An Impeachable Moment

BO"s really done it this time.  If you have been reading this for a while, I put my comments in blue. I do it because the democrats make such outrageous statements that a new reader might think they happened on a comedic site. A perfect example is, then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s comment to the Legislative Conference about Obamacare, “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.”   WOW. That was stupid then, we just learned it was a dramatic understatement.

We know that Obamacare is a fiscal nightmare, we know that it is 1/6 of our economy, we know that it was written in secret WITHOUT ANY REPUBLICANS knowledge of the contents. What we didn't know, is the incredible amount of  power transferred from Congress to the executive branch. In fact, Congress’s abdication is still unknown.  We do know that deeply buried within 2,700 pages this is Obamacare, a $105 billion slush fund that assures it survives in the future, no matter what future voters think or want.

Congressional Research Service (CRS) report found that, unknown to almost every Member of Congress, (certainly to all Republicans). Obamacare contains $105 billion in direct implementation spending that bypasses Congress’s normal appropriations process.

Obama has complete discretion to the bureaucrats that he appointed.  I told you first about McDonalds, then what became hundreds of waivers granted by HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius for Obamacare exemptions.  Oversight should include monitoring and exposing how the Administration uses our money. $3,184,000 was spent by Kathleen on advertising to convince us how great this turkey is and how damn lucky we are to have Obama for giving it to us. We still knew that he was blowing smoke.

The Honorable Ernest J. Istook, Jr., a former Member of Congress, has been looking into the funding of Obamacare since the law was passed. He said, "Making years’ worth of spending decisions in advance is an attempt to handcuff the current Congress and prevent it from determining current levels of spending. … The funds in Obamacare are not budget projections but actual appropriations of money. Obamacare goes far beyond any precedent for making appropriations for future years; it is an outrageous effort by the former Congress to bind the current and future Congresses in this way."

Rep. Michele Bachmann is threatening to leverage a must-pass budget bill to ensure Congress strips billions of dollars from the federal health care overhaul -- money she says was unfairly baked into the law. "This is a crime against democracy," she said. "No one knew that Harry Reid, Pelosi and Obama put $105 billion in spending in the bill. ... This is a bombshell."

It becomes more difficult for Republicans who want to de-fund the policy through the annual appropriations process. Michelle Bachmann said she wants to include language demanding the money back in the next short-term budget bill, which will probably be required to fund the government when the latest short-term bill expires March 18. You go girl!



Would you believe that it gets worst?  Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on Capitol Hill have set criticism around Obama’s health care law and how the law, will have “double counted” on Medicare -- and, therefore, does not have the
savings  claimed by Pinocchio and the CBO. I said time and time again the CBO was in Obama"s corner. They take the numbers given to them by BO and build a model from what he gives them.

The Affordable Care Act, (Obamacare), adds 12 years to the Medicare trust fund, according to every actuary, and the $500 billion represents a slowdown in the growth rate of Medicare over 10 years from what was projected at 8 percent to a growth rate,” Sebelius said during questioning by Rep. John Shimkus, R-Ill.  Shimkus pushed the issue, asking for Sebelius to explain if the president was using the $500 billion to save Medicare or fund Health Care Reform Sebelius added one word – “both.”



Critics, (like me), have said the president is misleading Americans, because the “cuts” actually are set aside to pay for other programs. March 2010, "Special Report" anchor Bret Baier specifically questioned Obama about the issue.  Obama at the time made it clear – there was no robbing Peter to pay Paul in the health care legislation.
“You can't say that you are saving on Medicare, and then spend the money twice,” Pinocchio is doing the Obama Hustle.
Be honest, had you known this, as well as everything BO has lied about, Would you vote for him?

In one of his first speeches he said:

1.  America will ratify more treaties and turn to international organizations more often to deal with global crises and security concerns like nuclear weapons, often before turning to our traditional friends and allies;

2. America will emphasize diplomacy and “soft power” instruments such as summits and foreign aid to promote its aims and downplay military might;

3.  America will adopt a more humble attitude in state-to-state relations; and

4.  America will play a more restrained role on the international stage.

Would you have voted for him now?  I really want to know your thoughts. You can write your comments here or CarolynTalking@gmail.com or Carolyn @CarolynsVoice.net  God Bless!
