Kinetic Post Modern Ouija Board Diplomacy & Politcal Theatre of the Absurd

Once again in Libya like Afghanistan with the mujaheddin we are contemplating arming those who are more than likely our enemies. Who exactly are we helping and protecting, and who is in command and control of our troops?   


This administration's policy in Libya is more than a few days late and short of an organized coalition has our allies in some cases on different pages than the United States and less than clear or willing to make the contributions as promised. 

At this point one could argue it might be a credible exercise to fire every analyst and bureaucrat in the State Department writing policy and cleaning house at the NSA, NIE and the CIA.

It is fair to say these agencies appear to be wasting our money. When was the last time they were right? Given their track record a Ouija board, or a pin the tail on the donkey game or dart board would be as effective in determining who to arm or who is a reliable partner worthy of our investment of foreign aid dollars.

So far we have fired 170 tomahawks  at Gaddafi's forces, well near a 100 million dollars in missiles alone. That money hasn't bought very much peace or protection for Libyan citizens, or earned us any allies.

Both Democrats and Republicans alike are miffed and unhappy with how the Administration has handled the decision to use military force in Libya, and many  Congressmen are questioning the Constitutionality of the administrations choices for this action.

The Obama Administration is still in the unbelievable process of sorting out just who should be the front man  for the United States at NATO.   John Bolton in this interview said,  "...I do think there's a lingering problem here that could get worse. And that is, his willingness to allow Americans to be put under foreign command. Really, not since World War I, America's first entry under the European stage have we been under the ultimate command of foreigners. We've had interwoven commands in other battles. But he has very casually said, foreigners are going to command this in the next few days. I think that is something Congress ought to debate. I don't think there's a Constitutional issue here but I think there's a real issue of national security in putting our young men and women under foreign command."

It is more than obvious critical thinking is not emanating from either the Obama Administration, the Department of State or the NSA and CIA. Or the other more likely deduction is that the Obama Administration is so busy promoting their Post American Policy they refuse even the most obvious facts.  Facts that do not fit Obama's vile and apologetic vision of America and the World.

On Monday Obama is supposed to address  to the United States, and explain his policy.
 
Looks like the Obama Administration has a very bad case of Ready, Fire, Aim.

A Milestone...Will Ya Still Need Read Me, 'Will Ya Still Need Me When I'm 64'?


I think I look pretty good for an old broad.

Not much of a blog today but I thought I should mark that I have reached a Beatles' milestone, Mr. OK, my most wonderful hubby says that he still loves me the same as he ever did.


We make quite the pair.

A Government Too Big for Our Wallets

Our government is so big we have no idea how many programs we are paying for that duplicate one another.

I do not care what the position is, police firemen what ever there should be not one federally employed union worker.

One of our primary objectives as Tax payers should be to insure that there is no duplication of programs from the local to the Federal level. If my community can do it there should be no matching grants.

This is one of the ways we gotten into so much financial trouble.

If my community can do it and pay for the service my county should not.  If my county provides the service my State should not and if my State provides the service the federal government should not.

If there is some service I think that my community or state should pay for but do not and I feel strongly that I need to have that program or service I should seek out the community that provides it and move there and support their tax system.

Better yet I should find a away to pay for it myself instead of expecting my neighbors to pay my freight.

It takes a village of idiots thinking that they deserve to be coddled from the cradle to the grave by a government to wreak this sort of financial havoc.

The sad thing is we are supporting a good chunk of the world this way and since our ability to export goods and services is crippled by tariffs and taxes by our 'partner nations' it is going to be a long and painful process to straighten out our national financial nightmare. We no longer make things, and our labor force with the jobs (now overseas) that supported the lunacy of care taking the entire world has been shifted off shore.

Soon there may not even be any executive jobs at McDonald's.

Better buy a wheel barrow while you can.

No Justice 'Hole'der Deep Sixes The USS Cole Al Nashiri Trial



On October 12, 2000 theUSS Cole (DDG 67) an Arleigh Burke class destroyer was the target of a terrorist attack in the port of Aden, Yemen, during a scheduled refueling. The attack killed 17 crew members and injured 39 others.




