    I don't even know where to begin with that... probably fraud... look up the Obama Rezko lot transaction. The case is, amazingly, still open.

    Hmmm the IRS investigation has just debunked the "two rouge agents" lie and fingered the second highest political appointee at the IRS as complicit and giving the directions along with Lerner who took the 5th. The Benghazi has just found out the administration made the people there sign new NDF's to keep the quiet and had State Department security planted at their doors in the hospital to keep them under wraps.

    Going somewhere inch by inch, foot by foot.

    The only effect of the sequester were the plots to make the American people hurt as much as possible over avoidable cuts to specific programs design to make it political. The fact is spending needs to be cut even further.

    All they can do is pass their legislation, which they have, send to the Senate, which they have and watch it die their. They attend Obama's few meetings only to see him and the Democrats not do anything afterwards.

    Yes remember this, the last time the Republicans were in charge we had 52 months of full employement a growing economy, not one just barely staying alive at all, and declining deficits down to a paltry $161B.

    What have we had under the Democrat rule?

    The only whining was just demonstrated by you and mimics the Democrats to a tee as they fail to get anything passed to even begin to discuss with the Republicans.

    No

    No, a violation of his oath of office.

    No, malfeasance in office perhaps

    No but again perhaps malfeasance.

    That could be a crime if he was complicit, certainly an impeachable offense.

    No.

    No. I would applaud that. The GOP is guilty of deceiving us. We will know they mean what they say when they zero out the budget for Obamacare. Voting to repeal it is showmanship. WE have seen the show. Now defund every facet of that horrible law.

    I suspect that this was a form letter from the Congressman to placate his base.

    It has a generic feel to it.

    But hey- investigate away.

    Sure better than the assumption of guilt that most of the Obama-haters here espouse.

    Of course, someone would run with a Texan lie. Does your elected officials ever lie to you?

    They usual tell you what you want to hear whether true or not.

    Obama has had to deal with the most pathetic Congress in the history of America. The fact they haven't gotten the hint that if they continue pandering to their base of rejects, they will continue looking like clowns on the national stage, is amazing!! Which is why the Republican House has the lowest approval ratings in all the government. When you waste Americans time with these stupid investigations that any sane person can tell is being done for purely political reasons, you are going to continue losing voters.

    So keep it up, 2014 is going to be another fun year for Dems. Get rid of these nut job obstructionist do-nothing Republicans in Congress. Like Bob Dole says, Repubs should close up shop for the rest of the year and develop a new positive strategy, rather then this clown like "scandalgate" strategy. Embarrassing.

    evidently you don't understand what proof is

    i started both of my businesses myself, with my own money

    and of course your statement about 'what a joke' is a complete lie



    that was just to crawford, bush's total travel spending was more than obama's

    and bush went to africa five times in his second term, alone


    Cost of Obama’s Trip is Dwarfed By George And Laura Bush’s Africa Spending Spree

    By: Jason Easley

    As conservatives rage about the cost of Obama’s Africa trip, it is important to remember that George and Laura Bush made a combined 7 trips to Africa all on the taxpayers’ dime.

    We’ve played this game before, but anytime the nation’s first black president spends more than a dollar, the right wing freaks out about Barack Obama “wasting taxpayer dollars.” Back in 2011, the right claimed that First Lady Obama’s Africa trip would cost taxpayers millions, but even if you use numbers that the White House disagrees with ($424,000), they weren’t even close.

    This time the right has whipped up the fake outrage over a leaked document showing that President Obama’s upcoming Africa trip could cost $60-$100 million. What these same people don’t tell is that George and Laura Bush loved to go to Africa on the taxpayers’ dime…a lot.

    During Bush’s second term alone, Laura Bush made five “goodwill” trips to Africa. President Bush made the trip twice during his presidency. Here is former First Lady Bush at an event the night before their trip in 2008, “Tomorrow, President Bush and I leave for what will be my fifth trip to Africa since 2001, and his second trip to Africa since 2001. I’ve seen the determination of the people across Africa — and the compassion of the people of the United States of America.”

    Wow, that’s a lot of trips to Africa. In 2007, Laura Bush also took her daughters with her, and they went on a safari. You know, the same kind of outing that President Obama just canceled.

    Not much was going right for George W. Bush. Even before the economy crashed, his legacy was 9/11, the unpopular Iraq invasion, and Hurricane Katrina. Back in 2003, Bush laid the groundwork for making aid to Africa his legacy. One of the areas where Bush drew praise was that he spent billions of taxpayer dollars on aid to Africa. It’s funny how conservatives don’t utter a peep about George W. Bush dishing out more than ten times the amount of taxpayer money on aid than Obama will spend on his trip.

