Obama Tells Us How Stupid He Thinks We Are

Rush Limbaugh   "OBAMA: 

No.  I -- I did not.  Uhhh, I just heard about this... I -- I get well briefed before I come out here.  Uh, th-th-the fact that some advisor who never worked on our staff, uhh, expressed an opinion that, uhh, I completely disagree with wuh, uhh, in terms of the voters, is no reflection on the actual process that was run. 

 

... "This is unbelievable.  This little sound bite of 23 seconds may be more jam-packed with lies than any 23-second presidential sound bite I've ever played for you.  "I did not.  I just heard about this just now. I get well briefed. I just heard about this.  The fact that some advisor who never worked on our staff..."  He was in meetings with Obama! Gruber has been bragging about them!"

 

 

(And Bill Ayres was "A Guy who Lives in my Neighborhood" )

 

"Here's Obama talking about all the various scandals he's faced, and they're not identified.  I could go through and tell you after the bite what each one's about, but it doesn't matter.  What you heard him say in Brisbane, "I didn't know about this! I just heard about this! I'm as mad about this as you are. I'm gonna get to the bottom of this," blah, blah.  We've got countless examples.  Here we go...

This is the Woman who interrupted Muslim prayer at National Cathedral

Wayne Dupree

 

"The popular Facebook group “Breitbart One Silenced Millions Awakened” was the first to report on the name of the woman who interrupted the National Cathedral Muslim Prayer Service.

"This is not the first time Christine Weick took a stand for her faith. Whether or not one agrees with Weick, there is no doubt that she is fearless when it comes to her beliefs.

"In her own words:

“ 'Worship Only Jesus Christ” The Testimony of the Woman Who Proclaimed Christ at the Washington National Cathedral"

 

Prayer carpets were arranged diagonally, to the side of the sanctuary, so worshipers could face in the direction of Mecca without seeing crosses or other Christian symbols

...

"She was immediately grabbed by the arms and forcibly led out of the church by two men. The unidentified woman’s interruption of the service was captured on video by one of the attendees and posted online at PamelaGeller.com."

 

Christian Woman Praying to Christ Ejected from MUSLIM Prayers at National Cathedral
..."Christians in Muslim countries suffer innumerable humiliations and brutalities at best, and genocide at worst; quisling Church leaders in the West not only continue to provide cover for the most extreme and brutal ideology on the face of the earth, but they turn over the churches to it.  And now the National Cathedral. Non-Muslims are not even allowed in Mecca."...

 

George W. Bush: I refuse to criticize Obama to protect the presidency

Legal Insurrection   "Since leaving the Oval Office, President Bush (43) has avoided the limelight. Choosing to spend time writing memoirs, perfecting his painting skills, and visiting soldiers, W. hasn’t weighed in on his predecessor’s decisions.

"Thursday, Sean Hannity interviewed Bush and asked him why he made the decision not to criticize President Obama, saying, “I’m sure you have a lot to say.”

"Still actively aware of what’s happening politically, W. explained, “I don’t think it’s good for the country to have a former President undermine a current President. I think it’s bad for the presidency for that matter.”

“ 'I really have had all the fame I want,” Bush said. “I really don’t long for publicity and the truth of the matter is that in order to generate publicity, apart from this, I’d have to either attack the Republican party, which I don’t want to do or attack the President, which I don’t want to do. And so I’m perfectly content to be out of the limelight.' ”
 

TV Anchor Melissa Francis Finally Reveals What Happened When She Questioned Obamacare On Air At CNBC

Weasel Zippers

 

Entire post quoted here:

Don’t question dear leader…
Via The Blaze:

Fox Business Network anchor Melissa Francis revealed on Friday that she was “silenced” by CNBC, her former employer, when she questioned the “math of Obamacare” on the air.
After slamming Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber’s comments about the “stupidity” of Americans, Francis told the story of what happened when she started asking questions about the health care law early-on.
She also alleged that “liberal media,” including NBC, ABC, the Los Angeles Times and the Associated Press, have yet to even cover the Gruber videos and are complicit in keeping the truth from Americans.
“It’s shocking, but it actually doesn’t surprise me because when I was at CNBC, I pointed out to my viewers that the math of Obamacare simply didn’t work. Not the politics by the way. But just the basic math. And when I did that, I was silenced,” Francis said.

How One Man Could Obliterate Obamacare

"Why an MIT health economist who was one of the health-care law's architects could cause its utter destruction."

The National Interest  ..."The Obamacare architect had already become Exhibit A in the Halbig v. Burwell case, now on its way to the Supreme Court, which could potentially make people who bought health insurance through the federal exchange ineligible for subsidies.

"Gruber—again, not once, but twice—publicly endorsed the view that Obamacare was designed in this way to encourage states to set up their own exchanges. Since many states did not, a large number of Americans obtained their coverage through the federally run HealthCare.gov. The law could fall apart if these people don't receive taxpayer subsidies."

