Sorry you still need to do your own home work you proved twice your lazy now look at the debt clock and tell everyone what the national debt is. I refuse to do it for you.

Jill... Pres. Obama does not write the NDAA congress does! He continues to threaten to veto the NDAA because of the provisions that should not be there!
jill smith August 17, 2012 at 11:17 pm
Thankyou Karla for your sane response.
Aireman August 17, 2012 at 11:19 pm
I did some more research. The NDAA was actually veto proof. That's why he waited till the last minute, in protest of the bill. You need to question your source on this....
Aireman August 17, 2012 at 11:34 pm
Paul Ryan has his facts wrong, blaming President Obama for the closing of an auto plant that stopped producing GM vehicles in 2008.

OH pleeeeeeese obama made sure the provisions were placed in the bill because they were left out.
Aireman August 17, 2012 at 11:39 pm
Sorry Jill JP Morgan did not make the top 5 that year either!

QE3 is comming soon, but hey dont worry about it.
Aireman August 17, 2012 at 11:56 pm
No... He can't do that. Only congress can. The NDAA passed the Senate by a 93 to 7 vote! Do you think your fellow repubs would have let him have that kind of power? the seven no votes were.....

Regarding the NDAA, it might be a good idea to read the information on the following site, and the associated signers, first. As a 26 year Air Force wife, I can tell you that there are terrorist, both in and out of the US, and they would not hesitate to take everyone out. As far as I am concerned, anyone convicted of terrorism against the US has given up any rights, and bringing terrorists to the US for trial just makes us more vulnerable to attacks in retribution.

The criminals that Passed NDAA will have to answer for their crimes one day.
The banks and dishonest politicians are ruining our country.

