Obama, his team struggling with accuracy when explaining impact of Sequester Cuts

President Obama and top administration officials are struggling with accuracy in explaining the impact of billions in federal budget cuts known as sequester that kicked in Saturday morning  – even getting called out by a Capitol Hill superintendent about furloughs for support staffers.

Carlos Elias, the Capitol Building superintendent, sent out a memo Friday reminding staffers that the current sequestration plan does not include “reductions in force or furloughs” and that “pay and benefit of each of our employees will not be impacted.”

Though not directly mentioning Obama by name, Elias also said in the memo that a “high-ranking official said employees that clean and maintain the U.S. Capitol will receive a cut in pay.”

Hours before the memo was released, the president, in what appears to be the administration’s attempt to maximize the potential impact of the cuts, said at a press conference: “Starting tomorrow everybody here, all the folks who are cleaning the floors at the Capitol. Now that Congress has left, somebody’s going to be vacuuming and cleaning those floors and throwing out the garbage. They’re going to have less pay. The janitors, the security guards, they just got a pay cut, and they’ve got to figure out how to manage that. That’s real.”

The cuts were proposed by the president and agreed upon by Congress in 2011 after Democrats and Republicans failed to agree on a more measured way to reduce the deficit. The $85 billion in cuts in 2013 to the Defense Department and domestic programs will be more like $45 billion when pro-rated this year.

Last weekend, Education Secretary Arne Duncan told CBS “there are literally teachers now who are getting pink slips, who are getting notices that they can’t come back this fall.” However, Duncan appeared to backpedal Wednesday, coming up with just one example, a West Virginia county, and the disclaimer that “whether it’s all sequester-related, I don’t know.”

Officials in the state’s Kanawha County told The Washington Post that “transfer notices” were sent to at least 104 educators and they had more to do with how West Virginia allocates federal dollars designated for poor children.

PolitiFact, the Tampa Tribune’s fact-checking operation, has also reviewed officials’ sequester claims, concluding much has been “doomsday” and “worst-case-scenario” rhetoric.

The newspaper’s Pulitzer Prize-winning group found that Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood’s recent warning that air travel will be delayed because of Federal Aviation Administration cuts is just mostly true.

“Flights to major cities like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco and others could experience delays of up to 90 minutes during peak hours because we have fewer (air traffic) controllers on staff,” LaHood said last week.

Thought sequester requires across-the-board cuts with no shifting of money between agency departments, there appears to be some flexibility in make the cuts, including $600 million from the FAA, experts told PolitiFact.

Roughly one-third of FAA employees are controllers, so furloughs are possible. But agency Chairman Michael Huerta recently suggested cuts might start on the midnight shifts or at smaller and low-traffic facilities, which would at least in the short term spare the major airports.

ANY QUESTIONS?

 

Welcome to Barack Obama’s Utopian America

As I read the curiosities of folks concerning Obama’s actions I am continually amazed at the surprise
and horror that folks arrive at for their observations

Didn’t you all know the direction of Obama as he said them before he was elected?

Did you not realize his thinking hinged on the fact that he didn’t think that the constitution favored the power of the
federal government enough?

You didn’t know that fact?

He said clearly he thought the constitutions protection of individual liberty was in need of change that sided towards government authority.

Why do you suppose he wanted these changes? Well that is simple enough, he wanted more power for wealth redistribution.

What did you think that meant?

What you don’t clearly see for what is coming is the removal of liberty from individuals by taking power in the machinery of the federal government moves us closer to a one world governance.

Doesn’t this make sense?

When you see our wealth going to third world nations don’t you realize that our control is lowered while the third world nation is elevated?

When you see a diminishing of or military does it occur to you that it becomes easier for us to be subjugated to others’ will?

Oh wait I see why it is you haven’t come to know this: You digest what the media wants you to know.

Don’t you realize that the media who sold us Obama is interested in broadcasting to more viewers. If they go from a national broadcasting position to an international position what happens? More ratings and more money!

