The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works -- whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answer is no, programs will end. And those of us who manage the public's dollars will be held to account, to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day, because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.
-- President Barack H. Obama, First Inaugural Address, January 21, 2009

I don't know about youse guys, but this is turning out to be a great week for me. Every time I check the news. the doodoo around Zero is higher and higher. So much nicer thn the outrage a day we've all had to endure for the past 4 and a half years.
That, and today, my bitch of a boss who has been an absolute shit to me, got her comeuppance from her boss, and the reason she got her comeuppance, was because she had been a shit to me since forever.

I made my "diagnosis" that TFG was a pathological liar (as a symptom of the larger issue, which is NPD - narcissistic personality disorder) about a year ago, and have said as much dozens of times on these hallowed pages. Do I get any kind of bonus points?
Remember that video that somebody put out, that showed clips from Obama's "you didn't build that" speech, juxtaposed with the campaign he took out where he earnest assured everybody that he said no such thing?

That's why lying is so dangerous; it's hard to keep track of what lie you told to whomever and when.
Always create a story that hangs together and never tell a different lie to close associates too soon.

We have a sitcom for a president.
He's a stupid tv show like Big Bang Theory or Friends or New Christine.
Sometimes we see funny Obama. Sometimes we see cool Obama. Sometimes we ambitious Obama working towards his dream.
And once in a while when ratings are down, we see...
tonight on a very special Obama...
Obama and the gang deal with an issue that hits close to home...
after tonight, Obama's life
will

No one can figure out why that report appeared today. Harry Reid said it would be ready in 7 - 10 days and a few hours later it landed on their desks. Saw a lot of tweet about that earlier today.

That's a great point. How is it that Obama just heard about an IG investigation covering a potentially huge scandal in his own administration, in the friggin news of all places, 3 days before the report hits the street?

"75 ... I said he was the Anti-Christ in 2007. I win."
You may have been in the right neighborhood, but I still say I got the street and house number on this thing.
That being said, back when people were remarking about how much a certain actor resembled Obama, I thought it was ridiculous, but at the same time I did notice a striking similarity in how Satan is portrayed as a liar who is always sweet-talking and tempting people to do the wrong thing, and this President.

He seems in much too big a hurry to sweep this under the rug.
There's no way a proper and thorough investigation could have been done this quick. Simply not possible. At this point, you'd still be developing witness lists and requesting documents/communications/meeting schedules/phone logs and such.
This is an obvious coverup of something MUCH larger than we currently know of

Then I got re-audited again on the same year's return (2009) for something else they found questionable, have misplaced my explanation packet, then I just got a back tax bill for eight grand I don't have.
That year was the year I got out of the Army with a separation check equal to about a full year's pay, so I made double. I guess that made me middle-class.
I've been under thirty thousand a year take-home for the last three tax years. With the two months a year we always seem to be furloughed at the end of each fiscal year, sometimes way under.
With this bullshit, I cannot help but wonder if my anti-Obama paper trail on the Internet- here, Facebook, the old Free State Wyoming forum when I thought I might move, Arfcom, and so on- might have gotten me on an enemies list I cannot financially afford to be on.
Looks like I have to cash out my one IRA to pay the IRS off.

Republican outrage is predictable, maybe even manageable. Democratic outrage is not.
The dam of solid Democratic solidarity has collapsed, starting with New York Times columnist Maureen DowdÂ’s weekend scolding of the White House over Benghazi, then gushing with the news the Justice Department had sucked-up an absurdly broad swath of Associated Press phone records.
Democrats are privately befuddled by the White HouseÂ’s flat-footed handling of this P.R. and legal mess, blaming a combination of bad timing, hubris and communications ineptitude. The most charitable defense offered up on background is that Obama staffers are scandal virgins, unaccustomed to dealing with a rabid press

One Democrat who likes Obama and has been around town for many years said elected officials in his own party are no different than Republicans: they think the president is distant and unapproachable.
“He has never taken the Democratic chairs up to Camp David to have a drink or to have a discussion,” the longtime Washingtonian said. “You gotta stroke people, and talk to them. It’s like courting: you have to send flowers and candy and have surprises.

