(Many thanks to Steven Ahle, the Editor of Red Statements for this pertinent contribution)
Jay Carney, the unapologetic liar, who often embarrasses himself by boldly going where no Nazi has gone before, has done it again. The weasel has said that there is no evidence whatsoever that Obamacare is costing people their hours. It’s a ridiculous statement just on the face of it, but even more so since companies have openly stated that this is exactly what they plan to do.
Forever 21, a retailer known for it’s low prices and constant sales, has announced that it is cutting full time employees to 29 hours a week to prevent them from being eligible for Obamacare. That’s a cut of 11 hours. That’s a pay cut of 27.5%. They will hire additional part timers to make up the difference in coverage. Now, perhaps Mr Weasel doesn’t consider that a cut in hours since Obama’s work week consists of 3 rounds of Golf, a vacation, and 2 Hollywood parties, making 27 hours look like slave labor.
Salon Magazine has named 10 companies who have said they would be cutting hours, calling them shameless.
Denny’s and Hurricane Grill and Wings…Owned by John Metz
Darden Restaurants…They own Olive Garden and Red Lobster
Jimmy John’s
AAA Parking
CKE Restaurants…Owners of Hardees, Carl Jrs, Red Burrito, and Green Burrito
Pillar Hotels and Resorts
Papa John’s
New York Applebee’s
Treadwell Enterprises…Wendy’s and Taco Bell
Regal Entertainment…The Nation’s largest Movie Theaters chain
And the worst part of all is that these jobs, whose hours are being cut are low wage jobs and the people affected are the ones who can afford it the least. White Castle, Walmart, and many other large retailers whose business plan includes low prices simply cannot afford the high costs of Obamacare.
Wegman’s who has always given their part-time employees healthcare, was forced to announce an end to that practice due to the increased cost of providing Obamacare for it’s full-time employees.
Joseph Goebbels must be rolling in his grave from envy.

INTERESTING EXCERPTS FROM MARK STEYN ON THE HASSAN TRIAL
Read the entire column at: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/355421/know-thine-enemy-mark-steyn
On December 7, 1941, the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor was attacked. Three years, eight months, and eight days later, the Japanese surrendered. These days, America’s military moves at a more leisurely pace. On November 5, 2009, another U.S. base, Fort Hood, was attacked — by one man standing on a table, screaming “Allahu akbar!” and opening fire. Three years, nine months, and one day later, his court-martial finally got under way.
The U.S. Army seems disinclined to hold anything against him, especially the 13 corpses plus an unborn baby.
....under a 1993 directive a U.S. military base is effectively a gun-free zone, just like a Connecticut grade school. That’s a useful tip: If you’re mentally ill and looking to shoot up a movie theater at the next Batman premiere, try the local barracks — there’s less chance of anyone firing back.
The response to Nidal Hasan helps explain why, in Afghanistan and elsewhere, this war is being lost — because it cannot be won because, increasingly, it cannot even be acknowledged. Which helps explain why it now takes the U.S. military longer to prosecute a case of “workplace violence” than it did to win World War Two.

MORE STUPIDITY FROM THIS DUMBASS PRESIDENT
Remember when Obozo said he had been in 57 states while campaigning for his first term?
Now during his campaign (for whatever?), he thinks he can see the Gulf of Mexico from Charleston, South Carolina, or maybe Jacksonville, Florida, or maybe Savannah, Georgia. At least he said so during his appearance on Jay Leno's show earlier this week. What a stupid jerk!
And, please, don't get me started about his comment to Jay Leno about the Winter Olympic sports of ...Track, Swimming and Gymnastics....when these are SUMMER OLYMPICS activities.
And this is supposed to be the smartest president ever? Give me a break! The freakin media would tear into any Republican making dumbass comments like those. Where are they now?

WHAT OBAMA MEANT BY "TRANSFORMING AMERICA."
Since
January 2009--when the most ill-equipped, inexperienced, undeserving,
and most corrupt president ever to be elected began staining the Oval
Office for the first time---the country has added a net total of only
270,000 full-time jobs, and has added 1.9 million part-time jobs. In
other words, the total economy of this nation added seven times more
part-time jobs than it has created full-time jobs.
Sort of makes sense, though, doesn't it? A part time economy brought to you by a part-time president. And, in his mind, ‘part-time’ is the O-Hole’s way of reducing the disparity between full-time work and no work: spread the wealth around by spreading the work hours.
And, when you combine the above numbers with the astounding increase in people on disability and the incredible numbers of those on 99 weeks of unemployment benefits, the country is worse off now than it was in 1929.
