You should take a look at the FB page of Rep. Jeff Duncan, a Republican from the 3rd Congressional District of South Carolina. A death threat against Pres. Obama was made this morning; seven hours later it hasn't been taken down. Several of us have reported it to FB. Don't know what's become of that. Michael Kiger, the chairman of the Pickens County Democrats, has prompted Rep. Duncan to take it down. Nothing's happened. You can reach me on my FB page; I'm one of the vice-chairs of the Pickens County Democratic Party. Or you can contact Michael Kiger.

Unbelievable! Chris Mathews just spent his hour show stating theere was never anytime when Obama "apologized" for the United States foreign policies and Military's and CIA's actions of capture, holding prisioner, and using "harsh" interrogation techniques in our fight against terrorism and the rogue Military Dictatorship in Iraq and post defeat of Hussein's forces the presence of Al Queda in Iraq. Wonder where he was in 2008 and early 2009!

Mathews also claimed, armed with charts no less, showing that there was NO (0) increase in federal government spending throughout Obamas first three years, although he failed to mention the last Bush Administration's budget for Oct., 2008-Sep, 2009 that was busted to the tune of 1 trillion plus dolars of deficit spending in calandar year 2009 under Obama, including the $800 billion for the infamous, non effetive stimulus of borrowed dollars. Of course, as his own charts show, that extraodinany level of deficit spending in 2009 has been continued in 2010 and 2011, and is continuing in 2012, as his Administration, without a budget to hold to thanks to the actions of the Democrat Party control of the Senate, he doubles down on his deficit spending, swelling the federal government to unprecdented size of the nation's GDP outside of the cataclismic World War II years.

The nonpartisan Congressional Office of the Budget reported today that the nation is facing a virtual Fiscal Cliff before the end of this year, especially with the end of the Bush Tax cuts and the never ending need to do something about the never indexed to inflation Alternative Minnimum Tax law that was meant to affect only a handfull of top income individuals when passed, but now would servely impact the taxes of millions of middleclass individuals...further sucking huge amounts of disposable and investable income from the nation to feed the glutenous federal government we have been saddled with since 2008.

And economists are also now pointing to the burn rate of the unbudgetted federal spending (front loading the election year?) that will surely breach our debt ceiling again before the end of the year as the deficits rise daily, perhaps as some estimated as early as Labor Day. Of course, the politiicians will be anxious to get off to their National Convention, and the Senators and Congressmen and women and the President will be off on their merry way in their campaigns for reelection (although for a large percentage of the House of Representative legislators they will be running in virtual locked up Congressional districts do to the mutually agreed upon redistricting that assures incumbants have the soft road to hoe to keep on the public payroll). A

Witness other than the occasional disruption such as the recent G-8 and NATO weekend activities at Camp David and Chicago that broke a increasingly desperate Obama's unending reelection campaign activities that he has been about since Labor Day of 2011 that there is absolutely no leadership coming from our President or the Democrat Party Congressional leaders to meet these challenges; it's all about untransformational politics as usual for them. Anyone want a law that limits terms of Senator to two, and Congressmen and women to three 2 year terms? Or how about they have their pay held unless they actually do their basic job of passing a budget for the federal government every year, something that hasn't been done since the Bush Administration. Or docking their pays by, say, 50% until the full faith and credit rating of the United States is returned to the triple A status that it has had throughout our history prior to last year, the third year of the Obama Administration and it's 2nd year of runaway deficit spending without a budget, as the last one they operated under was passed under Bush for the Sep, 2008 thru Nov, 2009 fiscal year.
