The U.S. Secret Service is looking into a violent rant by "Catch Scratch Fever" rocker Ted Nugent in which he denounced President Barack Obama and his top advisers as "evil" and urged National Rifle Association members to help "chop their heads off in November."
"I'll tell you this right now: If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year," Nugent said. "We need to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November. Any questions?"READ THE FULL STORY AT ABC NEWS
First lady Michelle Obama hit the campaign trail in Nashville on Tuesday and told a packed crowd in a downtown office building that the campaign has an "amazing story to tell."
"This President has brought us out of the dark and into the light," she said. "But we need each and every one of you as fired up as you’ve been."
The first lady made roughly the same stump speech of recent weeks, chronicling the acomplishments of her husband's first term, from the auto industry rescue to health care reform, ending the war in Iraq and the killing of Osama bin Laden. In a roughly 26-minute speech to a crowd of about 450, she also appealed to women voters, highlighting her husband's signing of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.
Obama in Colombia to scout out potential vacation spots for his family.
As his trip to Colombia for a 33-country Summit of the Americas had already been tainted by a Secret Service prostitution scandal, Obama faced fierce criticism from Latin American leaders. Colombian and Brazilian leaders criticized the bailout efforts, contending that America’s programs to jumpstart the economy have hurt foreign trade by raising the price of goods sold to the U.S.
During the Summit, Obama, attempting to appeal to the local crowd, let loose that “part of his job is to scout out” where he wants to bring Michelle back for vacation. No Obama, that is not part of your job.
SHARE this post to help Obama go on a permanent vacation !!!

As the for the "millionaires tax" the president wants to impose, "I don't like someone telling me I'm not paying my fair share of taxes," Pickens said.
The leaks continue from the Obama administration with regard to Israeli defense secrets. On Sunday, the New Yorker printed a report stating that US had worked with the Iranian opposition group Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MEK). The US was apparently receiving intelligence from the group, including intercepted cell phone calls and text messages. But sources also confirmed that Mossad was helping to funnel resources and train members of the MEK. As Seymour Hersh writes:
[E]arly last month NBC News quoted two senior Obama Administration officials as confirming that the attacks were carried out by M.E.K. units that were financed and trained by Mossad, the Israeli secret service. NBC further quoted the Administration officials as denying any American involvement in the M.E.K. activities. The former senior intelligence official I spoke with seconded the NBC report that the Israelis were working with the M.E.K., adding that the operations benefitted from American intelligence. He said that the targets were not “Einsteins”; “The goal is to affect Iranian psychology and morale,” he said, and to “demoralize the whole system—nuclear delivery vehicles, nuclear enrichment facilities, power plants.” Attacks have also been carried out on pipelines. He added that the operations are “primarily being done by M.E.K. through liaison with the Israelis, but the United States is now providing the intelligence.”
President Obama surrounded himself with wealthy taxpayers and invoked the name of Ronald Reagan Wednesday as he made another pitch for Congress to raise taxes on people with incomes of more than $1 million.
“It’s not that these folks are excited about paying more taxes,” Mr. Obama said of the eight executives who stood with him on a stage at the White House. “I have yet to meet people who just love to pay taxes.”

But the president again urged the Senate, in at least his 21st comments on the tax hike since last fall, to approve the so-called “Buffett rule” when lawmakers vote on Monday. The legislation would require people with income over $1 million to pay at least 30 percent in federal income taxes. It’s named for billionaire investor Warren Buffett, who says it’s not fair for him to pay a lower percentage of taxes than his secretary.
But Senate Minority Leader MItch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, said the president is wasting his time, and hurting the economic recovery to boot.
“With millions out of work, gas at nearly $4 a gallon, and the election still seven months away, Republicans are calling on the president to join us in support of the dozens of jobs and energy bills that have passed the House but are stalled in the Democrat-led Senate,” Mr. McConnell said. “We should be focused on jobs and energy legislation that can pass — not tax-hike show votes designed to fail.”
Mr. Obama, whose rationale for the tax hike has shifted from the need for deficit reduction to the need for tax fairness, cited both reasons and threw in the impact of the Buffett rule on economic growth Wednesday in trying to justify the tax increase.
