A few months ago I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions still tell me that's true, but the facts and the evidence tell me it is not.

I love how the "but some past Republican did something sort of like that once" is such a popular "defense" of the Left. That argument is only tangentially relevant if the Right has changed position on the issue in question. Failing that (as it so often does), it's meaningless - mere misdirection.

Yeah, Cheney wouldn't allow himself to be exposed in such a stupid way that Obama did.

Thomas Collins

I hope this is a disinformation campaign by Prez 404 and his people. I would expect a POTUS to be aware of an initiative to spy on allies. It is believable that Prez 404 didn't know the details of the times that Frau Angie and others were on the phone or texting.

The truly disturbing thing about this is if ValJar decided that Prez 404 needed to be kept out of the loop on this.

I'm guessing and hoping that this is the plausible deniability card being played for reasons of reason of state.

Maybe we bugged Merkel at "The Behest of Dick Cheney."

As I recall "Dick Cheney's Behesting" was the word of the day back when he and "W" were in the White House.

Thomas Collins

I actually like the fact that whodat brought up Gipper in the context of a Prez 404 discussion. After all, they are both "bring down" Presidents. Gipper brought down the Sovs, and 404 is in the process of bringing down our health care system.

TC postes this question on the previous thread which I just caught up to.

Here's a query for those who know something about Virginia demographics and voting patterns (which I don't): Is Cuccinelli doing worse than usual in reddish areas, or are his problems with McAuliffe due to increasing population growth in Northern Virginia? Or perhaps a combination of both?

I don't know about Virginia Demographics, but my guess is that it is the same problem we have up here in Alaska. Most of the new jobs we have had up here over the last 4-5 years that I am aware of, are jobs for Government workers, mostly Federal. The private marketplace it expanding hardly at all, but every time I open up the paper, some new Government Environmental Studies Bureau or Walrus Board or Climate Think Tank or Polar Bear Research Group is opened, and invariably the people who fill those positions are not people who want to utilize our assets but are committed Leftists who want to limit our ability to use our assets,l and they vote accordingly---and they want to make walk our dogs on leashes, because that's how they did it back in wherever the hell they come from.

That's what we get up her as new voters, overwhelming the aging rugged individualists of old that used to make this state work. My guess is that in Virginia the new arriving folks are arriving because of Federal jobs, and people who show up for those jobs are not Tea Party Americans but are instead folks beholden to Govt getting bigger and bigger.

jimmyk:
Barry will never admit a mistake or even acknowledge that he made one. He is the consummate narcissist and doesn't realize his own limitations. He knew about all these scandals but the media and the WH allow him plausible deniability. We are forced into the position of proving that he knew. All his tracks have been covered as they would be in the perfect crime.

Iowahawk calls this the feel good story of the century

“I spent two years defending Obamacare. I had constituents scream at me, spit at me and call me names that I can’t put in print. The congressman was not re-elected in 2010 mainly because of the anti-Obamacare anger. When the congressman was not re-elected, I also (along with the rest of our staff) lost my job. I was upset that because of the health care issue, I didn’t have a job anymore but still defended Obamacare because it would make health care available to everyone at, what I assumed, would be an affordable price. I have now learned that I was wrong. Very wrong.”

From that Obama 2008 campaign pack of lies that Iowahawk links to:

BACKGROUND QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON HEALTH CARE PLAN

Q. I like my current insurance coverage. Will I have to change plans?

A. No, you will not have to change plans.
For those who have insurance now, nothing
will change under the Obama plan – except that you will pay less. Obama’s plan will
save a typical family up to $2,500 on premiums by bringing the health care system into the 21st century: cutting waste, improving technology, expanding coverage to all Americans, and paying for some high-cost cases.

Q. How will I be able to sign up?

A. Signing up for the plan will be easy. You will be able do it on your tax return, on the Internet, on forms you can get from your employer, in churches, libraries, motor vehicle bureaus and all sorts of places.

Les Nessman

Public employees should consider themselves lucky to get any pension at all.

Although i don't know why conservatives would want to decorate those warts with their tinsel.

Miss Marple

I always assumed we tried to bug all foreign leaders, as I assume they try to bug us.

The problem we are faced with that it became public. Obama could have pulled the "rogue elements acting without my approval" card, which would have given Merkel a face-saving way to not be publicly upset.

However, since they first denied it, then said Obama didn't know, they put Merkel in the awkward position of having to make a fuss, as well as somehow implying that we have a president who doesn't know what in the hell is going on.

This is bad, as it shows foreign leaders that he is too damned stupid to use diplomatic terms (which we already knew) and that he is incompetent (which we also knew). Our enemies will take note of this.

In addition, this ham-handed series of statements has given further credibility to Snowden, who right now can accuse Obama of sacrificing Bo's puppies in a Santeria ritual in the White House basement, and people will probably believe it.

MarkO

Why is anyone crediting Obama's clear lie that he knew nothing about the spying?

Either he is a liar (which he is) or he is the most incompetent head of any government ever.

"Pensions cut to 16 cents on the dollar"

Nope. That's a misinterpretation of crap reporting by Reuters. The 16 cents refers to the unfunded portion of pension liabilities, the funded portion is out of reach in bankruptcy. The unfunded portion is lumped in with unsecured debt - all those vendors who are going to get screwed right into the ground in Detroit au Prince.

