Which one of these would have stopped the Newtown shooter?






Barry's 23 Executive Orders on gun control.



 Funny thing... not one word on violent video games, rap music extolling the virtue of killing cops, and a movie industry which glorifies gun violence. Another oddity. In some of these he's issuing a Presidential Memorandum to himself. What? Also your doctor can now ask you if there is a gun in your home. Which in turn you can ask him if he's cheating on his wife. If doctor's thought they were paying high premiums for malpractice insurance watch what happens now!



1. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal agencies to make relevant data available to the federal background check system.

2. Address unnecessary legal barriers, particularly relating to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, that may prevent states from making information available to the background check system.

3. Improve incentives for states to share information with the background check system.

4. Direct the Attorney General to review categories of individuals prohibited from having a gun to make sure dangerous people are not slipping through the cracks. 

5. Propose rulemaking to give law enforcement the ability to run a full background check on an individual before returning a seized gun.

6. Publish a letter from ATF to federally licensed gun dealers providing guidance on how to run background checks for private sellers.

7. Launch a national safe and responsible gun ownership campaign. 





8. Review safety standards for gun locks and gun safes (Consumer Product Safety Commission).

9. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal law enforcement to trace guns recovered in criminal investigations.

10. Release a DOJ report analyzing information on lost and stolen guns and make it widely available to law enforcement.

11. Nominate an ATF director.

12. Provide law enforcement, first responders, and school officials with proper training for active shooter situations.

13. Maximize enforcement efforts to prevent gun violence and prosecute gun crime. 

14. Issue a Presidential Memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control to research the causes and prevention of gun violence.


15. Direct the Attorney General to issue a report on the availability and most effective use of new gun safety technologies and challenge the private sector to develop innovative technologies


16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.

17. Release a letter to health care providers clarifying that no federal law prohibits them from reporting threats of violence to law enforcement authorities.

18. Provide incentives for schools to hire school resource officers.

19. Develop model emergency response plans for schools, houses of worship and institutions of higher education.

20. Release a letter to state health officials clarifying the scope of mental health services that Medicaid plans must cover.

21. Finalize regulations clarifying essential health benefits and parity requirements within ACA exchanges.

22. Commit to finalizing mental health parity regulations.

23. Launch a national dialogue led by Secretaries Sebelius and Duncan on mental health.




The only one I've seen which may have helped is number 18, and only if... "hire school resource officers"...means armed guards. Numbers 4- 6- 10- and 15 are almost laughable. What we're talking about here is Eric Holder. Mr Contempt of Congress. The same guy who allowed 2,000 guns to "walk" to Mexican drug cartels, killing hundreds of people, including two border patrol agents, and the tally is still rising. Ironically, Barry exercised the same ploy using an Executive Order to rescue Holder after his stalling tactics and continual lying failed to work before a Congressional hearing headed by Darrell Issa.

If Barry was really serious about gun control and violent crime.

He would have this guy arrested.



Barry shamelessly trots these kids out like carefully orchestrated props represented by every "flavor" to push forth his agenda. He is their personal Savior. His sweeping actions inoculated them from being shot.







Maybe the Republicans should use kids during the debt ceiling debate. Have them hold up a sign and parade them around on stage.

Tour de Fraud



Update
1-17-2013


Lance Armstrong has been stripped of his 2000 Olympic Games cycling time trial bronze medal by the International Olympic Committee, continuing his spectacular fall from grace.'We have written asking for the return of the medal from the Sydney 2000 Games,' an IOC official told Reuters on Thursday after the decision to take away the last major title won by the disgraced American.
The move was confirmed to the AP on the same day that Armstrong's admission of using performance-enhancing drugs – after years of denials – is to be broadcast in an interview with Oprah Winfrey.

This confirms what I said below.



Over 20 years of lies. I see no upside for Armstrong coming clean after all this time. I don't know what Oprah paid him but it wasn't enough. 




Don't get me wrong. I'm not defending him. The only thing he had left was the uncertainty he skillfully placed in some people's minds. Those people who never believed had their suspicions confirmed. Those who did now see him for the liar he is. Up until about a year ago I believed him myself. The sad reality for Lance Armstrong is he probably would have won 7 Tour de France titles without doping up. 




Maybe Oprah could get Barry on.. they could talk about.... Solyndra, Fast and Furious, Benghazi. The WH leaks...etc...

Don't bet on it.

Absurdity taken to new level




On a tip from Ed Kilbane



If this doesn't take the cake...

Somebody Needs to be Held Accountable for my 15 kids

(If video won't load click post title)


Video 1



If she want's to know what's accountable she should look between her legs. Worry not. Barry will be sending this worthless bag of excrement a check in short order. How do you help people who are too stupid to know they're the problem? Her co-conspirator who fathered 10 is in jail. Would it really make any difference if he wasn't? Who are the other 5 with? Does she even know? BTW...What do you think the prospects are for any of these children leading a meaningful and productive life?

