80 Times Obama Broke Laws, Violated Treaties, Lied Through His Teeth, and Shredded the Constitution

It is no secret we were never a fan of Obama. His legacy is nothing but an empty suit, his domestic policies were often either effective, illegal, or vindictive. His foreign policy included no historic breakthroughs and usually made world conditions worse rather than better. Through it all, he was pompous, narcissistic, and vain. He lied so many times that it gets tiring documenting the many, many lies and topics that he lied about.

But being pompous and vain does not make him a criminal no matter how irritating it was. But there were enough examples of criminal behavior that we documented dozens of them in the following post:

https://loathemygovernment.blogspot.com/2016/11/retro-2-obama-presidency-end-of-error.html

As Democrats and liberals start going berserk with their empty threats and irrational craving to impeach Trump with little or no evidence of any impeachable offenses, so far at least, we thought it would be a good idea to call out these people, all of whom are hypocrites. When Obama actually committed any impeachable and criminal offenses, they were silent. Now, because they find Trump crude or because he destroyed the desire to have Queen Hillary elected, they now get all law and order-ish.

Which brings us to an online article from 2017 that appeared on the Outline website, “Criminal In Chief” — 78 Times President Obama Broke The Law During Presidency.”" Now, in reading the article, the headline is a little misleading. These are not 78 times that Obama actually broke the law, it includes times that Obama broke laws and treaties but it also include the many, many lies and deceptions that Obama put forth while in office. [Note: there are actually 80 times, not sure where the author got 78 from since there are 80 instances in the article.]

While these lies are probably not impeachable offenses, I include them below just to show the hypocritical current day Democrats and liberals what fakes they are: if they did not complain when Obama actually committed the following crimes and lies, please be quiet with your complaints with Trump: 

1) Obama’s Fast and Furious operation provided thousands of military grade weapons to Mexican drug cartels in a hackneyed attempt to track the guns to the actual cartel locations. These weapons ended up killing dozens of Mexican citizens and at least one U.S.Border Patrol agent. This operation violated Federal laws and probably international laws and treaties regarding gun running.

According to the New York Post: “The Department of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives apparently ordered one of its own agents to purchase firearms with taxpayer money, and sell them directly to a Mexican drug cartel. Let that sink in: After months of pretending that ‘Fast and Furious’ was a botched surveillance operation of illegal gun-running spearheaded by the ATF and the US attorney’s office in Phoenix, it turns out that the government itself was selling guns to the bad guys.”

2) Not learning from the Fast and Furious disaster, Obama also authorized a shipment of weapons to the Syrian opposition that probably ended up in the hands of ISIS, the most ruthless terror organization of all time.

3) Obama tried to shut down legally operating gun stores without an legal basis by pressuring banks to illegally refuse to service the banking needs of gun stores via Operation Choke Point.

4) Obama spent tax dollars to re-settle illegal immigrants inside U.S. after he ordered the Border Patrol to stand down and stop protecting the border and enforcing existing immigration laws and procedures.

5) Obama used executive orders to restrict Second Amendment and the legal access to guns by ordinary Americans outside of current laws that Congress had passed.

6) Obama weaponized the IRS to illegally restrict conservative groups from getting proper and prompt tax status decisions form the IRS which curtailed the First Amendment rights and political actions of untold numbers of Americans. Groups with the words “tea party” or “patriot” in their names were targeted for harassment, such as requiring them to provide information about their family members, their social media posts and a list of donors.

According to the DailyCaller: “The Obama appointee implicated in congressional testimony in the IRS targeting scandal met with President Obama in the White House two days before offering his colleagues a new set of advice on how to scrutinize tea party and conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status.”

7) Obama secretly and illegally obtained the phone records of Associated Press journalists, an action certainly dinging the First Amendment: “The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press in what the news cooperative’s top executive called a “massive and unprecedented intrusion” into how news organizations gather the news.”

8) Obama carried out military operations against a sovereign nation, Libya, without Congressional or Constitutional permission.

9) Obama expanded Bush’s un-Constitutional government faith-based programs.

10) Obama renewed the un-Constitutional and freedom sapping Patriot Act in 2011.

11) Obama continued Bush’s un-Constitutional process of indefinite detention of Americans without due process in the fight against terrorism.

12) Obama supported and practiced warrantless wiretapping, a gross violation of the Fourth Amendment.

13) Obama ordered the killing of U.S. citizens without due process of law, basically allowing the government to maintain a hit list of Americans it does not like.

14) Obama ordered a private company to fire 1,000 employees when Boeing tried to move some of its operations to South Carolina into a non-union factory.

15) During the Chrysler bankruptcy proceedings, Obama violated the Fifth Amendment and over 150 years of bankruptcy law by illegally treating secured creditors worse than unsecured creditors: “Upsetting this fixed hierarchy among creditors is just an illegal taking of property from one group of creditors for the benefit of another, which should be struck down on both statutory and constitutional grounds,” according to Richard A. Epstein, a law professor at New York University School of Law.

16) Obama fired an Inspector General, Gerald Walpin, after Walpin accused Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson, an Obama supporter, of misusing AmeriCorps funding to pay for political activities.

17) Obama lied dozens and dozens of times when he insisted that Americans could keep their current health insurance policy under the Obama Care legislation, a fallacy from day one: “No matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise to the American people… If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what.”

18) Obama lied dozens and dozens of time when he insisted that Americans could keep their current doctors under the Obama Care legislation, a fallacy from day one.

19) Obama lied about the cost of Obama Care when he said: “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits – either now or in the future. I will not sign it if it adds one dime to the deficit, now or in the future, period. And to prove that I’m serious, there will be a provision in this plan that requires us to come forward with more spending cuts if the savings we promised don’t materialize.”

Numerous sources, including the Congressional Budget Office, found that this was so far from the truth as to be ludicrous.

20) Obama funneled untold billions of dollars to major liberals, Democrats, and campaign donors under the guise of “green energy” but zero return on those taxpayer dollars since most, if not all, of these corny business like Solyndra and others went bankrupt with no societal benefits.

21) Obama had hundreds of meetings with lobbyists, according to the New York Times, even though those meetings were held in non-government facilities in order to sidestep legal disclosure requirements of White House visitors such as….lobbyists.

22) Obama had Federal SWAT agents violently raid a law abiding guitar factory, Gibson Guitar, because it was owned by a Republican donor. Martin Guitar company was never raided or hassled by the Obama administration, likely because that company’s owner was a Democrat donor.