As the 10th Anniversary of the attack on the USS Cole approaches, the Obama administration continues to drag their feet to bring Abd al-Rahim al Nashiri to justice. They have broken solemn promises made to the survivors and crewmates of the USS Cole, and have disregarded US law.

Explanations of the delay are clouded in a haze of no comments, a muttered muddled agenda towards Terrorism that has no rationale and the case has been placed on hold. We are left to ponder what was the reasoning, was it sympathy, appeasement, arrogance or total incompetancy.

Under the leadership of President Obama, and his Justice Department led by Attorney General Eric Holder justice has suffered another black eye. They have once again shown this administrations continuing contempt and an intent to disregard their sworn duty by their unwillingess to confront the Act of War and murder commited by Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, and refusal to either set a date or bring Nashiri to trial before a Military Commission.

Nashiri is a Saudi national al Qaeda operative (what a surprise) who masterminded the bombing attack using a high-explosive powerful enough to rip a large hole (as shown in the picture below) -- 40 feet by 60 feet flooding the main engine spaces of the Cole in the Yemeni port of Aden.


A Guantanamo tribunal was ready to arraign him in 2009, but the Obama administration put the trial on hold, and since they took office, there has been delay after delay, and No trial -- No Justice.

And nearly 10 years later just this last week the White House has inexplicably deep sixed the prosecution.

A remembrance with pictures and the names and ranks of the brave young men and women who proudly served and died on the USS Cole in the attack that day are listed along with their pictures below.

Jennifer Rubin says in this article at Contentions, http://www.commentarymagazine.com/blogs/index.php/rubin/348626

..."The Obama administration has shelved the planned prosecution of Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, the alleged coordinator of the Oct. 2000 suicide attack on the USS Cole in Yemen, according to a court filing.

The decision at least temporarily scuttles what was supposed to be the signature trial of a major al-Qaeda figure under a reformed system of military commissions. And it comes practically on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the attack, which killed 17 sailors and wounded dozens when a boat packed with explosives ripped a hole in the side of the warship in the port of Aden.

What’s the problem?

Military officials said a team of prosecutors in the Nashiri case has been ready go to trial for some time. And several months ago, military officials seemed confident that Nashiri would be arraigned this summer.

“It’s politics at this point,” said one military official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss policy. He said he thinks the administration does not want to proceed against a high-value detainee without some prospect of civilian trials for other major figures at Guantanamo Bay.

Pretty unconscionable stuff, isn’t it? And a final decision on KSM has also been delayed, it is widely assumed, so that the administration need not disclose its intentions before the election. In an administration with plenty of both, this ranks near the top when it comes to hypocrisy and politicizing the administration of justice."

Exactly! What is the problem Mr. President, why the delay?


A video of USS Cole Commander Lippold livid over Obama's Suspension of Bomber's Trial can be found here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUyLk3b5A08&feature=player_embedded

The following was reported in an article at the New York times when President Obama met with the families of both the 9/11 attacks and the families from the USS Cole. In February of 2009, he promised them justice, http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/02/06/obama-meets-with-family-members-of-uss-cole-911-victims/

..."President Obama on Friday assured family members of Americans who were killed in the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole and in the Sept. 11 attacks that the terror suspects will be prosecuted and brought “to a swift and certain justice.”

Mr. Obama met for more than an hour with about 40 relatives of terror victims during an emotional afternoon session in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building near the White House. He explained his rationale for ordering the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to be closed within a year, but pledged that the terror cases would be reviewed and handled through the courts."


In a far cry from President Obama's promise, according to this link, I believe it will be a cold day in hades before this murderer is brought to trial and the families and crew recieve any justice from their government.

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2010/08/us-halts-prosecution-of-al-qaeda-suspect-in-uss-cole-attack/1 ..."The Justice Department said this week in a filing with the U.S. Court of Appeals for D.C. that "no charges are either pending or contemplated ... in the near future" against 45-year-old Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, who has been held at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp. He was captured in the United Arab Emirates in November 2002 and turned over to the CIA."


This is beyond an outrage.

Is this yet another example of the Obama's famous quote of "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." What of the promises President Obama made to the families and friends and members of the Crew of the USS Cole who have patiently waited nearly 10 years with no sign of justice for the Act of War and murder.

