This bonehead and cowardice move has made a lasting “impression” on the devastated Krentz family because Robert Krentz was brutally murdered by an illegal immigrant who crossed the border into Arizona.<br /><br />Bumbling Obama has not responded to this attack on an American citizen, instead he sent transgendered Janet Napolitano to tell Arizonians that “the border is more secure than ever.” Unfortunately, as the Krentz family buries their loved one, they know that the borders are wide open and Napolitano is a liar.<br /><br />I wonder if the illegal alien who killed an American citizen was crossing the border to sign up for healthcare!<br /><br />Arizona Rancher's Killing Sparks Calls to Beef Up Border Security<br />http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/03/29/arizona-ranchers-killing-sparks-calls-beef-border-security/<br /><br />FOXNews.com <br /><br />Three members of New Mexico's congressional delegation have asked for an increase in the Border Patrol's presence, and former Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo called on Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to dispatch the National Guard to the Arizona border<br /><br /> <br />Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is under pressure to beef up border security in the Southwest in the wake of Saturday's killing of a rancher in southeastern Arizona.<br /><br />Three members of New Mexico's congressional delegation have asked for an increase in the Border Patrol's presence in the Boot Heel of New Mexico, about 10 miles from where the rancher was shot to death over the weekend. U.S. Sens. Jeff Bingaman and Tom Udall, along with Rep. Harry Teague, say Napolitano's agency needs to take more security steps.<br /><br />And former Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo, an outspoken opponent of illegal immigration, called on Napolitano to "reject politics and do the right thing" by dispatching the National Guard to the Arizona border.<br /><br />Cochise County Sheriff's Office deputies and detectives responded to an area northeast of Douglas on Saturday after searchers found the body of 58-year-old Robert Krentz inside his all terrain vehicle on his property. Detectives were able to determine that Krentz apparently came upon one person when he was fatally shot and his dog was wounded.<br /><br />Cochise County investigators said Monday that Krentz likely was killed by an illegal immigrant, but there's no evidence to suggest there was any confrontation that led to the shooting.<br /><br />Bingaman, Udall and Teague urged a forward operating station for the Border Patrol in the region. Such outposts put agents closer to the international border. Teague -- whose district includes the border area -- says a station in the Antelope Wells area would better protect people and property.<br /><br />Tancredo, who attended a Tea Party event over the weekend in Arizona, blasted Napolitano for not doing more to secure the border.<br /><br />“As governor of Arizona, Napolitano deployed the National Guard to help the Border Patrol do its job… Three days ago, Napolitano told an audience at Arizona State University that the border is more secure than ever," Tancredo said Sunday through his Rocky Mountain Foundation. "I challenge her -- no, I dare her -- to come to this community and try to sell that lie.”<br /><br />U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., whose Congressional district covers the area, described the rancher as a pillar of the community who was recently inducted into the Arizona Farming and Ranching Hall of Fame.<br /><br />"The cold-blooded killing of an Arizona rancher is a sad and sobering reminder of the threats to public safety that exist in our border communities," Giffords said. "It has not yet been determined who committed this atrocity or why, but I know that federal and local authorities are mobilizing every possible resource to locate and apprehend the assailant."<br /><br />Giffords said if Krentz's killing is connected to drug cartels or smugglers, the federal government must respond appropriately.<br /><br />"All options should be on the table, including sending more Border Patrol agents to the area and deploying the National Guard," Giffords said.<br /><br />Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard said government has a clear responsibility to aid law enforcement resources at all levels along the border.