THE PRESIDENT: Believe me — believe me, the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting. (Laughter.) I promise you. Not just on immigration reform. (Laughter.) But that’s not how — that’s not how our system works.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Change it!
THE PRESIDENT: That’s not how our democracy functions. That’s not how our Constitution is written.
Remarks by the President to the National Council of La Raza | The White House
He swore to uphold the Constitution. Impeach him.
If we still had constitutional government, Obama might be impeached.
And then we would get Bidden for ten years, probably with Hiltlery Clinton as VP.
Bidden makes Obummer unimpeachable and no doubt that is why he was made VP in the first place.
I wish we could go back to the old system where the first place winner is the president and second place was VP so impeaching was something that actually worked.
Actually a world class idiot who governs by poll numbers, under a republican congress hasn’t been the worst thing in the world…. Not that I want to experience it again, but still…
You’re thinking of Clinton, I presume? But I don’t think Bill Clinton is a world class idiot. He’s a sleazebag, a chronic liar, and a serial rapist, but he’s no idiot. The current Choomganger In Chief, under a Republican Congress, will probably be much worse than Clinton was in similar circumstances.
Clinton shined under those circumstances. He knew how to play the middle. But Obama? He still is trying to read the rules.
I tend to agree with Brandon Smith, “It all boils down to a battle for your soul.”

Would it make any difference . As long as the Unconstitutional Federal Reserve rules the US We The People have no vote.
It was created on December 23, 1913, with the enactment of the Federal Reserve Act,
December 23, 1913, while most of Congress was on Christmas break .
https://jhaines6.wordpress.com/2013/12/23/the-federal-reserve-act-is-expiring-this-december-23-2013/
‘The Congress shall have Power To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures’
‘The U.S. Congress established three key objectives for monetary policy in the Federal Reserve Act: Maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates.’
They did a great job in those 100 + 1 years.
If a politicians mouth id moving he is lying.
This is all the Republicans fault. Their Jimmy Carter’est approach invites all comers to play them like fiddles….
Oh I get it yes you are right ,yup if they had not taken over the senate , Obumba would not have had to make a power play. Good conclusion
Let’s trade him to ISIS for a 5th-round draft pick and a president to be named later.
But then you’d have to pay someone to take Biden. I suppose then we could just send Boehner back down to the minors. Even still, how many will we have to unload to get to Cruz?
I’m sure we could take up a nation-wide collection and be able to pay someone (North Korea?) VERY handsomely to take Slow Joe off our hands. Hell, we could probably even pull in enough scratch to send the entire National Socialist Democratic Party to the remotest reaches of the Gobi Desert. (The ChiComs may be ChiComs, but they won’t turn down that kind of hard currency, even if they have to hold their noses while doing it and take a long, hot shower after doing it.)
There aren’t 67 votes in the Senate to convict El Jefe on a bill of impeachment that comes from the House, so a waste of time, right now anyway.
There may be adequate power in the House and Senate to actually force some uncovering (appointed special prosecutors) that could lead to exposure and proof of dark deeds.
Impeach him? IMPEACH HIM? How about taking him out of our house in handcuffs?
Oh, I forgot. There’s no one in the Republican party or the military with a set of balls.
Never mind.
Obama is establishing powers future republicans can make use of. Both teams understand what is being accomplished for their mutual benefit.
Yes it is all a dog and pony show. When have we ever seen Congress actually repeal a rotten law? The Federal Reserve Act, The Patriot Act….
Any actual changes are ALWAYS in favor of the Moneyed Elite.
After the bankers created a financial mess to push Congress into dealing with the matter. Congress had the intention of coming up with a bill that would break the grip of the money trust. Seven men representing each branch of the money trust met in secret on Jekyll Island to form the Federal Reserve Act. One was Republican Senator Aldrich who later married into the Rockefeller dynasty. Why the secrecy? The answer is provided by Vanderlip himself. He said: “If it were to be exposed publicly that our particular group had gotten together and written a banking bill, that bill would have no chance whatever of passage by Congress.” So we were Grubered 100 years ago by the international bankers and have been serfs of the bankers ever since.
