100 Reasons to Vote Against obama / For Mitt Romney- 21 to 25...21 - Paul Ryan. No one knows the budget like Paul Ryan. No one is prepared to make extraordinary steps to correct our shortcomings.22 - Joe Biden. Enough said.23 - One word – Israel. If you are a supporter of the state of Israel, you cannot vote for obama. He has no love for the State of Israel. He has not been to the state of Israel since he has been elected. His hostility for the Jewish State has been omnipresent in his foreign policy.24 - obama’s tense relationship with Benjamin Netanyahu. He is the strongest Israeli prime ministry in recent times and obama refuses to meet with him as Iran is getting critically close to gaining nuclear power status. He doesn’t have time for Netanyahu, yet he has time to go on David Letterman and The View.25 - obama did nothing for the Iranian green revolution. He was urged by many people to stand by the Iranian people when they stood against our enemies, the Iranian regime. He did nothing and the revolution was suppressed.Defenders, Defenders, Anyone???

I like the Defenders - but really am more of an Avengers guy myself. The West Coast Avengers are kinda lame - I mean instead of the hulk, you get his cousin, who's a chick (NTTAWWT - in fact, I'd go green) - but c'mon. The WCA are like a copy of an old VHS tape...you get the idea but it's not quite as good as the original.Keep posting BYD! You make conservatives look like left-leaning moderates by comparison. You're doing God's work. TIA.

I don't know why I bother, but...21 - This is dumb. Whether Paul Ryan knows a lot about the budget (and that is probably debatable) has nothing to do with whether one agrees with his ideas on how to "fix" it. I'm in favor of significant cuts to a lot of programs, but reasonable people can disagree.22 - I don't know how any conservative can make the argument that Joe Biden is a clown, yet four years ago supported the choice of Sarah Palin. Joe Biden on his worst day is still light years ahead of Palin's intellectual capabilities.24 - I agree, it was a bad PR move for Obama's team that they said they didn't have time to meet with Netanyahu.25 - So, Obama sucks because he didn't intervene in Iran's revolution, but he also sucks because he did intervene in Libya's revolution?

Letterman: Obama "Not Telling The Truth" About Romney And Auto Bailout

DAVE LETTERMAN, HOST: Here's what upset me last night … this playing fast and loose with facts. And President Obama cites the op-ed piece that Romney wrote about Detroit, 'Let them go bankrupt, let them go bankrupt.' And last night he brings it up again, 'Oh no, Governor, you said let them go bankrupt, blah blah blah, let them go bankrupt, blah.' And Mitt said, 'No, no, check the thing, check the thing, check the thing.'

Now, I don't care whether you're Republican or Democrat, you want your president to be telling the truth, you want the contender to be lying. And so when we found out today or soon thereafter that, in fact, the President Obama was not telling the truth about what was excerpted from that op-ed piece, I felt discouraged.

RACHEL MADDOW, GUEST: Because the 'Let Detroit Go Bankrupt' headline, you felt like, was inappropriate?

LETTERMAN: The fact that the President is invoking it and swearing that he was right and that Romney was wrong and I thought, well, he's the president, of course he's right. Well, it turned out no, he was taking liberties with that.

Administration Ignores Law, Delays Exposing New Regulations

After three years of hyper-regulation, the Obama Administration has noticeably slowed its rulemaking in recent months. A variety of major rules have been parked in prolonged “review” by the White House, while the regulatory agenda required by statute has failed to materialize—twice. This flouting of the law is disturbing enough, but it’s made worse by the mounting regulatory uncertainty that has ensued.

Congress mandated a regulatory agenda from each agency in 1980, under the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The statute calls for release every April and October of a summary of all rules likely to have a “significant economic impact” on a substantial number of small firms. Subsequent executive orders extended the requirements to all regulations under development or review by some 60 departments, agencies, and commissions.

President Obama has ignored both the April 2012 and October 2012 agenda deadlines. The last agenda from the Administration, with 2,676 regulations, was published in fall 2011. The President’s neglect of the law contradicts his promise of an “unprecedented level of openness in government transparency.”

