Obama’s Campaign Manager admits attending White House IRS meetings
So I am just wondering, why would Obama's Campaign manager be involved in White House meetings that included the Internal Revenue Service. Could it be that the IRS attacks on Conservatives was a campaign strategy? Oh sure, its juts another conspiracy theory... like all the others that have proved to be true. An interesting factoid emerges from a look at a transcript of last Friday's edition of "The Lead With Jake Tapper" -- Stephanie Cutter was in on the White House meetings that IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman attended. Cutter insists that Shulman was simply meeting about implementation of ObamaCare -- and in fairness, one of her responsibilities was managing communications strategy for the unpopular law. But as everyone knows, Stephanie Cutter's expertise is not primarily in [...]
Defiant Obama to appoint Susan Rice as National Security Adviser
Tom Donilon, Obama's national security adviser has resigned. President Obama continues his 'in your face' style of politics by replacing Donilon with United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice to the position. The appointment, which Mr. Obama plans to make on Wednesday afternoon, puts Ms. Rice, 48, an outspoken diplomat and a close political ally, at the heart of the administration’s foreign-policy apparatus. It is also a defiant gesture to Republicans who harshly criticized Ms. Rice for presenting an erroneous account of the deadly attacks on the American mission in Benghazi, Libya. The post of national security adviser, while powerful, does not require Senate confirmation. Via - NYTimes.com.
FLOTUS freaks out at fundraiser, White House sanitizes transcript
Obama threatens to leave fundraiser after a lesbian protester heckles her speech, and the White House sanitizes transcript First lady Michelle Obama's speech at a Washington D.C. political fundraiser was interrupted by a lesbian protester on Tuesday night, and she threatened to leave the event if the gay rights activist wasn't forced to leave. But the official White House transcript doesn't indicate anything about the heckler or Mrs Obama's audible reaction via Mail Online. But even though the first ladies remarks were widely reported by the White House Press Corps, the White House sanitized the protesters remarks and deleted Obama's response. Seems the Obama White House is far from open and transparent, in that, it deleted comments that could reflect negatively on the First [...]

Transparent, Open Government? Obama Admin. use Secret email accounts
Some of US President Barack Obama's high-ranked political appointees are using secret government email accounts, which they say are necessary to prevent their inboxes from being overwhelmed with unwanted messages and spam. The scale of secret email use across the government remains unknown, as most US agencies have failed to provide lists of political appointees' email addresses, which AP requested under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) over three months ago. The news agency asked for the addresses after it was revealed last year that a former administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency had used separate email accounts during her work, including a secret one under the name ‘Richard Windsor.’ The secret accounts raise suspicions that government officials are [...]

President Obama’s assault on the middle class
} What influence is ultimately behind the rigid ideology of President Obama Ask yourself what is the root of all our President’s contempt for the American way of life?

Rule No. 1 – Do not listen to the President or take his word on anything he says verbally. Rule No. 2 – Any doubts about the reality of the American predicament refer back to rule # 1. While President Obama claims to have been standing in there to preserve the existence of the American middle class consider the [...]
