201. Obama Lobbyist Scandal # 5 Jocelyn Frye 3/10/9- And Again a lobbyist for the no-lobbyists Team Obama. Jocelyn Frye got a waiver to be a “senior official” to First Lady, Michaelle Obama.
202. Obama Lobbyist Scandal # 6 Cecilia Munoz 3/10/9- Another Lobbyist for the still-no-lobbyists Obama Administration. Cecilia Munoz got a waiver to be director of governmental affairs. And with how many affairs these politicians have, she likely will be busy. (Oh, C’mon….that was too funny!). UPDATE 4/22/9 Fox Reports a top Obama adviser said “the brakes were applied after the third waiver (for Munoz) was issued, saying the White House feared it was on “kind of a slippery slope. You learn from your experiences.”The question that had been raised at that point, the adviser said was, “Are we unwittingly going down a road we shouldn’t be?”
203. Obama Transparency Lie on Bank Bailouts 3/10/9- Another lie from Barack Obama. Remember the bit about being transparent? Tim the Tax Cheat Geithner and Ben the Fed Reserve Chair Bernanke both refuse to tell the American people which banks got bailout money and how much was paid for assets. They say that would be too hard! Melanie Sloan from Citizens for Responsibility & Ethics in Washington told Fox News: “It’s taxpayer dollars, and we as taxpayers then have a right to know where that money is going,” she said. “And I just can’t understand why there should be any secrecy about that.”
204. Obama School Voucher Flip Flop 3/10/9- “Let’s see if the [school voucher] experiment works,” Obama said. “And if it does, whatever my preconception, you do what’s best for kids.” Yet by signing the $410-billion omnibus porkulus bill, 1,700 low-income D.C. youth who currently receive up to $7,500 a year for education that is working at private schools will have to enroll in a public school in 2010. Most of the poor kids Obama kicks out, even though the vouchers are working, are black Americans.
205. Obama Tax Cheat Scandal # 6 (And Appointment Scandal #29) Caroline Atkinson 3/12/9 - nominated for Undersecretary for International Affairs, Atkinson is told to withdraw because of a “tax problem.” ABCDEmocrat News’ George Step-in-a-lot-of-it tries to spin the Obama failures to pick good people into a positive by saying, “dozens of candidates…have been forced to pull out because they couldn’t meet…Obama’s ethics standards!” That’s because he doesn’t have any!
206. Obama Appointment Scandal #30 Annette Nazareth - ABCDEmocrat News reports 3/12/9 that Obama’s pick for Deputy Treasury Secretary is forced to withdraw after “senators made it clear she would face tough questioning over her time at the Securities and Exchange Commission — tenure that overlapped with the agency’s failure to catch Bernie Madoff.“
207. Obama Appointment Scandal #31 H. Rodgin Cohen - ABCDEmocrat News reports 3/12/9 H. Rodgin Cohen, a NY Lawyer, was removed from consideration for Deputy Treasury Secretary after “issues arose” in the final stages of the vetting process. You mean they actually have a vetting process?!
208. Obama’s Foreign Car Drivers Blunder 3/12/9- Obama appoints a bunch of people to a Car Czar committee and 16 of the 18 don’t even drive American cars!
209. Obama’s VP Mixed up with Financial Fraud Scheme 3/12/9- A firm controlled by rogue financier Allen Stanford, marketed a fund managed by Vice-president Joe Biden’s sons, Hunter and James. The $50 million fund was jointly branded between the Bidens’ Paradigm Global Advisors and a Stanford Financial Group entity, mixed up in an $8-billion fraud case.
210. Obama Breaks Promise to Limit Earmarks to 1994 levels! 3/12/2009 World Net Daily reports, “Obama and Biden will slash earmarks to no greater than 1994 levels and ensure all spending decisions are open to the public.” However, watchdog group Taxpayers for Common Sense reports that the omnibus pork alone already totals $7.7 billion – just less than the total of $7.8 billion in earmarks in 1994.”
211. Obama’s Line by Line Lie - White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs admitted President Obama lied. Gibbs told reporters the President did not go through the omnibus spending bill line by line. During the campaign, Obama promised to review every bill “page by page, line by line!” to get rid of pork.