Transforming America ... where the new ‘full time’ means holding two or three part-time jobs to keep above water. Where burger flipping used to be transitional part-time JOBS for high school and college kids who wanted to earn some gas and pizza money and to get some work experience, and which these days the ObamaPhone, gimmeedese and gimmeedats think should be unionized CAREERS.
Just another Obama “summer of recovery.”

Now I know this is just a short list of Obama’s
accomplishments but it should be enough to defend your liberal position and
your elected ‘leader?’ How is this hope
and change stuff working out for you? Don’t
these accomplishments make you proud that you voted for him?
.
IT’S SIMPLY AMAZING HOW ALL THIS JUST HAPPENED!
Look Folks: It All
"Just Innocently Happened." That’s
Why the Media Didn’t ‘Vet’ Obama
Obama just happened to know 60s far-left radical
revolutionary William Ayers, whose father just happened to be Thomas Ayers, who
just happened to be a close friend of Obama's communist mentor Frank
Marshall Davis, who just happened to work at the communist-sympathizing
Chicago Defender with Vernon Jarrett, who just happened to later become
the father-in-law of Iranian-born leftist Valerie Jarrett, who Obama just
happened to choose as his closest White House adviser, and who just
happened to have been CEO of Habitat Company, which just happened to
manage public housing in Chicago, which just happened to get millions of
dollars from the Illinois state legislature, and which just happened not
to properly maintain the housing-which eventually just happened to
require demolition.
Valerie Jarrett also just happened to work for the
city of Chicago, and just happened to hire Michelle LaVaughan Robinson
(later Mrs. Obama), who just happened to have worked at the Sidley
Austin law firm, where former fugitive from the FBI Bernardine Dohrn also just
happened to work, and where Barack Obama just happened to get a
summer job.
Bernardine Dohrn just happened to be married to
William Ayers, with whom she just happened to have hidden from the FBI
at a San Francisco marina, along with Donald Warden, who just happened
to change his name to Khalid al-Mansour, and Warden/al-Mansour just happened
to be a mentor of Black Panther Party founders Huey Newton and Bobby Seale and
a close associate of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, and al-Mansour just
happened to be financial adviser to a Saudi Prince, who just happened
to donate cash to Harvard, for which Obama just happened to get a
critical letter of recommendation from Percy Sutton, who just happened
to have been the attorney for Malcolm X, who just happened to know
Kenyan politician Tom Mboya, who just happened to be a close friend of
Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., who just happened to meet Malcolm X when he
traveled to Kenya.
Obama, Sr. just happened to have his education at the
University of Hawaii paid for by the Laubach Literacy Institute, which just
happened to have been supported by Elizabeth Mooney Kirk, who just happened
to be a friend of Malcolm X, who just happened to have been associated
with the Nation of Islam, which was later headed by Louis Farrakhan, who just
happens to live very close to Obama's Chicago mansion, which also just
happens to be located very close to the residence of William Ayers and
Bernardine Dohrn, who just happen to have been occasional baby-sitters
for Malia and Natasha Obama, whose parents just happened to have no
concern exposing their daughters to bomb-making communists.
After attending Occidental College and Columbia University,
where he just happened to have foreign Muslim roommates, Obama moved to
Chicago to work for the Industrial Areas Foundation, an organization that just
happened to have been founded by Marxist and radical agitator Saul
"the Red" Alinsky, author of Rules for Radicals, who just
happened to be the topic of Hillary Rodham Clinton's thesis at Wellesley
College, and Obama's $25,000 salary at IAF just happened to be funded by
a grant from the Woods Fund, which was founded by the Woods family, whose Sahara
Coal company just happened to provide coal to Commonwealth Edison, whose
CEO just happened to be Thomas Ayers, whose son William Ayers just
happened to serve on the board of the Woods Fund, along with Obama.
Obama also worked on voter registration drives in Chicago in
the 1980s and just happened to work with leftist political groups like
the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and Socialist International (SI),
through which Obama met Carl Davidson, who just happened to travel to
Cuba during the Vietnam War to sabotage the U.S. war effort, and who just
happened to be a former member of the SDS and a member of the Committees of
Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism, which just happened to
sponsor a 2002 anti-war rally at which Obama spoke, and which just happened
to have been organized by Marilyn Katz, a former SDS activist and later public
relations consultant who just happened to be a long-time friend of
Obama's political hatchet man, David Axelrod
Obama joined Trinity United Church of Christ (TUCC), whose
pastor was Reverend Jeremiah Wright, a fiery orator who just happened to
preach Marxism and Black Liberation Theology and who delivered anti-white,
anti-Jew, and anti-American sermons, which Obama just happened never to
hear because he just happened to miss church only on the days when
Wright was at his "most enthusiastic," and Obama just happened
never to notice that Oprah Winfrey left the church because it was too radical,
and just happened never to notice that the church gave the vile anti-Semitic
Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan a lifetime achievement award.