    Why could the country afford to spend billions of dollars during Bush’s no growth economy, but they can’t afford to spend at least $60 million for the sitting president to travel today?

    Giving aid to Africa to combat malaria and AIDS is a very noble cause. It literally saves lives, but 5 goodwill visits to Africa aren’t cheap. Laura Bush wasn’t flying all alone on a commercial flight. Her trips cost the taxpayers a pretty penny.

    For some odd reason, the GAO (General Accounting Office) records on the cost of the Bush family’s Africa travels seem to have vanished. The media has contacted the GAO, but no specific numbers have been provided yet. President Clinton’s Africa trip in 1998 cost taxpayers $42.8 million. George W. Bush’s two trips five and ten years later were likely more expensive.

    The Washington Post story didn’t say that Obama’s trip will cost $100 million, but that the trip could cost $60-100 million, and that the cost was based on similar African trips made in recent years, “Obama’s trip could cost the federal government $60 million to $100 million based on the costs of similar African trips in recent years, according to one person familiar with the journey, who was not authorized to speak for attribution.”

    President Obama hasn’t made any trips to Africa, except a 22 hour stopover in Ghana in 2009, so it is pretty clear that Secret Service is basing their cost estimate on the cost of the Bush trips. Since George W. Bush made two presidential trips to Africa, it is likely that he spent more money in today’s dollars as President Obama will on his trip.

    Well, it's good to hear that at least somebody is investigating this administration. Considering the state-run media/press is not doing any investigative reporting of this administration and defends everything they do......

    For instance.....raise your hand if you believe the mainstream press/media would be doing some investigative reporting on a Republican administration when there is already proof that the targeting of their political enemies, using the IRS, goes all the way to the top IRS Counsel's Office political appointee of the president? :w00t:

    Then raise your hand if you think the mainstream press/media would be making a stink if a Republican administration's AG had blown off proof provided to him by the IG that showed IRS tax returns of a political candidate and donors of the opposing party had been accessed?
    :woot:

    Goodness. That sounds terrible.

    Well I see in the spirit of openness and candor the fine Texan has listed what exactly these investigations are for.........(*)(*)(*)(*). It would appear he did not.

    Well certainly he listed what the accusations are........(*)(*)(*)(*). He did not do that either.

    Well, let's hope the folks in the great state of Texas fully support these mindless claims of these investigations and the pending impeachment, for crimes no one seems to be aware of.

    You didn't not build your business yourself the government did. You couldn't have done it yourself. You are incapable of doing so.

    Hyperbole much? I do agree that his first two years in office garnered him the most pathetic Congress in history, however.

    his characterization is correct


    After 3 years, House Republicans still voting to repeal ‘Obamacare,’ but have no replacement

    WASHINGTON — Three years after campaigning on a vow to “repeal and replace” President Barack Obama’s health care law, House Republicans have yet to advance an alternative for the system they have voted more than three dozen times to abolish in whole or in part.

    Officially, the effort is “in progress” — and has been since Jan. 19, 2011, according to GOP.gov, a leadership-run website.


    But internal divisions, disagreement about political tactics and Obama’s 2012 re-election add up to uncertainty over whether Republicans will vote on a plan of their own before the 2014 elections, or if not by then, perhaps before the president leaves office, more than six years after the original promise.

    This is the most thoughtful post I have seen from you so far.

    I have a different perspective. The House under Boehner as the Speaker has essentially failed to stop Obama's attempts to generate chaos and collapse. We need a new Speaker if the nation is to survive free.
    If Boehner were a real Speaker he would hold select hearings on every one of the many Obama regime crimes from Fast and Furious gun running to Mexican drug lords to the use of the Internal Service to disrupt opposition to Obama until after the elections to the use of the NSA to spy on every American.
    If he were a real Speaker he would have open hearings on the use of drones in the United States to surveil and monitor American citizens. He would insist that it be curtailed.
    If he were a real Speaker he would pass the symbolic repeals of Obamacare while defunding all of its mechanisms.
    If he were a real Speaker he would understand why limits on governments are good things. He would be able to speak about capitalism without appearing to know nothing about it.

    Maybe I aim too high.

    It's funny you and WaPo think we need a replacement.

    In true Democratic Party fashion, "Let's Repeal It, Then We'll Look to Replace It."
