You did happen to catch this, didn't you?
ReplyDeleteFor his part, Obama issued a statement saying that the court had in effect endorsed his view that while “the 2nd Amendment protects the right of individuals to bear arms” it does not preclude “the need for crime-ravaged communities to save their children from the violence that plagues our streets through common-sense, effective safety measures.”
I don't see any threats to the 2nd Amendment, just to the pocketbooks of gun dealers when people realize that they don't have to buy more guns in case POTUS BHO signs an executive order to override the 2nd Amendment to seize the guns they do own, as he clearly intended in the pre-election statement I quoted.
He also promised to have an ethical administration and hire no lobbyists...
ReplyDeleteThat didn't workout either.
Let's face it. The man will say what he thinks you want to hear to help him get what he wants.
He also promised to have an ethical administration and hire no lobbyists..
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that less than a month after his inauguration you could already determine that he broke the promise of having an ethical administration.
As for hiring no lobbyists, this is what he said on the subject:
The president said that when top White House aides leave government, they are barred from lobbying “for as long as I am president, and there will be a ban on gifts by lobbyists to anyone serving in the administration.”
Lobbying Limits
A lobbyist who joins the Obama administration also is forbidden from working on issues they previously were involved with, he said. Any person who leaves the administration will be barred from lobbying the government for two years.
“We need to close the revolving door that lets lobbyists come into government freely and lets them use their time in public service” to promote their own interests when they leave, the president said. Government hiring, he said, will henceforth be based on qualifications, competence and experience, “not political connections.”
Of course, there is this, from PolitiFact.com:
We understand that the examples we've examined here are just two positions out of thousands that the president has to appoint. However, they don't seem consistent with Obama's promise. Indeed, we can't find any mention of waivers prior to Election Day.
We've received numerous emails from readers making reasonable arguments that we should rate this a Promise Broken, but we want to wait and see what happens with the nominees. We are leaving this one as a Compromise and will keep a close eye on what happens.
Of course, let's discount the possibility that he felt he had to have waivers because the people in question would be useful in his administration, and subject to the conditions outlined above.
Anyway, as you well know, a President can't do anything about a Constitutional Amendment except by his Supreme Court appointments.
If the Republicans won't do their due diligence by asking future appointees about their view on the 2nd Amendment, that will be something you will say is the fault of Obama as well, perhaps?
The man will say what he thinks you want to hear to help him get what he wants.
So, when GWB opined in Nov. 2000 that Clinton should 'jawbone' OPEC countries to lower price of oil, that wasn't saying what people wanted to hear to get him elected?
Of course, to be fair, GWB never promised to jawbone OPEC if elected President, and never did so as POTUS, AFAIK.
Of course, Cheney promised an ethical Administration in 2000 at the Republican Convention, which is why Bush didn't let his aides respond to Congressional demands fo testify in various cases or testify after he left office: nothing unethical and/or illegal took place in the WH under GWB, he just wanted to preserve his Executive Privilege for himself and future POTUSs, he wasn't hiding anything.
Motes and beams, motes and beams, and just to remind you which is which:
7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
7:4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
The Repubs aren't running the government so any motes they had, have or may have mean nothing in this. Barry is falling on his face practicing Chicago politics... Change indeed!
ReplyDeleteBarry's people can't seen to pay their taxes. Get over it!
And no one can remove their hand from a bucket of water and leave a hole. The "must have" excuse is laughable.
And the ethic shoes keep falling.
Taxes may be only a minor point.
"he was living in the apartment, receiving a valuable asset from the wife of a client. Greenburg was also a pollster for President Bill Clinton when Emanuel was a top-level adviser inside the Clinton White House. Emanuel's living arrangement, coming as it did over such a long period of time and involving a client with lucrative contracts with two groups in which Emanuel was in a very influential position, should raise questions of a quid pro quo between the White House Chief of Staff and Greenburg."

Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteSo hypocracy only counts when the party in question has some power?
Barry is falling on his face practicing Chicago politics... Change indeed!
Funny, you can't specifically object unless you bring in the old bugaboo of "Chicago politics" without demonstrating what that means or how BHO is doing that, unless his press conference demonstrates that, because a "Chicago politician" once held a press conference as well.
Barry's people can't seen to pay their taxes. Get over it!
Ah, the fact that two nominees were disqualified because they didn't
pay their taxes in a timely matter leads you to your conclusion.
Not that there is any logic, in your comments, so there's nothing for me to get over.
And no one can remove their hand from a bucket of water and leave a hole. The "must have" excuse is laughable.
Got any other cliches to trot out?
I know that when you start doing so it's a sign of desperation, since you couldn't find any evidence to cite when you start your reframing
bit.
You've jumped from the danger to the 4th Amendment to citing alleged ethics violations without any evidence, living in quarters provided by others isn't a taxable income that has to be put on the 1040/1040A forms unless one gets a housing allowance or a member of a religious order, and to catch a Democrat hanging around another Democrat obviously stinks to high heaven.
Enjoy!
I always do when I catch you making such laughable responses, nothing you write in response can't change that.
Look, Barry's background is a fact and is showing through. Quit denying it.
ReplyDeleteHis excuses for hiring people that the citizens will not respect is, as DA says, risible.
And the housing issue is not just wether or not it is income... I would say it is based on length of use and non family relationship....the real issue is the fact that he occupied a position of high influence with two groups that were doing business with the owner of his housing.
Can you spell graft? Bribe? Payola?
Pay for play?
I think it is time for a Special Prosecutor.
BTW - That's the Second Amendment, not the Fourth.
hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Enough said. Comment section closed.