Cost of Coverage Under Affordable Care Act to Increase in 2015

Another Friday document dump; when government doesn't want too many to notice a particularly distasteful bit of information. TD

NY Times   "The Obama administration on Friday unveiled data showing that many Americans with health insurance bought under the Affordable Care Act could face substantial price increases next year — in some cases as much as 20 percent — unless they switch plans.

 

"The data became available just hours before the health insurance marketplace was to open to buyers seeking insurance for 2015." ...Full article

Rep Louie Gohmert – Muslim Prayers in Church Mean Much More Than First Appears

Rick Wells  Speech quoted in its entirety below. Video.

 

"On Friday, Texas Republican Louie Gohmert read an article by Dr. Sebastian Gorka into the Congressional Record from the floor of the House. The article, which was published on Breitbart.com, was titled “Muslim Brotherhood Overruns National Cathedral in DC” and focuses on the recent “inter-faith” Muslim prayer service held there.

"The article points out how it was exactly one hundred years ago that the last emperor of Islam, or Caliph, declared his last jihad against the infidels and it coincidentally marks the first time that the church will be the site of a Muslim prayer service.

"Symbolism is a very important component of how things are done in the Muslim world.  Gorka points out that as part of World War One, the Caliph declared the “holy war” on the infidels and that it was that declaration which led to the genocide against Christian Armenians and Assyrians. Rep Gohmert has photos of their crucifixions as a backdrop to his comments.

"While noting that the history and the timing may not be known to the Episcopal leaders who agreed to allow the prayer service to take place, Dr. Gorka says it most certainly was known to the Muslim organizers, which included The Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR), The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) and the All-Dulles Area Muslims Society (ADAMS).

"The supremacist nature of Muslim groups such as Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood is now part of the Congressional Record, as is the fact that they are a modern day extension of the fundamentalist belief in a destiny and a mandate to rule the world under the iron fist of Muslim Sharia law.

"Their perverted mission to wipe all other faiths from the Earth is graphically exposed by the horror of the photos behind the Congressman. This is a real and very serious problem. What is happening in Syria and Iraq is a rebirth of this scourge upon our planet.

"Americans need to understand that fact and Rep Gohmert did us all a service by presenting Dr. Gorka’s information in the manner in which he did."

Obamacare Architect Exposes Progressive Totalitarianism

Bruce S. Thornton    ... "Or to put it in other terms, this set of progressive beliefs––which we have seen acted on for the last six years by the president and practically every government agency––is totalitarian at its core. Not the brutal despotism of Italian fascism or Soviet communism or German Nazism, but Tocqueville’s “soft despotism,” the kinder, gentler Leviathan which undermines self-reliance and self-government by taking responsibility for the people’s comfort and happiness, and financing its largess by the redistribution of property. But no matter how comfortable in the short-term, such a condition is nothing other than servitude. And as Tocqueville warns, “No one will ever believe that a liberal, wise, and energetic government can spring from the suffrages of a subservient people.' ”

Obamacare in Cartoons: New Graphic Novel Explains Health Care Reform

"MIT economist Jonathan Gruber has released his much-anticipated graphic novel describing the inner workings of Obamacare, just in time for the Supreme Court’s hearing on the constitutionality of the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act of 2010. Most of us do not have the time or the ability to slog through the 900+ pages of the actual Affordable Care Act, so this comic novel is just the thing to help make all of this information more comprehensible."

29th - Battle of Spring Hill, TN (Thomason's Station)

29th - Sand Creek Massacre, Colorado militia kills about 150 peaceful Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians including Cheyenne chief One-Eye


Also called the Chivington Massacre    ... "A dozen years later, as a change.org petition was pushing to rename the town of Chivington, once a bustling burg outside of Eads that today is a ghost town, members of the Sand Creek Massacre Commemoration Commission were meeting just a few miles away at the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site. The Chivington name change concept came up, and the tribal representatives were unanimous in the belief that the name should stay. "It was helpful to hear the tribes talk about that," says Nancy Wadsworth, an associate professor in DU's Department of Political Science who pushed the university's report through."

This was the basis for the fictional massacre by Col Skimmerhorn in the TV series "Centennial".

Illegal immigrants expecting amnesty from President Obama taunt and ridicule the overworked ICE officers

Washington Examiner  "Morale among officers at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, already low, has reached a new bottom as illegal immigrants expecting amnesty from President Obama taunt and ridicule the overworked officers, according to a new report.
“Yes,” said one, “working for this agency is hell right now.” Video at the link.

 

"Jessica M. Vaughan, director of policy studies for the Center for Immigration Studies... has charted the woes of the officers who carry out the president’s orders."

"The president's gradual, calculated dismantling of our immigration system has caused morale to plummet in the agencies of the Department of Homeland Security. Career immigration officials have courageously objected in public, and sometimes resorted to lawsuits to draw attention to the administration's subversion of the law. In denial about their principled objections to his scheme, now the president is hoping to stifle their voices by offering them a pay increase as part of this outrageous plan. His assumption that they are motivated by money shows just how little respect he has for the men and women who have devoted their careers to public service in immigration."

"Vaughan told Secrets that she has been concerned about morale in ICE and raised the issue with Homeland Secretary Jeh Johnson." ...