Been there. A lady in front of me used her EBT card for groceries and she had long designer acrylic nails ($65 a month easily), fashionable clothes, hair styled and dyed to the nines, and a smart phone. Also, she looked like she hadn't missed too many meals in her life and looked strong as an ox.

Well,
So, let's say OFA has a list of members who wowrk for the IRS.
And let's say that someone from the Chicago HQ of OFA plays golf with Obama one Sunday. Said OFA guy gets a request or suggestion from Obama that perhaps some of these groups are a pain in the neck.
SO, said OFA person sends out an email or makes phone calls (probably the latter since it would leave no paper trail) and asks IRS-employed OFA members to "help out however they can." Rewards are promised. (Check payments from OFA to people in DC.)
So they do their assigned task, and the cannon fodder will probably get fired. But where is the information? Probably in OFA's super-giant computer.
Arrest them all, I say.

Even beyond Benghazi. The Left's most productive sales pitch is opposition to the Wealthy and Powerful. The U.S. government is the most wealthy and powerful entity in the history of man. And the Left works day in and day out to make it more wealthy and powerful.
We should probably mention that as often as possible, no?

How about a Constitutional Amendment?
All actions on the part of the Federal government which are not in keeping with the spirit of the Constitution, as interpreted by originalists, based on textual backing from the framers, shall be illegal, and punishable by incarceration at the military facility in Guantanamo Bay for not less than 15 years.

The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works -- whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answer is no, programs will end. And those of us who manage the public's dollars will be held to account, to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day, because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.
YOU LIE!!!!

I still will argue this point as much as possible.
Anyone who's been in DC for a while knows that Obama hates going to Camp David.
It is too Presidential and stuffy for our "coolest" Preezy. He wants to be adored and you can't do that at Camp D.

Whatever our differences, we are fellow Americans.

We're not tryig to convince the leftists. We need to use this obvious talking point to undercut the left's appeal to the public. To put a finer point on it: The Left implores voters to fear the influence of the Wealthy and Powerful in Washington, while working day in and day out to make Washington more...wealthy and powerful. The Willie Sutton analogy. And it just so happens that the Washington DC area is the most wealthy in the country.
Really, we can't make this a staple of our talking points?

Was just over at Puffho. They are going batshit with the tu quoque BS over the IRS and Bengazhi. I will address the IRS stuff.
They claim that under Bush the IRS went after the NAACP, Greenpeace, and a progressive church in an abusive or discriminatory manner. They conflate this to excuse what their side did.
The church: Preached against the Iraq war. Preaching politics + tax exempt status means you can lose it. So they were right to "threaten" revocation.
NAACP: Passed around an anti George Bush flyer at their convention. Again- possible violation.
Greenpeace: Guilty of "nine deficiencies in the management and practices of Greenpeace USA and warned that "Failure to ensure appropriateness of grant and gift funds could jeopardize the exempt status of {Greenpeace} fund."
In fact Greenpeace USA's two arms, it's 501 c3 Greenpeace Fund and it's 501 c 4 advocacy wing Greenpeace Inc., were told to change their practices "due to the illegal nature" of their activities. "
Other info on non-profits and partisan advocacy.
So as you can see, there was no unfair targeting.

Then
I got re-audited again on the same year's return (2009) for something
else they found questionable, have misplaced my explanation packet, then
I just got a back tax bill for eight grand I don't have.
That
year was the year I got out of the Army with a separation check equal to
about a full year's pay, so I made double. I guess that made me
middle-class.
I've been under thirty thousand a year take-home
for the last three tax years. With the two months a year we always seem
to be furloughed at the end of each fiscal year, sometimes way under.
With
this bullshit, I cannot help but wonder if my anti-Obama paper trail on
the Internet- here, Facebook, the old Free State Wyoming forum when I
thought I might move, Arfcom, and so on- might have gotten me on an
enemies list I cannot financially afford to be on.
Looks like I have to cash out my one IRA to pay the IRS off.

In 91, I got a disabled discharge. I was lump summed {base pay x 2 x # of years - E-% with 11 years = over $30 grand} They took a 1/3d off the top. YEARS later, the IRS letter reached me {too late} to inform me that the were NOT supposed to tax that lump sum. Over 10 grand, poof. FUCK the IRS!!!
