A good portion saw thru him; Just not enough to keep him out. It was the I'm gonna steal from the Working people to give the freeloaders what they want. Only reason why their turning their backs now is they didn't get their cars and houses paid for by Obama.
I won't hold my breath on this. Because if they have even one mistake drilling like they did in the Gulf then Obama will just shut down all drilling and then what?
Given his pension to stop all drilling in the gulf would not be long till he stops all production. Also I give it about 5 min and the envirowennies will have a billion lawsuits up to stop them from drilling before it even starts due to some unheard of bacteria that was discovered just the day before the drill is expected to hit the dirt.
How is this helping the Poor Dude? Is it part of the Share the wealth Obama wanted? What say you?
AP sources: Obama to propose cuts in heating aid
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama wants to cut $2.5 billion from a $5 billion home heating aid program for the poor, two people familiar with his 2012 budget proposal said Wednesday, halving the popular fund as he looks for places to rein in federal spending.
The proposal would cut the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program to its 2008 level of about $2.5 billion.
The individuals, including a congressional aide who was briefed on the proposal, discussed the details on condition of anonymity because Obama's spending plan has not been issued. It was being released on Monday, and covers the budget year beginning Oct. 1.
Separately, House Republicans on Wednesday outlined a plan for $35 billion in immediate spending cuts that would practically eliminate the program's contingency fund, cutting it by $400 million. The fund totaled $490 million, according to the program's website.
Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., urged Obama not to cut the funding. He said more than 3 million families would lose assistance.
"I've always supported serious efforts to restore fiscal sanity, but in the middle of a brutal, even historic, New England winter, home heating assistance is more critical than ever to the health and welfare of millions of Americans, especially senior citizens," Kerry said.
Obama has said tough choices must be made about how to spend scarce federal dollars to rein in spending and reduce the budget deficit and the nation's mounting debt.
The spending proposal was first reported by National Journal.
The association of state officials who administer the heating program says the number of households needing help paying energy bills is expected to hit a record high this year for the third straight year.
The National Energy Assistance Directors' Association opposes any program cuts. It says the number is expected to climb to 8.9 million households, up from 8.3 million last year and 7.7 million the year before. The association blames the increases on the weak economy and continued high energy prices.
Oops let's freeze the poor who can't afford to heat their homes.
Your right No one is above reproach but International law is what it is. And Bush has Immunity from prosecution from His actions while in Office and afterward. That is the law.
You do realize that every major city that is ran by democrats has made them sanctuary cities and it is virtually impossible for the US CBP to enforce the laws. Right?
Remember Dude is a socialist. Taxes don't mater he sees it as being something we should all volunteer to offer. Maybe say 75% of our income. Redistribution of wealth from the ones that worked their asses of to those that sit on their asses.

Not if I was to say what I think. The thread might be safe but I'll end up in the dustbin of free flowing electrons.