Or is it just yet another disgusting political manuever prior to the upcoming elections, as some have said in linked articles, a ploy to satisfy and appease the nut cases on the far left who insist that Guantanomo be closed or is it another example of Holder's and Obama's lunacy to force a trial of this murderous cretin in an American court.

It is said that Al Nashiri was waterboarded and had a machine gun pointed at him by the CIA. Wow! How awful, poor baby! One can only draw the conclusion that is awful if you suffer from a serious case of moral equivalency, a syndrome this administration has shown that they are infected with again and again and again.

Only appeasers and supporters of Islamofascism can support the delay of swift and deadly justice for this vermin. Al Nashiri should have had his day in court and been condemned to die by a firing squad long ago.

Both President Obama and Eric Holder have once again shown contempt for this nation and have failed to uphold their sworn duties as President and Attorney General.

When the USS Cole was repaired a blue tile floor was added to a passageway in the Cole. And 17 stars were laid, each to represent a sailor lost on another sad day of infamy for this Republic, October 12, 2000, in the attack by a small boat, acting as part of the docking tenders laden with explosives that blew a hole in the warship in the Yemeni port of Aden. There is a box containing debris that has been mounted on a bulkhead in the mess deck, debris from the attack on the World Trade Center from September 11, 2001, Al Queda terrorist attacks on America. The remnants, were presented by the Port Authority of New York, and are composed of metal, marble and glass from the destroyed World Trade Center. A most fitting tribute.

Moolah for Mullahs, The Shovel Ready Mosque Initiative

I bet most Americans are unaware of this shovel ready dhimmitude, where millions of US taxpayers dollars have been spent restoring mosques and religious 'cultural heritage' sites, worldwide (other than Christian or Jewish ones) in 'outreach programs' in states that sponsor terrorist and grow jihadis.

Under the direction of two Administrations those of both G. W. Bush and B. H. Obama, our government has engaged in the Constitutionally questionable activity of repairing and restoring mosques and other religious 'cultural heritage' sites worldwide.

This misguided foreign policy political correctness has us waging war, while appeasing and playing at peace with states who harbor bases for terrorist at the same time. This schizophrenic bipolar practice has been employed by both Administrations, and also approved in budgets from both legislative branches, and signed into law by both of these Presidents. Under the executive leadership of both the 43rd and 44th President, the Department of State has implemented this Catch 22 program through the auspices of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to spend millions reconstructing and financing multiple mosques in Cairo and Cyprus, Somalia and Indonesia (just a few of the states on the USAID list) as well as providing computers for imams in Tajikistan and Mali.

Further our troops are engaged in this activity in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

Which Congressmen and Senators supported this nonsense for lunatic spending? When was the directive and mission of USAID changed to be a religious outreach program, and why are we restoring these facilities in states who have bases for and support Al Queda? USAID's original mandate was to provide medicines and food.

Here are some pictures from the USAID website with some of the pictures including before and after indicating the disrepair their own countries and faithful have allowed to occur,
showing how both your and my tax dollars have been spent:

http://www.aclj.org/News/Read.aspx?ID=3897

Our elected officials have become so infected with political correctness on both sides of the aisle that they have become completely incapable making sound decisions.

We have troops on the ground at war with crippling rules of engagement, in some of these countries and at the same time we are repairing sanctuaries in localities that engage in supporting these un-uniformed proxy terrorist. It is hard to rationally juxtapose this 'cultural heritage' outreach in locales for mosques that give both sanctuary, and comfort to known terrorist organizations identified by our government. In some instances we are doing this 'cultural restoration' in states who actively sponsor the presence of these proxy enemies and have also routinely displayed outspoken hostile intent towards the United States. Worse still we are doing these 'cultural heritage' restorations without these states disavowing the enemy they allow on their soil, and and prior to either a truce or surrender.

Both the Marshall Plan to rebuild and stabilize Europe and the plan to also rebuild and stabilize Japan made sense, and were implemented after our adversaries had surrendered.

Clearly this is a Catch 22 of lunacy.

Where are the usual dependable outcries from those on the left who have near apoplectic fits in their outcry for separation of church and state when it comes to the Judeo Christian tenets upon which this nation was founded? Their silence is deafening.