23) Obama bypassed Constitutional requirements by appointing “czars” to operate government functions, avoiding the Congressional approval process of the Constitution.

24) Obama tried to destroy family farms by trying to make it illegal for family farm children from working in various farming activities despite over two hundred years of family kids doing just that without significant problems.

25) Obama gave the U.S. ambassador position to Timothy Boras AFTER Boras donated half a million dollars to Obama’s reelection campaign.

26) Obama gave even more power to the disreputable TSA including the pat-downs of young children.

27) Obama illegally demanded excessive monetary payment for Freedom of Information Act requests which was in direct conflict with the actual law itself.

28) Obama eliminated the pensions of 20,000 Delphi employees in 2009 without due process.

29) Obama was accused of using the same budget tactics that Bush used to finance military operations outside of normal budget and Congressional approval processes.

30) Obama ordered Ford to stop criticizing oBama’s bailouts of General Motors and Chrysler in Ford’s advertising, abusing Ford’s First Amendment rights.

31) Obama asked a Jewish singing group to take down is YouTube video in 2011, a violation of the group’s First Amendment rights.

32) Obama illegally gave Obama Care exemptions and waivers to unions which supported the enactment of the Obama Care legislation as reward: “The now-familiar monthly trickling down of new waivers is, at best, a tacit admission that Obama Care is a failure. So far, seven entire states and 1,372 businesses, unions and other institutions have received waivers from the law. The list includes the administration’s friends and allies and, of course, those who have the best lobbyists. More than 50 percent of the Obamacare waiver beneficiaries are union members, which is striking because union members account for less than 12 percent of the American workforce.” 

33) Obama hated that the Supreme Court ruled against a Bush administration desire to be able to install a GPS tracking device on someone’s car without a warrant.

34) Attorney Generals from nine states listed out 21 illegal acts that the Obama administration had undertaken.

35) Obama illegally tried to seize a mom and pop hotel because some of the guests had used illegal drugs, a violation of the Fourth Amendment.

36) Obama illegally made four Congressional recess appointments that were later overturned and deemed un-Constitutional.

37) Obama signed a law in 2013 that provided armed guards for himself and his wife for the rest of their lives while continuing to try and disarm Americans and their Second Amendment rights.

38) Obama gave 20 F-16 fighter jets at taxpayer expense to the country of Egypt when it was under a Muslim Brotherhood dictatorship.

39) Obama’s 2012 campaign organization was fined $375,000 by the Federal Election Commission for violating campaign finance laws.

40) His Obama Care legislation encouraged employers to switch their employees from full time to part time to avoid the onerous costs of the Obama Care legislation: Leaders of the Teamsters, UFCW, and UNITE-HERE penned a 2013 letter to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi stating that Obamacare will “destroy the foundation of the 40 hour work week that is the backbone of the American middle class… the law creates an incentive for employers to keep employees’ work hours below 30 hours a week. Numerous employers have begun to cut workers’ hours to avoid this obligation.”

41) Obama had a Freedom of Information Act compliance record far worse than any of his predecessors.

42) Obama’s Justice Department argued in favor of placing hidden camera on private property without a search warrant in violation of the Fourth Amendment.

43) Obama accepted illegal campaign contributions from foreign citizens in 2012.

44) Obama lied to the country and the world about the Benghazi terrorist act, falsely claiming the attack was the result of a spontaneous protest against an obscure YouTube video while all along he knew it was a pre-planned hostile, and vicious terrorist attack.

45) Obama’s administration complained to YouTube about an anti-Muslim video, a violation of the First Amendment: “It does make us nervous when the government throws its weight behind any requests for censorship,” Ben Wizner of the ACLU said.

46) Obama falsely claimed that the Fast and Furious disaster actually started under the Bush administration which was a lie and even if true, did not make it right that Obama continued the program on his watch.

47) Obama illegally refused to fire Cabinet member Kathleen Sebelius after she violated campaign finance laws even though Federal law clearly states that she should have been fired.

48) Obama gave special access to himself if someone raised or donated at least $500,000 to a pro-Obama group, access that included attending quarterly meetings with Obama and other meetings at the White House.

49) Obama implemented harmful regulations and restrictions on prescription painkillers even though he had no authority to do so and the House had already voted against such restrictions.

50) Obama illegally missed the deadline for submitting a Federal budget at least four times during his term in office.

51) Obama fined UPS $40 million for not being able to detect when its customers shipped illegal drugs via their service.

52) Obama added 20,000 extra pages to the Obama Care legislation via regulations even though Congress ad no chance to vote on anything in those 20,000 pages.

53) Obama delayed the release and publication of unpopular Obama Care regulations until after his reelection, because, as reported by the New York Times in 2013: “… even fervent supporters of the law admit that things are going worse than expected.… the Obama administration didn’t want to release unpopular rules before the election...A law that was very confusing has become mind-boggling… Americans are just going to be overwhelmed and befuddled. Many are just going to stay away, even if they are eligible for benefits."

54) Obama tied to rig the auctions for radio spectrum space for cell phone providers to give an unfair and illegal edge to Sprint and T-Mobile.

55) Obama put a person in jail for simply making an anti-Muslim video, denying him his First Amendment rights, as reported by Politico: “Nakoula Basseley Nakoula deserves a place in American history. He is the first person in this country jailed for violating Islamic anti-blasphemy laws. You won’t find that anywhere in the charges against him, of course. As a practical matter, though, everyone knows that Nakoula wouldn’t be in jail today if he hadn’t produced a video crudely lampooning the prophet Muhammad.”

56) Obama named Bruce Heyman to be the U.S. ambassador to Canada for raising more than $1 million for Obama’s reelection campaign.

57) Obama asked businesses to disclose their political donations before being allowed to bid on government contracts, violating those businesses’ First Amendment rights.

58) Obama falsely accused a law abiding Fox reporter, James Rosen, of being “an aider and abettor and/or co-conspirator as it related to a criminal investigation, doing so without any proof of such behavior," as reported by the New York Times: “With the decision to label a Fox News television reporter a possible “co-conspirator” in a criminal investigation of a news leak, the Obama administration has moved beyond protecting government secrets to threatening fundamental freedoms of the press to gather news.” The Washington Post also chimed in: “The Rosen affair is as flagrant an assault on civil liberties as anything done by George W. Bush’s administration, and it uses technology to silence critics in a way Richard Nixon could only have dreamed of.”