212. Obama’s Biggest Lie Yet: The Economy Lie 3/13/9 -His Lie: “I’ve never bought into these Malthusian, woe, Chicken Little, the earth is falling. I tend to be pretty optimistic.” This from the guy who said “economic catastrophe,” “might not ever recover,” “unable to reverse,” “create a negative spiral,” “Could become dramatically worse,” “Economic crisis could linger for years,” and on and on. We have been Leading the way Right on this story. UPDATE 4/16/9 Washington Exmainer: Obama still sending mixed messages on economy!
213. Obama’s Health Tax Flip Flop -3/14/9 Candidate Obama on a televised debate: “For the first time in American history, he wants to tax your health benefits. Apparently, Senator McCain doesn’t think it’s enough that your health premiums have doubled. He thinks you should have to pay taxes on them too.” NY Times 3/14/9: “The Obama administration is signaling to Congress that the president could support taxing some employee health benefits.”
214. Obama’s “Fundamentally Sound” Economy Flip-flop 3/16/9-After making fun of John McCain for saying the fundamentals of the economy were sound during the campaign, and now that the economy is much worse, the Obama Pancake House now says the fundamentals are strong! As Obama said in his own TV ad, how can this guy lead when he doesn’t even know there is a problem?
215. Obama & Geithner’s AIG Lie - Tim the Tax Cheat Geithner and President Obama say the 2 were unaware of the extent of the AIG bonuses until March 10th, a lie. Fox Business reports emails prove the US Treasury knew about the AIG bonuses last November. Rush Limbaugh says (see video here) a democrat congressmen asked Geithner about the bonuses on March 3rd! So Geithner and Team Obama’s street gang knew about this at least one week earlier than they say. UPDATE 3/18/9 Obama says about AIG bonuses “I’ll take responsibility, I’m the President.” UPDATE 3/24/9: Geithner repeats his March 10th lie in front of congress, despite the video.
216. Obama Broken AIG Executive Pay Pledge 3/17/9- In February, the President promised to crack down on executive pay for companies that take “exceptional” amounts of socialist bailout money. AIG has taken $170-billion and has another $30-billion on the way from Team Obama. Yet the President broke his pledge and did nothing to stop 73 AIG execs from taking home bonuses of between $1-and-$6.4-million bucks each!
217. Obama Appointment Scandal #32 - Vivek Kundra 3/17/9- Business Insider: America’s CIO Vivek Kundra, “a man we [Buinsess Insider] called on to resign this morning, is back on the job.” Vivek is part of an ongoing FBI investigation into financial kickbacks at his old offices.” FBI arrests two of Kundra’s co-workers. UPDATE 10/16/9: From ComputerWorld.com: “A week after Kundra was appointed to the White House post, federal law enforcement officials filed bribery charges against Yusuf Acar, the department’s acting chief security officer, in connection with what prosecutors alleged were a number of schemes developed to defraud the District of thousands of dollars. The scheme involved adding non-existent employees, or “ghost workers”,” to the city payroll. Payments were allegedly made to those “workers.” After the arrests, Kundra took a leavefrom his new federal post. Once the Obama administration determined that Kundra was not connected to the bribery scheme, he returned to the post. “


New Obama Book Coming March 2010!

218. Obama Appointment Scandal #33 - David Hamilton 3/17/9- Obama’s first judicial appointment to the 7th circuit US Court of Appeals, (a former ACORN volunteer) Hamilton In 2003 struck down part of an Indiana law requiring abortion clinics to give women information about alternatives to abortion in the presence of a physician or nurse. God forbid! What kind of society would give them “alternatives?!” The information had to be given to women 18 hours before the procedure, requiring them to make two visits to the doctor’s office to obtain the procedure. The Hamilton Pro-Abortion decision was overturned on appeal. In 2005, the former ACLU Board member ruled the daily invocation at the Indiana House too often referred to Jesus Christ and a Christian god, in violation of the Constitution, which forbids the government to show preference for any religious denomination. That Hamilton decision also was overturned on appeal. Obama said next time (it’s always next time with him), he will talk with republicans first because he wants to “put the confirmation wars behind us.” The ‘wars’ are the ones Obama took part in when he voted against John Roberts and Samuel Alito. UPDATE 11/17/9: Fox News reports, “Democrats, with a bit of Republican help, voted 70-29 to limit debate on U.S. District Judge David Hamilton, exceeding the 60 votes needed and assuring his confirmation to the Chicago-based appeals court by a simple majority of the 100-member Senate…Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., voted against ending the debate on Hamilton. “Judge Hamilton is the definition of an activist judge and is clearly not qualified to sit on a court of appeals,” he said in a written statement. “Judge Hamilton, who spent years working with the ACLU and ACORN, has used his position on the bench to drive his personal political agenda.” UPDATE 11/19/9 - Judge Hamilton gets confirmed.
