It's vital that we ask questions of this Administration as it continues to insert itself into the private sector.  Most recently, it's reported that the Obama Administration is considering asking Congress to give the Treasury Secretary the authority to take over non-bank financial companies, such as large insurers, investment firms and hedge funds.

Giving the Secretary this authority would be an unprecedented transfer of power to the federal government. The current model for regulating the financial markets relies on independent agencies that are independent from the political process.

I have serious concerns regarding the role of government intervening in the private sector, and I expressed as much yesterday in a Financial Services Committee hearing on AIG with Treasury Secretary Geithner and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. Take a look:

It's for our good
that's what they saying. Socialism is on the march and we have to use our rights as Americans to stop it. Tax Day Tea Parties are growing and so is the anger and unrest all across the nation. Obama and the gang can't ignore us much longer.

You are right. People are starting to see what is really going on. Obama is trying to push us into socialism and he is on a fast track. MSM media has ignored the Tea Parties so far but as they grow in size and locations they will be hard pressed not to report. Only by getting out and showing that we are not ready to let this administration sell us out will we win.

See the Washington Monthly's take on the very same video clip - http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2009_ 03/017431.php

"Watching Rep. Michele Bachman (R-Minn.) speak has a certain car-wreck quality. It's painful and disturbing, but it's just so difficult to look away."

Bachman' new face of far right fanatics
of course she would be but she's not very fast on her feet on many of the talk shows-particularly when Chris mathews eviscerated her last year. I can't once say I've ever agreed with a single one of her points and thought that her support of off shore drilling seemed tactical at best.

that being said she is about 1000 times more articulate than Palin in person and on paper. While Palin sits around trying to manage 500,000 people(yawn) Michelle is in the congressional trenches putting her career and beliefs on the line while others are hunting wolves from helicopters and not really getting anything done but looking good you betcha.

I can respect Michelle cause she's going out there and putting it on the line in word and deed for her cause. I want both sides to have fighters like this fine woman.

If you really wanted to make a stament about conservative principles this Representative would be on the short list for POTUS nomination in 2012.

"OBviously Bachmann has the right name and ethnic ties......? What does this statement mean??????

I thought she was stunningly effective. So much so that Barney Frank disregarded the typical courtesy vs. congressional decorum, thus, would not permit an answer to her question. What an unfortunate whack from a person (Barney)who is/has been in "full distraction" mode so that his multiple/serious transgressions are not addressed!

When you feel capable of actually correcting or clarifying any of the facts I present about Michele Bachmann, mail me a card and let me know, OK?

Meanwhile, you guys just keep calling elected representatives "America haters" and "fascists" and "socialists" and calling for armed resistance. At the very least, maybe it will free up the word "patriot" a little bit for more sensible people.

From Think Progress [http://thinkprogress.org/2009/03/25/from-drudge-to-fox/]

"Earlier this week, China's Central bank Governor Zhou Xiaochuan suggested the need for a "super-sovereign reserve currency," a move most passed off as China trying to "flex some muscle." And yet, within days, Fox News' Major Garrett was demanding whether President Obama supported a "global currency."

So how did a story that has effectively no basis in reality -- and has nothing to do with a global currency -- end up as one of the few questions posed to President Obama last night? It started with a blaring banner on the instigator of conservative and media memes, the Drudge Report.

Within hours, right-wing fanatic Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) was demanding that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke pledge to never adopt a "global currency." Soon, Fox News' resident conspiracy theorist Glenn Beck was ranting that a U.N.-imposed global currency was the first step toward world government."

Raelei, you're offensive
Terri Schiavo's PARENTS wanted to care for her. Her HUSBAND wanted her to die so he could marry another woman. Compassion would dictate that if there were ANY doubt about Terri's directives, it would be best to err on the side of life. What you call interference, I call compassion towards Terri's parents.

Gay marriage: Marriage has been defined as the union of one man and one woman across many cultures for thousands of years. Now, a small minority, 3% of the population and their supporters, want to change that. When VOTERS oppose it, they stamp their feet and cry "Hate!Hate!" You call this (something bad Bush did because he didn't support it), while I call it Tyranny of the minority.

The war: Bush received intelligence from many sources and used this to make a judgement call. That's different from lying. No surprise you wouldn't catch the difference, because you're dishonest. NOt only that, but congressional democrats (except Obama!) supported the war, and if they were so easily "duped" also, why are they still in Congress???
I suppose it's pointless to link the AP story regarding a big shipment of yellowcake that was taken from Iraq and brought to Canada...
JT writes: Wednesday, March, 25, 2009 6:16 PM
Right On 'Don't Tread on Me'
You're on point about the way liberals slant the truth to meet their own needs. Liberal's plan is to concentrate on Bush to distract from what is really important (see recordnet.com letters to the editor). Nobody is holding the Obamas, Franks', Geitners, and Pelosis accountable for their absolute rubbish governance.

