Obama has gone around Congress again, this time to ensure that we financially support Israel’s enemy across the border. Yeah, Obama’s got their back:

Times of Israel – US President Barack Obama has lifted a ban on financial aid to the Palestinian Authority.

Obama stated that the aid was “important to the security interests of the United States.”

The US Congress froze a $192 million aid package to the Palestinian Authority after its president, Mahmoud Abbas, defied US pressure and sought to attain UN endorsement of Palestinian statehood last September. The presidential waiver means that aid can now be delivered. …

Section 3 of Congress’s Palestinian Accountability Act, which applies to 2012, stipulates that “no funds available to any United States Government department or agency … may be obligated or expended with respect to providing funds to the Palestinian Authority.” Obama has now signed a waiver, however, the White House said Friday, and asked Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to inform Congress accordingly.

The AFP news agency quoted White House spokesman Tommy Vietor as saying the $192 million aid package would be devoted to “ensuring the continued viability of the moderate PA government under the leadership of [Palestinian Authority] President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad.”

Vietor added that the PA had fulfilled its major obligations, such as recognizing Israel’s right to exist, renouncing violence and accepting the Road Map for Peace.

Israel receives billions of dollars a day from the U.S. yet they continue to violate UN Resolutions to stop building settlements. If we hold one accountable we must hold both accountable.

The U.S. sends billions of dollars a day to fund Israel. In fact, Israel would not be able to exist if the U.S. didn't send the money. Yet, Israel defies UN policies and builds new settlements daily. If we hold one accountable then we must hold both accountable.

Obamacare to Herd Disabled Seniors to Bare-Bones Medicaid Plans

Posted on April 29, 2012 by Cowboy Byte

http://cowboybyte.com/7066/obamacare-to-herd-disabled-seniors-to-bare-bones-medicaid-plans/

Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a former senior official at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in the Bush administration, warns that under Obamacare disabled seniors who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid will receive inferior care, according to a report by the New York Post.

Gottlieb, an American Enterprise Institute resident fellow, says these low-income people who are elderly or have disabilities will be uprooted from the tried-and-true Medicare fold and “herded” into state-run Medicaid plans as another phase of Obamacare grips the nation.

“It’s hard to see how they’ll be better off in bare-bones, and sometimes poorly-run state Medicaid plans than by getting access to Medicare options they were entitled to before Obamacare,” Dr. Gottlieb lamented on Friday.

What can one expect when the President organized a panel of insurance company executives to help write the Healthcare reform act???? The only people who are going to be better off with Obamacare are the Insurance companies and the 32 million people who can afford any insurance and the Insurance companies. Meanwhile the Congressmen and President and their family members sit enjoy free (2 and 4 years respectively). Perhaps if they were forced to swallow the same pill (coverage under Obamacare) they wouldn't be so quick to Supreme court deems the law unconstitutional and the American public decides that who ever voted to pass the bill needs to be voted out of office.

Keep in mind while obama is sending our enemies money, he is virtually helping those groups that kill our solders. And then obama has the gall to elicit the help of our military families to get back into office, so he can send more money to enemy countries/groups that go after our soldiers.

Obama’s Re-election Campaign Targets Military Families

Posted on April 29, 2012 by Cowboy Byte

http://cowboybyte.com/7069/obamas-re-election-campaign-targets-military-families/

President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign is focusing on military families in an effort to expand support beyond what he received in 2008, by pushing the message that the president is for veterans and families, The Washington Post reported.

Obama lost the veterans’ vote in 2008 but won among those younger than 65 when running against Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., a decorated hero, the Post noted. The campaign believes veterans could make the difference in Virginia and North Carolina, states with large military populations. In addition to the president and first lady making a stop at Fort Stewart in Hinesville, Ga., Michelle Obama will head to New Mexico next week to meet with service members and families.

Well Israel should just withhold the same amount in taxes that they pay to the PA every month!

Obama should be impeached! His administration just gave the Palestinian Authority (an entity in cahoots with terrorist organization Hamas) $192 million of taxpayer dollars to do with as they please. Guess where that money will end up? In the hands of terrorist Hamas and no doubt will be used to kill Israeli citizens and other innocent people in Israel and abroad.

Obama has committed high crimes and misdemeanors against the United States of America and its national security interests, which are impeachable offenses by the way. Therefore, Barack Obama should be held accountable for his treasonous actions and be impeached. But it is likely the Republicans in Congress will simply... let it slide... and will continue to allow Barack Obama the ability to destroy the fabric of American society, and our economy, because Republicans are apparently more concerned about their own cushy jobs and retirement benefits instead of doing what's right for the country, or indeed, for our ally Israel in the Middle East. I would be very surprised if Republicans in Congress call for Obama's impeachment. Which he undeniably deserves in my opinion.