219. Obama Thanks Himself Stumble - John Romano at Big Hollywood: 3/19/9 - Video of the event with Obama and Brian Cowen has not been released…(it) shows Obama oftentimes has no idea what is on that teleprompter before he reads it and therefore, as he did on St. Patrick’s Day, ends up doing things like thanking himself for inviting everyone to the White House! An endearing gaffe between two national leaders? Or President Obama sincerely thanking President Obama for inviting everyone to the White House? The fact that the video has been suppressed may be very telling. “Mr. Obama is an accomplished orator but is becoming known in America as the ‘teleprompt president’ over his reliance on the machine when he gives a speech.” — Sky News, 3/18
220. Obama Terrorist Scandal # 4 -Release them in the States! 3/19/9- Fox reports: Obama’s AG. Eric Let Em Go Holder says for “people who can be released there are a variety of options that we have and among them is the possibility is that we would release them into this country.” Pure lunacy.
221. Obama Administration Seeks Unprecedented Powers over Private Industry - 3/19/9 The Charlotte Observer says Obama wants: “new powers to seize troubled companies such as AIG – and take ownership of their toxic assets – if their collapse would threaten the financial system. His administration will propose…a “resolution authority” that would have powers similar to those of the FDIC, which can seize control of banks, take over bad assets and sell good ones.” No details (of course) on how they would pay for such a plan.
222. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Russian Reset Gaffe March, 2009 - Fox News: “During a March meeting in Geneva with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, she presented a gift-wrapped red button that said “Reset” in English and “Peregruzka” in Russian. The problem was, “peregruzka” doesn’t mean reset. It means overcharged, or overloaded. “You got it wrong,” Lavrov said.”
223. Obama Comedian Gaffe # 2: Makes Fun of Special Olympians 3/20/9- Obama tells Jay Leno on the Tonight Show that he bowled a low 129 and laughed “It was like the Special Olympics or something.” Not funny to special olympians who work hard, train hard and compete to the best of their abilities. The distasteful joke is the latest blunder for the President who can’t speak without his teleprompter. Fox reports on what Tim Shriver, Chairman of Special Olympics said: “I think it’s important to see that words hurt and words do matter. And these words that in some respect can be seem as humiliating or a put down to people with special needs do cause pain and they do result in stereotypes.”
224. Obama: No Press at Press Award Ceremony? - 3/20/9 The LA Times was not amused: “The National Newspaper Publishers Association named Obama ‘Newsmaker of the Year.’ The president is to receive the award from the federation of black community newspapers in a White House ceremony this afternoon. The Obama White House has closed the press award ceremony to the press.”
225. Obama Hurts American Businesses over 97 Trucks! - 3/20/9 Charles Krauthammer: “There are more than 6.5 million trucks in the United States. The program Congress terminated allowed 97 Mexican trucks to roam among them. Ninety-seven! Shutting them out not only undermines NAFTA. It caused Mexico to retaliate with tariffs on 90 goods affecting $2.4 billion in U.S. trade coming out of 40 states.”
226. Obama Lobbyist Scandal #7 Richard Verma 3/20/9- Jen Demascio of the Politico reports: Obama’s pledge to prevent lobbyists from his administration from working on issues they had advocated for, is being tested again. His no lobbyist-administration says the pick for assistant secretary of state for legislative affairs, Richard Verma, would not need a waiver because he had not lobbied the State Department. Senate records, however, indicate that Verma had lobbied the State Department. Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor said those records were wrong and were “corrected” to exclude the State Department on Jan. 23 – two days after Obama announced his new no-lobbyist rules! Convenient. UPDATE 4/22/9 Top Adviser to Obama says “the toughest promise to keep has been on reducing the role of lobbyists.” Some sources say Obama has had 17 lobbyists already!
