Objective Obama?

Sure, I set it up a certain way.

But no one has offered any evidence that it isn't the proper narrative.

The GOP -is- attacking the country.

Walt

The GOP is doing a much better job of attacking the country than ISIS is doing.

Senate GOP Obstructionists Throw Veterans Under The Bus-Vote Down Bill To Help Vets In Need Of Jobs
9/23/2012 @ 4:29PM

For those who continue to believe that obstructionism at any cost is not the goal of the Senate Republicans, consider the behavior of the GOP Senators who, on Friday, blocked a bi-partisan effort to pass a bill that would put veterans to work in jobs that look after the nation’s federal land while also giving our fighting men and women a leg up when it comes to getting them hired by local police and fire departments.

The legislation would have provided a relatively small allocation of $1 billion in funds to accomplish the goals of the program.

In order to bring the bill to the floor, a procedural vote was required to waive a technical limit placed on such spending as agreed to in Congress during last year’s budgetary fiasco. Despite the sum of money having been fully offset by cuts and modifications to other planned expenditures, Senate Republicans used the required vote to shoot down the proposed legislation as the Democrats, with some Republican assistance, were able to manage only 58 of the 60 votes required to accomplish the waiver.

GOP blocks COLA on benefits for disabled veterans and survivors
September 28, 2012

Despite what has traditionally been overwhelming support both in the past and unanimous support earlier this year in the U.S. House of Representatives, the Chairperson of the U.S. Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs announced on Thursday that at least one Republican Senator was holding up a bill which would provide a cost of living adjustment (COLA) on benefits for disabled veterans and the spouses and children of deceased veterans.

...

Earlier in September Republicans in the Senate blocked a bill which would have helped veterans gain employment. Meanwhile at the end of August President Barack Obama signed an Executive Order improving the mental health services for veterans, military members and their families.

Meet the 40 Senate Republicans Who Betrayed Veterans By Killing $1 Billion in Jobs

Forty Republican members of the United States Senate betrayed veterans today when they decided that denying President Obama a victory was more important than spending $1 billion to create jobs for vets.

The Veterans Job Corps Act of 2012 would have spent $1 billion over five years to put veterans to work tending to federal lands, and in the nation’s police and fire departments. Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) based her plan of FDR’s Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), but Republicans opposed the bill because they said there is no proof that it would work.

Republican Sen. Tom Coburn claimed that there is no evidence that jobs for vets will work, “What we have is a bill that’s brought to the floor that has good intentions behind but shows the absolute laziness of congress in terms of really digging things out.

...

Here are the 40 Republicans who voted to keep America’s veterans unemployed,

Walt

Presidents doing their job enforce the laws of this country. His mismanagement of immigration is costing us billions of dollars in all areas. The IRS reports $10 Billion in EITC fraud. In one example 44,000 tax refund checks were sent to one address in Atlanta. People have observed Hispanics following the mail deliveries to empty mailboxes of refund checks. Locally (NC) a curious homeowner went to the mailbox before the guy could get there and found a treasury check issued to a Latino person. Postal Inspectors say it is a nationwide fraud.
Our emergency rooms are filled with them and nearly 100 of them have closed in the last five years because of losses. A few years ago a Congressman called him a liar during the State Of The Union Speech. It was at the point when he was claiming that Illegals would not receive medical care under the ACA. Two months later Democrats pushed through a bill allotting $25 Million to health care clinics in agricultural areas. Any idea who is using that subsidy?
The impact of these people will hurt us for decades. The US stopped immigration for 50 years in order to allow the those who had come in to prior to 1920 to acculturate and move out fo their ghettos. My neighborhood in Brooklyn Calabrese was heard more than English. That neighborhood is now gone and all Hispanic. In my present home, Charlotte two huge sections of the city have become totally Latino. We have children starting school who were born here who do not speak English when they start school. Because of the continuous high influx of Spanish speakers these areas will never acculturate.
The media has covered up and protected this man from the get go. His "autobiographies are fabricated, he would use the last name of his mentor "Frank" because we would know it was Frank Morgan, a man on the FBI's top 10 list of people to be picked up in a war with the Soviet Union. His mother, father and grandparents were Communists. He has stated that when he started college he immediately looked the Communists on campus. His neighbor William Ayres and his wife Bernadette Dorhn were fugitives for years for bombings and are Communists. Obama denied really knowing the man yet he announced his candidacy at a party in Ayres' home and Ayres wrote the preface to one of his books.
He taught college courses on Saul Alinskie's "Rules For Radicals". (Hilary Clinton wrote her 92 page thesis on them.)
We are teetering on the edge of the destruction of this country and its ideals. Another presidency like this one will finish us off.
The military has been remiss in its duty to the Constitution and should have removed this hater of it long ago.

He is still blocking the Keystone XL pipeline and is now hurting Canada which is slipping into recession.

PO2 Robert Cuminale - A country is over relay on single economical factor will always suffer for the cycle of price change. Russian too in the same situation.

That was actually released by the White House. Are you saying that the president didn't sign such an order?

Wouldn't it be pathetic of you to say that?

Walt

Geez, what is wrong with that guy?

Anybody see this on FOX?

