Tingles plays paddy cake with Obama on his BIG interview and the wanna be king plays along. I can’t tell you how pathetic Chris Matthews is, his entire world is wrapped around enabling Obama and his regime no matter how bad they have screwed up this country. Chris Matthews should be arrested for impersonating a newsman. 
It is not surprising that government requires more and more revenue just to exist. Just take a look at a small government entity built on good intentions, but ballooned to a behemoth in just over 60 years, one generation. What will the next sixty look like?
The disability program originated in the 1950s as a means to provide support for workers over 50 who became disabled on the job and were unable to continue working in advance of retirement. The program was small, but provided critical support to workers who had been injured on the job.
As the report from Our Generation details, however, eligibility requirements have been loosened, benefits increased and the applications process cannot effectively distinguish between genuine disabilities and fraud. As a result, the program spends over $130 billion a year. That amount is more than the federal government spends on highways and transportation or education.
“Social Security Disability Insurance is meant to provide assistance to Americans who are unable to work due to physical or mental disabilities. Unfortunately, 8.9 million Americans now collect disability benefits, and this well-intentioned program has ballooned into a $135 billion bureaucracy rife with waste, fraud and abuse,” said MacMillin Slobodien, Executive Director of Our Generation.
In the rush to tax the population under the guise of social justice, we have ultimately given ourselves up to servitude. When you work for three to six months out of the year to pay government taxes, you have been pressed under the thumb of tyranny. We are a free people….free to work and pay taxes….and if you don’t pay you are fined or jailed.
I don’t mind paying my fair share, but this is ridiculous, and wait until Obamacare costs skyrocket, they will scream for more revenue in the form of higher taxes. Bank on it.
Apparently Obama has decided to step away from his healthcare disaster and pivot to his other disaster, the US economy. And he wants to save us all by shrinking the income gap.
President Barack Obama says the income gap between America’s rich and poor is a “defining challenge of our time.”
Life isn’t fair, it never has been. In the immortal words of Judge Smails from Caddyshack:
Danny Noonan: I planned to go to law school after I graduated, but it looks like my folks won’t have enough money to put me through college.
Judge Smails: Well, the world needs ditch diggers, too.
Life isn’t about fair. They didn’t have participation trophies back in my day, being unemployed was frowned upon, being on welfare or food stamps was considered an embarrassment. If you were on some kind of disability, your family and local charities helped out. Now all of these things are a way of life. Why work when you can live fat and happy on the government dole.
Wealth distribution or “income gap equality” as Barry likes to say goes against every principle America was built upon. If you are 30 years old and working at Burger King that is what you have chosen for yourself, if you don’t like the wages, get another job.
I knew that Obama was a fraud….couldn’t prove it….he had everything sealed, forged, or some crazy alibi for his great and wonderful rise to power, but this article shines a little light on the mindset of a fake.
If you have not read this from Peggy Noonan, you should. Very well done.
For four years I have been told, by those who’ve worked in the administration and those who’ve visited it as volunteers or contractors, that the Obama White House isn’t organized. It’s just full of chatter. Meetings don’t begin on time, there’s no agenda, the list of those invited seems to expand and contract at somebody’s whim. There is a tendency to speak of how a problem will look and how its appearance should be handled, as opposed to what the problem is and should be done about it. People speak airily, without point. They scroll down, see a call that has to be returned, pop out and then in again.

As mentioned in my last post on the subject of Healthcare.gov the stupid website will eventually get fixed and the Obama regime will claim victory…well:
The Obama administration claimed victory Sunday for making HealthCare.gov workable for the vast majority of users….
The agency that oversees HealthCare.gov said “we believe we have met the goal” of making the system navigable for most people, but cautioned that more problems may lie ahead.“Dramatic progress has been made,” the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) stated in a report released Sunday morning. “[But] there is more work to be done to continue to improve and enhance the website.”
There, you see what they did? They have a massive problem with the site, throw more money and experts at it, get it functional, then claim a victory as though they have accomplished something spectacular. In reality all they have done is put a band-aid on a problem that should not have happened in the first place. Now watch the media start blathering about how things have turned around and Obama is great…All Hail Obama!
Remember, Obama lied. Period!
In the rush to swing off Obamas jock once again, the main stream media, including the New York Times and USA Today, post headlines that are blatantly false.
The New York Times is running the story of the Iran nuclear deal with a headline that’s big on cheerleading and small on facts. The headline says “Deal reached with Iran halts its nuclear program.” The deal does no such thing. It actually allows Iran to continue it’s nuclear enrichment of uranium, as the article attached to the headline clearly states.
According to the agreement, Iran would agree to stop enriching uranium beyond 5 percent. To make good on that pledge, Iran would dismantle links between networks of centrifuges.
All of Iran’s stockpile of uranium that has been enriched to 20 percent, a short hop to weapons-grade fuel, would be diluted or converted into oxide so that it could not be readily used for military purposes. No new centrifuges, neither old models nor newer more efficient ones, could be installed. Centrifuges that have been installed but which are not currently operating could not be started up.