227. Obama Terrorist Scandal # 5 -Moderate Taliban 3/20/9- Even the Taliban agree with our 3/8/9 post saying Obama is off his rocker for thinking there are moderate Taliban he can negotiate with. A terrorist spokesman (this is indeed a strange world) said, “I do not know why they are talking about moderate Taliban and what it means. If it means those who are not fighting and are sitting in their homes, then talking to them is meaningless. This really is surprising the Taliban.”
228. Terrorist Scandal # 6: Terror is Nothing to Fear! KOA Radio’s Gunny Bob reports “In a March 2009 interview in Der Spiegel magazine, Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano stated that in her view the appropriate term for acts of terror is not terrorism, but rather “man-caused disasters,” as the latter term “move(s) away from the politics of fear.” You see, terror isn’t really something to fear. (?)
229. Obama’s False Gas Mileage Claim -3/21/9 Obama claims: ‘The 1908 Model T — think about this — the 1908 Model T earned better gas mileage than the typical SUV in 2008… Think about that: 100 years later, and we’re getting worse gas mileage, not better, on SUVs.’ Ford says Model T’s got as low as 13 mpg while most SUV’s get 18+.
230. Obama Scandal - Selected To Give Commencement Address at Notre Dame - 3/21/9 The Cardinal Newman Society says, “It is an outrage and a scandal that ‘Our Lady’s University,’ one of the premier Catholic universities in the United States, would bestow such an honor on President Obama given his clear support for policies and laws that directly contradict fundamental Catholic teachings on life and marriage.”
231. Obama Comedian Gaffe #3: “Punch Drunk” Joker-in-Chief on Economy- The President is full of laughs lately. This time he joked and laughed during a 3/22/9 60-minutes interview with Steve Kroft about how bad the economy is!…Yeah, that’s really funny…not. See the video of Obama laughing like a school girl here.
232. Obama Confused About Who Runs Italy -3/22/9 Pajamas Media: Obama “sent a letter to Italian President Giorgio Napolitano (a member of the now defunct Communist Party), expressing confidence that the US & Italy would work together “to overcome the current global political & economic hardships & build a safer world.” The only problem was that the Italian president does not make policy; that power resides with the prime minister & his cabinet…instead of addressing himself to Prime Minister Silvio (Obama has a nice even Tan) Berlusconi, Obama wrote to a man who holds an almost entirely ceremonial position.
233. Obama Plays Both Sides of Economy- He says it could take a long time for the economy to improve and told the press on 3/24/9 that patience was needed. At the same time, Obama’s own budget forecasts the recession will continue through this year but with a relatively shallow 1.2 percent decline in the gross domestic product. It predicts solid growth of more than 3% each year after that.
234. Obama Pessimism and Optimism: Same Thing- 3/24/9 One moment he claims “even under the most pessimistic estimates” he will cut the budget deficit in half in 10 years and Fox Reports the next minute explaining the differences between his $2.3-Trillion predicted budget deficit projections and CBO’s $9.3-Trillion figure, Obama said his administration projects a higher growth rate.”
235. Obama’s Blue Chip Lie- 3/24/9 The president claims his optimistic budget assumptions are “perfectly consistent with what blue chip forecasters out there are saying.” Fox News says that’s not true: “1.9% vs 1.2%. Then…growth of only 2.1% next year, instead of 3.2%, and less than 3% in each of the next 3 years, when the administration’s forecasts are for 4% or better.”
236. Obama Plans to Help Irresponsible Homeowners- The Prez claims his housing bailout helps “responsible homeowners” stay in their homes. His team disagrees. Fed Chair Bernanke says “it means assistance will go to some who should have known better than to get in over their heads.” THe FDIC chair says its impractical to think they could examine every delinquent loan and weed out those taken by people who overstated their income or assets to get a mortgage they couldn’t afford.
237. Obama’s War on the Military- 3/24/9 The President wants to stop paying bills for injured veterans! He wants their private insurance companies to pay first. Of course that won’t force insurance companies to raise rates for those in the military…will it?!