When we deviate from the constitutional path we place our republic on a path to tyranny.
jill smith August 18, 2012 at 01:47 am
We need a president willing to secure our borders.
Diana August 18, 2012 at 01:56 am
Keep an eye on Florida and their racial civil rights in the streets over the killing of the young boy, by Zimmerman this will set off the black panthers when this happens then they will call Marshall Law, there will be no election and Obummer will rule and continue his damnation of the USA without anyone to hold him back. This is already in place waiting to happen.
Diana August 18, 2012 at 02:01 am
The only one that has demented slickness on this blog is you! Al/ Vote Out Republicans or whatever you call yourself, you are what is wrong with our Country, your ugliness, hate and poison to anyone that listens to you will destroy our County as we all have known it. It is your poison that makes the ugliness come out in each American, you thrive on it, breed it and welcome it. We are smarter then you and will beat you at your own twisted game. You have no play, you have no balls, you represent what every true American is ashamed of!
Diana August 18, 2012 at 02:04 am
Karla, very worried!
Diana August 18, 2012 at 02:06 am
Voteoutrepublicans: You are such a waste of time and space, you do know that don't you? Why in the hell does anyone need to answer your twisted statements or acknowledge your comments, you are on here for the sake of argument that's it, nothing else.........get a life!
Mariana Zuelsdorf August 18, 2012 at 02:10 am
Oh heck, we haven't used the original Constitution for over 200 years, however, I totally agree about the borders. It would be extremely easy for a terrorist to cross from Canada or Mexico, especially Mexico since Obama has given them a free pass and Brown has put out the welcome mat. I'm not totally focused on terrorists and do not see one behind every tree, but I've been through the Cold War, the hot war, and the lukewarm one. They aren't playing games and they aren't afraid to die for their cause, whatever that may be.
jill smith August 18, 2012 at 02:15 am
The provisions were put back in the bill because Obama noted they were not in the bill, the point is they were placed in the bill with the help of Obama and a congress with an approval rating of 10.
JP Morgan gave Obama hundreds of thousands of dollars, so Obama being critical of the 1% is hypocritical. Romney is not a billionaire, he is a multimillionaire that has created thousands of jobs.
jill smith August 18, 2012 at 02:18 am
I agree take back as much as you can, we've all been robbed.
Diana August 18, 2012 at 02:18 am
You ARE AN IDIOT with anger management, issues and attention disorders. And you are what everyone is afraid of because you are what is wrong with this Country.
Diana August 18, 2012 at 02:20 am
Obama is an idiot and will destroy America.
Diana August 18, 2012 at 02:21 am
You go Jill :)
jill smith August 18, 2012 at 02:41 am
I agree Diana, and Just wait until he starts losing, that's when Obama will show the American people what he is all about.
Aireman August 18, 2012 at 03:17 am
Jill,,, that's why he didn't want to sign the bill. Pres. Obama is a Constitutional scholar. I can see how he wouldn't want that to happen to Americans. And sorry to say.... You can't build a fence around America there is too much of it! That's thousands of miles of boarders not to mention the coast lines. Pres. Obama has sent more illegals home in just over 3 years than Bush did in eight!
jill smith August 18, 2012 at 03:35 am
Mariana, I agree with most of your comment, but I believe our government is exaggerating terrorism as an excuse for the federal government to have more control over the people and gain more power.
The underwear bomber had a fire cracker in his pants, and now we have perverts that aren't screened patting down toddlers and removing old ladies colostomy bags. This is sick, and make no mistake about it if you choose the total body xray you are exposed to a significant amount of radiation. I know the terrorists mean business but people have lost their common sense.
jill smith August 18, 2012 at 03:55 am
Aireman he made sure the provision left out of the bill was placed back in the bill, and he signed it, why are we bantering back and forth.
Mariana Zuelsdorf August 18, 2012 at 05:06 am
Jill, I think the public has become complacence after the initial shock of 9/1t. There were no further attacks, but I also think that there are terrorist cells already in the US, waiting for just the right moment and the right plan. I'm not offended or concerned about the pat down or the scanner at the airport. In a human way, I am responsible for every other person on the plane,,babies, children, adults and grandparents. If being scanned or patted down means that the plane arrives safely, I'm happy with that. The US will always be at war with the Middle East, because it is a combination of anti democracy rule and religion, with a bit of hate thrown in for good measure. I have Muslims friends who have no desire to kill me, nor I to kill them. I guess the bottom line is that if they can stop just one terrorist from completing an act, like in NY and DC, then we all win. It's really not much difference from having a home security system on your house.
Mariana Zuelsdorf August 18, 2012 at 05:27 am
Jill...Deterrent works, whether it was the now defunct Titian missiles system or the still active Minuteman missiles. About 25 years ago, bases were set up in England for a new missile, The Ground Launch Cruise Missile (GLCM). Moved around the British countryside on trucks, those missiles were aimed at Russia, It was a good deterrent; Russia blinked; GLCM was deactivated, and a treaty was signed. Keeping America safe from insurgents is not easy but absolutely vital. If we are attacked, it could mean the end of the world as we know it, and I'm not ready for that! I want to grow older and have more wrinkles

All comes down to getting the "GOLD" Balanced right in the big City Hall right? We areRead More broke we are broke! We have how many more million dollar residents, ranches, farms who pay taxes, how many more business's, triple, quadruple, on and on that pay taxes, and some very large business's at that for YEARS. Yet Murietta and Menifee with just the few they have can manage to not only put in side walks, AND ALSO ACTULLY Listen their residents, instead of call them names like Paul has been, concerns and respond to them. Hell we are just now getting some attention to our driving issues with running red lights, speeding, not stopping at stop signs, driving drunk, high, or wreeklessly causing deaths and serious injuries to walkers, bike riders, skate board, scooter riders, wheelchairs, motor bike riders, and other cars. But how many lives were lost or severly disabled until we just now the last 2 weeks have been giving traffic details for different areas, cell phone details, etc. Lucky to get some sidewalks finished in 10 years if someone doesnt figure out where our "Gold" is we all pay in. And stop calling names people at the City meetings to Paul or anyone else trying to get our City to do what its there for. By the time someone in your own family is killed they will be laughing at you for standing up asking for sidewalks right? Just like on the "Patch" comment areas, always calling names instead of sticking with your fellow Temeculites and getting us something DONE! Before we loose more lives
