HOW OBAMA SHOULD HANDLE SPENDING CUTS
President Obama should go through all the spending Republicans in
the House and Senate approved for their districts or state and say he will
release the names of every Republican who loaded up a bill with pork barrel
projects for his district or state.
Obama should spell out what spending the Republicans slipped
through on the backs of other legislation for their districts or states.
Republicans are screaming their heads off wanting President Obama
to make cuts or revamp Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
Politics isn't bean ball and President Obama has to get tough with
Republicans and let them know he will "out" every Republican who padded
legislation with pork barrel projects that make them look good to their
constituency.
There are two ways to skin a cat, as the old bromide goes, and
Obama can take it a step further by pointing out how lobbyists padded the
coffers of certain Republican Congressman and Senators so they pushed through
spending for their districts or state.
Republicans not only want to shave Social Security, Medicare and
Medicaid, but they are furious about any spending cuts to the Department of
Defense which everyone knows is a bloated program loaded with wasteful
spending.
Harry S. Truman wouldn't have allowed Republicans to push him
around like they have been doing to President Obama.
He would have done what I'm suggesting and let the Republicans
scream bloody murder.

REPUBLICANS, FOX NEWS AND JOE SCARBOROUGH DON'T HAVE A CLUE
Republicans, Fox News and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough could not be more
patently wrong by saying the Obama approved U.S. Drone attacks that targeted
some Americans in Afghanistan and Pakistan who are giving aide and comfort to
the enemy is worse than the waterboarding that the Bush/Cheney administration
approved of during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
To begin with waterboarding (enhanced interrogation techniques) and
Drone attacks are a non-sequitur. They aren't even in the same ballpark.
It is a well known fact that waterboarding never produced an ounce
of credible intelligence, but you would never know that by listening to
Republicans, Fox News and Joe Scarborough.
In fact, one of the detainees housed at Gitmo was waterboarded over
180 times and he never gave his interrogators anything of value they could use.
Today, John Brennan will face a battery of attacks from Republicans
in a Senate confirmation hearing for his appointment by Obama to head up the
CIA. Brennan has been a valuable member of the intelligence community for over
25 years.
The lies by the Repbublicans on the confirmation hearings committee
wlll be flying fast and furious, but all Brennan would have to do is remind the
Republicans that Drone attacks have prevented hundreds if not thousands of U.S.
troops from being killed in Afghanistan.
Brennan should also remind the Republicans that Vice President Dick
Cheney pulled out all the stops and lied about Saddam Hussein having Weapons of
Mass destruction and a nuclear capability.
Cheney's lies cost 4,700 American lives in Iraq and another 70,000
troops severely wounded. Also, it is estimated over one million Iraqi citizens
were killed during the course of the four year Iraq war.
The Republicans, Fox News and Joe Scarborough have accused
President Obama of keeping secret the operation of our un-manned Drones in
Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Obama has made available to the Senate committee holding hearings
today a complete report on our Drone operation and why some Americans were
targeted because they were working with the enemy.

FOX NEWS ACCUSES HILLARY CLINTON OF HAVING A FACE LIFT
Fox News' Steve Doocy, who is one of the hosts of "Fox and Friends," accused Hillary Clinton of having a face lift. Click on the link below to see how other Fox News anti-American blowhards blasted Hillary Clinton and how they want to make the attack on the Benghazi, Libya "listening post" (not the embassy or even a consulate) into a major story, but yet Fox News never said a thing when Vice President Dick Cheney lied about WMDs and nukes in Iraq and led the charge to go to war with Iraq which eventually cost 4,700 American lives and 70,000 Americans seriously wounded. Fox News is sinking in the ratings and hopefully they will soon be just a distant memory because they have done more to divide this country than anything or anyone in the history of the United States. And if you can't see that, you are dumber than a box of rocks.

