Memory Loss, or HONOR loss?




Memory Loss, or Honor Loss?
This was originally posted by Pastor Ron Budwine on freedomworks.org


1.  It all began in the early stages of his run for the office of POTUS when he couldn't even remember his then-friend and Paster Rev. J. Wright was said to have "spewed" his now-famous hate speech while he attended services in Rev. Wright's church!



2. Then he couldn't remember ever being told about his associate, and neighbor, Professor Wm. Ayres being a leader of a home-grown terrorist movement called the Weather Underground and Communist, with his wife Bernadine Dohrnalso a Communist (they met at a Communist Party USA meeting!


3.  After winning the office of POTUS, he couldn't remember his promise to rid the Halls of Power in Washington, D.C. of all those "pesky" lobbyist that were thought to have caused corruption in government circles!

4.  He forgot that “Navy Corpsman” is not pronounced “Navy Corpseman”!

5.  He forgot his iron-clad promise to read every bill "line by line" to insure that NO "pork" was included, and was best for "The People"!
 
 6. He forgot that his choice for Sec. Of Treasury Geithner, was a proven "Tax Cheat" by his own admission!


7.  He forgot there were 50 states in the United States, rather than the 57 states he said he had visited.  Maybe that’s why he was gone for so long?


8. He forgot he had mentioned in his book “Dreams From My Father”, of a story in Life magazine that influenced him - about a black man trying to bleach his skin white. No such article could be found in Life or Ebony.  He also forgot that close friend, Communist,  and Weather Underground terrorist claims publically to have written the Obama book!


9. He forgot when on July 15, 2011, he said his birthday was in a week – Guess he forgot that his forged birth certificate says his birthday wouldn’t be until THREE weeks later, on August 4th!



10. He forgot that he was supposed to have a budget for every operating year for the government!



11. He forgot he had refused to answer the “Is homosexuality immoral” question by Chief of Staff Ge. Pace – a few weeks later after pressure from gay groups, he issued a statement that he did not agree with Pace that homosexuality is immoral!

 12. He forgot as a law professor, that the enemy captured in the field of battle were considered P.O.W.'s, not common criminal's to be tried in civilian court!

 13. He forgot that in "ObamaCare" people cannot keep their regular doctor as stated in public!

14. He forgot his forged birth certificate says he was born in 1961, but said in church that his parents had first met on March 1965, on “Bloody Sunday” in Selma, Alabama!

15. He forgot that as a signee of the Geneva Convention, that just like in WWII enemy combatants, not wearing uniforms and carrying identification ication can be hung as spies!
 

16. He forgot that both American bombs were dropped in Japan – one was NOT dropped at Pearl harbor!


17. He forgot that there is NO separate “Australian language”!


18. He forgot that the President should not attempt to disgrace the members of the Supreme Court in public, or before a Joint meeting of Congress!

19. He forgot when he wrote down the wrong year (2008) as he was signing into the Westminister Abbey guest book (2011) on a UK visit!
 

20. He forgot that is was important to fill his cabinet with people who were not tax cheats like Treasury Secretary Geithner, and Secretary of health & Human Services Daschle, and then daschle’s replacement Sebelius, and deputy director Office of Management and Budget Killefer, US trade representative Kirk, Labor Secretary Solis,  and Van johnson is a Communist who had to resign as one of Obama's czars!


21. He forgot that he publicly stated to the American people that his main focus was on JOB's every year he has been in office, yet unemployment has risen every year he has been in office!


22. He forgot when he refused to release 4 of his 32 czars as required in a bill passed by congress. That he had attacked Bush for using signing statements several years earlier, and promised that HE would NEVER do that!


 23. He forgot that he told the American people if we just "talked" to our enemies, and reached out to them, relations would become better, he did, and relations haven't become better, only worse with time!

24. He forgot that President Bush has been out of office for three years, and HE is calling the shots!
 
25. He forgot that HE called for the "hate-speech" to stop on both sides of "The Isle", but then condoned his Party's attacks, and Hoffa’s union threats on anyone opposed to Obama’s agenda including his V.P.

 26. He forgot that even he is accountable to the American people,and Congress by the Rule of Law!

 27. He forgot that the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights are still in effect, and he swore an oath to defend and uphold them before God!


