"Good afternoon, Mr. President. I'll try not to cry. I'm trying to figure out what I can do currently. My situation is I had renal cell carcinoma in '98 that was radiated, because my dad was dying of colon cancer at the time, and I was his health care server on his living will, so I could not be tied up having my kidney removed. So they did radiation procedures to kill the tumor then. And I had insurance and everything was taken out.

But basically because of the damage that the radiation did in things, I'm no longer able to work and I have no health insurance. Now I have a new tumor. I have no way to pay for it. Doctors will not see you without paying $100 or $150 to come into their office. I can get checked into a hospital -- under their program, they will run tests and release me, but that costs a lot of money.

 

So currently I basically -- Social Security will not give me disability because renal failure is no longer a qualifying factor under Social Security currently. I cannot get Medicaid from the state of Virginia because you have to be considered disabled through Social Security to qualify for Medicaid in the state of Virginia because I have no dependent children at home -- it's just me. I get food stamps, but that's it. And I'm just trying to figure out how I'm going to make it in nine years until I'm qualified to get my regular Social Security -- now that I have a new tumor and I have nowhere to turn."

Dear Leader Zero: "treatments that, in some cases, they don't really need"

Of course, government control of costs is all about finding what works.

Dear Leader ZerO: "identifying what works is not about dictating what kind of care should be provided."

Dear Leader Zero: "First, we need to upgrade our medical records by switching from a paper to an electronic system of record keeping."

Dear Leader Zero: "What I've said is, our top priority has to be to control costs. And that means not just tinkering around the edges. It doesn't mean just lopping off reimbursements for doctors in any given year because we're trying to fix our budget."

"When I was asked earlier about the issue of coal…under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket…even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad, because I’m capping greenhouse gasses, coal power plants, natural gas…you name it…whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, they would have to retro-fit their operations. That will cost money…they will pass that money on to the consumers."

"We are part of a Muslim world that wants happiness for all humanity. If the Americans agree to our conditions : leave Muslim nations, stop supporting Israel, stop supporting oppressive regimes in the region, and stop killing Muslims and release prisoners. If they met these conditions we would offer a long truce, say ten years. Then we will ask them to become Muslims and if they refuse, we will Impose the Jizyeh or tax. And if they refuse we will fight them. This is our view of peace and we don't think they will agree, so we should prepare for the fight."

"God willing, the nuclear weapons won't fall into the hands of the Americans and they will be seized by the fighters and used against the Americans."

However, politics have proved obstructive to all facets of counterterrorism policy. And politics may have been at play in the Muhammad case as well as in other cases involving Black Muslim converts. Several weeks ago, STRATFOR heard from sources that the FBI and other law enforcement organizations had been ordered to “back off” of counterterrorism investigations into the activities of Black Muslim converts. At this point, it is unclear to us if that guidance was given by the White House or the Department of Justice, or if it was promulgated by the agencies themselves, anticipating the wishes of President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder.

Q I'm sure they will appreciate that, sir. Thank you so much for them. Tomorrow we're leaving for the Middle East. It's going to be your first trip there. What do you want to achieve with this trip?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, we're going to be traveling to Saudi Arabia; I'll be having discussions with King Abdullah. And then we'll travel to Cairo, in which I am delivering on a promise I made during the campaign to provide a framework, a speech of how I think we can remake relations between the United States and countries in the Muslim world.

Now, I think it's very important to understand that one speech is not going to solve all the problems in the Middle East. And so I think expectations should be somewhat modest.

 

What I want to do is to create a better dialogue so that the Muslim world understands more effectively how the United States but also how the West thinks about many of these difficult issues like terrorism, like democracy, to discuss the framework for what's happened in Iraq and Afghanistan and our outreach to Iran, and also how we view the prospects for peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians.

 

Now, the flip side is I think that the United States and the West generally, we have to educate ourselves more effectively on Islam. And one of the points I want to make is, is that if you actually took the number of Muslims Americans, we'd be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world. And so there's got to be a better dialogue and a better understanding between the two peoples.

"I tried drugs enthusiastically", "if the high didn't solve whatever it was that was getting you down, it could at least help you laugh at the worlds ongoing folly and see through all the hypocrisy and cheap moralism"

Introduced April 29, 2009 is a bill, H.R. 2159 called "Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2009." The correlation between this legislative action and the DHS policy becomes somewhat ominous when you consider parts of the bill. The bill H.R. 2159 states in part:

"the Attorney General the authority to deny the sale, delivery, or transfer of a firearm or the issuance of a firearms or explosives license or permit to dangerous terrorists. . . . if the Attorney General determines that the transferee is known (or appropriately suspected) to be or have been engaged in conduct constituting, in preparation for, in aid of, or related to terrorism, or providing material support thereof, and the Attorney General has a reasonable belief that the prospective transferee may use a firearm in connection with terrorism."

