I've been waiting for this information for months. Most on the Right have suspected foul play by the President and his operatives. Now, Congressman Issa Republican from California finally has the goods on our President and his illegal activities with taxpayer dollars.
CONGRESSMAN DARRELL ISSA GETS RESULTS!!

Congressman Darrell Issa has produced a shocking new report detailing the Obama administration’s extensive use of taxpayer-funded propaganda, which he says breaks federal law. The report created for the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform details how the former Alinskyite community organizer has channeled the resources of the federal government — that is, your money — to create “a sophisticated propaganda and lobbying campaign” made up of “inappropriate and sometimes unlawful public relations and propaganda initiatives.”
The highlights include:
Using federal arts grants to spread Obama’s legislative message. Last August 10, administration officials held a conference call with National Endowment of the Arts grant recipients. Buffy Wicks, a college radical who worked in Valerie Jarrett‘s Office of Public Engagement, told the invitees, “we’re going to come at you with some specific ‘asks’ here,” specifically supporting Obama’s initiatives on health care, the environment, or energy. She suggested, “We wanted folks to connect…with federal agencies, with labor unions, progressive groups, face groups [faith groups, perhaps?], women’s groups, you name it.”
Within 48 hours, no fewer than 21 arts organizations released a statement endorsing ObamaCare.
The Dept. of Health and Human Services paid MIT economist Jonathan Gruber nearly $400,000 for various jobs. He did not disclose his employment by HHS while writing a string of op-eds, nor while testifying before the Senate in favor of, ObamaCare.
The Justice Dept. hired Tracy Russo, the former blogger for John Edwards, to comment on internet articles or bulletin board messages that criticized Barack Obama and his agenda. She did this anonymously or used a pen name. A Dept. of Education officer used the White House email to send his colleagues eight bullet points to “communicate the merits of the President’s proposal with your members and their audiences.” The federal government “highly recommended” constructing highway signs that tout big government and advertise politicians (Watch the committee’s video on the subject here http://www.impeachobamacampaign.com/video-of-the-day-you-pay-for-possibly-illegal-obama-propaganda/ ) Obama attempted to enlist “voluntary” Hollywood propaganda for his proposals through the iParticipate campaign.

Andy Griffith starred in a Medicare “update” that doubled as a commercial for Obama’s health care legislation. Not only is the PSAl propaganda, it is erroneous. A writer with the nonpartisan FactCheck.org remarked Griffith’s scripted “promise that ‘benefits will remain the same’ is just as fictional as the town of Mayberry.”
The White House routinely drove traffic to websites that lobby for Obama’s legislation.
You can read the full report here.
Issa cites three separate federal statutes violated by the Obama administration and has called for a Government Accountability Office (GAO) to launch an investigation. If violations of the law are found, impeachment could follow.
It’s not bad enough the president is a megalomaniac who skirts the law to foist his far-Left agenda on the American people — he also uses your money to do it.

I hope you are not holding your breath waiting for the impeachment.
Obama could be caught in bed with a Koran, a live boy, and a dead girl...the GOP still wouldn’t have the cajones to impeach him. And there’s no way a Dim-controlled Senate would permit it to happen either.
The house doesn’t have the stomach to impeach this close to election season and the senate would never convict.
The best you can hope for is to use this to convince a Dem to primary 0bama. But they won’t. They march lockstep, like they always do. They jettisoned Weiner as a token scapegoat. They’ll stand by their man.
Or nail him for engaging in murder.
Ok, what if the dead girl was beheaded
What always brings them down is mail fraud and wire fraud.
He used the power of the federal government to steal two of the largest companies in the United States from their rightful owners, the creditors, and give them to the unions and the feds. Barely a whisper from the GOP. No chance they impeach two democrat presidents in a row and if they did it would be a greater failure than last time.
Unfortunately he can have all the evidence he wants. He still has a senate firmly In Obammy’s pocket and that includes a few republicans.

You took the words right off of my keyboard.
Mitchell Deere in John Grisham's The Firm, on charging Bendini, Lambert & Locke with mail fraud: "It's not much, but it has teeth."
Not going to hold my breath. The Congress refused to impeach Bill Clinton for lying to a grand jury. While the paying for propaganda charges may be real, and illegal, the response from the left will be the same as their approach to Clinton’s investigation. They will demonize Darrell Issa the way they demonized Ken Starr and the press will play along. Instead of the drumbeat of “This is just about sex” it will be “This is just about art and blogging. And nobody listens to those guys anyway. No big deal.”
to be more accurate that should be “...impeach/convict Bill Clinton...”
There is no one on either side of the aisle that will have the evidence or the will to use it to rid ourselves of this president. No one is mounting an attack, and the Republicans will not pursue this because it is politically risky and just plain hard work. The lesson of the last several years is that the President can do whatever he pleases and nothing serious will happen to him.
Impeaching doesn’t matter. You need 67 votes in the Senate to convict. There are 47 Republican votes. Please list the 20 Democrat Senators that will vote to convict.
to be precise, the House did impeach Clinton
but the Senate didn’t convict. their trial was mushy.
peace out.
