Ed Schultz Exposes The GOP Plan To Undo Obamacare/ACA...Republicans Are At Most LIARS

ED SCHULTZ CAME BACK...

came back hard and exposed the new GOP plot to undo Obamacare ie ACA.  I'm not going to do a lot

The Shameless Party Of Wall St And The 1% The Liars On The Right

of commentary on this. I will say this; Ed has it right.  we actually have a political party, the Republican Wall Street 1% Party, that literally for financial gain, and hatred of President Obama want to kick young people off their parents insurance before they are 26 years old, take away protections for people with preexisting health conditions, take away health care from America's children, take away health care insurance from 30 million Americans...

HERE'S ED...

Creating A 21st Century Immigration System...Crossposted From WhiteHouse.Gov

I'M EXCITED ABOUT...

"deferred action" status and a work permits.  I'm excited because right now, dreamers that meet this criteria,

Obama Executive Action On Dream Act

the fight that we've joined.  I'm excited because dreamers are now getting the opportunity of

"...brought to the U.S. before they were 16 years of age; can prove they have been here continuously for the past five years; graduated from high school, completed a G.E.D., or are presently enrolled in high school or a G.E.D. program; are at least 15 but less than 31 years of age and not have been convicted of any serious crimes; allowed to stay here.  President Obama did this by executive order August 15, 2012.

Estoy emocionado porque ahora mismo, soñadores que cumplan con este criterio,

"... llevado a los EE.UU. antes de cumplir los 16 años de edad, se puede demostrar que han estado aquí de forma continua durante los últimos cinco años, se graduó de la preparatoria, completado un GED, o están actualmente matriculados en la escuela secundaria o un programa de GED; son por lo menos 15, pero menos de 31 años de edad y no haber sido condenados por ningún delito grave;. permitido permanecer aquí el presidente Obama hizo al decreto 15 de agosto 2012.

I'M EXCITED BECAUSE... 

"...The President’s plan builds a smart, effective immigration system that continues efforts to secure our borders and cracks down on employers who hire undocumented immigrants. It’s a plan that requires anyone who’s undocumented to get right with the law by paying their taxes and a penalty, learning English, and undergoing background checks before they can be eligible to earn citizenship. It requires every business and every worker to play by the same set of rules. ..."

STREAMLINING LEGAL IMMIGRATION

Legal immigration should be simple and efficient. The President’s proposal provides visas to foreign entrepreneurs looking to start businesses here, helps the most promising foreign graduate students in science and math stay in this country after graduation, and reunites families in a timely and humane manner.

EARNED CITIZENSHIP

The President’s proposal provides undocumented immigrants with a legal way to earn citizenship so they can come out of the shadows. It holds them accountable by requiring they pass background checks, pay taxes and a penalty, go to the back of the line, and learn English. It requires everyone to play by the same rules. Whitehouse.gov



I'm excited about this fight because it is worth the battle.  America has always been a Nation of immigrants.  All those who selfishly oppose it with a faux nativism message.  Are only lying to themselves and those that hear them.  For after all they are the descendants of immigrants.  So, now the fight is on and we must remain vigilant.

Estoy emocionado por esta pelea porque vale la pena la lucha. Estados Unidos siempre ha sido una nación de inmigrantes. Todos aquellos que egoístamente se oponen a ella con un mensaje falso nativismo. Sólo están mintiendo a sí mismos y los que los escuchan. Porque después de todo, son los descendientes de los inmigrantes. Así pues, ahora la lucha está encendido y que debe permanecer vigilante.

The Moore Oklahoma Natural Disaster...Climate Change Exemplified

CLIMATE CHANGE IS...

now sufficiently denied for the GOP led Congress to do nothing about. Due climate change deniers, Fox News, Republican Lawmakers, faux climate scientist, and the ignorant hick Sarah Palin,

"...Global warming isn't happening, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) argued over the weekend, pointing to the fact that it was snowing in Alaska in May...." "..."Global warming my gluteus maximus," ..."Sarah Palin via Facebook

I suppose since it's cold in Alaska and there is a blizzard taking place there, Sarah has confused the coldness with the word "warming" in Global Warming.  What she obviously doesn't get is that global warming means that the atmosphere is heating up, but it also means extreme weather in different places, hurricanes mixed with blizzards,  and EF 5 Twisters with winds 200 miles per hour. It doesn't just mean that our winters will be colder and longer and crazier.

THE GOP TALKINGPOINT...

for climate change when extreme storms and weather hits and causes destruction, is quite similar as it is when America talks about gun control, when tragedy's like Newtown Conneticut hits..

"...Now is not the time to talk about Climate Change!!!..."

