Can’t think of anything? Then you’d better start worrying. He’s done all these things in 28 months — and you have less than 19 months to come up with an answer.

Every statement and action in this email is factual and correctly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama. Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable.

Do You Have Your “Pelosi Waiver”
From Obamacare?
by Newt Gingrich

When the news broke that the Obama administration was granting thousands of waivers for Obamacare and that one out of every five waivers was in Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s district, I began asking audiences if they had received their waiver from Obamacare.

People knew what I was talking about. They began laughing, but no one raised their hand.

Then I asked if they agreed with this principle: “If a waiver is given to some people, it ought to be available for everyone.” Virtually every hand went up in agreement in every meeting.

The Obama administration has been handing out waivers because companies would drop employee health insurance without them. Obamacare doesn’t give businesses the flexibility and choice that is central to a free market. Rather, it imposes onerous mandates on what coverage businesses can offer, what services and benefits they cover, what they can charge, and how they can design their benefits.

There is something both unfair and corrupt in the Obamacare waiver system.

Having selective waivers inevitably favors one business against another.

In Pelosi’s district, these favored businesses include VegiWorks, which sells “certified organic and pre-cut produce items,” The Stinking Rose, a famous restaurant with locations in San Francisco and Beverly Hills, and Tru Spa, where they pamper the “modern spa goer” with “an alternative to body wraps” in their Tropical Rainforest Room. You can see a list of the 38 favored businesses in Pelosi’s district here.

Why should one business get a waiver while its competitor across the street is hit by the full force and costs of Obamacare?

Similarly, why should Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s home state of Nevada get a waiver while another state has to bear the full burden of Obamacare?

This kind of favoritism continues the corruption that helped pass Obamacare in the first place.  Remember the Cornhusker Kickback?  Gator Aid?  The Louisiana Purchase?  I wrote about how corrupt the vote was on Christmas Eve 2009 when the Senate passed Obamacare in my book, To Save America, where Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi took care of their friends and potential allies while punishing their enemies.

Crony capitalism inevitably gives the government enormous influence and forces companies, states, and individuals to seek favors from politicians. Obamacare is the kind of government concentration of power that our founding fathers would have called corruption.

Yet, they did not limit the meaning of “corruption” to simply mean a bribe.

The founding fathers used corruption to mean any violation of the principle of equal treatment by using government power to help one citizen gain advantage over another. This is a key reason they wrote that “all men are created equal” in the Declaration of Independence.

Equality before the law was precisely what Americans were seeking after having endured favoritism, cronyism, and special privileges for the select few under the British Empire.

President Obama’s policies begin to recreate the corruption and special favors against which Americans rebelled in the 1770s.

Fortunately, there is a solution to Obamacare cronyism: grant every American, every business, and every state a waiver so everyone is once again equal before the law.
      
Congressman Mike Rogers has a bill, The Health Care Waiver Fairness Act of 2011 (H.R. 984), that would grant every American a waiver. Individuals, businesses, hospitals, doctors, and many others should have the ability to obtain a blanket waiver from every rule, regulation, mandate, reimbursement cut, and tax increase.

If you agree that it is unfair for one group of Americans to receive a waiver while others remain trapped in Obamacare, you should call or write your Representative and Senators and ask them to cosponsor the Rogers bill. 

The House Republicans should tie the Health Care Waiver Fairness Act into the debt ceiling debate and insist that President Obama allow every American – not just a select few –  to escape Obamacare through a waiver. 

If the compliance for Obamacare is so onerous now that more than 1300 companies need waivers, there is little doubt that when even more substantial restrictions come into place in 2014, a dramatic number of employers will seek relief through waivers – or drop health insurance coverage and dump their employees into the public system. 

If the waivers extend to January 2014, Republicans will have a year to repeal Obamacare once they win control of the White  House and Senate in 2012.   

Your Friend,

Newt

This Is Why There Are No Jobs in America  (by Porter Stansberry)

I’d like to make you a business offer.

Seriously. This is a real offer. In fact, you really can’t turn me down, as you’ll come to understand in a moment…

Here’s the deal. You’re going to start a business or expand the one you’ve got now. It doesn’t really matter what you do or what you’re going to do. I’ll partner with you no matter what business you’re in – as long as it’s legal.

But I can’t give you any capital – you have to come up with that on your own. I won’t give you any labor – that’s definitely up to you. What I will do, however, is demand you follow all sorts of rules about what products and services you can offer, how much (and how often) you pay your employees, and where and when you’re allowed to operate your business. That’s my role in the affair – to tell you what to do.

Now in return for my rules, I’m going to take roughly half of whatever you make in the business each year. Half seems fair, doesn’t it? I think so. Of course, that’s half of your profits.

You’re also going to have to pay me about 12% of whatever you decide to pay your employees because you’ve got to cover my expenses for promulgating all the rules about who you can employ, when, where, and how. Come on, you’re my partner. It’s only “fair.”

Now… after you’ve put your hard-earned savings at risk to start this business, and after you’ve worked hard at it for a few decades (paying me my 50% or a bit more along the way each year), you might decide you’d like to cash out – to finally live the good life.

Whether or not this is “fair” – some people never can afford to retire – is a different argument. As your partner, I’m happy for you to sell whenever you’d like… because our agreement says if you sell, you have to pay me an additional 20% of whatever the capitalized value of the business is at that time.

I know… I know… you put up all the original capital. You took all the risks. You put in all the labor. That’s all true. But I’ve done my part, too. I’ve collected 50% of the profits each year. And I’ve always come up with more rules for you to follow each year. Therefore, I deserve another, final 20% slice of the business.

Oh… and one more thing…

Even after you’ve sold the business and paid all my fees… I’d recommend buying lots of life insurance. You see, even after you’ve been retired for years, when you die, you’ll have to pay me 50% of whatever your estate is worth.

After all, I’ve got lots of partners and not all of them are as successful as you and your family. We don’t think it’s “fair” for your kids to have such a big advantage. But if you buy enough life insurance, you can finance this expense for your children.

All in all, if you’re a very successful entrepreneur… if you’re one of the rare, lucky, and hard-working people who can create a new company, employ lots of people, and satisfy the public… you’ll end up paying me more than 75% of your income over your life. Thanks so much.

I’m sure you’ll think my offer is reasonable and happily partner with me… But it doesn’t really matter how you feel about it because if you ever try to stiff me – or cheat me on any of my fees or rules – I’ll break down your door in the middle of the night, threaten you and your family with heavy, automatic weapons, and throw you in jail.

That’s how civil society is supposed to work, right? This is Amerika, isn’t it?

That’s the offer Amerika gives its entrepreneurs. And the idiots in Washington wonder why there are no new jobs…
