Former campaign rivals U.S. President Barack Obama and politician, Sarah Palin, have reignited their feud, engaging in a war of words. Palin criticized the President's style of governing, derisively labeling it the "The Obama Doctrine" which sees the Commander-in-Chief of the United states, "Coddling enemies and alienating allies."
She also slams the President's foreign policy, labeling it a lack of expertise, limiting and attributing his job experience to being a "community organizer." Obama in turn tersely stated Palin is, "Not much of an expert on nuclear issues." There's clearly no love lost between these two.
U.S. President Barack Obama has gotten into a verbal sparring match with Republicans over the latest job numbers released to the public. Days prior, a government report reflected many payrolls in America had shed jobs, yet today, the Obama White House touted figures stating 162,000 jobs have been added to the economy.
Here's hoping another inaccurate job tally has not been released for political reasons, as was done during the Bush administration, where numbers had to be revised to later correct the exaggeration and inaccuracies. Accuracy is needed to address and fix the problems.
April 2, 2010 2:31 p.m. EDT - In turn, Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele blasted the president, dismissing dismissed much of March's job growth as a product of the U.S. Census Bureau's addition of 48,000 jobs for its once-in-a-decade head count of the U.S. population.
"It is unacceptable for President Obama to declare economic success when unemployment remains at 9.7 percent and a large portion of the job growth came from temporary boost in government employment," Steele said.
U.S. President Barack Obama has gone against original statements made by his Democratic Party, regarding banning offshore oil drilling in America. For over two years, the Judiciary Report and its affiliated sites, have been in favor of the government safely exploring and extricating its natural resources.
The sudden change of heart from Democrats is most likely due to the dire state of the U.S. Treasury, with more money going out than coming in, because of spending initiatives. Former President George "W is for War" Bush broke the bank, emptying the till and current President Obama has taken it much further into the negative, with barrels of red ink.
U.S. President Barack Obama reportedly seeks to appoint individuals to 15 new government posts, during the upcoming two week Congressional recess, which has angered Republican senators. The name of the measure is a "recess appointment." Boy, Obama's on a roll with angering the Republicans, isn't he.
Sarah Palin
Meanwhile, former Republican Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, has been firing up Tea Party supporters, with the goal of voting out rival Democrats this year and in 2012.
(AP) WASHINGTON (AP) - Fed up with waiting, President Barack Obama announced Saturday he would bypass a vacationing Senate and name 15 people to key administration jobs, wielding for the first time the blunt political tool known as the recess appointment.
The move immediately deepened the divide between the Democratic president and Republicans in the Senate following a long, bruising fight over health care. Obama revealed his decision by blistering Republicans, accusing them of holding up nominees for months solely to try to score a political advantage on him...
The Democrats in Congress have been blaming former Republican U.S. Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, for the torrent of abuse, death threats they have been facing, since President Obama's new health care bill was signed into law. Democrats are claiming, Palin's words and lack thereof in denouncing violence, provoked and propagated it.
Palin's words to supporters may have been misinterpreted when she stated, "Commonsense Conservatives & lovers of America: 'Don't retreat, Instead - RELOAD." Maybe Palin needs to state she does not mean it literally.
Polls indicate Republican and Democratic voters are angry over the bill, as it has an overwhelming disapproval rating. Some want it repealed, while others desire to have it improved.
In the aftermath of the passage of U.S. President Barack Obama's health care bill, the nation's capital, Washington, which is also the seat of government, has become the Wild Wild West.
House Minority Whip, Republican, Eric Cantor
Pro-life Republican Congressman, Eric Cantor, reported a gunshot was fired through his office window. The Democrats are also reporting death threats, vandalism and slurs being directed towards them.
President Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
Once again, violence and threats are unnecessary. If you don't like what you saw, vote people out. The elections are right around the corner. Make your voice heard in the form of your vote.

Cantor: It's The Democrats Who Are Fanning The Flames of Violence
U.S. President Barack Obama and his political party, the Democrats have been on the receiving end of death threats, threats of violence and vandalism today, in the wake of his controversial health care bill being signed into law.

It is also being reported, "The FBI is reportedly investigating a severed gas line at the home of Rep. Tom Perriello's brother after tea partiers posted the brother's address online, believing it to be Rep. Perriello's." It's safe to say things have gotten out of control. However, once again, violence is not the answer.
On the other side of the aisles, the Republican party are working under the motto "Repeal and Replace." However, some Republicans insist the bill is so bad, they are unable to fix it. Hence states suing the government, branding the bill "unconstitutional." To make matters worse, consumer confidence on the matter is quite low, as most Americans dislike the bill.

Words, and now bricks thrown at lawmakers over health care vote
Today, U.S. President Barack Obama, signed his health care bill into law. It was met with fanfare from all but 36 Democrats, who did not support the measure and greeted with a massive, "This is a big f*****g deal" from Vice President Joe Biden. Oh Joe!
