I’m afraid he ‘s going to be like Clinton’s Billy Dale: the outrage ignored by the media.

In the world of the 0Bamaide drinkers; up is down, black is white, night is day, and the truth is whatever the great leaders says it is.

In the last days, the wrong will be considered right and the right will be considered wrong - according to Scripture.

see IG Walpin’s Report and tell me who has the courage.

He graduated from Brown University in 1985 and, like Obama, took three years off to work as a community organizer before going to Harvard Law School, where he met Obama.(3) After graduating from law school, Eisen took a job in Washington with Zuckerman Spaeder, a large, national law firm. He worked there for the next 17 years, handling white-collar and Congressional investigations for the firm and eventually becoming a partner.(4)

He spent much of his career serving as outside counsel to government clients, and he co-founded Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW).(5) Eisen and Louis Mayberg approached Melanie Sloan in 2003 about starting the progressive government watchdog group, but he did not run the day-to-day operations.(6)

‘Working well with AmeriCorps’ requires more than just a blind eye.

The longer they play out this game...the more likely that massive cuts will come to AmeriCorps once a shift in the house or senate occurs (2010 elections). This is the one thing you should never do...if you care about your budget...is to do something this stupid and gain public attention. The sad thing is that seventy percent of what AmeriCorps does...might be worth the money. But the rest of this is fluff-money, and corrupting a bunch of political figures.

Read up on the Cloward - Piven Strategy. Overloading everyone with impossible demands is one of the core principles. The goal is to make everything fall apart so the Progressives can sweep in and take over.

Pretty good description. Either Obama is very skillful at this tactic, or the people are very gullible, or both.

You didn’t just hear about it, it is fact.
