US House of Representatives Votes to Attorney General Eric Holder in Criminal and Civil Contempt of Congress over ‘Fast and Furious’

The US House of Representatives voted Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress over his obstruction in handing over documents with the ‘Fast and Furious’ government gun walking program. Democrats House minority leader Pelosi Holder Obama, the liberal MSM and the numerous Democrats have called it a political witch hunt. The criminal contempt of vote was 255-67. However, that is hard to say this vote was political AG Holder when 17 Democrats crossed party lines and voted to find Eric Holder in contempt of Congress. The House also passed civil contempt of Congress  258 – 95.

The House of Representatives voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress Thursday for failing to provide documents relating to the Fast and Furious gunwalking program.

The House took two votes, one on criminal contempt charges, which passed 255-67. The criminal contempt of Congress is likely not to go anywhere as the Justice Department, which Holder heads, is the department responsible for opening a criminal investigation.

The second charge, which passed 258 – 95, was a civil contempt charge, could move to federal court where it could take years to litigate. Though the action puts more pressure on the administration to abide by the subpoenas and provide requested documents.

The Democratic Party was split on the action. Seventeen members voted with the Republicans to hold Holder in criminal contempt while just under two dozen voted to hold him in civil contempt. But most, led by the Congressional Black Caucus, walked off the floor to protest the vote, which they called “appalling.”

Barack Obama Finally Has Found New Voting Block … Americans Favor Obama to Defend Against Space Aliens

WOW, just how far down the totem pole is defending America against space aliens on the radar of American voters?

As reported at Yahoo News, 65% of Americans prefer Barack Obama to defend Americans against space aliens. Really folks, because Obama is doing such a good job defending America against illegal aliens? Many individuals think that Obama policies are from another planet so why wouldn’t those who believe in space aliens also side with Obama on this hot button topic. Maybe Obama can use this in his reelection stump speech and avoid discussing the economy and jobs.

Nearly two in three Americans think President Barack Obama is better suited than Republican rival Mitt Romney to deal with an alien invasion, according to a survey released Wednesday.

National Geographic Channel contacted 1,114 adults across the United States last month for its fanciful opinion poll ahead of its new cable television documentary series “Chasing UFOs.”

Thirty-six percent of respondents said they were certain that unidentified flying objects exist. Eleven percent were confident they had spotted a UFO, and 20 percent said they knew someone who claimed to have seen one.

OBAMACARE BAIT & SWITCH: Stocks Fall Triple Digits as SCOTUS Upholds Obamacare Individual Mandate as a Tax … Even Though Obama Said it Was Not a Tax … Obamacare Tax on the Middle Class

BARACK OBAMA … THE LYING KING!!!

STOCKS PLUMMET ON NEWS OF OBAMACARE … and the BAIT & SWITCH OF THE INDIVIDUAL MANDATE. WELCOME TO THE OBAMACARE TAX ON THE MIDDLE CLASS.

So what does business think of the US Supreme Court ruling that the “individual mandate” of Obamacare was upheld … the DOW is down 157 points, NASDEQ down 45 points , and  S&P down 16.

Many Americans were shocked today, including the White House, when the SCOTUS has upheld the individual mandate of Obamacare as a tax. That is correct America, A TAX! President Barack Husein Obama said that he would not tax Americans, unless you were deemed rich.

OBAMACARE IS A TAX!!! This is something that Barack Obama stated that Obacare was not. Au contraire. Obama and his lawyers have perpetrated the greatest “BAIT & SWITCH” on the American people that has ever been done in the history of the United States. It was the Obama lawyers that argued that the mandate was a tax, even though Barack Obama continually passed this off as not a tax. Listen to Obama in his own words that the individual mandate was NOT A TAX.  However, Obamacare and the individual mandate stands today as ruled on by the SCOTUS as a tax. Thank you Barack Obama for issuing the greatest tax increase in history.

This is hardly going to play well for Obama in the 2012 election. As per the latest Rasmussen poll, 54% want to repeal Obamacare while only 39% are for it. The SCOTUS may be the ones that declare a law constitutional or not; however, it is “WE THE PEOPLE” who are in charge of the so-called government by and for the people. It is the people that will pass judgment on the wisdom of this law. The SCOTUS has awoke a sleeping giant.

America, you have a chance in November … hire a Congress that will scrap this Obamacare crap and write a law that everyone will read before they vote on and will be good for America and Americans.

US Supreme Court Declares OBAMACARE … Individual Mandate Ruled Unconstitutional!!! But (Correction Individual Mandate is Constitutional as a Tax) VIDEO … OBAMATAX

THE BAIT AND SWITCH OF OBAMACARE … IT IS A TAX EVEN THOUGH OBAMA SAID OT WASN’T …

BREAKING … THE SCOTUS HAS RULED THE INDIVIDUAL MANDATE HAS BEEN DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!! Correction … individual mandate allowed to go forward as a tax.