Although no one had ever heard of him at the time, Obama just
happened to receive an impossible-to-believe $125,000 advance to write a
book about race relations, which he just happened to fail to write while
using the cash to vacation in Bali with his wife Michelle, and despite his
record of non-writing he just happened to receive a second advance, for
$40,000, from another publisher, and he eventually completed a manuscript called
Dreams From My Father, which just happened to strongly reflect
the writing style of William Ayers, who just happened to trample on an
American flag for the cover photograph of the popular Chicago magazine, which
Obama just happened never to see even though it appeared on newsstands
throughout the city.
Obama was hired by the law firm Miner, Banhill and Galland,
which just happened to specialize in negotiating state government
contracts to develop low-income housing, and which just happened to deal
with now-imprisoned Tony Rezko and his firm Rezar, and with slumlord Valerie
Jarrett, and the law firm's Judson Miner just happened to have been a
classmate of Bernardine Dohrn, wife of William Ayers.
In 1994 Obama represented ACORN and another plaintiff in a
lawsuit against Citibank for denying mortgages to blacks(Buycks-Roberson v.
Citibank Federal Savings Bank), and the lawsuit just happened to result
in banks being blackmailed into approving subprime loans for poor credit risks,
a trend which just happened to spread nationwide, and which just
happened to lead to the collapse of the housing bubble, which just
happened to help Obama defeat John McCain in the 2008 presidential
election.
In 1996 Obama ran for the Illinois State Senate and joined
the "New Party," which just happened to promote Marxism, and
Obama was supported by Dr. Quentin Yong, a socialist who just happened
to support a government takeover of the health care system.
In late 1999 Obama purportedly engaged in homosexual
activities and cocaine-snorting in the back of a limousine with a man named
Larry Sinclair, who claims he was contacted in late 2007 by Donald Young, who just
happened to be the gay choir director of Obama's Chicago church and who
shared information with Sinclair about Obama, and Young just happened to
be murdered on December 23, 2007, just
weeks after Larry Bland, another gay member of the church, just happened
to be murdered, and both murders just happened to have never been solved. In
2008 Sinclair held a press conference to discuss his claims, and just
happened to be arrested immediately after the event, based on a warrant
issued by Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, who just happens to be
the son of Joe Biden.
In 2003 Obama and his wife attended a dinner in honor of
Rashid Khalidi, who just happened to be a former PLO operative, harsh
critic of Israel, and advocate of Palestinian rights, and who Obama claims he
does not know, even though the Obamas just happened to have dined more
than once at the home of Khalidi and his wife, Mona, and just happened
to have used them as occasional baby-sitters. Obama reportedly praised Khalidi
at the decidedly anti-Semitic event, which William Ayers just happened
to also attend, and the event Obama pretends he never attended was sponsored by
the Arab American Action Network, to which Obama just happened to have
funneled cash while serving on the board of the Woods Fund with William Ayers,
and one speaker at the dinner remarked that if Palestinians cannot secure a
return of their land, Israel "will never see a day of peace," and
entertainment at the dinner included a Muslim children's dance whose
performances just happened to include simulated beheadings with fake
swords, and stomping on American, Israeli, and British flags, and Obama
allegedly told the audience that "Israel has no God-given right to occupy
Palestine" and there has been "genocide against the Palestinian
people by (the) Israelis," and the Los Angeles Times has a videotape of
the event but just happens to refuse to make it public.
In the 2004 Illinois Democrat primary race for the U.S.
Senate, front-runner Blair Hull just happened to be forced out of the
race after David Axelrod just happened to manage to get Hull's sealed
divorce records unsealed, which just happened to enable Obama to win the
primary, so he could face popular Republican Jack Ryan, whose sealed child
custody records from his divorce just happened to become unsealed,
forcing Ryan to withdraw from the race, which just happened to enable
the unqualified Obama to waltz into the U.S. Senate, where, after
a mere 143 days of work, he just happened to decide he was qualified to
run for President of the United States.
NO CONSPIRACY HERE FOLKS; THIS ALL “JUST HAPPENED.” (Yeah, and pigs can fly!)

Obama is “The Architect of Destruction”
April 7, 2013
Maureen Scott posted a column regarding Barack Obama and what
separates Obama from the values and life experiences of the American
people. Scott affirms that Obama has not participated in the American
experience nor has Obama shared in the pursuit of the American Dream,
which should be an expected prerequisite for those who aspire to the
highest office in our land.
Maureen Scott’s column, “The Architect of Destruction,” which originally appeared on Renew America, follows in its entirety.
