			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Who Said It &#8212; </strong><em><b>Quiz</b></em><strong> </strong>
<p><strong>This is a fun quiz from your favourite teacher.&nbsp; Listed below are 10 direct quotes. You have to&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>guess which American politician said it. Your four choices are:&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>Former VP Dan Quayle&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>President Barack Obama&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>Former President George W. Bush&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>Ready? Here we go!&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>Who said it?</strong><strong> </strong>
<p>1) &#8220;Let me be absolutely clear.&nbsp; Israel is a strong friend of Israel.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p><strong>A. Barack Obama&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>B. Dan Quayle&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>C. Sarah Palin&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>D. George W. Bush&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p>2) &#8220;I&#8217;ve now been in 57 states.&nbsp; I think one left to go.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p><strong>A. Barack Obama&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>B. Dan Quayle&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>C. Sarah Palin&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>D. George W. Bush&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p>3) &#8220;On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>of fallen heroes, and I see many of them in the audience here today.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p><strong>A. Barack Obama&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>B. Dan Quayle&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>C. Sarah Palin&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>D. George W. Bush&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p>4) &#8220;What they&#8217;ll say is, &#8216;Well it costs too much money,&#8217; but you&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>know what? It would cost, about.&nbsp; It it would cost about the same&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>as what we would spend. It. Over the course of 10 years it would&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>cost what it would costs us. (nervous laugh)&nbsp; All right. Okay.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>We&#8217;re going to do it. It would cost us about the same as it would&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>cost for about hold on one second. I can&#8217;t hear myself.&nbsp; But I&#8217;m&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>glad you&#8217;re fired up, though.&nbsp; I&#8217;m glad.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p><strong>A. Barack Obama&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>B. Dan Quayle&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>C. Sarah Palin&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>D. George W. Bush&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p>5) &#8220;The reforms we seek would bring greater competition, choice,&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>savings and inefficiencies to our health care system.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p><strong>A. Barack Obama&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>B. Dan Quayle&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>C. Sarah Palin&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>D. George W. Bush&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p>(6) &#8220;I bowled a 129. It&#8217;s like &#8211; it was like the Special Olympics,&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>or something.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p><strong>A. Barack Obama&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>B. Dan Quayle&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>C. Sarah Palin&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>D. George W. Bush&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p>7) &#8220;Of the many responsibilities granted to a president by our&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>Constitution, few are more serious or more consequential than&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>selecting a Supreme Court justice. The members of our highest&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>court are granted life tenure, often serving long after the&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>presidents who appointed them. And they are charged with the vital&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>task of applying principles put to paper more than 20 centuries&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>ago to some of the most difficult questions of our time.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p><strong>A. Barack Obama&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>B. Dan Quayle&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>C. Sarah Palin&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>D. George W. Bush&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p>8) &#8220;Everybody knows that it makes no sense that you send a kid to&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma, they end&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>up taking up a hospital bed, it costs, when, if you, they just&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>gave, you gave them treatment early and they got some treatment,&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>and a, a breathalyzer, or inhalator, not a breathalyzer. I haven&#8217;t&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>had much sleep in the last 48 hours.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p><strong>A. Barack Obama&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>B. Dan Quayle&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>C. Sarah Palin&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>D. George W. Bush&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p>9) &#8220;It was interesting to see that political interaction in Europe&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>is not that different from the United States Senate. There&#8217;s a lot&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>of I don&#8217;t know what the term is in Austrian, wheeling and&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>dealing.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p><strong>A. Barack Obama&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>B. Dan Quayle&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>C. Sarah Palin&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>D. George W. Bush&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p>10) &#8220;I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>judgments in the future.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p><strong>A. Barack Obama&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>B. Dan Quayle&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>C. Sarah Palin&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p><strong>D. George W. Bush&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>
<p>Folks&#8230; this was a trick quiz.&nbsp; All of the correct answers are the same&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>person. Each of these quotes are directly from President Barack&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>Obama. And now you know why he brings his teleprompter with him&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>everywhere he goes &#8230;even when talking to a 6th grade class.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>And some members of the media continue to insist he is &#8220;The&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p>smartest man ever elected to the Presidency&#8221;. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And now a work from Rep. Allen West (R-Fla), as it appeared in THE WEEKLY STANDARD.</p>
<p><b>Allen West on the Marines Incident: &#8216;Shut Your Mouth, War Is Hell&#8217;</b>
<p>Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.), a former Army lieutenant colonel, sends THE WEEKLY STANDARD an email commenting on the <a href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/silence-republican-candidates_616690.html">Marines&#8217; video</a>, and has given us permission to publish it.
