A friend and I were away for the weekend and we left to come home on Sunday. Traffic was moving slow & a car in front of us had an Obama bumper sticker on it. It read: "Pray for Obama. Psalm 109:8". His bible was lying on the dash board & he got it & opened it up to the scripture & read it. He started laughing & laughing. Then he read it to me. I couldn't believe what it said. I had a good laugh, too. Psalm 109:8 "Let his days be few; and let another take his office....

Beginning January 1, 2010, agencies must seek prior approval from OPM before they can appoint a current or recent political appointee to a competitive or non-political excepted service position at any level under the provisions of title 5, United States Code. OPM will review these proposed appointments to ensure they comply with merit system principles and applicable civil service laws. I have delegated decisionmaking authority over these matters to career Senior Executives at OPM to avoid any hint of political influence. In no case may an agency make an appointment of the type described below without written authorization from OPM:...

Today is Monday, for anyone who is going, please look through the Zero Dollar archive and pick out any that you feel you'd want to use and handout to your reps or any politician you run into that day. For those that can't go, find the ones you like and MAIL them today to your reps so their office can get them by Friday. It isn't hard. there are almost 70 different Zero dollars to pick from that expres different problems with Obamacare and the administration in general. I've included the latest example and a link to the archive below:...

Scroll down, on right. Share your opinion! http://www.usnews.com/articles/news/obama/2009/10/30/obama-puts-himself-on-the-line-in-virginia-new-jersey/comments/ Go easy on me if this doesn't look right. It my first time starting a post.

I have no illusions that you are interested in the opinions of a middle-aged housewife. Indeed, you don't seem interested in anyone's opinions that do not mirror your own, nevertheless as long as I have the freedom to express myself, I will. Since you've decided to allow our troops to languish in purgatory, why not just bring them home before even one more son or daughter is killed due to your dithering? Just bring them home...it's ok. If tucking tail and running was good enough for John Kerry, it's certainly good enough for you. Who cares if the world laughs...

MOSCOW -- Russia is not ready to agree to a proposed new round of arms control talks that were to begin after a deal is reached on extending the START 1 nuclear treaty, a U.S. nuclear expert said Tuesday. The comments by former U.S. diplomat Richard Burt came after discussions in Moscow between Russian foreign ministry officials and representatives of Global Zero, a nongovernment nuclear disarmament group that includes more than 200 political leaders and military officials from around the world. "I think it's fair to say they're not ready to commit to a new

Barack Obama and the Flying Circus is a perfect term to describe current President of the United States and his prominent cabinet. For the past year and a half every single day was and still is about Barack Obama and his extravaganza. Days just does not go by without hearing about Obama. ...

GOOD GOING, GUYS: President Obama talks with (from left) FBI Director Robert Mueller, Assistant FBI Director Joseph Demarest Jr., and NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly yesterday at New York's Joint Terrorism Task Force headquarters, where he commended the team on its work.

THE White House may be stalled in getting things done in Afghanistan, getting out of Iraq, getting its act to gether with Iran and what to do with health care and how to handle the economy and which way to go with gays -- but the Oval Office isn't going in circles on how to handle the bunch that got them elected. In this case they know what to do. As you've heard, tonight's a small dinner at New York's Mandarin Oriental. They're hinting it's a very very small dinner. No. More like 150. A fund-raiser for the Democratic Party....

Representatives from Iran, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and three western states have convened in two-day talks in Vienna on October 19-20 to discuss supply of nuclear fuel for Tehran reactor. Informed sources close to the talks in Vienna said that the US has in a series of secret meetings informed its European partners of Washington's decision on acceptance of uranium enrichment in Iran. The sources reiterated that a number of Washington's EU allies have voiced strong protest against the decision, calling it a too big concession to Iran and a second blow to their stance by the US...

Three stories in the news this week pointed out the lunacy of what has become known as "zero tolerance". In the first case, a 6-year-old boy was suspended and threatened with reform school because he brought a camping utensil to school. Zachary Christie, a first-grader at Downes Elementary School in Newark, Del., was so proud of the spoon-fork-knife combination gift that he wanted to show it off and use it to eat his lunch. He was by all accounts a good student, who sometimes wore suits to school because he took his education seriously. He was also a Cub Scout....