“Right now we’ve got significant deficits that are going to have to be closed,” Mr. Obama said. “Right now we have significant needs if we want to continue to grow this economy. … That means we can’t afford to keep spending more money on tax cuts for wealthy Americans who don’t need them and weren’t even asking for them.”
The campaign of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, criticized the White House for not being able to keep its story straight on the justification for the tax hike.
“President Obama’s White House is still trying to re-write history on why they’re pushing a tax hike plan instead of trying to get the economy moving again,” said Romney campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul. “Maybe that’s because after three years of failed economic policies, the only thing President Obama is able to do is distract from his failure to create jobs and economic growth.”
Mr. Obama derided Republicans for accusing him of trying to redistribute wealth, although he didn’t quite deny it.
“I want to emphasize, this is not simply an issue of redistributing wealth,” Mr. Obama said. “This is not just about fairness, this is about growth. It is also about making investments we need to succeed. And it’s about we as a country being willing to pay for those investments and closing our deficits.”
The legislation would raise about $47 billion over 10 years, while Mr. Obama’s annual budgets have been running deficits of more than $1 trillion. The president acknowledged that adopting the Buffett rule wouldn’t close deficits by itself, but said that’s no reason to reject it.
“The Buffett rule is something that will get us moving in the right direction,” he said.
Mr. Obama called on Republican lawmakers to drop their “reflexive” opposition to tax increases, and maintained that President Reagan supported a similar tax hike in 1985 by closing loopholes in the tax code.
“I’m not the first president to call for this idea that everybody’s got to do their fair share,” he said. “Some years ago, one of my predecessors traveled across the country, pushing for the same concept. That wild-eyed, socialist, tax-hiking class warrior was Ronald Reagan. He thought that in America, the wealthiest should pay their fair share.”
President Obama has allocated $500 million to the IRS to prepare for ObamaCare, a move that’s drawn criticism from Republicans who would rather wait until the Supreme Court rules on the law in June.
Laura Ingraham commented on Fox and Friends, saying that she’s not surprised because “If Washington has access to money, Washington will spend money.”
She continued, “Even for an election year, even for a Democrat, even for President Obama it’s really kind of low-rent, right? It looks like the Supreme Court’s going to overturn this. It’s injudicious to say the very least, and I think it smacks of politics, of the worst type of behavior for an elected official to go ahead and push the spending of that money before the Supreme Court rules.” Read More
• Rev. Jeremiah Wright delivered three fiery sermons about faith, race and politics at Metropolitan Baptist Church in S.C. • Wright said Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas worships “some other God” outside of “Allah and Yahweh” (who the “same” he says) • Obama’s former pastor called Thomas Jefferson “a pedophile” • He sees “white supremacy” driving “world policy” • Wright condemned the U.S. military, saying, “fighting for peace is like raping for virginity.”
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright became a household name during the 2008 presidential campaign. The fiery preacher, who was President Barack Obama’s pastor for two decades, has since retired from his position at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Illinois. However, he’s still an active figure in geopolitical and faith movements, as his bizarre commentaries often offend detractors and inspire intense debate. Read More
FRAMINGHAM -- Federal immigration officials are still pursuing the deportation of President Obama’s uncle, Onyango Obama, to Kenya, officials said today.
The statement from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement came a week after Onyango Obama resolved drunken driving charges and a day after the state Registry of Motor Vehicles issued him a hardship driver’s license so he could get to his job as manager at two Metrowest liquor stores.
“Now that Mr. Onyango’s criminal case has completed, ICE has communicated, in accordance with standard procedure, with his attorney regarding his removal pursuant to a previous final order by an immigration judge,’’ Brian P. Hale, ICE director of public affairs.
Obama, who is the half-brother of the president’s late father, must appear at a meeting next week at ICE offices in Burlington to discuss his deportation, according to a person with direct knowledge of his case.
It is unclear whether he will ultimately be deported. Obama’s immigration lawyer has said in the past that he intends to fight it.
