Am I Missing Something?

A sitting President fires the CEO of a private corporation; Congress slaps a 90% tax on earned income and targets 73 specific American citizens; then they order insurance companies to disclose the salaries of mid-level managers, then they forbid a company from paying bonuses to low-level employees.

Who do they think they're dealing with, a bunch of ignorant peasants? Do we bear the slightest resemblance to serfs? Anyone?? When exactly did we enter the fuedal system?

Could someone please show me the section in the Constitution that grants authority to Congress or the Executive Branch to set wage limits on private citizens working for private corporations?

I've looked and looked and I swear I can't find it. It must be there somewhere, because this administration is preparing to do just that, and they certainly wouldn't try this if they weren't allowed, would they? They must be extremely jealous of the corporations in this country. So jealous they would resort to breaking the law to "keep them in their place."

If you continue to allow this unprecedented use of political power against private corporations and private citizens, the next one to be affected could be you.

You've been warned.

Show Us The Bill(s)

They're not fighting it; they don't know how to upload a file to a server. I doubt they can convert a doc to a pdf.

But here's the rub: The Chosen One (may peace and a prize be upon him) has promised, (he promised ya'll) that all bills that come to his desk would be available for the public to read for five (5) days before he signed it. It doesn't mean he won't sign a bill, just that we, the ignorant peasants, will have five (5) dyas to read it.

Congressional leaders fight against posting bills online

As Congress lurches closer to a decision on an enormous overhaul of the American health care system, pressure is mounting on legislative leaders to make the final bill available online for citizens to read before a vote.

Lawmakers were given just hours to examine the $789 billion stimulus plan, sweeping climate-change legislation and a $700 billion bailout package before final votes.

While most Americans normally ignore parliamentary detail, with health care looming, voters are suddenly paying attention. The Senate is expected to vote on a health bill in the weeks to come, representing months of work and stretching to hundreds of pages. And as of now, there is no assurance that members of the public, or even the senators themselves, will be given the chance to read the legislation before a vote.

REAL Americans DO NOT BOW to ANYONE

BUMPED AND UPDATED: Via Ben Smith's Blog - The White House is denying that the President bowed.

"It wasn't a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he's taller than King Abdullah," said an Obama aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Apparently, the 1917 commenters, including many liberals, disagree. Vehemently. And the Arabs are eating it up.

UPDATE (by Cargosquid): Start watching around 52 seconds - h/t Michelle Malkin



Another shameful view:










Except our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ

This blatant show of meekness and acquiescence by the chosen one (may peace be upon him) to a sheethead from Saudi Arabia is just going to solidify the opposition already growing and will come back to bite the chosen one (may peace be upon him) right on the ass and I hope I'm there when it happens.

We truly have a BOY president. He's a lamb amongst the wolves and they will devour him.

Americans do not bow to foreign nationals.
Call it arrogance or national pride. My response will be "Whatever."

Foreign nationals should bow to us. We have freed millions, liberated nations, eliminated nasty evil people, and given 10's of millions the chance to live as free people.

This action by the annointed one (may peace be upon him) will be construed by the radical jihadists as a sign they have a friend in the White House.

Or was this just the normal reaction of a subject when confronted by his spiritual leader?
