   Emails confirm Obama is out to hurt the American people as badly as possible

   In the email sent Monday by Charles Brown, an official with the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service office in Raleigh, N.C., Mr. Brown asked “if there was any latitude” in how to spread the sequester cuts across the region to lessen the impacts on fish inspections.

   He said he was discouraged by officials in Washington, who gave him this reply: “We have gone on record with a notification to Congress & it is our opinion that however you manage that reduction, you need to make sure you are not contradicting what we said the impact would be…”

   @Betty and Chriscee “in a country of 310 Million, that means that 276 million viewers ARE NOT WATCHING (ahem) “BROADCAST NEWS”

   This just in: Lian ryan is proposing to eliminate Medicare for people in their 50′s–he wants them to starting saving at 50 so they can bankroll the plan for themselves by 65….Any takers?—of course not, Lian Ryan is on the wrong side of reason again……

   1) perfected the OBSTRUCTION tactics to kill the eocnomy and job creation

    @Mikey

    Broadcast News (NBC,ABC,CBS) = 24 to 25 million uniques viewers

    Cable News (FOX,CNN,MSNBC) = 4 to 5 million unique viewers

    That’s just a reality check for you.

    @mark 2 the facts show network news numbers are down too. But people can get network news free through the over the air digital. But to get cable news you have to buy a subscription plan. Wont the numbers be inflated for networks vs Cable beacause more people will get the free network news instead of paying for cable news ???

    Mark2, Spinning the truth again. I know you aren’t trying to say that the ratings are only based on household?
    There are only 114.7 million TV households but each household averages 2.55 people, which makes 292.5 million viewers. The ratings are based on viewers.

    So Chriscee’s 310 million is only 17.5 million off not the 195.8 million you are implying.

    “Everything Obama is doing is aimed at the midterm elections in 2014, and their target is the House of Representatives. The only thing Obama cares about and the only thing he’s ever cared about is eliminating any viable opposition.” -Rush Limbaugh

    “We’re now at the point where nobody has any money. The states are out of money, individuals don’t have any money, everybody’s in debt. And getting money is the first overall concern people have, not being Republican or Democrat, not being conservative or liberal, not George Washington or Abraham Lincoln, not the founding, not the Constitution – money.” Rush Limbaugh

    Rush Limbaugh Theorem Now Conventional Wisdom

    The Limbaugh Theorem, i.e., that Obama never governs. All he does is campaign and that he’s targeting 2014 to effectively have a one-party government to rid himself of any viable opposition.

    That’s now de rigueur. Everybody thinks that’s the modus operandi, Obama in a constant campaign mode, but what they’re putting together now is why. It’s so that nothing happening in the country ever attaches to him.

    Mitt Romney: Obama Is Campaigning, Not Leading

    Video: wwW dot youtube dot com/watch?v=JEco4SS-2IA&feature=player_embedded

    MITT ROMNEY: Well, I recognize that as the guy who lost the election, I’m not in a position to tell everybody else how to win, all right? They’re not going to listen and I don’t have the credibility to do that anyway.

    I look at what’s happening right now, I wish I were there. It kills me not to be there, not to be in the White House doing what needs to be done.

    The president is the leader of the nation. The president brings people together, does the deals, does the trades, knocks the heads together. The president leads.

    And — and I don’t see that kind of — of leadership happening right now –

    WALLACE: What is this president doing?

    MITT ROMNEY: Well, he’s campaigning.

    Michael Barone: For Obama, politics always trumps governing

    Do we have a president or a perpetual candidate? It’s not an entirely unfair question.

    Even as Barack Obama was warning of the dreadful consequences of the budget sequester looming on March 1, he spent days away from Washington, apparently out of touch with Democratic as well as Republican congressional leaders.

    In the meantime, Obama fans were lobbing verbal grenades at none other than the Washington Post’s Bob Woodward.

    His offense: He’s continuing to make it clear, as he did in his book “The Price of Politics,” that it was Obama’s then-chief of staff and now Treasury Secretary Jack Lew who first proposed the dreaded sequester.

    This inconvenient fact threatens to interfere with the ready-for-teleprompter narrative that the Republicans want to cut aid to preschoolers in order to save tax breaks for corporate jets.

    It appears that Obama prefers delivering such messages to crowds of adoring supporters over actually governing.

    His theory seemed to be that if he kicked his job approval rating up a few points, Republicans would agree to the revenue increases he is promoting, just as they agreed to a tax rate increase in the “fiscal cliff” showdown.

    But his job rating continues to hover just above 50 percent. That’s not nearly high enough to compel cooperation.

    In addition, his campaign rhetoric undercuts his credibility with politicians of the opposite party and perhaps of his own.