If you don’t like Griffin there is Republican Congressman Louis T. McFadden speeches before Congress or Democrat Congressman Wright Patman’s “A Primer on Money” as Chairman of Committee on Banking and Currency.
Also look at the actual congressional testimony before the U.S. Senate (Speaking before the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations) on February 17, 1950 by by James Paul Warburg, the son of Paul Warburg. James Paul Warburg was a member of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s original “brain trust,” as his financial adviser. – Phoenix Rising: The Rise and Fall of the American Republic
“We will have a world government whether you like it or not. The only question is whether that government will be achieved by conquest or consent.” aka Socialism or Communism.
“As an Aside it may be noted that Paul Warburg was also a director of the American IG Chemical Corp. the American subsidary of IG Farben in Germany. IG Farben was prominent in bringing Hitler to Power in 1933 and manufactured the Zyklon-B gas used in Nazi concencentration camps. Warburg was a founding member of the Carl Schutz Memorial Foundation, a propaganda organization established in 1930, a director of the prestigious Council on Foreign Relations, Inc and a trustee of the the Brookings Institution.” – pg 93 Wall Street and FDR By Antony C. Sutton
A last bit of evidence is the cartoon by Cartoonist Robert Minor a member of the Communist Party.

Before creation of the Federal Reserve, the money supply was controlled by the Treasury Department, which is under the direction of the President. A question I like to ask people who call for the abolition of the Fed is: would they like for Presidents to have direct ability to pump up the money supply as part of their reelection campaigns?
It would amount to a radical secession of power to the Executive Branch, another step to converting our imperial President to Emperor. Can you imagine what someone like Obama would do to the money supply, to try to get himself re-elected?
Note that the American economy had far worse boom-bust cycles when the Treasury Dept. (under the thumb of the President) was in charge of managing the money supply, before the creation of an independent Federal Reserve system. We had 6(!!) depressions and “panics” in the 19th century, but we’ve now been >70 years without a full-blown depression. That’s a remarkable improvement.
BTW, that Patman 1964 Primer On Money link didn’t work, but I found a copy of it here. (Unfortunately, it’s a non-OCR’d PDF.)
Some “primer” — it’s 135 pages! My own modest primer on money is a lot shorter & simpler.
Dave,
The Constitution specifically state gold and silver coin for that very reason. The Founders had already had to deal with the fractional reserve system of money inflation and wanted to get away from it.
“History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and it’s issuance.” – James Madison
However the something for nothing characteristic of the fractional reserve system has been very attractive and the history of the USA has been the history of a battle against those who wanted a central bank and the fractional reserve system.
It is an evil that will continue to be with the human race.
You admit to what you see. Perhaps you should see this, too:
http://www.amazon.com/American-Betrayal-Assault-Nations-Character/dp/0312630786/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1351518327&sr=8-1&keywords=American+Betrayal
Why do you think one of Obama’s moves was to fire all the competent military leaders?
Why has Obama Fired 197 US Senior Military Commanders in 5 years? (nine Generals in 2013)
I think we already know the answer to that question. As a would be dictator the first thing I would do if I could would be to geld the Military.
Then we have the DHS who is more under Obummer’s control arming itself.
1.6 Billion Rounds Of Ammo For Homeland Security? – 1.6 billion rounds would be enough to sustain a hot war for 20+ years. In America. “As reported elsewhere, some of this purchase order is for hollow-point rounds, forbidden by international law for use in war, along with a frightening amount specialized for snipers….”
A power systems engineer at WUWT said a couple years ago, “Letting non-professionals get involved in the power grid is like giving the keys to the family car and a bottle of whiskey to a 14 year old boy and his pals. If the renewables were viable, we’d adopt them by the train-load and build them so fast your head would spin.”
Given the KNOWN general incompetence of bureaucrats and the EPA actions so far, Obama’s ‘War on Coal’ is probably more about crashing the US power grid than it ever was about saving Gaia.