<p>&nbsp;
<p>“I have sat back and assessed the incident with the video of our Marines urinating on Taliban corpses. I do not recall any self-righteous indignation when our Delta snipers Shugart and Gordon had their bodies dragged through Mogadishu. Neither do I recall media outrage and condemnation of our Blackwater security contractors being killed, their bodies burned, and hung from a bridge in Fallujah.
<p>“All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?
<p>“The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.
<p>“As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Got this in an e-mail. Got a chuckle out of it.</p>
<p>A woman from Los Angeles who was a tree hugger, a liberal Democrat, and an anti-hunter, purchased a piece of timberland near Colville , WA .</p>
<p>There was a large tree on one of the highest points in the tract. She <br />wanted a good view of the natural splendor of her land so she started to climb the big tree. As she neared the top she encountered a spotted owl that attacked her.</p>
<p>In her haste to escape, the woman slid down the tree to the ground and got many splinters in her crotch. In considerable pain, she hurried to a local ER to see a doctor. She told him she was an environmentalist, a democrat, and an anti-hunter and how she came to get all the splinters.</p>
<p>The doctor listened to her story with great patience and then told her <br />to go wait in the examining room and he would see if he could help her.</p>
<p>She sat and waited three hours before the doctor reappeared.<br />The angry woman demanded, &#8220;What took you so long?&#8221;</p>
<p>He smiled and then told her, &#8220;Well, I had to get permits from the <br />Environmental Protection Agency, the Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management before I could remove old-growth timber from a <br />&#8220;recreational area&#8221; so close to a waste treatment facility. I&#8217;m sorry, <br />but due to Obama-Care they turned you down!&#8221;</p>

<blockquote><p><strong>The day the Democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was actually January 3rd 2007, the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The Democratic Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.<br />
For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is &#8220;Bush&#8217;s Fault&#8221;, think about this:<br />
January 3rd, 2007, the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress:<br />
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77<br />
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%<br />
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%<br />
George Bush&#8217;s Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Remember that day&#8230;<br />
January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over</strong> <strong>the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.<br />
The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?<br />
BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!<br />
THANK YOU DEMOCRATS(especially Barney ) for taking us from 13,000 DOW, 3.5 GDP and 4.6% Unemployment&#8230;to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!<br />
(BTW: Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie &amp; Freddie -starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy). Barney blocked it and called it a &#8220;Chicken Little Philosophy&#8221; (and the sky did fall!)<br />
And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? OBAMA<br />
And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie?<br />
OBAMA and the Democrat Congress, especially BARNEY!!!!</strong></p>
<p><strong>So when someone tries to blame Bush&#8230;<br />
REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007&#8230;. THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!&#8221;<br />
Bush may have been in the car but the Democrats were in charge of the gas pedal and steering wheel they were driving the economy into the ditch.<br />
Budgets do not come from the White House.. They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party.<br />
Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 &amp; 2009 as well as 2010 &amp; 2011.</strong></p>
<p><strong>In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.</strong></p>
<p><strong>For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi &amp; Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budget.</strong></p>
<p><strong>And where was Barack Obama during this time?He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009. Let&#8217;s remember what the deficits looked like during that period:<br />
If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.</strong></p>