59) Obama asked Eric Holder to investigate himself, Eric Holder, when it became apparent that Holder had lied under oath relative to the Rosen case.

60) Obama illegally allowed IRS to have additional powers under Obama Care, powers no authorized by Congress, according to the Washington Post: “[Obamacare] allows the Department of Health and Human Services to set up federal health exchanges in the holdout states. But the statute makes no mention of the IRS providing credits and subsidies through federal exchanges. The IRS resolved this conundrum by denying its existence. In a May 2012 regulatory ruling, it asserted its own right to provide credits outside the state exchanges as the reasonable interpretation of an ambiguous law. But the language of the law is not ambiguous. And health scholars Jonathan Adler and Michael Cannon, in an exhaustive recent analysis, find no justification for the IRS’s ruling in the legislative history of Obamacare….”

61) A member of Obama’s Cabinet, Kathleen Sebelius, illegally solicited campaign donations from health insurers to fund Obama Care.

62) Obama illegally proposed military intervention to topple a foreign government, Syria, in 2013.

63) Obama refused to fire or prosecute over 1,000 IRS employees who illegally and improperly used their taxpayer funded credit cards for personal use.

64) Obama had the Secret Service pay a visit to a law abiding citizen, Tom Francois, who had criticized Obama on Twitter, violating that person’s First Amendment rights.

65) Obama had the IRS grant special, illegal favors to his brother’s uncharted and unapproved charity.

66) Obama illegally delayed Obama Care’s employer mandate without Congressional approval.

67) Obama illegally forced 2,200 privately owned auto dealerships to close, causing 120,000 Americans to lose their jobs.

68) Obama failed to punish those in the IRS that allowed 24,000 tax refund checks, totalling more than $46 million, to be mailed to illegal immigrants, all who “lived” at the same address in Atlanta, Georgia.

69) Obama used taxpayer money to pay Federal workers to organize protesters against George Zimmerman in 2012, a private citizen.

70) Obama illegally continued foreign aid to Egypt after it suffered a military coup, an action forbidden by Federal law.

71) Obama lied when he falsely claimed he would end the surveillance of private U.S. citizens, a practice started during the Bush administration.

72) Obama illegally seized the privately owned gun from a law abiding citizen, a violation of the Second Amendment.

73) Obama illegally prevented employees of small businesses from selecting their own health insurance plan during the first year of Obama Care.

74) Obama illegally avoided enforcing the required income verification aspect of people receiving Federal subsidies for Obama Care exchange policies.

75) Obama illegally delayed the caps on out of pocket health care payments without Congressional approval.

76) Obama failed to fire National Intelligence Director James Clapper even though Clapper lied under oath before Congress when he falsely said the NSA was not collecting information on Americans’ communications activities.

77) Obama nominated a telecommunications lobbyist and Obama fundraiser to head up the FCC, Tom Wheeler.

78) Obama tried to violate Americans; rights to a fair trial, as reported by Reuters: “A secretive U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration unit is funneling information from intelligence intercepts, wiretaps, informants and a massive database of telephone records to authorities across the nation to help them launch criminal investigations of Americans. Although these cases rarely involve national security issues, documents reviewed by Reuters show that law enforcement agents have been directed to conceal how such investigations truly begin – not only from defense lawyers but also sometimes from prosecutors and judges. The undated documents show that federal agents are trained to “recreate” the investigative trail to effectively cover up where the information originated, a practice that some experts say violates a defendant’s Constitutional right to a fair trial. If defendants don’t know how an investigation began, they cannot know to ask to review potential sources of exculpatory evidence – information that could reveal entrapment, mistakes or biased witnesses.”

79) Obama threatened Internet Service Providers with contempt of court if they did not install illegal surveillance software in their programs in order facilitate warrantless government surveillance.

80) Obama falsely promised that Obama Care premiums could down up to $2,500 a year for an American family, something that never came close to happening for any American Family.

Not included in the original list of 80 law violations and lies was the recent disclosure that Obama not only illegally and secretly gave the Iranians a $400 million bribe to get their approval of a terrible nuclear arms treaty but the Iranians have now confirmed that Obama illegally gave them an additional $1.3 billion besides the original illegal $400 million cash payment.

May, 2019, Part 6, Political Class Insanity: A Delusional and Hypocritical Hillary Clinton, A Disgusting Alabama Politician, and A Review of Obama's Lawbreaking

It is another month which means it is again time to review the latest political class insanity from Washington and around the world. Political class insanity takes many forms including the wasting of taxpayer wealth, criminal fraud within government programs, inane and stupid political quotes and actions, the inability to create and implement effective and efficient government programs, stupid and ill performing economic policies and strategies, and other forms of insanity that continue to evolve and surprise and shock us.

Let’s get started:

1) Let’s review some likely law breaking of Hillary Clinton:

• She used an unsecured email server to illegally transmit top secret government documents.
• She sold out the security interests of the country in the Uranium One deal with Russia in exchange for rich speaking fees for her husband from Russian government interests.
• She tried to launder money donations from foreign government interests to the Clinton Foundation via Canadian financial transactions in violation of IRS rules and laws.
• She destroyed emails, computers, and cellphones to avoid Congress and government investigators from finding out what laws she violated.
• She allowed hundreds of thousands of sensitive government documents to end up on the unsecured laptop computer of a known sexual predator, former Congressman Anthony Weiner.
• She may have used Clinton Foundation charity money for personal use, e.g. her daughter’s wedding.

You get the idea, it is highly likely that she violated many, many laws over the years, abusing the power she wielded as Secretary of State to enrich herself and family.

But according to a recent article on the Freedom Outpost website, Hillary somehow insanely does not see it that way, in her mind Trump is the real lawbreaker. In a recent public appearance she accused Trump of abusing the rule of law in this country. Specifically: “We’ll see whether it’s the rule of law or the rule of Trump that the Republicans in the Congress and in the courts are going to abide by. We are at a crisis point and I say that with great sadness.”