<br /><br />"I call on our federal and state governments to work together to bolster the law enforcement resources needed to better protect Arizonans living on the border," Goddard said<br /><br />U.S. Border Patrol spokesman Omar Candelaria told the Arizona Daily Star that if Krentz's killing was tied to such border crime, it would be a first for the area, to his recollection.<br /><br />At a news conference Monday, Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever said Krentz was out checking water line and fencing on the land Krentz's family has ranched since 1907. Dever says Krentz had weapons with him in his all-terrain vehicle but didn't use them.<br /><br />Investigators say Krentz apparently came upon one person when he was shot. While Krentz was still in his vehicle, mortally wounded, he managed to drive the ATV away from the scene at a high rate of speed before becoming unconscious.<br /><br />Sheriff's deputies, U.S. Border Patrol trackers and Department of Corrections dog chase teams followed footsteps approximately 20 miles south to the Mexican border. No suspects have been apprehended.<br /><br />The Associated Press contributed to this report.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536233956609795983.post-63605448780927294012010-04-02T10:28:00.001-04:002010-04-02T10:30:27.881-04:00Drinking with Bob Rants About Obamanation<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbU1wXeUN8u5pfCADtjpoZnz4qmF0KR0qHA5qbVNVaRqGjzbeUE2-6MQ2r_H5ZV6H3OTMHQAbUB5cA_oSRZ1k5o_rXeZCp96rKnWE_MrcsMUa0Puy5YreLypHHmj3Av0-pHLyp3DDlQTnV/s1600/bobRANT122007.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 100px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbU1wXeUN8u5pfCADtjpoZnz4qmF0KR0qHA5qbVNVaRqGjzbeUE2-6MQ2r_H5ZV6H3OTMHQAbUB5cA_oSRZ1k5o_rXeZCp96rKnWE_MrcsMUa0Puy5YreLypHHmj3Av0-pHLyp3DDlQTnV/s400/bobRANT122007.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455547259447812066" /></a><br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/D7_ey2qrxeA&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/D7_ey2qrxeA&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br /> the least amount of effort reaps the most rewards...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536233956609795983.post-87034365117352353662010-04-01T09:11:00.002-04:002010-04-01T09:13:24.784-04:00Joe Biden is F&^*ing Moron<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwnX5XAgfU9FOL7p6kHvTuY9Snl2CYduOm4Vnb_8WdMyxqW1G5h16FStR6Bgd9vMn-unIaQuvs071u85vUbJofT7U76wTulxQWD_hPP8bE3_ue4rAzRUEC_0Vpdsi0QVL4-E3Fn5FXnY0P/s1600/128669466275667633.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 270px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwnX5XAgfU9FOL7p6kHvTuY9Snl2CYduOm4Vnb_8WdMyxqW1G5h16FStR6Bgd9vMn-unIaQuvs071u85vUbJofT7U76wTulxQWD_hPP8bE3_ue4rAzRUEC_0Vpdsi0QVL4-E3Fn5FXnY0P/s400/128669466275667633.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455156437572221618" /></a><br /><br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ic2eEcnwghU&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ic2eEcnwghU&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536233956609795983.post-18116855174331956912010-04-01T09:07:00.002-04:002010-04-01T09:08:40.268-04:00Drinking with Bob Rants About Joe Biden<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8kqTD5VjiySQwWLADJZ1wpdxlIK1b9e1n0LXoe4lx6NM3ctXmv7hCe7yGXBzv1y3Py25iVbVtHURzpfBNlWIC-c_54fpLphKzmRkJXS2qNXdnoV8jH7FtzPtZtyCEMVLozMojVs5K6bvY/s1600/bobRANT122007.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 100px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8kqTD5VjiySQwWLADJZ1wpdxlIK1b9e1n0LXoe4lx6NM3ctXmv7hCe7yGXBzv1y3Py25iVbVtHURzpfBNlWIC-c_54fpLphKzmRkJXS2qNXdnoV8jH7FtzPtZtyCEMVLozMojVs5K6bvY/s400/bobRANT122007.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455155144225574114" /></a><br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6oEesuTDzoU&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6oEesuTDzoU&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br /> We pay millions of dollars a year to an organization called the FCC to make sure they keep profanity off of the airwaves. <br /><br />Yet, apparently the majority of people in this country (including the Vice-President) aren't offended by profanity on the airwaves.<br /><br />So, WHY are we paying the FCC at all.