However, rival Republicans continue to vow to tear the bill apart, as items hidden within it, contain funding for abortions, as paid for by your money submitted to insurance companies, that will be placed in a third party fund.
"Video: Big ... deal: Joe Biden drops F-Bomb at bill signing"
It also contains other items that will deteriorate the U.S. economy if not fixed, as they are quite costly and fall in between the cracks. The numbers are not going to add up in their current form.
In short, the Secret Service needs to beef up security, as a number of death threats and threats of violence have appeared online, from disgruntled Americans, not happy with the healthcare bill.

The Judiciary Report wishes to encourage the public NOT to do anything illegal or rash, via trying to harm the President. It will not solve anything, only throw the government into chaos. Violence is not the answer. If you do not like something, exercise your right to vote.
"THIS IS WHAT CHANGE LOOKS LIKE" - HIDDEN TAXES, FINES AND BRIBES
Published 03/23/2010 - 5:00 a.m. CST - President Obama and his legion, Pelosi, Reid, Stupak, et al, have said basically that once the American people get to know what’s in the healthcare legislation, they’ll actually like it. We all know how very important it is to the President and Speaker Pelosi that the American people be happy.
One must assume, based on the President’s assurance, that once we get to know this health care reform legislation up-close and personally, we’ll be so happy that we’ll all gather on a hilltop and hold hands to sing a groovy song and will vote unanimously to usher in a new age of Aquarius.
Okay. Let’s see if that works.
Here are a couple of things I learned about this legislation since its passage that I had not known previously.
• When you buy your federally mandated, IRS enforced - either by penalty of a fine or imprisonment - health care insurance you may be buying from an insurance company that will donate a portion of what you spend for your insurance to a special fund to help pay for abortions. It is now mandatory that certain insurance carriers provide a portion of what you pay them for health care coverage to a special abortion fund – Stupak’s hastily scribbled hall pass aside, this is now law. o There is no special fund for Breast Cancer o There is no special fund for Heart Disease o There is no special fund for Diabetes or MS o There is ONLY a special fund to pay for abortions
• When you sell a home in Mr. Obama’s new and improved America a 4% tax will be levied on your proceeds from the sale which will go to cover Health Care costs.
• Tanning? Apparently Dems want us all to be pasty for some reason…if you frequent tanning salons, you will pay a 10% excise tax.
• Mobility be damned! If you purchase a wheelchair, you will pay a 2.3% excise tax. I’m sure those confined to wheelchairs will consider this to be a great step forward in care.
• Pharmaceutical companies will be allowed to pass a $3 billion annual fee on to you, the consumer, in the form of more expensive drugs and medication.
• About those fines – Citizens who don’t purchase insurance would be subject to a fine of $325 in 2015 and $695 in 2016. Individuals may be subject to a charge equal to as much as 2.5 percent of their income in 2016...
• A 40% tax on health benefits happens in 2018 and applies to premiums exceeding $10,200 a year for individuals and $27,500 for families. In other words, that phrase – “If you like your current insurance, it won’t change” was a big fat lie. If you have great insurance, you’ll now be taxed for the privilege. A 40% tax is a change...
56% of the people in this nation opposed this health care reform legislation. Your actions have proven that your words have no meaning and that your government -- a government of the politician and for the politician -- views the people with absolute disdain.
U.S. Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama
U.S. President Barack Obama's health care bill has passed. He is scheduled to sign it into law on Tuesday, March 23, 2010. However, Republicans are vowing to repeal it and 37 U.S. states have stated they intend to sue, under the Constitution, to strike it down in their respective jurisdictions. Oh, what a mess this bill has become!
The Judiciary Report has maintained for months, America does need a comprehensive health care plan. However, the site questioned the timing and the content of the bill, due to the financial crisis currently gripping America.
Video: TX plans to sue over health care - KXAN.com
The Judiciary Report would like to offer some constructive advice. From the moment the President took office in January 2009, the site has stated he needs to raise taxes on the rich, to pay for much of what he announced he wishes to do, during his tenure.
Had that tax increase kicked in months ago, billions of dollars could have been collected and placed into an interest bearing trust, to cover some of the nation's debts.
USA: Healthcare reform bill passed
Now, with the passage of the President's health care bill, $944 billion dollars is required to fund it. This is in addition to the billions in taxpayer money that have been wasted, under the guise of job creation and massive bank bailouts, where numerous individuals misappropriated and stole money.
You are going to have to rein in all of that unruly spending, as it is going to spell even worse news for the U.S. economy if you do not get it under control. Way too much money is flying out and no where near enough is coming in. That has to change or the nation shall face dire financial repercussions.
America has many millionaires and billionaires. It's time for the taxman to come knocking, especially in light of the fact, many of said millionaires and billionaires got America into trouble, by starting the current financial crisis, they richly benefited from, while middle class and lower income families suffered.
