Obama has implied that anyone who disagrees with him about global warming is an enemy of the state. He says that all scientists agree that the planet is warming out of control, and that it is unacceptable to disagree with the scientists whom he chooses to listen to.

Besides the fact that he is violating almost every principle which he swore to uphold. and is threatening our democracy – he has no idea what he is talking about.

Obama believes that it is essential to falsely profile veterans, conservatives, gun owners, and Christians – but profiling other groups is absolutely not permitted.

At least 63 people have been killed and more than 180 wounded in a bomb attack in a Shia-dominated part of the south-western Pakistani city of Quetta.

The blast occurred in a crowded market place in an ethnic Hazara area of the city.

It is the second major attack on Quetta’s 600,000-strong Hazara community in five weeks.

A twin suicide bomb attack at a crowded snooker club on 10 January killed at least 92 people and wounded 121.

When Obama talks about closing loopholes for the rich. what he means is stealing money from the middle class to give to his rich supporters.

It hasn’t drawn much attention, but Facebook’s first annual earnings report contains an accounting gem: a multibillion-dollar tax deduction for the cost of executive stock options and share awards.

Even though Facebook (FB) reported $1.1 billion in pre-tax profits from U.S. operations in 2012, it will probably pay zero federal and state taxes—and even receive a federal tax refund of about $429 million—according to a Feb. 14 statement from Citizens for Tax Justice.

Obama campaign literature from 2008 :

The Problem  Increasing Debt:

Under President Bush, the federal debt has increased from $5.7 trillion to $8.8 trillion,  an increase of more than 50 percent.

In four years, Obama has nearly doubled the national debt.

Barack Obama and Joe Biden’s Record  

PAYGO: Obama voted in 2005, 2006, and 2007 to reinstate pay­as­you­go (PAYGO) federal budget rules.

He has overspent by nearly $8 trillion dollars.

Against Raising the Federal Debt Limit:

In 2006, Obama voted against misguided Republican efforts   to raise the statutory debt limit

He now attacks and threatens anyone who doesn’t agree to raise the debt limit.

The New York Times featured an article February 5, 2013 with the attention getting title “Warm Weather Forces Changes Ahead of Iditarod Race (Mary Pilon).”

Race Marshal Mark Nordman returned my phone call.  “Trail’s great, lots of snow, all the way to Nome.  In fact, we might have more than average on the south side of the Alaska Range (check out the Iditarod trail map and note Skwetna, Finger Lake, and Rainy Pass checkpoints).   The only place that could be short is by Rohn checkpoint, and that’s always a place with little snow.”
