What are the reasons? If you're going to post about it, why don't you provide actual facts instead of choice tag lines?

I’ve tried really hard to understand why people are so in love with Obama. It seems no matter what he does, it’s OK with them. No matter what he says, they agree and defend his stance and his words. No matter how bad things get, there are those of you who just keep defending Obama and believing the dream.

Well, you are going to pay a lot more to live if he gets another term. Your food, gas and general living expenses will explode. Health care will increase in cost like you won’t believe. And, you think unemployment is high now? If he gets another term in office, you will be very lucky if you keep your job.

How many more living on Welfare and Food Stamps will it take to make some of you see how destructive this president is? How many more will have to join the homeless before you understand that Obama doesn’t know what he is doing? What will it take to make you see the truth?

Oh, I know you are thinking it is we, the people who oppose Obama, who don’t see. But what if you are wrong? Keep in mind, that you, as well as we, will pay the price for his lack of leadership. Practice what you will tell your kids if they ask you if you voted for Obama to serve another four years. You might be forced to explain yourself to your kids someday.

Those of you who have children, know they are going to pay the national debt with high taxes, remember...you made it happen. They will still be paying it long after you are dead and gone. You better save all the money you can, because you will have to support your children far longer than any parents have, ever before in history.

I hope it’s worth it when you have to see your children’s dreams go down the drain because your dreams were more important to you, than theirs. I hope you won’t have to work your whole life without any retirement and that you are ready to make the ultimate sacrifice for your Messiah, Obama.

Spreading the wealth, means your kids get to pay for the choices and life styles of those who want a free trip down the highway of life. Think that is why they are trying to learn all they can in school, so they can be slaves to those who won’t work? Make no mistake, Obama will make them slaves to the entitlement class.

Nice that you can sacrifice your children’s future so easily, after you have had YOUR life and YOUR dreams. Nice, that you are so deluded, that you’d throw THEIR dreams away, just because YOU are in love with a dream.

Just what has Obama done for you, that you are so crazy about him? Is your pay more since he took office? Is your job more secure? Do you feel safer against criminals or terrorist? Do you have a better standard of living now than four years ago?

If you are going to defend him, give us more than just defense of his stance and what he says. Tell us, just what has he done for you personally? I'd really like to know. Or can't you think of anything?

I bet you can't.

EXECUTIVE ORDERS ISSUED…
Teddy Roosevelt 3
Others to FDR NONE
FDR 11 in 16 years
Truman 5 in 7 years
Ike 2 in 8 years
Kennedy 4 in 3 years
LBJ 4 in 5 years
Nixon 1 in 6 years
Ford 3 in 2 years
Carter 3 in 4 years
Reagan 5 in 8 years
Bush 3 in 4 years
Clinton 15 in 8 years
George W. Bush 62 in 8 years
Obama 923 in 3 1/2 years!
If you don't get the implications you're not paying attention. How many warnings do you need?
Scary !
923 Executive Orders in 40 Months
During my lifetime, All Presidents have issued Executive Orders, for reasons
that vary, some more than others.

When a President issued as many as 30 Ex. Orders during a term in Office,
people thought there was something Amiss.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT 923 EX. ORDERS IN ONE PART OF ONE TERM
?????? YES, THERE IS A REASON.
IT IS THAT THE PRESIDENT IS DETERMINED TO TAKE CONTROL AWAY FROM THE HOUSE AND
THE SENATE.

Even some Democrats in the House have turned on him, plus a very small number of
Democrat Senators question him.

HE SHOULD BE QUESTIONED. WHAT IS HE REALLY TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH ????

DOES THIS SCARE YOU AS MUCH AS IT DOES ME?
________________________________

Not really surprising that he appointed "Czars" to be in charge of everything.
Emperor Obama ?
Coming soon to a neighborhood near you.

....THIS IS NOT FUNNY, AND IF YOU VOTE FOR HIM AGAIN, YOU CAN EXPECT MORE!

Remember what he told Russia 's Putin: "I'll be more flexible after I'm re-elected".

THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION: Obama has signed 923 Executive Orders in 40 months!
What did Congress do in those 40 months? (The House - considerable. The Senate
-nothing, not even a budget nor allowing any House bill to be considered.) A
whole new order must prevail in Wash. DC as a result of this next election! Now
look at these:

-EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 allows the government to take over all modes of
transportation and control of highways and seaports.
-EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 allows the government to seize and control the
communication media.

-EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997 allows the government to take over all electrical power,
gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals.

-EXECUTIVE ORDER 10998 allows the government to take over all food resources and
farms.

-EXECUTIVE ORDER 11000 allows the government to mobilize civilians into work
brigades under government supervision.

-EXECUTIVE ORDER 11001 allows the government to take over all health, education
and welfare functions.

-EXECUTIVE ORDER 11002 designates the registration of all persons. Postmaster General to
operate a national registration
-EXECUTIVE ORDER 11003 allows the government to
take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.

-EXECUTIVE ORDER 11004 allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate
communities, build new housing with public funds, designate areas to be
abandoned, and establish new locations for populations.

-EXECUTIVE ORDER 11005 allows the government to take over railroads, inland
waterways and public storage facilities.

-EXECUTIVE ORDER 11049 assigns emergency preparedness function to federal
departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issued
over a fifteen year period.

-EXECUTIVE ORDER 11051 specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency
Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in
times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.

-EXECUTIVE ORDER 11310 grants authority to the Department of Justice to enforce
the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute industrial support, to
establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate
penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.

-EXECUTIVE ORDER 11921 allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to
develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and
distribution, of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit and the flow of money
in U.S. financial institution in any undefined national emergency. It also
provides that when a state of emergency is declared by the President, Congress
cannot review the action for six months.

Feel free to verify the "executive orders" at will... and these are just the
major ones I'm sure you've all heard the tale of the "Frog in the Pot"... you
all comfortable???
Watch Obama's actions, not his words! By his actions he will show you where
America is headed.
Sounds to me like he is superceeding the Constitution of the USA… But, yet I did not find any provision in the US Constitution for such Executive Orders.

. Just this week, Obama has issued a new executive order that seeks to
"harmonize" U.S. economic regulations with the rest of the world. This new
executive order is yet another incremental step that is pushing us closer to a
North American Union and a one world economic system.

Unfortunately, most Americans have absolutely no idea what is happening.
The American people need to understand that Barack Obama is constantly looking
for ways to integrate the United States more deeply with the rest of the world.
The globalization of the world economy has accelerated under Obama, and this
latest executive order represents a fundamental change in U.S. economic policy.
Now federal regulators will be required to "harmonize" their work with the
international community.

THIS IS DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE??
THEN PROVE TO YOURSELF IT'S WRONG.

OK, it's wrong. He has signed 139 orders to date (list current to 9/27 here: http://1461days.blog...ent-obamas.html)

"All of those listed above, with the exception of the final two, were issued during the Kennedy presidency. No. 11310 was enacted under President Johnson, and No. 11921 under President Ford. Besides falsely attributing these to Mr. Obama, the email is obviously wrong in assigning just four executive orders to Mr. Kennedy. How did it fare with other administrations?

Franklin Roosevelt: 3,728
Harry Truman: 896
Dwight Eisenhower: 486
John Kennedy: 214
Lyndon Johnson: 324
Richard Nixon: 346
Gerald Ford: 169
Jimmy Carter: 320
Ronald Reagan: 381
George Bush: 166
Bill Clinton: 364
George W. Bush: 291
Barack Obama: 135

So, the numbers aren’t even the slightest bit accurate. What’s the point of it all? The use of executive orders isn’t a new thing. Clearly, the earliest presidents on the list made the most extensive use of the practice. Despite what you’ve read or would like to believe, the executive orders largely contain expressions of legal powers granted by Congress to the Executive Branch.