<p><strong>If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.<br />
In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is &#8220;I inherited a deficit that I voted for,<br />
and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.&#8221;<br />
There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;The problems we face today exist because the people who <em>work</em> for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living.&#8221;</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Got this in an email today. It&#8217;s pretty good.</em></p>
<p><b><u>These stories are good reminders of how proud and thankful we should always be as Americans!!</u></b>
<p><b><u>JFK&#8217;S </u></b><b><u>Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60&#8242;s when </u></b><b><u>DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO.&nbsp; DeGaule said he wanted all US&nbsp; </u></b><b><u>military out of France as soon as possible.</u></b>
<p><b><u>Rusk responded, </u></b><b><u>&#8220;Does that include those who are buried here?&#8221;</u></b>
<p><b><u>DeGuale</u></b> <b><u>did not respond.</u></b>
<p><b><u>You</u></b> <b><u>could have heard a pin drop.</u></b>
<p><strong>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..</strong>
<p><b><u>When in England , </u></b><b><u>at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the </u></b><b><u>Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of </u></b><b><u>&#8216;empire building&#8217; by George Bush. </u></b><b><u>He answered by saying, </u></b><b><u>&#8220;Over the years, the United States has sent many of </u></b><b><u>its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom </u></b><b><u>beyond our borders.&nbsp; The only amount of land we have ever asked for </u></b><b><u>in return is enough to bury those that did not</u></b> <b><u>return.&#8221;</u></b>
<p><b><u>You</u></b> <b><u>could have heard a pin drop.</u></b><br /><b><u>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</u></b>
<p><b><u>\</u></b>
<p><b><u>There was a conference in France </u></b><b><u>where a number of international engineers </u></b><b><u>were taking part, including French and American.&nbsp; During a break, </u></b><b><u>one of the French engineers came back into the room saying, &#8220;Have you </u></b><b><u>heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft </u></b><b><u>carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims.&nbsp; What does he </u></b><b><u>intend to do, bomb them?&#8221;</u></b>
<p><b><u>A Boeing engineer</u></b> <b><u>stood up and replied quietly:&nbsp; &#8220;Our carriers have three </u></b><b><u>hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are </u></b><b><u>nuclear powered and can supply emergency&nbsp; electrical power to </u></b><b><u>shore facilities; they have three&nbsp; cafeterias with the capacity to </u></b><b><u>feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand </u></b><b><u>gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a </u></b><b><u>dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and </u></b><b><u>from their flight deck.&nbsp; We have eleven such ships; </u></b><b><u>how many does France have?&#8221;</u></b>
<p><u></u>
<p><b><u>You</u></b> <b><u>could have heard a pin drop.</u></b>
<p><b><u>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</u></b>
<p><b><u>A U.S. Navy Admiral </u></b><b><u>was attending a naval conference that included</u></b>
<p><b><u>Admirals from the U.S. , English, Canadian, Australian and French</u></b>
<p><b><u>Navies.&nbsp; At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large </u></b><b><u>group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries. </u></b><b><u>Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a </u></b><b><u>French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many </u></b><b><u>languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, &#8220;Why is it that </u></b><b><u>we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than </u></b><b><u>speaking French?&#8221;</u></b>
<p><b><u>Without hesitating,</u></b> <b><u>the American Admiral replied, &#8220;Maybe it&#8217;s because the </u></b><b><u>Brit&#8217;s, Canadians, Aussie&#8217;s and Americans arranged it so you wouldn&#8217;t </u></b><b><u>have to speak German.&#8221;</u></b>
<p><b><u>You</u></b> <b><u>could have heard a pin drop.</u></b>
<p><b><u>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</u></b>
<p><u></u>
<p><b><u>AND</u></b>
<p><b><u>THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE&#8230;</u></b>
<p><b><u>Robert Whiting, </u></b><b><u>an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. </u></b><b><u>At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport </u></b><b><u>in his carry on. </u></b><b><u>&#8220;You</u></b> <b><u>have been to France before, monsieur?&#8221; the customs officer asked</u></b><b><u>sarcastically.</u></b>