A perfect example is what Councilman Eric Ulrich did this Sunday in Richmond Hill. According to a local parade coordinator, Eric was invited to participate in a parade to honor the Indian community during their Phagwah Parade but ignored posted parking signs.<br /><br />Phagwah, or Holi, is the Indo-Caribbean Hindu celebration of the New Year. <br />Every spring, the Sunday after the first full moon of the Hindu calendar, Phagwah literally paints the streets while children and families "color" one another with dye and powder to chase away the winter grays. The spirit--and high-jinks--is like that of Carnival.<br /><br />Well Councilman Ulrich was taking part in the festivities and he thought he was above the law and parked his car illegally in an area that would disrupt the parade. I guess he thought that his Police Shield in his window would protect hit but according to witnesses it did not. As a result of his illegal parking, his car was appropriately towed.<br /><br />Looks like Councilman Ulrich and his elected friends need to realize that just because they are elected they are not above the law!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536233956609795983.post-30805779944083128202010-03-11T06:56:00.002-05:002010-03-11T07:21:47.008-05:00Monserrate, "Si Se Puede!"<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTAd5V16VotPaNM0aqBBwl1AZ4E27rA91DHQRd8HIIR8Qp6FXZS1qx-TWoPzKs_l080aAARMbBI2lF_Htul61LtFWw8VSz-QmH735RYKeF1vzC8BjGValFjtN-7ELt297DWxclVxwFeWDZ/s1600-h/031010hiram2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 146px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447345859438625474" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTAd5V16VotPaNM0aqBBwl1AZ4E27rA91DHQRd8HIIR8Qp6FXZS1qx-TWoPzKs_l080aAARMbBI2lF_Htul61LtFWw8VSz-QmH735RYKeF1vzC8BjGValFjtN-7ELt297DWxclVxwFeWDZ/s400/031010hiram2.jpg" /></a><br /><br />I'm no detective nor am I an expert in plagiarizing, but the Obama logo and Monserrate campaign logo look eerily similar.

Not in American Courts where lawyers work to find legal loopholes for foreign enemy combatants who kill Americans.<br /><br /><br />CNSNews.com<br />Reading Miranda Rights to Terrorists Is 'Crazy' and 'Stupid,' Say GOP Congressmen<br />Thursday, June 18, 2009<br />By Bridget Miller and Edwin Mora <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />President Barack Obama (AP Photo) <br />(CNSNews.com) – The Justice Department confirmed last week that FBI agents in Afghanistan are reading Miranda warnings to suspected terrorists captured there, a practice that Republican congressmen this week branded as "crazy" and "stupid."<br /><br />Miranda warnings were mandated by a U.S. Supreme Court decision that said domestic law enforcement agencies must inform criminal suspects arrested in the United States of their rights under the 5th Amendment.<br /><br />"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law," says the typical Miranda warning. "You have the right to an attorney present during questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you. Do you understand these rights?"<br /><br />The Obama administration's decision to make this statement to terror suspects captured on the battlefield in a foreign country has sparked outrage among several Republicans in Congress who spoke with CNSNews.com. It also contradicts what President Barack Obama said in March, when he indicated that Miranda rights did not apply to terror suspects captured overseas.<br /><br />Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), as first reported in The Weekly Standard, said he was recently in Afghanistan and personally witnessed FBI agents reading the Miranda warning to captured combatants. <br /><br />“I was a little surprised to find it taking place when I showed up because we hadn’t been briefed on it, I didn’t know about it,” said Rogers. “We’re still trying to get to the bottom of it, but it is clearly a part of this new global justice initiative.” <br /><br />“Anytime that you offer confusion in that environment that’s already chaotic and confusing enough, you jeopardize a soldier’s life,” said Rogers.