What reason would Obama have to NOT go after our IRA or 401k?
From Western Center for Journalism: Full Steam Ahead On Obama’s Theft Of IRA’s And 401k’s ...."Linda and my daughter both want to know what the Obama administration intends to do after January 1. Is the national media so distracted by fiscal cliff hype that news concerning the potential federal theft of countless trillions from American citizens will not be forthcoming prior to January 1st?"
Obama going after your 401k’s and IRA’s Fear this man.
Others disagree emphatically with this: "This is a really stupid article, and posting this thread requires a complete failure of rational processes.
" This was a hearing to collect viewpoints on why Americans aren't saving as much as they probably should. The idea that the government is considering eliminating IRAs and 401k plans is absurd; the idea that they're actually on the verge of "confiscating retirement accounts" is braindead stupid.
" Seriously. You're a pretty bright person. Quit believing all this stupid bulls***."
The reply to this:
Other post-ers in this thread speak of "Wall Street" going after our money and they show a fearful ignorance of what Wall Street is. They have bought into the Obama-occupy philosophy and reveal it even while they refute conservative concerns.
I am a retired electrician, having worked with a tool bag all my career and (at present) not one of the left's despised factions in that regard. All those years my wife and I saved a good portion of our money, doing without many luxuries in order to prepare for retirement.
Much of our thanks goes to the hated "Wall Street" (In our case, Charles Schwab) for the growth of our money as their funds invested in the economy. Any wise decisions we made with our savings came from the wisdom of others who understood investing and the economy. We owe nothing to leftist academics nor to their progeny defecating in the streets and certainly not to Barack Obama.
In fact, "Wall Street's" help with our retirement has probably earned our family a place on Obama's enemies list. The Tunnel Dweller

The reply to this:
They are talking about it. Can you deny that?
---The hearing, held in the Labor Department’s main auditorium, was monitored by NSC staff and featured a line up of left-wing activists including one representative of the AFL-CIO who advocated for more government regulation over private retirement accounts and even the establishment of government-sponsored annuities that would take the place of 401k plans.
A representative of the liberal Pension Rights Center, Rebecca Davis, testified that the government needs to get involved because 401k plans and IRAs are unfair to poor people. She demanded the Obama administration set up a "government-sponsored program administered by the PBGC (the governments’ Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation)." She proclaimed that even "private annuities are problematic."

Twisted ghouls descend on murder victim, American hero Chris Kyle
Twitchy Liberals (meaning "progressives", leftists, Obama voters) rejoice at the killing of U.S. Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle, author of the New York Times bestseller American Sniper.
"Unbelievable. Because to some on the anti-gun Left, the terrible murder of an American military hero is an opportunity to LOL, score political points about gun control, and talk about “karma.” What is wrong with these people?!"
Ron Paul ✔ @RonPaul

Chris Kyle’s death seems to confirm that “he who lives by the sword dies by the sword.” Treating PTSD at a firing range doesn’t make sense.
In case you missed it…
From the blog, This ain't Hell, but you can see it from here comes this tribute to what they say is the best Super Bowl commercial ever.
"I missed it because I haven’t watched sports for years, but I read reviews of the Jeep/USO commercial on Facebook and it was everything they said it was. The good folks at the USO sent us the video;"

Obama Administration: We Will Still Force Christians to Act Against Their Faith
"HHS released a new proposed regulation under the Obamacare law that the department presented as an accommodation to religious “organizations” that object to providing sterilizations, contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs in their health care plans. However, the proposal does not truly expand the exceedingly narrow religious exemption presented in the initial regulation, which was finalized last year, and continues to offer no exemption at all to Christian individuals or business owners."
HHS Mandate: Another Offensive Update
The Foundry
"The latest proposal fails to protect businesses such as Tyndale House, the nation’s largest Bible publisher; or Hercules Industries, a family-owned and operated HVAC company; or Hobby Lobby, an arts and crafts retailer—all of which seek to operate according to deeply held religious and moral beliefs.
In fact, the Administration explicitly states that it does “not propose that the definition of eligible organization extend to for-profit secular employers.”
"Even for organizations that qualify for the accommodation, the government would still require material cooperation by employers and unnecessarily entangle them in providing services to which they hold moral or religious objections."

