Obama’s plan to indoctrinate our children must not go unchallenged. Parents need to tell their children about all the lies Obama told the people of the USA to get elected. Children need to know if their teacher belongs to a union that tells them how to vote, and what thuggish unions are doing to patriots to silence their free speech. We have seen what Obama has tried to do through sneaky methods, and this is just another one, IMO. Stand up for American, we don’t need a dictator that would use our children to glorify his phony, and failed leadership.

''ABC'' stands for All Barack's Children!!!

''ABC'' stands for All Barack's Children. On Sept. 8, young students across the country will be watching television. Yes, they'll be parked in front of boob tubes and computer screens watching President Obama's address on education. (Snip) And last year's presidential campaign saw disgraceful abuses of power by pro-Obama instructors. In New Rochelle, N.Y., elementary students were given an in-class assignment to color in drawings of Obama -- including a picture of a campaign button…

Rasmussen: Democrats at lowest point in generic-ballot polling in years (hotair.com)

Smells like this is being driven more by anti-incumbency fever than anti-Democratic fever, but we’ll take it any way we can get it. Throw the bums out:

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 43% would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate while 36% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent.

That represents the lowest level of support for Democrats in recent years, while Republicans have tied their highest level of support for the third straight week. The previous low for Democrats over the past year was 37%…

Throughout the summer of 2008, support for Democratic congressional candidates ranged from 45% to 48%. Republican support ranged from 34% to 37%…

If Americans could vote to keep or replace the entire Congress, 57% would throw out all the legislators and start over again. Just 25% would vote to keep the Congress.

Even better: Per Ace, the latest PPP poll shows that the GOP leads 45/41 overall but 50/14 among voters who say they’re unhappy with both parties. The number who say they’d vote to reelect their congressman is just 47 percent. Is that enough to win back the House next year? Maybe not. Is it enough to make the Blue Dogs sweat even more about ObamaCare than they already are? You betcha.

FIRE RANGEL (NY Post) Of course not.

He's Charlie Rangel, head of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee -- who can't be bothered to tend to his own tax returns, but now intends to punish ordinary folks for making arguably minor mistakes on their forms.

The Post's Charles Hurt reported yesterday that Rangel's committee seeks to reduce legal defenses and increase fines and penalties on taxpayers undergoing IRS scrutiny for what they assert are innocent errors.

Among other things, Rangel's bill would even prohibit the IRS from forgiving taxpayers who erred in good faith -- though that would be a very generous interpretation of his own tax troubles.

In just the last year, Rangel has been forced to file late-disclosure reports involving millions in income from land transfers and unreported business deals.

Such transgressions should preclude Rangel from even voting on tax legislation, let alone writing any.

Indeed, we wouldn't be all that surprised in the least if there were a Charlie Rangel exclusion clause written into the IRS-crackdown bill discovered by Hurt.

Pelosi will let Rangel hold post despite latest allegations
(The Hill)

Speaker Nancy Pelosi will let Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) keep his chairmanship despite his failing to report hundreds of thousands of dollars in assets on federal disclosure forms, according to Democratic aides.

The chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee’s latest misstep has received strong media scrutiny and prompted good-government watchdog groups to call for a special counsel investigation.

Growing ethics turmoil surrounding Rangel has prompted calls for Pelosi to yank Rangel’s gavel.

But Democratic aides say that Pelosi will not pressure Rangel to resign his post or censure him publicly unless the House ethics committee finds him guilty of misconduct or a prosecutor brings forth charges.

Whoopi Goldberg to Glenn Beck: "You're a Lying Sack of Dog Mess" (MediaBistro.com)

Sometimes when Fox News personalities, like Bill O'Reilly, make a stop at "The View," there are heated discussions, but today's appearance by Glenn Beck was in a different category.

Beck was immediately confronted by Whoopi Goldberg and Barbara Walters about a story he told after the White House Correspondents Dinner on the radio about an Amtrak encounter with "The View" hosts.

Beck admitted he "misspoke," but Goldberg had another term: "You sat there and you were a lying sack of dog mess."

"You don't like me," said Beck.

"No, I don't like your views," responded Goldberg. "I don't know you, okay? I don't like your views."

The Amtrak story dominated the entire first segment, but Beck was brought back for another one.

"We're giving you another segment, because we're too good," said Joy Behar. "That's our problem."

White House Has Secret Plan To Harvest Personal Data From Social Networking Websites (National Legal and Policy Center)

NLPC has uncovered a plan by the White House New Media operation to hire a technology vendor to conduct a massive, secret effort to harvest personal information on millions of Americans from social networking websites.