Obama would love for nothing more than to deliver the authority of the US Government to a Global Authority where he and his cronies could control the world.

None of this makes sense to you? Why does the Obama Administration want to undo, both the first and second amendments of the constitution?

He wants to get rid of God and Guns… Isn’t that clear? Without God’s authority he becomes God. Without guns nobody stands in his way.

Did Americans go to sleep one night and wake up critically thinking challenged?

When did it become a good idea to participate in something like #OWS?

Those desiring what Obama intended to do are clearly dangerous people because of their weak-minded manner of understanding the responsibility of freedom.

Who in their right mind thinks Obama has any clue as how to meet a payroll?

Since when did a community organizer understand and master the intricacies of profitable investing?

Since when did a non practicing lawyer ever be a good choice for a capital defense argument?

Most folks who wanted Obama, wanted him because they didn’t use their critical thinking apparatus.

What they did use is their desire function or emotive need.

I have no time for folks that demand fairness in governance. I value equal opportunity, not affirmative action.

If you are surprised at what Obama has been doing, then maybe the problem isn’t Obama.

He has done all he said he was going to do.

Maybe the problem is you and your habits of listening to the whores in media that want greater profits worldwide for selling you the biggest package of nonsense sold since the days of the wonder lotions pimped in the old days of western frontier days.

I knew what Obama was all about and he hasn’t surprised me one bit. Self proclaimed smart Americans have surprised me though. I don’t consider anyone to be smart who sided with Utopian thinking or the motivations of Obama.

Preview the Presidents State of the Union Deception Address

The expiration of a two-year payroll tax cut means that someone earning $50,000 will pay $1,000 more a year in federal taxes.

So in 2013, the rate will rise back to 6.2 percent and most workers will have an additional two percentage points of their income automatically deducted from their paychecks. It’s easy for anybody to figure out how this will affect them—just calculate 2 percent of your gross pay, up to the 2013 limit of $113,700. For the typical worker earning about $50,000, the reversion to 6.2 percent will cost about $80 per month, or $1,000 per year. The most it could cost anybody is about $2,300.

Democrats Distancing themselves from President Obama’s Campaign Agenda

Hat tip to The Blaze for this story

Democrats Take Notice of Obama Campaign’s Recent Struggles

Quiet rumblings among Democrats concerned with the reelection of Barack Obama began when his campaign started attacks against Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s work in the private sector. Disapproving comments were made by Steve Rattner, former Rep. Harold Ford Jr. and culminated with the remarks by Newark Mayor Cory Booker on Meet the Press. After the Booker comments and backtrack became a public ordeal, fretting Democrats had been keeping their concerns close to the chest. Following a strong few weeks by the Romney campaign and several setbacks for the president, high profile figures in the president’s party are once again making noise.

James Carville, Democratic consultant and former top campaign advisor for President Bill Clinton, appeared on Good Morning America Wednesday where he said he is “worried” that President Obama’s economic message has been ineffective if not a detriment for the president among voters.

“I’m worried that when the White House or the campaign talks about the progress that’s being made, people take that as a signal that they think that things are fine” said Carville. “And people don’t feel that or believe that.”

Rather than constantly remind voters of the economic situation he inherited, Carville believes that the president should give a more substantive and optimistic idea of what he plans to accomplish if granted a second term.

“They want to be reassured he understands the depth of the problem and that he has a plan to deal with the deterioration of the middle-class.”

POLITICO notes that Carville’s remarks on GMA echo the sentiments he expressed in a research document also authored by pollsters Stan Greenberg and Erica Seifert, concluding that the Democratic Party’s current frame for the 2012 race is not effective:

We will face an impossible headwind in November if we do not move to a new narrative, one that contextualizes the recovery but, more importantly, focuses on what we will do to make a better future for the middle class.

