US On Slippery Slope To Tyranny
Thomas Sowell makes the point that PresBo makes a habit of ignoring the law and doing what he wants, which puts us on the slippery slope to tyranny.
Just where in the Constitution of the United States does it say that a president has the authority to extract vast sums of money from a private enterprise and distribute it as he sees fit to whomever he deems worthy of compensation? Nowhere. And yet that is precisely what is happening with a $20 billion fund to be provided by BP to compensate people harmed by their oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
But our government is supposed to be "a government of laws and not of men."

President declares war... on Arizona!
From the stealth lawsuit vs Arizona that was announced in a foreign country to the Presidential comments revealed by Senator Kyl, PresBo reserves his most warlike actions for Arizona.
The Obama administration has a lot of fights on its hands. Putting aside real wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, there's the battle against leaking oil in the Gulf, the struggle against 9.7 percent unemployment across the country, and clashes over the president's agenda on Capitol Hill. Despite all that, the White House has found time to issue a new declaration of war, this time against an unlikely enemy: the state of Arizona.

US spends money in eye-opening ways
You won't believe it, I'm sure.
The National Institutes of Health has spent over $2 million on a study that, among other things, seeks to increase condom use among intravenous drug users in Kazakhstan.

PresBo admitted border trade-off years ago
PresBo denies Kyl's account, and says he never said he would hold border security hostage for comprehensive immigration reform. But when you look back in time, you find him saying things remarkably similar to that...
Obama comments that the "system" is "unfair" for a lot of people and says there would need to be a way to secure the borders, track individuals coming into the U.S. "who may be engaged in terrorist activity" and "provide a pathway" for citizenship.
"That's going to be a difficult conversation to have and it's going to have to be bipartisan," he said. "The tradeoff is going to have to be improved security of our borders at the same allowing those who are already here to reach out for that American dream," he said.

Obama urging illegals to rat out their employers
Why? Because "Every worker in America has a right to be paid fairly – whether documented or not."
The Obama administration is encouraging illegal aliens to call its new hotline and rat out U.S. employers because they "work hard and have the right to be paid fairly." Labor Secretary Hilda Solis is personally asking illegals to snitch on bosses if their paychecks aren't large enough.

Democrats propose new budget cuts
Democrats want to appear like they are budget-conscious, so they are proposing new budget cuts. How much? They want to spend about $7 billion less than PresBo requested. Woo-hoo!
A draft budget enforcement resolution—designed to placate Blue Dog moderates—would cap next year’s appropriations near $1.121 trillion, about $7 billion below Obama’s requests or $3 billion less than the Senate Budget Committee proposed this spring.
At the same time, $10 billion in new school aid would be added to a pending war funding bill but offset through a combination of rescissions from past appropriations and new legislative savings, primarily at the expense of the drug industry.

I hope you found these articles informative and interesting.
I take it you don't actually agree with Sowell's column, interesting though it may be.