<br /><br />On Capitol Hill, Rep. John Boozman (R-Ark.) agreed with Rogers and told CNSNews.com: “I think it’s the craziest idea I’ve ever heard in my life, and I think my constituents at home in Arkansas are beyond shock. There’s just no rhyme or reason for it -- it makes no sense at all. We have so many guys that are out there risking their lives, trying to do the best they can, and then to try to put this added burden on them at a time when you’re at war -- like I said it’s crazy. It’s beyond belief.” <br /><br />Rep. Sam Johnson (R-Texas) also disagreed with the policy of reading the Miranda warning to captured enemy fighters. “I think it’s a terrible, it’s a terrible idea. They’re not American citizens, for starters. They’re combating-foreigners that are against us in every way. They don’t even wear the uniform, most of them. They’re terrorists. And they should not have the same privileges as the citizens of the United States. That’s where I stand,” Johnson told CNSNews.com.<br /><br />Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) strongly disapproved of giving these rights to detainees saying, “I think it’s outrageous. They’re not criminal defendants, and if that’s the way this administration is heading, I think it’s a terrible direction.”<br /><br />“They’re not criminal defendants, they’re enemies of war captured on the battlefield, and they need to be treated as such,” said McCaul. “What we’re doing is going back to the Clinton years and going through the courts and making criminal defendants, reading them Miranda rights, they’re asking for lawyers over in Afghanistan on the battlefield. … Whether they’re down in Guantanamo, I saw Khalid Sheik Mohammad down there. He’s an enemy of the United States, an enemy of war. And the idea of giving them Constitutional rights, bringing them into the United States and giving them Constitutional rights is just outrageous. To extend that to the battlefield now, where they’re being captured in a time of war, and force our soldiers to give them Miranda rights, we’ve never seen this in the history of this country, and it’s a bad, dangerous precedent to go down.”<br /><br />Rep. John Carter (R-Texas), whose nickname on Capitol Hill is “Judge” for having served criminal district judge for 20 years prior to entering Congress, said that a terrorist act should be treated differently than a DUI.<br /><br />“I spent 20 years as a criminal district judge, and I firmly believe that they [captured terrorists] are not entitled to have Miranda rights. Their rights are defined in other ways, they are not defined by our Constitution,” said Carter. “They are treating these people as if they are committing a crime inside the United States, and not as warriors against our soldiers,” Carter told CNSNews.com. “And yet they are warriors against our military.” <br /><br />Rep. Robert A. Brady (D-Pa.) said he was not familiar with the new policy and therefore could not comment. “I haven’t seen that -- if I see it, I can comment on it, but I don’t know anything about it,” he told CNSNews.com.<br /><br />President Barack Obama was interviewed on CBS’s 60 Minutes on March 22. During that interview he was asked about the captured terror suspects being held in Guantanamo Bay. Obama said: “The whole premise of Guantanamo, promoted by Vice President Cheney, was that somehow the American system of justice was not up to the task of dealing with these terrorists. I fundamentally disagree with that. Now, do these folks deserve Miranda rights? Do they deserve to be treated like a shoplifter down the block? Of course not.”Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536233956609795983.post-56120245533753900552010-03-10T18:38:00.002-05:002010-03-10T18:40:03.262-05:00Drinking With Bob Rants Census<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh653fAV2aWL6Fp1QDRoyG3bicCo49Ox391mH62zVuVs5FovJ10dxxdUTSYwjqMt86bTph8JHnIdbdkSKkYRZu83nM-ivN4FAx59do3SP4CP1_9EKX_hXW1eJgVybc2-gdEkHc0F7HaA1J-/s1600-h/bobRANT122007.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 100px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh653fAV2aWL6Fp1QDRoyG3bicCo49Ox391mH62zVuVs5FovJ10dxxdUTSYwjqMt86bTph8JHnIdbdkSKkYRZu83nM-ivN4FAx59do3SP4CP1_9EKX_hXW1eJgVybc2-gdEkHc0F7HaA1J-/s400/bobRANT122007.