The President has a List
The Wall Street Journal ^ | April 26, 2012 | Kimberley Strassel

Richard Nixon's "enemies list" appalled the country for the simple reason that presidents hold a unique trust. Unlike senators or congressmen, presidents alone represent all Americans. Their powers—to jail, to fine, to bankrupt—are also so vast as to require restraint. Any president who targets a private citizen for his politics is de facto engaged in government intimidation and threats. This is why presidents since Nixon have carefully avoided the practice.

Save Mr. Obama, who acknowledges no rules.

Communists excel at creating artificial shortages. That is what happened, for example, to the Ukrainians in the 1930s, when food became in short supply due to Stalin's deliberate policies. As a result, millions starved, but NOT the "socially useful".

Now the muslim communist obama and his minions, under obamacare, are working to make medical care, medicines, and medical devices "scarce resources", which need to be rationed and reserved for "the socially useful".

Medical research, entrepreneurship, and medical charities--as well as medical insurance and Medicare--work to make medical care better and better, and more available to those who need it. Thus American cancer patients receive better care and have longer life expectancies than British ones (governed by the socialist NHS and the death panel called "NICE").

Let's keep the American system, and keep bureaucrats, death panels, and communists OUT of the doctor-patient relationship!!!! Repeal obamacare, and repeal obama, too!!!!

I think that if I donate to Romney, I’ll have a desired amount in mind to give. Thanks to Richard Milhouse Obama, I’ll go ahead and double that. :-)

PING!

The House is run by cowardly pussycats and the Senate is run by a man who believes he is a god in the making and does everything in his power to protect the affiramtive action little bastard boy in the White House. So no, there is no way to impeach and remove the little commie bastard.