Notice of upcoming regulatory actions is an essential tool of government transparency and accountability. The agenda enables citizens to participate in the rulemaking process, businesses to plan, and Congress to engage in oversight. The stakes are especially high now because of the hundreds of rules yet to be finalized relating to the Dodd-Frank financial regulation statute and Obamacare.

The Administration has postponed action of late on some of its most ambitious regulations. For example, stricter standards on ozone emissions have been shelved until 2013. The original proposal by the Environmental Protection Agency would cost $90 billion or more annually and, potentially, jeopardize millions of jobs.

Also on hold are various regulations to control power plant emissions of so-called greenhouse gases that would dramatically increase energy costs, as well as the designation of coal ash as a “hazardous substance”—estimated to cost $79 billion to $110 billion and thousands of jobs in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Missouri and Ohio.

There is ample reason to believe that this recent “draw-back” of rulemaking portends a regulatory tsunami in the coming year. Of particular note is the large number of proposed regulations that are piling up at the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), the department within the Office of Management and Budget which reviews rules before they are published in the Federal Register.

According to OIRA data, a whopping 78 percent of the 151 regulations awaiting review have been pending at the office for more than 90 days—thus exceeding the maximum time allotted under executive order.

Among the most costly:

•A Department of Transportation rule to require a rear-view camera and video display for all new cars and trucks, at an estimated cost of up to $2.7 billion.

•Revisions to the so-called Boiler MACT rules that impose stricter limits on industrial and commercial boilers and incinerators. The EPA pegged the cost of its original proposal at $9.5 billion, but independent analysts estimated the cost to be as much as $20 billion.

•Energy conservation standards for walk-in coolers and freezers as well as commercial refrigeration, which would apply to virtually all equipment used in retail food stores. This is estimated by the Department of Energy to increase manufacturing costs by $500 million over four years.

•Department of Labor restrictions on worker exposure to crystalline silica (fine particles of sand common to mining, manufacturing and construction). One analysis submitted to OIRA by engineering and economic consultants estimated compliance costs would be $5.5 billion annually, the loss of 17,000 “person-years” of employment, and $3.1 billion of economic output each year.

It would be good news for both the economy and consumers if the rulemaking delays are a result of more thorough cost analysis or consideration of regulatory alternatives. But there’s no indication that the Administration has embraced a newfound skepticism toward red tape. The evidence instead suggests that a multitude of major rules are simply awaiting release next year.

No one knows for certain, of course. But that very uncertainty is itself damaging to the economy. That is one important reason Congress requires the Administration to disclose its regulatory intentions in semi-annual agendas. President Obama should follow that law.

It's become comically bad.....I really expected his foreign policies to be the issue. Turns out it was the total opposite. I don't really put the "embarrassment" of the NSA stuff on any particular president (plausible deniability etc) but domestically, his crew can't get out of it's own way.

 

[Sarnoff]

This Obama guy actually kinda sucks.

I do notice that things never seem to be his fault, though. It's always either Bush's fault, or some result of some minor thing that happened before he was elected, or, some thing that happened after he was elected but whatever it was, no one told him about it. Like the NSA thing... "No one told me they were doing this."

Just weird that that's always the reason.

I have trouble reconciling the view that "Bush had no clue" with the view that Bush was, secretly, actually responsible for every negative incident in the last 20 years, from vast geopolitcal conspiracies and secret wars to partly cloudy skies and McDonald's deciding to eliminate the Dollar Menu.

I just have a hard time believing he's completely unaware of basically anything bad that happens (NSA, Benghazi, Fast & Furious, IRS Scandal, regarindg Obamacare, the rollout and his comments about 'if you like your health insurance, you can keep it'") and that he finds out these things on the news.

I don't think he knows everything happening, that's probably impossible, but at the same, denying he has any knowledge of anything makes him look incompetent.

W didn't have to point a finger at the past Admin. He had the benefit of 8 years of a limit of a POTUS seat, and all he had to do was carry his own message against Gore. He pwned Gore in the debates by doing so. Yet he had to have SCOTUS decide the election.

