Barack Obama’s Labor pick has communist ties?

The pick of Rep. Hilda L. Solis, D-Calif., a Congressional Hispanic Caucus leader considered to be one of the most reliably pro-union voices in the House, was hailed as a victory by communist and socialist leaders.

An article this past weekend in the Communist Party USA’s People’s Weekly World Newspaper welcomed Solis and quoted known socialist leaders calling her a “great choice” and an “outstanding” selection with “a life-long commitment to working people.”

Among other personalities, the Communist paper quoted former Rep. David Bonior, D-Mich., a top economic adviser to Obama, calling Solis a “terrific leader who I know first-hand will work tirelessly on behalf of America’s working families.”

WND previously reported Bonior is listed as a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, or DSA, an organization dedicated to transforming America into a socialist society. He was a frontrunner for the labor secretary post, but endorsed Solis after dropping out of the race.

Why is Obama picking these people? He must have an agenda that they agree with. What do you think? Everything is starting to come to light does it not?

Lawsuit Claims The AIG Bailout Promotes Shariah Law

The U.S. government’s bailout of the American International Group is helping promote Shariah law, a lawsuit filed in federal court in Michigan alleges.

The suit — brought with the support of the Thomas More Law Center, a non-profit law firm that promotes conservative Christian values — claims that making U.S. taxpayers comply with Shariah, the Islamic legal framework based on the Koran, is unconstitutional.

This month, AIG announced that it would offer Shariah-compliant homeowner insurance policies, known as takaful, to U.S. customers through one of its subsidiaries. To be Shariah compliant, companies cannot earn interest and must agree to send a percentage of their revenue to Islamic charitable groups.

Well here we go people, will we have Islamic Shariah law in the United States soon? Is that what the American people want? If not you better start talking to your congressmen and quick!  This isn’t a time to sit back and say I will let others take care of it, its time to let your words be heard!

A few clouds on Obama’s horizon

d901harry-reid2omaa

As president, Obama will step into an ideal political situation, at least on the surface. He’ll be dealing with a Congress with solid Democratic majorities in the Senate and House. What more could a Democratic president ask for? What’s the problem?

Obama and Democrats agree on the big issues, but on power-sharing, process, and priorities they part ways. Senate majority leader Harry Reid has declared that once Joe Biden becomes vice president, he won’t be invited to the weekly meetings of the Democratic caucus. This had to be a bitter pill for Biden. He was a senator himself for 36 years and, as veep, actually has a constitutional role in the Senate. But, as a White House man, the senators don’t want him butting in. They prefer to decide things on their own.

If Reid’s message wasn’t clear to the Obama team, House speaker Nancy Pelosi removed any doubt. She told Rahm Emanuel, her former House colleague and now Obama’s choice to be White House chief of staff, to stay out of internal House Democratic matters. According to John Bresnahan of Politico, she was clear about what she expects from Obama and his aides, a wish list including “no surprises, and no backdoor efforts to go around her and other Democratic leaders by cutting deals with moderate New Democrats or conservative Blue Dogs.”

The subtext is that Reid and Pelosi fear Obama may be more willing to compromise on liberal issues than they are. And they don’t want a repeat of President Clinton’s so-called “triangulation” with Republicans, despite Obama’s promise to pursue bipartisanship. Bottom line: The relationship between Obama and congressional Democrats will be tense. It is already.

I think Fred Barnes hit this right on the nose! The democrats in congress along with the republicans will not give Barack alot of slack and he will have to tip-toe every so slowly as if he’s walking on red hot rocks! There are about 30 or so democrats that will stay near the center and when ever Obama slips toward the far left those democrats will let him know quickly!  Some of the democrats has their seats to worry about two years from now and they’re not going to allow Barack to lose them!
