There are two faces of our douopoly Government: But they both agree on things that matter, like the big Banks, Insurance companies, outsourcing and policing the planet as well as a golf course for every General.

Tax credits for job creation? Total BS until you stop sweatshop flavored labor goods from entering the US.

There is nothing good about this new Bill and it looks like our Government
has decided to ignore the Constitution Of The United States Of America!
They will do as they please as long as the citizens of our Country do nothing
about it. The real solution would be to get rid of the Democrats & Republicans
and give another Political Party a chance to clean up the mess.

Funny how Obama got blamed for this. The offensive language was put in there by Republicans. The White House objected strongly, and the wording got watered down.

Vetoing a major authorization bill is one way to create chaos in our military, which is trying to win a war, remember. Obama didn't actually have much choice.

Obama's signing statement ensured continuing constitutional protections for US citizens.

I do not see anything good about this and of course he had to sign it.
I have not seen very many things that Obama has done that would
really be a benefit or in the best interests of the Americans.

Let's not forget where all this REALLY started.

It is a consolidation of all the different Executive Orders of Ronald Reagan starting back in the 1980's with the REX 84 FEMA program and continued upto the last EO's of modification by President Bush II in May of 2007. In those 2007 EO's a process was set up to consolidate all of the items addressed by over 30 EO's and laws into a single law. The Repubulicans have for a very long time put this together working within the concept of a Corporate/religious/political alliance to create a fascist state.

Hope you like the good news of your possible leader in Romney. A wishey washey whiner totally unfit to lead.

Sorry, I vote my values, not my fears
Every country has the leaders they deserve
I refuse to believe in the lesser of two evils or that Obama had no choice but to sign and use this on New Years Day.
Sounds to me like Bush 3
As for Romney, I dont think a Mormon is electable and especially not him
The polls lie and they lie always and consistently, they are the illusion of the Matrix.
Take the red pill, have some balls.

I hate to say this but the reality is that he didn't have much choice at all. This has been going on for over 40 years and if you look carefully for the real facts of the REX84 program you will see it is very much like the actions taken by the Nazi's of WWII Germany.

Reagan was President for ONE MONTH before he was shot and Bush effectively took over as pResident as required by Rockefeller. http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~wbo... George H.W. Bush has been the effective pResident ever since.

Reagan did more damage to the State of California and then to the nation than any other single president in the history of the country except Bush II.

And Obama doesn't hold a candle to the stuff that Reagan and Bush II did. Combined in current dollars they both together created more US national Debt than Obama.

Bush II did nothing. Bush 1 did all everything behind the scenes through Cheney

sjalan to \V/ 2012/07/01 03:43:37

Bush II revamped the MAJOR EO's that kept the REX 84 Program in place in May of 2007. In 2011 the NDAA was passed by congress that which took ALL of those parts of the REX 84 program and the EO's that had accumulated over the years as separate programs and combined them all into one.

The REX 84 program originated under Reagan with Oliver North (yep Contra Oli) and was expanded by every President except Clinton and Bush I. Bush I NEVER touched the thing but Bush II sure did. What you have in the NDAA was the cumulation and compliantion of Bush II's tinkering with the REX 84 Program.

That is mathematically laughable. Reagan didn't increase the debt. Bush, acting as President after Reagan was shot undid the work Reagan had started when, instead of holding Congress's feet to the fire to CUT SPENDING, (necessary after the tax cuts to balance the budget), he RAISED TAXES and MODESTLY INCREASED SPENDING.

Bush the W increased the debt by 3 TRILLION, more than all previous Presidents combined. OBAMA followed suit (breaking every promise he made to get "elected") by increasing the debt SEVEN TRILLION DOLLARS, more than ALL previous Presidents COMBINED and he isn't done yet.

Get your math straight before you comment.

Little by little, the government keeps taking away our civil liberties and granting the power structure more ability to act without cause or recourse. This is a truly frightening.

Obama’s New Year’s Gift to the American People

To say that January 1st 2012 is “A Sad Day for America” is a gross understatement.

The signing of NDAA (HR 1540) into law is tantamount to the militarization of law enforcement, the repeal of the Posse Comitatus Act and the Inauguration in 2012 of Police State USA.

As in Weimar Germany, fundamental rights and freedoms are repealed under the pretext that democracy is threatened and must be protected.

The NDAA is “Obama’s New Year’s Gift” to the American People. …