The reason why Obama won over Hilary was due to the promise of the end of the cycle of political dynasties, and why they have failed. The Bush Dynasty over time will show in history one of the most damaging ones globally as well as economically. When it came to Iraq, who was W gonna point the finger at? His own Father? George H and **** Cheney have been screwing up things with the Middle East for decades. George H even more as CIA Director. Cold War ends, let's find a new enemy, let's find a way to keep the defense budget inflated, let's try to justify our geo-political strategies, wave the flag when we have to, have a media arm on it's side that's sole purpose is to generate profits via propaganda, and hey, therein lies Obama, who can point his finger while still not derailing those profit machines of he pointing the finger, and further dividing the US because we are willing to be divided.

Amercans live in fear now, and they fear not any outside influence. We fear our own Government. Why? Because that's what they want. You fear one side, and the other will fear the other side. People wonder which side I am on. I tell you which side I am on right now.

I am an American. I come from a generation of immigrants. I was born American, and wherever I go, I will always be an American. I love being an American, and I am proud to be one. I live my life as one. This is who I am, and nobody, not even my Government will take this away from me. I play American music, I know how screwed up our History is, but I will never apologize for being American.

I find we talking sides due to bull#### news outlets is making us weak, scared, and threatens who we are as Americans. We are in decades of war and all we complain about is how this American might have to help another American. All we do is blame. Blame is for children, and even children really don't have that capacity unless we teach them that they aren't accountable. Our freedom of speech is compromised, marketed, stolen, and used to where what we say doesn't mean a damn thing anymore. It's noise. And guess what? All we are is conditioned to make as much noise as we can with no real substance. We are the ultimate trolls. Serving those who dictate what we will say, profit from it, and collect it as data, which we don't own anymore, and ultimately will be used against us via a gutless SCOTUS.

A fight starts with words. I have never seen in my lifetime this many Americans, or any people fight among each other with words. The worst thing is that the words really don't come from us as individuals - rather they are dictated by others. We still haven't got past the fact that we have been conquered by outside influence and cultures. 9/11 was almost a nuclear event in that we were that vulnerable to an attack, yet we as Americans gave carte blanche to our government after that day, to which now we still are paying for. But that's our fault. We are post apocalyptic America. Every man for himself. We listen to political pundits, most who have never governed on a City Council. All they do is create fight words to divide and conquer for the sake of a ratings book. Which ultimately makes you just a number. Data. Nothing more.

I've said this before and I will say this again: we have become valuable data to others that we should own, but never will. Our individualism, freedom, and liberty means nothing now. We are just numbers. Data. We don't have to own anything to be valuable as long as we have value within an algorithm. We are basically nothing now to both the government and the outside interest that controls it. BYOD? That does not mean bring your own device. That means "bring your own data". Your pulse rate in a deposition? That can be logged and weighed, due to your shiny new iPhone 5S. Otis' shiny new wearable smart device could be used as a lie detector, but it looks so cool, and when paired with his shiny Chromebook using Google Docs might have someone else listening to the data in real time, but it's cool, so Otis doesn't really care or know how to care about it.

Basically, the person who thinks he or she is the smartest person in the room, is the best person they target. The NSA knows this. Because that's the data that's more valuable.

Anyway, back to drinking more cheap beer.

Bush had no clue but acted like he had one. That's better?

"Bush...." Is no longer an acceptable way to explain away Obama's disastrous presidency.

Agreed, how long can the Libs keep using this excuse. Obama has been a nightmare and his Obamacare he has wasted all his time on while ignoring the economy is a complete disaster.

This Obama guy actually kinda sucks.

I do notice that things never seem to be his fault, though. It's always either Bush's fault, or some result of some minor thing that happened before he was elected, or, some thing that happened after he was elected but whatever it was, no one told him about it. Like the NSA thing... "No one told me they were doing this."

Just weird that that's always the reason.

Conservatives were blaming Clinton for the entirety of Bush's presidency.

Everything is always the fault of the previous president the opposing party had in office. don't you see how this works?

But was Bush doing it? I don't remember him pointing fingers like this President does.

The reason why Obama won over Hilary was due to the promise of the end of the cycle of political dynasties, and why they have failed.

No, the reason why 0bama won anything was he was black and we were a country desperately trying to prove we could see beyond race.

Obamanos!!! I live, eat and breath Obama and the extreme left ideology. I have Obama pajamas and underwear and Obama pictures all over the room that my mom let's me have. But I'm really an Independent. No, seriously, I am.