The letter sent to Secretary Napolitano by the seven members of congress was a start. But, I do not think it was sufficient. Far to many Congressmen did not add their signatures to it. Instead, I have drafted a letter that the 'rightwing terrorist' as defined by the DHS report should send to Madam Secretary Napolitano.

Dear Secretary Napolitano,

Your recent warning shot across the bow with the Department of Homeland Security report entitled “Rightwing Extremism Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment” and prepared by the Extremism and Radicalization Branch of the Homeland Environment Threat Analysis Division is fair warning. Let me reply with a warning of my own.

The practice of my beliefs as I see fit will continue unabated. That includes opposing the killing of any Human Beings.

The furtherance of limited government, to the point that people like you who use your public servant position to further a private political agenda are fired or allowed to resign, will be strived for.

The support of the Second Amendment will be materially and financially provided for to the best of my ability.

I will provide unabated, unapologetic, and unconditional support for America's returning veterans. Including the wounded that are considered an extravagant cost to the current administration.

The continued opposition to allowing illegal immigrants to have any rights only an American Citizen has will be a primary endeavor. That includes opposng their ability to  vote.

I will unabashedly criticize any foreign country or organization that threatens America in any way, shape or form. Anyone that considers America their enemy will find I consider them an enemy as well.

These are the tenets of the Classical Conservative American Way. Under no circumstances will they be compromised by myself, regardless of your public attack of them.

Since the President lacks the proper character to terminate your services, I will demand that you to resign in disgrace instead.

Sincerely,

Michael DeWeese

P.S. I do not know my DHS 'rightwing potential terrorist' file number, you will have to fill that in yourself.

Email address for comments on the DHS report can be emailed to: IA.PM@hq.dhs.gov

"It wasn't a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he's taller than King Abdullah," said an Obama aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

In an interview on April 8, 2009, John Holdren, Dear Leader's Science Advisor states:

"We don't understand the system well enough to predict it's responses in detail."

"That means there is always a danger if you try to engineer the system on a large scale that you will do something that will have side effects that are worse than the dimension of the problem you're trying to cure."

The bill, under Section 4 (b)6, states:

Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed, and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.

 

"public service academy, a four-year institution that offers a federally funded undergraduate education with a focus on training future public sector leaders"

"the means to develop awareness of national service and volunteer opportunities at a young age by creating, expanding and promoting service options for primary and secondary school students and by raising awareness of existing incentives."

"We're looking for supporters," said DeHaven of Hoover, one of the event's organizers. "We're not looking for a fight. That will come later, when we have an army."

The volunteers are part of Organizing for America, the same grassroots, national network credited in large part with Obama's quick rise from obscurity to president. Birmingham and 11 other sites statewide were part of a national push this weekend by Organizing for America to trumpet Obama's spending proposal.

Dear Leader's central cause for his agenda has passed the House of Representatives. His Civilian Service programs have moved forward in more feel good and misnamed legislation called Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act commonly referred to as the GIVE Act. The United States Senate version is called the Serve America Act. The House Bill is H.R. 1388, the Senate is S. 277. On March 18th, 2009, the House version passed with a vote of 321-105. This legislation is to fund Community Services with High School through College year students at a cost in 2010 of $3 per year per American. Like recent legislation that has passed Congress, the GIVE Act includes amendments, the future ramifications of which seem to be beyond the comprehension of most in Congress. At least I hope it is only stupidity that allows these things to get into laws and it is not on purpose with full and complete understanding by all who vote Aye. In H.R. 1388, in section 6104 there is a subsection called (b). In it, the newly formed Congressional Commission on Civil Service is tasked to explore some interesting concepts.

(6) Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed, and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.

Dear Leader's Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, wrote a book a few years back. It is called 'The Plan'. In it he proposed that all young people age 18-25 be required to spend 3 months in civil service. In an interview he declared that "we would be stronger" if there was a mandatory civil service. I am still wondering who the 'we' are he is referring to. This past Saturday, 'volunteers' for 'community service' helped to 'explain' the 'need' for Dear Leader's Budget. From a story in Birmingham News.

"We're looking for supporters," said DeHaven of Hoover, one of the event's organizers. "We're not looking for a fight. That will come later, when we have an army."

The volunteers are part of Organizing for America, the same grassroots, national network credited in large part with Obama's quick rise from obscurity to president. Birmingham and 11 other sites statewide were part of a national push this weekend by Organizing for America to trumpet Obama's spending proposal.

DeHaven no doubt is waiting for the "civilian security force. just as strong, just as well funded as our military" that Dear Leader promised him during the campaign. Then he can look for a fight. Dear Leader has a web site, USAService, for the beginnings of the recruitment effort to start his civilian service. Sign up now, no doubt the 'early volunteers' will be held in higher esteem and promoted better than the 'mandatory' recruits. From our Dear Leaders official website http://www.whitehouse.gov/agenda/service/ we find the following statement REQUIRING service.

Require 100 Hours of Service in College: Establish a new American Opportunity Tax Credit worth $4,000 a year in exchange for 100 hours of public service a year.