There is no evidence that zero has ever prevented a fight in his life, or stepped in between combatants to defuse a situation that could escalate into bloodshed, or help settle an international incident or any number of other qualifications that would be pre-requisites for any serious candidate for a Nobel Prize. In a just and apolitical world. But we don't live in an apolitical world. We live in Oslo, Norway, the number one best place to live in the world and about as far divorced from reality as you can get. So, it should not be any big surprise...

The title speaks for itself

The former home run king of major league baseball has graciously conceded his title to zero. "It's the least I could do", said Bonds in a telephone interview earlier today from his palatial home in San Francisco. "Even though he throws like a girl, I just know he has 800 home runs in him". No word yet from Hammerin' Hank or The Babe.

OBAMA NAMED NEW VIAGRA SPOKESMAN! More to come!!!Later...Hold onto your hats....brace yourselves...

In a stunning final round performance, zero outdistanced dear leader, kim jong il, to win the yongbyon masters at the beautiful championship course surrounding the partially shuttered plutonium reprocessing facility. After having his opening drive shot down, and losing 2 balls in the sludge pond, zero got himself together and posted an incredible 29 under par 43 to win by 3 shots over dear leader. Such mastery!, such control!, gushed both Katie Couric and Brian Williams in describing what they had just witnessed.

Barack Hussien Obama wins the Indy 500 for the 4th consecutive time. Rest of field declines to test his mettle - refuse to finish race!

Bertha and her acolytes over at the church of acorn are just the visible tip of the iceburg. They are merely the lowest hanging fruit, (sorry about the mixed metaphores), on a relatively old and decidedly corrupt tree. This tree was bred for one reason and one reason only, far-left political power by any and all means neccesary. I'll illustrate it this way: 1- acorn gets them on the voting rolls, legal, illegal, dead or alive, it doesn't matter, as long as the databases are full to the bursting point, all the better to gum up the works. 2- seiu...

This weekend "Saturday Night Live" opened with Fred Armisen as President Obama, delivering an address from the Oval Office. Noting up front that he'd failed to secure the 2016 Olympic Games for Chicago, Armisen's Obama said it was just further proof that his detractors' fears are unfounded: How could he transform the country into something resembling the former Soviet Union or Nazi Germany when he's failed to accomplish anything at all? "When you look at my record," he said, "it's very clear what I've done so far, and that is nothing." But are SNL's accusations of Obama being a do-nothing...

(CNN) -- Whenever President Obama has traveled overseas and offered pointed and direct assessments of the United States, some of them critical, Republicans have ripped him for criticizing America, saying a president should always defend the United States. So I want to hear the explanation by these so-called patriots of their giddy behavior over the United States losing the 2016 Olympic Games. Yes, the United States. The bid that was rejected Friday by the International Olympic Committee was not a Chicago, Illinois, bid. It was the official bid submitted by the United States Olympic Committee and was representative of the...

US newspapers offered various takes Saturday on Chicago's spectacular Olympic flameout, but when it came to President Barack Obama's last-minute lobbying bid, the message was loud and clear: What was he thinking? Obama joined his wife Michelle in Copenhagen Thursday just hours before the International Olympic Committee voted out Chicago in the first round, eventually awarding the Games to Rio de Janeiro in a landslide. The White House was quick to downplay suggestions that the snub was a repudiation of Obama himself, and insisted the presidential dash to the Danish capital was "absolutely" the right decision, despite a host of...

"Hear our cry, Obama." "Deliver us, Obama." Video at link.

Glenn repeated some of the prayer, it kind of sounds like the Lords prayer only to Obama, to be released to the internet in 15 minutes ... It's a group of community organizers praying to him as if he were God.

