Biden Earned $21,000 Last Year From the Secret Service.......

However...THEY want all of US to pay OUR "Fair Share"...when do they??? Their behavior is staring to resemble Rulers....not Leaders. 

 No, he’s not moonlighting as an agent.

Vice President Joe Biden last year earned $20,900 in rental income from the Secret Service, which is paying him to host agents on his property so they can protect him.

Most high-profile people in need of protection pay people to keep them safe. Government officials are allowed to have taxpayers pick up the tab. Biden is unique in that he actually gets paid by his bodyguards for the right to protect him.

Tax refunds being used to pay for bankruptcy filings ....

But the economy is fine.....robust.....growing.....yeah....RIGHT.....

The NBER research confirms what bankruptcy lawyers have long known: At the first part of the year, when Americans receive their tax refunds, there almost always is a spike in personal bankruptcy filings.

Mitt Romney warns NRA against an 'unrestrained' second-term Obama.......

Although gun control groups have complained that Obama has done little to support their cause, Romney took a page from the NRA leadership, which has been saying that the president is waiting for a second term to crack down on firearms. He warned that Obama would “remake” the Supreme Court in a second term, threatening constitutional freedoms.

Obamas' 2011 Federal Tax Bill: $162,000 ......

 President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, paid $162,000 in federal income taxes in 2011 on $845,000 in total income, according to tax returns released just ahead of the national income-tax-filing deadline.

The president's effective tax rate was 19%, compared with an effective tax rate of 14% for 2010 for the probable Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney. The campaign hasn't released Mr. Romney's 2011 tax return.

Who foots bill when Obama travels? ....Take a wild guess.....

While Mr. Obama can rely on Air Force One and other military aircraft at his disposal for official business, federal election laws require his campaign to pay for these presidential perquisites at just a fraction of the cost — the equivalent of a commercial airline ticket — whenever he or other administration officials are using federal government resources for political activity.

MUST WATCH: Santelli Crushes 'Buffett Rule'

"You know what, how are my kid’s opportunities affected by how many millionaires there are? I don’t see that their opportunities are affected! You know what I see that’s going to affect their opportunities? 15.6 Trillion!"

Reliance Group Bails Out Obama Allies at Dreamworks

Part of it is likely the fact that Spielberg and Geffen are both close with the Obama administration. The Reliance Group has dealt with the Obama administration in questionable ways. In June 2010, the Export-Import Bank of the United States rejected a loan guarantee to Reliance to buy $600 million worth of equipment due to environmental concerns. When Democrats complained that 1,000 jobs would die if the deal didn’t happen, the Obama administration stepped in – and suddenly, the Bank gave the loan, with the condition that Reliance promised to build an enormous renewable project in India.

Taxpayers Set to Lose $30 Billion on the Auto Bailout.....

Do we get this reported ANYWHERE. Lord doesn't America yearn for a REAL Reporter? Just ONE. Someone with a moral compass, able to report the ENTIRE picture. Both sides...every side - intelligently. With honor... without an agenda other than doing their job RIGHT. 
Is there anyone out there? 
I hear cricket's chirping when it's bad news for Obama......Bull Horns when it's bad news for the Republicans.....and hordes of lazy American's living and deciding by soundbite.

But that’s a fudge-y number.

Right now, we’re actually losing nearly $15 billion on our shares. On a stock that dropped by a third just after the bailout, and has basically flatlined ever since.

So that ups the auto bailout loss to about $30 billion. At least.

On ‘Romneycare’ Birthday, Video Traces Ties to ‘Obamacare’ .....

Romneycare does NOT work. It is a hidden joke. Propped up by Washington money.
Mitt says it "isn't" in it's final form what he proposed, yet he doubles down on how "great" it is. Come to my house....come to my Company. I'll show you how great it isn't.

The Obama campaign is marking the six-year anniversary of Mitt Romney’s Massachusetts health care law with a new mini-documentary that traces its path from “model for the nation” to Republicans’ enemy number one.

The three-minute video features key figures who helped craft “Romneycare” and appeared in public with then-Gov. Romney as he heralded passage of the landmark law in 2006.

The Oval episode 1: “The Imperial City” – Glenn Beck

I don't care what you think of Glenn beck....what he is doing here is important. 
We NEED to be reminded how wonderful our Country is. Our Leaders.....right...aren't doing it any longer. They seem only capable of pulling our country down. 
They attack our industry, our history, our military...our very way of life. 
And it isn't an attack from a foreign entity...it's from within. Our own Government. 
Do I think there is a fundamental change being instituted in our country right now...I do. It's been coming for a LONG time....and it came at us with eyes wide open. 
But now, for perhaps the first time in 100 years...our eyes ARE wide open. We're seeing what is happening.....the sleeping giant is waking. 
We MUST wake it up fully. 
We MUST take our land back. 
We MUST go back to the principals set forth in our magnificent Constitution and Declaration. 
Take the time and listen to this. I don't always agree with Glenn...but here I do. 
America isn't perfect....but in today's world...it's the damn closest thing....and it's slipping away like sand through our fingers.