As well as the statement:

Promote College Serve-Study: Ensure that at least 25 percent of College Work-Study funds are used to support public service opportunities

I suppose this will be credit classes for students to spend one quarter of their time at school doing Civil Service with organizations like ACORN. Or pushing Dear Leaders agenda like the current Budget push at Organizing for America which occurred across America this past Saturday reported in Birmingham News and CNN. Previously, when Dear Leader - elect Obama was outlining his promise to 'fix' America, he had on his Change.Gov web site on the America Serves page.

America Serves “When you choose to serve — whether it’s your nation, your community or simply your neighborhood — you are connected to that fundamental American ideal that we want life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness not just for ourselves, but for all Americans. That’s why it’s called the American dream.” The Obama Administration will call on Americans to serve in order to meet the nation’s challenges. President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start.

A Google cached copy is at America Serves Cache Copy From Nov. 7th 2008. A screen shot of the Google cached copy is at America Serves Cache Copy From Nov. 7th 2008. I suppose anyone that doesn't meet the 50 hours of service (100 for college age) will be able to fulfill their requirement at re-education centers. Our Dear Leader will will no doubt have his thralls in joyous rapture over the prospect of involuntary servitude for the betterment of The Dear Leaders pet programs. Maybe sweeping the streets of his ideal city to keep them pristine, or signing up more and more registered 'Progressive' Democrats, or harassing rich people ( the new villainous class for the 'O shirts' to blame for all the woes of the world ) to give mortgage loans to people that can never pay them back. After getting some flak over some constitutional conflicts, the constitutional lawyer, the then Dear Leader - elect stealth changed the web page. The changes between the copies is in bold.

The Obama Administration will call on Americans to serve in order to meet the nation’s challenges. President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by setting a goal that all middle school and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year and by developing a plan so that all college students who conduct 100 hours of community service receive a universal and fully refundable tax credit ensuring that the first $4,000 of their college education is completely free. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start.

The change.gov stealth edited and changed copy is at America Serves . The Change.gov modified text says it's a goal. Now that he is in office, the path he is on is more to the promise of the original version. For a constitutional lawyer, you would think he would remember the amendment to the constitution over involuntary servitude that we fought a civil war over. O, that's right, it was a REPUBLICAN president, the founder of the Republican party, the party invented to abolish slavery, the party created by Abraham Lincoln, that pushed for that change. It doesn't count. This is just another example of the problems in the constitution that the Warren Court didn't fix and now he will.

Constitutional Amendment XIII

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

So I was at the grocery store last Friday, the 13th of March 2009, buying my weekly groceries. Shopping went normally. Grapes where running $1.49 a pound, so I picked up a small bag to add to my bananas for fruit for the week. Near the checkout, the 12 or less line was empty, but I passed by it to go to the normal amount of groceries line, since I usually have more than 12 items even though I shop only for myself. One young man was in line, who was completing his purchase of what looked to be about one plastic bag of groceries. I figured that would be fine, he would be done fairly quickly.

I pushed my cart in and walked around to the front of it to unload the contents onto the rolling counter. As I walked around, the young man approached me. He began talking, "Excuse me, could you help me out?" he inquired in a slurred voice with an alcoholic drink smell to his voice. "O, great!" I thought to myself, a beggar. Sometimes in parking lots I have been approached with similar inquiries by beggars asking for cash to buy gas so they can get enough to drive home they say.  This was the first time I was approached in the line buying groceries, so I answered non-committedly "Huh?".

He explained further. "Look, can I buy your groceries with my food stamps and you give me the cash? I need to buy some beer. Can you help me out?"

Hmmm... this was some new type of begging. Surprised at the proposition, I replied "Sorry, I am using food stamps as well, and have no cash." He responded with "No problem, just hoped you could help me out to get some beer money, ya' know." He left me, walked over to the counter, picked up his bag of groceries and sauntered off unsteadily towards the door.

As I unloaded my groceries after this encounter, the cashier and the grocery bagger remarked to each other, "He sure seemed weird." Overhearing this, I remarked "He was drunk, could smell it when he talked to me."

"O, what was he talking to you about?" one of them inquired. So I briefly informed them of the gist of the conversation. One of them then remarked to the other, "See, I told you that's what some of them do. They trade their food stamps in for cash and buy drugs and stuff. He didn't even look like he needed food stamps." More remarks of a similar nature where made between them as I completed my check out, as one explained to the other to watch for similar actions.

As I left and reflected on the episode, I started to wonder. How did a seemingly healthy mid 20's man get food stamps that he apparently didn't need as much as he needed beer? Was beer the only drug which he was using food stamp money for? Was he one of the newly qualified for food stamps that the stimulus bill allowed? How many more such as him would be qualified with the new expanded Obama plans going into effect?

How many really sick, elderly, and hungry children where getting less than they needed so that Obama could let more people like him game the system for free alcohol and drug money? Soon the really needy will be pushed aside and marginalized by the nouveau welfare class who spend their days gaming the system to become unproductive parasites and vote themselves more and more.
