From the age of the Obama and the Thought Czars.&lt;br /&gt;
From a place where a lie becomes truth and then a lie again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color:rgb(221,0,0);font-family:LilyUPC;font-size:20pt;"&gt;From a man in debt... Greetings!!&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&amp;#8217;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-left:1px Solid #000000;border-right:1px Solid #000000;border-bottom:1px Solid #000000;padding-left:5px;padding-right:5px;padding-bottom:5px;padding-top:15px;"&gt;In his book "1984", George Orwell wrote that "Freedom is the Freedom to say 2+2=4". I think what he meant by that was to alter a persons' perception of reality is subjecting them to slavery. Tell a person what to feel and think is like killing a persons' right to choose and how to live ones life. Below are just a couple of examples of how the Obama administration is trying to tell you what to think and how to live.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color:rgb(225,189,12);padding:5px"&gt;--Barrack Obama on a Kansas tornado that killed 12 people&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border:2px Solid rgb(225,189,12);padding:5px;"&gt;On the continued mis-statement of fact that he aske us to believe...it appears we have 'missed' many of the things Obama states as fact--&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&amp;#8220;In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died -- an entire town destroyed.&amp;#8221;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color:rgb(185,185,185);padding:5px"&gt;The jobs that never were&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border:2px Solid rgb(185,185,185);padding:5px;"&gt;All across the 440 congressional districts, &lt;a href="http://www.kdvr.com/news/kdvr-stimulus-folo-111809,0,4486233.story" target="_new"&gt;districts that don't exist&lt;/a&gt;, people are praising Obama for the 30,000 jobs the "Stimulus" has created for their communities. DOUBLE PLUS GOOD!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color:rgb(32,227,32);padding:5px"&gt;"Under the spreading SOCIALIST tree I saw you, you me"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border:2px Solid rgb(32,227,32);padding:5px;"&gt;Why is the Obama administration spending time on Health Care Reform when jobs are being lost by the hundreds of thousands per week. If you do not have a job and are not medically insured the "Public Option" would be your only option, and not having medical insurance under the Obama plan would be against the law! It seems the "Left" wants us to suffer a little than eliminate our right of "choice" starting with Health Care.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://i49.tinypic.com/j0h6xw.jpg"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color:rgb(76,76,21);padding:5px;color:#FFFFFF;"&gt;'Sunlight Before Singing'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border:2px Solid rgb(76,76,21);padding:5px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"When there is a bill that ends up on my desk as the president, you the public will have five days to look online and find out what's in it before I sign it"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although congress hasn't sent a Health Care Reform bill to the president as of yet, the debate on Health Care Reform has been anything but transparent. With over a 1,000 pages you'd think "We The People" would be able to view every debate and decision being made about one of the most important changes made to American life. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During his run for the presidency of the United States Obama promised Americans a complete in-depth C-span coverage on every important policy he and his administration would plan to make. Instead we got the usual political babbling from both parties, close door meetings with backdoor deals being brokered and none bipartisanship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everything was suppose to change once Obama became President of the United States instead we get 10% unemployment and the government take over of the Auto industry, the Banking institutions and the Auto industry. And if the Health Care Reform bill passes in its present form all Americans, and not just the mega rich but all of us, are going to pay more taxes. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They also highlighted a new book by Paul Sperry titled "Muslim Mafia," scheduled for release on Thursday, which claims the group has been actively infiltrating Congress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reps. Sue Myrick of North Carolina, Trent Franks of Arizona, Paul Broun of Georgia and John Shadegg of Arizona asked the Internal Revenue Service to determine whether CAIR deserves its nonprofit status. They also are asking their colleagues to review a summary of findings that led the Justice Department to name CAIR as a co-conspirator in a terrorism case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The internal memo, provided to FOXNews.com, stated that CAIR would "focus on influencing congressmen responsible for policy that directly impacts the American Muslim community."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The memo cited three House committees -- Homeland Security, Intelligence and the Judiciary -- as panels on which lawmakers preside over policy affecting American Muslims.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We will develop national initiatives such as a lobby day and placing Muslim interns in Congressional offices," the memo read.