It is elites who are creating a conventional wisdom that an incumbent president must run on his economic performance – and therefore must convince voters that things are moving in the right direction.  They are wrong, and that will fail.  The voters are very sophisticated about the character of the economy; they know who is mainly responsible for what went wrong and they are hungry to hear the President talk about the future.  They know we are in a new normal where life is a struggle – and convincing them that things are good enough for those who have found jobs is a fool’s errand.  They want to know the plans for making things better in a serious way – not just focused on finishing up the work of the recovery.

The growing concern about the president‘s ability to present a clear and attractive economic message comes as much media coverage over the last few days has focused on Obama’s remarks at a press event last friday where he said “the private sector is doing fine.”

The Washington Post covered the campaign’s rough patch and worry among fellow Democrats in a piece Monday. The post reports that while Senior Campaign Advisor David Pluoffe says the election will not be about “contretemps of the moment” like bad economic news, press gaffes by the president and a strengthening Republican challenger, several veteran Democrats are not so sure.

“The bad thing is, there is no new thinking in that circle,” said one longtime operative in Democratic presidential campaigns who spoke on the condition of anonymity to be candid.

Eight other prominent Democratic strategists interviewed shared that view, describing Obama’s team as resistant to advice and assistance from those who are not part of its core. All of them spoke on the condition of anonymity as well.

Much contempt from the dissenters who spoke with the post goes to the president’s campaign harking too much on the situation he stepped into, pointing voters in the direction of a first term that has not exactly been anything to brag about on economic terms. The media has begun to ponder what, and more supporters are nudging the president to present, a policy message for term two.

President Obama is set to deliver a major campaign speech Thursday in Cleveland where he may accomplish this, as campaign officials tell the post he will frame the election as a choice between two economic visions. One that protects the middle class, another that takes the country back to the failed policies of the past.

Solyndra Not Sole Firm to Hit Rock Bottom Despite Stimulus Funding

Solyndra, the solar panel company whose highly publicized failure and consequent investigation by federal authorities has flashed across headlines recently, isn’t the only business to go belly up after benefiting from a piece of the $800 billion economic stimulus package passed in 2009. 

At least four other companies have received stimulus funding only to later file for bankruptcy, and two of those were working on alternative energy.

Evergreen Solar Inc., indirectly received $5.3 million through a state grant to open a $450 million facility in 2007 that employed roughly 800 people. The company, once a rock star in the solar industry, filed for bankruptcy protection last month, saying it couldn’t compete with Chinese rivals without reorganizing. The company intends to focus on building up its manufacturing facility in China.

 SpectraWatt, based in Hopewell Junction, N.Y., is also a solar cell company that was spun out of Intel in 2008. In June 2009, SpectraWatt received a $500,000 grant from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory as part of the stimulus package. SpectraWatt was one of 13 companies to receive the money to help develop ways to improve solar cells without changing current manufacturing processes.

U.S. Bio-Security Officials Sound Warning After Scientists Create Deadly New Strain of Bird Flu

The U.S. government is sounding the alarm after reports that Dutch scientists have created a highly-contagious and deadly airborne strain of bird flu that is potentially capable of killing millions, The Independent reported Tuesday.

The U.S. National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity is currently analyzing how much of the scientists’ information should be allowed to be published—given the inherent risks of having the information fall into the hands of terrorists or rogue states.

“The fear is that if you create something this deadly and it goes into a global pandemic, the mortality and cost to the world could be massive,” a senior US government adviser told The Independent.

Scientists, too, are questioning whether the science should ever have been performed in the first place.

“There are people who say that the work should never have been done, or if it was done it should have been done in a setting where the information could be better controlled,” a source close to the US biosecurity board told the newspaper.

“With influenza now it is possible to reverse engineer the virus. It’s pretty common technology in many parts of the world. With the genomic sequence, you can reconstruct it. That’s where the information is dangerous.”

Click here to read more science stories from Fox News.

The mutated form of the H5N1 strain of avian influenza was created by a Dutch team of scientists led by Ron Fouchier, of Rotterdam‘s Erasmus Medical Centre, and the researchers are now hoping to publish the details of how they developed the new strain.

