No funds for Auditor Office
They are back to the same old partisan politics. A few years ago the citizens of Washington State voted to authorize Auditor Brian Sonntag, funds to audit all state agencies. The Legislators decided in this new budget ( 2009-2011) not to fund the office in the same way. Another words take the means out of Brian Sonntag office to keep him from doing his job. Another way of controlling the people and making sure their spending is not checked. No wonder we are in as deep of an hole as we are. Gregoire says she supports such a bill and will sign it. She said she was concerned about the economic situation that our state was in last year and she is going to do everything possible to dig us out, except veto this and every other bill that controls spending.

Department of Homeland Security Article
Recently WND, World Net Daily published a quote from CNN that said Secretary Napolitano
stated "those conservatives that are supporting the Tea Bag rallies and may be prolife are Right Wing extremists. " She also stated in an earlier article as saying "the border violators that cross illegally are not a threat to this nation. " Huh? I am afraid nationalism is a thing of the past. Liberal Democrats and some moderates think our future is in a safe global citizenry. I will let you make up your own mind. Thanks for reading.

Our rule-makers can't follow their own rules. President Obama sets a new standard, forbidding lobbyists from being hired on in the White House. Then he promptly gives himself a waiver because, lo and behold, he just needs a certain lobbyist.
When politicians stand on principle, it's usually so that principle can't get up.
We have a Treasury secretary, one Timothy Geitner, who didn't pay his taxes . . . well, not until he was picked to be Treasury secretary. A Washington Post headline called Geitner “too big to fail”; the U.S. Senate confirmed him.
Then there's Roland Burris, the new U.S. Senator from Illinois. He now admits that he didn't tell “the whole truth” when he testified before the Illinois House panel trying to impeach then-Governor Rod Blagojevich. Of course, Burris continues to deny what he is admitting.
Burris had been asked directly about being blagojeviched to raise money to get his seat in the U.S. Senate. But Burris said nothing at the time about being asked by the governor's brother to raise funds. Burris also conveniently forgot to mention that he, in fact, had tried to raise money for the governor. Unsuccessfully.
Burris needs to go, and he's far from alone. Think of Charles Rangel's wrangled perks, his tax problems, his network of rent-controlled apartments.
Instead, all these masterminds will stay in power, allegedly to “fix” our economy.
But they're the ones in need of “fixing.”

Change (not so small) You Can't Believe In
President Obama,
Although he has been president for less than a month, Barack Obama has already:
frightened Congress into approving the most gargantuan expenditure of taxpayers' money in history, nominated multiple tax cheats to high-ranking administration posts, overruled America's generals in fighting the war on terror, and promised other radical changes to come soon. What's going on? What happened to "change you can believe in"?

Tax troubles for president's chief of staff
OBAMA WATCH CENTRALTax troubles for president's chief of staffEmanuel's rent-free Washington residence draws questioning
Posted: February 17, 20099:47 pm Eastern© 2009 WorldNetDaily
Rahm Emanuel
There could be tax troubles on the horizon for White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who reportedly has lived rent-free in Washington for five years but hasn't paid taxes on the imputed income, according to reports.
He's the latest in a growing list of President Obama's nominees to have been involved in tax issues.
WND columnist Phyllis Schlafly writes that several of "Obama's major nominees are mired in political embarrassment. Three withdrew their names from consideration, one sneaked through confirmation because senators were still intoxicated with the Obama honeymoon, and Obama plans to use a waiver so the Senate will approve the fifth."
"Funny thing," she continued, "Americans don't seem to like it when government officials evade the taxes the rest of us pay, especially when they evade more taxes than most Americans' entire tax bill. Apparently, that doesn't seem to bother Obama." According to the New York Post, the nondisclosure of free rent in a home owned by Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., apparently isn't all that's being questioned about Emanuel's arrangements.
Another issue is "the work Emanuel tossed the way of DeLauro's husband, Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg."
Get the latest on all the Washington shenanigans. "Welcome to Obamaland: I Have Seen Your Future and It Doesn't Work"
The Post said while Emanuel was living in the rent-free arrangement, he also served as the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which gave Greenberg several polling contracts, paying him $239,000 in 2006 and $317,000 in 2008.
The report said Emanuel has explained the living arrangements as "hospitality" between colleagues, and that's why it never appeared on his financial-disclosure forms.
But the Post suggested that over five years, the rent could have been worth more than $100,000.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was confirmed despite not paying taxes on time, Health and Human Services nominee Tom Daschle withdrew his name over unpaid taxes and proposed Chief Performance officer Nancy Killifer withdrew over similar problems.
Schlafly noted Daschle's tax problems involved $146,000 that went unpaid. But larger than the money was the response to such misbehaviors.
"Even after it became publicly known that Daschle had failed to pay all his income taxes, Obama defiantly declared that he was 'absolutely' standing by Daschle," she wrote.
After Daschle took his own name out of the running, Obama admitted he made a "mistake" in the selection. But he didn't admit a similar misjudgment over Geithner, who paid about $35,000 past due after being nominated to the post.
In Killifer's case, she reportedly failed to pay required employment taxes on her household employee.
Also, while the issue didn't involve taxes, Obama's first pick for secretary of commerce – New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson – proved an embarrassment because of his involvement in an alleged pay-to-play scheme.
The Washington Post and New York Daily News suggested that at a minimum, the gift rules for members of the U.S. House may not have been met by Emanuel's extended use of free housing.
And according to reports in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Democrat Al Franken, whose challenge to incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman remains unresolved, also had tax issues during his campaign.
Franken's campaign manager, Andy Barr, said the candidate's accountant worked with California officials during the campaign to sort out whether he paid taxes on earnings in the state between 2003 and 2007.
Franken previously left unpaid workers' compensation and disability premiums in New York.

How President Select Barak Obama Got Elected
On November 4th, 2008 millions of Americans were shocked that a man ofBarack Obama's limited experience, extreme liberal positions and radicalpolitical alliances could be elected President of the United States. Formany of these Americans, the explanation was rather simple... the newsmedia, completely enamored with Obama, simply refused to do their job.On Election day twelve Obama voters were interviewed extensively rightafter they voted to learn how the news media impacted their knowledge ofwhat occurred during the campaign. These voters were chosen for theirapparent intelligence/verbal abilities and willingness to express theiropinions to a large audience. The rather shocking video below seeks toprovide some insight into which information broke through the news mediaclutter and which did not.All of this was conducted for a forthcoming documentary on how the newsmedia impacted the 2008 election. Please get on our mailing list andreturn to this website in the coming months for more information on thefilm, "Media Malpractice... How Obama Got Elected"
