Got this e-mail from my Congressman a few minutes ago:

November 20, 2013
Dear Mr. *****,
Thank you for contacting me regarding recent abuse of power scandals within the Obama Administration, particularly those at the Department of Justice (DOJ). I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
New facts and information are emerging daily regarding the recent scandals engulfing the White House, and these incidents are currently under investigation by numerous congressional committees. These scandals have a similar tone – one having to do with abuses of power. Investigations must continue, because there are lots of unanswered questions.
As you know, Attorney General Eric Holder is the head of the DOJ, the agency that secretly obtained two months of logs for phone lines used by more than 100 Associated Press reporters without a court order. While legal, subpoenas of this nature are supposed to be authorized by the Attorney General, but this action was authorized by his deputy. On May 15, the Attorney General testified before the House Judiciary Committee, where he was asked about this. I watched large portions of the hearing, and was shocked as the Attorney General repeatedly replied to questions with statements along the lines of "I don't know" or "I don't have a factual basis to answer the questions you have asked because I recused myself."
You may remember that the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform (OGR) spent much of last year investigating Project Gunrunner. OGR issued subpoenas for Department of Justice documents related to Project Gunrunner, of which Operation Fast and Furious is a component. However, as a result of Attorney General Holder's unwillingness to comply with a congressional subpoena to produce relevant documents associated with Project Gunrunner, on June 27, 2012, the House of Representatives passed a resolution (H. Res. 708) with my support holding the Attorney General in contempt of Congress.
You may be interested to know that on November 14, 2013, Representative Pete Olson (R-TX) introduced H. Res. 411, calling for the impeachment of Attorney General Holder "for high crimes and misdemeanors," listing as examples Operation Fast and Furious, the failure to enforce federal laws like the Defense of Marriage Act, obtaining the AP phone logs, and the failure to prosecute IRS officials for targeting conservative groups. You may also be interested to know that provisions in the current House Rules, which passed the House of Representatives with my support by a vote of 228-196 on January 3, 2013, keep in place legal obligations on Attorney General Holder and others at the Justice Department as a result of subpoenas issued in the previous Congress. These provisions allow the civil suit associated with Project Gunrunner, which seeks to compel the production of relevant documents from the Justice Department, to continue. This suit is ongoing.
For more information on what is happening in Congress, please visit my website at www.morgangriffith.house.gov. If I may be of further assistance to you on this, or any other issue, please feel free to contact me in my Washington, DC office at (202) 225-3861. I remain

Doesn't matter. Hillary will pick up Obama's hammer and sickle, rename it the Torch of Liberty, and the Useless Idiots will blindly continue to destroy America from within.

I really hope you're wrong. I think you're right, but I really hope you're wrong. It's amazing how stupid people can be when being offered free shit.

So if you had a friend who straight up lied to you face on a daily basis for 5 years straight, would you keep them as a friend?
I know I allow friends into my life that I would never want as a leader. I set standards higher for things like leaders. If I had a friend who treated me this way, they would never set foot in my house again. You?

So, now that we finally have proof (that even the left can believe) that the president is a chronic, habitual, serial liar misleader, can we revisit the personal details of his life before he became a professional politician again?
No, you're probably right: Even though his presidency has been one big bed of lies misleadings, I'm sure everything he told us about his personal life - y'know, trivial little things like, say, where our president was actually born, as one example - I'm SURE he wouldn't lie mislead us about something as important as that.

If it were only as simple as getting rid of only one person (OBama) I fear there is a long list of others that should go as well. Speaking of fear, of wich I have very little when it comes to life, health, disease(s), violence, age, work, motorcycles, skydiving, hang gliding, bar fights, paying bills, gunlaws.......... The one thing that scares the crap outa me is this f'ed up gov't. After the "O" goes- so should a bunch of others...Hillary too! What ever happened to that older dude with the ears from Texas. We need guys like that!

