A
Lawyer by Training, Obama Ignore Rules of Law A Commentary By Michael Barone
"The Illegal-Donor Loophole" is the
headline of a Daily Beast story by Peter Schweizer of the conservative
Government Accountability Institute and Peter Boyer, former reporter at The New
Yorker and The New York Times. The article tells how Obama.com, a website owned
by an Obama fundraiser who lives in China but has visited the Obama White House
11 times, sends solicitations mostly to foreign email addresses and links to
the Obama campaign website's donation page. The Obama website, unlike those of
most campaigns, doesn't ask for the three- or four-digit credit card
verification number. That makes it easier for donors to use fictitious names
and addresses to send money in. Campaigns aren't allowed to accept donations
from foreigners. The campaign -- as my former boss, pollster Peter Hart,
likes to say -- always reflects the candidate. A campaign willing to skirt
the law or abet violations of it reflects a candidate who, as president, has
been doing the same thing.
·
Examples abound. Take the WARN Act, which requires employers to give a
60-day notice of layoffs. It was sponsored and passed by Democrats. The WARN
Act requires defense contractors to give notice on Nov. 2 of layoffs that will
be necessary on Jan. 3, when the sequestration law requires big cutbacks in
defense spending. The administration has asked companies not to send out the
notices. And it has promised to pay companies' WARN Act fines. Why the
solicitude? The warnings could cost Obama Virginia's 13 electoral votes. When
did Congress give presidents the power to suspend operation of this law? What
law authorizes the government to pay the fines of those who violate the law?
·
Or consider the welfare waivers that Health and Human Services Secretary
Kathleen Sebelius gives to states that want to relax work requirements.
Democratic blogger Mickey Kaus makes a strong case that this violates clear
language in the welfare reform act signed by Bill Clinton in 1996. If Kaus is right, Sebelius and Obama are brazenly
rewriting the law -- one of the most successful reforms of the last two
decades.
·
Then there's Obama's promise not to deport young illegal immigrants
brought into the U.S. as children who meet certain conditions -- like going to
college or serving in the military. It's
a policy that tests well in the polls. The problem is that Congress, even when
controlled by Democrats, refused to relax immigration policy in this way.
You won't hear much about this on the campaign
trail. Mitt Romney says he won't reverse it, since it seems harsh to penalize
people who came forward in response to a president's stated policy. Similarly,
he's not in favor of reversing the policy allowing open gays to serve in the
military. There's one difference between the two situations. Congress actually
passed a law (repealing one signed by Clinton) allowing gays to serve. It was
one of the last acts of the outgoing Democratic Congress in 2010.
But
neither that Congress nor the current one passed a law authorizing mass
non-enforcement of immigration laws. Nor did any Congress pass a law suspending the WARN Act when it
jeopardizes a president's chance to carry a target state. Article II of the Constitution (not Article
I, as Joe Biden appeared to say in the 2008 vice presidential debate) sets out
the duties and powers of the president. Section 3 states that "he shall
take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." It does not give him the power to make laws.
That's given to Congress, in Article I. Barack
Obama was a lecturer on constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law
School. But he seems to take the attitude familiar to me, as an alumnus of Yale
Law School, that the law is simply a bunch of words that people who are clever
with words can manipulate to get any result they want. In public speeches,
he has defended such policies by shouting, "We can't wait!" The
results are good, or at least politically convenient, so why be held back by a
few words written on paper? The Constitution was written by men who had a
different idea. They wanted a government [and a President] bound by the rule of
law. Do we?

