Congress originally authorized the CIA to develop the secret counterterrorism program that is now drawing fierce criticism from House Democrats who say they were kept in the dark all along, a former senior intelligence official told FOX News on Monday.
The program, which sources told FOX News was a plan to capture or kill Al Qaeda operatives, also never came close to being operational, the intelligence official said
Another official told The Associated Press that while Congress was aware of the program. Read More

Democrats Call for Probe Over Canceled CIA Program Never Reviewed by Congress
Democratic senators are calling for an investigation after learning Congress wasn’t briefed about an covert CIA counterterrorism program allegedly ordered to be kept secret by former Vice President Dick Cheney.
Republican lawmakers suggested that the recent barrage of complaints about congressional oversight is an attempt to divert attention from Pelosi’s accusation.
“This, of course, comes on the heels of a statement — unproven, by the way of Speaker Pelosi that the CIA had lied to her about enhanced interrogation techniques, and this looks to me suspiciously like an attempt to provide political cover to her and others,” said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, adding that he thinks Congress should have been briefed about any new CIA programs.
“To trot out the vice president and say he’s the one that’s at fault this is unfortunately sounds like a new theme where they still want to blame the Bush-Cheney administration for the economy and for other things,” Cornyn told “FOX News Sunday.” Read More
You have to sit back and laugh at the Democrats trying to protect Nancy Pelosi! And again the Democrats barking trying to be bold when they’re whining cry babies! Back to the drawing board Democrats!

This one’s going to blow baby boomers’ minds. It concerns a little-known law dating to Elizabethan England suddenly being enforced with gusto in Pennsylvania. The law can force adult children to pay their parents’ health-care costs.
If Mom and Pop can’t pay, you pay. If they have the money but refuse to pay, you pay. If you don’t, watch your credit rating sink under the weight of a legal judgment that will haunt you for life.
It happened to Don Grant. It can happen to you.

Voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on eight out of 10 key electoral issues, including, for the second straight month, the top issue of the economy. They’ve also narrowed the gap on the remaining two issues, the traditionally Democratic strong suits of health care and education. Click Source to read more.
Not looking good for Obama’s ratings!
Monday, July 13, 2009 The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 28% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-six percent (36%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of –8
Obama’s ratings are still falling daily now, and I can see him now telling Nancy Pelosi to move over at the bottom and give him room cause he’s coming down to her level in the ratings! The American people are fed up with Obama’s radical policies and big wasteful spending of our tax money.

For President Barack Obama, failure on healthcare is not an option.
With the economy struggling and his poll numbers dipping, the president who made “change” his campaign mantra cannot afford to come up empty on his top legislative priority a long-sought overhaul of the costly and complex U.S. healthcare system.
The gathering debate in the Democratic-controlled Congress will be the biggest test yet of Obama’s ability to work with lawmakers and deliver on promises. Failure would spark new doubts about a president still seeking a signature accomplishment.
“The guy made big promises and said, ‘Yes, we can,’ but the question still is, ‘Can he?’” Democratic consultant Doug Schoen said. “Failure begats failure, and failure here would raise questions about his ability to lead on a lot of issues.” Click here to read more.
And it looks like Obama’s Healthcare plan is in a mess! No way to pay for it cause he already spent all of the Tax payers money on things he can not show for!
Stimulus is a Costly ‘Flop’
Republicans called Obama’s $787 billion spending plan a “flop” and said it hasn’t fulfilled its hype. They criticized the White House for increasing the federal deficit and doing little to combat an unemployment rate that hit 9.5 percent in June. Read More

Obama Health Plan Doomed by Taxes
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich tells Newsmax that President Barack Obama’s health care plan will lead to a “red-tape-ridden” national insurance program — and says having bureaucrats make decisions on people’s health care is “profoundly wrong.”
He also predicted that Democrats won’t be able to pass the health care plan by Congress’ August recess because Americans won’t stand for the massive tax increases it will entail. Read More

The administration’s “Green Jobs” czar, Van Jones, has a “very checkered past” deep-rooted in radical politics, including black nationalism, anarchism, and communism. The broadcast network newscasts have mostly failed to report on Mr. Jones’s past political affiliations which are lock-step with the network’s downplay of coverage regarding President Obama’s associations with the former radical and terrorist William Ayers during the election.

Prison officials, citing guidance from the FBI, determined that passages in “Dreams from My Father” and “The Audacity of Hope” contain information that could damage national security.
The federal government’s most secure prison has determined that two books written by President Barack Obama contain material “potentially detrimental to national security” and rejected an inmate’s request to read them.
Prison officials cite specific pages – but not specific passages – in the books that they deem objectionable. They include one page in Obama’s 1995 book, “Dreams from My Father,” and 22 separate pages in his policy-oriented 2006 book, “The Audacity of Hope.” It was not immediately obvious what passages might have been deemed problematic, though nearly half of the pages cited are in a chapter devoted to foreign affairs.

Good for the Supermax Prison to let the American people know about this! Which I don’t think that is the only way Obama has damage national security! Cuting our defense and giving millions of tax payers money to Hamas is another along with printing money we don’t have which will inflate the dollar! He is a weak leader as Jimmy Carter was. Jimmy Carter only lasted 4 years!

An American who left the United States to join an Al Qaeda-linked group in Somalia is strongly condemning President Obama’s efforts to seek “a new beginning” with the Muslim world, mocking Obama’s “magic of charisma” and warning of more attacks against U.S. interests.
The 20-minute audiotape, called “The Beginning of the End,” was posted Thursday on several jihadist web sites as a direct response to Obama’s much-publicized speech in Cairo on June 4, when he promised “a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world.” Read More