<p><b><u>Mr. Whiting</u></b> <b><u>admitted that he had been to France&nbsp; previously.</u></b>
<p><b><u>&#8220;Then</u></b> <b><u>you should know enough to have your passport ready.&#8221;</u></b>
<p><b><u>The American said, </u></b><b><u>&#8220;The last time I was here, I didn&#8217;t have to show it.&#8221;</u></b>
<p><b><u>&#8220;Impossible. </u></b><b><u>Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France !&#8221;</u></b>
<p><b><u>The American&nbsp; senior</u></b> <b><u>gave the Frenchman a long hard look.&nbsp; Then he </u></b><b><u>quietly explained, &#8221;Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in </u></b><b><u>1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn&#8217;t find a single Frenchmen </u></b><b><u>to show a passport to.&#8221;</u></b>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;
<p>When your friends cannot explain why they voted for Democrats, ask them to choose from this list.</p>
<p>1. I voted Democrat because I believe<br />oil companies&#8217; profits of 4% on a<br />gallon of gas are obscene, but the<br />government taxing the same gallon of<br />gas at 15% isn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>2. I voted Democrat because I believe<br />the government will do a better job of<br />spending the money I earn than I<br />would.</p>
<p>3. I voted Democrat because Freedom of<br />Speech is fine as long as nobody is<br />offended by it.</p>
<p>4. I voted Democrat because I&#8217;m way<br />too irresponsible to own a gun, and I<br />know that my local police are all I<br />need to protect me from murderers and<br />thieves.</p>
<p>5. I voted Democrat because I believe<br />that people who can&#8217;t tell us if it<br />will rain on Friday can tell us that<br />the polar ice caps will melt away in<br />ten years if I don&#8217;t start driving a<br />Prius.</p>
<p>6. I voted Democrat because I&#8217;m not<br />concerned about millions of babies<br />being aborted so long as we keep all<br />death row inmates alive.</p>
<p>7. I voted Democrat because I think<br />illegal aliens have a right to free<br />health care, education, and Social<br />Security benefits.</p>
<p>8. I voted Democrat because I believe<br />that business should not be allowed to<br />make profits for themselves. They need<br />to break even and give the rest away<br />to the government for redistribution<br />as the Democrats see fit.</p>
<p>9. I voted Democrat because I believe<br />liberal judges need to rewrite the<br />Constitution every few days to suit<br />some fringe kooks who would never get<br />their agendas past the voters.</p>
<p>10. I voted Democrat because I think<br />that it&#8217;s better to pay billions to<br />people who hate us for their oil, but<br />not drill our own because it might<br />upset some endangered beetle or<br />gopher.</p>
<p>11. I voted Democrat because, while we<br />live in the greatest, most wonderful<br />country in the world, I was promised<br />&#8220;HOPE AND CHANGE&#8221;.</p>
<p>12. I voted Democrat because my head<br />is so firmly planted up my rear-end, it&#8217;s<br />unlikely that I&#8217;ll ever have another<br />point of view.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>I got this in an email tonight, and thought it worth passing on. I was a little taken aback by the stats, but after I thought about it, I realized that it was true. I remember hearing and reading about all the &#8220;percentages&#8221;, and the &#8220;firsts&#8221; listed, just not at one time. Thankfully Mr. Carroll kept track and put them down in one spot, so to say. It&#8217;s when they&#8217;re all read at one time that one see&#8217;s how bad things have gotten under Obama. I <strong>hope</strong> there is a <strong>change</strong> in the White House come the next election.</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>by Rich Carroll</p>
<p>Copy this article. You will need researched material to mail your liberal friends and/or relatives.</p>
<p>Mr. Hope and Change wants to create a nation humbled; humiliated, casting-aside capitalism and individual freedoms for one where we the people are government controlled. This would be a system that genuflects mediocrity, steals personal aspiration and opportunity, and punishes those who strive to succeed.</p>