This idiocy and hypocrisy comes forth in light of the ongoing feud between Attorney General William Barr and the headhunting Democrats in Congress who are desperate to finding a reason, any reason, to impeach Trump. And not only is Clinton being so hypocritical accusing Trump of violating the rule of law in this single instance while she likely violated multiple laws multiple times, she remained of silent while serving on Obama’s cabinet and Obama was breaking the rule of law and abusing the Bill of Right and the Constitution dozens of times:

• Obama led the United States into a major military action against the country of Libya, spending well over a billion dollars of taxpayer wealth and placing our armed forces in danger without the approval of Congress, violating the War Powers Act and Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution.
• Obama refused to fire James Clapper, a high ranking member of the President’s national security team after Clapper lied to Congress about how much electronic information the National Security Agency (NSA) was collecting on every American citizen, becoming an accessory after the fact in Clapper's lying to Congress.
• Obama signed the latest NDAA legislation whose sections 1021 and 1022 allow for the indefinite detention of American citizens, without trial, who the government considers terrorist suspects until the vague “end of hostilities,” which violates the habeas corpus protection of American citizens under Article I Section 9 of the Constitution.
• Obama personally signed off on the assassination of American citizens in foreign lands, e.g. the killing of American citizen Anwar al-Awlaki via a drone attack in Yemen, denying him and other citizens a fair trial by their peers, negating the rights, and lives, of al-Awlaki and at least three other American citizens, violating their right “to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” the Fourth Amendment, and the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution.
• Obama has repeatedly and in varied ways denied members of our armed forces of their right to personally celebrate, follow, and take comfort in their personal Christian religion and faith, violating the First Amendment to the Constitution.
• Obama’s administration’s development and deployment of the Fast and Furious gun running operation to supply weapons to violent Mexican drug cartels has violated any number of laws including, the illegal shipment of weapons to criminal organizations, violations of international treaties regarding illegal gun smuggling, abetting the violence of those cartels who used Fast and Furious weapons to kill innocent Mexican civilians and a U.S. border agent, Brian Terry, and denying Congress and Congressional investigators access to pertinent Fast and Furious executive branch documents needed to investigate the alleged transgressions by claiming executive privilege. 
• Obama unilaterally delayed the small business (SHOP) mandates from his own Obama Care legislation, without Congressional approval, violating Article II, Sections 3 and 4 of the Constitution.
• Obama unilaterally delayed the employer mandates, without Congressional approval, from his own Obama Care legislation without Congressional, violating Article II, Sections 3 and 4 of the Constitution.
• Obama allowed so-called "sanctuary cities" to illegally protect illegal immigrants from arrest and deportation, in defiance of existing Federal laws, violating Article II, Sections 3 and 4 of the Constitution.
• Obama unilaterally decided, without Congressional approval, that Obama Care enrollees in states using only the Federal health care exchange, i.e. those states that did not set up their own Obama Care exchange, would also be eligible for Obama Care subsidies, violating his own Obama Care legislation and violating Article II, Sections 3 and 4 of the Constitution.
• Obama unilaterally decided, without Congressional approval, that those personal insurance policies that insurance companies had to legally terminate as a result of Obama Care could indeed stay in effect, violating Article II, Sections 3 and 4 of the Constitution.
• Obama unilaterally decided, without Congressional approval, to change out many more tenets and deadlines of the Obama Care legislation (e.g. delaying the caps on out of pocket medical expenses, waiving the income proof requirement for subsidies, waiving the criminal background checks on Obama Care navigators, etc.), violating Article II, Sections 3 and 4 of the Constitution.
• Obama’s administration has hassled, spied on, harassed, and threatened a multitude of journalists including, but not likely limited to, Bob Woodward, Lanny Davis, Fox News employees James Rosen and Mike Levine, Sheryl Atkinson, Audrey Hudson (whose home was ransacked by Department of Homeland Security armed personnel who confiscated her journalistic files despite serving a court order that was restricted to only looking for guns), Associated Press reporters, and others, violating their First Amendment rights.
• When the Egyptian military staged a coup and overturned a democratically elected government, Obama refused to cut off aid to that military ruling junta as required by U.S. law, violating Article II, Sections 3 and 4 of the Constitution.
• Obama’s administration allowed lucrative taxpayer funded financial credits to Congressional members and their staffs to pay for Obama Care policies in violation of the Obama Care legislation, violating Article II, Sections 3 and 4 of the Constitution.
• His Obama Care legislation forced individuals, companies, and charities to violate their own religious beliefs relative to contraception and birth control, violating those citizens’ and organizations’ First Amendment rights.
• Obama illegally made government appointments to high level government positions while the Senate was still in session, violating Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution.
• Obama ignored the ruling of a Federal judge in Louisiana regarding the administration’s illegal moratorium on Gulf oil drilling, resulting in the following stinging rebuke from the judge: “Each step the government took following the court’s imposition of a preliminary injunction showcases its defiance, Such dismissive conduct, viewed in tandem with the re-imposition of a second blanket and substantively identical moratorium, and in light of the national importance of this case, provide this court with clear and convincing evidence of the government’s contempt.”
• Obama's administration’s unparalleled invasion of citizens’ privacy via the warrantless and groundless interception and storage of just about every citizens’ electronic and other communications via the National Security agency and other government entities is a gross violation and insult to every citizens’ First and Fourth Amendment rights.
• Obama unilaterally decided not to enforce the DOMA law, without Congressional approval, violating Article II, Sections 3 and 4 of the Constitution.
• Obama illegally violated immigration laws by forbidding the deportation of illegal aliens, without the approval of Congress, violating Article II, Sections 3 and 4 of the Constitution.
• Obama’s administration illegally used the IRS to harass and minimize the impact and activities of conservative and other contrary political action organizations, violating those citizens’ First Amendment rights.
• Obama illegally created a “shadow government” by establishing a so-call “czar” system in order to bypass the Constitutionally required Congressional approvals of high ranking government positions, violating Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution. 
• Obama's administration violated existing laws by failing to produce a Federal budget proposal on time in four of the first five years of this administration, violating Article II, Sections 3 and 4 of the Constitution.
• Obama’s administration illegally demanded monetary kickbacks (often exuberant kickbacks) from American organizations requesting government documents under the Freedom of Information Act, (FOIA), requests that by law have to be provided for free or for a very small processing cost, violating Article II, Sections 3 and 4 of the Constitution.
• Obama’s administration demanded that the Ford Motor company stop showing a Ford television commercial that mentioned that its competitors, General Motors and Chrysler, had received Federal bailout money, a violation of the company’s First Amendment rights.
• Obama’s administration coldly ignored the request for military help, help that was readily available, when the U.S. Benghazi consulate and nearby adjacent annex were under siege by terrorists, a siege that endangered the lives of about 24 American citizens and resulted in the unnecessary death of four of those brave citizens violating their pursuit of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
• Obama’s administration illegally used resources of the Federal government to inhibit and harass companies (e.g. Gibson Guitar, Boeing’s planned move of jobs to South Carolina, etc.) whose political agenda did not line up with the President’s political agenda, abusing the power of his office and the executive branch for political gain, violating Section 2, Articles 3 and 4 of the Constitution.
• Obama’s administration intentionally violated the WARN act by telling companies to not announce layoffs that were in compliance with the WARN Act prior to the 2012 Presidential election, promising to pay any fines incurred in the future with taxpayer money that those companies may incur as a result of violating the WARN as requested by the Obama administration.
• Obama refused to fire Eric Holder, the Attorney General of the United States, after Holder testified before Congress that he was unaware that the Justice Department was harassing journalist James Rosen even though Holder had signed off on the harassing investigation, becoming an accessory after the fact of the crime.
• Obama’s administration directly harassed and pressured insurance companies and insurance company executives not to publish or discuss the very disappointing number of people that had signed up for Obama Care insurance policies, violating their First Amendment rights.
• Obama’s administration asked and/or forced contractors to disclose their political contributions before being allowed to bid on Federal contracts and projects, violating those contractors’ First Amendment rights.
• Obama failed to fire Kathleen Sebelius after she violated the Hatch Law when she campaigned/endorsed a Democrat for office in North Carolina, becoming an accessory after the fact after the fact of the crime.
• Obama allegedly told the EPA to unilaterally set emissions standards and bypass Congress, violating Article II, Sections 3 and 4 of the Constitution.
• Obama’s destruction of citizens’ privacy via the massive and illegal spying of the National Security Agency and other government entities destroys the underpinnings of the Roe Vs. Wade Supreme Court ruling which was based on the principle of privacy. If this concept of privacy is destroyed by NSA and other government spying, i.e. if there is no privacy now in this country given that the government spies on every citizens’ electronic and other forms of communication, there is no right to an abortion in this country.
• Obama’s administration violated the Federal Information Security Information Act (FISMA) by giving the Obama Care information systems infrastructure “authority to operate” even though it failed the required FISMA’s security control assessment.
• According to a Federal judge’s ruling, Obama’s administration illegally tried to avoid disclosure of a foreign aid directive.
• Obama allowed multiple high ranking members of his administration to use multiple false email accounts in violation of Federal sunshine laws and regulations.
• Obama’s administration illegally intruded into the General Motors bankruptcy proceedings to illegally rob General Motors bondholders of their due while protecting his politically friendly union interests.
• Obama’s administration violated the Solyndra loan agreement and illegally moved an Obama financial political backer ahead of the Federal government and American taxpayer in the Solyndra bankruptcy proceedings, resulting in the American taxpayer getting less out of those proceedings than legally permissible.

