  • I heard a good one on Bob and Tom this morning, Obama is only doing this because he enjoys that "New czar smell". I thought it was funny.

  • Stay on this! This is the most outrageous story of this sickening administration. We are allowing Present Obama to end run his own Congress, the czars answer to only Obama. We are paying for the destruction of what is left of our own freedoms.

  • You are absolutely right. It will become a circus. I'm tired, so very tired. " Oh well, I can't think of it now. I'll think of it tomorrow. Afterall, tomorrow is another day." (closing music and credits)

  • The blog has posted the wrong link to "human manifesto." This link belongs to another author that plagiarized the name of the book and the concept from the original "The Human Manifesto" by Rev. Richard Skaff that was published in 2007.

    The Human Manifesto by Skaff can be purchased on Amazon.com or other book websites. The reason I know that because I purchased the original human manifesto which was a fabulous book.

    You need to correct this error.

    Hey Dave, thanks for posting the accurate job titles. With these titles how much authority do they carry? If any at all it is a direct and clear violation of law. ANY appointee to a cabinet or sub-cabinet level HAS to be approved by the senate. Just another way that Obama is breaking the law.

    On a lighter note, Why is it so bad to call Obama a liar? We all seen one of the first lies he ever told as he became president. You know, the one where he swore to uphold the constitution with his hand on the bible. Why would we expect any less now?

  • Lawrence1234: You have corrected it for me. Thanks. Actually, when I did this research it was very very confusing because, like you, I knew that there was another Human Manifesto and I saw it repeatly online by Rev. Skaffs. But this title also kept coming up by other people. So I apologize for giving the wrong address. I looked at so many that day and copied them so I must have not realized that it pasted the wrong one. Please forgive that.