Why we are underwriting the restoration of mosques in other nations any where on this planet?

No wonder we are in a quagmire, it has been created by these dicotomies of policy.

NASA The New Mission ~The Space Cadets


NASA has a new directive.

No more bold missions, fueled by genius and American Exceptionalism. No more will we be able watch launches from Cape Canaveral, or see the majesty of the shuttle program, or watch on live TV of the Hubble being repaired by American Astronauts performing astounding repairs at the end of a telescoping arm from the bay of the Shuttle. No more amazing transmissions of the Rovers on Mars.

The rocket scientist launched to victory in November of 2008 has farmed out sending our brave Astronauts into space to the Russians. Recently their antiquated technology, was not capable of resupplying the International Space Station, and the resupply capsule missed it's target and shot past the outpost high above our atmosphere.

What is our new mission in space...too surreal to even imagine.

We are to make Muslim Children feel good about their technological advances.

Gone the bold vision of President Kennedy. What is the vision of the Space Cadet in Chief? Lets see...the Mars program: scrapped...Moon colonization: scrapped. . Space Shuttle program: scrapped (or soon will be)... Ambitious new programs originating from NASA: none. Rank as #1 space exploration agency in the world: all but gone and fading fast, soon to be the new arm of Space Cadet in Chief's Muslim politically correct agenda.

What an outrage!

NASA is to promote a sense of self esteem to a self-identified culture completely ruled by men. A patriarchal society that renounces technology, prohibits young women education, treats women like chattel, who seemingly live in the dark ages wrapped in cruelty and inequality from the dark ages and whose madrasas (schools) teach the hatred found in the Koran to fledgling suicide bombers.

Brings a whole to new meaning, “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

On May 5, 1961, when I was 14, lucky me, I was able to watch TV when Alan Shepard, in a capsule on the left, was the first American to be launched into space. I watched the grainy black and white coverage. I was proud and thrilled that although the Russians three weeks prior had sent cosmonaut Yuri Gargarin into space, we had now also engaged in an exciting endeavor.

It was the beginning of my love affair with NASA, and it marked the beginning of the real race to explore where no man had gone before.

The first U.S. spaceship was a cone-shaped one-man capsule with a cylinder mounted on top. Two meters (6 ft, 10 in) long, 1.9 meters (6 ft, 2 1/2 in) in diameter, a 5.8meter (19 ft, 2 in) escape tower was fastened to the cylinder of the capsule. The blunt end was covered with an ablative heat shield to protect it against the 3,000 degree heat of entry into the atmosphere.

Image at left: Insignia's from each of six manned Mercury 7 missions and autographs of the original seven NASA astronauts encircle the Mercury spacecraft. Image credit: NASA + View Large Image

The Mercury program used two launch vehicles: A Redstone for the suborbital and an Atlas for the four orbital flights. Prior to the manned flights, unmanned tests of the booster and the capsule, carrying a chimpanzee, were made. Each astronaut named his capsule and added the numeral 7 to denote the teamwork of the original astronauts.

http://www.thespaceplace.com/history/mercury/mercury06.html


Our first orbits of earth: and the statistics from thirty-eight years ago.

Rocket: Atlas, 109-D
Spacecraft: No. 13
Launch: 02/20/62, 9:47:00 a.m. EST
Landing: 02/20/62, 2:42:23 p.m. EST
Duration: 4 hrs, 55 min, 23 sec
Altitude: 162.2 x 100 statute miles
Orbits: 3
Period: 88 min 29 secs
Distance: 75,679 statute miles
Velocity: 17,544 mph
Max G: 7.7
Recovery ship: USS Noa

John Glenn, was the first Astronaut to orbit the earth, just nine months after Alan Shepard's first flight to space.

On September 12, 1962 President John F. Kennedy said in Houston, Texas:

"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon... (interrupted by applause) we choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."

When I was 22, I watched Neil Armstrong place the first of many American Astronauts footprints on the that beautiful pearl in the sky, the moon. A feat 41 years later no other nation has been able to duplicate.