And Hillary goes nuts on Trump for a single disagreement on the rule of law and remained silent when Obama was shredding the Constitution as the dozens of above examples show. Hypocrite and still a very sore and childish loser.

2) The following topic is not meant to open a debate on the pros and cons of abortion. It is meant to point out how callous, soulless, and despicable certain politicians can be when discussing this topic.

The state of Alabama was recently debating a piece of legislation as it relates to abortion, the intent of which is immaterial to this discussion. When speaking in opposition to the proposed legislation, Democratic representative John Rogers stated that, ”Some kids are unwanted, so you kill them now or you kill them later. You bring them in the world unwanted, unloved, you send them to the electric chair. So, you kill them now or you kill them later.” 

This is the first time I have ever observed a politician actually equate abortion to justifiable homicide. His assumption base is disgusting:

• He assumes that all unwanted kids will grow up to be hardened criminals that society will have to kill at some time in the future so why not kill them early on and save the later hassles?
• He assumes that there are no adults or families out there that would adopt an unwanted child, whatever the reason for that child being unwanted.
• He assumes it is okay to kill an unwanted human soul but I would bet there are laws in Alabama, like there are in other places, that would prosecute him if he took an unwanted puppy or kitten to the nearest lake and drowned them but in his mind it is okay to kill an unwanted baby.

Like I said before, one soulless individual. I believe that he is the same person that said the world would be better off if Donald Trump, Jr. had been aborted before birth. This is how far adult political debate has disappeared in this country, using the very serious topic of abortion to try and gain cheap political points against a political opponent. This is more than insane, this is disgusting rhetoric from a disgusting human being who also happens to be a disgusting politician.

That will do it for today: a disgusting and despicable politician in Alabama, a sore loser delusion and hypocritical politician in Hillary Clinton, and a nice review of the lawbreaking that Obama did while in office. More insanity to follow.

Part 3: Why The Obama Administration Deserves To Be Rated The Worst Presidency Since 1945

A recent public opinion poll conducted by Quinnipiac University, a traditional and unbiased source of public opinion, asked a sample of Americans who they thought operated the worst Presidency since 1945. Barack Obama won a plurality of votes in that poll for being the worst U.S. President since 1945. 33% of respondents named him as the worst President over the past seven decades with George W, Bush finishing second at 28%.

Both of them far outpolled who I generally consider the two worst Presidents of the past hundred years, Jimmy Carter (8%) for being a President who was clueless and totally ineffective, and Richard Nixon (13%) for simply being a vindictive crook. America has to be pretty disgusted with your Presidential administration when you are mentioned 2-4 more times than either Carter or Nixon as the worst president since 1945.

Over the next few days we are going to explore the overwhelming number of reasons while this result for President Obama is not only rational but is well deserved. Before anyone starts with their counter arguments or disputing my list of Obama policy failures, criminal acts, economic ignorance, violations of the Constitution, and broken promises, keep in mind the following facts:

• I have never voted for a Republican for President in my life and I am over 60 years old.
• Up until November, 2010, I had never voted for a Republican for national office.
• In the first two years of his Presidency, Obama’s party was in control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate with filibuster proof majorities in both places, I.e. he could have done anything he wanted politically and legislatively without any assist from any Republican.
• I am not saying that anyone else would have resolved all of the issues listed below but it is difficult to think that at least some of these issues would have been resolved by people such as Truman, Kennedy, or Reagan. The Obama Presidency has been so bad that just about every issue and problem listed below is actually far WORST rather than BETTER since the onset of the Obama administration.
• Consider an old saying: “Don’t tell me how rough the seas were, just tell me you brought the boat safely into the harbor.” In other words, a true leader takes the blame and gives the credit. No one forced Obama to become President, he knew the situation he was getting into. He should be judged on how well he managed the situation he inherited going forward. Unfortunately, instead of leadership and looking forward, he chose instead to whine, look backwards, and to blame others for his failures rather than focusing on moving forward from whatever adverse situation he inherited.

