Meanwhile….

“Congressional budget analysts are now estimating that nearly 6 million Americans – most of them in the middle class – will have to pay a tax penalty for not getting health insurance once President Barack Obama’s health care law is fully in place.

That’s 2 million more than a previous estimate found, or a 50 percent increase. The average penalty will be nearly $1,200.

Starting in 2014, the new health care law requires virtually every legal resident of the U.S. to carry health insurance, or face a tax penalty. The Supreme Court upheld Obama’s law as constitutional after finding that the penalty fell within the power of Congress to impose taxes.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said today the penalty will raise $6.9 billion when fully in effect in 2016. ”

Before any more bloggers reveal their ignorance about the Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector General, they may just want to hold off posting and read a little about it.
http://www.justice.gov/oig/

“The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) in the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is a statutorily created independent entity [[that means Congress created it]] whose mission is to detect and deter waste, fraud, abuse, and misconduct in DOJ programs and personnel, and to promote economy and efficiency in those programs. The Inspector General, who is appointed by the President subject to Senate confirmation, reports to the Attorney General and Congress. [[Didja catch the "AND CONGRESS" part, bloggers?]] The OIG investigates alleged violations of criminal and civil laws by DOJ employees and also audits and inspects DOJ programs.”

Ok, there was a HUGE screwup. Everyone admits that. Holder was at the top. It’s his responsibility. At best, he was ignorant of a hugely sensitive operation going on in his department and didn’t perjure himself about it.
At worst, he knew about it, did it for political reasons (blame the U.S. for the gun problem in Mexico), and perjured himself.
So the truth is probably somewhere in between those two statements. Nowhere in there does he come out smelling like a rose.

Politico is one of these media organizations (like CBS, the NYT and so on) that really wants to appear objective (even going so far as to accuse its brethren of media bias) when in reality it is not. Bias is easily determined by an organization’s choice of 1) topics 2) headlines and 3) words. So, Politico apparently at one point ran 90 or so stories on Cain, 9 on Solyndra and 3 on Fast and Furious in one week’s time. Media Matters has tried to defend Politico’s objectivity, but I guess that is like Richard Daly claiming Obama is an honest man.

The poll, taken Tuesday, showed 36% of registered voters indicating they would be less likely to vote for Romney after the tapes were released. Twenty percent said they were more likely to vote for Romney, and 43% said the tapes made no difference.

Shoot, I knew that from the get-go. With the country so nearly divided 50-50 it was a foregone conclusion that 50% of the people he was complaining about were Republicans.

“Efforts that promote hard work and personal responsibility over government dependency make America strong. When the economy is growing and Americans are working, everyone involved has a shared sense of achievement, not to mention the basic sense of pride that comes with the paycheck they earn.

However, over the past four years, those kinds of opportunities have been in short supply. We’re experiencing the worst recovery since the Great Depression. Unemployment has been above 8% for 43 straight months; 47 million Americans are on food stamps. Nearly one in six Americans now live in poverty.

Under President Obama, we have a stagnant economy that fosters government dependency. My policies will create a growing economy that fosters upward mobility.

Government has a role to play here. Right now, our nation’s citizens do need help from government. But it is a very different kind of help than what President Obama wants to provide.

My experience has taught me that government works best when it creates the space for individuals and families to pursue success and achieve great things. Economic freedom is the only force that has consistently succeeded in creating sustained prosperity and lifting people out of poverty. It is why our economy rose to rival those of the world’s leading powers — and has long since surpassed them all.

The dreamers and the entrepreneurs, not government, built this economy, and they can once again make it strong.

My course for the American economy will encourage private investment and personal freedom. Instead of creating a web of dependency, I will pursue policies that grow our economy and lift Americans out of poverty.

My five-point plan will deliver the economic recovery we’ve all been waiting for and the jobs millions of Americans still need. This can be more than our hope; it can be our future. And it can start this November with your vote.”

Yea right, just like the Obama administration said that the attack in Libya was a “spontaneous” protest. But just today they are backpeddling on their official story and are close to admitting that it was a planned and co-ordinated attack which they had intellgence about prior to it happening but did nothing about.

Jay, with topic after topic supporting the Obama administration (even in the face of un-ending evidence of its incompetence on both international policy and domestic policy) you seem to positioning yourself for a place in a new state-run media wherein you can’t (and won’t) question your annointed ideoligical leader. All you have to do is write propaganda pieces in support of them and you will have a job, right? Time after time it has been asked of you if you think of yourself as a journalist. And time after time you have not answered the question and that is because you know that you are not. What you are is an un-questioning and obedient puppet for the leftist cause. You question nothing that comes from the Obama administration or any democrat even if presented with evidence contrary of your leftist ideology. You have no real thoughts of your own because if you did, you would most certainly be able to find something to critisize this idiot of a president for but no, you just can’t and won’t do it. You and Luckovich are just another liberal propagandists, nothing more, nothing less.

It’s almost impossible to track something you can’t get access to in the first place. I particularly liked the part where ATF took this case to the AG showing proof that this guy on welfare basically bought $30K worth of guns in a single day. Now where did that money come from. The AG said it couldn’t be proven he was buying them for a trafficer. Who elected this guy?

