There he goes again.
We’ve all grown accustomed to President Barack Obama spending our money like water but most of the time it is for his communist … I mean liberal … political agenda of creating a single class — poor. Because that is what happens when government try to make everyone have the same amount of stuff. Look at China, Cuba or the former Soviet Union if you want real-world examples.
Now, though, he has taken his spending to a new level. He is spending our money to enrich himself.
On a recent trip to three battleground states, Obama, spending more than $179,000 an hour to make the trip, attended campaign-like rallies trying to drum up support for a faux battle over student loan interest rates. There was no dispute, mind you. Republicans and Democrats alike were not going to allow the rates to spike and were working on a solution in the Congress, without controversy, to prevent that from happening.
In fact, his chief rival for the White House, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, also supported a plan to keep the rates from spiking, as did GOP and Democratic leadership in the Congress.
That, however, did not stop Obama from visiting these three battleground states and pretend there was some issue at stake.
However, Obama looking like a fool is not what concerns me. He does that all the time.
The problem is his complete disregard from the laws of this nations in doing so. The taxpayers footed the bill for this campaign trip, when it really should have been paid for by his re-election campaign.
His trip to college campuses in North Carolina, Iowa and Colorado was clearly not government business. It was obviously a campaign-related trip.
Apparently this is nothing new for Obama.
As a candidate, Obama pledged to strengthen the Federal Election Commission. Nearly four years later, he has not done so and, in fact, five of the six commissioners are serving on expired terms.
That’s because a strong elections law regimen would stand in the way of his blatantly skirting those laws.
Only in one case has he complained about campaign laws and that is the Supreme Court’s rightly decided decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which found that the First Amendment still matters.
He complains about the decision because it is going to make it harder for him to win re-election because corporations will be able to donate money to political action committees that will report on his activities. This would not be necessary if the media today did their jobs, but they don’t so it is incumbent on others to showcase the record, or lack thereof, of this clown in the White House.
As for Obama’s trips, he is claiming they are official travel.
But that doesn’t pass the smell test.
Or, as Speaker John Boehner said, “The president traveled across the country on taxpayers’ dime at a cost of $179,000 an hour insisting the Congress fix a problem that we were already working on. Frankly, I think this is beneath the dignity of the White House.”
What Boehner didn’t say, but probably knows, is that much of Obama’s official travel these days is taking place in swing states. CBS’s Mark Knoller reported that Obama has visited Ohio 20 times, Florida 16 times, Pennsylvania 15 times, Michigan 11 times, and North Carolina 10 times since filing for re-election.
Obama’s “official” travel has become so obviously campaigning that the Republican National Committee has filed a formal complaint, accusing his administration of potentially committing fraud by combining campaign and official business.
For presidents, there has always been mixing of official business with campaigning. It is probably unavoidable.
As former Republican National Committee Chairman Rich Bond told The Associated Press in 2004 when George W. Bush was under fire for the very same thing: “Using federal government assets is unavoidable in terms of having contact with everyday people and it’s a topic that White House lawyers from Ford to Carter to Reagan to Bush to Clinton and now to Bush have all struggled with to make sure that you don’t break the law.”
However, it appears Obama is taking it to a new level.

He will ruin our country if he gets four more years. I fear for the American people. If I was President on
day one I would have got Donald Trump to help to start getting factories and jobs back in this country.
On day two I would speak to the business people and make it easier for them to hire more people.
Instead of killing jobs, Gas prices are sky high and will go higher under Obama's watch. Obamacare
is a killer for the older folks and he will have control of all our health care NOT THE DOCTOR'S. This
is horrible folks and it coming fast. Obama has ruined everything he has touched in our country.
Let's vote him out before he ruines the rest…. that's why he needs four more years don't give it to him.
God Bless America
Thank you, sorry for your low self esteem last election.
This THING in office IS A FRAUD! How could a FRAUD in office behave any other way than FRAUDULENT!? His very life is a FRAUD! There is nothing about this thing that IS NOT A FRAUD, including it’s whole “family” and the poor DOG! I feel sorry for the dog, if the truth be known! His life is in danger as his owner makes jokes about EATING DOGS! How LOW can any one go? Lower than low, about as low as HELL ITSELF, from the looks and sounds of it! Our money, OUR money means nothing to him, only that he CAN AND WILL SPEND IT IN ANY WAY HE CHOOSES! The poorer that we are, the RICHER HE BECOMES! I have gone beyond outrage to sheer ?????????? and wondering when we, the people, are going to finally do what we have to do for our own survival……..congress, and the senate may as well not even be there, for all the good they are, or do. They are as useless as TITS ON A BOAR HOG! As USELESS as the TIT IN THE WHITE HOUSE! They are cowards, chicken shits, scared of the shadows on the walls in the halls of the capitol building, they are TRAITORS OF THE HIGHEST ORDER AND SHOULD ALL, TO A ONE, BE TAKEN TO COURT AND TRIED, AND SUMMARILY HUNG OR SHOT FOR THE TRAITORS THEY ARE! And, their “leader” should be the FIRST IN LINE! ON THE STEPS OF THE CAPITOL BUILDING FOR ALL TO SEE! This sounds drastic, and IS DRASTIC! But this is the ONLY JUSTICE THERE IS FOR TRAITORS TO THEIR COUNTRY! And, a lesson for all who may come after them that We, The People of the United States of America will not stand for TREASON! This is what the law of our forefathers was for TREASON, and it should STILL BE THE LAW FOR ANYONE WHO COMMITS WHAT THESE TRAITORS AND TREASONOUS BASTARDS HAVE DONE TO AMERICA AND TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
It is far past time, Execute the Muslim Monkey post haste!! Death by Military Tribunal for acts of Treason
& being a Traitor.
I fail to understand how that n***r can continue in that position of Fraud, Lies, and Treason stealing trillions thru fraudulent channels of the military. They keep illegal wars going by threatening, and bombing civilians in numerous countries. His worhless wife flies around the world with her whore friends spending millions of tax payer dollars illegally on nothing related to government. Check her out, there is doubt by Academia that she is Citizen of US?????
DEAR AMERICA:
What we do here on line complaining about OBAMA and liberals, will not change anything, if we"DO NOT IMPEACH" OBAMA, on ALL HIS IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES. WE ARE WASTING OUR OWN TIME AND MONEY. While Obama is spending our own money at the same time, he is attacking us with "LIES AND FABRICATIONS". He lies left and right to AMERICA at our expense. As member of the SILENT MAJORITY, WE ARE FRUSTRATED THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO SEND THIS ILLEGAL KENYAN OUT OF OFFICE AND OUT OF OUR COUNTRY WHERE HE DOES NOT BELONG.
Right On Oscar, I more than agree with you.
Impeach all incubents this next election,it is time to Flush the bowel. The toilet bowel needs to be flushed clean. This can only happen if American voters see the the Light.
Right On, I agree with you 10,000 %