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earlier this year the FBI severed its once-close ties with CAIR as evidence mounted of the group's links to a support network for Hamas, which the U.S. has designated a terrorist organization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It's frightening to think that an organization with clear-cut ties to terrorism could have a hand in influencing policy -- especially national security policy -- within our government," Myrick said. "The investigations that we're asking for are simple, and I'm hopeful that they will bring to light any and all information regarding the goals of CAIR."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Franks called on CAIR to renounce its ties to terrorist groups and state publicly that it does not support Hamas or the Muslim Brotherhood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I take the charges levied against CAIR and laid out in this book very seriously because they affect our national security," Franks said in a statement. "This Congress must be deliberate in taking a strong stance against those groups and organizations that align themselves with terrorists."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We live in a post-9/11 world where the coincidence of nuclear proliferation and Islamic terrorism pose a very dangerous combination and real threat to America's national security," he said. "That is why it is critical, in light of the well supported documents and information, that the U.S. Congress take this issue seriously."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CAIR decried the call as a "racist" and "insidious" attack on Muslims and mocked the allegations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If it wasn't so insidious, it would be laughable," CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper told FOXNews.com. "What are their charges? CAIR seeks political participation of Muslims. I'm shocked."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hooper said the evidence proves only that the group is trying, like every other minority group, to engage Muslims in the political process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Why is it evil when Muslims seek political participation?" he asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the book "Muslim Mafia," a six-month sting appears to link CAIR to an organized crime network made up of more than 100 other Muslim front groups that make up the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood. The book claims the group is bent on destroying Western civilization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hooper said Sperry's efforts only proved the group's good intentions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The guy spied on us for months, stole documents -- and the most they came up with is CAIR seeks to work with policymakers on Capitol Hill?" Hooper said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I see it as a stamp of approval."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6766331275083145052-6657961094742852057?l=politicalboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

This in turn assumes that the majority will be constrained — by an exacting press corps and ultimately an informed electorate — to negotiate in good faith.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    “If these conditions do not hold — if nobody outside Washington is really paying attention to the substance of the bill, if the true costs . . . are buried in phony accounting and understated by a trillion dollars or so — the majority party can begin every negotiation by asking for 100% of what it wants, go on to concede 10%, and then accuse any member of the minority party who fails to support this ‘compromise’ of being ‘obstructionist.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    “For the minority party in such circumstances, ‘bipartisanship’ comes to mean getting chronically steamrolled, although individual senators may enjoy certain political rewards by consistently going along with the majority and hence gaining a reputation for being ‘moderate’ or ‘centrist.’”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Wall Street Journals' Bill McGurn &lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123483096626095659.html"&gt;argued&lt;/a&gt; that the forgotten quote proves that Obama failed by his own standards. While at the same time, a Weekly Standard writer  &lt;a href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2009/02/obama_sometimes_bipartisanship.asp"&gt;says&lt;/a&gt; this shows that Obama thinks that “sometimes ‘bipartisanship’ means steamrolling the minority.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Democrats have the majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate and getting things done should be a breeze but "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Dog_Coalition"&gt;Blue-dog Democrats&lt;/a&gt;" have been vary wary of the "Far-lefts" attempt to direct the country towards a socialist America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, bringing the Republican to the table for 'ideas' on their vision for the future of America would be counter productive in the eyes the of the far-left of the Democratic party.... Why try to be bipartisan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new era of "Elephants and Donkeys" living together in harmony was Obama's idea not the Democratic party's. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Case in point: Nancy Pelosi called town-hall-meetings havens of &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;ct=res&amp;cd=1&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FNazism&amp;ei=s9V7SoS5FJGssgODsYjvCg&amp;usg=AFQjCNEdSprQ72AcJ7DBYw2nySjr_67fbg&amp;sig2=6jJh7MPEKFk1uHj9CZslGg"&gt;Nazism&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dGRUx2b0ArM&amp;color1=0x6699&amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dGRUx2b0ArM&amp;color1=0x6699&amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6766331275083145052-5502189909448568059?l=politicalboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