Walt

And this gives the GOP the opportunity to crap on private sector workers, which of course they will do.

You have to be a moron to vote for a GOP candidate - for anything.

Walt

"On this Labor Day holiday, American workers who already get the least paid vacation time of any developed nation in the world and who are taking the fewest days off in four decades, must suffer through (or are treated to) the Republican presidential circus of the 2016 campaign, featuring more than a dozen presidential hopefuls who have demonstrated tone-deafness or outright disdain toward labor.

With a crowded field of 17 candidates, the GOP’s 2016 presidential slate features at least two leading Republican candidates who have risen to right-wing notoriety by pushing laws stripping collective bargaining rights from most public employees and another favorite who insists that Americans should just “work longer hours.” And that’s just a start.

So on this Labor Day, here are 10 times Republican presidential candidates have given American workers a giant middle finger."

SSG Gerhard S. - Oh, Lord above. The price for consumers should be set by the cost of production, which includes a living wage for the people who make it available to the consumer.

Walt

Indeed, my point is that negotiating a ever higher union wage, the cost of production goes up. Of course those workers who got the artificial wage increase are untouched, and even have greater purchasing power when buying goods NOT produced by those with the higher wages. It is the poor that are harmed by the higher prices.
Regarding your meme above... Can you name anyone in office who have argued that people shouldn't be able to choose the Union of their choice?

Name the living wage.... It is a very nebulous term by itself.

Capt Walter Miller - So should some people in the military.

Beyond anything anyone could have dreamed.

He embodies what Dr. King said - "The answer to racism is excellence."

Walt

If you count looting and burning, yes. His involving himself in race cases and influencing DOJ investigations will be legendary. Sending administration personnel to certain funerals and ignoring others has tipped his hand. He sees racism everywhere unless it's Black on White. 400 Blacks are killed by Blacks in Chicago and he ignores it. His Attorney General described himself as Obama's "wingman". He jumps the gun on cases and takes sides before a police report in even filed. He is a nuisance to order.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_More_Perfect_Union_(speech)

Feeling that he had failed to sufficiently address and explain the context of his relationship with the Reverend, Obama began writing the speech that became "A More Perfect Union". Obama's usual speechwriting practice during the 2008 campaign was to discuss major themes with speechwriter Jon Favreau, let Favreau write a draft, and then edit the result.[14] However, on Saturday, March 15, Obama dictated a lengthy draft of this speech to Favreau, who edited the speech the next day. Obama stayed up until 3:00 a.m. Sunday night working on the speech, and continued to work on it Monday and in the early hours of Tuesday. He sent his final draft of the speech to Favreau and campaign strategist David Axelrod.[15] After reading Obama's final draft, Axelrod sent him an email saying "This is why you should be president."[16]

The Russkis have their own problems with internal extremism.

Walt

The Russian problems with extremism are rotted predominantly in Chechnya wherein the common denomintor is also extremist islam. With the collapse of the Soviet Union the problem created was very highly organized crime syndicates. If the same type of events took place in the United States organized crime would expand drastically just as it did throughout the Great Depression. When you take a mans livelihood from him he will turn to almost anything to support the needs of his family. It just so happened that with the collapse of the Soviet Union we saw the primary victims of unemployment in their country were servicemembers and their extremely large intelligence community.

The problem herein is that at this point the people of our nation have forgotten what it is like to be at the bottom of the food chain and the trend of political events and decisions is very similar in some ways to the decisions that the leaders of the other great republics had made to contribute to the downward spiral of there existence. For example the Romans had gotten so comfortable that they let the legions decay on the frontiers and could no longer maintain or defend there territories or people.

Today, we have seen drastic downsizing of our military, certain people wish to share nuclear capabilities with a nation that wants nothing more than the eradication of our culture, certain people began their position of leadership with going on apology tours, and the truth in nature and in life is that if you aren't the alpha at the front of the pack constantly fighting to maintain your position unapologetically you will decay to a position behind and just be another follower.

Read the U6 report from the Dep't of Labor. Every month we lose full time jobs and gain part time jobs. He has done nothing for the civilians either. There are less jobs for Blacks thanks to all the illegals that he has done nothing about. I have not seen a Black on a construction jobs in years. The old masonry and brick laying firms that were largely owned by Blacks are all gone. They couldn't compete with an illegal paying no taxes and employee costs. There are nearly 50,000,000 people on SNAP. More people are on Disability because judges are awarding it in appeals because they know there are no jobs for people in their 50s who lost their jobs. A West Virginia judge was forced to retire last year because he was awarding it to 100% of appeals because the coal mines are being destroyed by the Obama EPA. Under him EPA keeps expanding its mandate and now is trying to take control of privately owned lakes and ponds.
This is government regulation on steroids.

PO2 Robert Cuminale - This is why I only spoke of what I know, Government Employees.

SGT(P) Crystal Marie Gray-Wallace - "With that said he has done a lot for the Civilian job market" That is not what you said. That's why you were given the source of the U6 to investigate. The "civilian job market" is more than government employees.

Certainly not a job for a Community Organizer that never managed a payroll.

You wouldn't want a guy that ran a two man law firm either.

Unless maybe it was Abraham Lincoln.