<p>A gallon of regular gasoline the day Obama was inaugurated was $1.79 on average in the U.S. Today that price is $3.59, a 100.6% increase. The number of food stamp recipients has risen since Obama took office from 31,983,716 to 43,200,878, a 35.1% jump. Long term unemployment soared 146.2% during the same 32 month period from 2,600,000 to 6,400,000. Staggering hope and change isn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>American citizens living in poverty have risen 9.5% from 39,800,000 to 43,600,000, and the number of unemployed has jumped almost 25% from 11,616,000 to 14,485,000 as of August 31, 2011. The number of unemployed blacks has risen from 12.6% at the end of George Bush&#8217;s term to 15.8% today, a 25.4% increase, and finally, our national debt is up 34.4% from 10.627 trillion to 14,278 trillion *</p>
<p>Keep these figures in mind as we recount the number of firsts for this presidency:</p>
<p>First President to refuse to show a valid birth certificate.</p>
<p>First President to apply for college aid as a foreign student, then deny he was a foreigner.</p>
<p>First President to have a social security number from a state he has never lived in.</p>
<p>First President to preside over a cut to the credit rating of the United States .</p>
<p>First President to violate the War Powers Act.</p>
<p>First President to be held in contempt of court for illegally obstructing oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico .</p>
<p>First President to defy a Federal Judges court order to cease implementing the Health Care Reform Law.</p>
<p>First President to require all Americans to purchase a product from a third party.</p>
<p>First President to spend a trillion dollars on shovel-ready jobs and later admit there was no such thing as shovel-ready jobs.</p>
<p>First President to abrogate bankruptcy law to turn over control of companies to his union supporters.</p>
<p>First President to by-pass Congress and implement the Dream Act through executive fiat.</p>
<p>First President to order a secret amnesty program that stopped the deportation of illegal immigrants across the U.S. , including those with criminal convictions.</p>
<p>First President to demand a company hand-over $20 billion to one of his political appointees.</p>
<p>First President to terminate Americas ability to put a man in space.</p>
<p>First President to encourage racial discrimination and intimidation at polling places.</p>
<p>First President to have a law signed by an auto-pen without being present.</p>
<p>First President to arbitrarily declare an existing law unconstitutional and refuse to enforce it.</p>
<p>First President to threaten insurance companies if they publicly speak-out on the reasons for their rate increases.</p>
<p>First President to tell a major manufacturing company in which state they are allowed to locate a factory.</p>
<p>First President to file lawsuits against the states he swore an oath to protect (AZ, WI, OH, IN)</p>
<p>First President to withdraw an existing coal permit that had been properly issued years ago.</p>
<p>First President to fire an inspector general of Ameri-corps for catching one of his friends in a corruption case.</p>
<p>First President to appoint 45 Czars to replace elected officials in his office.</p>
<p>First President to golf 73 separate times in his first two and a half years in office.</p>
<p>First President to hide his medical, educational and travel records.</p>
<p>First President to win a Nobel Peace Prize for doing NOTHING to earn it.</p>
<p>First President to coddle American enemies while alienating Americas allies.</p>
<p>First President to publicly bow to Americas enemies while refusing to salute the U.S. Flag.</p>
<p>First President to go on multiple global apology tours.</p>
<p>First President to go on 17 lavish vacations, including date nights and Wednesday evening White House parties for his friends, paid for by the taxpayer.</p>
<p>First President to refuse to wear the U.S. Flag lapel pin.</p>
<p>First President to have 22 personal servants (taxpayer funded) for his wife.</p>
<p>First President to keep a dog trainer on retainer for $102,000.00 a year at taxpayer expense.</p>
<p>First President to repeat the Holy Qur&#8217;an tells us, and openly admit the early morning call of the Azan (Islamic call to worship) is the most beautiful sound on earth.</p>
<p>Remember that 32 months of Obama White House we the people have accumulated national debt at a rate more than 27 times as fast as during the rest of our nation&#8217;s entire history, as the Obama&#8217;s plan their next extravagant vacation to the Indonesian Island nation of Bali .</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>The following is from someone at the Washington Post. I remember when Obama said these things. I tried telling my friends about this, but the liberals denied this and keep worshiping Obama, like a bunch of lemmings.</em></p>
<p><b>Yes, he told us in advance what he planned to do.&nbsp; Few were listening</b>.