Vlad: From Bloomberg.com
Gang Fan echoed central bank Governor Zhou Xiaochuan’s comments this week about the possible benefits of a new global reserve currency (the yuan), saying China had suffered “quite badly” from the dollar’s role as a standard.

From Wikipedia: A reserve currency (or anchor currency) is a currency which is held in significant quantities by many governments and institutions as part of their foreign exchange reserves. It also tends to be the international pricing currency for products traded on a global market, such as oil, gold, etc. (Like the dollar is now)

Dead on Michele
Obami and his Admin has no authority under the Constitution of the US to take over any private sector. Having said that, congress is just as guilty for voting the funding for such an act.

And thanks to Obami and congress, we get this:
Jada Grace Larsen came into this world on Sunday — with a $22,000 share of the national debt, a burden some budget experts predict could more than double.

This is the gift Liberals give to America.
Don't Tread On Me writes: Wednesday, March, 25, 2009 6:29 PM
Vlad: From Bloomberg.com II
Did Major Garrett mis-speak and say "global currency?" instead of "reserve currency" because Drudge posted it that way? Does he know the difference? What if China DOES want the yuan to become the new global reserve currency (standard) as the dollar is now? Can't say I blame 'em.

YOu want this to be a conspiracy, maybe it's just a mistake by non-economists.

Speaking of Drudge, N Korea is said to have a rocket on the launch pad; Obama better figure out what he's going to do about it. And Hillary is blaming the US for Mexican violence. I think Obama needs to build a big strong fence on the southern border to keep us nasty Americans away from the nonviolent Mexican drug cartels.

I am with Congressman Bachman in beating back Tim Geithner in terms of the Global Currency. This man and his policies (and the Federal Reserve for that matter) need to be defeated at all costs. I personally believe the man is worthy of a charge of treason against the United States.

Although Congressman Bachman does not represent me, I have just contacted my Congressman, Todd Platts, asking that he supports her efforts.

We must stand together on this, or we will surely stand apart ... and get picked off one by one until the United States and all those who sacrificed for her are a very distant memory.

Not certain, but if this site is the one managed by Podesta, it's main purpose is ruining the reputation of anyone anti-democrat. Its roots are from the Clinton administration when Hillary and Podesta stood the day, eve and mid watches to ruin Ken Starr, and the host of gals who had accused Clinton of some sexual wrong doing. It worked pretty well.

Excellent job!
Michele, I live in Arizona and I had no idea who you were before seeing you questioning Geithner and Bernanke on Tuesday. You are now my favorite congressperson. That was the single greatest moment in government that I can remember ever seeing. Great job getting the "Disastrous Duo" on record as being against moving to a global currency (just in time) as Geithner contradicted himself a day later by suggesting he is "open" to discussing it.

Liberals are constantly trying to figure out how to make us weaker. If we make too much money, they think we must spread the wealth and make one person weaker to make more stronger. What's crazy about their plan is that if their plan is to tax the top earners more (as they campaigned for) why are they doing everything possible to reduce the income of top earners? If people drop from above to below $250,000 per year, won't their be less revenue to tax? Am I missing something??

Lastly, please help to expose ACORN for the fraud that they are. It's unbelievable that an organization that Obama helped to create, then helped fund, in turn helped him become president, and is now being given stimulus money to help gin up AIG hysteria, about a problem they helped create! It's bazaro world!! Now he's inserting them in the census process!?? Outrageous!

Nice!
eagle eye: Yes, you are brilliant! A true-blue thinking man. I have always been far more impressed with Michelle Bachman and her completely unhinged interviews with bloated stupid-guy Hannity! Now there is a True Patriot and he is really white so he can see through Nobama's "pretend" efforts to conceal his Radical Afro-Centric leanings. Hannity knows what it is like to be discriminated against because he is not well-endowed and he can't kiss a woman properly with his puckered sphincter mouth. But he channels his frustrations into productive things, like behaving like a retard on television and radio nightly so all the angry losers of the world can commiserate along with him. He is really making the world a better place and also providing Rep. Bachman a valuable media platform on which she prattle on about imaginary plots to turn America into a Marxist Dictatorship. This is needed comic relief for those suffering in hobo tent cities across our nation.

