Why is this 0bama’s decision? Why doesn’t congress just approve it?

I realize that I am old and behind the times and that there is apparently a new concept of ethical behavior, BUT:

If you are a politician and I give you big bucks just because you are my kind of guy and believe in the same things I believe in; that is a political contribution.

On the other hand, if I give you money only on the condition that you pass a certain law or stop the passage of a certain law, and I make it very clear that this is the only way you will ever see the money....

That is a clear case of Quid Pro Quo and politicians have been put in prison for that.

So where is the outcry?

Where are the feds?

He won’t just kill it either. He has to keep it on life support to keep milking the bribes from both sides. He’s operating much like Turkey did in the 1800’s.

Obama has never figured out that business, not government, is the heart of the economy.

Gotta disagree with you Larry.

nobama has it figured out. He's working hard every day to insure business and government trade positions.

> For as long as he’s been in the Oval Office, Obama rarely has had anything good to say about business. Instead he talks about inequality, redistribution, taxing the rich, and reregulation. Remember “you didn’t build that business”? That sums him up right there.

Funny I don’t remember him or the government:

Taking the written and oral tests, writing the white paper, appearing before the review board
Registering the busness
Paying the licensing fees or continuing education training fees every year
Paying the income taxes
Paying business property taxes
Paying for the resources that I need to do my job
Oing the actual work which varies from 10 - 16 hours a day depending on the assignment at hand
Writing the reports
Paying for the expenses or other administration fees that are incurred

NO Obama you are a damn liar. You didn’t do ANY of that. All the government did in ALL of those instances was collect the fees and require that I pay them to have YOUR authorization to operate.

How much is Obama and the Chicago cabal getting from OPEC?

Restricting oil & gas production keeps prices high, which fuels terrorism against U.S.