I was thinking that with the 3-d printing .... that there could be a market for pee-cakes (the mint scented pucks in the urinals) in the faces of your favorite politician......
IF you build them, send me one the idea is free for you to use
The one on the right really is a little man destined for the dustbin of history as the worst president in US history. How can YOU support this travesty? Why are YOU not providing facts and argument of why Obama is good for OUR country. YOU had no shortage of words and hyperbole in 2009. Why the silence in 2013? Are YOU afraid of the truth? Why? Conservatives are willing to listen to your arguments. Speak up.
Can YOU argue that the Obama administration is NOT Orwellian?
ObamaCare-Speak Fails to Mask an Evolving Fiasco By Victor Davis Hanson · Nov. 21, 2013 excerpts:
quote:
The Obama administration once gave us “man-caused disasters” for acts of terrorism and “workplace violence” for the Fort Hood shootings. Now it has trumped those past linguistic contortions by changing words to mask the Obamacare disaster.
quote:
The president's attempt to airbrush history is similar to the commandments on the barn wall in George Orwell's “Animal Farm.” One day the commandment “All Animals are Equal” mysteriously appears rewritten with a new qualifier beside it, as if it had been there all along: “All animals are equal – but some animals are more equal than others.”
quote:
The administration has also downplayed the disaster by claiming that the more than 30 million who lost their coverage represent only “5 percent” of the insured. But even if that number is not far too low, try using that minority percentage argument on issues like gay rights. If millions of gays represent only about 5 percent of the population, is federal policy that affects gays negatively not really that important?
quote:
The freebie provisions of keeping kids on parental plans until they turn 26 and ensuring coverage for those with pre-existing conditions were cynically frontloaded before the 2012 election – while the painful details and higher costs were backloaded after the president's expected re-election.
Bill Clinton has been in the news lately which got me to thinking that Obama will one day be an ex-president and whereas Clinton is still a major attraction and pulls down big bucks making speeches and appearances, Obama will be lucky if he can book a ribbon cutting at a new 7-11 in Pig Trough, IL. Jimmy Carter stayed somewhat relevant working with Habitat for Humanity. I doubt Obama knows which end of a hammer to hold on to.
...... if they have it ..... I get the sneaking and upset gut feeling that there will not be elections for 2016 - I have had that feeling since 2009; damnit - I hate to be right again - keep your powder dry and get to the range. DAMHIK.
PS on the Animal Farm Barn Wall EVERY ammendment of the Bill of Rights has a caveat to it - every last one of them.
The pigs are running the place alright, and the sheep think it is 'better' or 'different' when the "capitalists - owners" ran it.... idiots.
The U.S. government has just passed a new law entitled “The Affordable CAR Act” declaring that every citizen MUST purchase a new car by April, 2014.
These ‘affordable’ cars will cost an average of $54,000-$155,000 each. This does not include taxes, tags, registration, fuel, maintenance, or repair costs.
This law has been passed because, until now, typically only wealthy and financially responsible people have been able to purchase cars. This new law ensures that every American can now have an ‘affordable’ car of their own, because everyone is ‘entitled’ to a new car. If you purchase your car before the end of the year, you will receive four ‘free’ tires (does not include mounting).
In order to make sure everyone purchases an ‘affordable car,’ the cost of owning a car will increase on average of 250-400% per year. This way, wealthy people will pay more for something that other people don’t want or can’t afford to maintain. But, to be fair, people who can’t afford to maintain their car will be regularly fined and children (under the age of 26) can use their parents car(s) to drive until they turn 27, after which date they must purchase their own car.
If you already have a car, you can keep yours (not really). If you don’t want or don’t need a car, you are required to buy one anyhow. If you refuse to buy one or can’t afford one, you will be regularly fined $800 until you purchase one, or face imprisonment. If you cannot (or don’t want to) purchase an ‘affordable car’ from a private business, you can buy a starter car from the U. S. government ‘affordable car exchange.’ Such a car will have the basic necessities and will only cost ‘slightly more’ than a similar car purchased from a private business. Plus, since your tax dollars will subsidize the purchase of a car from the U. S. government’s ‘affordable car exchange,’ it will appear that you are getting a good deal.
Failure to use the car will also result in fines. People living in areas with no access to roads are not exempt. Pre-existing conditions such as age, motion sickness, experience, knowledge, nor lack of desire are not acceptable excuses for not using your car.
A government review board will decide everything, including when, where, how often, and for what purposes you can use your car, along with how many people can ride in your car. The board will also determine if one is too old or healthy enough to be able to use their car, and will also decide if your car has out lived its usefulness or if you must purchase specific accessories like spinning rims or a newer and more expensive car.
Those that can afford luxury cars will be required to do so … it’s only fair. The government will also decide the color for each car. Failure to comply with these rules will result in fines and possible imprisonment.
Government officials are exempt from this new law. If they want a car, they and their families can obtain cars free at the expense of tax payers. This includes lifetime maintenance and automatic adjustments for fuel charges.
Unions, bankers, and mega companies with large political affiliations ($$$), Muslims and Amish are also exempt.
OK... I am gonna let it sink in alittle before I overreact .. but listening to this guy leaves me with absolutely no confidence in this pres, and administration whatsoever. And we have 2.5 more years of this guy to go?? Don't think it will make it that long.
because if you are not reading the enemy's propaganda, press releases and emails - you don't know what they are up to
(or at least the lies they say of what they are up to.... in all fairness - this chump telegraphed his every move - for those that bothered to read and investigate it - away from the main stream media.)
