FREEPER ACTION---Obama gave Mrs O $100 million tax dollars from the State Dept's Millennium Challenge Corporation on her visit to Morocco, to "teach Muslim girls". The 100 million tax dollars are to be held by, and doled out by, the post-presidency tax-exempt Obama Foundation.

A new era in looting and pillaging the US Treasury has been set.

LOOK AT THAT SMILE Michele, her daughters and her mother in
Morocco's palace. 100 million dollars to spend when she and Mr O
get back to Chicago

=========================================

Obama recently gave Michelle 100 million tax dollars to give to Morocco to "teach Muslim girls (NOTE Morocco previously scored a State Dept compact worth almost a billion dollars to increase literacy).

The tax money to Michele came from a State Dept agency under Hillary's control---the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC)

=============================================

FREEPER ACTION PROJECT--DO THIS NOW: demand the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) books be opened. We demand to know the financial details and the scope and dimension of individuals connected to these outrageous State Dept giveaways....govt parasites profiting at taxayers' expense.

CONTACT CONGRESS HERE---http://www.contactingthecongress.org/

Americans must demand to see fund solicitation letters coming out of Obama's tax-exempt presidential foundations and his Chicago library fund.

Are any of his WH comments used to forward his policy being regurgitated in fund solicitation latter

Americans demand to know if US govt policy is being wrongly used....in an effort to raise tax-free money for the Obamas.

Only someone who epitomizes cluelessness...

That would describe his progressive supporters and snowflakes everywhere, and why his favorability ratings are so high.

Obama foundation invites foundation donors to the White House
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | 5/19/16 | Lynn Sweet / FR posted by Nachum

WASHINGTON — A new study details how President Barack Obama has been inviting his Obama Foundation donors to events at the White House, a venue that obviously won’t be available to him to entertain mega contributors in a few months. The Obama Foundation, created on Jan. 31, 2014, has to date only 39 contributors, with the money coming either from individuals or foundations controlled by Obama supporters.

The nonprofit, nonpartisan oversight Maplight Foundation found that 15 of the 39 have been to the White House for small meetings or events, fewer than 30 attendees, including everyone connected to a contribution of more than $100,000.

Most of the donors have been longtime political supporters and friends — or at least acquaintances of Obama — and have been in and out of the White House for years.

However, Maplight found that at an intimate White House dinner in January 2015 with actress Julia Roberts, the guests included two couples who had recently made jumbo contributions to the Chicago-based foundation.

And as 2015 progressed, one of the couples at the dinner kicked in even more, the foundation IRS report released last Friday reveals.

Among those at the January 2015 dinner were Mark Gallogly, the managing partner of Centerbridge Partners, an investment firm, and his wife, Lise Strickler. At that point, the New York couple had donated $340,000 to the foundation.

By the end of 2015, they put in an additional $330,000 for a total of $670,000. I checked to see what else was new: Gallogly and Strickler were invited to the State Dinner the Obamas hosted in March for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

In 2014, Tom Campion, owner of the Zumiez clothing chain and his wife, Sonya, gave the foundation $500,000. The Seattle couple found themselves at the Julia Roberts dinner along with folks who have also been longtime Obama backers. Another guest that evening was one of Obama’s favorite authors, Marilynne Summers Robinson.

The White House has said — and underscored this again on Wednesday at the daily briefing when asked about the Maplight report — that the Obamas are not fundraising for the foundation while in office. Well, no one is selling tickets to anything, that’s accurate. That’s not how fundraising at the mega level is done.

Obama will have to raise hundreds of millions of dollars to construct and endow his Obama Presidential Center on Chicago’s South Side. Fundraising at the elite donor level is an art, a nuanced dance, especially for an institution that will exist in perpetuity.

Small dinners are not put on Obama’s daily guidance and schedule. On April 2, 2016, the White House volunteered that Obama and first lady Michelle hosted their first White House event for supporters of the Obama Foundation. That dinner was not a fundraiser, the White House said.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said: “What we have said about donors to the campaign also applies to donors at the foundation, and it’s simply this: Donating in support of the President’s foundation does not guarantee you a meeting with the President of the United States. It also doesn’t prevent you from getting a meeting with the President of the United States, and that’s the approach that we’ve taken, again, with regard to supporters of the President’s campaign, and it’s the approach that we’ve taken with regard to supporters of the President’s foundation.”

A lot of this is prospecting for the future.....M/M have Big plans to get-rich-quick ala the Clintons.

I refer to the Fraud as the Fraud, with a capital “F”.

And his “missus” ain’t one.

