   Good week   
   20 Apr 11 00:23:24   
   
    ...   
      
    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?