The new virus differs from H5N1—which is only known to be transmitted between humans who have very close contact with each other—because it can be transmitted through the air in coughs and sneezes.

Fouchier, who declined to answer The Independent’s questions, said in a statement that it only took a small number of mutations to change the avian flu virus.

“We have discovered that this is indeed possible, and more easily than previously thought. In the laboratory, it was possible to change H5N1 into an aerosol-transmissible virus that can easily be rapidly spread through the air,” he said.

Liberal Outrage, an Issue of Double Standards

How very Shameful it is to see people born and raised in America as Americans waging a war against all the things that made this the Greatest Nation the World has ever known.  No other Country on Earth has ever done more for all the people’s of the World as has The United States of America.  Now after over 200 years of a Proud History these folks think we have to change our ways. These people think there is a better way and are looking to a Godless Socialist form of Government as the answer to the Imperfections we sometimes find in America. An entire Generations of Americans being taught Revisionist History in our Public Schools has come of age and chosen to believe the Communistic Indoctrination our Schools and Colleges have taught. We as Americans know better than that and us Baby Boomers are still here to Correct the Injustices that have been done to our Proud History and our Christian Values.  Our Generation will not go Silently into the Night leaving America in the hands of an Ungrateful Group of People who now wish to be known as Progressives.

DRD4 Liberal Genetic Code

Scientists Find ‘Liberal Gene’

Researchers have determined that genetics could matter when it comes to some adults’ political leanings.

According to scientists at UC San Diego and Harvard University, “ideology is affected not just by social factors, but also by a dopamine receptor gene called DRD4.” That and how many friends you had during high school.

The study was led by UCSD’s James Fowler and focused on 2,000 subjects from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Scientists matched the subjects’ genetic information with “maps” of their social networks. According to researchers, they determined that people “with a specific variant of the DRD4 gene were more likely to be liberal as adults.” However, the, subjects were only more likely to have leanings to the left if they were also socially active during adolescence.

“It is the crucial interaction of two factors — the genetic predisposition and the environmental condition of having many friends in adolescence — that is associated with being more liberal,” according to the study.

Obama Caught on Live Mic Blasting Netanyahu to French PM: ‘You’re Fed Up With Him But I Have to Deal With Him Every Day!’

In a “faux pas” for the ages, President Barack Obama conducted what he assumed was a private conversation about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with French President Nicolas Sarkozy after the G20 summit on Thursday. The only problem, however, was that the microphones the two men were wearing from their earlier press conference, had not in fact been turned off. What ensued was a major public embarrassment after both Obama and the French PM disparaged Netanyahu, saying they  cannot “stand” dealing with him.

According to a Monday report in the French website “Arret sur Images,” Sarkozy told Obama, “I cannot stand him [Netanyahu]. He is a liar.” Rather than exercising diplomacy, however, Obama hopped on the bash-wagon, reportedly telling Sarkozy:

 “You’re fed up with him, but I have to deal with him every day!”

That explains why the world has not heard about the incident until now. Even more troubling, is the fact that journalists are meant to expose the truth, not hide it.

Obama’s Jihad against Israel and America

Obama: Palestinian State Must Be Based on 1967 Borders

President Obama, in a sweeping address tackling the uprisings in the Middle East and the stalled peace process, on Thursday endorsed Palestinians’ demand for their own state based on the borders that existed before the 1967 Middle East war.

The break with longstanding U.S. policy is likely to aggravate the Israelis, who want the borders of any future Palestinian state determined through negotiations. The declaration comes ahead of a meeting in Washington between Obama and visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

All one has to do is look at the life of Barack Obama and his childhood, early adult years and those he chose to associate with throughout his life to see a very alarming picture of just who this man really is and what he really stands for.

In a blunt assessment made as he was traveling to Israel, Panetta said the ongoing upheaval in the Middle East makes it critical for the Israelis to find ways to communicate with other nations in the region in order to have stability.
