OMG! What a picture!

Thanks for posting it, Joe....I owe you uno Mojito frio!

It's hard to tell whether Obama is on his way to his immaculation or to his coffin in the catacombs where he has to lie dormant between sunrise and sunset.

Read my tag line ... I have nothing to base that on ... but I have a REAL hard time thinkin' NO ONE in our government is seriously pursuing this bastard.

There HAS to be SOMEthing that someone knows that will be locked up for 50 years before what's left of America will be allowed to see the evidence.

How does an American president get away with the blatant and overt usurption of the will of the people like ozero ?

Anyway ... if all of what we know to be fact, coupled with all the conjecture can accomplish nothing, I profer the oath has to be amiss somehow.

July 19, 2011 (CHICAGO) (WLS) — Students, children and families are preparing to join Congressman Luis Gutierrez and delegations from throughout the nation in Washington, D.C.

On July 26 they will make a final appeal to the White House to stop the deportations and separations of families. They want to urge President Barack Obama to use his discretionary power to stop the deportation of the parents of U.S. citizen children who have no criminal convictions.

The group is preparing for a face-off at the White House on deportations and separation of families. “We want the president to use the power that the Latino community gave him in the vote to use his executive authority to stop the deportation and separation of families,” said activist Walter Coleman.

The group says they recognize the current political deadlock in Congress means no meaningful immigration reform can be passed. They say the president has broken his promise to them and they do not understand the president’s discretionary choice to deport 400,000 people a year.

“We’re preparing to go to Washington to send a clear message to President Obama that he does not have the Latino vote until he keeps his promise, “ said Emma Lozano of Lincoln United Methodist Church. “He should do what’s right. Otherwise we won’t vote for him.”

If he gets reelected he will destroy this country. He’s been holding back to assure his reelection - can you imagine what he will do if he has four more years?

In his speech/hissy fit last week he openly decried those who would put pledges or promises ahead of what he was demanding they do to address the Debt Ceiling issue.

So he's already ridiculed the keeping of promises or pledges so why would he care to keep any after he got elected?

If he did attempt to seize power the Press would totally support his action, even though it would make him the most treasonous person in American history.

I actually think he would do it.

It’s funny how Chairman Obama and his lib cronies forget this part of the 14th Amendment:

“Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.”

That means he can’t bypass Congress. Only Congress can settle the debt limit “crisis”. If our Dear Leader drags his feet, he can be impeached. If Commander Zer0 tries to bypass Congress, he can be impeached. If his henchmen try to encourage President Urkel to do so, they can be expelled from the Imperial Senate or the House.

"We understand. Dictators always feel this way Mr President. But you would have to get the military to go along with your coup and they won't support you"

Don't be so sure about that. There are quite a few generals and admirals are willing to play along to get along.

The mere fact that an American president even speaks to La Raza is troubling. La Raza is so radical that they have advocated capturing a good part of the Southwest and returning it to Mexico. (But no mention of what La Raza really is in the article, it just reports that they are "activist.")

The mere fact he wants to gut our Military is also troubling.

Heads up:

PIG BOOK OF CONGRESSIONAL SPENDING

Be sure to call your Senator today and stop this outrage, especially after you have read at least the highlights of the PIG BOOK of Congressional Spending.

La Raza’s plan is to use chain immigration to create foreign-born Hispanic majorities throughout the southwestern U.S. and then reclaim the entire region for Mexico. Obama has every intention of helping them.

It is more troubling that this Marxist demagogue, who vowed to change America, is an American President!

OBama’s instincts are: (1) short term and (2) totalitarian.

Truly a scary and irresponsible person.