The president has authority over all cabinet agencies, so when Congress creates new bureaucracies with vague powers and broad regulatory control, the president is empowered to direct their activities. Most of Congress’ creations, however, are unconstitutional, but have survived challenges and scrutiny. Because the courts routinely defer to the legislature, they’re not a reliable advocate for rights or liberty.

If you have a beef with executive orders, don’t blame the president — blame the system. Both major parties enjoy executive departments when they have control over them, evidenced by the figures shown above. Democrats like Roosevelt continually pushed legal boundaries during his presidency, but our current predicament is the result of bipartisan government expansion.

I’m not indifferent to the role Mr. Obama has played, but let’s operate from a position of truth. The debate can be won without hyperbole and hysteria. If you want to know what an executive order actually says, find the official posting, not just a summary from a third party. Oh, and don’t believe everything you read."

Seriously people. Just don't blindly accept something and repost without checking it out. Vote intelligently.

This guy is simply disgusting and shameless. He and his campaign, and the media that support him are continuously accusing everyone of "playing the race card" about virtually everything. Meanwhile, he is the biggest racist bast_rd of them all, as evidenced by this video, which can only be described as completely racist. The comments below are right on the mark..Forward this to everyone you know and don't let this guy get away with this.

What do you think would have happened if a Caucasian president had ever produced and published a You Tube video for ALL WHITE PEOPLE to unite for a WHITE PRESIDENT. This is the MOST SIGNIFICANT DEMONSTRATION of INTENTIONAL DIVISIVE RACISM by ANY PRESIDENT in the history of our country. Obama announces the 2012 launch of African Americans for Obama.
This is what racism smells like. It can't be explained away. Would you vote for a white person who did this? I wouldn't, and I think they would be run right out of town if they tried it.

This is food for thought when pondering your vote in November.

Can you imagine Romney putting out a call for all the white brothers and sisters to vote for him because he's white and so are they?

More shameless lies from Obama and his ad campaign of lies

Romney’s garbageman stars in new attack ad (VIDEO)

A labor union that supports President Barack Obama's re-election campaign has released an attack ad that features a sanitation worker collecting trash outside Mitt Romney's multimillion-dollar California mansion.

"My name is Richard Hayes, and I pick up Mitt Romney's trash," the man says to the camera in the 60-second Web ad. "We're kind of like the invisible people, you know. He doesn't realize, you know, that the service we provide, you know, if it wasn't for us, you know, it would be a big health issue, us not picking up trash." (yeah because only black people work as trash men - what a crock to try and depict those poor union paid workers as invisible people, makes me want to puke!)

"Picking up 15, 16 tons by hand, you know that takes a toll on your body," Hayes continued. "When I'm 55, 60 years old, I know my body's going to be break down. Mitt Romney doesn't care about that." (he should quit if he cant handle the job he signed up for!)

The head of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which produced the spot, says it's a direct response to the Republican presidential nominee's controversial "47 percent" comments that have dogged him of late.

"Mitt Romney's '47 percent' videotape revealed his contempt for tens of millions of Americans," AFSCME President Lee Saunders wrote in a blog post. "Romney seems only to be relaxed and at ease when he is surrounded by other millionaires and people willing to pay $50,000 to share a meal with him. And it is only those wealthy donors who get to know what is really on his mind. They spend more money than most Americans make in a year to ask Mitt Romney questions and listen to his reckless banter about Americans like Richard Hayes."
Hayes' route includes Romney's $12 million La Jolla, Calif., mansion—"the house where he's putting in an elevator for his cars," wrote Saunders. (so does this mean that Obama is only relaxed and at ease when he's surrounded by black poor people?????)

"No one forced Romney to trash these Americans," he continued. "He was simply stating, to a privileged audience behind closed doors, what he really believes. He never expected that his remarks would be heard by the wider public."

The Romney camp said it was unimpressed with the ad. "It's not surprising that a liberal special interest group is trying to distract from President Obama's failed agenda with dishonest political attacks," Romney campaign spokesman Ryan Williams said in a statement to Yahoo News. "President Obama has consistently sided with union bosses over middle class workers by supporting big government policies that have killed jobs, pushing for disastrous card check legislation that would take away the right to a secret ballot in the workplace, and stacking the National Labor Relations Board with their political cronies. As president, Mitt Romney will promote pro-growth policies that will get our country back on track and create economic opportunity for every American."