The information to be captured includes comments, tag lines, emails, audio, and video. The targeted sites include Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube, Flickr and others – any space where the White House “maintains a presence.”

In the course of investigating procurement by the White House New Media office, NLPC discovered a 51-page solicitation of bids that was filed on Friday, August 21, 2009. Filed as Solicitation # WHO-S-09-0003, it is posted at FedBizzOps.com. (51-page pdf of the solicitation.)

Democrats Try Tougher Tone on Health Plan (WSJ)

WASHINGTON -- A top White House adviser said Tuesday he doubts two Senate Republicans at the center of health-care talks are negotiating seriously, as Democrats adopted a new, more confrontational tone accusing key Republicans of blocking change.

* * * * *

Democrats hope to persuade the public that Republicans are to blame for the stalemate and shift opinion in favor of an overhaul. They want to build enough momentum to win support from a small number of moderate Republicans, in particular the two senators from Maine.

It's Official: No Public Option from Obama (Drudge Headline)

Aides to President Barack Obama are putting the final touches on a new strategy to help Democrats recover from a brutal August recess by specifying what Obama wants to see in a compromise health care deal and directly confronting other trouble spots, West Wing officials tell POLITICO.
Obama is considering detailing his health-care demands in a major speech as soon as next week, when Congress returns from the August recess.

And although House leaders have said their members will demand the inclusion of a public insurance option, Obama has no plans to insist on it himself, the officials said.

“We’re entering a new season,” senior adviser David Axelrod said in a telephone interview.

“It’s time to synthesize and harmonize these strands and get this done. We’re confident that we can do that. But obviously it is a different phase. We’re going to approach it in a different way. The president is going to be very active.”

AFL-CIO won't back health care reform without public option
(Solon.com)

WASHINGTON -- The AFL-CIO, a key ally of the White House on healthcare reform, won't support legislation unless it includes a public insurance option.

"Let me be as clear as I can be -- it's an absolute must," Rich Trumka, the labor group's secretary-treasurer, and its next president, told reporters at a briefing Tuesday morning.

"We won't support the bill if it doesn't have a public option."

That could add to the pressure on the White House and Senate Democrats to pull the plug on bipartisan talks aimed at bringing Republicans along with the plan.

The GOP has more or less indicated opposition to just about everything Obama wants to do with healthcare, but especially the public option.

Iowa Republican Chuck Grassley, the lead negotiator for his party, wrote a fundraising letter to his constituents this week that asks for their "immediate support in helping me defeat 'Obama-care.'"

His office later clarified -- Grassley only meant he was trying to defeat the public option.

Cindy Sheehan: Where Have All the Cameras Gone? (Big Hollywood)

Cindy Sheehan brings Camp Casey to Martha’s Vineyard. Meanwhile, the mainstream media is as apathetic about her new protest as they are about an Afghan body count. As the President’s strategy in Afghanistan appears to be failing worse than his economic policies, and his promise to end American military involvements overseas is withering alongside health care reform, recalling those lofty promises from last year’s campaign is like looking at a marriage proposal from the other side of a Las Vegas hangover.

Outside a short article by the AP there is very little coverage of Cindy Sheehan. The woman who once couldn’t go anywhere without a spate of cameras in tow, is now wandering the streets of Martha’s Vineyard completely alone.

Her name is as forgotten by the locals as Mary Jo Kopechne. This despite the Island being packed full of journalists right now; journalists who couldn’t resist an all expense paid trip to the Vineyard to cover the vacation of His Presidency.

I’m fairly certain there were a lot more journalists already on the island than there were in that ditch outside of Crawford four years ago.

The hypocrisy of the media is simply breathtaking.

CBS poll: Obama hits another new low on health care (Hot Air)

Yeah, lots of poll posts today, but let’s enjoy it while we can.
President Obama’s approval rating on health care has dropped six points since July to 40 percent, and now more Americans, 47 percent, disapprove of his handling of health care, according to a new CBS News poll taken between Aug 27 - 31…

Americans are not only skeptical of Mr. Obama’s handling of health care, but also of the effectiveness of reform.

Americans are more apt to say the middle class and small business would be hurt, not helped, by the plans currently under consideration.

CNN Poll: Independents disapprove of Obama CNN

WASHINGTON (CNN) — A majority of independent voters disapprove of how Barack Obama's handling his job as president, according to a new national poll.

Fifty-three percent of independents questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Tuesday say they disapprove of how Obama's handling his duties in the White House, with 43 percent in approval.

That result marks the first time in a CNN poll that a majority of independents give the president's performance a thumbs-down.

Obama's overall approval rating of 53 percent is down 3 points from a month ago, and down 8 points from June. Forty-five percent of those questioned disapprove, up 5 points from a month ago and up 8 points from June.