Consider:
The 1977 New York City blackout lasting 25 hours resulted in looting and arson throughout the city in contrast to the ‘well mannered’ 1965 blackout. There were 1,037 fires, 550 police officers were injured and 4,500 looters were arrested. Now extend that to days or weeks and the militarization of America’s police forces and the February 2008 Canada-U.S. pact allowing cross-border military activity ‘which allows the military from one nation to support the armed forces of the other nation in a civil emergency’ – all of a sudden becomes understandable. Then you can add in A series of recent military exercises in major cities including Miami and Houston have alarmed residents and even local officials, many of whom were reportedly unaware that the drills would be taking place in their jurisdictions. (Friday, 01 February 2013)
You do not have to wear a tinfoil hat to be a bit uneasy about these facts but anyone who links them is called a ‘conspiracy nut.’ and no one one in the media or more important in Congress shows any sign of linking them.
Hey Gail! “Given the KNOWN general incompetence of bureaucrats and the EPA actions so far, Obama’s ‘War on Coal’ is probably more about crashing the US power grid than it ever was about saving Gaia. ”
Another reason for getting rid of coal is that it makes the cities more “controllable” by The Powers That Be. Coal can be stockpiled. A coal fired generating plant for a city may have anywhere from weeks to months of coal supply on hand. On the other hand, a gas fired plant will shut down immediately if you send a command to shut the pipeline.
Oh and add in Obama’s stirring of the racial pot and hatred of the police.
It’s not “all the competent military leaders” that Obama has fired. Only about 15-20% of those officers are generals and admirals. There are nearly a thousand generals and admirals in the U.S. military. So Obama will have to fire a lot more than 30 or 40 to make much of a dent.
As for the ammo, most of those bullets haven’t been bought yet, they are just contracts with options to buy over a half-decade or so. They are to supply training needs for both DHS/DOJ and ICE (Immigration & Customs Enforcement):
http://news.msn.com/politics/homeland-security-wants-bullets-16-billion-of-them
So why the heck the order for hollow points?
FiveThree years is a short time and pretty much coincides with the possible collapse of the US power grid at least in the east.From the same article:
About all the rest of the top dogs in the US military – remember what has happened to scientists with regards to CAGW. You either shut your mouth or get fired. Fire a few and the rest get the message. Toe the line or get tossed.
Also I suggest you read the DOD’s new training manual, AFSS 0910 EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND TREATMENT INCIDENTS (EOTI) LESSON PLAN
The whole document was obtained by Judicial Watch via FOIA.
http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-defense-department-teaching-documents-suggest-mainstream-conservative-views-extremist/
National pride and patriotism are now taught as BAD by our own military? WTF!
One commenter here a while ago mentioned reference to US documents like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution is now actively discouraged in the armed forces.
…..
Back to power generation
It is the combination of the domestic policing force build up AND the attack on the US electric grid that is worrying.
The report I was going to link showing the timing of closures going out to 2040 has been updated and nothing got better. ( For actual timing see: NEW POWER PLANT RETIREMENT LIST ) The expected closures first reported by Institute for Energy Research.org have about tripled and that number was already triple the EPA’s. Therefore at present the number is 7.5 times as much loss as the capacity loss predicted by the EPA and that is mostly on the Eastern Seaboard. Link containing a people friendly map The map uses increasing size circles to indicate the amount of energy lost in each location.
Also NIMBY anti pipeline and anti-fracking activists are preventing the expected increase in natural gas supplies to power plant sites.
According to EPA, their modeling of Utility MACT and CSAPR indicates that these regulations will only shutter 9.5 GW of electricity generation capacity.….
Dave, I much rather be spending my retirement touring all the national parks here in the USA instead of looking at the crap Obama is tossing at us. Unfortunately adding up odd bits and pieces is a well honed gift I used at a variety of chemical plants to solve problems. I even predicted the shut down of a plant to a friend in HR a year before the actual shutdown. I did so on the day the top brass at the plant had received the notice from HQ in confidence and they went nuts trying to find the ‘leak’ (snicker)
So here is the OLD 2012 map. As a resident in NC hopefully it will give you a reason to think about being prepared.
http://instituteforenergyresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/CoalRetirementsMap.png
What Obama & Co are doing to America’s energy infrastructure should be an impeachable offence. Thanks for the valuable links.
About 50 hours ago I was driving through rural Greene Co., NC, and happened upon a “solar farm,” and took some pictures:
http://burtonsys.com/climate/Greene_Co_NC_solar_farm/
This is what’s conspicuously missing from those photographs:
http://www.burtonsys.com/climate/What-is-a-Transformer-6_10pct.jpg
There are acres of solar PV panels there, but not much wiring. There are a few tiny transformers on poles, like you’d see serving a very small neighborhood, that’s all.
