We know for a fact that about 30 people survived the attack in Benghazi on September 11th which left Chris Stevens, Glen Doherty, Sean Smith, and Tyrone Woods dead because of the lack of action from the Obama regime on that fateful night as the president slept in preparation for a fundraiser in Nevada. But until now we did not know where these survivors were.
According to this article we now know where at least one survivor is; his name is David Ubben and he is still recovering at Walter Reed Hospital from nearly having his leg blown off.
The last two Obamacare updates are ripe with irony (or better yet, hypocrisy) as earlier tonight we found out that even though the IRS is morphing into the Obamacare gestapo, and will be charged with putting their boots on the necks of those in non-compliance with the Affordable Healthcare Act, their union is moving to ensure that IRS employees do not have to join Obamacare.
As hypocritical as that story is it is followed on its heals by another story which just might be even more hypocritical: The Obama regime is setting up a 24 hour call center to help people with questions about the healthcare reform law, but even though the jobs were advertised as being full time positions many of them will actually be part time positions.
What this means is that while these people are employed by the Obama regime to help people understand the healthcare reform law they will not be provided with healthcare themselves.
Many companies are cutting the hours of their full time employees down to part time in order to avoid the healthcare law and cut costs, and now it appears as if Barack Obama is doing the same with those whom he employs.
Obamacare: IRS employee union looks to exempt IRS employees from the Affordable Care Act
This story is just too good to pass up: You may remember that not too long ago Harry Reid and John Boehner were in discussions to exempt members of the Congress and their aides from Obamacare. In response to this move House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp introduced legislation which would ensure that Federal employees would not be exempt from Obamacare. In other words, they would also have to live under the rules they wish us all to live under.
Camp has long believed every American ought to be exempt from the law, which is why he supports full repeal,” Camp spokeswoman Allie Walker said.
“If the Obamacare exchanges are good enough for the hardworking Americans and small businesses the law claims to help, then they should be good enough for the president, vice president, Congress and federal employees
That sounds fair enough to me, but an IRS employee union does not like this idea one bit and has been sending out a form letter which they are asking their members to send to the Congress. Here is what the letter says: Read more…
Benghazi: The mother of fallen hero Sean Smith slams Barack Obama over his phony scandal comment
After ignoring the economy for five years Barack Obama has decided to refocus on it, and while doing so he has tried to lay the blame for his failures on the Congress by claiming they “took their eyes off the ball” in order to focus on “phony scandals.”
He apparently feels that the NSA gathering information on all calls and emails made and written by most Americans isn’t important, and as if using the IRS to target political opponents isn’t important and shouldn’t be questioned.
But most of all he has decided that the rape and murder of a United States ambassador, and the killing of three other Americans during a terrorist attack in Benghazi is a phony scandal. How dare the Congress try to hold his majesty accountable for his inaction during the attack!
Needless to say, this is not sitting well with the mother of Sean Smith. Sean Smith went to the defense of Chris Stevens and fought off the terrorists for seven hours while waiting for help which never came even though it was available. He was rewarded for his heroic actions with his death and his mother has not been able to get any answers from the Obama regime. To her this is not a phony scandal: Read more…
Barack Obama claims Washington has “taken its eye off the ball” in regards to the economy
Today Barack Obama decided to refocus on the economy after ignoring it for most of his tenure as president. During his speech today he claimed that the Congress has “taken its eye off the ball” and has focused on “phony scandals” instead of the economy. As if the concerns of Americans on the issues of spying and being targeted by the IRS for political reasons is of little importance.
As the leader in Washington Barack Obama has used his second term to push gun control, immigration reform, and climate change legislation while exploiting the George Zimmerman verdict, so if the Congress took its eye off the ball it is because they have focused on the issues Barack Obama saw as the most important.
With this statement he is blaming Washington for America’s continued economic woes while ignoring the fact that he is part of Washington. If Washington (read the Congress) is guilty of taking their eyes off the ball it is due to the fact that they went where Barack Obama led them. He cannot have it both ways…..
Here in New Hampshire we have pretty lenient rules when it comes to deciding who is eligible to vote in the state. Non-resident students who are attending school in the state are allowed to vote in New Hampshire , as are those who declare New Hampshire as a domicile even if they have a residence in another state.
The rules for applying for domicile status are pretty vague and are open to liberal interpretation:
According to the Secretary of State’s Office, the law allows a pretty wide interpretation of who’s eligible to vote. Deputy Secretary of State Dave Scanlan said that in theory, a person could move into the state a day before an election, establish domicile in the state, vote and then leave the next day.
As you can see this makes the New Hampshire law ripe for abuse when a person can “live” in the state the day before and the day after the election and have the right to vote in the state.
Delaware destroyed the records which show who illegally accessed Christine O’Donnell’s tax records and when
While trying to make our way through the tapestry of lies and the web of deceit which is engulfing more and more of the Obama regime it must be remembered that there are actually two simultaneous IRS scandals.
The first scandal we learned about in May and that involves the IRS targeting conservative groups, and the second scandal we learned about last week and this one involves illegally accessing the tax records of people who were running for political office and/or their staff. It much be remembered that the IRS has admitted in both cases that they behaved badly.
At the time this story broke we didn’t know which candidates’ records were illegally accessed by the IRS but soon thereafter it was learned that Christine O’Donnell was one.
White House cabinet member who met with the IRS disappeared overseas two weeks before the scandal broke
Yesterday we learned that IRS chief William Wilkins, the only politically appointed IRS official appointed by Barack Obama, had a meeting in the White House two days before the IRS issued new regulations to target conservative groups.
I find this to be highly suspicious to say the least, but if you think this is simply a remarkable and extraordinary coincidence perhaps you should read today’s revelation.
According to this story, one day before the IRS began targeting conservative groups Jeffrey Zients, a White House cabinet member met with IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman for over eight hours. Well now that is interesting isn’t it?
But the story doesn’t end there because a mere two weeks before the scandal broke Jeffrey Zients left Barack Obama’s cabinet and headed overseas, where he remains to this day. Nobody seems to know where he is, or if they do they are not saying.
IRS chief met with Barack Obama two days before the order was given to target conservative groups
Contrary to the initial story we were spoon fed by the Obama regime that the IRS targeting scandal was the work of rogue agents in the Cincinnati office we learned last week that the order to target conservative came down from on high.
In a sworn statement from 50 year IRS veteran Carter Hull, he claimed that Lois Lerner ordered all conservative applications to be sent to William Wilkins for extra scrutiny.
It just so happens that William Wilkins just happens to be the one political appointee in the IRS who was directly appointed by Barack Obama.
As if that was not bad enough we are now learning from this article that William Wilkins and his boss met with Barack Obama two days before the order was given to target conservative groups.
What a remarkable coincidence!
