Hat tip goes to ResistNet.com for emailing the following information this evening, “This afternoon the cloture vote on the motion to proceed to the DISCLOSE Act failed 57-41. Leader Reid voted no for procedural reasons and Senators Lieberman and Ensign were absent. All Republicans present voted against proceeding to the measure.”

Big Labor Unions Would Have Been Exempt!

“Americans want us to focus on jobs, but by taking us off the small business bill and moving to this one (the DISCLOSE Act), Democrats are proving the jobs they care about most are their own. Think about it. Here we are in the middle of the worst recession in memory, and Democrat leaders decided to pull us off a bill that’s meant to create jobs in an effort to pass this election-year ploy to hold onto their own."

- - - Senator Mitch McConnell, commenting on the President & his party’s primarily partisan politically-driven ‘Keep Incumbents in Power’ Act or DISCLOSE Act for short.

Who promotes most hatred?

“Democrats are accusing Sarah Palin of stoking hatred against liberals.

“No, don’t worry, Democrats, your oppressive, unconstitutional healthcare legislation is doing a fine enough job on its own!’”

Pause & ponder on another Obama bummer: Craig Becker’s Appointment

.

With his government-run healthcare in place, our cocky President made 15 recess appointments. One in particular is troublesome as reported by AmericansForProsperity.com. An excerpt of AFP's article can be read below. Above is a YouTube video of Senator Jim DeMint's comments regarding this strongly pro-labor, pro-union appointment.

.

The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is a big Soetoro/Obama and Democrat Party backer. That union was behind the beating of a black Tea Party concessionaire in St. Louis last year. This union’s lackeys serve at the behest of this president when thugs or intimidators are needed to enforce or persuade support for some aspect of the President’s agenda.

“Just when you think this president cannot act more arrogantly, he proves us wrong.

“President Obama waited for Congress to adjourn for Easter and then he used a recess appointment to put Big Labor lawyer Craig Becker on the board that is supposed to be a fair and honest broker between unions and employers.

“Becker was a top lawyer for SEIU (Service Employees International Union), one of the most liberal and thuggish public employee unions in the nation. Now, thanks to President Obama, he's on the National Labor Relations Board.

“Becker is so radical on labor issues that the Democrat-controlled Senate REFUSED to approve his nomination! Senator Ben Nelson (of "Cornhusker Kickback" infamy) even said Becker's record indicates he will "pursue a personal agenda."

“Remember the outrageous Card Check legislation President Obama pushed last year that would effectively take the right to a secret ballot away from Americans when they decide whether or not to join a union? Well, Becker is going to try and use his position on the National Labor Relations Board to push it through without Congress. This is just the latest instance of democracy denied - the administration's continued push around Congress and the American people. Check out (Americans for Prosperity's) AFP's www.ObamaChart.com to see how this fits together with other moves on Internet regulation, energy taxes and more.

“Actions like the recess appointment of Craig Becker drive home just how liberal and arrogant the Obama administration really is. I just read an advance copy of Sean Hannity's upcoming book entitled "Conservative Victory: Defeating Obama's Radical Agenda," which drives home this point with power and precision …”

Martha Coakley, another job neither saved nor created

“The President is very disappointed that Democrat Martha Coakley lost last week’s senate election.

“Because if Coakley had won, there finally would be one job the White House could actually claim it saved or created!”

Town Hall Meetings Interrupted

“Americans have been attending town hall meetings to voice their concerns about the Democrats’ health care plan.

“Unfortunately, when they leave the meeting the main question is whether or not the plan will cover their broken noses caused by union thugs.”
