Here is what the pres is pushing for:


A question from the state media, “How can Congress pass a bill without even reading it?”
How can Obama push a bill and tell us how great things will be, when he himself says he does not know what specifics are in the bill?
Thank God for the alternative media and the Internet, so that we can read this abomination of a bill for ourselves and see the overall intentions of Dear Leader and his Politburo with this tool to enslave us all.
The bill as written, is no different than an enemy flying planes of civilians into skyscrapers, or setting off a bomb in a crowded city, and needs to be seen as such. No true American would write such a bill whose purpose is to enslave the population, control them completely and kill off “undesirables”.
Those who wrote this abomination of a bill, need to be seen as an enemy more dangerous than Bin Laden and the whole of Jihadist Islam .