238. Obama Fails to Consult Congress- 3/24/9 The Washington Times: “President Obama failed to consult Congress, as promised, before carving out exceptions to the omnibus spending bill he signed into law — breaking his own signing statement rules two days after issuing them — and raised questions among lawmakers and committees who say the president’s objections are unclear at best and a power grab at worst.” –After blasting Bush for using Signing Statements to bypass congress and promising he would never do that, Obama breaks his word again. From May, 2008:
     
     Despite those grand words, the NY Times says: “President Obama on Wednesday issued his first signing statement, reserving a right to bypass dozens of provisions in a $410 billion government spending bill even as he signed it into law. In the statement — directions to executive-branch officials about how to carry out the legislation — Mr. Obama instructed them to view most of the disputed provisions as merely advisory and nonbinding, saying they were unconstitutional intrusions on his own powers. Mr. Obama’s instructions followed by two days his order to government officials that they not rely on any of President George W. Bush’s provision-bypassing signing statements without first consulting Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. In that order, Mr. Obama said he would continue the practice of issuing signing statements, though “with caution and restraint, based only on interpretations of the Constitution that are well founded.” –ConservativeAmerican.org’s take: More blazing lies from the left.
239. Obama Appointment Scandal # 34 - Christopher Hill 3/25/9- Washington Times: “nominee for ambassador to Iraq, is a disconcerting choice…the current assistant sec. of state for East Asian & Pacific affairs, he presided over negotiations with N. Korea that deliberately minimized focus on the bleak human rights record…ignored its nuclear proliferation, & had the practical effect of affirming its nuclear weapons capability. Hill also has a troubling hotdog tendency to play by his own rules. A letter signed by Sen. Brownback & 4 other senators notes Hill’s “evasive & unprofessional activities” including “sidelining key officials” & “breaking commitments” to Congress…in July 2005…he violated U.S. policy and express orders from superiors by meeting with N. Korean Vice Minister Kim Kye-gwan in Berlin to revive the 6-Party talks….Japanese magazine Shukan Gendai [reported]…Pyongyang is conducting back-channel diplomacy directly to the Obama White House, courtesy of Hill…worth examining…” Us: Could it be Bill Clinton? Times: “Hill, as portrayed in David Sanger’s book The Inheritance, gripes about the Bush administration…”these [expletives] don’t know how to negotiate.” He said that hard-line demarches favored by “neocons” were worse than the terms offered at Appomattox. But the inescapable fact is that N. Korea…in 2006…tested its first atom bomb. Hill’s crowning achievement was having N. Korea taken off the list of terrorist states….We [Times] wonder if Hill will speak firmly to Iran regarding Iranian weapons, training & intelligence support being used to destabilize Iraq & kill Americans, or dismiss those matters as impediments to reaching a “grand bargain” with Iran.” UPDATE 9/18/9: While Hill did not make the Sean Hannity “President’s Top Ten” list, he did make our “Obama’s Most Unwanted List!” which was published prior to the Hannity show.
240. Obama Gun Rights Flip Flop # 2 - Candidate Obama: ‘I have no intention of taking away folks’ guns.’ 2/25/9 ABC reports President Obama now says through his Attorney General Eric Let Em Go Holder, “there are just a few gun-related changes that we would like to make, and among them would be to reinstitute the ban on the sale of assault weapons” UPDATE 4/25/9 MSNBC reports: “Permanently reinstating a ban on assault weapons…100 days into his presidency, President Obama says it remains a goal…President Obama and Vice-President Biden, “support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent,” the White House website declares.”
241. Obama Appointment Scandal # 35: Joseph Cannon - 3/25/9 Obama’s pick for number two at the EPA, Joe Cannon, takes himself out of the running after reports surface that the grants made by the “America’s Clean Water Foundation,” where he was a board member, were under “scrutiny” and funds had been embezzled.
242. Obama Apology Tour # 2- Apologizing for USA causing Problems in Mexico - 3/25/9 Fox News: “I feel very strongly we have a co-responsibility (for drug-fueled violence in Mexico). … Our insatiable demand for illegal drugs fuels the drug trade. Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals causes the deaths of police officers, soldiers and civilians.” – Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, en route to Mexico City
243. Obama Funds Company to Profit From Green Energy Agenda -3/25/9 Fox: Obama served as a Chicago-based Joyce Foundation board member and voted to fund a carbon trading exchange that “is likely to fill a critical role in the controversial cap-and-trade carbon reduction scheme that Obama is now trying to push rapidly through Congress” (to the dismay of 28 senators). The grants helped develop & launch the privately-owned Chicago Climate Exchange, which now calls itself “North America’s only cap and trade system for all six greenhouse gases.” So, Like Gore before him, Obama pushes green to make green. Then Joyce Foundation Prez, Paula DiPerna, now is conveniently exec. VP of the Climate Exchange.