This sort of installation doesn’t qualify as a power plant in the real world. But I’ll bet it “generated” a whale of a lot of tax credits.
As long as people are totally satisfied with the current dog and pony shows…
And the bankers continue to own the Mass Media that convinces the people we have a two party system and an actual choice… Oh look a squirrel!
And our education system continues to be run by the Fabians Useful Idiots intent on Dumbing Down America.
………….
John Dewey was a founding member of the American Fabian Society and Father of the ‘Progressive Education’ that our schools suffer from today. ‘Progressive Education’ is about brainwashing children into being good little socialists and not educating independent intellectuals and entrepreneurs. It is doing a great job of it too.
This is what we are seeing today and why I say US politics is nothing but a dog and pony show, a circus act to dazzle the masses. It is why I keep pointing at the Fabian Society. Without the money and support of the wealthy elite ‘Socialism’ would have fallen flat on its face a century ago, the Bolshevik Revolution would never have happened and with luck Russia would have been a free republic patterned after the old USA instead of a twisted sick perversion of ‘democracy’
“Part of the strategy of the Fabian Society for gaining power gradually was infiltration and replacement. It sought allies in the universities, Churches, and newspapers, trained speakers, writers, and politicians, and indoctrinated young scholars who would eventually infiltrate educational institutions, government agencies, and political parties to promote Fabian socialism.” – The Socialist-Capitalist Alliance: the Fabian Society, the Frankfurt School, and Big Business: Part One
To continue:
Gail Combs wrote previously that “reference to US documents like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution is now actively discouraged in the armed forces.” I don’t understand how reference to the Constitution can be discouraged with good faith by anyone in the military. Doesn’t the military take an oath which includes ” I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;” How can they support and defend something that they are actively discouraged from reference to? Any in the military that discourage reference to these are NOT acting in good faith.
What if the greatest threat to the Constitution happens to be the holder of the office of President himself? I guess I can understand why our Veterans are now considered to be potential terrorists or worse by DHS, as shameful as that should be to those who made such a ridiculous determination.
Neal, I could not remember if it was the Constitution or the Declaration but I think it was the declaration. There is no oath about that document so the America haters would see it as fair game just like they call the Founding Fathers ‘Extremists’
They will not impeach him. As feckless as Obama is, the opposition is cowardly.
The ‘opposition’ is just as owned by the bankers as Obama’s loyal followers. Sen. Dick Durbin (D) “And the banks — hard to believe in a time when we’re facing a banking crisis that many of the banks created — are still the most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill. And they frankly own the place.”
I’d forget the immigration issue even GOP is divided…. after all nearly 50% of the USA is now latino LOL The real issue AGW is the one where not one inch should be given. EPA needs to be closed down or most of its gov appointent staff fired ect.
The immigration issue is actually a threat to the blacks and the unions. Around here the Hispanics have displaced many of the highly paid unionized construction jobs. They also take the minimum wage jobs displacing the people without or even with high school diplomas.
Many of my customers are Hispanic and I have talked politics with them for the last couple of years. They are not as politically naive as blacks and are well versed in corrupt government. They will not be as easy a target as the blacks.
An additional thought. Many illegals are paid under the table so no taxes are collected on their wages. So amnesty means not the jump in wages Obama is talking but a jump in TAXES for the government.
For a yearly wage of $20,000 (Single person in NC)
Fed tax = $1,024
Soc Security = $1,633
Medicare = $536
North Carolina = $1,400 (7%)
Total tax is $4,593 out of that $20,000 so it is the equivalent of $15,000 paid under the table. The minimum wage of $7.25 per hour is also $15,000 per year.) Around here you can’t find anyone who will work for under $10 an hour. McDonald’s pay starts ~ $8.00/hour.
I think you can see why the government wants undocumented workers added to the tax roll.
The government considers $11,945 as poverty level.
YOu actually have to double the SS tax. The employer must then pay it which does impact the money he has available to pay the illegal. So while the illegal may not see that extra $1600, it is still a cost of employing him.
