In 2008, presidential candidate Barack Obama promised to fundamentally change America. As President, he has succeeded beyond anyone's dreams. We now have a Declaration of Dependence.
Dependency is up 7.5 percent the past two years. Government dependency jumped 8.1 percent in the past year alone. According to data, one in five Americans [20 percent] relies on the federal government for everything from housing and health care to food stamps and college tuition, and even cell phones. In 2011, the federal government paid $1.6 billion to cover the cost of cell phones and the monthly bills of 12.5 million wireless accounts. It is the result of Obama's economic policies. The "hope" of people to keep receiving assistance, the "change" from independent nation to dependent nation.
Obama knows that at least half of the country isn't really paying attention to what his adminsitration is doing. A large number of people just absorb the news headlines they read and believe them without question. These are the people Obama is counting on to vote for him in November.
Secondly, killing Bin Laden would not have stopped the 9/11, by the time he was considered a threat the planning was well advanced. So unless you have information that the 9/11 commission does not then please stop inventing 'facts'. http://www.factcheck.org/2008/01/clinton-passed-on-killing-bin-laden/
http://t.co/lTzmCFs1 http://t.co/OuobohIy woo hoo!
check the link to THOMAS - official publishers of Congressional bills, Senate bills, etc. can't make THAT up! although Clinton tried..... never mind. just check the developing story. It's a wow!
Got this from Obama's campaign. I will post in 2 parts Friend -- The U.S. Senate is supposed to vote on the American Jobs Act as early as tonight. It's a bill that will put people to work immediately, and it contains proposals that members of both parties have said in the past that they'd support. But Senate Republicans want to block it. Not because they have a plan that creates jobs right now -- not one Republican, in Congress or in the presidential race, does. They only have a political plan. Their strategy is to suffocate the economy for the sake of what they think will be a political victory. They think that the more folks see Washington taking no action to create jobs, the better their chances in the next election. So they're doing everything in their power to make sure nothing gets done. There's still time for principled Republican senators to declare their independence from this kamikaze political strategy. Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader in the Senate, needs to hear what Americans like you think. You can reach his office at (202) 224-2541. Tell him not to let politics get in the way of creating jobs. Will you take three minutes and call now? Then click here to let us know how it went.
-- Making sure that those who served our country can get good jobs at home by providing incentives for businesses to hire unemployed veterans? -- Preventing layoffs of teachers, cops, and firefighters, while supporting the hiring of tens of thousands more? -- Rebuilding our crumbling roads, bridges, railways, and airports with a bipartisan, public-private infrastructure bank? -- Modernizing at least 35,000 public schools in rural and urban areas? -- Providing job training for the unemployed, especially young people who have been hit especially hard? The President has been forceful and clear: Action on jobs is desperately needed, and Congress should pass this bill right away. And he has specifically asked those of us who agree to make sure Republican lawmakers know it. This bill -- and the simple idea that every American who works hard and plays by the rules has a fundamental right to economic security -- is a big part of what we stand for as a campaign and as a movement. There's no good reason for Congress to delay any more -- and if they do, you deserve to know why. Call Sen. McConnell's office. Tell him you're watching, and you expect Republicans in the Senate to do the right thing and move forward on this bill today. Then let us know how it went: http://my.barackobama.com/Call-For-Jobs

Let me get this straight. Obama is being impeached and Fox News doesn't report on it because?
O'bummer, but start chilling the bottles.
Why the anger and disrespect???? No matter who wins in November ; we're all in the same boat right? More courtesy here please. You make some good points . Don't ruin them with anger/ personal attacks.
Meanwhile, since you're cutting and pasting from Obama's reelection campaign website, you can be easily identified as one of his campaign's trolls.
President Bush actually increased federal spending by more than 2X as much as Obama has. So it is unfair to lay the explosion in spending at the feet of President Obama: Both presidents are responsible.

He is in the video here where he says he regretted being part of the parade of false information on Iraq that was fed to the UN and Congress. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/americas/2011/09/20119116916873488.html
Ok, maybe padding was too strong a word, maybe embellishing would be more acceptable. Kinda like the difference between slut and trollop, one is so much more polite than the other, right. Take a look at Dan's resume and let me know what you think a proper adjective would be. I hope that Dan in the future has more courtesy also and stops misquoting respected American jurists simply to aid his psuedo-intellectual rants on everything from bio-fuels to ethnic politics in the Middle East. I will say that he has a interested writing style and I usually get sucked into reading it before I realize it is just more of the same. But I don't understand the anger/personal attacks. Dan -Sotomayor is no great scholar and kagan is a self hating Jew - she an R2P'er - Dan - As for Ginsberg- to make the comments she did in Cairo - she should be impeached - "'do not look to the US Constitution - but look to others?"