WOW, Fox News is ruling that the “individual mandate” does not fall under the commerce clause, but instead will remain as a tax. UNREAL. UNBELIEVABLE … doesn’t it figure, we have sunk so low that the federal government can force Americans to buy a product and call it a tax. Barack Obama has now just raised a tax on every single American. Chief Justice Roberts, you should be ashamed of yourself.

‘Congress had the power to impose the exaction in Section 5000A under the taxing power, and that Section 5000A need not be read to do more than impose a tax. This is sufficient to sustain it. ‘

Isn’t it quite something that President Barack Obama presented Obamacare to America that it was not a tax. However, his attorneys argued it at the SCOTUS that it was a tax. Talk about your bait and switch. Watch the VIDEO below where Obama tax that the individual mandate is not a tax. IT IS TIME FOR OBAMA TO SAY IT IS A TAX AND THAT HE WILL BE TAXING EVERY AMERICAN IN THE UNITED STATES.

The justices rejected two of the administration’s three arguments in support of the insurance requirement. But the court said the mandate can be construed as a tax. “Because the Constitution permits such a tax, it is not our role to forbid it, or to pass upon its wisdom or fairness,” Roberts said.

Supreme Court upholds Obamacare.

OBAMA MANDATORY TAX ON HEALTH CARE IS NOT A TAX

NY TIMES: Obamacare stands.

Drudge Report … Chief Justice Roberts joins the left of the Court … The Medicaid provision is limited but not invalidated …

Look for this to now energize Americans that do not support Obamacare by 2 to 1.  The only way to get rid of Obamacare is to vote Obama out of office and repeal the law.

AP: High court upholds key part of Obama health law.

The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the individual insurance requirement at the heart of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.

The decision handed Obama a campaign-season victory in rejecting arguments that Congress went too far in requiring most Americans to have health insurance or pay a penalty.

UPDATE I: States can opt out?  However, it appears that the Fed have lost the ability to force states to put individual on Medicaid or face penalties. So where are they going to go? It would almost appear that with no Medicaid expansion required, the states that opt out will face no fines. So what would cause all states to just opt out? Is there a penalty if states do not participate? If not, it is a defacto opt out.

I guess we can expect Democrats and Obama to spike the football.

Obamacare now will go from the legal field to the political one.

UPDATE II: from CNN, Supreme Court upholds entire health care law

Now Americans will receive a tax increase if they do not buy health insurance. The death of liberty.

Did VP Joe Biden Just Say We are in a Depression, What Happened to the Obama Recovery … Millions and Millions of Americans Are in Depression”

This one is going to leave a mark. I hardly think that President Barack Obama wanted his Veep Biden to remind Americans that “Millions and Millions of Americans Are in Depression.” When trying to control the message, using the “D” word is hardly a wise thing to do for an incumbent Presidential administration.

Vice President Biden just said what Americans already know, there has been no job recovery and to millions of Americans, they are still in a depression. Gee Joe, what happened to the Obama job recovery that you were supposed to lead? What happened to all that stimulus money for those shovel ready jobs? Is Biden and Obama just figuring out that millions and millions of Americans are without jobs? Who is out of touch?

Vice President Joe Biden today offered a blunt assessment of the plight of the unemployed, telling supporters at a campaign rally in Iowa that the economy remains “a depression for millions and millions of Americans.”

“The unemployed are in real trouble,” Biden said in a speech on the banks of the Mississippi River in Dubuque.  “My grandpa used to say, from Scranton, he’d say, ‘Joe, when the guy in Dunmore…is out of work, it’s an economic slowdown. When your brother-in-law is out of work, it’s a recession. When you’re out of work, it’s a depression.’”

“It’s a depression for millions and millions of Americans,” he said.

To make matters worse, as pointed out by the Weekly Standard, Biden ripped off the tag line of his speech from former President Ronald Regan. Isn’t that something that his grandpa said the same thing as Reagan. The only thing that Biden should have said was that A RECOVERY IS WHEN BARACK OBAMA LOSES HIS JOB.

“The unemployed are in real trouble,” Biden said. “My grandpa used to say, from Scranton, he’d say, ‘Joe, when the guy in Dunmore – the next town over – when the guy in Dunmore is out of work, it’s an economic slowdown. When your brother-in-law is out of work, it’s a recession. When you’re out of work, it’s a depression. It’s a depression for millions and millions of Americans.”

But the last bit is particularly curious since it sounds an awful lot like something President Ronald Reagan said.

“A recession is when your neighbor loses his job,” Reagan said during the 1980 presidential campaign. “A depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his.”