Obama was last ordered deported in 1992. But he never left. He arrived today at his house in Framingham carrying grocery bags and wearing a baseball cap. He rushed inside without comment.
Obama appeared last Tuesday in Framingham District Court and admitted that his blood alcohol level was 0.14 when he was arrested by Framingham Police Officer Val Krishtal on Aug. 24. A judge continued the case without a finding for one year, meaning it will be dismissed if Obama’s record stays clean.READ THE FULL STORY AT THE BOSTON GLOBE
President Obama's uncle has reportedly been granted a hardship driver's license by the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles just a week after he lost the right to drive for 45 days in a deal in a drunken driving case.
The license granted Monday allows 67-year-old Onyango Obama to drive from noon to midnight to get to work as manager of a Framingham liquor store.
Obama convinced a hearing officer that the inability to drive would pose a hardship on his job working for Conti Liquors, the Boston Herald reported.
Registry spokeswoman Sara Lavoie told the newspaper that Obama "met all of the criteria" to qualify for the hardship license, including a letter from his employer and proof he was enrolled in an alcohol treatment program.
Obama is the half brother of the president's late father. He was arrested in Framingham in August after a police officer said he made a rolling stop at a stop sign and nearly caused the officer's cruiser to crash into Obama's sport utility vehicle. Police said Obama registered 0.14 on a blood-alcohol test, above the state's legal limit of 0.08.
At a hearing last week, Obama did not plead guilty but acknowledged Massachusetts prosecutors had enough evidence to convict him.
A judge continued the case for one year without a finding, meaning that if he does not get arrested during that time, the charge will be dismissed. A judge also ordered him to attend a driver alcohol education program.
Onyango Obama, who is from Kenya, is also appealing a deportation order that dates to 1992, when he failed to renew his application to remain in the U.S.

William Ayers, in a pep talk to an Occupy Wall Street gaggle, said he wakes up every morning thinking about how he's going to end capitalism -- though he acknowledged he goes to bed "every night disappointed." The co-founder of the radical, Vietnam-era Weather Underground was videotaped chatting up what was identified as an Occupy Union Square group this past week in New York City. In the tape, he told the crowd that he doesn't consider himself an optimist or a pessimist. Rather, he said: "I get up every morning thinking, today I'm gonna make a difference. Today I'm gonna end capitalism. Today I'm gonna make a revolution. I go to bed every night disappointed, but I'm back again tomorrow. That's the only way you can do it." Ayers' past ties to President Obama stirred trouble for the Democratic candidate when he was running in 2008. The two worked together on a charitable board starting in the mid-1990s, and Ayers once hosted a campaign event for Obama when he first ran for the Illinois Senate. Obama, though, distanced himself from Ayers. And Ayers himself wrote in late 2008 that the two were not close.
WASHINGTON, March 29, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In an unusually candid video addressed to Planned Parenthood, President Obama assured the billion-dollar abortion organization of his continued support and touted his record blocking efforts to defund the group by pro-life “professional politicians.”
“For you and for most Americans, protecting women’s health is a mission that stands above politics,” said the president in a video posted to Youtube by the Planned Parenthood Action Fund. “Yet in the past year you’ve had politicians who want to deny millions of women the care they rely on, and inject themselves into decisions that are best made between a woman and her doctor.”
The affirmation comes amidst an onslaught of bad publicity for the abortion giant in recent months: The group is now under federal investigation after reports alleged that it has engaged in systematic Medicaid fraud, abused other federal funds, and routinely evaded state abortion laws. Read More

Barracuda Brigade respectfully suggests that every American ask themselves the following questions:
1. Does this policy of "My Re-Election First" infest all other policy decisions of our day including but not limited to: Iran, Israel, North Korea, Pipelines, Energy development and all decisions regarding Iraq & Afghanistan ?
2. Exactly what does the term "Flexibility" in regards to American interest mean ?
3. Any positions taken by Obama from this point forward, will you be sure they are authentic or part of his "Flexibility Policy ???"
4. Can anyone find in the Constitution a provision stating, "My Re-Election superceeds the respsibilties and duties of the Office of President of the United States," as laid out by the Constitution ???