Wynn
On Obama: "I'll Be Damned If I Want To Have Him Lecture Me"
On the Tuesday broadcast of the nightly Nevada
political program "Ralston Reports," Steve Wynn, CEO of Wynn Resorts
sat down with host Jon Ralston to discuss the presidential election. Wynn, an outspoken critic of President Obama,
didn't hold back in his latest criticism of the incumbent president seeking a
second term. "I'll be damned if I want to have him lecture me about small
business and jobs. I'm a job creator. Guys like me are job creators and we
don't like having a bulls-eye painted on our back," Wynn said about
Obama to Ralston. Wynn, an outspoken
critic of President Obama, didn't hold back in his latest criticism of the

Biden
Complains People 'Can Barely Pay To Fill Their Gas Tank' - Back In '08 Debate By Craig Bannister
During the 2008 vice presidential debate, Joe Biden
complained about how gas prices were so high at the time that the average “Joe”
couldn’t afford to fill up his tank.
At
the time (Oct. 2008), the average cost of a gallon of regular was $3.17 – and only
$1.93/gallon when Obama took office in January of 2009 – according to the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Today, AAA estimates that a gallon of regular costs about
$3.82 (Oct. 9), while the latest
BLS report says it cost $3.71/gallon in August. And, this week, the
Associated Press reported that gas prices in California have hit an all-time
high of $4.67 for a gallon of regular, and The Los Angeles Times reported that
that Gov. Jerry Brown has taken “emergency steps” to address the problem. Back in 2008, you couldn't turn on the
news without some story about how people were having to choose between gas and
food. And how it was all the presidents fault. Fast forward a few years later,
and suddenly it's the new normal and there is nothing the president can do
about it. Funny
how that works!!!!

America's
Rich Pay The Highest Taxes In The World
The Wall Street Journal's Stephen Moore has just
come out with a new book titled Who's the Fairest of Them All?: The
Truth about Opportunity, Taxes, and Wealth in America and he reveals
some interesting information about how much the top ten percent of income
earners in the United States pay in federal income taxes as opposed to any
other industrialized nation in the world. According to Moore, these earners pay
almost half (45 percent) of the country's total taxes. This conclusion flies in
the face of the liberal concept that top earners in the U.S. are not paying
their "fair share" in taxes. The National Tax Foundation created the chart below to
which Moore explains:
"The
United States is actually more dependent on rich people to pay taxes than even
many of the more socialized economies of Europe. According to the Tax
Foundation, the United States gets 45 percent of
its total taxes from the top 10 percent of tax filers, whereas the international average in industrialized
nations is 32 percent. America’s rich carry a larger share of the tax burden
than do the rich in Belgium (25 percent), Germany (31 percent), France (28
percent), and even Sweden (27 percent)."

Obamacare
Regulations Have Dragged $27.6 Billion Out Of The Economy, Killed More Than
18,000 Jobs…
Fully
implementing Obamacare regulations have already cost the U.S. economy $27.6
billion and more than 18,000 jobs according to a new study released today. Just
the top ten most expensive regulations have cost $24.4 billion, according to
the new non-partisan and independent American Action Forum (AAF) report. Just
complying with the state health exchanges alone has to cost employers $3.4
billion according to the AAF totals
which were compiled from Federal Register data. In addition to the
regulatory costs, AAF estimates that Obamacare regulatory compliance has eaten
up more than 60 million hours in paperwork. At 2,000 hours a year that comes to
30,000 jobs. The AAF paper also calculated the regulatory costs and job losses
in each state for the top ten must expensive Obamacare regulations. California has borne the brunt of
Obamacare’s costs suffering $3.4 billion in costs and 2,917 jobs lost. Texas
has been hit second hardest with $1.8 billion in costs and 1,292 jobs lost.

Obamacare
Subsidizes Abortions for Women Making $90,000
How
rich do you have to be in Barack Obama’s America to pay the whole tab for your
own abortion? What about a divorced 38-year-old public school principal who has
three children and earns $90,000 per year? Would she need to personally pay the
full fair to have a doctor kill her fourth child while that child was still in
her womb? Under Obamacare, the federal
government will force taxpayers to help her buy insurance that pays for
abortions. Back in March, the Obama administration published the 166-page
regulation governing the establishment of Obamacare’s state health-insurance
exchanges. A few weeks later, the U.S. Conference
of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) published a two-page analysis explaining what this
regulation means for American taxpayers who do not want to pay for someone to
kill a child.