<p><b>The following is a narrative taken from a 2008 Sunday morning televised &#8220;Meet The Press.&#8221; </b>
<p><b>From Sunday&#8217;s 07 Sept. 2008, 11:48:04 EST,&nbsp; Televised &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; THE THEN Senator Obama</b> <b>was asked about his stance on the American Flag.</b>
<p><b></b>
<p><b>General Bill Ginn, USAF (ret.), asked Obama to explain WHY he doesn&#8217;t follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.</b>
<p><b>The General stated to Obama that according to the&nbsp; United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171&#8230;</b>
<p><b>During rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present (except those in uniform) are expected to stand at attention, facing the flag, with the right hand over the heart.&nbsp; Or, at the very least, &#8220;Stand and Face It&#8221;.</b>
<p><b><br /></b>
<p><b>NOW GET THIS !!</b>
<p><b></b>
<p><b>&#8216;Senator&#8217;</b><b>Obama replied:</b>
<p><b><br /></b>
<p><b>&#8220;As I&#8217;ve said about the flag pin, I don&#8217;t want to be perceived as taking sides&#8230;.&#8221;&nbsp; &#8220;There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression&#8230;.&#8221;&nbsp; &#8220;The anthem itself conveys a war-like message.&nbsp; You know, the bombs bursting in air, and all that sort of thing.&#8221;</b>
<p><b><br /></b>
<p><b>(ARE YOU READY FOR THIS???)</b>
<p><b><br /></b>
<p><b>Obama continued:, &#8220;The National Anthem should be &#8216;swapped&#8217; for something less parochial and less bellicose.&nbsp; I like the song &#8216;I&#8217;d Like To Teach the World To Sing.&#8217;&nbsp;&nbsp; If that were our anthem, then I might salute</b><b> </b><b>it.&nbsp;&nbsp; In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem</b><b> </b><b>as well as &#8216;redesign&#8217; our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love.</b><b> </b><b>It&#8217;s my intention, if elected, to disarm&nbsp; America </b><b>to the level of acceptance</b><b> </b><b>to our&nbsp; Middle East&nbsp; Brethren.&nbsp;&nbsp; If we, as a Nation of waring people, conduct ourselves like the nations of Islam, where peace prevails &#8211; - &#8211; perhaps a</b><b> </b><b>state or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments &#8230;..&#8221;</b>
<p><b>&#8220;When I become President, I will seek a pact of agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts . We as a Nation, have placed upon the nations of Islam, an unfair injustice, which is WHY my wife disrespects the Flag, and she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past.&#8221;</b>
<p><b>&#8220;Of course now, </b><b>I have found myself about to become the President of the </b><b>United States and I have put my hatred aside</b><b>.&nbsp; I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path.&nbsp; </b><b>My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country&#8217;s First black Family.&nbsp; Indeed, </b><b>CHANGE is about to overwhelm the </b><b>United States of America.&#8221;</b>
<p><b><br /></b>
<p><b><u>WHAAAAAAAT,is that???</u></b>
<p><b>Yes, you read it right.</b>
<p><b>I, for one, am speechless!!!</b>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinborough , had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior: <br />&#8220;A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up<br />until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship.&#8221; </p>
<p>&#8220;The average age of the world&#8217;s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence: <br />From bondage to spiritual faith; <br />From spiritual faith to great courage; <br />From courage to liberty; <br />From liberty to abundance; <br />From abundance to complacency; <br />From complacency to apathy; <br />From apathy to dependence; <br />From dependence back into bondage.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Obituary follows:<br />Born 1776, Died 2012&nbsp; </p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t hurt to read this several times.</p>
<p>Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in&nbsp; St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the last<br />Presidential election: <br />Number of States won by:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Obama: 19&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; McCain: 29 <br />Square miles of land won by:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Obama: 580,000&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; McCain: 2,427,000 <br />Population of counties won by:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Obama: 127 million&nbsp; McCain: 143 million <br />Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:&nbsp; Obama: 13.2<br />McCain: 2.1&nbsp; </p>
<p>Professor Olson adds: &#8220;In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.<br />Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low income tenements and living off various forms of government welfare&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Olson believes the&nbsp; United States&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; is now somewhere between the<br />&#8220;complacency and apathy&#8221; phase of Professor Tyler&#8217;s definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation&#8217;s population already having reached the &#8220;governmental dependency&#8221; phase.</p>
<p>If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal<br />invaders called illegal&#8217;s &#8211; and they vote &#8211; then we can say goodbye to the USA&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; in fewer than five years. </p>
<p>This is truly scary! Of course we are not a democracy, we are a Constitutional&nbsp;&nbsp; Republic . Someone should point this out to Obama.<br />Of course we know he and too many others pay little attention to The Constitution. There couldn&#8217;t be more at stake than on Nov 2012.</p>