"She said she was never told that such techniques were actually being used."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She continued to say that- "Members who receive intelligence briefings are tied down by secrecy rules. 'The point is they come in to inform you of what they are doing. ... What recourse do we have? None,' she said, noting that members cannot discuss the contents of confidential briefings with other lawmakers, even the members of the &lt;a href=""&gt;Intelligence committees&lt;/a&gt;."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But According to &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;ct=res&amp;cd=1&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.msnbc.msn.com%2F&amp;ei=T6X1SYb2M5q4tgPYofHtCg&amp;usg=AFQjCNGXDC_68oyFlJNDNW3sSnkPdRbwTg&amp;sig2=AtaNIgnFo1eqDLFpD_h3Mg"&gt;MSNBC&lt;/a&gt; Nancy Pelosi knew more than she is willing to admit and for a while now:    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="background:#F0F4F1;color:#685846;padding-left:10px;padding-bottom:20px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    In September 2002, four members of Congress met in secret for a first look at a unique CIA program designed to wring vital information from reticent terrorism suspects in U.S. custody. For more than an hour, the bipartisan group, which included current House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), was given a virtual tour of the CIA's overseas detention sites and the harsh techniques interrogators had devised to try to make their prisoners talk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Among the techniques described, said two officials present, was waterboarding, a practice that years later would be condemned as torture by Democrats and some Republicans on Capitol Hill. But on that day, no objections were raised. Instead, at least two lawmakers in the room asked the CIA to push harder, two U.S. officials said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    "The briefer was specifically asked if the methods were tough enough," said a U.S. official who witnessed the exchange. ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Yet long before "waterboarding" entered the public discourse, the CIA gave key legislative overseers about 30 private briefings, some of which included descriptions of that technique and other harsh interrogation methods, according to interviews with multiple U.S. officials with firsthand knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    With one known exception, no formal objections were raised by the lawmakers briefed about the harsh methods during the two years in which waterboarding was employed, from 2002 to 2003, said Democrats and Republicans with direct knowledge of the matter. The lawmakers who held oversight roles during the period included Pelosi and Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.) and Sens. Bob Graham (D-Fla.) and John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.), as well as Rep. Porter J. Goss (R-Fla.) and Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan). ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Only after information about the practice began to leak in news accounts in 2005 -- by which time the CIA had already abandoned waterboarding -- did doubts about its legality among individual lawmakers evolve into more widespread dissent. The opposition reached a boiling point this past October, when Democratic lawmakers condemned the practice during Michael B. Mukasey's confirmation hearings for attorney general.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Pelosi declined to comment directly on her reaction to the classified briefings. But a congressional source familiar with Pelosi's position on the matter said the California lawmaker did recall discussions about enhanced interrogation. The source said Pelosi recalls that techniques described by the CIA were still in the planning stage -- they had been designed and cleared with agency lawyers but not yet put in practice -- and acknowledged that Pelosi did not raise objections at the time. ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Harman, who replaced Pelosi as the committee's top Democrat in January 2003, disclosed Friday that she filed a classified letter to the CIA in February of that year as an official protest about the interrogation program. Harman said she had been prevented from publicly discussing the letter or the CIA's program because of strict rules of secrecy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you think that past Administrations' deeds are more important that the problems with our economy?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6766331275083145052-6468996608973402146?l=politicalboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