TOPIC: Obama Tour We have spent our great-granchildren's future in less than 9 months, and they are still planning more. How do we stop them without armed rebellion? As taxpayers, I would think we have "standing". The problem is how to stop them within the law. On FreeRepublic we have some fine minds and some lawyers, too. Is there anything we can do MONDAY! I don't stay in Holiday Inns, so I need help in prosecuting this crap. We must have some way to stop them from voting on taxes without reading and discussion thereof. maybe the Scotch is talking,...

President Barack Obama may be regarded as a Communist trying to nationalise health care by his fiercest detractors at home, but other world leaders see him as a conservative, he declared on Sunday. Asked about the antipathy aroused by his stimulus bill, health reform plans, and takeover of ailing banks, the president revealed that the stinging domestic criticism has bemused other politicians whose politics are ostensibly to the Right of his. "I can't tell you how many foreign leaders, who are heads of centre-right governments, say to me 'I don't understand why people would call you socialist, in my country...

Asked about the antipathy aroused by his stimulus bill, health reform plans, and takeover of ailing banks, the president revealed that the stinging domestic criticism has bemused other politicians whose politics are ostensibly to the Right of his. "I can't tell you how many foreign leaders, who are heads of centre-right governments, say to me 'I don't understand why people would call you socialist, in my country you would be considered a conservative'," Mr Obama told CNN.

... Obama: Now, we are going to have to find some additional sources of revenue for the other third or so of the health care plan. And I've provided a long list of approaches that would not have an impact on middle class Americans. They're not going to be forced to pay for this. Insurance companies, drug companies are gonna have to be ponying up, partly because right now they're receiving huge subsidies from folks. Schieffer: But aren't they going to then pass it on to consumers? I mean that's what you know the Chamber of Commerce is saying. They're...

This is hysterical.

By all means, it's a laugh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4r6YCUtxfs

I am not a lawyer, nor an auditor, but I do believe that non-profits need to disclose their books. Is there a law forcing them to reveal their balance sheets, and allow outsiders to compare with gum't disclosures. The ACORN people are changing their name, but the trail is still warm. Maybe someone has more on this. All I have is an idea to help stop them cold...

It occurs to me that if there is no relevance to the truth that your opponents words invoke, then why dignify them with a response? I'll tell you why, death panels are just exactly what we will get with zerocare. In order to make socialised medicine work, you have to cull out the difficult cases with arbitrary bureaucratic red tape and the expected level of gov't incompetence. That all by itself will kill off plenty of undeserving and underserving seniors and other burdens to the system. So, who is lying?

I have turned on to CBS Station 13.2 and I am currently watching the "Live Doppler". Yes...it is more interesting that Obama! We currently have a storm system moving in the West Virginia area. It is raining up near Portsmouth Ohio and headed towards Mason County. Spencer WV is being pounded by rain. It is raining over my house now. Thrilling! This is Morgana Leslie reporting for WOWK-TV, Huntington, West Virginia.

So far I have about 15-16 different Zero dollar designs aimed at fighting Obamacare. They are political artwork that fits in your wallet, they are easily transportable. They have a colorful front side, some have artwork on the back along with more detailed information. They are nice to look at and will catch peoples' attention. They have statements and information on the front and back that will make you (or anyone) think about what's really going on with the govt healthcare takeover (Obamacare). There are no lies on these zeroes. There are LIARS, but no lies. Browse through the collection...

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll Monday, September 07, 2009 Email to a Friend ShareThis Advertisement The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 28% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -13 (see trends). Sixty percent (60%) now believe the President is at least as ethical as most politicians. On health care reform, 83% say that proof of citizenship should be required before anyone can receive government subsidies. Just 13% of Americans consider Labor...

The conventional wisdom is that Obama made a tactical mistake by farming out his agenda to Congress and allowing himself to be pulled left by the doctrinaire liberals of the Democratic congressional leadership. But the idea of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi pulling Obama left is quite ridiculous. Where do you think he came from, this friend of Chávista ex-terrorist William Ayers, of PLO apologist Rashid Khalidi, of racialist inciter Jeremiah Wright? But forget the character witnesses. Just look at Obama's behavior as president, beginning with his first address to Congress. Unbidden, unforced and unpushed by the congressional leadership, Obama...