The really nasty aspect is Kwame getting 28 years. He's the fall guy but there's a cast of thousands who deserve the cell next to him.

Janet, any word on Obamacare in Virginia. I should think if the experience there is like the experience elsewhere that should hurt McGoniff.

BTW - the crap reporting by Reuters is intentional. They're trying to elicit handwringing and tears for the poor pensioners having to take a haircut for the misfeasance, malfeasance and fraud committed in Detroit - BY THE POLS TO WHOM THEY SLAVISHLY GAVE THEIR VOTES IN EXCHANGE FOR EXORBITANT PENSIONS.

I can't gin up anything more than a chuckle over their plight.

These 23,000 pensioners are doomed, and Kwame's in no position to help them. Obummer? right let him bring up bailing out Detroit's pensions, that leads to a wonderful discussion of the solvency of Soc Sec and Medicare, and the expansion of medicaid for parasites. Just the discussion Obummer wants to have right now.

My view is that health-care reform should be guided by a simple principle: Fix what’s broken and build on what works.”

And in those fat return years, the fund managers gave pensioners a "13th month bonus." But don't worry, the fund managers "added" more to the funds in lean return years, right? And when returns kept falling, the managers raced into illiquid Private Equity because they never have down years or posivite correlation to traditional--liquid--asset classes, right?

Detroit's pensions were in better shape than I thought-- accordiing to Moody's 69% funded (see link below). The City is $3B short of meeting pension liabilities. So end of the day, looks like pensioners will get almost 75% of what was promised them. They are doing a heck of alot better than bondholders. The City will be locked out of credit markets, for a very long time. They'll ony be able to get what the State guarantees. http://www.statebudgetsolutions.org/publications/detail/the-real-size-of-detroits-pension-funding-gap

"what % of the Detroit Pensions are funded?"

The Detroit General Worker Fund is at 77%. Police and Fire are at 100%. Orr acknowledges that cuts to Police and Fire pensions aren't necessary. He wants to go to 401Ks going forward though.

Health insurance for retirees is a completely different matter. They're going to be dumped.

Clarice, This is all I've heard -

Extraneus
In his story, reporter Chad Terhune also quoted a letter sent to a California insurance company executive. "I was all for Obamacare," wrote a young woman complaining about a 50 percent rate hike related to the health care law, "until I found out I was paying for it."

Also of interest to the Democratic consultant: A Josh Barro column on Obama's promise that "if you like your health plan, you can keep your health plan." It was never a reasonable pledge, Barro argues, and it's being proven false. He called this "a good thing" because "a lot of existing health plans were bad." Reforming the nation's health care system "was necessarily going to have to change a lot of people's health plans," Barro wrote.

The Democratic consultant said none of this is news to him, but he wonders why Obama wasn't honest with Americans. He predicted surprise and outrage over higher costs and lesser coverage. "We will own this problem forever," the Democrat wrote.

NK(tryin'2.0)

JimmyK-- moody's estimated in June 69%, RickB's claims 77% funded (prio to Orr City CLAIMED 91% funded). So as RickB explainedhe pensioners will get the majority (I figure75+%) of promised pensions. The unsecured debts split? On friday, the City's witness testified that pensioners and Bondholders will get the same % split. So the City is as generous to pensioners as possible-- but sticking it to the Bondholders that way will have consequences for future borrowing attempts.

Jim Eagle

Sorry about that but left my computer for a minute and this is what I get:)

"And who gets paid first?"

Once their claim is verified, every unsecured debtor is in a very democratic position where no one is actually more equal. It ain't a matter of "first", it's a matter of "how much are we divvyin' up?".

Extraneus,

Many of the dim bulb girls where I get my hair done thought as little as late summer that they were getting FREE health care.

Obama left that impression as did many of his surrogates, in the clever ways they phrased things.

A fair portion of the electorate doesn't understand basic arithmetic, let alone insurance and the math used to establish risk and rates. Plus they thought that Obama was a truth-teller, a messiah.

The outrage is even more pronounced than from those of us who knew what to expect.

I intend to hang this debacle around the dem necks like a flock of albatrosses.

Federal judge rules part of Texas' new abortion law is unconstitutional

A federal judge on Monday blocked part of a recently signed Texas law that requires abortion doctors to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals.

District Judge Lee Yeakel wrote Monday that the provision violates the rights of abortion doctors to do what they think is best for their patients and would unreasonably restrict a woman's access to abortion clinics.

A Patriot

In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the
University of Edinburgh , had this to say about the fall of the
Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior: "A democracy is always
temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent
form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until
the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous
gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority
always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from
the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally
collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a
dictatorship."

"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the
beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200
years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage."
The Obituary follows:

Born 1776, Died 2012
It doesn't hurt to read this several times.
Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in
St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning
the last Presidential election:

Number of States won by: Obama: 19 Romney: 29
Square miles of land won by: Obama: 580,000 Romney: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million Romney: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:
Obama: 13.2 Romney: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory
Romney won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.

Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low
income tenements and living off various forms of government
welfare..."

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the
"complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of
democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population
already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase..

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million
criminal invaders called illegal’s - and they vote - then we can say
goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.

If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete this message.

If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize just how
much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our
freedom..