Hoping for more
Michelle was on Hannity's show herself this week, and said, "If Tim Geithner is successful under President Obama, and they move us to an international currency. Then we have no hope of standing on our own as a sovereign nation with our own economic system. It's over."

I hope she expounds on that insight here at Town Hall.

Now take this pill--like a good Clownhall Clown, just swallow, don't spit--and you'll feel better in no time. Soon these delusions of "President Bachmann" will pass, just like a bad stool.

Maria, Rex, Vlaidmar, Laura, Salvatore, The Crawfish--you're all. Clearly you need some serious medication before you hurt yourself

Open wide, pretend it's some of Michele's snake oil, and SWALLOW--don't spit, you clowns.

HE "FIRED" the CEO OF GM

ON this cold and stormy Sunday morning while the nation was in church praying for deliverance from his EVIL!

COMMUNIST LEADER OF THE USA, Dictator OBAMA

WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER approval FIRED the CEO OF GM.

WHEN that teleprompter said::: "I SWEAR TO..."

NO WHERE did it say that he had the powers or right to FIRE anyone employed by the PRIVATE SECTOR in the USA.

NOTICE:: he did not FIRE any union leaders:

He did however, uphold his middle finger to every citizen in the USA and the shareholders of GM

SHAREHOLDERS of publicly held corporations are the ONLY ONES who have the right to FIRE and HIRE the executive leader of THEIR corporation !

ON TO DC JULY 4th with your freedom torches:
FIGHT to restore our right to self determination:

Dr Mr Teleprompter of the USA

AND its HARVARD GRADUATE READER.

Please make a small correction for you next Press Conference or Major Address to the nation.

Regarding your assumption that there are not enough electricians in the country, presently there are about 1 million unemployed electricians because of the home and commercial building bust. YOU MADE A GRAVE ERROR stating that this nation does not have enough Electricians to wire up your “government control “controls” to control or shut down our energy consumption at your discretion”!

Regarding “smart” energy control systems, Please note: 15 years ago Honeywell had developed and improved and has been selling those “SMART’ energy control systems in all new homes, new commercial buildings and they are available to all new HVAC installations in existing homes and commercial buildings. (Please refer to “smart thermostats”)

AS well, this country is already “over wired” “over cabled” for extremely sophisticated electronic equipment far more sophisticated than those “OBAMA government to control your energy use controls you plan to install everywhere”!

Regarding this as your instant “job creation” solution, frankly most home thermostats can be converted to “smart control thermostats” in less than 5 minutes by every homeowner or even directly from the utility companies through their already operational “REMOTE”.

SO NOW MR. TOTUS unless you have a more “sinister” motive to get into our homes to install government “CONTROLS” , you may need hire a crack research team that can find FACTS

Swallow--don't spit--your meds Clownhall

b2slim, did you miss your meds today too? Come on over and get a double dose. Swallow, don't spit. You'll feel much better in no time at all. Best of all, you won't keep hearing those black helicopters whump-whump over your head. And you'll stop believing that there are little spies inside your thermostat. Creepy. I mean you, not the little spies inside your thermostat.

You've come to TH for one of two things:
1) To be cleansed of your delusional fantasies, brought to you by the caring, well-read and best-informed regular folks to be found anywhere. You have misinformation clouding your reasoning? We can help!

2)You came to show you're an intolerant nutjob and see how bad we can humiliate you. Can't pay for a dungeon session this week? We'll humiliate you for free!

July 8, 1947

You might recall that on July 8, 1947, witnesses claim that an unidentified flying object (UFO) with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico.

This is a well-known incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force and other Federal Agencies and organizations.

However, what you may NOT know is that in the month of March 1948, nine months after that historic day, the following people were born:
Albert A. Gore, Jr.
Hillary Rodham
John F. Kerry
William J. Clinton
Howard Dean
Nancy Pelosi
Dianne Feinstein
Charles E. Schumer
Barbara Boxer

See what happens when aliens breed with sheep?
I certainly hope this bit of information clears up a lot of things for
you.
It did for me.

Jane, you're beyond help, grow a brain
Alert, before it's over, Obama may be the second Bush the way he's following past policies. By the way, the Democratic controlled Congress was in power, the last two years and along with Senator Obama also wanted the bailout. Pot call-ing the kettle black huh?! You sound so blind sighted and emotional, would you know friend from foe? I find your 2 cent opinion good for a laugh! How old are you? Your rant sounds like adolescent tripe! In closing, you need to do your homework and take the blinders off!
