Democrats ignoring Obama's promise to veto Obamacare adding to the deficit in 2009 and now.


Obama's claim of 8:45PM, September 9, 2009

TO A JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS ON HEALTH CARE
"First, I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits -- either now or in the future.  (Applause.)  I will not sign it if it adds one dime to the deficit, now or in the future, period." 


As Senator, Obama sponsored the PayGo or Sequester Process

110TH CONGRESS 1ST SESSION S. 10 To reinstate the pay-as-you-go requirement and reduce budget deficits by strengthening budget enforcement and fiscal responsibility. JANUARY 4, 2007 Mr. REID (for himself, Mr. CONRAD, Mr. FEINGOLD, Mr. SCHUMER, Mr. SALAZAR, Ms. CANTWELL, Mr. LEAHY, Ms. STABENOW, Mr. MENENDEZ, Mr. KERRY, Mr. HARKIN, Ms. LANDRIEU, Mr. DURBIN, Mr. OBAMA, and Mrs. BOXER) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on the Budget

Obama’s fanciful claim that Congress ‘proposed’ the sequester



(July 12, 2011):

They turned to [White House national economic council director Gene] Sperling for details about a compulsory trigger if they didn’t cut spending or raise taxes in an amount at least equivalent to the debt ceiling increase.
A trigger would lock in our commitment,” Sperling explained. “Even though we disagree on the composition of how to get to the cuts, it would lock us in. The form of the automatic sequester would punish both sides. We’d have to September to avert any sequester” — a legal obligation to make spending cuts.
This would be an enforcement mechanism,” Obama said.
If this is a trigger for tax reform,” [House speaker John] Boehner said, “this could be worth discussing. But as a budget tool, it’s too complicated. I’m very nervous about this.”
Then we could use a medium or big deal to force tax reform,” Obama said optimistically.

(July 26):

At 2:30 p.m., [White House Budget director Jack] Lew and [White House legislative affairs director Rob] Nabors went to the Senate to meet with [Senator Majority Leader Harry] Reid and his chief of staff, David Krone. 
We have an idea for a trigger,” Lew said.
What’s the idea,” Reid asked skeptically. 
“Sequestration.”
Reid bent down and put his head between his knees, almost as if he was going to throw up or was having a heart attack. He sat back up and looked at the ceiling.
A couple of weeks ago,” he said, “my staff said to me that there is one more possible” enforcement mechanism: sequestration. He said he told them, “Get the hell out of here. That’s insane. The White House surely will come up with a plan that will save the day. And you come to me with sequestration?
Well, it could work, Lew and Nabors explained.
What would the impact be?
They would design it so that half the threatened cuts would be from the Defense Department….The idea was to make all of the threatened cuts so unthinkable and onerous that the supercommittee [tasked with making additional cuts] would do its work and come up with its own deficit reduction plan. Lew and Nabors went through a laundry list of programs that would face cuts.
This is ridiculous,” Reid said.
That’s the beauty of a sequester, they said, it’s so ridiculous that no one ever wants it to happen. It was the bomb that no one wanted to drop. It actually would be an action-forcing event.
“I get it,” Reid said finally. 

This is the third reference to the White House putting together the plan for sequester. Granted, they are using language from a congressional law from a quarter-century earlier, but that seems a thin reed on which to say this came from Congress. In fact, Lew had been a policy advisor to then House Speaker Tip O’Neill from 1979 to 1987, and so was familiar with the law.

Republicans agreed to the White House proposal for a sequester.Republicans had to work through the night to understand the White House proposal.






BREAKING: The House will consider a bill this afternoon to delay #Obamacare by one year as well as keep the government running, repeal the medical device tax, and make sure that our military is paid in the event of a government shutdown.

Then and now - Obama on ACA increasing the Deficit/Debt Limit and Democrats threatening a debt default.

OBAMA THREATENING TO SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT FOR OBAMACARE AFTER PROMISING NOT TO INCREASE DEFICIT WITH OBAMACARE  AND THEN BLAMING THE REPUBLICANS

September 9, 2009 REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT TO A JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS ON HEALTH CARE: And here's what you need to know. First, I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits -- either now or in the future. (Applause.) I will not sign it if it adds one dime to the deficit, now or in the future, period. And to prove that I'm serious, there will be a provision in this plan that requires us to come forward with more spending cuts if the savings we promised don't materialize.


 "We have not seen this in the past that a budget is contingent on us eliminating a program that was voted on, passed by both chambers of Congress, ruled constitutional by the Supreme Court, is two weeks from being fully implemented, and that helps 30 million people finally get health care coverage. We've never seen that become the issue around a budget battle. And so that's right now the primary roadblock to resolving the budget. "What's worse, that same faction has said, if we can't succeed in shutting the government down and leveraging that to eliminate the Affordable Care Act, we may be prepared to let the government default on our debt."

Banned On Facebook - Political Comment on "Breitbart- One Voice Silenced, Millions Awakened" Page

“You foolish American Infidels! Obama isn’t coming for OUR guns! Only yours! He is ARMING us for the JIHAD! See you soon!”  was at the base of a picture of Ali Beheshti, posing with a gun in this Metropolitan Police photo, who admitted conspiracy to endanger life. This was posted by a user on the Facebook page of Breitbart- One Voice Silenced, Millions Awakened. 

ALL of the administrators of that page were logged out for violating the Terms of Service because one of their members uploaded a picture that offended the delicate sensitivities of al Qaeda terrorists. 

Ali Beheshti once paraded his baby in an 'I love Al Qaeda' hat. Now he has been sentenced to four and a half years for firebombing the home of the publisher of a novel about Mohammed. You have to wonder how this terrorist, who looks like actor Dominic Purcell with a beard, was able to get a handgun in the United Kingdom. 

However, most of all, why does Facebook allows a Jihadist Facebook named Fuck Israel
 

to publish violent comments against Israelis while banning an image that is actually a political statement about the Obama Administration. 



PROGRESSIVISM THAT CAN BE RESPECTED

Republican Leaders in the Senate & House

Senator Jim DeMint's Official YouTube Account Following the November elections in 2006, the senator stood up against big spenders in Congress and stopped over 10,000 wasteful pork projects. Famed Washington journalist Robert Novak called him a "hero."He was recently ranked as the Senate's most conservative member by National Journal and as the No. 1 senator voting for responsible tax and spending policies by the National Taxpayers Union. DeMint understands the greatness of a country is found in its people and values, not in its government http://www.youtube.com/user/SenJimDeMint
Republican Leader of the House, John Boehner House Republican Leader and a staunch opponent of pork-barrel politics, John is fighting to eliminate wasteful spending, create jobs, and balance the federal budget without raising taxes. He has challenged Republicans in the 111th Congress to be not just the party of “opposition,” but the party of better solutions to the challenges facing the American people. Under the new House GOP leadership team John leads, House Republicans have formed “solutions groups” to develop principled alternatives on the issues that matter most to American families and small businesses, and launched the GOP State Solutions project, an initiative aimed at bringing reform-minded Republicans at the state and federal levels together to promote common-sense solutions from outside the Beltway.