Okay, so that sets out the preliminaries: I am not a conservative, a Republican, or a neocon trying to tear down this President. This President could have done anything he wanted in the first two years of his tenure, he cannot blame the Republicans for blocking anything he failed at since he had a historic window of political opportunity. Instead of leveraging the window and leading the country, he chose to blame the previous President, the Japanese tsunami, ATM machines, and a whole host of other factors in the absence of Presidential leadership.

Thus, without any further delay and in no particular order, consider the following XXXX reasons why the Quinnipiac public opinion poll is probably an accurate view of why America rates the Obama administration as the worst Presidential administration in the past 70 years or so (the first 36 reasons were listed in the previous two posts starting with XXXXX):

37) He has constantly reinforced his masculinity by staging dozens of photo ops with professional and college athletic teams but has had minimal photo ops with outstanding teachers, heroic soldiers, or other outstanding American citizens. 

38) He embarrassed the country and his administration by not sending a high level representative to represent the country at Margaret Thatcher’s state funeral, just another in a long line of snubs against our allies around the world. 

39) His failure to come up with a sane and compassionate drug program, continuing the long failing war on drugs, has lead to the continued enlargement and enrichment of foreign drug cartels who have now established themselves firmly throughout the country, peddling their drugs and getting richer. 

40) His failure to live up to his campaign promise of not having high powered lobbyists in positions of power in his administration, a campaign promise that he promptly broke when he placed many high level lobbyists in his administration. 

Relevant Obama quote (Anthony Holm): “More than forty former lobbyists work in senior positions in the Obama administration, including three cabinet secretaries and the CIA director.” 

41) He failed to live up to his promise of reducing the obscene number of earmarks in the annual Federal government expense stream, with the value of earmarks at almost the exact same level of waste as when he took office five years ago. 

Relevant Obama quote: “We need earmark reform, and when I'm President, I will go line by line to make sure that we are not spending money unwisely.” 

42) He signed the renewal of the Patriot Act with little discussion or change, a piece of legislation that has caused a significant drop off in freedom and privacy in this country. 

Relevant Obama quote: "We will revisit the Patriot Act and overturn unconstitutional executive decisions issued during the past eight years." 

43) His administration has, at times, incurred MONTHLY deficit spending levels that were higher than almost every other ANNUAL spending deficits from every other President including Bush. 

Relevant Obama quote: “Today I’m pledging to cut the deficit we inherited in half by the end of my first term in office. This will not be easy. It will require us to make difficult decisions and face challenges we’ve long neglected. But I refuse to leave our children with a debt that they cannot repay — and that means taking responsibility right now, in this administration, for getting our spending under control.” 

44) He failed to foresee the Arab spring, resulting in an unpreparedness that has considerably weakened the American influence in the entire Middle East region. 

45) His Obama Care legislation has resulted in many new taxes being directly or indirectly imposed on EVERY American. 

Relevant Obama quote: “If your family earns less than $250,000 a year, you will not see your taxes increased a single dime. I repeat: not one single dime.” 

46) The national debt has increased almost $8 TRILLION during his first six years in office, imposing an individual debt burden of over $50,000 on every man, woman and child in the country. 

Relevant Obama quote: “Nobody wants to put the creditworthiness of the United States in jeopardy. Nobody wants to see the United States default. So we've got to seize this moment, and we have to seize it soon.” 

Relevant Obama quote: "America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit." 

47) Of his many lies, one the biggest lie was to blame Congress for the impacts of the sequester, an idea that he proposed, and an idea he later denied ever proposing despite the public record of his proposal. 

Relevant Obama quote: “The sequester is not something that I’ve proposed. It is something that Congress has proposed.” 

Relevant Obama quote (Bob Woodward): “What the president said is not correct [that he did not propose the sequester]. He is mistaken. And its refuted by the people who work for him.” 

48) In cahoots with Congress, he secretly signed legislation that modified the STOCK Act, a secret signing that allowed Congressional members and their staffs to again conduct stock trading based on their insider secret knowledge of legislation that was pending, proposed or possible in the future. 

49) He allowed his administration to spend millions of dollars to buy fake Twitter and Facebook hits and followers while at the same time signing legislation that reduced the pension benefits of our veterans. 

50) Despite wining the Nobel Peace prize, according to Gallup's international polling, 23% of world citizens in a recent opinion poll still view the United States as the biggest threat to world peace, almost three times more than the next nearest threat (Pakistan), and more than four times higher than either Russia or China. 

51) Despite promising to have the most transparent administration ever, Transparency International recently proclaimed that corruption in the United States was growing faster than anywhere else in the world except Cuba, Dominca, and Burkina Faso. 

52) Analysis of IRS records showed that 36 Obama White House employees owe over $800,000 in back taxes and over 300,000 Federal employees owed about $3.5 billion in back taxes but all of whom were allowed to continue to draw their full Federal salaries and benefits; which should not be a surprise since he nominated any number of tax evaders and/delinquent tax payers to important government positions including Kathleen Sibelius (head of Health and Human Services), Timothy Geithner (Secretary of the Treasury), YYY Solis (head of the Labor department), Tom Daschle (who ended up not working for this administration) and others. 

53) He broke his promise not to sign non-emergency legislation before it had been posted on the Internet for at least five days. 

54) He broke his promise to televise the Congressional hearings regarding Obama Care debates and proceedings on C-SPAN so the entire country would understand what was going into the legislation. 

55) He lied when he stated that the Supreme Court had never overturned any law that had been passed by Congress., he lied when he said the auto bailouts he supported prevented Detroit from going bankrupt (it did go bankrupt), he lied when he said that Al Qaeda was almost defeated since we now know that Al Qaeda controls more physical territory in the world than it ever has before including battlegrounds in Iraq that cost Americans hundreds of lives and billions of dollars, he lied when he denied saying that he had ever declared a “red line” regarding Syria’s use of chemical weapons. (relevant Obama quote: “A red line for us is when we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around.”), he lied when he falsely claimed that health insurance companies were the cause of millions of insurance policies being cancelled when in truth it was the Obama Care legislation requirements that legally forced the cancellations, and he lied when he falsely claimed that an insurance company had refused to pay for his mother’s cancer treatment. 

