It’s not just Republicans who despise Hussein and his handlers.

It sounds like the people she’s going to are people that are being regulated by her agency......

Over the weekend, The New York Times reported that two organizations expected to be supporting the law are The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which is expected to give $10 million,.... and H&R Block, which will give a “donation” of $500,000. ...

additionally.... according to an insurance industry executive,...... “some insurers had been asked for $1 million donations, and that ‘bigger companies have been asked for a lot more.’”

That sounds like there were a direct solicitations.

Hopefully one or more of those companies sent letters to by the House Energy and Commerce Committee will confirm Sebelius solicited them for donations, she'll be gone and it'd be nice to see her in a gray bar hotel.

These Obama ‘scandals’ are not just scandals. They are crimes.

Those on the Left have routinely pulled the race card whenever the right criticizes the Obama Syndicate. Obama promised on the campaign trail that he would have the most transparent administration in history. It is out of the cloak of secrecy that the Obama Syndicate has built a house of cards out of corruption. It is a result of the Lame Stream Media that Obama has been able to build a regime deep in corruption. Their First Amendment protections have not given America any benefit. It has not created any watch dogs in the media. Instead, we have only neutered lapdogs worried about a few race cards.

The Obama house of cards is coming down. Questions are multiplying as revelations about Benghazi, IRS targeting and AP phone records come flying in from every direction. The Obama Syndicate has been beset with scandals. From Fast and Furious, the Acorn money laundering scandal, the recruitment of illegal aliens to receive food stamps as a means of gathering votes for Obama’s re-election, the "Green Scandals," the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation scandal, the Brookfield Asset Management scandal, the Pigford v. Glickman lawsuit settlement, Holder's involvement in the Press Leaks Scandal and others too numerous to list. This places the Obama Syndicate as the most dishonest and criminal presidencies in U.S. history.

Many are comparing Obama's corruption to the Nixon administration. Nixon's second article of impeachment was abuse of the IRS. Nixon was a piker compared to Obama who has done impeachable offenses that Nixon only planned to do.

FLASHBACK: Did Obama Bully Roberts Into Upholding Obamacare?

(UPDATE: It All Makes Sense Now With IRS and AP Scandals)

May 24, 2013

Originally Posted on June 29, 2012

(Keith Koffler) — Was Supreme Court John Roberts intimidated by President Obama and his allies into writing a startling, incomprehensible opinion that preserved Obama’s signature achievement as president?

Is it possible that the august corridors of the Supreme Court were trampled by Chicago-style political tactics, that the Constitution was shredded by the dog-eared playbook of bullying activist Saul Alinsky, the guiding light of Obama’s political operation?

There is no way to prove that Chief Justice John Roberts was intimidated into upholding Obamacare as constitutional, no way to conjure his thoughts. Even Roberts may not fully understand why he made the decision he did.

But there is evidence to suggest that the brewing outcry that the Court had become a political weapon run by a cabal of Republican legal hacks – the liberal Justices, who walk in lockstep, were under this theory clinging united to “principle” – weighed on Roberts, along with the likelihood that Obama would make this a theme of his reelection campaign.

Back on April 2, Obama helped ignite the recent focus by politicians and commentators on the “politicization” of the Supreme Court when he menaced:

Ultimately, I’m confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress. And I’d just remind conservative commentators that for years what we’ve heard is, the biggest problem on the bench was judicial activism or a lack of judicial restraint — that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law. Well, this is a good example. And I’m pretty confident that this Court will recognize that and not take that step.

Remarks that could have been written by a Brooklyn Wise Guy: I’m confident you’ll do the right thing, see?

All of this was theater. There’s nothing “unprecedented” or “extraordinary” about the Supreme Court overturning a law, and Obamacare was not passed by a “strong majority.” What was extraordinary was the sight of a president, standing in the Rose Garden, leaning on the Supreme Court.

Obama had inappropriately gone after the Court before, of course, criticizing the Justices to their faces during the 2010 State of the Union for having “reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests” in the Citizens United case and calling on Congress to “pass a bill that helps to right this wrong.”

Is there anyone who seriously doubts that Obama would have made denigrating the Supreme Court – and promoting himself to fix it with second term appointments – a central plank of his campaign?

The first suggestion that Roberts may have been influenced by all this is that it appears he may have changed his mind after initially supporting the four conservatives who voted to strike down Obamacare.

The Wall Street Journal writes today:
