       ...               SH> 2. The AP is punked by a group of hoaksters whose blog        SH> reported that GE would repay more than $3 billion in tax        SH> credits (corporate welfare) they got from the Obama        SH> administration. Not only did GE get tax credits for moving        SH> jobs offshore, CEO Jeff Immelt got a seat on Obama's jobs        SH> advisory panel.               Lie number 1. In the late '90s the republican congress passed a        bill allowing corporations, including GE, to avoid taxes by        shifting profits overseas. In 2004 the republican congress        passed another such tax dodge.               Obama didn't give GE those tax dodges, they were beyond his        control.               SH> 3. In a surprise move - out of left field, really - a        SH> democrat president proposes that the government raise taxes        SH> on the rich - rich to be defined by said governemt. Like        SH> the classless Clinton before him, Obama reminds us that he        SH> is rich.               And Obama's plan would increase taxes on Obama. Remember, 100%        of the post WWII increase in the debt burden, the debt as        percent of GDP, accumulated under 3 anti-tax republican        presidents.                      SH> 4. Seems that the most transparent presidency in history        SH> (that was his promise, right?) is concealing visits with        SH> lobbyists by meeting with them at a coffee shop across the        SH> street from the White House. White House visitors' logs               Obama is going to a coffee shop across the street from the        Whitehouse?               ...               SH> 5. American fighter jets are again dropping bombs on Libya        SH> - this after Obama told Americans that other countries        SH> would take over the Libya operation.               Nato did take over. And the US is a member of NATO. The US has        solid justification and a very good moral cause for taking down        Kadaffi.               SH> 6. Nancy Pelosi says, in effect, that it's too bad that we        SH> have elections, echoing Obama's sentiments that he wishes        SH> he had the powers of China's dictator. Didn't one of the        SH> moonbats here lose what passes for his mind when G.W. Bush        SH> expressed similar ideas?               And when did she ever say that? I sure hope he has a link to it.               Hope Hope Hope Hope Hope Hope Hope Hope Hope Hope Hope Hope               OTOH, when did Obama say that?               SH> 7. Indicating that he has heard the clarion call of the        SH> New Politics of Civility (Cigar Willy, co chair), Rep. Ed        SH> Markey says that Republicans want to destroy "the whole        SH> wide world," and, worse yet, that they want to destroy the        SH> internet.               Speaking the truth might well be uncivil.               SH> 8. People who attended the High Level Budget Summit at the        SH> Oval Office say that the one area where Obama would not        SH> compromise is federal funding for abortion.               People who attended the high level budget summit and lied about        it.               Federal funding for elective abortion is forbidden under        current law, and that law was not changed under Obama. Even        National Health Care is covered by that law.               SH> Like Cigar        SH> Willy before him, Obama will keep one promise - that is, he        SH> will continue to fund the killing of unborn babies under        SH> the guise of women's health - or is it women's reproductive        SH> freedom these days?               Lie number 2. Or is it lie number 3?              BOB KLAHN bob.klahn@sev.org http://home.toltbbs.com/bobklahn              ...