From: http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/blogs/beltway-confidential/obamas-new-mission-for-nasa-reach-out-to-muslim-world-97785979.html "... Bolden made the statements during a recent trip to the Middle East. He told al-Jazeera that in the wake of the president’s speech in Cairo last year, the American space agency is now pursuing “a new beginning of the relationship between the United States and the Muslim world.” Then:

When I became the NASA Administrator — before I became the NASA Administrator — [Obama] charged me with three things: One was he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering."


“NASA is not only a space exploration agency,” Bolden concluded, “but also an earth improvement agency.”

Video of Boldens' above comments can be seen here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e857ZcuIfnI&feature=player_embedded

Charles Krauthammer mirrors my outrage here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zin9RkGsXrY&feature=player_embedded

From: http://www.newsmax.com/FrankGaffney/Gaffney-NASA-space-China/2010/07/06/id/363898 is some of the most biting analysis that I have read about this decision.

..."As Moscow and Beijing have long appreciated, unavoidable verification and definitional problems ensure that, as a practical matter, any treaty likely to emerge from such talks would further weaken America's ability to protect its interests in space and on the ground — without denying such advantages to our potential adversaries.

As in so many areas, it seems President Obama's space policies and programs are designed to "fundamentally transform" America from a preeminent world power to just another nation, dependent on the good will and assistance of others to safeguard its interests.

To the extent that such reliance is placed on sources like the Russians, the Chinese and "the Muslim world" that have made little secret of their ambition to weaken, if not destroy, the United States, it is likely to end badly, as it did for poor Blanche DuBois. "


Take a quick look at your daily life at all the wonderful things we enjoy thanks to the advances in science and technology that we use every day to make our lives better. Here is a link to all the advances, a direct result of our investment in space exploration: http://techtran.msfc.nasa.gov/at_home.htmlfc.nasa.gov/at_home.html

The following pictures are some of my personal favorites from NASA Space Missions:

I never tire of watching this behemoth lift off from it's launch pad, or watching this huge machine glide to a touchdown, whether at Edwards or Cape Canaveral.

And two of the three great tragedies of the United States
missions in space happened with the Shuttle, one an explosion after lift off due to a problem with the infamous O Ring, and the second a result of damage to the tiles which caused failure in the structure and the Shuttle to disintegrate over central Texas.

And there is this exquisite beauty of an Astronaut repairing the Hubble ( my favorite the United States ever sent to the heavens) on the retractable arm from the bay of the Shuttle with the earth in the background with the unmistakable gulf of Aden.

Last summer when the last mission was sent to 'make the Hubble right' my husband and I watched every single repair that the teams performed on Hubble.

Their skill and precision and absolutely perfect mechanical workman like excellence left both of us spellbound. Not one duty, was left undone. The teams with the help of engineers on the ground solved every installation issue, and successfully completed the mission.

No other nation on the planet has been able to send live images equal to these, nor has any other nation been able to perform this level of engineering excellence.

This picture is from http://hubblesite.org/ .

On this site are some of the most stunning and beautiful pictures from space that you can find. It is hard to argue that there is no God, when viewing the incredible majesty of the universe.

In picture after picture my sense of amazement and my understanding of God's perfect design is shown in each and every photo that I have viewed with awe.

No other nation has been able to both launch, repair and use a telescope that can match the majesty of the images, or the engineering skill or ability to even make a mission comparable what NASA and the United States has with the Hubble.

And who among us can but marvel at the two tiny rovers deployed to Mars!

Once again real engineers and scientist were able to overcome obstacles and share with us the amazing feat of two tiny machines on Mars sending data back to earth.

I repeat no other nation on this planet has been able to match this feat or perform the technology necessary to place these two machines on another planet.

Illegal Executive Order?~Amnesty For Millions

No longer a Nation of Laws, (at least if you have been paying attention to this administration), we are led by a group that seems hell bent on turning this wonderful experiment upside down.

We now face the gravest threat this Republic has ever seen. Democrats are so horrified at their prospects for the fall elections and future elections have been engaged in some really vile secretive activity. What is the fix that this vile group of thugs are seeking to do?

Amnesty by Executive Order.

Like a thief in the dark of night it is their intent to give lawbreakers our rights.

Let me be really clear. I am against any form of amnesty for illegal aliens.