In closing, the jobs bill must be executed correctly this time. Don't just chuck the money into the corporate sector, believing it will stimulate the economy wherever it lands. Some of the taxpayer money from the first stimulus, was stolen and ended up hidden in off shore accounts stimulating economies other than the one you intended. The American economy can't take anymore of these costly mistakes.
The following videos are the contrasting points of view regarding the Democratic and Republican Parties take on U.S. President Obama's health care bill:
Video: Obama:"Help Me Finish The Fight" On Health Care Reform
Reports coming out of Washington D.C. insist, U.S. President Barack Obama's party, the Democrats, lack the number of votes required to pass his historic health care bill, which much of the nation does not want.
Democratic House Speaker and fellow Democrat, Nancy Pelosi, has been going around the nation's capital, in search of the needed votes, strategizing with the President, to force the highly debated bill through.
However, there are still notable hold-outs, shifting the numbers of the finally tally, in a manner the White House is not pleased with, as it will mean the President's plans go up in smoke.
U.S.President Obama continues to fiercely campaign for his health care bill, in the face of great opposition from Republicans and Democrats, who simply state the country cannot afford it. President Obama needs to pull the country out of the red, from when Bush emptied the till and then start thinking about health care when the nation is in the black.
His current proposals are not going to financially add up in the end and precious time will be wasted, putting the nation further away from an economic recovery.
Video: Holder: Osama Bin Laden Will Never Face US Trial
U.S. President Barack Obama chose friend, Eric Holder, to be the nation's Attorney General. Holder has gotten himself into more trouble during his first year than any Attorney General in recent memory.
He testified in Congress this week that mass-murdering terrorist, Osama Bin Laden, is legally comparable to cultist killer, Charles Manson. His response drew the anger of the Congressional committee, who firmly believes terrorists should not be tried in civilian court.
Manson and Bin Laden are not in the same league of bloodshed, with the latter's body count being in thousands, while the former's remains in single digits.
Holder also put his foot in his mouth by declaring Bin Laden will be tried in court as a dead person, prompting the U.S. military to release a statement that they seek to bring him in alive.
"Video: Political Scramble Intensifies on Health Reform Bill PBS News Hour"
U.S. President Barack Obama and some of his fellow Democrats, such as House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, are attempting to ram through a bad health care bill, which contains a significant amount of unnecessary spending and dubious items, such as funding for abortions.
Republicans are more opposed to this bill than ever and slammed it in separate interviews. Tea Parties that consist of Americans protesting, have also come out against the bill. America needs a great health care plan, but this bill certainly is not it.
U.S. President Barack Obama has launched another town hall tour to promote his health care initiative, rival Republicans are vowing to vote down in Congress. He was featured on American news networks all day. It was an Obama-thon. Seriously, every time I glanced at the news, there was Obama.
U.S. President Barack Obama and his Chief-of-Staff, Rahm Emanuel, have been getting down and dirty with people regarding the White House's health care bill, they want passed in Congress.
So much so, they have reportedly taken to engineering the demise of fellow Democrats, such as Rep. Eric Massa, who are hurting the vote count, regarding the legislation. New York governor and Democrat, David Patterson is under siege and pressured to resign, regarding his views as well.
U.S. President Barack Obama taking off the gloves
Yesterday, Massa slammed Obama and Rahm in particular, for dirty political tactics that forced him out of office under a barrage of threats, as he is a "no vote" on health care, threatening to tank the President's bill.
He is now alleging he was bullied into claiming cancer as the reason he is steeping down. Then, when that didn't work, a scandal mysteriously surfaced about the Congressman making sexual advances towards a male co-worker, which he denies. Republican Randy Kuhl stated the Democrats seek to drop the majority, in an effort to pass the President's health care bill.
Remember several weeks ago when I made the joke about booze loving U.S. House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, singing the song "Tipsy" by rapper J-Kwon. Well, apparently he has gone missing. You guys know Pelosi did it! If so, what does that mean for me, considering I made that joke.
*Looks at Pelosi* Girl, you know I was just playing, right. You know I love you. From the way you bang the gavel in Congress like you wish it was George W. Bush's face:
...to the way you blink and stare like you are doing an impression of Bush during his drug years:
Seriously, J-Kwon is missing and foul play is suspected. His family nor coworkers have heard from him and he was involved in a dispute with local rivals.
Members of the U.S. Republican Party, have apologized to President, Barack Obama, over a viral campaign titled "evil empire," equating him to the character The Joker, from the Batman films.
Republicans embarrassed by 'evil empire' Obama smear
The Republican party's national organising committee was furiously backpedalling after an embarrassing document lampooning Barack Obama and other Democratic leaders as 'evil' was found in a hotel room.
The PowerPoint document, reported by the Washington news website Politico, was delivered by the Republican National Committee's head of fundraising to a closed meeting of select party officials and major donors held in Boca Grande, Florida, last month...
U.S. President Barack Obama took a jab at former campaign rival, Republican senator, John McCain, by reminding him the election is over, when the latter told the former the Congress should give Americans a more fair deal in health care. That really was not necessary.