Kodak
to end healthcare benefits, solves $1.2 billion liability
Eastman
Kodak Co said on Wednesday it was ending retiree healthcare and survivor
benefits at the end of the year, allowing it to resolve a $1.2 billion
liability, one of its biggest obligations. The benefits, which include medical,
dental, life insurance and survivor income benefits, will end December 31.
Kodak will give retirees a $635 million unsecured claim, a $7.5 million cash
payment to support initial administration and benefit obligations, and a $15
million allowed administrative claim that would have priority in reorganization
proceedings.

Who

hugely larger number than the reported undecided. Could it be that some "centrist"

The Most Outrageous Scandal of This Presidency That The
MSM is Downplaying!
As
many of us have been watching and listening over the last weeks, the
administration has been found out to be covering up for the failures leading up
to the Benghazi attack that left 4 Americans dead. The cover up should be an outrage to the
American people. How can we trust this
administration when it blatantly creates a cover up and continued to stick to
the lies when others were outing the truth?
There is an undeniable pattern of lying and cover up as revealed in this
O'Reilly montage.

Libya
Debacle: Why Didn’t Rice Simply Decline to Comment? By
Patrick Goodenough
As administration officials continue to defend U.S.
Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice over her remarks attributing the
September 11 attack in Benghazi to protests against an anti-Islam video, the
question still unanswered is why Rice said anything at all. Five days after the
attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans,
Rice told a series of Sunday talk shows that, according to the best information
available at the time, the incident was a “spontaneous reaction” to an online
video clip denigrating Mohammed, rather than an unrelated terrorist attack.

Obama:
'Al Qaeda is On Its Heels;' DNI: 'Groups Affiliated With Or Sympathetic to Al
Qaeda' Involved in 9/11/12 By
Terence P. Jeffrey
Less
than two weeks after the office of his Director of National Intelligence
publicly conceded that people linked to al Qaeda had been involved in the
deadly 9/11/12 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, President
Barack Obama declared to a crowd in San Francisco that he had put al Qaeda
"on its heels." On Sept. 28, the office of Director of National
Intelligence James Clapper issued a
statement indicating that it had mistakenly believed the Sept. 11, 2012
terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi that killed the U.S.
ambassador to Libya and three other Americans had happened
"spontaneously."
"As
we learned more about the attack, we revised our initial assessment to reflect
new information indicating that it was a deliberate and organized terrorist
attack carried out by extremists," said the statement from the office of
the DNI. "It remains unclear if any group or person exercised overall
command and control of the attack, and if extremist group leaders directed
their members to participate. However, we do assess that some of those involved
were linked to groups affiliated with, or sympathetic to al-Qa'ida." In
San Francisco on Monday evening, President Obama said
that he had delivered on a commitment he had made about dealing with al
Qaeda. "Now, four years ago, I made a few commitments to you," Obama
said. "I told you I’d end the war in Iraq, and I did. I said I’d end the
war in Afghanistan, and we are. I said we’d refocus on the people who actually
attacked us on 9/11, and today, al Qaeda is on its heels and Osama bin Laden is
no more."

Our
Christian President Wears Muslim Wedding Band
There
is more than one report of Barack Obama wearing a gold wedding band on his ring
finger when he attended Harvard Law School as a single young man. Some of
them have gone so far as to suggest that he had been secretly married before or
that he may have had a gay lover. None of those rumors have ever been
documented as true, but then what really has been documented as true concerning
Obama’s past. According to a report from WND,
that wedding ring that single Obama wore at Harvard is the same band that
Michelle Robinson placed on his finger during their wedding ceremony.
There’s nothing scandalous about that, except that analysis of photos of
Obama’s hand and ring reveal an Arabic inscription that reads: “There is no God except Allah.” This phrase is the beginning of the
declaration of faith to Islam known as the Shahada. The second part of
the Shahada goes on to say that Mohammad is Allah’s prophet. In Muslim
culture and tradition, recitation of the Shahada signifies one’s adherence to
the Muslim faith and rejection of all other gods. WND obtained close-up photos
of Obama’s wedding ring and asked Mark A. Gabriel, a Ph.D. Islamic scholar to
examine the ring for them. Gabriel
is an Egyptian by birth, but now lives in the U.S. under asylum status.
He is critical of Islam and has written several books about the religion that
he calls dangerous.
