Obama Uses His Pen to Give Biden and Others a “Raise”, as the Fiscal Crisis Looms

While the every day worker waits to see what they will pay in taxes next year ( in 36 hours), President Obama has used his pen to sign an Executive Order to make sure that Joe Biden and other senior officials get…. a PAY RAISE.

Absent a last minute deal, the taxes on all Americans will increase, they payroll tax holiday will end, there will be major cuts in defense, unemployment benefits will end for millions of the unemployed. Many businesses are stuck in limbo as far as planning due to these many factors. But we can all sleep better knowing that our Vice President got a pay raise that he “earned”.

 

 

Stupak Stood Up By White House- No Date-Specific for Signing of Executive Order

from America’s Right:

President Obama signed the Senate health care bill into law Tuesday. He did not sign the executive order on abortion negotiated with Michigan Democratic Congressman Bart Stupak in an 11th-hour arrangement that may well have saved the entire health care reform effort.

A White House official told Fox, Obama will not sign the Executive Order Tuesday and has set no specific date to do so. Stupak predicted Obama would sign the order later this week. The White House said only that Obama would sign the order “soon.”

In two celebratory speeches Tuesday – one at the bill’s signing, the other at the Interior Department with health care advocates – Obama said nothing about the abortion issue or the executive order.

Stupak, meanwhile, is under fire for accepting the order as his price for supporting the health care overhaul legislation, which passed on a vote of 219-212.

Stupak released a statement today defending the as-yet-unsigned executive order, placing it on a list of other significant orders that included Abraham Lincoln’s 1863 Emancipation Proclamation and Harry Truman’s 1948 order desegregating the U.S. armed forces.

“Throughout history, Executive Orders have been an important means of implementing public policy,” Stupak said in a statement. “The most famous Executive Order was the Emancipation Proclamation signed by President Lincoln in 1863.”

Obama Lifts Stem Cell Research Funding on Monday, and Signs Legislation to ban it again on Wednesday

     There is a reason why the President and Congress need to take the time to READ !!!!

     Researchers, stem cell advocates, and others were excited that President Barack Obama signed an order on Monday to lift President Bush’s ban on federal funds being used in stem cell research. Even First Lady Nancy Reagan expressed praise for the action, with thoughts it might aid in the cure for Alzheimer’s Disease.

     But what the Obamessiah giveth to the masses, he quickly and quietly takes away!

     As we are all well aware, the $410 billion dollar omnibus bill to fund the government through September 30th was passed by the Congress and, without postuing it for 5 days as promised, and without the glaring fanfare f his other signings, Barack Obama quietly signed the legislation on Wednesday. He was more concerned with “separating” himself from the 8500+ earmarks in the bill (though his name was removed rom those he requested), than he was with the content of the legislation.

     That fact has quietly already come back to haunt Obama and Congress. Within the Omnibus bill, there is a clause that “BANS” the use of federal funds for……. STEM CELL RESEARCH.!!

Go Figure !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama, Gaza, and Hamas: Welcome to America

Obama Invites Hamas Terrorists to America
The New Media Journal ^ | Feb 7, 2009 | Dr. Paul L. Williams

Posted on Saturday, February 07, 2009 1:40:35 PM by NewMediaJournal

By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the expenditure of
$20.3 million in migration assistance to the Palestinian refugees and conflict
victims in Gaza.

The “presidential determination” which allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians
with ties to Hamas to resettle in the United States was signed on January 27 and
appeared in the Federal Register on February 4.

President Obama’s decision, according to the Register, was necessitated by “the urgent refugee and migration needs” of the “victims.”

Few on Capitol Hill took note that the order provides a free ticket replete with housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed their overwhelming support of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006.

The charter for Hamas calls for the replacement of the nation of Israel with a Palestinian Islamic state.

Since its formation in 1994, Hamas has been responsible for hundreds of terrorist attacks, including the 2002 Passover suicide bombing. The leaders of the movement signed the World Islamic Statement of 1998 – a document, penned by Osama bin Laden, which declared war on America and Israel.

President Obama’s executive order is expected to bring hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, many with ties to radical Islam, to our shores, furthering a process that was inaugurated in 1995 by Senator Ted Kennedy and the Cedar-Hart bill.