This is only one spoke in a giant wheel. Conservatives demand an end to rewarding bad behavior, accepting personal responsibility, and as far as possible, ending welfare. The Liberals retort comes across usually something like this...why punish the children for the sins of the parents?


What's the end result? We are trapped in a vicious cycle, morally wrong for everybody involved, with no end in sight.

Government picks and chooses their own crime stats to advance their agenda.




Allow me to site an example.  Liberals... as in Barry, Feinstein, Bloomberg, among others want a ban on assault rifles. They try to tie them to the Newtown shooting the same way they tried to tie Romney to the death of Joe Soptic's wife. As horrific and tragic as this event was, and realizing this is of no consolation for the families involved, the truth is Adam Lanza never took the rifle from the back seat of the car.



On a tip from Ed Kilbane




This is an objective, homemade video explaining some of the numbers on gun violence in the US and how the media and politicians are ignoring the real numbers and attempting to play on emotions. Violent crime has been declining for many years in the US, and compared to the UK, we have a much lower overall rate.

Top Senate Dems urge Obama to take unilateral action on debt ceiling





Don't be surprised if he doesn't try to take unilateral action on your guns too! I thought his middle initial "H" stood for Hussein. But now it has morphed into  Hugo.

Only in the minds of this asshole administration would we even be discussing a trillion dollar coin. It's worth a trillion dollars? Based on what? Barry says it is?



This is classic Obamanomics. More smoke and mirrors. Like stealing from Medicare to pay for Obamacare. This latest stunt could backfire in his face. Moody's has already threatened a downgrade. Now that Barry has raised taxes on the wealthy, and middle income people who were to stupid to realize it, by raising the debt ceiling and bypassing Congress, a downgrade is almost a certainty. This will put Barry in a new light. One, by circumventing Congress (not the first time) he set in stone his legacy as the new Chavez. Two, he will be the only president in our Nation's history to ever receive a downgrade, not one but two, while they were at the helm. And he will achieved this with less then 5 years in office. What a distinction!

Pretty soon we'll need China to co-sign to buy Barry another vacation.




$10.6 trillion at the time. Now look at it!




And another is on the way!


WASHINGTON – If President Obama were to break the impasse with Republicans over raising the debt limit by taking unilateral action, such a move would have the potential to set off a firestorm of controversy and spark a protracted legal battle.

Top Senate Democrats say, go for it.

The White House has dismissed talk that Obama would rely on unusual measures to raise the nation's debt limit without Congress' approval, but administration officials also have warned that the country could default on its debt and trigger a new economic crisis if lawmakers don't increase the limit on borrowing.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., is among those urging Obama to consider options like invoking the 14th Amendment to the Constitution to find ways around the $16.4 trillion legal cap on government borrowing. The amendment states that the "validity of the public debt of the United States ... shall not be questioned," which some lawmakers believe permits a way out of the debt limit jam.

The government hit the debt limit last month and is juggling the books to buy additional time for Congress to act. But those moves only buy a few weeks of wiggle room, which requires Congress to act -- likely by mid- to late-February -- to avoid a market-quaking default on U.S. obligations.

The White House has said emphatically that it does not believe that the 14th Amendment permits Obama to ignore the debt cap on U.S. borrowing, though it considered the question during the 2011 debt crisis.

"There is no Plan B. There is no backup plan," White House spokesman Jay Carney said Wednesday. "There is no alternative to Congress raising the debt ceiling."

A letter to Obama on Friday from Reid and Sens. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Patty Murray, D-Wash., doesn't mention the 14th Amendment, but aides to the senators said that's what they have in mind in urging the president to consider unilateral action.

"We believe you must be willing to take any lawful steps to ensure that America does not break its promises and trigger a global economic crisis -- without congressional approval, if necessary," the letter said.

Battling House and Senate leaders have made virtually no progress on a strategy for legislation to lift the debt cap. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, insists that any debt increase be matched by equivalent spending cuts. Obama, buoyed by his re-election victory, says he won't negotiate as he did in 2011, when he traded a $2.1 trillion debt increase for tight spending limits on agency budgets and automatic, across-the-board spending cuts if a congressional "supercommittee" failed to reach a budget agreement.

"Senate Democrats cannot ignore their responsibilities for political convenience -- and the American people will not tolerate an increase in the debt limit without spending cuts and reforms," said Boehner spokesman Michael Steel.

The impasse has people on both sides scratching their heads over how it will be resolved. The anxiety is such that some on the left are urging Obama to mint a coin worth perhaps $1 trillion to be deposited at the Federal Reserve and drawn upon to meet government obligations.