Obama administration adding $3 million per minute to national debt

An overwhelming majority, if not every single American cannot begin to comprehend the astronomical deficits and debt projections flowing from Washington these days. The Obama Administration and congressional Democrats have done an outstanding job of breaking down uninsured statistics into smaller more understandable numbers such as their 14,000 newly uninsured claim.

Parents rebelling against Obama speech to schools

The plans announced by Obama also have been cited as raising the specter of the Civilian National Security Force, to which he's referred several times since his election campaign began, but never fully explained.

Video: Kennedy’s name booed at health-care town hall (HotAir.com)

A palate cleanser via Progress Illinois, which is shocked, shocked to find that Ted Kennedy is still loathed by conservatives in death — quite in contrast to how George W. Bush would be treated if, say, a Republican congressman invoked his name posthumously while addressing a Democratic audience.

Consider this further evidence, though, in case any was indeed that slapping the Ted Kennedy seal of approval on a government program isn’t much of a selling point to anyone to the right of MoveOn.org.

Which is too bad for The One, really, considering how his own vaunted salesman skills have deserted him lately.

Fun fact about Jan Schakowsky, seen here stupidly invoking the hero of Chappaquiddick in defense of her cause before a crowd with right-wingers in it:

To this day, no one has been as blunt about the public option serving as a trojan horse for single-payer as she has.

DEATHCARE TO HELP POOR GERMAM BANKERS

Deutsche Bank and other financial institutions manage complex funds that buy up Americans' life insurance policies and pay their premiums in return for their payouts.

But angry German investors are finding that Americans aren't dying as quickly as expected -- and that only the bankers are making a buck.

HYPOCRITE CHARLIE RANGEL: PUNISH TAX SLIP-UPS BY TAKING AWAY THEIR HEALTHCARE

Even as he fends off accusations about his own failure to pay taxes and fully disclose his financial dealings, Rep. Charles Rangel had quietly slipped into the health-care bill broad new provisions cracking down on taxpayers in proceedings with the IRS, The Post has learned.

The changes approved by the House Ways and Means Committee that Rangel chairs would strip away legal defenses and pile higher penalties on corporate and individual taxpayers facing IRS proceedings for what they claim are unintentional mistakes, experts said.

Rangel’s bill would:

* Punish those who fail to alert the IRS to potentially questionable tax exemptions.

* Bar the IRS from waiving penalties against taxpayers who clearly erred in good faith.

* Double fines in certain circumstances.

“The bill raises penalties and eliminates many of the reasonable defenses that taxpayers have always been able to use when honest mistakes are uncovered,” one lawyer told The Post.

In fact, the bill increases fines “in some cases even for honest mistakes,” the expert added.

DIE ANOTHER DAY AMERICA Cap and Tax Delay - Senate Democrats realize they don't have the vote for now. (WSJ)

Health care isn't the only destructive White House priority running into trouble in the Senate.

Yesterday, Barbara Boxer (Marin County) and John Kerry (Nantucket) announced that Democrats won't release their cap-and-trade bill next week as scheduled after all, but will instead postpone it for up to a month.

It's far too early to say that carbon tax and cap is dead, but mark this delay down as one more sign that it remains well short of 60 votes....

Ms. Boxer and Mr. Kerry insist that all systems are still go, though it didn't sound that way when...

Cap and tax will most hurt the rural and Midwest states that most rely on coal-fired power and heavy manufacturing.

Middle-American Senators aren't about to rush through a huge new tax on carbon energy—e.g., their constituents—that will largely flow to the wealthier coasts, even if it is done in the name of saving the planet while the here-and-now economy is still sputtering.

The House barely passed the Waxman-Markey climate bill in June, and only after weeks of arm-twisting and outright legislative bribery and at significant political cost to Blue Dog Democrats. The same tactics won't be as effective in the upper chamber...

Some union school teachers are nothing but soft thugs. Parents need to ask their children every day if the teacher said anything about Obama, and ask what they said. There is little reason for any teacher to even mention Obama. If a child is confused about Obama and his agenda, demand answers from the School Board, NOT school administration. The elected official has to answer to the voters. School administrators might be controlled by thug unions also, and are part of the problem.

White House Power Grabs : Obama Targets CIA not the Enemy
(Washington Times)

This week, President Obama made two incredibly dangerous and arrogant decisions involving the war on terror.

The creation of an interrogations unit to be supervised directly by the White House is a breathtaking power grab by Mr. Obama, who has already demonstrated his penchant for expanding executive control by appointing three dozen issue-specific "czars" who are accountable to no one but him. Mr. Obama now aims to run terrorist interrogations right from the Oval Office.