Listen, Obama has already made it very plain he will continue to "bypass" Congress in order to implement his socialistic agenda. One of the byproducts of Obama's evil agenda is to prop up our enemies - like Hamas and the terrorist funding Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, all the while denigrating and demeaning our allies and friends from around the world. That includes stabbing Israel in the back just yesterday, after giving the Palestinian Authority - which is in cahoots with Hamas (which is on the FBI list of terrorist organizations), which includes elements within the Palestinian Authority, hundreds of millions of dollars which will likely be used to carry out terrorist plots against Israel and Western Civilization. Obama never met a terrorist he didn't like it. At least that's the impression I get.

Obama recently said that he "had Israel's back" but the truth of the matter is Obama just stuck a knife in Israel's back and it was simply one more of his many "lies" that Obama continues to spew out of his mouth on what seems to be a continual basis. Along with his press secretary Jay Carney. Liberal elitists who are leading America down the path of destruction and misery, as they seek four additional years, so they can continue doing the same thing! At the expense of the American people and our allies, even as they continue to bankrupt the country at breakneck speed! That's liberalism for you!

Obama MUST be stopped! Impeachment is optimal but if we have to wait until the November election, so be it. America is going down the same path as the ancient Roman Empire I'm afraid. America will become Greece II if Obama gets reelected in my opinion. Obama is waging war on religion and denigrating the moral fabric of society. He is trying to rule as a King and if Congress or the Constitution happen to get in his way... he simply bypasses both of them. Which should make every God fearing citizen in America stand up and take notice and then do everything in their power to ensure Barack Obama is a one-term president. Yes, that means voting for Mitt Romney, even if you have to hold your nose while doing it. I was hoping Rick Santorum would get the nomination but it didn't work out that way. I'll still vote for Romney because ANYBODY would be better than Obama. America will likely collapse under the weight of Barack Obama's socialistic policies if Obama gets another four years to implement his agenda. Therefore it is absolutely crucial to defeat Obama in November.

Republicans in Congress need to grow a spine. If Republicans tip toe around this latest issue we'll unfortunately have to wait until the November election to get rid of Obama. Impeachment is preferable but the election in November is the second and most likely option. Thanks [sic] to Republicans in Congress, who continue to give Barack Obama basically free reign to do whatever the hell he wants without any repercussions. Lord forgive me but that's how I feel about it.

Republicans in Congress have thus far refused to grow a spine (except perhaps Darrell Issa), and as a result Barack Obama and his liberal cohorts continue to take America down the path of destruction and economic misery. November can't get here soon enough!!!!

All Americans must get involved to see that O is fired. Leaving elections in the hands of the “experts” is what has given us this administration.

There are blogs everywhere that are finally vetting this man and his staff. Speak to your neighbors, to strangers, to family and friends. We have allowed Congress to give so much power to the president that they are becoming obsolete. We must insist those powers be rescinded and this country return to what made us great in the first place.

We were the “barbarians”, the “ugly” Americans because we said what we thought, meant what we said, and did the right thing, not the political thing. We are NOT cultured Europe, or Ancient cultures such as Greece or Rome, or China. Nor should we ever wish to be. America used to blend the best from all nationalities and beliefs to make America stronger, while respecting our differences. Now we have an administration that encourages, supports, defends,and forces division among us all.

What we have allowed our politicians, ethnic spokespeople, and celebrities to do to us is make us ashamed of our roots, our way of life, our personal national pride. If you doubt this, think on it for a minute — why is there a need to classify oneself as African, Asian, Latin, Native, Arabic, Jewish, Catholic, Baptist, Muslim, ad nauseum American? The only “race” NOT allowed to stand tall is White American. How many people in America really have a “pure” lineage?

We are, should be, and must be Americans first, ethnic & religious or non religious mix on a lower rung. Only by doing this will we be able to restore America to Americans.

I don't think that I have commented here before but I'll say what I've said in other discussions. If Obama isn't the Antichrist, then he is the second runner up. Remember when he made the claim "If Congress won't act, then Joe and I will" Apparently he thinks that he can do just whatever he wants with you repercussions and this circumventing Congress is a complete violation of his sworn duty to uphold the Constitution.

I hate to think what our country will be like if he gets another 4 years.

The trouble is already here, the enemy with-in. Why are we again, surprised by this appeasing from our failed Commander and Fraud. Just recently, Congressman Allen West called out the CPU: the Communist Party USA. Which is now-- the politically correct speak for the CPC: Congressional "Progressive" Caucus. These "fools" are siding with the infiltration of jihadists and the Muslim Brotherhood here in America and abroad.