The agreement, however, would not require Iran to stop enriching uranium to a level of 3.5 percent or dismantle any of its existing centrifuges.
The accord was a disappointment for Israel, which urged the United States to pursue a stronger agreement that would lead to a complete end to Iran’s enrichment program.
But Iran made it clear that continuing enrichment was a prerequisite for any agreement.
The United States did not accept Iran’s claim that it had a “right to enrich” under the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. But American officials signaled earlier this week that they were open to a compromise in which the two sides would essentially agree to disagree on how the proliferation treaty should be interpreted, while Tehran continued to enrich.
Just got this in an email, thought I would share.
A Canadian female liberal wrote a lot of letters to the Canadian government, complaining about the treatment of captive insurgents (terrorists) being held in Afghanistan National Correctional System facilities. She demanded a response to her letter. She received back the following reply:
National Defense Headquarters
M Gen George R. Pearkes Bldg., 15 NT
101 Colonel By Drive
Ottawa , ON K1A 0K2
Canada
Dear Concerned Citizen,
Thank you for your recent letter expressing your profound concern of treatment of the Taliban and Al Qaeda terrorists captured by Canadian Forces, who were subsequently transferred to the Afghanistan Government and are currently being held by Afghan officials in Afghanistan National Correctional System facilities.
Our administration takes these matters seriously and your opinions were heard loud and clear here in Ottawa You will be pleased to learn, thanks to the concerns of citizens like yourself, we are creating a new department here at the Department of National Defense, to be called ‘Liberals Accept Responsibility for Killers’ program, or L.A.R.K. for short.
In accordance with the guidelines of this new program, we have decided, on a trial basis, to divert several terrorists and place them in homes of concerned citizens such as yourself, around the country, under those citizens personal care. Your personal detainee has been selected and is scheduled for transportation under heavily armed guard to your residence in Toronto next Monday.
Ali Mohammed Ahmed bin Mahmud is your detainee, and is to be cared for pursuant to the standards you personally demanded in your letter of complaint. You will be pleased to know that we will conduct weekly inspections to ensure that your standards of care for Ahmed are commensurate with your recommendations.
Although Ahmed is a sociopath and extremely violent, we hope that your sensitivity to what you described as his ‘attitudinal problem’ will help him overcome those character flaws. Perhaps you are correct in describing these problems as mere cultural differences. We understand that you plan to offer counselling and home schooling, however, we strongly recommend that you hire some assistant caretakers.
Please advise any Jewish friends, neighbours or relatives about your house guest, as he might get agitated or even violent, but we are sure you can reason with him. He is also expert at making a wide variety of explosive devices from common household products, so you may wish to keep those items locked up, unless in your opinion, this might offend him. Your adopted terrorist is extremely proficient in hand-to-hand combat and can extinguish human life with such simple items as a pencil or nail clippers. We advise that you do not ask him to demonstrate these skills either in your home or wherever you choose to take him while helping him adjust to life in our country.
Ahmed will not wish to interact with you or your daughters except sexually, since he views females as a form of property, thereby having no rights, including refusal of his sexual demands. This is a particularly sensitive subject for him.
You also should know that he has shown violent tendencies around women who fail to comply with the dress code that he will recommend as more appropriate attire. I’m sure you will come to enjoy the anonymity offered by the burka over time. Just remember that it is all part of ‘respecting his culture and religious beliefs’ as described in your letter.
You take good care of Ahmed and remember that we will try to have a counsellor available to help you over any difficulties you encounter while Ahmed is adjusting to Canadian culture.
Thanks again for your concern. We truly appreciate it when folks like you keep us informed of the proper way to do our job and care for our fellow man. Good luck and God bless you.
Cordially,
Gordon O’Connor
Minister of National Defense
Add our military academies to the list: Prior shutdowns did not shutter intercollegiate academics and athletics. The White House has ordered them suspended, causing Army, Navy and Air Force teams (soccer, football, rugby, equestrian, debate, speech, etc.) not only barred from competition, but barred from practice too. Academy instructors have had to leave as most are not regular military. Our cadets are eating emergency stashes of extremely high calorie and high fat MREs (confirming Michelle Obama is a fraud), all because the AWOL commander in chief ordered them punished so that he might benefit from press blaming it on the House Republicans.
This guy gets it, does not matter skin color.
Let me take a few moments to simply explain what has happened in Washington DC. Once the President signs something into law, it is supposed to apply to everyone, unless that president is Obama. He has granted waivers, exemptions, and delays to his cronies and allies.
House Republicans asked that if delays, waivers, and exemptions to this “fantastic” law were good for some, they should be good for all Americans. But Obama, Reid, and Pelosi said no.
House Republicans asked that a specific 2.3% medical device tax, which is causing jobs to ship overseas, be repealed. Again, Obama, Reid, and Pelosi said no.
And now Obama is threatening to veto a measure to support veterans program spending.
Obama, the liberal media, and Democrats are lying to you America. They don’t give a damn about you, just power. Obamacare is not a law, according to our Constitutional Republic, because laws apply to everyone. But not in King Obama’s empire.