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447153859232570578" /></a><br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/trAm8Gx55lM&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/trAm8Gx55lM&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />The Government can't even run something a simple as the freaking census!!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536233956609795983.post-22853429890350636532010-03-09T06:33:00.004-05:002010-03-09T07:08:05.934-05:00Christine Quinn Defines "Real" Irish Folk<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKsOClmrpig9Y9W1CevYmfrzZaD8AsgYrD28kyT2W3PSQvV4BXOgTlGFGKBjy630YSseW-_ELt_kyhmcaS36Hi1O95oAzUiQgwAaKJ2UsztfWNi7yQwTNLyOlDu1CJzxAXgLtJ2nYsyddT/s1600-h/!cid_5AD07B6D-576A-47C2-BA7B-96238759FBAC.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKsOClmrpig9Y9W1CevYmfrzZaD8AsgYrD28kyT2W3PSQvV4BXOgTlGFGKBjy630YSseW-_ELt_kyhmcaS36Hi1O95oAzUiQgwAaKJ2UsztfWNi7yQwTNLyOlDu1CJzxAXgLtJ2nYsyddT/s400/!cid_5AD07B6D-576A-47C2-BA7B-96238759FBAC.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446604215594489010" /></a><br /><br />Scandal plagued Speaker Christine "Slush Fund" Quinn has took it upon herself on NY1to define who are the "real" irish folk.

What made the speech even more frightening was the botox grimaces on the faces of Speaker of the House Nancy Bella Legosi, VP Joe Bye Bye Biden accented by the Democrats straining to stand up and clap for Obama's load of crap!<br /><br />Obama's 2010 State of the Union address fact-checked<br /><br />"We've excluded lobbyists from policymaking jobs or seats on federal boards and commissions. But we cannot stop there. It's time to require lobbyists to disclose each contact they make on behalf of a client with my administration or Congress."<br /><br />ANALYSIS<br /><br />Some good-government advocates say the Obama administration's rules on lobbyists, while well-intended, have limited value and unintended consequences. Some Washington power brokers skirt the rules by simply declining to register as lobbyists, even when their day-to-day work is often hard to distinguish from lobbying.<br /><br />Former Senate majority leader Tom Daschle, for instance, works for a major Washington lobbying firm, Alston & Bird, but navigates around the rules that would require him to register as a lobbyist. The declining tally of registered lobbyists since Congress passed lobbying reforms in 2007 suggests that many similar firms have taken a similar approach.<br /><br />Meanwhile, the rules have meant that the White House has had to turn away some well-regarded people who lobby on behalf of non-corporate causes.<br /><br />"We cut taxes. We cut taxes for 95 percent of working families. We cut taxes for small businesses. We cut taxes for first-time home buyers. We cut taxes for parents trying to care for their children. We cut taxes for 8 million Americans paying for college. As a result, millions of Americans had more to spend on gas and food and other necessities. . . . And we haven't raised income taxes by a single dime on a single person."<br /><br />ANALYSIS<br /><br />The Obama administration did cut taxes for most families as part of the stimulus package, which included more than $100 billion in "Making Work Pay" tax cuts for lower- and middle-income families. The reason that he had to emphasize the tax cut Wednesday, though, is that many are unaware they received it because it was spread out across the year in people's paychecks instead of given in a single lump sum.<br /><br />The thinking behind that approach was that it would make people more likely to spend the money, instead of squirreling it away. But the downside is that, for many, the tax cut remained under the radar.<br /><br />President Obama has proposed raising income taxes on the wealthy in the coming years. He also favors the taxing of certain health insurance plans -- which could be passed on to some employees in the form of higher premiums.<br /><br />"North Korea now faces increased isolation and stronger sanctions -- sanctions that are being vigorously enforced. . . . That is why the international community is more united and the Islamic Republic of Iran is more isolated. And as Iran's leaders continue to ignore their obligations, there should be no doubt: They, too, will face growing consequences."