I thought it appropriate to stop here, on the 27th item, knowing full well, this list could go on forever, but my fingers are getting tired.  Even with this incomplete list of issues, to the casual reader it would seem as though we have a person holding the most powerful position in the world who has trouble remembering some very important items, including the most important one listed which is he forgot WHO he works for and answers directly to - the American people!  He claimes to be a Constitutional Professor, but had sealed access to all records that could prove that!  He and his wife Michelle both turned their law licenses in to the Illinois Attorney registration and Disciplinary Commission, which are also sealed because they were “voluntarily” turned in.

Maybe the main stream media should get off Michelle Bachmann’s back, or at least fairly report Obama’s mistakes/lies?

With all these things having been pointed out, I believe that this verse from the Book of Psalm,Ch. 109:8 says it all!

ObamaCare "Family" Fracas?

This article was written by Dr. Milton R. Wolf, a Washington Times columnist, a board-certified diagnostic radiologist in Kansas, and President Obama’s second cousin once removed.  President Obama’s great-great grandfather, Thomas Creekmore McCurry, is Dr. Wolf’s great-grandfather.  Dr. Wolf’s mother, Anna Margaret McCurry, was five years older than Mr. Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham.  The two were childhood friends until the Dunhams moved from Kansas to Seattle in 1955.
Dr. Wolf blogs at http://wolffiles.blogspot.com/


"Selective enforcement of the law is the first sign of tyranny. A government empowered to determine arbitrarily who may operate outside the rule of law invariably embraces favoritism as friends, allies and those with the best-funded lobbyists are rewarded. Favoritism inevitably leads to corruption, and corruption invites extortion. Ultimately, the rule of law ceases to exist in any recognizable form, and what is left is tyranny.

America’s founders rejected that road to tyranny when they boldly declared that all men are created equal. They wrote a Constitution meant to secure the promise of equal protection under the law.

President Obama, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Democrats all, in their rush to take over America’s health care system, made all sorts of outlandish, unkeepable promises. Among the most egregious: Obamacare would allow you to keep your current health insurance and your doctor. Mr. Obama’s own Medicare chief actuary now acknowledges that Obamacare may cause up to 20 million Americans to lose their current health insurance policies, and doctors are increasingly leaving Medicare, Medicaid and the practice of medicine altogether. Good luck keeping them. Another unkeepable promise: Obamacare will create 4 million jobs, 400,000 jobs almost immediately.  The Congressional Budget Office’s budget director estimates the law actually will destroy 800,000 jobs.

Obamacare’s chickens, to borrow a phrase our president may have heard somewhere before, are coming home to roost. The law, as currently adjudicated, has been ruled unconstitutional. The president’s own secretary of health and human services, Kathleen Sebelius, has admitted a major section of the Obamacare law is "totally unsustainable".  Before casting his vote in favor of Obamacare, Sen. Kent Conrad, North Dakota Democrat, described it as "a Ponzi scheme of the first order, the kind of thing that Bernie Madoff would have been proud of".  Well, Mr. Conrad, Mr. Madoff certainly would be proud of you and your colleagues.

The now-familiar monthly trickling down of new waivers is, at best, a tacit admission that Obamacare is a failure. So far, seven entire states and 1,372 businesses, unions and other institutions have received waivers from the law. The list includes the administration’s friends and allies and, of course, those who have the best lobbyists.

More than 50 percent of the Obamacare waiver beneficiaries are union members, which is striking because union members account for less than 12 percent of the American work force. The same unions that provided more than $120 million to Democrats in the last two elections and, in many cases, openly campaigned in favor of the government takeover of your health care, now celebrate that Obamacare is not their problem.

But the political payoffs don’t stop there. The Obama administration didn't forget its closest friends in the latest round of waivers. Although there are 435 congressional districts across America, nearly 20 percent of the new waivers, amazingly, found their way to a single district - Mrs. Pelosi's.  As for Mr. Reid, well, the entire state of Nevada found an early waiver in its Christmas stocking.  After all, what kind of a political crony would the president be if he couldn’t pull a few strings?

The priorities of the Obama administration and its Democratic allies are on display with every waiver granted. The list of beneficiaries in Mrs. Pelosi’s district, for example, belongs in an episode of "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous".  Mrs. Pelosi, champion of the unions and no stranger to hypocrisy, has amassed a fortune as part owner of Napa Valley Auberge du Soleil resort - a luxurious non-union shop.  Now her luxury boutique colleagues also can benefit from her "do as I say" politics.  The "four-diamond luxury" hotel Campton Place, Tru Spa, Allure magazine’s "best day spa in San Fransisco”; Boboquivari’s and its $59 porterhouse steaks; and Cafe des Amis, "a timeless Parisian style brasserie", are among her beneficiaries.