My fellow Americans, today we are going to try something new.

I am going to sit here and say what we all know is true… but which everyone is afraid to say.

I am going to talk about what made this country is great… but why it is risking its greatness.

This is what our leaders should be doing. This is what our leaders are paid to do. This is why we give them advisers… and airplanes to travel the world… and beautiful offices, just like this one.

But they don’t do it. They won’t do it.

So I will.

Hilary Rosen, Democratic Strategist Attacks Mitt Romney’s Wife ...."Never worked a day in her life"......REALLY?

Can you IMAGINE if a Republican said this about a Democratic woman? I can.....however...regardless of what the "drive by" media's reaction would be...it being said would be just as vile.
I chose not to have kids...one of the reasons is because I didn't think I had the strength it takes to raise children. The inner fortitude it takes to raise a child - children each and every day...it  takes an inner strength many of us can't fathom. To say raising 5 beautiful, successful children as never working a day in her life? This from an Administration that manufactured the "War on Woman"...who took the first shot now...?
From an Administration that will FIGHT for abortion, but laugh at the Family structure. REALLY?

Imagine the outrage if a Republican strategist referred to a stay-at-home mom by saying that she was someone who “never worked a day in her life.” How about a mother of five?

A Republican strategist did not say that. But a Democrat did… and it was a female, Democrat strategist.

During an appearance on Anderson Cooper’s “AC360” last night, Democratic strategist and CNN regular Hilary Rosen said something similar about Mitt Romney’s wife Ann when she told Anderson:

Big government, big business, big profits ........small company....not so much......

It is literally like a desert out here for Small Business...I know....we're one. 
Yet....if you keeps your wits about you....have friends and family to lean on...you'll survive. 
However...We didn't go into business to just "survive"...my plan was to THRIVE. This Administration does everything it can to insure that NEVER happens. We were discussing on the way in today...you know...at the butt crack of dawn...that if ALL the stimulus money and government prop up money was removed entirely from the US economy...the thud you'd hear would cause a Tsunami across Europe it would be so powerful...

Meanwhile new business formation is at a 30-year low. These two dynamics are both fruits from the same tree. That is, increased corporatism -- more regulation, more subsidies -- helps big, established, politically connected businesses, while preventing new entrants and killing small business.

Biden: Al Franken is a 'leading legal scholar' .....

Blew coffee out my nose when I saw this headline.....

Vice President Joe Biden described former Saturday Night Live comedian, Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., as a "leading legal scholar," presumably in the Senate, today.

"He has been one of the leading legal scholars," Biden said of Franken today, according to the pool report. He also said that Franken "is deadly serious" as a senator. He made the comments while recalling concerns that then-candidate Franken could not be taken seriously as a Senate candidate given his SNL work.

Prosecutor to announce Zimmerman charges; Twitter vigilantes gloat over ‘dead man walking’ ......

Ahhhhh.....more left wing civility.....

With this afternoon’s news that George Zimmerman will likely be charged, many on Twitter predicted and/or celebrated the possibility that someone will physically harm Zimmerman while he is in prison:

Paying their fair share -- In Three Charts ......

The Buffett Tax, because it won't raise revenue, should be understood mostly as Election-Year demagoguery. And like most demagoguery, it is not well grounded in facts.

The basic argument is that the rich don't pay their fair share in taxes. Rather than data, President Obama relies on anecdote -- that Warren Buffett supposedly pays taxes at a lower rate than his secretary does. Let me present some data to the contrary.

Astronauts condemn NASA’s global warming endorsement.........

In an unprecedented slap at NASA’s endorsement of global warming science, nearly 50 former astronauts and scientists--including the ex-boss of the Johnson Space Center--claim the agency is on the wrong side of science and must change course or ruin the reputation of the world’s top space agency.

America's Debt Is Greater than Entire Eurozone's (and U.K.'s) Combined Debt ......

Nice....................

As the chart shows, America's debt is currently $15.1 trillion, while the Eurozone (which includes France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain, the U.K., and others) has a combined debt of $12.7 trillion. (All dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars, and the data refers to closing 2011 numbers.)

Obama speeches ‘exactly same’ a year apart...Hilarious...if it weren't so sad.....

When it comes to politicians, they often say the same thing over and over.

That statement is taken to a new level when comparing budget speeches from President Obama, one from 2011 and one from 2012.

The Republican National Committee has produced a video showing separate speeches a year apart from Obama talking about financial issues.

Can government do anything well?

I’m suspicious of superstitions, like astrology or the belief that “green jobs will fix the environment and the economy.” I understand the appeal of such beliefs. People crave simple answers and want to believe that some higher power determines our fates.

The most socially destructive superstition of all is the intuitively appealing belief that problems are best solved by government.

Opinion polls suggest that Americans are dissatisfied with government. Yet whenever another crisis hits, the natural human instinct is to say, “Why doesn’t the government do something?”
