Scandalous Hat Trick

“Mr. President, when it rains it pours, but most Americans hold their own umbrellas. Today in the Rose Garden you dismissed the idea of a Special Counsel to investigate the IRS scandal. With that, your galling political hubris shined bright in the midst of today’s dark clouds.

Mr. President, how can we trust your Justice Department to conduct an independent investigation when there is a systemic violation of the Hatch Act throughout your administration?

Surely you are aware that the Hatch Act prevents certain federal employees from engaging in political activity. Specifically, it’s illegal for these federal employees to engage in action in support of or in opposition to a political party, a candidate for partisan political office, or a partisan political group.

Yet that is exactly what’s happened within the IRS, the Justice Department, and in the Benghazi cover-up. This scandalous hat trick is on your watch. It is not believable that you knew nothing about Obama administration actions in dealing with these scandals. And in regards to Benghazi, when you should have taken appropriate action to save American lives – for instance by calling in the Marines – you were AWOL. Just weeks before the election your team scrubbed the Benghazi talking points in 12 different versions, lied to the American people about some YouTube video being to blame for the deaths of brave Americans who put our country first, and you prove Michael Barone right when he writes, “What actually happened in Benghazi was out of sync with the Obama campaign line.” That’s why you all did what you did. Pure raw politics were at play during a horrific time of loss.

For more evidence of Hatch Act violations right under your nose, simply consider DOJ’s “massive and unprecedented intrusion” into the free press. Do you think they picked up some political talk when tapping the phones in the House press gallery?

Your team is out of control. Those who cannot remember the past and learn from it are doomed to repeat it, and that is exactly what is happening. Look back exactly 40 years ago this week and apply that disheartening chapter of American history to the team you’ve chosen and lead today.

Some of us warned America; we cautioned voters in 2008 that a community organizer with no executive experience and no sense of accountability would be a very poor choice for the nation’s top management position.

Mr. President, you said today that you have “complete confidence” in the Attorney General. America doesn’t. Eric Holder needs to appoint an unbiased Special Counsel to investigate the illegal political action of this administration. And then Eric Holder needs to resign.

Most Americans see ominous dark clouds looming beyond the White House Rose Garden, Mr. President. They’ll roll away only when light is shined on the Obama administration’s antics, and America will only recover when you cease avoiding responsibility in this mission of yours to fundamentally transform America. For that to happen, the press had better learn from their experiences of being duped and provide a deserving public fairer, more intelligent coverage.

Speaking of coverage, glad you finally called in the Marines… shame it was just to hold your umbrella.“

Seems so easy and simple to me, why wouldn’t this be a standard test for everyone over 30? Could save so many lives.
Medical Test Uses Fingers To Predict Heart Disease – Blood flow in fingers shows years ahead

There’s now a new test that can predict a heart attack years — as many as seven years — before the patient has one.

Doctors don’t even look at your heart to conduct this test. They look at your fingers.

KCAL9′s Juan Fernandez spoke to Dr. Chris Renna of LifeSpan Medicine in Santa Monica to find out how the test works. “Endothelial function is the bomb. That’s the money,” he says. Dr. Renna says blood vessel health can be easily checked with the EndoPat test.

He showed Fernandez various charts showing patients with varying results. “You can see endothelial dysfunction in 30 year olds, you can prevent a potential lifetime of distress and misery by correcting that.”

Ed Murphy is being treated by another doctor. While he doesn’t have any heart disease symptoms, he did want to know if he was headed down the wrong path. “I think it’s time to keep an eye on things because after 50 everything goes down hill,” says Murphy.

During Murphy’s EndoPat test, doctors place blood flow sensors on one finger on each hand. Then a blood pressure cuff was inflated to stop blood flow to one hand. After five minutes, the cuff is deflated and the sensors then measure recovering blood flow.

In a normal patient, you see blood flow stop with the inflated cuff and then a rebound surge in blood flow. In an abnormal test, blood flow only recovers to what it was before the stoppage. This signals potential trouble in the heart.

“If the results are not normal you have to do lifestyle modifications lifestyle changes are in orders, to make them normal,” says Dr. Renna.

Simple changes in weight, diet, exercise and perhaps medication can hopefully restore normal blood vessel function and prevent possible heart attacks or strokes.