Maureen Scott’s column, “The Architect of Destruction,” which originally appeared on Renew America, follows in its entirety.
"Obama comes from a community organizer background where it's us against them. But that's not who we are. And that's not the position the leader of our Nation should take." – Dr. Benjamin Carson
Obama appears to be a tormented man who is filled with resentment, anger, and disdain for anyone of an opinion or view other than his. He acts in the most hateful, spiteful, malevolent, vindictive ways in order to manipulate and maintain power and control over others. Perhaps because, as a child, he grew up around family members and mentors who instilled him with an abiding bitterness toward the U.S. That bitterness seems not to have left him.
It is not the color of his skin that is a problem – for anyone in America. Rather it is the blackness that fills his soul and the hollowness in his heart where there should be abiding pride and love for this country.
Think: Have we ever heard Obama speak lovingly of the U.S. or its people, with deep appreciation and genuine respect for our history, our customs, our sufferings and our blessings? Has he ever revealed that, like most patriotic Americans, he gets "goose bumps" when a band plays "The Star Spangled Banner," or sheds a tear when he hears a beautiful rendition of "America the Beautiful?" Does his heart burst with pride when millions of American flags wave on a National holiday – or is he moved to sadness and reflection when someone plays "taps" on a trumpet? Has he ever felt the depth of our admiration of the military, as lovers of those who keep America free feel when soldiers march by? It is doubtful – because Obama did not grow up sharing our experiences or our values. He did not sit at the knee of a grandfather or uncle who showed his medals and told of the bravery of his fellow troops as they fought and tramped through foreign lands sacrificing for a cause greater than their own lives. He didn't have grandparents who told stories of suffering and then coming to America, penniless, and the opportunities they had for building a business and life for their children.
Away from this country as a young child, Obama didn't delight in being part of America and its greatness. He wasn't singing our patriotic songs in kindergarten, or standing on the roadside for a holiday parade and eating a hot dog, or lighting sparklers around a campfire on July 4th as fireworks exploded over head, or placing flags on the gravesites of fallen and beloved American heroes.
Rather Obama was separated from all of these experiences. He doesn't really understand us and what it means to be an American. He is void of the basic emotions that most feel regarding this country and is insensitive to the instinctive pride we have in our national heritage. His opinions were formed by those who either envied us or wanted him to devalue the United States and the traditions and patriotism that unite us.
Obama has never given a speech that is filled with calm, reassuring, complimentary, heartfelt statements about all the people in the U.S. Or one that inspires us to be better, grateful, and proud that, in a short time, our country became a leader, and a protector of so many. Quite the contrary, his speeches always degenerate into mocking, ridiculing tirades as he faults our achievements ,along with any of his critics, all for the sake of a laugh, or to bolster his ego. He uses his Office to threaten and create fear while demeaning and degrading anyone who opposes his policies and actions. Unlike a secure leader, who has noble self-esteem and not false confidence, Obama displays a cocky, haughty attitude and a dread of being critiqued.
Mostly, his time seems to be spent causing dissension, unrest, and anxiety among the people rather than uniting us (even though he was presented to us as the "Great Uniter"). He creates chaos for the sake of keeping citizens separated, envious, aggrieved and ready to argue. Under his leadership Americans have been kept on edge, rather than in a state of comfort and security. He incites people to be aggressive toward, disrespectful of, and retaliate against those of differing backgrounds and views. Through such behavior, Obama has lowered the standards for self-control and mature restraint to the level of rowdy, street-fighting gangs. When, instead, he should be raising the bar for people to strive toward becoming more considerate, tolerant, self-disciplined, self-sustaining, and self-assured.
Not a day goes by that he is not attempting to defy our laws, remove our rights, over-ride established procedures, install controversial appointees, enact divisive mandates, and assert a dictatorial form of power.
• Never has there been a leader of this great land who used such tactics to harm and hurt the people and this country.
• Never have we had a President who spoke with a caustic, evil tongue against the citizenry rather than present himself as a soothing, calming, and trustworthy force.
• Never, in this country, have we experienced how much stress one man can cause a nation of people – on a daily basis!
Obama has promoted the degeneration of peace, civility, and quality of cooperation between us. He thrives on tearing us down, rather than building us up. He is the Architect of the decline of America, and the epitome of a Demagogue.A prayer of President John Adams, which is inscribed in the front of the fireplace mantle in the White House State Dining Room, gives us hope for a better future.
“I pray to heaven to bestow the best of blessings on this house and all that hereafter inhabit it. May none but honest and wise men ever rule under this roof.”We hope and pray that one day soon men and women of courage will return our nation to its former Judeo-Christian foundations and will restore our honor, our integrity, and our Liberty.
