Obama shifts FBI from Counter Terrorism to Fraud
The Intellectual Redneck | February 11, 2009 | The Intellectual Redneck

Posted on 02/11/2009 3:38:47 PM PST by Askwhy5times

President Obama is shifting the focus of the FBI from counter terrorism work to fraud. This is in response to a backlog of 530 active corporate fraud investigations. I am all for investigation fraud. Perhaps, Obama could have them look into how he got such a sweetheart deal on his house in Chicago. He should look into all those high profile Democrats that seem to avoid paying their fair share of the tax burden. Of course, He will never do that. Instead, they will look into the cases that have come to light as a result of the economic meltdown. I am all for doing that. Banking criminals should got to jail just the same as other criminals. However, I don't want to shift the focus from counter terrorism. Our safety is first. Barack Obama should have had the Democrats drop some of the pork from the stimulus bill and pay for overtime for FBI agents to look into fraud. Just cutting the $50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts would have paid for a lot of fraud investigation. Instead, President Obama is sacrificing our national safety. This shows where his priorities are placed.

Don’t worry. This increases the likelyhood that more terrorist attacks and Democrat perp walks will occur under Obama’s watch.

This jerk and his conspirators in DC are ruining this country.

They are going to get thousands of innocent folks killed and bring our country to it’s knees.

Seriously, I don’t doubt he is stupid enough to do this, but I need to see the source material. Thanks.”

Any attack on American soil will leave blood on the hands of the Liberal God, Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the Liberal gutter scum within the US Congress.

For an evil political leader to secure his police, power, and enforcement apparatus is not without precedent.

Night of the Long Knives

Obama moves much faster than Hitler did.

Hitler has risen from the ashes as has the Gestapo.