WARNING: NOT FOR THE PRUDISH: ADMITTED MURDERER JODI ARIAS TALKS ABOUT ORAL SEX WITH MAN SHE MURDERED
The trial of Jodi Arias took an alarming twist when she testified in graphic detail about the oral sex which she had with her lover Travis Alexander who she later shot in the head, stabbed him 27 times and then slit this throat from ear to ear.
The story in the link below contains explicit details of the sexcapades as well as pictures of Jodi Arias and murder scene pictures of Travis Alexander after she murdered him.
Arias has already admitted she murdered Alexander and is trying to be kept from being put to death.
Arias is a cute sex bomb and courtroom observers say the 11 men on the jury were leaning forward to hear every word she told the jury and court in Phoenix, Arizona about the details of having oral sex with Alexander and what happened after he ejaculated into her mouth.
Here is the link to story and gallery of pictures of Jodi Arias and graphic murder scene pictures of Travis Alexander: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/05/jodi-arias-murder-trial-sexcapades_n_2626842.html?ref=topbar

50 KILLED IN EGYPT RIOTS. FOX NEWS WILL BE CALLING FOR OBAMA TO SEND IN TROOPS
FOX NEWS is already cranking up the war machinery because riots have broke out all across EGYPT and more than 50 people have been killed. I'm sure FOX NEWS will have former UN Ambassador JOHN BOLTON and other chickenhawks including retired military personnel who ALL are now lobbyists for the defense industry on their shows all day long calling for OBAMA to send in troops to EGYPT. However, it should be noted NONE of the troops would be sons and daughters of FOX NEWS personnel who do everything possible to avoid enlisting in the military. Here is what is happening in EGYPT this morning: http://www.foxnews.com/world/

HILLARY CLINTON RIPS INTO REPUBLICAN SENATOR
The Republicans and their mouthpiece Fox News have been waiting for
months to get their chance to question outgoing Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton on the attack on the Benghazi, Libya listening post (it was not a
consulate or the embassy which is in Tripoli, Libya), but when it came time to
question Clinton yesterday the Republicans were left twisting in the wind.
The Republicans were no match for Hillary Clinton who was totally
prepared to answer all their questions on why the U.S. Ambassador to Libya,
Chris Stevens, and three other Americans were killed on in Benghazi on September
11, 2012.
Hard as they tried to catch Hillary Clinton in a lie, the poor,
dumb Republicans came to the hearing with nothing but Fox News "talking points"
which, of course, were all lies.
Clinton smartly allowed the Republicans to take potshots at her,
but when freshman Republican Sen. Ron Johnson stepped over the line with a snide
comment directed at her, Clinton fired back in what was the highlight of the
hearings.
Click on this link to see how Hillary Clinton dealt with Republican
Sen. Ron Johnson:
Republicans kept referring to the Benghazi, Libya "listening post"
as a consulate or the embassy which only indicated how ill-prepared they were
for the questioning of Hillary Clinton.
Several Democratic Senators including Dick Durbin from Illinois
were quick to point out 4,700 young Americans were killed in a war started under
false information by President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick
Cheney.
Durbin emphasized his point by saying tragic as it was there were
only 4 Americans killed in the Benghazi, Libya attack compared to the 4,700
Americans killed in Iraq.
Clinton listened politely as one Republican after another trotted
out Fox News "talking points" in an effort to try to paint her as not doing her
job, but Clinton just let them keep digging themselves into an even deeper
hole.
Republicans left the hearing with their tails between their legs
and many of them rushed to Fox News where they knew Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity
and Greta Van Sustern would allow them to continue to spin their lies about the
Bengahzi attack.
Someday Republicans may realize Fox News is not a news
organization, but instead the propaganda arm of the GOP which is in the twilight
of their ratings dominance as more and more people realize look at Fox News as a
total joke.

FOX NEWS DOESN'T KNOW SQUAT
BILL O'REILLY, SEAN HANNITY, GRETA VAN SUSTERN, NEIL CAVUTO and all
of the FOX NEWS on-air hosts are so dumb they don't know that PRESIDENT OBAMA is
saving his plans for the nation until he gives the State of the Union address
later this month.
All day Monday, FOX NEWS on-air people were bitching about how
President Obama's inaugural address was short on specifics.
The FOX NEWS on-air people are so stupid they don't realize
President Obama is saving the details of his plans for the nation until he gives
the State of Union address.
That is how it is done.
FOX NEWS gets away with the lies they tell because they know their
audience comes from the low information people who haven't got a clue what is
REALLY going on in the United States.
BILL O'REILLY went totally off the rails with his rant about how
President Obama is leading the nation into a disaster.
