Obama to GOP Congress: Don’t Jeopardize Our National Security

Obama made a budgetary threat regarding DHS. If the Congress doesn't fund this, then DHS will continue working at their jobs without pay.

Wait a second - isn't that slavery?
I guess BHO is not down for the struggle.

    Prolly right. Just another cheap trick the government uses that most of the country doesn't have a clue about.

    We don't need much of what this administration offers, but we do need much, much less of what they are spooning out.

    Ever time you use your phone you're paying is one way you do. Just another of the extra charges you'll find on the bill.

    A pic. on Obama phones. Then stop them from working (the phones). All this is needed is for the utilities supporting them to start refusing the calls being made.

    You're right, he should be impeached.....a long time ago. But how do we get congress to do it? I never thought I'd live to see over half the country, if not neutral but against the nation. If and when it happens everyone is going to suffer. I take little pleasure in knowing that the voters that put Obama in the oval office will see what they have done. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't blame Bush for what they've done.

    This is another example of Obama working to "fundamentally change our nation". What he has been doing is working. If our congress doesn't act we may be seeing the end of our nation. I'm 72 and until this administration felt that I have lived in the best this country has ever had. I fear I'm now seeing the worst. I never dreamed that this could happen and heart broken to see this.

    Yep, that's what we get from an assertion without a definition, as I've been saying forever...
    Just another example, and I'm pleased you caught it!

    I didn't realize he knows more than the Supremes until he disagreed with them on one of their findings. I think it was that Obama Care is a tax.

    I also didn't know that he paid any attention to the constitution.

    I was born in '42. Does that make me a Boomer or Pre Boomer. Also, I went to the University of Oklahoma, the Boomer Sooners. So Maybe I'm both Pre Boomer and Boomer. Or am I a double Boomer? I'm so confused.

    He might have to!
    I have an unnamed source in the WH that tells me that Barry is secretly stumping for Jeb Bush. Obama is hoping that he might stretch another 4 years out of his BUSH DID IT! bumper sticker and bobble head line.

    Plus lets not forget some other factors.

    A lot of hospital/clinic beds will disappear as faith based facilities are given the choice of break their own principles or close. Many will close reducing that resource.

    My WAG is that once things settle out more, the total resources for medical care will be reduced somewhere between 1/4 and 1/3 from driving out the faith based providers.

    Which is has a double impact in my area, the best facilities for care in my state tend to be the faith based ones.

    How do you determine "poor"? From ANY where? At who's expense? Is there a background check? Can a "poor" criminal come in? A poor person with a contagious disease? A poor person and 90 of their family members? At any rate... that's what's already happening... by the droves. I don't see it as a good thing...and I really SEE it where I am.

    I'm saying that neither drugs nor immigration by the poor should be illegal.

    Real national security means securing the borders, and that is what the Border Patrol (like my friend) would do if they weren't told not to by this President. Nations must have borders to delimit where their laws and citizens reside.

    If you want to argue that the Department of Homeland Security should be focusing on keeping us safe from foreign threats, I agree. Couldn't really tell from the rest of your post where you were going.

    Yikes! That strikes me as highly possible.
    Up until now, that thought had not occurred to me. Welcome me as a newbie to your nightmare.
