Lois Lerner to take the 5th. Again.

Gee, it must have all seemed so easy when Barry was hanging with the Choom Gang getting stoned every day in Hawaii! Perhaps if he'd taken a few economics classes while he was at Columbia he'd have a clue what he was doing with our economy. That obviously wasn't something that happened...

libs are losers who lie to themselves

But he's so bright, clean, articulate...smartest guy in the room...just ask any leftist on these boards...wonder why his school records among other records are still sealed...

Probably the same reason Mitt Romney didn't release more than 3 years of tax returns.

Which, by law, he's not compelled to release.

Obama graduated with Honors from Harvard. He also passed the bar.

I have no idea why his "school records" are any more germane than that.

I also don't know why you folks were not so hot on seeing George W. Bush's criminal record or military records.

There were some pretty big questions about those.

so you're saying romeny didnt have anything more to hide than obama does by not revealing his records from Columbia?


idiots and hypocrites

Obama took classes.

Mitt took tax breaks.

You do understand the difference, right?

Feel free to back up your post.

I'll give you an example:

But Gingrich goes too far to say Obama has put more on the rolls than other presidents. We asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition service for month-by-month figures going back to January 2001. And they show that under President George W. Bush the number of recipients rose by nearly 14.7 million. Nothing before comes close to that.

And under Obama, the increase so far has been 14.2 million. To be exact, the program has so far grown by 444,574 fewer recipients during Obama's time in office than during Bush's.

we have record levels of welfare right now.. try to ignore or spin facts.. ur a joke

 

[bedowin62]

i didnt say how much it rose; i said we have record welfare under obama; and you're saying obama with 3 years to go only trails Bush by half a million.

lol

oh and you can bet the highest increases in bush's welfare rates came when Dems were the Majority

 

[bedowin62]

this is from your own source. thanks


Gingrich would have been correct to say the number now on food aid is historically high. The number stood at 46,224,722 persons as of October, the most recent month on record. And it's also true that the number has risen sharply since Obama took office.

Another republican investigation in the news:

Republicans blamed President Obama for a loss of an hour this past weekend. Sarah Palin said while she was busy reading everything, a hour came up missing? Ann Coulter thought that maybe we reverted to Kenya time and Darrell Issa will hold a hearing in which he investigates whether the IRS is behind this change. Speaker Boehner asked Paul Ryan if he noticed the loss and Ryan replied it was the Fed's work. Reince Priebus noted that while he was puzzled over the loss of the Malaysian airline, the loss of an hour puzzled him even more. On a more serious note, Sarah Palin thinks a bad guy with a nuke can be stopped by a good guy with a nuke, she's not sure whether everyone should be licensed to carry a nuke but she feels this is a real deterrent guaranteed by the Constitution. Representative Issa will hold a hearing this week on that loss of an hour, and he claims Father Time cannot take the fifth. More to follow as the republicans investigate issues of importance and national security. And you thought republicans were only concerned with jobs and the deficit.

hilarious; coming from a lemming supporter of a weak loser still blaming his failures on the guy that left office more than 5 years ago

Created jobs, where..exactly?

You do know that he wasn't very popular in Massachusetts? Right? He was a one term governor.

Check it out.

Romney?s Jobs Record Is Best (or Worst)

And Mitt destroyed companies.

He was a corporate raider.

You know what that is right?

No?

I guess I can't blame you for your attempt at levity, Midcan. It's been a bad couple days for liberals. That Jolly win for the GOP down in Florida is just a precursor of what you're probably looking at in the coming mid-terms because the American people have finally come to the realization that they were conned with the ACA and that it's NOT going to lower the majority of people's healthcare costs but rather raise them as it negatively affects their quality of care. Obama's desperate attempts to push back parts of the ACA to try and keep them from taking affect and letting people SEE what the ACA will really mean simply isn't working. You guys are in deep shit...

Looks like Issa's little blow up last week may have some ramifications for Issa's plan to hold Lerner in Contempt.

The hasty way he adjourned the meeting, not allowing Cummings to offer a proffer to the lawyer (which, as I remarked earlier was Cumming intention of asking to speak -- when Issa cut his microphone) and the correct procedure needed to be used when a witness takes the Fifth and Contempt charges pending was something Issa ("I have an in IQ of a little over a 100") didn't bother to concern himself with.

"Cummings, citing opinions from two legal experts and “Supreme Court case law,” said Republicans cannot pursue contempt charges against Lerner because of how the committee’s chairman, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), abruptly adjourned a hearing with the former official last week."

Cummings says Issa killed chances for Lois Lerner contempt proceedings

The lawyers who wrote the opinion have some cred: Morton Rosenberg, was formerly with the Congressional Research Service, and Stan Brand, b formerly the House of Representatives General Counsel -- and they both say Issa dropped the ball on this one.

Here's the letter sent to Boehner: http://democrats.oversight.house.gov/uploads/2014-03-12%20EEC%20to%20Speaker%20Boehner.pdf


Issa “failed to take the basic — but Constitutionally required — steps necessary to hold [Lerner] in contempt."

Of course Issa's folks reject the legalities presented. Boehner hasn't commented, and it's a new ride and another wicked twist in the How Inept Is Issa Saga.

Lerner's role was done, by her own wishes. You know what they say about opinions don't you?
