It's Vacation Time!

Vacation Time!
It's summer vacation time for the Obama Family. Our President is jetting off to Martha's Vineyard for the next eight days. The same man who rails against the 1% and has shutdown the White House for tours for average Americans is about to embark on a luxury vacation, staying at a $7.6 million estate. But before he leaves the American people to struggle under his economy, Obama wanted to make sure he got in the final word. He's holding his first solo news conference today since April 30th, only his third of the year. Let's pause for a moment to consider everything that Obama is leaving behind as he jets off to the elite playground for the rich and famous. Our foreign policy is in shambles. Just this week we've seen Obama play diplomatic footsy with Putin over Edward Snowden and cancel an upcoming meeting on the progress of our “reset.” Egypt – once a key ally in the region – is on th e verge of collapse, much thanks to Obama's handling of their revolution and the subsequent coup. The threat of terrorism persists as U.S. embassies remain closed due to threats from al Qaeda, which we were told was “on the run.” We've killed a dozen terrorist in Yemen over the last few days. U.S. personnel have been evacuated from our embassy in Yemen and now our consulate in Lahore, Pakistan. A credible terror threat exists and yet Obama chose to go on Jay Leno and then vacation. Based on his actions, I suppose we aren't supposed to take it all that seriously? The looming Obama Care nightmare is barreling down the beaten path towards implementation. Polls consistently show that Obama Care is despised by virtually every voting group in America. Obama is vacationing on the cusp of a potential government shutdown. Those Republicans who ARE willing to put up a fight are striving to fund the rest of the government, but leaving out the funding for Obama Care. Will Obama and the Democrats be willing to shut down the government in order to get funding for this law that nobody likes? Maybe Obama can mull that one over on the course.

Tone Deaf
Many have labeled Obama's trip to Martha's Vineyard as “tone deaf,” considering the state of the economy. Let's face it, our economy is struggling despite the belabored spin from the administration. An economic growth rate of 1.4% in the first half of this year is abysmal. The unemployment rate of 7.4% doesn't accurately reflect the plight of millions of Americans: The real unemployment rate is 14%, most of the jobs being created are part-time, the labor force participation remains at a record low, millions of Americans have simply given up looking for work and there are still fewer Americans working today than when Obama took office despite a growing population. We spent billions on a “stimulus” that did nothing to kickstart our economy and put us further on a path to unsustainable debt. Barack Obama can go and enjoy his vacation, but clearly he's left America worse for ware and I don't see it getting better any time soon.
Obama Scandals Continue
President Obama is leaving for vacation but he’s not leaving from scandal. Where should we begin? Let's start with the “phony” scandal of Benghazi. This administration explicitly labeled Benghazi as a “phony” scandal and Obama has continued to make this reference in his speeches. The only problem for him is that nobody is buying it: “ A Fox News national poll released Thursday finds that 78 percent of voters think the questions over the administration’s handling of the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi should be taken seriously. Just 17 percent call it a phony scandal.” If the scandal was “phony,” how does the administration then explain that it filed charges in the case just this week? But the charges being filed also comes into question when the American public realized that media outlets like Fox News and CNN were able to get in touch with the accused perpetrators but apparently the FBI hadn't bothered to do the same. So much for that “top priority” and “justice” that Obama and Hillary Clinton promised almost a year ago. Now it's time for some alphabet soup: The IRS, FEC, DEA, NSA – All of these have ma naged to collide into a disturbing pattern of big government and abuse of power. First of all, it came out this week that the IRS is STILL targeting Tea Party groups with extra scrutiny, which is just absurd. We also now know that the IRS was apparently in communication with the FEC over tax exempt groups, based on an email exchange involving the infamous Lois “I plead the Fifth” Lerner. The IRS also got swept up into the controversy over the NSA when it was discovered that information from the NSA and other programs was being funneled to the DEA to start criminal investigations within the United States, and the instructions on how to hide how that information came to be was included in an IRS manual! Hard to follow that one, wasn't it? The point is that these government agencies are using their power to collect vast amounts of information on Americans, to target Americans and to prosecute American criminals and yet they've lied about all of it.

Today's "Hot Topic" From the Hannity Forums:
How Is This Appropriate - Posted by AmericanWay
Synopsis: Barrack Hussein and Michelle have date night at an Indian restaurant to celebrate his birthday. With the economy how it's been for over five years, and with the Benghazi, IRS, NSA, DEA, and CIA scandals in full swing, what kind of message is our president sending when he chooses to lavishly relax instead of working for the people who elected him? The man is asleep at the switch.

Follow us on Twitter View this as website BY JAMIE MCINTYRE ADVERTISEMENT FROM 'CATCH AND RELEASE' TO 'DETAIN AND DEPORT': After months of hard-nosed negotiation behind closed doors in the Senate, the text of a compromise $118 billion national security supplemental budget bill, which includes major concessions from the Democrats on border security and desperately needed aid for Ukraine, was released last night. Senators now have two days to read and digest it before a Wednesday vote. Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), the lead GOP negotiator, said the bill contains all the most vital reforms Republicans have demanded and called it a "once-in-a-generation opportunity to close our open border." "The bill provides funding to build the wall, increase technology at the border, and add more detention beds, more agents, and more deportation flights. The border security bil
