President Obama isn’t the only one in the administration spending the last years of his term jetting around the country on the taxpayer’s dime.

A new report from the Washington Post reveals that White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett is preparing to travel to several states to promote the idea of mandatory paid leave policies.

The initiative, dubbed “Lead on Leave” begins next month in Seattle as well as Minnesota, California, Oregon, Georgia, Colorado and Pennsylvania.

how about mandatory work policy?

Where the govt picks our school and our trade. They assign the job to us and determine the pay.

““It’s a good place to start,” she said in a phone interview Tuesday, noting that 43 million Americans “do not have a single day of sick leave. We will work tirelessly to try to make sure every single American that we can possibly cover is covered by a sick-leave policy.””

Gosh! This must be the same 43 million Americans who did not have health insurance either. Now 3 million of them do and we’re not going to talk about the remainder. (Just rounded off for convenience sake)..Heck, it’s as accurate as any of THEIR figures.

What person with a full time job does NOT have paid sick leave today? Reading the article, the terms “leave” and “sick leave” are mixed so you have no idea what’s on their tiny minds. I started working in 1954 and worked until I was 70 and never had a job WITHOUT paid sick leave.

If it is not already too late this must stop. The upcoming generation will not be called citizens. They will be slaves if they work.

Lou Holtz said it well:

“It’s not about income inequality, it’s about civic irresponsibility. It’s about a political party that preaches hatred, greed and victimization in order to win elective office. It’s about a political party that loves power more than it loves its country.

That’s not invective, that’s truth, and it’s about time someone said it.

The politics of envy was on proud display a couple weeks ago when President Obama pledged the rest of his term to fighting “income inequality.” He noted that some people make more than other people, that some people have higher incomes than others, and he says that’s not just. That is the rationale of thievery.

The other guy has it, you want it, Obama will take it for you. Vote Democrat. That is the philosophy that produced Detroit.

It is the electoral philosophy that is destroying America. It conceals a fundamental deviation from American values and common sense because it ends up not benefiting the people who support it, but a betrayal.

Valerie Jarret is the daughter of deceaaed Vernon Jarret a well known black Newspaper collumnist with deep reported commie connections. Vernon also worked for the two major Chicago Dailys; Tribune and Sun Times for a period of time. That fact gets buried when discussions about her come up.

Because she like Obama was born and raised in a radical setting and those rotten apples haven’t fallen far from the tree. There is no doubt in my mind when those various examples of alledged racial incidents occured she was among others who were consulted first as to how to handle both the Florida and Missouri episodes. Before Obama used the “Bully Pulpit”.

It blows me away when I hear conservative talk hosts stuck in and because of “political correctness” (most recently Joe Paggs but he’s not alone) consistantly when it comes to both episodes claim a “misspeak” on Obama’s part. Obama’s a guy who relies on the teleprompter just to open his mouth. When he made those statements he consulted with others of the same driven agenda. It was calculated.

I own a company, I get all the time off I want.

I usually take it between midnight and 6 am.
