Democrat Rep. David Wu To Resign Amidst Sexual Misconduct Investigation

Oregon’s two Democratic senators called on him to resign, and Democrat Rep. David Wu has agreed that he will step down from office.

We thought that Rep. Wu would have to step down eventually, and especially once an investigation into his alleged sexual abuses had begun, but why wait until after the debt ceiling issue has been resolved? Why not just step down now? The reason is because the Democrats will not let him step down until they get his vote for Obama’s proposed hefty tax raises.

Rep. David Wu announced his resignation from Congress today, moments after U.S. senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden called for his resignation.

The Democrat said in a statement that he would leave office after Congress resolves the debt ceiling crisis.

“With great sadness, I therefore intend to resign effective upon the resolution of the debt ceiling crisis. This is the right decision for my family, the institution of the House, and my colleagues.”

The Oregonian reported Friday that Wu had been accused of an unwanted sexual encounter with the 18-year-old daughter of a

House Speaker John Boehner’s Reply to Obama’s Debt Ceiling Speech

This is a full  transcript of House Speaker John Boehner’s reply to Obama’s debt ceiling speech.

Read the transcript of Obama’s Debt Ceiling Speech Here.

Good evening. I’m John Boehner. I serve as Speaker of the whole House — of the members of both parties that you elect. These are difficult times in the life of our nation. Millions are looking for work, have been for some time, and the spending binge going on in Washington is a big part of the reason why.

Before I served in Congress, I ran a small business in Ohio. I was amazed at how different Washington DC operated than every business in America. Where most American business make the hard choices to pay their bills and live within their means, in Washington more spending and more debt is business as usual.

I’ve got news for Washington – those days are over.

President Obama came to Congress in January and requested business as usual — yet another routine increase in the national debt limit — we in the House said ‘not so fast.’ Here

Obama, The Compulsive Liar, Strikes Again, and Again, and Again

Obama uses a prime-time address, and a lot of lies to try and save his own hide, while acting like, and quoting republicans to gain support for his re-election campaign.

In the joke of a speech Obama gave on Monday night, where there was at least one lie in every sentence, Obama tried blaming President Bush and Republicans for HIS over-spending binge, in conjunction with Obama’s job-killing policies, which added over $4 Trillion to the debt in under 2 years, and single-handedly caused the economy down-slide and overall dept problem we are currently facing.

Full Transcript of Obama’s Debt Ceiling Speech

Good evening. Tonight, I want to talk about the debate we’ve been having in Washington over the national debt – a debate that directly affects the lives of all Americans.

For the last decade, we have spent more money than we take in. In the year 2000, the government had a budget surplus. But instead of using it to pay off our debt, the money was spent on trillions of dollars in new tax cuts, while two wars and

Whack-Job Democrat Rep. Barbara Lee Is Out Of Touch With Reality

Democrat Rep. Barbara Lee’s attack on Republicans is a feeble attempt to push blame for our current financial situation away from those who actually deserve it, like the Obama administration and Democrats who increased our nation’s debt by $4 Trillion in his first 19 months, which historically is more than all previous Presidents from Washington through Reagan COMBINED.

Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) is a complete wacko nut-job, who probably needs to take her medication and go lay down somewhere. At least until she comes back to reality, or gets removed from office. Seeing how completely out-of-touch with reality Democrat Rep. Barbara Lee really is, it would be best for the country if she was removed from office.

Sounds more like an idiot Rep has no clue about what is going on, and is just sticking up for Obama and her party’s destruction of our economy, jobs, housing, and just about everything else they have touched.

Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) released a statement Monday saying the “debt crisis” has been “manufactured by House Republicans” who are “attempting to advance an extremist agenda.”

Washington Times: ‘Is Obama a pathological liar?’

The quick and easy answer is yes, we feel that Obama is an out-of-control pathological liar.

Obama will say anything to get the slightest sliver of support for his failed policies that have made our country’s medium sized problems into an emergency by cramming through their socialist policies, and raising our debt by $2.5260 trillion in under 2 years!

Lets take a little closer look at the Debt problem that the Obama Administration orchestrated.
The liars in the Obama Administration have been deceiving the American People by telling them that the debt is the fault of President Bush, Republicans, big business, or tax breaks for businesses that create jobs, and produce goods and services that support jobs in many other other industries, when the truth is that Obama heaped more debt onto our nation’s back in his first 19 months than all previous Presidents from Washington through Reagan COMBINED.

We feel that the Obama administration put our nation in this precarious position on purpose to try and put the American People’s backs up against a wall which could then be …

Boehner Ends Dead-End Debt Limit Talks With Tax-Hungry Obama

Obama and most of the Democrats are not honestly in favor of lowering the debt. They do want to raise the debt ceiling and jack up taxes to feed their out-of-control spending, impose more and more job-killing regulations to further damage the economy, and increase the size of the government to try and make us more dependent on the free handouts, as many already are.

Obama and the Democrats have had plenty of time to get the majority of our problems figured out, yet they waited until the last second on the debt problem because they wanted the American People to feel as though their backs were against the wall, and that a Democrat plan must be crammed through as soon as possible. They did the same thing with their socialist takeovers of private sector businesses, and the healthcare bill that none of the Democrats even read before passing.

Here is the letter from House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) that explains why he broke off the debt ceiling negotiations with President Obama.

Dear Colleague,

Our economy is not creating enough

Steve Wynn: Obama Greatest Wet Blanket to Business & Job Creation in Lifetime

Steve Wynn, CEO of Wynn Resorts is saying the same things that we have been saying since Obama’s idiotic policies started being crammed out the door of the White House and directly down our throats. President Obama is the main thing that is keeping our nation’s recovery from taking off. The people who make the jobs in the U.S. are afraid to make business moves for fear of what the job-killing Obama administration is going to do next.

We agree with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell when he said “after years of discussions and months of negotiations, I have little question that as long as this president is in the Oval Office, a real solution is unattainable,”

“I’m saying it bluntly, that this administration is the greatest wet blanket to business, and progress and job creation in my lifetime.” – Steve Wynn, CEO of Wynn Resorts

“..those of us who have business opportunities and the capital to do it are going to sit in fear of the President.” – Steve Wynn, CEO of Wynn Resorts

Who doesn’t love a good

Obama’s Anti-Recovery White House Against Spending Cuts

Obama and the other idiots on the left do not really want to fix our economy, balance the budget, fix the housing market, or lower gas prices. They don’t want to cut the spending of the government, or actually fix the problems we’re currently faced with. In fact, they want just the opposite. Obama wants nothing more than to keep the size of our government exploding, while making sure that as many people as possible are dependent on the government, which will in turn keep our nation’s economy in a tailspin.

Now Obama says that he will veto the new GOP legislation designed to “cut, cap and balance” spending and the budget.
At least Republicans are coming up with plans to try and fix things. All the job-killing Democrats can do is attack the right’s plan, without any real plan of their own, other than “Tax the rich”.

Even if the brain-dead liberals took every penny made by the upper level rich people, it would still not even make a dent in the debt because the Democrats won’t stop spending …