Fixed, for accuracy.

Side story to the Iranian talks that didn't get nearly enough play

We just made a “deal” with a country that is holding and torturing an American pastor — without even bothering to secure that pastor’s release.

Saeed Abedini, a pastor who lives in Idaho with his wife and two young kids, secured a permission from the government of Iran to enter the country last year to help build an orphanage. Once there, the Revolutionary Guard arrested him and tried him for “national security” charges that were based on nothing more than his Christian faith.

The jihadist kangaroo court convicted him and sentenced him to eight years in prison, where he’s been tortured and abused. We were heartened (the American Center for Law and Justice represents Pastor Abedini’s family), when President Obama raised the issue when he spoke to Iranian president Hassan Rouhani. But in a stunning and immediate rebuke to President Obama, the Iranians shortly thereafter moved Abedini to an even worse prison, where he shares quarters with murderers and rapists.

Yet rather than viewing such a rebuke as unacceptable and holding firm on sanctions until the Iranians relented, the administration not only pressed forward on a deal that gives Iran sanctions relief while allowing it to keep enriching uranium, but also pledged to facilitate “humanitarian transactions” for the people of Iran.

As ACLJ chief counsel Jay Sekulow noted in his Fox column, we have offered to facilitate humanitarian aid for Iran, but Iran can’t even bring itself to make the single “humanitarian transaction” of releasing Pastor Saeed.

If you look at the Obama administration’s “fact sheet” released in the aftermath of the deal, you’ll note the deal is based entirely around a series of Iranian “commitments.” These commitments would be easier to believe if they were accompanied by a single, concrete good-faith action, such as releasing all Americans wrongly held in Iran.

But that apparently wasn’t an administration priority. When Fox News asked why Pastor Saeed wasn’t included in the deal, the administration responded: ”The P5+1 talks focused exclusively on nuclear issues.”

No, they did not. They also included “humanitarian” discussions.

Do we only care about the humanitarian needs of Iranians?

The Obama administration has established its troubling Middle Eastern pattern. In service of its grand vision, it will leave Americans behind — whether they’re besieged and isolated on a dark Benghazi night or alone and afraid in a dreadful Iranian prison.

Fascinating testimony from liberal Jonathan Turley yesterday on Obama's usurpation of executive authority

The recent nonenforcement policies add a particularly menacing element to this pattern. They effectively reduce the legislative process to a series of options for presidential selection ranging from negation to full enforcement. The Framers warned us of such a system and we accept it – either by acclaim or acquiescence – at our peril.

The current claims of executive power will outlast this president and members must consider the implications of the precedent that they are now creating through
inaction and silence. What if a future president decided that he or she did not like some environmental laws or anti-discrimination laws? Indeed, as discussed below, the nonenforcement policy is rarely analyzed to its natural conclusion, which leads to a fundamental shift in constitutional principles going back to Marbury v. Madison. The separation of powers is the very foundation for our system; the original covenant reached by the Founding Generation and passed on to successive generations. It is that system that produces laws that can be truly said to represent the wishes of the majority of Americans. It is also the very thing that gives a president the authority to govern in the name of all Americans. Despite the fact that I once voted for President Obama, personal admiration is no substitute for the constitutional principles at stake in this controversy. When a president claims the inherent power of both legislation and enforcement, he becomes a virtual government unto himself. He is not simply posing a danger to the constitutional system; he becomes the very danger that the Constitution was designed to avoid.

...

Once again, it is important to divorce the subject of such legislation or the identity of the president from the constitutional analysis. The circumvention of the legislative process not only undermines the authority of this branch but destabilizes the tripartite system as a whole. If President Obama can achieve the same result of legislation by executive fiat, future presidents could do the same in negating environmental or discrimination or consumer protection laws. Such practices further invest the Administrative State with a degree of insularity and independence that poses an obvious danger to liberty interests protected by divided government. This danger is made all the more menacing by the clear assumption by the Executive Branch that artificially narrow standing rules will insulate the orders from judicial scrutiny and relief. With Congress so marginalized and courts so passive, the Fourth Branch threatens to become a government unto itself for all practical purposes.
