Czar War Escalates Between Congress and Obama

The White House has told Congress it will reject calls for many of President Obama’s policy czars to testify before Congress – a decision senators said goes against the president’s promises of transparency and openness and treads on Congress’ constitutional mandate to investigate the administration’s actions.
The debate goes to the heart of weighty constitutional issues about separation of powers. The president argues that he should be allowed to have advisers who are free to give him confidential advice without having to fear being called to testify about it. Democrats and Republicans in Congress, though, argue that those in office who actually craft policy should be able to be summoned to testify because they do more than just give the president advice.

Like everything else that Obama tries to keep secret, we have to ask: What is Barack Obama hiding from the American people. No Obama transparency here which he promised during the campaign. Oh well whats another lie from Obama’s mouth!
I feel that some in congress has figured out that there are some dirty tricks between Obama, Czars and his policies. Maybe we will one day see a few in congress with backbone enough to stand up to this socialist president Obama!

Obama “seems afraid” to make a decision on how to proceed in Afghanistan, Cheney said.

“Having announced his Afghanistan strategy last March, President Obama now seems afraid to make a decision, and unable to provide his commander on the ground with the troops he needs to complete his mission,” Cheney said

“It’s time for President Obama to make good on his promise,” the former vice president added. “The White House must stop dithering while America’s armed forces are in danger.”

“I think it’s time for the administration to make a real decision,” he added. Read More

While Obama drags his feet our young men and women are in danger. Obama says he’s waiting until after the Afghanistan elections, but I think he’s afraid he will upset the far left liberals. This decision delay is turning the Afghanistan War into another political veitnam surrender!

U.S. Empire in Decline

The United States’ growing debt burden means the American empire is on the decline while China is on the rise, says Harvard history professor Niall Ferguson.

“People have predicted American decline in the past. . . and been wrong,” he told Yahoo! News.

“But let’s face it. If you’re trying to borrow $9 trillion to bail out your financial system and economy and already half your public debt is held by foreigners, it’s not really the conduct of a rising empire, is it?”

He compared the United States to Spain in the 17th century and Britain in the 20th.

“Excessive debt is usually a predictor of subsequent trouble.”

The government debt burden is expected to total 56 percent of GDP this year.

While the U.S. is fading, China is rising, Ferguson says. “There is a fundamental relationship between economic change and political change,” he points out. Read More

I feel that Obama intended to bankrupt America from the start, just look back at what he has done over the last 9 months to put the country in debt to China!
