This crap just pisses me off… ‘We’ can’t go to the White House for a tour, even though it IS ‘our’ house, but…
Regular American citizens visiting the nation’s capital lost access to the White House in March as President Obama eliminated public tours to make a point in his battle with House Republicans in the sequestration debate over cutting spending or raising taxes.
But hundreds of K Street lobbyists, including corporate advocates who are paid to influence policy on behalf of Fortune 500 giants, saw no change in their access to the chief executive and his senior aides, according to a Washington Examiner analysis of White House visitor logs and lobbying records.
The analysis found that 200 lobbyists met 344 times with White House officials at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. between March and May.

And the latest ‘rumor’ is that DOD may lose many more than the 7000 estimated in FY-14 under sequestration, now numbers like 35,000 are being bandied around…
So screw the troops and the people that support them by cutting the administrative and logistics tail. And don’t buy spare parts (like radios), but keep funding over budget/non-realistic programs (F-35/LCS among others)… But let’s cut people and MAKE IT HURT…
Repeating myself – and you’re surprised why… ?
The Obama White House has always been for sale. It’s the Chicago way of doing things.
When the revolution comes…
This administration continues to amaze me.
When I think that they can sink no lower, be more arrogant, lie more obviously or march farther toward a dictatorship, they go and exceed their previous depths of destruction.
The security of our nation and the good of our country has never really on the Big “O”‘s list . . .

Again, I would not be surprised to see a military coup… what?… oh yeah. Our senior military leaders are pussies and politicians. We are fucked.
You try showing up at the back door with a sack full of c-notes and see how fast you make the short list.
You know, this administration is eventually going to run out of time, and unless the GOP completely screws the pooch in the next presidential election (which is entirely possible) we’re going to have a regular old president in the office. What I’m wondering is what that regular old guy and his wife are going to think when they see what the Ayatollah Obongo has done to the master bedroom by way of redecoration. Just think about that one of a minute or two, then imagine you, personally, are walking into it.
I need a drink.
All- good comments, and I agree. And youre right Jack!

I have always maintained that Obastard is a foreign saboteur. His mission is to destroy the economy, weaken the armed forces and undermine the constitution. This will create the conditions necessary for a communist revolution and civil war that will be fought mostly along racial lines.
Well, if one wants to “Fundamentally Transform America,” one doesn’t need a bunch of Trained Armed Americans who swore an Oath to the Constitution, NOT the Anointed One around, right? Just make sure one has enough Over-Armed, Financially-Dependent Federal LEOs led by Political Hack Appointees and let THEM handle the “Security Needs” of the Country. After all, if there’s a way to NOT put “Boots on the Ground,” even if that’s the ONLY way to stop something Overseas, then the Anointed One will ALWAYS take the Bully’s Way Out.
Unless he gets his Bluff Called, like in Syria, then NOTHING gets done. Or Benghazi.
So WHEN the NEXT SHTF occurs, and all the “Drone Attacks” do Squat, Stand By.
