David Hamilton? Is that the Best You Could Find, Obama?

Another week, another sneaky Saturday night vote by our representatives on a plan to destroy the American healthcare system. Another 2,000 page bill no one who is voting on it has read. Another provision to give Americans who refuse to buy health insurance jail time. Another provision that says that if you are a member of the government run plan, a portion of your premiums go to fund abortions. Sigh.

In other news, an Obama nominee to the 7th circuit court of appeals got confirmed - David Hamilton. I never heard of this guy until today unfortunately. Even more unfortunately for him, a GA senator (as well as a TN senator) voted to allow the vote on this guy to take place. He will be hearing from me after this email is typed.

About David Hamilton:

- he used to be a fund raiser for ACORN (need I say more?)
- he is radically pro-abortion. In Indiana, he kept an informed consent measure from being enforced, which prevented women from finding out about alternatives to and risks of abortion.
- he prevented the Indiana Speaker of the House of Representatives from permitting "sectarian" prayers to be offered during the official House proceedings. What's a sectarian prayer? I'm glad you asked. According to Hamilton, a "sectarian" prayer is one that uses the name of Christ. However, it is not a "sectarian" prayer if the name of Allah is used. This guy won't allow you to say Jesus in a prayer but will allow you to say Allah.

Round-Up of Health Care Obama-nations

Did anyone catch Obama on FIVE morning shows trying to sell his health care agenda? Nobody's buying what he's selling!

Here's a fun round-up of recent articles about his Obam-inable actions:

- first he argued with George Stephanopoulus when Steph. asked him about whether requiring people to get health insurance or be fined was a tax increase. Steph pointed out the definition of tax in the dictionary; Obama mocked him for that. Obama pointed out that everyone was required to get auto insurance and that wasn't a tax increase. (Stupid argument, only drivers are required to get insurance and only to protect others, under Obama's plan everyone will have to get insurance simply for existing). Click here.

- When confronted with ACORN's recent scandals and then the senate's vote to deny giving ACORN federal money, Obama played the idiot. He wasn't even aware ACORN was getting a lot of federal money! And he definitely did not commit to signing any bill cutting off federal ACORN money. Click here.

- Then comes the news that Obama is "open" to a a bill that would bailout newspapers. I'm sure that's completely unrelated to the story that the New York Times has given him TWO miles of coverage on the front page of its paper this year alone, virtually all of it favorable.

- Finally, this article amusingly points out that Obama wants his daughters left alone by the media when HE says so, but then uses a story of daughter Sasha's diagnosis of meningitis when she was a baby to sell his health care plan. Do you want them in the spotlight or not? And by the way, Obama and Michelle can't even agree on whether she had meningitis or not!

Thanks a lot Barack

You know how Obama is constantly blaming Bush and the republicans for the economy? And for some reason the polls always favored Obama when the economy mess hit the fan? The mess was caused by too many bad home loans given to people who shouldn't have qualified for them. The republicans tried to sound the warning bell but the dems didn't listen (even Saturday Night Live admitted this in a hilarious skit - click here to watch).

Did you know Obama's name appears on a lawsuit on behalf of ACORN, which sued Citibank for failing to make loans to minorities? Why do you think Citibank wouldn't make loans to said minorities? Is it because they wouldn't qualify for a loan? Do you think these practices are what led to the mess?

ACORN + Obama = Fraud

Before I get to another of Obama's misdeeds, let me say it makes me sick the mainstream media basically operated Obama's campaign for him. A quote from an anonymous employee at a major newsroom: "Off the record, every suspicion you have about mainstream media being in the tank for O is true. We have a team of 4 people going thru dumpsters in Alaska and 4 in arizona. Not a single one looking into Acorn, Ayers or Freddiemae. Editor refuses to publish anything that would jeopardize election for O, and betting you dollars to donuts same is true at NYT, others. People cheer when CNN or NBC run another Palin-mocking but raising any reasonable inquiry into Obama is derided or flat out ignored. The fix is in, and its working."



My Obama-nation of the day, and this is a major one: ACORN

ACORN stands for Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now. Obama gave them $800,000 (which he tried to hide). He also worked closely with ACORN in Chicago. Also, while he served on the board of directors of the Woods Fund, the fund sent grants to ACORN (as well as Jeremiah Wright's church). ACORN purports to engage in "get out the vote" projects. What ACORN actually does is commit voter fraud, and is being investigated in various cities across the country.

What ACORN has done:

• registered fake voter names in Milwaukee
• in New Mexico, hired convicts to collect voter registration information
• Last year in Washington, felony charges were filed against several paid employees and supervisors of ACORN. Over 1,700 fraudulent registrations turned in by the employees were revoked in one of the largest instances of voting fraud in the United States.
• In March of 2008, an ACORN worker was sentenced in Berks County Pennsylvania to 146 days to 23 months in the county prison for making 29 phony voter-registration forms to collect a cash bonus from ACORN
• Dale Rathke, brother of ACORN founder, Wade Rathke, embezzled nearly $1 million from Acorn and affiliated charitable organizations in 1999 and 2000 but a small group of executives decided to keep the information from almost all of the group’s board members and not to alert law enforcement. Dale Rathke remained on Acorn’s payroll until a month ago, when disclosure of his theft by foundations and other donors forced the organization to dismiss him.
• As of July 2008, at least three ACORN workers have been convicted of voter fraud in Kansas City, and one is awaiting trial. These ACORN workers in Kansas City flooded voter registration rolls with over 35,000 false or questionable voter registration forms.
  St. Louis, Mo., officials found that in 2006 over 1,000 addresses listed on its registrations did not exist. “We met twice with ACORN before their drive, but our requests completely fell by the wayside,” said Democrat Matt Potter, the city’s deputy elections director. Later, federal authorities indicted eight of the group’s local workers. One of the eight pleaded guilty last month.
• The Consumers Rights League reports that ACORN used taxpayer money to support “corporate shakedown tactics, counseling of potential homebuyers to use “undocumented” or “under the table” income to obtain mortgages, and to assist in obtaining mortgages for undocumented workers.
• Back in the '80s and '90s, ACORN's tactics included trespassing, illegal seizure of private property, physical harassment, intimidation and outright extortion.
  For example, in 1985, ACORN illegally seized 25 abandoned buildings owned by New York City and installed squatters as residents. A weak-kneed City Hall eventually gave the group title to the buildings - proving that crime can pay.

This is the group that Obama gave $800,000 to and worked closely with?????
