Has anyone heard of the “Black Budget” that the president has? Supposedly, it is about $50 Billion dollars of tax payer money that he can spend anyway he wants.

Defund the entire HHS Dept. and send Sibelius packing. She can always get a job at an abortionist’s clinic, something she really believes in.
It’s past time for the Republicans to show that they are not all weenies, like Boehner is.

Apparently the Dems used backroom tricks to push this through, using a scheme that had never been used before in Congress. That is reason enough to cut this money out. But a failure to act on this will be proof that the GOP isn't serious about sending Obamacare to its grave. This is a no-brainer.

It's like in The Andromeda Strain, where Dr. Hall has to run around like a crazy man, looking for a recepticle to plug his special key into.

Ooh. Just discovered a hidden meaning there. Hmm.

Ther fact of the matter is, with the exception of the Tea Party Republicans, the rest are weenies just like Boehner, or he is a weenie like them.

If the Repubs don’t do this, they cannot expect my vote again - EVAH.

It’s decision time - either the Repubs get cojones or we get a third party.

I agree. I don’t see nearly enough action from this Congress. It’s make or break time.

You really don't think he is paying anything out of pocket for his and the"Mooches" trips do you?

Oh, are you saying that Pelosi, Reed and WH leftest conspired to not follow the "rules" (that Boehner & Co. are so determined to worship?)

I guess I’m asking if this “Black Budget” really exists and why? From my understanding, there are no records as to how this money is spent and who it goes to. As for his vacations, he doesn’t care if we know about it and I doubt if this money is used for that. But...what IS it used for and why does he even have it?

Just as the DimWits did, the Repubs should burry realeal in EVERY bill that come up, especially CRAs and Debt limit extensions. Just let O try to veto that! ha ha.

Double dare the Speaker, if he has a pair!

“Boehner and Cantor did not heed King and Bachmann. They pushed a CR that did not stop the $105.5 billion in automatic spending”

This is all you need to know to figure out what Congress is going to do to stop Obamacare. Lets just start calling it Boehnercare.

The Republicans should hang this, like an albatross, around Obama's neck going into the 2012 elections.

Actually they should start making him accountable for all the crap he has been pulling on this country.

Our RINO governor and other state officials have accepted some of this grant money. I am glad to say I voted against Gov. Mary Fallin in the primary. Too bad Brogdon didn’t win.

She also wants to establish a “closing fund” to lure businesses to OK. It’s just vacation and bribery cash for politicians and their buddies.
