The President and his minions are flocking across the
country and the airwaves proclaiming the recent problems of the White House as
being “phony scandals” designed by the Republican Party to distract from the
more important much more needed solutions of Washington, such as jobs and the economy.
COMMENTS:
Arguably, the correct scenario is that the IRS’ illegal refusal
to issue tax exempt status to 501 (c) 4 caused those organizations to be less
effective in the 2012 elections and thereby contributed to Obama’s win. Arguably, the Justice Department’s illegal gathering
of information on the Associated Press and other journalistic organizations, (who
knows whether or not that includes monitoring of GOP Campaign officers and
offices), contributed inside information to the Democrats and Obama’s win. Arguably, you can say the same for the NSA
data center. Arguably, and this is a
major, major point, had we known what went down at the Benghazi Massacre, (and
we still don’t over ten months later), the election would have gone to
Romney. Arguably, therefore, the November 2012 Presidential Election
is the REAL phony cow in the
room. Wanna’ sit down in the Rose Garden
and discuss this over a beer, Barry old chap?
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Whatever happened with all of those homes we bailed out
from foreclosure? Since the
Administration isn’t jumping up and down with glee and pointing to success, I
figure something went badly wrong? (Olga
~ Minnetonka, MN)
A. There were 1.2 million home loans bailed out. Of those, more than 306,000 are in
foreclosure again with 88,000 more about to get there. The re-defaults have cost taxpayers some $815
million, according to SIGTARP. So far, the Treasury Department has allocated
$19.1 billion to HAMP, and $4.4 billion has been spent. The program was
recently extended for another two years, until the end of 2015. I wonder if we can foreclose on the White
House?
Q. I just learned that most of the 1.6 billion rounds of
ammunition ordered by the Department of Homeland Security for “training
purposes” are hollow-point bullets designed to kill. What in the hell is going on? (Luther ~ Santa Clara, CA)
A. Evidently, they either plan on killing someone or they
don’t want you to have the ammunition to kill someone. In Obama’s eyes, there’s more than one route
to gun control; if you can’t control gun ownership, control the supply of
ammunition. There is a law that
ammunition manufacturers have to honor government requisitions before civilian
purchases, for obvious military reasons.
They currently have enough ammo on hand to last them through two or three world
wars.
Q. Back when they had the Gulf Oil Spill in 2010, Halliburton
was blamed for creating a bad blow-out prevention system. Whatever happened with that? (Horatio ~ Nogales, AZ)
A. For some strange reason, all of the records regarding the
cement work on that well were inadvertently lost or destroyed. After a whole lot of screaming and yelling,
Halliburton has agreed to plead guilty to destroying those files and is paying
a hefty fine. Wouldn’t it be great if we
could have the prosecutors working that case go after the Fast & Furious or
the Benghazi Massacre story?