--

Notice the comment from Obama, that the aid was-- "Important to the security interests of the United States" Yeah right....! Folks, were in very dark times, and of coarse Obama must go. What scares me more-- is the lesser of two evils: Romney' what's he going to do about this mess should he be able to squeak-out a win against Obama.

God help us all..........I feel I'll !

This just shows that Obama is bending over backwards to support the Pelestinians, even as they conspire with the Iranians to destroy Israel. Congress should just refuse to give out the money. In an election year and with the Jewish vote up for grabs, do you think anybody in Congress is going to support the Palestinians? A bill should be brought up in Congress to stop all funding to the Palestinians. Last time I heard, Congress still had the power of the purse. I doubt anybody wanting to get re-elected would vote against Israel on this and that Congress could easily override a veto. If Congress means what it says, they should bring up such a bill and do it.

OBAMA needs to learn he is an elected individual, not king or dictator. America has not spent treasure and shed precious blood to destroy terrorism for him to decide arbitrarily to take from hard-working Americans through taxation to aid and support terrorists who want to kill us. He hates America and has as his #1 priority the fundamental transformation (destruction from within) of America. Obama has begged to be impeached from day one of being PUT INTO OFFICE! At some point he must be obliged. Obama's skin color, his most valuable-to PC Democrats- is also his ACHILLEs heel. Marxists/Socialists selected Black Americans as SHIELD for their EVIL agenda at the end of Reconstruction. Nothing has changed! They formed the axis of the coalition to re-enslave the newly emancipated slaves. E.E. B. DuBois, Obama's predecessor, seeking social justice-but, most of all, white acceptance, the pied piper led his 'talented tenth' UPNORTH to equality-found in an Urban Plantation located in a concrete jungle called a ghetto. Booker T. Washington was derided and called an uncle Tom, one of the nicer names for trying to get THEM to stay in the south. He pleaded, " Don't go! Put your buckets down where you are. The wealth is in the land”. Today, due to overwhelming violence UPNORTH and really hard economic times-and still no social justice. Former slav owners and emancipated slaves who chose to stay, rebuilt the war ravaged south. What PC/Marxists/Socialists/Democrats did not anticipate, was that leaving God out of their equation was a fatal mistake. Today’s PC, like coalition to re-enslave, hijacked 1960’s Civil Rights Movement and using guise of EQUALITY, targeted America’s black minorities to SHIELD agenda: Fundamental Transformation of America. Barack Hussein Obama, modern day E.E.B DuBois was selected as the Trojan Horse. He met their criteria: Financially needy, emotionally greedy; fulfilled the paper bag, ruler requirement: skin color no darker than a brown paper bag, hair straight as a ruler; and spoke HOOD only by choice - PERFECT! God had other plans. Remember, man appoints, God disappoints! So, even being PUT INTO Office and having-in beginning- control of both Houses of Congress(House of Representatives and Senate) their 4+ decades of insidiously, incrementally, embedding like termites in the very foundation of America’s faith based society have resulted in spectacular failures. Another reminder: what the God’s would destroy they first make ridiculous. Obama has become an unfunny joke. So, impeachment that he, his Cabinet and Czars (his so-called brilliant end-run around Senate, who has constitutional duty to advise and consent on Senate appointments) should be impeached, convicted, imprisoned, lose ALL pensions and protections. America will survive. America’s enemies will not. Keep the faith and the conversation going.

If Obama gets four more years in the Whitehouse Israel will be in serous trouble. Obama has assisted the Muslim Brotherhood to take the lead in the Middle East. He gave them Egypt and it has continued from there. This is reminiscent of when the North rolled over the South Vietnamese. There will be red sand for many more years to come and Obama is to be thanked for it. He bypasses Congress as a norm to insure he gets what he wants. He nows he is impeach proof as long as the Democrats hold one of the Houses.

This is horse crap. Congress ought to threaten to withhold at least that much from ObamaCare, until that money is restored. Whether you realize it, or not, but in giving them money, Obama has just officially made the United States a state sponsor of state sponsored terror. Palestine is a pseudo/para-state, and a sponsor of anti-Israeli (and American) terrorism. Obama has just literally used US funds to finance state sponsored terrorism, and has basically signed the death warrants of who knows how many Israelis (and, again, possibly Americans). He needs to be impeached NOW, and screw WILLARD. We CAN'T WAIT.

Obama is one of them. Can this be payback for something that was done for him when he visited Palestine in the 80's when Americans were not allowed into the country. Something is very wrong and our congress is going to sit back and let him overthrow this country right in front of our eyes. Dictators are probably taking notes. This guy will be the ruler of all the dictators. Our congress is betting on the election which might not happen if our dictator has anything to do with it. He is setting us up.