244. Obama Appointment Scandal #36 -Chief of Staff Helped Ruin Economy! (& Tax Cheat Scandal # 7?) -3/26/9 Bankrupt Chicago Tribune: “Before its portfolio of bad loans helped trigger the current housing crisis, mortgage giant Freddie Mac was the focus of a major accounting scandal that led to a management shake-up, huge fines and scalding condemnation of passive directors by a top federal regulator. One of those allegedly asleep-at-the-switch board members was Chicago’s Rahm Emanuel —now chief of staff to (Obama) —who made at least $320,000 for a 14-month stint at Freddie Mac that required little effort. Emanuel now plays a critical role in addressing the nation’s mortgage woes.” UPDATE 2/8/9: National Review Online: “Another Possible Obama Tax Problem? The White House chief of staff [Rahm Emanuel] said this week that he did not pay rent during the five years he bunked at the Capitol Hill home of Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn). But that raises questions whether Emanuel reported the rent-free lodging to Congress, since DeLauro is married to pollster Stan Greenberg. And will either of the parties report what could be “imputed income” to the IRS? Reps for Emanuel and DeLauro argue that House Ethics rules allow “hospitality between colleagues.” Both Rahm Emanuel and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (which Emanuel was formely the chairman of) are listed as clients on the website of Stan Greenberg’s polling company.”
245. Obama Fakes Town Hall Meeting! - 3/28/9 IUSB Vision notes: “The online question portion of the White House town hall was open to any member of the public with an Internet connection, the five fully identified questioners called on “randomly” by the president in the East Room were anything but a diverse lot. They included: a member of the pro-Obama Service Employees International Union, a member of the Democratic National Committee who campaigned for Obama among Hispanics during the primary; a former Democratic candidate for Virginia state delegate who endorsed Obama last fall in an op-ed in the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star; and a Virginia businessman who was a donor to Obama’s campaign in 2008.” Quite the contrast with Obama’s words: “I think it’s important to engage your critics … because not only will you occasionally change their mind but, more importantly, sometimes they will change your mind,”

246. Obama’s Pakistan Lie - 3/29/9 During the campaign, Sen. Obama repeatedly said he would attack terrorists in Pakistan with or without permission from the Pakistani government. He reiterated this policy in a debate in October 2008. On CBS’ Face the Democrat Press Nation, he now utters this lie: “I haven’t changed my approach” but goes on to say he would only go into Pakistan “after consulting with Pakistan.” A huge flip flop that Obama 2012 staffer Bob Schieffer doesn’t even ask him about. Click here for the video and fast forward to about 2:14.
247. Obama’s GM Lie #1 - 3/30/9 President Obama: “Let me be clear. The United States government has no interest in running GM. We have no intention of running GM.” While out of the other side of his mouth he fires the GM CEO and has his own team creating a new business plan for GM. Sounds like running the company to us!
248. Obama’s GM Lie #2 - 3/30/9 President Obama said firing the GM CEO was not a “condemnation” of Rick Wagoner. While out of the other side of his mouth he says, “we cannot continue to excuse poor decisions,” fires the CEO, and says GM needs a new vision and direction (not Wagoner’s) to create the GM (Rush Limbaugh calls it Government Motors) of the future.
249. Obama’s GM Warranty Promise - 3/30/9 He fires the GM CEO, then he granted his royal self the authority to honor all warranties issued by two private companies; General Motors and Chrysler! Who gave this King the authority to decide that taxpayers (that’s you and I!) will suddenly be on the hook to pay for cars when they break down or have a recall? Obama today took the power of the congress to decide on this huge new expense. He did so without any legislative approval, again attacking the US Constitution.
250. Obama Tries to Intimidate a US Congressman! - 3/30/9 The Wall Street Journal: “Don’t think we’re not keeping score, brother.” That’s what President Barack Obama said to Rep. Peter DeFazio in a closed-door meeting of the House Democratic Caucus last week, according to the Associated Press. A few weeks ago, Mr. DeFazio voted against the administration’s stimulus bill. The comment from Mr. Obama was a presidential rebuke and part of a new, hard-nosed push by the White House to pressure Congress to adopt the president’s budget.”
