    I remember when BroBama got in office and held a press conference to boast about him saving $60,000 in office supplies.
    The media was orgasmic on that momentous feet.

    Not only is he the LIAR-IN-CHIEF he also flip-flops to suit his needs During the Pres campaign he stated that the Navy Seals were Bush and Cheneys assassination teams. Now recently they have become his BOYS. WOW He and Holder have some diabolical plans to undermine eeverything and everyone of us who supports the original Founders views. He is doing all he can to destroy this country…….

      You are so right. Obama’s goal when he ran for president was to destroy America. Impeachment is the only answer. Why aren’t the powers that be going for it? I believe he is a more of a threat to the United States than the obvious Islamic terrorists.

      I said, predicted in a series of essays published in “DucksTales” ( http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/blogs/duckstales) during both the previous presidential primaries and campaigns, that Obama was the greatest threat to The Republic in our history and if he were to be elected, all of which has and is transpiring would occur. We are a society based upon our history and to paraphrase, those who forget the lessons of history are bound to repeat its mistakes. Seems this nation forget the lessons of the progressives of 1912, FDR and Carter and now…. We will forget once more come November of next year….?

      What this clearly biased report fails to tell you is those pay raises came with a JOB CHANGE. A Pay-Freeze means your salary will not change for the job you do. If you are promoted or otherwise change job descriptions then you are entitled to that salaries pay.

      The average White House salary in 2011 is 82,000 which is 1,000 a year LESS than it was in 2010. So stop eating what you are being spoon fed, just search the results yourself.

      Please Listen:

      The Bold SOLUTION to our Nation’s Fiscal Policy is Simple:
      1) Shift up to 70 % of Washington D.C.’s spending habits back to individual States (e.g., Health and Human Services, Housing, Education, Energy, Agriculture, Labor, Social Security, etc..), then let States decide how to spend the money collected from its citizens
      2) Stop all tax collection by the Federal Government, and mandate that only individual States shall collect taxes from citizens (as originally outlined in the Constitution and upheld by the Supreme court on several occasions)
      3) Individual States will send enough money to Washington D.C. to cover the spending not delegated to the states in Step (1) above (e.g., National Defense, Foreign Diplomacy, those items originally outlined in the Constitution)
      4) Set Back and watch: States grow, Washington D.C. corruption slow down, backroom deals disappear, and our Nation prosper

      Our 1st President, George Washington, “Could not tell a lie”. American politics have changed since then. Our 44th President, Barack Obama, “Can’t tell the truth”. Why did he think it was necessary to go on national television and tell the American people that his Whitehouse Staff hasn’t had a raise in over two years ? The truth is, some have almost doubled their original salaries. Is he trying to prepare Americ for an accross the board wage freeze ?

      I’m sick and tired of the President of the United States of America lying about almost everything. The lies started when he lied about his credentials and qualifications to be the POTUS. He’s not a NATIVE BORN CITIZEN as required by the US Constitution. Both of his parents were not American citizens. His second bigest lie was the oath of office of the POTUS that he took and in which he swore to preserve, defend and protect the US Constitution.

      We need to put someone into the Whitehouse who has some character, integrity and honor. It doesn’t matter if the next President is male or female, black or white as long as he or she will put America and not themselves first. I feel sorry and ashamed for all our military men and women who must recognize Barack Obama as their Commander in Chief. A person that expects to be followed must first be a leader and Obama has failed that qualification as well.

      to qualify to run for US president, ALL candidates should have to:
      1) prove citizenship status
      2) pass a high school senior-level test on economics and AMERICAN history & post their grade
      3) disclose ALL college records, transcripts, etc.
      4) anything else that makes sense that this bozo can’t/won’t do…

      Is that spiritual daddy Reverend Wright or Satan?… “Ye are of your father, the devil.”

      is it at all possible that obama is incapable of telling the truth or does he even remember what he has said from one occassion to the next???