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama on Tuesday praised American Muslims for enriching the nation's culture at a dinner to celebrate the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. "The contribution of Muslims to the United States are too long to catalog because Muslims are so interwoven into the fabric of our communities and our country," Obama said at the iftar, the dinner that breaks the holiday's daily fast. The president joined Cabinet secretaries, members of the diplomatic corps and lawmakers to pay tribute to what he called "a great religion and its commitment to justice and progress."

It has occurred to me tonight that I do not remember hearing that the President had planned to have a two week long vacation. I had understood that he would take last week then, come back to Washington and go back to work. I heard today that he is "taking the rest of the week off". Did I miss something? If not, I cannot recall a time when a healthy President suddenly took an unplanned week off. Can anyone offer some clarity to this mucky water? I am concerned...

This is the Trio Zero dollar bill - Pelosi, Frank and Reid (Dodd in the background smiling). So far we have 10 different Zero dollars created - political artwork - for you to print out, and use in the fight against Obamacare. The latest example (front and back of the bill) is here, and below that is the link to the archive of about 10 or so different bills you can use. Keep passing them out. They were made to not resemble actual bills but be able to be the same size as regular bills (don't want counterfeit charges tossed...

The Joe Biden Zero dollar is now available for download. Joe was just happy to be included in SOMETHING for a change. Print them out, pass them out as you fight against Obamacare (ie overarching orwellian government healthcare). People are bound to get a laugh at them. The quote is true, it's from an AARP town hall meeting Biden had with a bunch of AARP members. Couldn't tell how many jaws hit the floor with that statement. Front of the bill is first, then the back:

I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books on history that have been published in six languages, and I have studied history all my life. I have come to think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is simply a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus. Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what...

Fifty-five percent see the nation heading on the wrong track, up from 48% in April. Opposition against a public healthcare option is also up. Reporting from Washington - Public confidence in President Obama's leadership has declined sharply over the summer, amid intensifying opposition to a healthcare overhaul that threatens to undercut his attempt to change the system, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. * * * Among all Americans surveyed, 49% express confidence that Obama will make the right decisions for the country, down from 60% at the 100-day mark in his presidency. Forty-nine percent say they think...

Below Fox News Channel’s Glenn Beck explains the Apollo Alliance on his July 28 show. Beck mentions the Obama administration’s “stimulus” blueprint, “The New Apollo Program: Clean Energy, Good Jobs,” which you can read here.

Last month was not a good month for President Obama. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the Senate would not vote on his controversial healthcare bill before the August recess, federal deficit spending has reached a record $1.8 trillion, one major poll showed his approval rating had dropped below 50 percent, and a growing group of people question his citizenship and therefore his right to be President. “Birthers” is the label used by those who want to relegate the latter group as a fringe element of society. Many complained last year when they noticed that Senator Obama would not place...

Hi guys, I don't normally put a post up like this. I need help finding a freeware graphics editor that I can use to create an Obama dollar image. I have all the separate images more or less ready to go, I need a program that I can overlay them over one another and have the background of the image in the foreground be transparent so that the image behind it doesn't get blanked out. Whether there's a graphics editor that can make the background white space of an image transparent and copy/paste it into another image, or if there's...

President Barack Obama talks about restoring economic growth. But his science adviser, John Holdren, once called for zero economic growth while writing with Paul and Anne Ehrlich--who predicted mass starvation in the 1970s. **** Admittedly, President Obama hasn't formally adopted this goal. But by putting the economy into hock and running up government borrowing, which even the Congressional Budget Office warns will crowd out private investment, the president seems determined to prevent a robust recovery. Maybe John Holdren will get his wish after all.

Just how smart is the President? Famous presidential historian Michael Beschloss, a regular on PBS's Newshour show, says his IQ is "off the charts" and that he is "probably the smartest guy ever to become president," while admitting he doesn't know what his IQ is. I say: let's look at the evidence.
