Audit The IRS Rally, Wednesday, 19 June, 2013 Washington DCIs Obama Illegally Spying on Congress Too?
Sunday, June 9th, 2013
(Chicago Sun Times) In the wake of revelations that the Feds have been secretly conducted surveillance on millions of Americans, the Associated Press and FOX News James Rosen, targeted Conservative & Jewish organizations, have been stonewalling Congress on “Fast & Furious” and Benghazi, together with HHS Secy Kathleeen Sebelius shaking down companies that she regulates to “donate” money for ObamaCare, a new scandal is emerging that the Obama Administration may be spying on Congress too?
On Thursday, Sen Mark Kirk (R-IL) asked embattled Atty General Eric Holder, if the National Security Agency monitored calls placed from Capitol hill? Holder claimed there was no intention to “spy” on Congress and said that he would not be able to go into details on the calls in a public setting.
Kirk continued to quiz Holder about the government snooping saying, “Mr Attorney General, I want to take you to the Verizon scandal and–which I understand takes us to possible monitoring up to 120 million calls. You know, when government bureaucrats are sloppy, they’re usually really sloppy. Want to just ask, could you assure to us, that no phone inside the Capitol were monitored of Members of Congress that would give a future Executive branch, if they started pulling this kind of thing off, would give them unique leverage over the legislature?”
Holder replied, “With all due respect Senator, I don’t think this is an appropriate setting for me to discuss that issue. I’d be more than glad to come back in a—in an appropriate setting to discuss the issues that you have raised.”
So the answer is quite simply yes otherwise why couldn’t Holder just deny that the Obama Administration is not monitoring Members of Congress phone calls too?
Does Obama, et. al believe that Members of Congress are committing espionage and they too must be targeted in their dragnet?
Obama: If People Can’t Trust the Government, Then We’re Going to Have Some Problems Here
Saturday, June 8th, 2013
(Breitbart) Obama speaking yesterday in San Jose, took one question from the press on the federal government’s invasion of privacy and the NSA surveillance of Americans.
Without any sense of irony whatsoever in the aftermath of scandals involving the IRS targeting of Conservative & Jewish groups together with the Obama Administration stonewalling on Benghazi, the Dept of Justice targeting of AP & FOX News James Rosen and HHS Secy Kathleen Sebelius shaking down companies that she regulates, to “donate money” for ObamaCare P.R. campaign, Obama said:
“If people can’t trust not only the Executive branch but also don’t trust Congress and don’t trust Federal Judges, to make sure that we’re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we’re going to have some problems here.”
Now its our fault.
Obama’s Watch: Jobless Rate Ticks Up to 7.6% Real Unemployment Rate 11.3%
Friday, June 7th, 2013
(Weekly Standard) The unemployment rate ticked-up today to 7.6% total non-farm payroll increased by only 175,000 jobs.
Flashback: Back in January, 2009 Team Obama forecast that the unemployment rate would be just above 5% if Congress passed his economic stimulus bill.
Zero Hedge reports there are job numbers and then there are job numbers in the context of U.S. population that keeps rising–By now the trick of lowering the unemployment rate courtesy of a “collapsing” labor force participation (LFP) rate is known by all…As of May, assuming realistic LFP assumptions the real U3 (official unemployment data) rate should have been not 7.6% but 11.3%
On the 03 May, I wrote here that Americans are realizing a continuing tapering of growth and wages–jobless rate for Millennials is the highest since the Second World War.
Top Democrat Strategist: Progressives & Liberals Must Stand-Up Against Obama

(FOX News) The NY Times editorial board which has generally given President Obama a pass throughout his career, wrote a scathing denunciation today of the Obama Administration’s use of data mining claiming “the administration has lost all credibility” on the issue of balancing civil rights with national security–adding, every Progressive with even a shred of moral consistency should side with The New York Times against the White House.
The events of the past month–from the Associated Press subpoena to the FOX News James Rosen search warrant, to the revelation that our government has been indiscriminately collecting phone records data–have forced liberals to make a choice between complacency and outrage, between keeping silent because on of our own is in the White House and calling him out on betraying the principles for which we have fought so long.
As Progressives, we cannot remain silent when a president, whom we worked so hard to elect and defend at every turn, betrays the very values upon which he ran five years ago.
Can Progressives & Democrat-Socialists since they’ve come this far, bring themselves to utter the words “Impeachment” and demand that Obama be removed from office by the Senate if he doesn’t do the just and honorable thing, resign from office, which even Richard Nixon had the decency to do?

Dead Beat President Obama Doesn’t Pay His Bills –Soda Head
(CBS News SanFrancisco) The town of Atherton, California may take the unprecedented action of slapping a lien on two homeowners who hosted an April fundraiser for President Obama, that cost the town $8,000 in security and clean-up costs.
Atherton has been unable to to recoup the money from the Democratic Natl Committee (DNC) for Obama’s trip. Atherton has sent invoices to the White House, DNC and to two homeowners where Obama raised more than $3 Million for Democrats (liberals are really good at spending other peoples money, I digress) but so far, Atherton hasn’t seen a penny.

‘Patriot Act’ Author Says Obama’s Surveillance of Americans Violates the Law
Thursday, June 6th, 2013
(Washington Times) Congressman F. James Sensenbrenner, (R-WI) who wrote the “Patriot Act” said that he never intended for the snooping law to be used to grab millions of records in a government fishing expedition like the secret FISA Court approved Verizon phone records surveillance according to news reports today.
Stung by Verizon revelations, a number of lawmakers came forward Thursday to say they never intended the laws they wrote following the 9/11 attacks to be used to go after records so broadly as the Obama Administration admits doing and defended today.