My personal position is that it is much more fiscally responsible to round up every single last illegal and thier anchor babies and send them packing to their country of origin. I am not in favor of any back of the line list anything for those whose first step on our soil is to break the law.

I am also really tired of elected officials on every level justifying not enforcing our laws.

Those that continue ignoring their sworn duty need to be removed from office, by ballot or impeachment, or arrest for aiding and abetting law breakers. ALL OF THEM.

Our elected officials seem to need some Constitutional tutoring, at best and many just need to be voted out of office.

Bill O'Reilly said according to this release http://www.newsmax.com/Headline/barack-obama-impeachment-illegal/2010/06/26/id/363160?s=al&promo_code=A296-1e/barack-obama-impeachment-illegal/2010/06/26/id/363160?s=al&promo_code=A296-1 "Fox News' Bill O'Reilly is warning that if President Barack Obama ever bypasses Congress and uses his pardon power to make millions of illegal aliens citizens, he could face serious calls for his impeachment.

“If President Obama were to sign an executive order giving illegal aliens amnesty, his career would be over and an impeachment movement would explode,” O'Reilly said Friday night on his “Talking Points” segment during his top-rated Fox show.

And then there is this, from an unnamed but reliable source as indicated in the link.

..."The White House would not confirm or deny the claim. It's unclear what section of the illegal immigrant population such a move would target. But the former Bush official said the discussions are real.

"The administration at the very minimum is studying legal ways to legalize people without having to go through any congressional debate about it," the source said, calling the senators' claim credible. "Whether somebody pulls the trigger on that, that's another issue." this quote is from:
http://tinyurl.com/2dz3had

"The senators -- Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa; Orrin Hatch, R-Utah; David Vitter, R-La.; Jim Bunning, R-Ky.; Saxby Chambliss, Ga.; Johnny Isakson, R-Ga.; James Inhofe, R-Okla.; and Thad Cochran, R-Miss. -- claimed in their letter that the administration was looking at extending what is known as deferred action or parole to millions of illegal aliens in the United States." this from, http://www.gopusa.com/fresh-ink/2010/06/amnesty-for-illegal-aliens-by-executive-order.php

Can anyone in their right mind think that giving amnesty to somewhere between 13-20 Million Illegal Aliens, is something that this nation supports?

"In late May, a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll showed that six in 10 respondents found that the federal government should focus on stopping the flow of illegal immigrants into the U.S., deporting those already here and supporting more border security."

From Pronk Palisades, here is a link filled with incredible detail for you to use and a vast amount of information and videos about precisely what is underway deep inside the Whitehouse for you to watch. http://tinyurl.com/2c69nwo

Pronk says on his blog: "Comprehensive immigration reform is a code word for amnesty for illegal aliens which President Obama fully supports."

President Obama is seriously considering issuing an executive order that would give nearly 20 million illegal aliens amnesty and eventually full U.S. citizenship.

Should President Obama actually go forward with such an order, he would guarantee the defeat of most Democratic Party candidates running for reelection in 2010 and 2012 as well as his own impeachment and conviction under the U.S. Constitution."

This may explain why Janet Napolitano has gone missing and what she has been up to as indicated in the letter sent by Sens. Grassley, Hatch (R-Utah), Vitter (R-La.), Bunning (R-Ky.), Chambliss (R-Ga.), Isakson (R-Ga.), Inhofe (R-Okla.), and Cochran (R-Miss.).

Pronk goes on to say: “…Several Senators have learned of a possible plan by the Obama Administration that would provide a mass Amnesty for the nation’s 11-18 million illegal aliens. Led by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), eight Senators addressed a letter to the President asking for answers to questions about a plan that would allow DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano to provide an amnesty if they can’t secure enough votes for a bill in the Senate. …”

Instead of reducing taxes to spur growth this President and his administration is running Public Service Announcements for illegals who should turn their empoyers in if they feel they are being unfairly compensated.

Instead of assisting border states, Eric Holder at the direction of President Obama is planning to sue Arizona.

Instead of marshalling every thing that they can to stop the devastation of the gulf, they have been in the bowels of the Whitehouse concocting this nation breaking nonsense.

Instead of passing a budget The Congress has passed yet another unread piece of Legislation that the Democratic Leadership says you will know what is in the bill once it has passed.