What do we take from the fact that Iran likes Hagel, but our ally Israel worries about him?
Can Jewish Groups Speak Out on Hagel? "However, the Hagel nomination illustrated that groups that see themselves as above politics can't entirely avoid some fights. The nomination of a person who has publicly bragged about his standing up to the "Jewish lobby" and opposed sanctions or even the threat of using force against Iran should have crossed the line between something that merely raised eyebrows and battle that needed to be fought."

Chuck Hagel's Confirmation Hearings..And What They Tell Us About President Obama
"Actually, the Iranians are not the only anti-semites backing Chuck Hagel. Here's
well known anti-semite, anti-Israel shill and former member of George Soro's
Media Matters M.J. Rosenberg, who
tweeted: "I spent a couple of hours with Hagel a few years ago. Talked about
Israel. Happily, he is lying today & knows it. He'll be a good SeDef"." From Joshuapundit
Why did Iran endorse Hagel? Well, remember that they endorsed Obama too. To hate Israel is to love Obama; how can it be said otherwise?
"Then, in 2007, Hagel voted against designating Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps as a terrorist organization, despite the force’s role in orchestrating attacks against U.S. troops in Iraq. Hagel further opposed the Iran Counter–Proliferation Act and sent a letter to President George W. Bush, urging him to engage in “direct, unconditional, and comprehensive talks with the Government of Iran.” "

The Real Barack Obama
John Fund "He’s a man of the Left, and now he sees no need to hide it."
" Obama has every right to reach far to the left as he tries to reorient America to his liking, much as Reagan did his best to turn America to the right in the 1980s. The difference is that Reagan never hid who he was, what he believed in, and who his staunchest allies were. Obama has consistently cloaked his beliefs and associations, aided by a compliant media that have abetted and adored him every step of his career. Now that Obama has become more forthright about who he is, we can fight the ideological battle over his ideas in earnest. Let’s hope that he now displays more honesty and clarity about his beliefs than he treated the American people to during his two presidential campaigns."

America Gets 'Te'o'd' by Obama "When will the American people wake up to the incredible hoax that is currently being perpetrated upon them? Much like Te'o, Americans are involved in an emotional relationship with an individual despite most having never met him face to face. That individual is President Obama. But unlike Te'o's relatively harmless "girlfriend" hoax, President Obama's hoax, thanks to the help of the MSM, is a threat to every American and threatens the survival of the republic as we know it.
"Fortunately, the new media is willing to step up and do the job the ideologically driven MSM refuses to do. "So just to be clear on a few of the crazy things we've been told:" Read more:
Obama Wants Your Guns, Homeland Security Says Defend Yourself With Scissors
theintelhub.com "Apparently, “Defend yourself with a legal firearm” is not part of the new Department of Homeland Security curriculum.
"They have now resorted to a training video that encourages you to use scissors to protect yourself in the event that you are a victim of a shooting."
"They have now resorted to a training video that encourages you to use scissors to protect yourself in the event that you are a victim of a shooting."
Hope n' Change ...."That's why the Department of Homeland Security has produced a video which
explains that in an "active shooter" situation, you can take out the bad guy using an ordinary pair of
scissors - assuming that the shooter isn't wearing body armor, that he
doesn't see you coming, that you don't slip in the blood of other victims, and
that the shooter doesn't turn you into swiss cheese when he gets tired of
receiving annoying little jabs."
...."No mention is made of "shooting back," because the only people who should be
carrying guns are police, lunatics, and the Mexican drug cartels. Additionally,
the video doesn't clarify whether it would be permissible to use scissors
against a radical Muslim like Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hassan, considering
there's a chance you might accidentally cut off part of his holy
beard."
Oh, yeah; there's this point of view on the subject as well.
What Uncle Sam can (and cannot) do to improve K–12 schooling: Lessons for the next four years
American Enterprise Institute
President Barack Obama and Education Secretary Arne Duncan talk in a hold area before the President delivers his third annual back-to-school speech at Benjamin Banneker Academic High School in
Washington, D.C. Sept. 28, 2011.
"...because decisions directly affecting individual schools are made at the state and local levels, Washington bureaucrats have largely failed at enforcing mandates and fixing poorly performing schools. The new Obama administration would do well to embrace a more measured approach to education reform that reflects lessons learned from past successes and failures."
