Obama’s New Year’s Resolution: ‘Unfinished Business’ on Gun Control

by

Obama unveiled his new year’s resolution during his weekly address, and it’s all about the ‘unfinished business’ of gun control.

Continuing to make the statement that it’s just too easy for people to get their hands on guns, Obama said that he’ll be meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch on Monday to discuss what types of action can be done. Signaling that potential executive orders are not off the table.

The Blaze reports:

Obama recently directed staff at the White House to look into potential executive actions, such as expanding background checks.

A source familiar with the administration’s efforts said Obama is expected to take executive action next week that would set a “reasonable threshold” for when sellers have to seek a background check. That person didn’t know whether it would be based on the number of guns sold or revenue generated through gun sales.

The National Rifle Association opposes expanded background check systems. The organization’s Institute for Legislative Action says studies have shown that people sent to state prison because of gun crimes typically get guns through theft, the black market or family and friends. Emphasis added.

Making it harder for law-abiding citizens to purchase firearms does NOTHING to take them out of the hands of criminals and mentally disturbed people. All it does is make it more difficult for them to protect themselves and those around them.

Obama: Climate Summit to be ‘Powerful Rebuke’ to ISIL

by

Time after time we’ve heard Obama and his administration claim that nothing is a bigger threat to civilization than climate change. On top of that, every single democrat candidate makes the same claim.

Recently, Bernie Sanders tried to justify the terrorist attack in Paris claiming climate change caused a drought and they were all just really upset they couldn’t grow crops.

Seriously? What is wrong with these people?

Truly, liberalism is a mental disorder!

So, to top it off, Obama had a press conference at the White House with French President François Hollande urging Americans to unite against the threat of terrorism.

His proposal?

You guessed it, attend a climate change summit in France.

Obama said, “What a powerful rebuke to the terrorists it will be, when the world stands as one and shows that we will not be deterred from building a better future for our children.”

A ‘powerful rebuke?’

If you ask me… France and Russia dropping hundreds of bombs on ISIS controlled areas is a pretty powerful rebuke.

The Islamic State couldn’t give two craps about climate change, or global cooling, or global warming, or weather for that matter.

They care about one thing: killing anyone who doesn’t agree with them.

In 2006 Obama Said He Has ‘Stolen Ideas From Jon Gruber Liberally’

by

Over the weekend while at the G20 Summit, Obama was asked about Jonathan Gruber and he responded by saying he was an adviser that had nothing to do with Obamacare.

But, every day that goes buy we get to hear yet another sound byte from Gruber. Today is no different, except we get handed to us today a little nugget of gold with Obama saying he has ‘stolen ideas from Jon Gruber liberally.’

You just can’t make this stuff up people! They’ve tried to dupe you for years into thinking Obamacare was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Well, little did you know you thought you were buying a bottle of honey, only to get home and realize it was vinegar.

Watch for yourself:

NBC’s Chris Jansing Says Obama From Kenya?

by

On Tuesday, Chris Jansing of NBC appeared on MSNBC talking about Obama at the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit and said this:

“Yeah, the fact that he’s from Kenya and the fact that when he was elected there were expectations from the African continent that he would do great things for them.”

After about 10 minutes she appeared back on “The Reid Report” to say that she made a mistake, and that she meant to say that Obama’s father was from Kenya.

This little slip of hers make you wonder if she’s a silent birther or not. I’m not saying she is, and I’m not saying I am. What I am saying is that you can’t help but think that she’s thought about it before. This isn’t the sort of slip that a professional makes. And, it wouldn’t take 10 minutes to realize what you did or said. You would know it right away.

Mike Lee on How Conservatives Can Fight Obama’s Crony Economy

by

Sen. Mike Lee has an agenda on fighting Obama’s crony economy and how conservatives can do it.

At Heritage.org, Lee first addressed the fact that America and her economy is the ‘envy of the world’ and how many people are starting to ‘believe our system is rigged.’

It’s easy to side with people when Obama and his cronies step in with endless stimulus packages and bailouts, to continuing the false narrative of Global Warming/Cooling, to the takeover of 1/6th of the economy with Obamacare. These, and many more are hurting the economy and the American worker.