I’d like to see a Presidential Medal of Freedom awarded posthumously to Joan Rivers for her courage and sacrifice.

...."I am not convinced it has completely awakened...."

Me neither. I correspond with a couple of former high school classmates. They wrung their hands supporting and voting for Trump because they thought he wasn't presidential enough and wasn't going to be up to the job.

And then Trump won. Did that convince them? Not at all. One called me yesterday, all up in arms because Trump was backpedaling on his campaign promises and his transition team was in chaos and disarray.

After I calmed her down, I asked her where she learned this information from. Well, CNN, of course, she answered. I've told her before to not watch the MSM for her "news" because the "fake news" line they are pedaling now is just another name for political correctness being applied to their rival's news stories. Those stories don't agree with their 24/7 efforts to get rid or at least diminish Trump, so they label them "fake news". When, in fact, the MSM if the biggest spewer of fake news there is.

This woman still hasn't awakened to the realities of the media in this country. She is still in a slumber amid their fake news reports.

When Stalin starved millions in the Ukraine, he never entertained the notion that he’d done anything but help his country.

The nations debt when Obama took office was in the $9.6 trillion range, when he leaves office in January ‘17 it will be closing in on $20 trillion. That's $10 trillion in debt accrued in 8 years. Leaving the nation saddled with more debt, in one term, than all of his presidential predecessors combined. Wow ... what a legacy!

Ways to nail Obama and disgorge all he possesses:

ITEM——Its next to impossible to believe this megalomaniac did not know what Hillary and the nefarious Clinton Foundation was up to.

US L/E sources indicate that the extensive DOJ probe was more focused on the possibility that Hillary’s private server was used to protect messaging in which Secy Clinton allegedly discussed quid pro quo transactions with private donors to the Clinton Foundation in exchange for influence on U.S. policy.

There is an abundance of evidence to prove that this was going on.

ITEM-— REALITY COMES KNOCKING—A provision in the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) is intended to prevent the govt from co-opting United States citizens and companies

Significantly, EAR proscribes using US citizens as instrumentalities to advance a foreign government’s foreign policy. This clearly describe the State Dept activities under Hillary. As a tax-paid govt employee, Hillary clearly used her tax-paid office for purely personal/political reasons.......involving the interests of foreign countries.......particularly foreign donors to the Clinton Foundation.

ITEM——CONCLUSION—The Export Administration Regulations (EAR) apply to all “U.S. persons” (defined to include individuals and companies located in the United States and their foreign affiliates).

The provisions are intended to prevent United States citizens and companies being used as instrumentalities of a foreign government’s foreign policy.

Offending persons are subject to the EAR law when their activities relate to the sale, purchase, or transfer of goods or services (including the sale of information) within the United States or between the United States and a foreign country.

This covers exports and imports, financing, forwarding and shipping, and certain other transactions that may take place wholly offshore.....and/or across the borders with private donors to the Clinton Foundation in exchange for influence on U.S. policy.


ITEM-— The Hobbs Act should also be employed to prosecute these POLITICAL offenders.

The Hobbs Act 18 U.S. Code § 1951, passed in 1946, is a federal law that prohibits robbery or extortion, or attempted robbery or extortion, that affects interstate or foreign commerce.

The Act originally was designed to target racketeering in labor-management disputes that were common at the time.

More recently it has been used to prosecute and jail politicans involved in graft and corruption b/c this is seen as impairing interstate and foreign commerce.

The legacy of the United States of America is at least 50x more important than the legacy of any one of its Presidents. Barack Obama’s legacy will be simply that he was the first African-American to be elected POTUS. His legacy will not be decided by “educators” and “journalists” and there is nothing the mainstream media can do or say to change that. Soon, they will all become reacquainted with objectivity and fairness in their reporting, making it possible for their industry to survive the tainted and unprofessional image it projects of itself.

“As a result, Democrats are on the verge of choosing Rep. Keith Ellison (MN), a radical left-winger who supports the Muslim Brotherhood-front group, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), and who has been a harsh critic of America’s ally Israel.”

This.

If the dems choose Ellison, and Trump names CAIR a terrorist organization like he should, the Democrats will literally be led by a terrorist sympathizer.

Fortunately, the new owner plans a restoration.
New more powerful turbo charged motor, 5 speed transmission,
real leather seats and a yuge sound system.

Nothing to feel sorry for , by the time B. Hussein came of age AA programs were put in place to give him unconstitutional advantages that took from my demographic cohort. Hopefully every flim-flam he was every part of will be completely exposed, too late to undo much of the past damage but hopefully to push him firmly into the margins politically