56) Three years after the Dodd-Frank financial industry reform legislation has been passed, less than half of the needed regulations required by the legislation have been written by the executive branch. 

57) He vindictively shut down White House tours and DC war memorials during the sequester and government shutdown, claiming lack of government funds, but somehow found government funds to keep his favorite government run golf course open the whole time. 

58) He insulted the families who had loved ones die or be wounded by the Fort Hood terrorist attacker, Nidal Hasan, by claiming they were merely victims of “workplace violence” and not terrorism; this cold designation resulted in those families and victims not getting just compensation for their losses and suffering while at the same time paying over $200,000 in government salary and benefits to the shooter and terrorist Hasan as he awaited trial. 

59) He refused to fire the IRS employees who lost $67 million from an Obama Care slush fund, he refused to fire ATF employees who lost over 400 million cigarettes in their position, he failed to fire anyone connected with the $600 million Obama Care website that did not work, he failed to fire anyone who was connected with the botched rollout of Obama Care including Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, etc. In fact, in a time of massive government corruption, fraud, and incompetence, his administration has failed to fire or prosecute any government employee for any breach of conduct or laws.

60) He refused or did not care to rein in absolutely stupid and unnecessary government spending including research money used to build a robotic squirrel, development of a video game to simulate prom week, conducting pottery classes in Morocco, determining when dogs became man’s best friend, constructing a million dollar bus stop in Arlington, Virginia, keeping a dog handler (earning over $100,000 a year) on the White House payroll to handle the Obama family’s dog’s needs, keeping three full time professional calligraphers on staff, and other such extraneous, unnecessary and wasteful spending and nonsense. 

61) He criticized waterboarding and secret rendition of suspected terrorists but then went forth and simply just killed suspected terrorists and collateral damage civilians directly by drone attacks. 

Relevant Obama quote: "We will not ship away prisoners in the dead of night to be tortured in far off countries, or detain without trial or charge prisoners who can and should be brought to justice for their crimes, or maintain a network of secret prisons to jail people beyond the reach of the law." 

62) He failed to anticipate and then manage the growing humnaitarian crisis on our southern border with the invasion and assaulting of that border by tens of thousands of kids and adults from Central and South America, an assault that is straining border security, straining medical resources, and opening up the country to the potential for terrorist infiltration and disease introduction.

Sixty two reasons which justify why this Presidential administration deserves its ranking as the worst Presidency since 194. And we are not even close to completing the case that more and more of Americans are coming to understand. We will need at least a few more days to finsish up the list of failures and corruption of this Presidency. 

However, the remaining reasons we are going to list out in the coming days are actually more serious than the first 62 reasons. The remaining justifications for proving this is the worst Presdiecney since 1945 are actually actions and reasons for impeachment and removal from office. So far, we have just examined corruption, incompetence, broken promises, inept economic policies, inept foreign affairs management, etc. Going forward, we document and discuss dozens of reasons for both being ranked as the worst Presidency since 1945 and reasons justifying the termination of the Obama adminstration.

May, 2013, Obama Care Update, Part 7: Drug Costs Rising, HHS Looking For Donations and More

This will be the seventh and final (for this month!) post that went through the many current and likely future disasters and fiascos that Obama Care will cause to befall the country, its economy, and its personal and economic freedoms. Looking at the facts that these seven posts have discussed, it is quite hard for a rational human being to still believe that this is the best way to resolve the nation’s ever rising health care costs.

As we have proven many times before, Obama Care never understood the root causes of our high health care costs and thus any of the solutions within it are highly unlikely to resolve the underlying problems. All the legislation does is create another huge, ineffective, and inefficient government bureaucracy.

Although this last post will do it for this month, I fear that next month we will need to run another series of posts that updates the continuing disaster that is Obama Care.

1) Democratic politicians, many of whom voted to approve Obama Care, seem to have growing concerns about the legislation. Seventeen Senators who previously voted for the law recently tried to repeal a new medical device tax that was in the legislation because it was causing economic stress on companies back in their home states.

One of the original active advocates of the law, Montana Senator Max Baucus, now calls the legislation a train wreck, a concern that has been voiced by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. A Democrat running for Congress in a special South Carolina election recently called the legislation problematic.

And now another U.S. Senator, Chris Coons from Delaware, interviewed by NBC news recently, openly stated that he has some real concerns about the legislation and that Congress needs to keep a close on eye it as it is rolled out.

Real concerns, train wreck, problematic. Feeling comfortable that this is going to work when these types of descriptions are attached to it?

2) A May 13, 2013 Associated Press article had some bad news for Americans who might come down with specific types of diseases in that Obama Care, and the implementation of the law in each state, may result in skyrocketing medication costs for those specific diseases. This is the exact opposite of what the legislation was supposed to do, i.e. reduce costs of medications for sick Americans, not increase the cost.

Details of the article include the following points:

• In an attempt to keep health care insurance premiums low, some states are likely to allow insurance companies to charge patients a larger share of the cost for expensive medications used to treat cancer, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and other life-affecting chronic diseases.
• Such "specialty drugs" can cost thousands of dollars a month. In California, for example, patients needed these so-called specialty drugs for these specific types of diseases would pay up to 30% of the cost, a monthly cost that can run into the thousands of dollars.
• The article also cites the widely used cancer drug, Gleevec, asserting that a patient that needed Gllevec patient could pay more than $2,000 for a month's supply.
• Industry experts fear that many states will follow California's lead, a trend that would defeat the purpose of Obama's overhaul, because some of the sickest patients may be unable to afford their prescriptions.
• "It's important that the benefit design not discriminate against people with chronic illness, and high copays do that," said Dan Mendelson, president of Avalere Health, a data analysis firm catering to the health care industry and government.
• "You have to worry about a world where if you happen to contract cancer or multiple sclerosis, you are stuck with a really big bill," Mendelson said. "It's going to be very important for states to take a long, hard look at their benefit design."
• His company’s research shows that 1 in 4 cancer patients walks away from the pharmacy counter empty-handed when facing a copay of $500 or more for a newly prescribed drug.
• A spokesman for Covered California said state officials are trying to balance between two conflicting priorities: comprehensive coverage and affordable premiums.