As American families are being squeezed by increasing health insurance premiums as well as rising gasoline and grocery prices, I'm sure they'll be relieved to know that San Francisco's down-and-out millionaires will be protected from paying Obamacare’s bills.  Mercifully, Mrs. Pelosi’s limousine liberals will no longer be forced to beg for Grey Poupon from every Rolls-Royce passing by.

Why did these particular businesses receive waivers? The administration that calls itself the most transparent in history won’t say.  Nor will it explain why it has denied at least 79 requests from others.  Worse still, Health and Human Services has decreed that it will not even accept waiver requests from individuals, so if you choose to purchase your insurance directly, you have no recourse.

Americans deserve and, in fact, are guaranteed by our Constitution a level playing field. We were never promised equality in results, but we do deserve to play by the same rules and to be judged by the same standards. When a new law like Obamacare is so deeply flawed that its supporters openly violate these American bedrock principles to sustain it, it’s time to repeal that law.

I will repeat the same question I’ve been asking since the first health care waiver was granted: If Obamacare is such a great law, why does the White House keep exempting its best friends from it?

Here is another Obamacare opinion from Obama’s cousin, Dr. Wolfe:


Michele Malkin is not an Obama family member, but seems to have similar doubts as Obama cousin Dr. Wolfe, as expressed in her post from several months ago:

"Obamacare refugees first began beating down the exit doors in October 2010. It started with McDonald's and Jack in the Box; spread to Dish Networks, hair salon chain Regis Corp and resort giant Universal Orlando; took hold among every major Big Labor organization from the AFL-CIO to the CWA to the SEIU; roped in the nationalized health care promoters at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (whose board of trustees includes health care czar Nancy Ann DeParle); and is now gripping entire states (Florida, Tennesee, Ohio, New Jersey, Maine, New Hampshire and Nevada all recently received their waivers).
Now the west coast liberals seemed troubled about ObamaCare.  In the middle of House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi's congressional district, a cluster of San Francisco small businesses is among the latest recipients of get-out-of-Obamacare free passes. As Jamie Dupree of Cox Media Group and Matthew Boyle of The Daily Caller pointed out this week, there are at least two dozen Bay Area companies -- including bars, restaurants, hotels, tourist shops, real estate and auto firms -- that have secured temporary, one-year reprieves from the federal law. It's the San Francisco Treat that voters didn't foresee until after the bill was rammed down their throats.

Another noteworthy waiver winner: Seattle-based REI. The trendy Pacific Northwest outdoor equipment retailer's progressive CEO and Democratic campaign donor, Sally Jewell, appeared with President Obama in 2009 to tout White House health care reform initiatives. Two years later, REI received a waiver to protect the health benefits of a whopping 1,180 workers from the very tentacles of the big government bureaucrats that Jewell had embraced at Obama's roundtable.

To date, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has granted federal health care law exemptions to more than three million American workers covered by more than 1,300 unions, companies and insurers who had voluntarily offered low-cost health plans with annual benefits limits. Meddling Obamacare architects outlawed those private plans -- nicknamed "mini med" plans -- in the name of "patients' rights." But without special waivers, the escapees would have been forced to hike premiums or drop insurance coverage altogether for mostly low-wage, seasonal and part-time workers."

UPDATE: As of June 18,2011 exemptions to Obamacare now apply to over 3 million American workers, 1,372 companies and labor unions, and seven states because it is too expensive and unmanageable.

- Teamsters Local 734 Welfare Fund in Chicago

- Plumbers and Steamfitters Local 60 Health and Welfare Fund

- New York State Nurses Welfare Plan for New York City Employed Registered Professional Nurses

The ultimate goal, it bears repeating, is to force a massive, revolutionary and irreversible shift from private to public insurance designed by government-knows-best bureaucrats.

Pelosi and the Golden Ticket Administrators in Washington deny preferential treatment for waiver beneficiaries. But the stench of waivers-for-favors won't be dispelled until and unless the Obama administration releases a full list not only of those who won exemptions, but also of those who applied and were denied.

With San Francisco businesses caught with their hands in the waiver jar, Pelosi's office could do nothing else but pout: "It is pathetic," said Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill, "that there are those who would be cheering for Americans to lose their minimum health coverage or see their premiums increase for political purposes."

It is far more pathetic to have cheered, as Pelosi did on the one-year anniversary of Obamacare, the law's onerous benefits limits from which thousands of her own constituents have now been exempted.

Once again, the rest of America wants to know: Dude, where's my waiver?"