SHOULD WE BLAME THE MOORE OKLAHOMA DISASTER ON CLIMATE CHANGE...

Bill Nye the Science Guy tweeted this,

Back to CNN midnight @piersmorganlive. Tornado 2 miles wide. More energy in the atmosphere- means more trouble.
— Bill Nye (@TheScienceGuy) May 21, 2013

The Atlantic Wire reported,

"...there is legitimate debate on the role warmer temperatures may have played in events like Monday's tornado in Moore, Oklahoma. Was the massive storm an inevitable side effect of higher atmospheric temperatures, or was it simply a bad storm, like so many before?..." Atlantic Wire

Climate Scientist said,

"...The factors that contribute to tornado formation are complicated. [Princeton's Michael] Oppenheimer and other experts agree that one key ingredient, the energy-building mix of heat and humidity, will become more common as the climate warms. But ample debate remains around how climate change may affect other elements, in particular the prerequisite twisting of the wind. Harold Brooks, a scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Severe Storms Laboratory, suggested that lateral wind shear, which organizes storms, could actually become less favorable for tornadoes as a result of global warming. Meanwhile, Oppenheimer and Michael Mann, a climatologist who directs the Earth System Science Center at Pennsylvania State University, agreed that it's too early to tell. Brooks also made another point: When it's too warm now, there aren't more tornadoes. During last year's heat wave, there were fewer than normal. ..."

Senate Judiciary Committee Passes Immigration Reform...

IMMIGRATION REFORM PASSES...

amidst the madness and Republican manufactured scandals.  Amidst all the noise and static and utter nothingness fomenting from right wing lunacy and hatred of Obama.

FROM CBS NEWS...


"...WASHINGTON Far-reaching legislation to grant a chance at citizenship to millions of immigrants living illegally in the United States cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee on a solid bipartisan vote Tuesday night after supporters somberly sidestepped a controversy over the rights of gay spouses. The 13-5 vote cleared the way for an epic showdown on the Senate floor on the measure, which is one of President Barack Obama's top domestic priorities yet also gives the Republican Party a chance to recast itself as more appealing to minorities. The committee's action sparked rejoicing from immigration activists who crowded into a Senate committee room to witness the proceedings. "Yes, we can!" they shouted as they clapped rhythmically to show their pleasure. In addition to creating a pathway to citizenship for 11.5 million immigrants, the legislation creates a new program for low-skilled foreign labor and would permit highly skilled workers into the country at far higher levels than is currently the case. WH suggests delayed vote on gay immigration proposal, sources say Immigration bill would require fingerprinting at 30 airports Immigration deal reached in House Nett netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas At the same time, it requires the government to take costly new steps to guard against future illegal immigration. ...."

Immigration reform has gotten out of committee in the Senate and now the debate begins.  Time for us Latino's to pay attention a little more closely.

President Obama's Approval Ratings...All Those GOP Manufactured Scandals Failed Yet Again

WE'RE ON TO...

you Republicans.  That's right the American people are on to you.  We're on to your conniving and scheming ways.  Not all of us.  No.  The Republican reliables either don't care that you're a corrupt party of Corporate, Wall Street, 1% tools.  Or they still believe the propaganda you spew on Fox News.  Or their racism and blinding hatred for President Obama has them in a permanent psychosis and they can't realize you are against their best interest. 

OBAMA'S APPROVAL RATING...

CNN/ORC International Survey  released this poll on Sunday May 19, 2013.  Here's a snap shot...

1. Do you approve or disapprove of the way Barack Obama is handling his job as president? Approval opinion May 17-18, 2013 (53% Approve 45% Disapprove 2% No opinion)  CNN

FROM FIVE THIRTY EIGHT...

"...Political coverage over the last week has focused on a series of stories that reflect negatively on the executive branch — but President Obama’s approval ratings have held steady. As of Monday, Mr. Obama’s Gallup approval rating was 49 percent — the same as it was, on average, in April. Mr. Obama’s Rasmussen Reports approval rating was 48 percent, not much changed from an average of 50 percent in April. Mr. Obama’s approval rating in a CNN poll published on Sunday was 53 percent, little different from 51 percent in their April survey. And in a Washington Post-ABC News poll, Mr. Obama’s approval rating was 51 percent, essentially unchanged from 50 percent in April..."NY Times

Here's the Washington post graph 

Obama Approval Rating

So all the yelling and screaming seems to have left the President unscathed.  This may not be good news for the right wing and Tea baggers and their blogesphere.  However, it will not stop their assault. They will continue to be relentless.  They hate Obama and to be truthful the hate what America really stands for.