The ad is the first of three attacking Romney produced by the union. But Saunders recently insisted the AFSCME was nonpartisan. (golly gee, union attack ads, supporting their guy who keeps giving them the farm more and more every year, imagine that!!)

"Let me be perfectly clear about this: Our union does not work for any political party; we work for justice and fairness in the workplace," He said at the AFSCME's annual meeting in June. "If someone takes us on, it does not matter whether they are a Democrat or a Republican, conservative or liberal. We must hold politicians of all political stripes accountable for what they say and what they do. Because when it comes to what affects our members and our rights, it's not about left versus right; it's about right versus wrong."
Still, Saunders told attendees, "We must work our hearts out to re-elect President Obama."]
(PURE BULLSH*T LIES!!!)

Obama Family and Staff Cost Taxpayers $1.4 Billion in 2011

Written by Michael Tennant

For all his talk about cutting the deficit, President Barack Obama has been anything but shy about spending taxpayers' money lavishly — and not just on favored political constituencies. According to the Daily Caller, last year taxpayers had to fork over a whopping $1.4 billion just to pay the expenses of the president, his family, and his staff.

British taxpayers, meanwhile, were soaked for a relatively trifling $57.8 million to keep the House of Windsor in tea and crumpets.

While Obama is only the latest in a long line of chief executives to enjoy the high life at taxpayer expense, "the amount of money spent on the first family … has risen tremendously under the Obama administration and needs to be reined in," Robert Keith Gray, author of Presidential Perks Gone Royal, told the Daily Caller.

The $1.4 billion, Gray said, represents the "total cost of the presidency," including the tab for the "biggest staff in history at the highest wages ever," a 50-percent rise in the number of appointed "czars," and an Air Force One "running with the frequency of a scheduled air line."

Gray knows whereof he speaks. He has served in various Republican administrations, most notably that of President Dwight Eisenhower, where he rose to the post of Secretary of the Cabinet. If he thinks presidential expenses are getting out of hand, he just might be onto something.

The president's salary accounts for $400,000 of that $1.4 billion. In addition, he has a $50,000 annual expense account, a $100,000 travel account, a $19,000 entertainment budget, and another $1 million for "unanticipated needs," according to Gray. (How many taxpayers can get any amount of money, let alone $1 million, from their employers on demand?)

Among the other perks of the Obama presidency:

Appointed staff not requiring Senate confirmation, including 226 senior staffers (of 469 total) making over $100,000 a year and 43 "czars"
Free vacations at Camp David, estimated to cost $295,000 per night when transportation and personnel costs are included
A movie projectionist who lives and sleeps at the White House to be available at the president's beck and call — a position that has not been eliminated despite the existence of cable TV, DVDs, and streaming Internet video

Many paid travel and security expenses during vacations, such as the $75,000-a-day tab for First Lady Michelle Obama's five-day trip to Spain in 2010 (in the span of one year she took 42 vacation days)

A dog handler who reportedly earned $102,000 in 2011

The thing that bothers Gray the most, however, "is the use of taxpayer funds to abet [Obama's] re-election," he told the Daily Caller. Every time Obama hops aboard Air Force One to attend a campaign event, taxpayers take it on the chin. The president's campaign pays the equivalent of a first-class commercial airline ticket for certain passengers; the remaining costs are borne by taxpayers. And those costs are considerable: ABC News reports that Air Force One runs up a bill of almost $180,000 per flight hour.

"When the United States' billion-dollar air armada is being used politically, is it fair to taxpayers that we only be reimbursed by the president's campaign committee for the value of one first-class commercial ticket for each passenger who is deemed aboard `for political purposes?' " Gray asked in his book.

"And is that bargain-price advantage fair to those opposing an incumbent president?"