You seem like a reasonable person. Do you, in your heart of hearts, believe that Holder is innocent of knowing what was going on? Can you honestly say that his hands are not as dirty as the ones that were found out? No, I am not a mind reader. However, after spending nearly 35 years in the military, it was evident that the responsible person in any f*ck up was the Commander of the unit. Holder, even though he was found to be “non complicit”, he was in charge. His head should roll and he should resign or be indicted as a co-conspirator in a fiasco that took the lives of many people. It wouldn’t even be a second thought if he were a military commander. But he should be held to the same standard.

td, if the right had wanted to make the incompetency argument, they might have been on more defensible ground. Instead, as you know too well, they tried to claim that Holder planned it all with direct involvement of Obama as part of a high-level conspiracy to repeal the Second Amendment and yadayadayada.

Having blown that argument, they have no credibility if they now try to fall back upon the much milder incompetence claim.

OK, but what about the 4th estate? You have written many articles about Holder not being guilty of intentionally doing anything wrong but just admitted that he could be incompetent so why are you or other liberal newsmen not leading the way on this approach? Where is the integrity of the media?

From the Huffington Post:

Nonetheless, some people might still decide to remain uninsured because they object to government mandates or because they feel they would come out ahead financially even if they have to pay the penalty. Health insurance is expensive, with employer-provided family coverage averaging nearly $15,800 a year for a family and $4,300 for a single plan. Indeed, insurance industry experts say the federal penalty may be too low.

A simple leftist followed by a less simple leftist. Shows you what’s in store. Government will be subsidizing healthcare even for the $6 million who choose not to buy. Prices are going up, and they will go up. The government can’t afford the coverage even with the penalty.

Not hard to see that taxes will be going up too. WAY up.

Holder held in contempt of Congress. Do we remember that in the news? Heck no! There’s shiny objects everywhere to point out, and they all seem to say “Romney,” “47%” and “top 1%”.

The next thing for the media to do is to pretend that a special prosecutor wasn’t necessary for this. Check–done. Item number two is to pretend that a cabinet member already held in contempt of Congress can be trusted with commissioning his own IG to investigate him. Check–in progress. Third, we need to really try and reelect The One, so that he can pardon Holder without consequences and keep his corrupt attorney general in office.

Obama Gave Entertainment Mag Interview on Peak Day of Embassy Protests

New information reveals President Barack Obama conducted interviews with entertainment magazines and posed for a photo spread last Friday as American embassies burned and 21 countries erupted into anti-American protests.

The interview came to public attention when individuals who work for the magazine tweeted about their visit after the event was over.

Let’s face reality, and once and for all acknowledge that this joker is in over his head and is interested not in you; not in me; not in our country; not in our armed services; not in the poor; not in the blacks; not in the downtrodden; not in his own children’s future; not in his own freaking poverty stricken brother in Kenya; not in America’s perception around the globe; not in our founding principles; not in energy independence; not in job creation; not in national debt; not in one damn thing but himself. That is the truth and if you refuse to accept that and then vote for this man, then shame on you, yes, shame on you.

When Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen and the Government Accountability Institute reported that President Obama has attended less than half of his Presidential Daily Briefs (PDBs) on intelligence, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney called the findings “hilarious.” The next day, U.S. Libyan Ambassador Chris Stevens and three American staff members were murdered.

President Obama has attended less than half of his Presidential Daily Briefs (PDBs) on intelligence, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney called the findings “hilarious.” The next day, U.S. Libyan Ambassador Chris Stevens and three American staff members were murdered.
According to Mr. Carney, Mr. Obama doesn’t need in-person briefings because the president gets the written version on his iPad:

That’s a good thing. As Mr. Thiessen explains, the live briefings are far preferred over the written daily intel reports, because they offer presidents and their advisors an opportunity to drill down into intelligence threats and to challenge assumptions. “This process cannot be replicated on paper,” says Mr. Thiessen.
Still, Mr. Carney owes Mr. Thiessen an apology. Carney said Thiessen’s report was “hilarious” and flippantly dismissed the need for Mr. Obama to attend live intelligence briefings. Then, after four Americans were murdered and Mr. Obama’s foreign policy approval rating plunged, Mr. Obama has now decided to actually start showing up for his daily presidential intelligence briefings, just as Mr. Thiessen urged him to do.

Now this is a dangerous statement by a dangerous man.

UNITED NATIONS – “United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told reporters in New York today that “free speech” has limits, especially when religious beliefs are involved.

“All of this freedom of expression should not be abused by individuals. … Some people abuse this freedom. This effort to provoke, to humiliate others by using (religious) beliefs cannot be protected in such a way.”

UNFETTERED LIBERALISM:

“In an effort to comply with state laws about gender discrimination, a Rhode Island school district has banned father-daughter dances and mother-son baseball games after a single mom complained that her daughter wasn’t able to attend a dance.

The mother filed a complaint with the Rhode Island branch of the American Civil Liberties Union last May, saying that her child felt excluded from the dance because she did not have a father figure to take her. The dance was a longstanding event run by a parent-teacher organization.”

Refuse to produce the requested documents and conduct an “internal investigation”…sounds ethical.

Next thing you know Obama and team will try to stimulate the economy and work out a deal with the Saudis to lower gas prices right before the election.

Romney vows to help the poor when he is talking to the poor but what would he say about the poor if he were talking to a group of the wealthiest? Hmmmmm.

Yea, the poor he was talking to paid $1,000 a plate to get in! Some rich poor people I would say!

Yes facts do matter. And as you say the “truth hurts”

There area times when the “truth” doesn’t match your perception and narrative, so it “hurts”.

I’m just saying that an “internal investigation” by the DOJ – on the DOJ is something that should not be accepted. Another independent group should step in.

bman,

I think the investigation was a good one because we lost a Border Patrol Agent and congress wanted the truth.

He will answer questions for congress tomorrow on C Span if you still have doubt.

I think it is the truth.
