Obama's Economic Brutality(take your blood pressure pill before reading)
American Thinker ^ | 7-23-11 | Jen Kuznicki

Posted on 07/23/2011 8:59:59 AM PDT by radioone

In a 2001 radio interview, then-Illinois State Senator Barack Obama lamented that our Constitution described a bunch of negative rights -- things government cannot do, as opposed to things government can do. That the Constitution says what the federal government can't do to you, but doesn't say what the federal government or state government must do on your behalf.

We have come to find out that Obama governs in a way that's consistent with that lament. Instead of the Constitution telling his government what it can't do, his government is telling us what we cannot do anymore -- and provides the conditions to make us go along.

In his own words, we cannot drive SUVs, build coal plants, eat what we want, or be comfortable in our own homes.

The purpose of the Founding Fathers was to create a structure of government that would preserve freedom by giving all the power to the people and not the government.

The joys of being a alien “american”. As a adolescent he did not learn American culture, history, purpose and still cannot reconcile meaning. He learned America is white, Christian, dominant and powerful while being powerfully wrong.

America was conned into this manchurian, and then a corrupt judiciary has allowed him to stay. The dude is not a natural born.

But Obama can take care of his muzzie buddies:

BILLIONS FOR JIHAD!

Obama’s 2009 Supplemental Appropriations for Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Pandemic Flu was revised and “passed by the full committee.”
It gives billions http://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2009/05/13/obamas-supplemental-bill-passes-gives-billions-to-enemies/
of U.S. taxpayer dollars to countries and entities that support Sharia law and/or harbor, hide and support those who want to destroy the U.S. and our allies.
Read the summary from David Obey’s office that was quietly released last week with nary a word from any media.

• $3.6 billion, matching the request, to expand and improve capabilities of the Afghan security forces

• $400 million, as requested, to build the counterinsurgency capabilities of the Pakistani security forces

• Afghanistan: $1.52 billion, $86 million above the request

• West Bank and Gaza: $665 million in bilateral economic, humanitarian, and security assistance for the West Bank and Gaza

• Jordan: $250 million, $250 million above the request, including $100 million for economic and $150 million for security assistance

• Egypt: $360 million, $310 million above the request, including $50 million for economic assistance, $50 million for border security, and $260 million for security assistance

• Pakistan: $1.9 billion, $591 million above the request

• Iraq: $968 million, $336 million above the request

• Oversight: $20 million, $13 million above the request, to expand oversight capacity of the State Department, USAID, and the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan to review programs in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq
• Lebanon: $74 million

• International Food Assistance: $500 million, $200 million above the request, for PL 480 international food assistance to alleviate suffering during the global economic crisis

• Refugee Assistance: $343 million, $50 million above the request, …including humanitarian assistance for Gaza. Funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency programs in the West Bank and Gaza is limited to $119 million (Note: Gaza = Hamas)

• Disaster Assistance: $200 million to avert famines and provide life-saving assistance during natural disasters and for internally displaced people around the world, including Somalia, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, the Middle East and South Asia

•Peacekeeping: $837 million for United Nations
peacekeeping operations, including an expanded mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and a new mission in Chad and the Central African Republic

• Department of Justice: $17 million, matching the request, for counter-terrorism activities and to provide training and assistance for the Iraqi criminal justice system
The mainstream media remains silent on this but the International News has now picked up the story http://www.thenews.com.pk/top_story_detail.asp?Id=22164
— and then there is Obama’s $108 billion IMF bailout scheme http://michellemalkin.com/2009/05/13/obamas-100-billion-imf-bailout-scheme/
in addition to the Supplemental.
And THIS is what Obama is doing to American taxpayers:
THE BIGGEST TAX HIKE IN AMERICAN HISTORY:

Obama gives your tax dollars to rebuild Muslim mosques around the world
http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/26990#

ACCORDING TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WILL GIVE AWAY NEARLY $6 MILLION OF AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS TO RESTORE 63 HISTORIC AND CULTURAL SITES, INCLUDING ISLAMIC MOSQUES AND MINARETS, IN 55 NATIONS. See the State Department document here.

I agree with you that Baraq gets creamed in any 2-way matchup.

I’m concerned that Romney will get the R nomination, a Tea Party challenger will make it a 3-way race, and Baraq wins a Clintonian plurality.

Also it’s very unlikely that we’ll secure a veto-proof Senate in 012 so King Baraq would still have some power.

“Take your blood pressure pill before reading???”

Just kind of my way to get across that this article could potentially upset someone that read it as it details just how bad Obama and his administration are to this great country. Being from the midwest, I’ve had people over many decades say to me “take your blood pressure pill before reading this”. Back “in the day” they were normally referring to Time or Newsweek Magazines. Maybe it was too old of an expression to use. In that case, I apologize.

...and don't forget trashing NASA and using it to improve the “esteem” of the islamics.

Indeed, nothing is worse than a foreign racist infiltrated into our country who has a natural animus against people around himself, all the while playing the pimp “I love you because I am a muslim and islam loves all” card - blaspheming God under that of a group structure of animalistic mosques.