John Cornyn (Tex.), chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, and a Washington Post opinion piece by House  Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio), also accusing the White House of cynicism, underscore the GOP's attempt to make President Obama pay a political price for the rhetorical assault on Limbaugh. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asked at a briefing Wednesday whether it was "hypocritical" for him to go after the talk radio host and criticize cable commentators, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said he would "plead guilty" to being "counterproductive." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Limbaugh said this week that White House officials are "targeting" him because "they need a demon to distract and divert from what their agenda is." He said Obama aides are "going after private citizens" in a manner reminiscent of &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;ct=res&amp;cd=7&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FNixon%2527s_Enemies_List&amp;ei=jgexScqZO5m0sQOe152FAQ&amp;usg=AFQjCNGy5KJEBTlMhFkGlcUclvByxcExJA&amp;sig2=-S9rRq49q8qZpKwPbpvrkg"&gt;Richard M. Nixon's "enemies list&lt;/a&gt;." He also challenged the president to a debate on his show.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The media have feasted on the story since Limbaugh told a conservative conference Saturday that he wants Obama to fail because he opposes the president's big-government policies. The next day, Obama's chief of staff, &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;ct=res&amp;cd=1&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FRahm_Emanuel&amp;ei=5QexSdvcEZm0sQOg152FAQ&amp;usg=AFQjCNHtKYN77pD_Xd8ZAyef4v80Ue1muA&amp;sig2=5xHN_H66fAMIhhaQq3FP6g"&gt;Rahm Emanuel&lt;/a&gt;, told CBS that Limbaugh is "the voice and the intellectual force and energy behind the Republican Party."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;While some Republicans have distanced themselves from Limbaugh's rhetoric, others, such as Rep.  Mike Pence (Ind.), chairman of the House Republican Conference, said they agree with the radio host's denunciation of Obama's policies. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not to be outdone, the &lt;a href=""&gt;Democratic National Committee&lt;/a&gt; has created a Web site to solicit slogans for an anti-Limbaugh billboard to be erected in his home town of West Palm Beach, Fla.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6766331275083145052-6861655323888835960?l=politicalboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Pelosi, however, was not afforded that customary photo by the Vatican.  The Associated Press reports that "the Vatican said it was not issuing a photo of the meeting -- as it usually does when the pope meets world leaders -- saying the encounter was private."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Pelosi issued a press release on the 15-minute meeting with the Pope.  "It is with great joy that my husband, Paul, and I met with his Holiness, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Benedict_XVI"&gt;Pope Benedict XVI&lt;/a&gt; today," she said.  "In our conversation, I had the opportunity to praise the Church's leadership in fighting poverty, hunger, and global warming, as well as the Holy Father's dedication to religious freedom and his upcoming trip and message to &lt;a href=""&gt;Israel&lt;/a&gt;."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;However the statements the Vatican released  made no mention of the comments that Pelosi stressed in her release.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;As for Nancy Pelosi's positive spin on the meeting, not even most left-leaning Papal watchers are taking the bait.  John Allen, a Vatican’s correspondent who  writes for the National Catholic Reporter, noted that "routine Vatican declarations after diplomatic meetings also generally sum up the range of issues discussed rather than concentrating on a particular point. In that sense, the statement can only be read as a rejection of Pelosi's statements last summer, and, in general, of her argument that it's acceptable for Catholics in public life to take a &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;ct=res&amp;cd=3&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FPro-choice&amp;ei=RtmwSYW3NonKtQPqvLnVAQ&amp;usg=AFQjCNEyiSSK40QL0KvtD5UR-JlvuNjqSw&amp;sig2=n745yr67zyeSfOvkAfg05g"&gt;pro-choice position&lt;/a&gt;."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Many pro-life organizations from the US and Canada expressed their serious about how Mrs. Pelosi was going to be received by the Holy Father. A comprehensive memoranda was sent to sent to different Vatican authorities by some of these organizations.  This memoranda detailed the anti-life statements and the pro-death voting record of Mrs. Pelosi. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Some back in &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;ct=res&amp;cd=2&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FRome&amp;ei=Y9mwScyjNYGStQPNnPCHAQ&amp;usg=AFQjCNERFBcKq80ovJ3YGi6rxDyb34Y17g&amp;sig2=MHB85siTg6-DXlM75M-EDw"&gt;Rome&lt;/a&gt; feel that the Pope by issuing his latest statement is ready to stand up with courage to politicians that claim they are Catholics but their voting record denies those hypocritical assertions.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6766331275083145052-8389010274451256094?l=politicalboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