And this last statement from the article kind of sums up the failure of Obama Care: it never resolved the underlying causes of our high health care costs, it just created a giant government bureaucracy that moves taxes and rules around but never solves the problem. California is trying to balance the two priorities of comprehensive coverage and affordable premiums. To really solve the problem, a good piece of legislation would solve the overall problem and not resort to “balancing priorities.”

Thus, if you are in need of a “free” medical check up or a “free” mammogram, you may think Obama Care is great because it balances in your favor. But if you have cancer, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, or other serous diseases, you are just out of luck because Obama Care got balanced in such a way to make your life more expensive, not less expensive, more dangerous, not less dangerous. Nothing is free in life, and certainly not in Obama Care. Your free was the result of making someone else’s health calamity less free. A real solution would never result in having to make this balancing choice.

3) When Obama Care was jammed through the legislative process, its supporters pointed to their analyses that showed it would take less than $900 billion to implement the program over ten years. Just a few years later, Congressional Budget Office analyses predicted that the ten year implementation costs had about doubled to over $1.7 TRILLION, not a good trend.

And now that onerous cost may be understated as we recently learned that the Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary, Katheleen Sebelius, has been going to various non-government entities, hat in hand, asking them, pressuring them to actually contribute to the roll out of the legislation since HHS feels it does not have enough money in its budget to do the rollout properly.

This action becomes particularly distressing in light of the news this week that the Obama administration, via its control of the IRS, had vindictively acted against Americans and political groups that were at odds with the positions of the administration. Could this asking for funds from private entities be another Obama administration shake down along the lines and philosophy of the IRS Mafia-like actions?

At least one person, and probably many more, think this type of be government behavior may have crossed the line into criminal actions: “To solicit funds from health-care executives to help pay for the implementation of the President’s $2.6 trillion health spending law is absurd,” Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah) said in a statement. “I will be seeking more information from the Administration about these actions to help better understand whether there are conflicts of interest and if it violated federal law.”

Even if the Secretary’s actions were not criminal, it is just another example that shows the supporters of this legislation were either clueless when they put it together relative to the unbelievably high costs that are coming to light or deliberately lied about the true costs to get the legislation approved. Whether the reasons were criminal, ignorant, or liars, the bottom line is this law is a disaster of historic proportions.

4) An Independent Journal report from April 19, 2013 reported on an analysis from The Society of Actuaries (SOA) that estimated the cost of individual health insurance plans on Obama Care exchanges will rise more than 80% in some states in 2014. Overall, the SOA report predicted that medical claims per member will rise 32% in the individual plans expected to dominate the Obama Care exchanges next year.

Why will this happen when the overall objective of Obama Care and its exchanges was to REDUCE costs of individual insurance plans? According to the analysis, elderly and sick people will likely join the exchanges at much higher rates than younger, healthier people who are more likely to risk paying the penalty for not buying health insurance than actually buying it.

And since the law is set up to make it virtually impossible for the government to force people to pay the penalty for non-insurance coverage, the revenue anticipated into Obama Care will not occur while the health care costs of old and sick people actually in the exchanges will actually soar. Not rocket science, but common sense found lacking again in those who wrote this disastrous legislation.

5) A May 15, 2013 United Liberty website article summarized some research findings relative to small business owners and what Obama Care will do to them:

• Results of a recent Gallup poll of small businesses found that 48% of them expect Obama Care to have a negative impact on their business while only 13% expect it to have a positive impact.
• The United States Chamber of Commerce recently reported on a separate opinion poll of small business owners that showed massive confusion about Obama Care’s components and the finding that 41% of business owners surveyed had already held off on hiring new workers as a result of Obama Care.
• Another 38% in that survey said they had held off on expanding their businesses because of Obama Care.
• The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that Obama Care will decrease the labor force by 800,000 workers over the next 10 years.
• A recent poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation showed that only 35% of Americans have a favorable opinion of the law, while 40% have an unfavorable view. More than have of respondents support changes to Obama Care or outright repeal.

Is there any doubt that Obama Care is one of the leading reasons why the true unemployment rate is still up around 14% and over 20 million Americans cannot find full time jobs?

6) A Newsmax article from May 5, 2013 reported on the massive communications and miscommunication issues surrounding Obama Care’s rollout. Since the lynch pin of Obama Care is getting uninsured Americans to enroll in the law’s insurance exchanges to purchase health care insurance, if that does not come about, the entire legislation collapses on itself.

The reason? The law’s financials and mechanics requires healthy younger Americans to give up some of their wealth and purchase health insurance so that this money can than be diverted to cover others who cannot afford insurance and those generally older Americans who likely need more medical resources to stay healthy.

In other words, the government needs to take money from Paul (generally younger, healthy Americans) to pay Paul (generally older, less healthy Americans). This gets back to the “balancing act” discussed above. Obama Care never resolved the underlying root causes of our high health care costs, it just tries to move around wealth and taxes and insurance fees in a constant balancing act.

But the ability to get all of these younger Americans to purchase health care insurance faces a wall of ignorance:

• A Kaiser Family Foundation poll found that 77% of Americans know little or nothing about Obama Care health insurance exchanges.
• 40% falsely think Obama Care reforms create a government panel to make end-of-life decisions for people on Medicare.
• An April survey of 1,003 people by HealthPocket, a company that helps consumers find health care insurance, found that the law's penalty for not buying coverage would not induce most 25-to-34-year-olds or 18-to-24-year-olds to purchase it.
• The Newsmax article points out that a major communications vehicle for the entire legislation program allocates just $600,000 each for 13 states.

7) One last word of disgust on the whole Obama Care affair, this one from Democratic Senator from Iowa, Tom Harkin. and chairman of the appropriations subcommittee on health care, said in a recent New York Times article that he was extremely upset with Mr. Obama’s action to transfer budget funding from public health prevention programs and use it to publicize the Obama Care: “I am greatly disappointed — beyond upset — that the administration chose to help pay for the Affordable Care Act in fiscal year 2013 by raiding the Public Health and Prevention Fund.”

So rather than use taxpayer wealth to change underlying bad life style habits that lead to high health care costs via public health initiatives, a really good way to get down health care costs, the President has decided to use that well intended money for a PR campaign. Pathetic.

That will do it for this month. The bad news is overwhelming, the good news is non-existent relative to Obama Care. It is truly shaping up as the worst written, worst thought out piece of legislation ever written and approved. And probably the worst news is yet to come, something we will pick up and cover next month. Until then, stay healthy because under this law you probably cannot afford to get sick.