<br /><br />ANALYSIS<br /><br />North Korea last year tested a nuclear weapon and tested missiles, and Obama has been unable to coax it back to six-nation disarmament talks.<br /><br />And Iran has proven deeply disappointing to administration officials. Obama issued an unusual message at the Persian new year; wrote two letters to the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei; and made a bold offer to assist Iran with an ailing medical research reactor. Yet his outreach to end three decades of estrangement has been greeted with indifference or scorn by Tehran's leaders.<br /><br />Obama claims the "international community is more united" but does not mention that China, a veto-wielding member of the U.N. Security Council, is highly skeptical of new sanctions.<br /><br />"I've called for a bipartisan fiscal commission, modeled on a proposal by Republican Judd Gregg and Democrat Kent Conrad. . . . The commission will have to provide a specific set of solutions by a certain deadline. Yesterday, the Senate blocked a bill that would have created this commission. So I will issue an executive order that will allow us to go forward."<br /><br /><br />ANALYSIS<br /><br />Obama did not mention the credibility problems that a commission created by executive order would face, even among Democrats who support the idea. Deficit hawks, in particular, have challenged whether such a committee's recommendations would be guaranteed an up-or-down vote in Congress, and Obama and House leaders have thus far been unable to satisfy that concern.<br /><br />A larger problem is the threat by key Republicans to boycott the panel. Gregg, a senator from New Hampshire and an ardent advocate of a fiscal commission, has derided a presidentially appointed commission as little more than political cover for Democrats on the deficit.<br /><br />Regardless of how such a commission is formed, it would not make its recommendations -- and lawmakers would not have to take a position on potentially painful tax hikes and spending cuts in popular social programs -- until after November's midterm elections.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536233956609795983.post-48288327965254181182010-01-28T08:01:00.003-05:002010-01-28T08:04:38.319-05:00Drinking With Bob Rants About Massachussetts<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwwxX9DaTSCsEBT8mhpkesH2J7W-XzbQ5YuNWaW5Y36dtGAdAOMp3iwn_jL6m0zoAsQWnFga2fwnnYPbDwrR9YGNQCJN0yTAgOOCkN6nhqOwMC3OGr-Il17ECmNm-ZXlmRe9TYykbrTCFy/s1600-h/bobRANT122007.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 100px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwwxX9DaTSCsEBT8mhpkesH2J7W-XzbQ5YuNWaW5Y36dtGAdAOMp3iwn_jL6m0zoAsQWnFga2fwnnYPbDwrR9YGNQCJN0yTAgOOCkN6nhqOwMC3OGr-Il17ECmNm-ZXlmRe9TYykbrTCFy/s400/bobRANT122007.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431775263542907314" /></a><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YyuRNn8dmes&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YyuRNn8dmes&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />after what happened in Massachusetts, Snookie from the jersey Shore has a better chance of getting elected president in 2012 than barack Obama does.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536233956609795983.post-84902163276107163902010-01-27T07:08:00.003-05:002010-01-27T07:16:06.570-05:00Hussein Obama Gets rid of "In God We Trust"<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimC5WbtPzu2oJVxU4rLb-ypRVBq0OqS1dJvgTHabEhyphenhyphenMdd2UzMy4EgqPngZRicMjTMbnGNwXeobdcKVXArV2mWx1N8E70Go0zBkqL4iEi28-SGwpYxHIovK2OKm6SytCh2z1DEVxYJn36s/s1600-h/image001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimC5WbtPzu2oJVxU4rLb-ypRVBq0OqS1dJvgTHabEhyphenhyphenMdd2UzMy4EgqPngZRicMjTMbnGNwXeobdcKVXArV2mWx1N8E70Go0zBkqL4iEi28-SGwpYxHIovK2OKm6SytCh2z1DEVxYJn36s/s400/image001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431390743270856962" /></a><br /><br />Barrack Hussein Obama has allowed the United States Treasury to remove the words "In God We Trust" from the newest minted George Washington dollar.