Mike Lee also brings to light something that should be on your radar in the form of the Export-Import Bank. Don’t know, or have never heard of the Ex-Im Bank?

In short, Ex-Im Bank exists to dole out taxpayer-backed loan guarantees to help American exporters. Most of the benefits go to large corporations that are perfectly capable of securing private financing anywhere in the world. That is to say, Congress allows Ex-Im Bank to risk taxpayer money unnecessarily to subsidize well-connected private companies.

So, what are Lee’s three principles on why we should fight Obama’s crony economy?

  1. We should do this to fix the economy, and fight against those who make it virtually impossible to create new jobs and competition.
  2. It’s a matter of basic justice, that the people have a ‘fundamental right to equal opportunity under the law.’
  3. Conservatives must make a stand and bear the burden of reform.

He also proposes policy reforms that:

  • force Congress to periodically reevaluate expensive regulations,
  • level the playing field for all energy producers,
  • open our higher education system to new students, teachers, and competition,
  • give Americans the right to choose whether or not to join a union,
  • cut out the bureaucrats who waste critical infrastructure funding,
  • and, yes, eliminate taxpayer subsidies to organizations like the Ex-Im Bank.

Fighting against Obama’s crony economy is something we will hear more of leading up to the 2014 elections and into 2016.

Is Obama Remaking the Federal Courts?

by

It seems like nothing will hold Obama back from one of his first promises way back when he first campaigned.

He promised to fundamentally change America, and he has done nothing but deliver.

One way is through the courts.

Heritage put out a chart illustrating just how many cronies he has been able to shuttle into the federal court system:

So, even after he’s out of office his presence will still be felt.

Sebelius: Obama Did Not Know About Obamacare Website Glitches

by

Kathleen Sebelius, HHS Secretary sat down in an interview with CNN’s Sanjay Gupta and said Obama didn’t know about the Obamacare website glitches.

Now, you know she’s feeding lies when after 22 days of having the website up and running, and all the coverage on the news, and all the press conference questions surrounding it, someone finally sits down and says a bold faced lie like that.

And then to have the nerve to say that they didn’t have time to build a website that would be glitch free? As tech-advanced as we are as a nation, most people understand that even the simplest of websites upon being launched will put it through the ringer.

There are services were you can ping your site and ‘force’ traffic to try and overload the servers. This is a no-brainer!

People, they are trying everything in the book to continue to sell you on Obamacare. It is in a death spiral and not even the great Obama can save it.

Watch the interview below:

Is Obamacare in a Credibility Death Spiral?

by

Obamacare is in a death spiral, and Obama headed out today to do damage control.

Look, this is the only thing Obama wants to be known for in history books. He owns Obamacare and he sees that during its roll-out, it has been a total failure!

HealthCare.gov is a joke of a website.

We were told that it had been tested to its max. We were also told that it would be easy to use.

Both of those were lies.

When it was officially launched, it broke. For those that were able to get through, found it beyond frustrating to navigate.

If that wasn’t enough, it seems that his media machine is starting to catch on.

Here is a snip from CBS This Morning talking on this very subject:

Is Backpedaling the New Strategy with Syria for Obama?

by

Putin to the rescue

 

Obama and his administration have taken a new approach to Syria! Backpedaling, and they are doing it in a hurry.

If you are among the majority of people that want the US to stay out of Syria, John Kerry might have just blundered his way to a resolution.

And if that’s not enough, Putin jumped all over it!

John Kerry said something to the effect that Assad could avoid American air strikes by giving up all his chemical weapons within a week.

Putin is calling on Syria to accept the offer, and they just might be warming up to the idea.

ABC News is reporting that Syria’s Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem, who met earlier in the day with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, responded with:

“The Syrian Arab Republic welcomed the Russian initiative, based on the concerns of the Russian leadership for the lives of our citizens and the security of our country.”

If it isn’t enough for Kerry to have seemingly screwed this all up for Obama, Syria is viewing this whole thing as a Russian lead initiative.

And is seems that Obama is okay with the whole thing. He sees this as a ‘potentially positive development,’ which could be a ‘significant breakthrough.’

President Obama said today that if Assad gives up his chemical weapons, a military strike would “absolutely” be on pause.

Classic presidential backpedaling to save face!
