Obama Promises Jobs to Americans While Outsourcing Them to Brazil
A large part of President Obama’s State of the Union address had to do with jobs and the economy for working class Americans. He paraded figures that were supposed to indicate a recovering jobs market when in fact the figures he used did not reflect the millions of jobs that have been lost under his administration.
He promised middle class America that more jobs would be coming their way. He told them to rely on him and the government to help create jobs so that families could keep their homes and recover from the economic funk the nation is in.
While Obama was standing before Congress and the nation telling them one thing, he’s actually doing the opposite.
The Obama controlled Pentagon has awarded a contract to Sierra Nevada Corp who in turn will work closely with Embraer, a Brazilian company to produce a light attack aircraft for the US military. The contract is worth $345 million dollars and would have provided work for 1,400 American workers, most of which would have been union workers, but since it appears that Embraer will be doing most of the work on the aircraft, those jobs will be leaving the country.
Hawker Beechcraft Corp, a Kansas based company has reportedly filed suit, forcing the Air Force to stop all work on the aircraft. Their suit claims that their company was blocked from presenting a bid for the contract and therefore the awarding of the contract was unfair. They also claim that their AT-6 aircraft performed better than the Brazilian made counterpart and that it was more popular with the pilots that tested the planes.

Email from Liberty Counsel Action
| Mathew Staver, Chairman Liberty Counsel Action A recurring theme in President Obama’s State of the Union address Tuesday night was “fairness.” The question begs to be asked, “What does “fairness” mean to Barack Obama’s Administration, and to his Attorney General in particular?” See my very important update below – Mat. The President’s third State of the Union address, although clearly delivered in the form of a campaign speech, seemed even more like a sales pitch for socialism. The President’s presentation repeatedly used words like “fair” and “paying one’s fair share” in his eloquent attempt to make income redistribution and Big Government sound imminently reasonable and even quite logical. His core message seemed to be…“Vote for me in November and I’ll usher in more wealth redistribution, more government subsidized services, more regulations and taxes on ‘wealthy’ people, more public works projects, more federal bureaucracies…in short, more socialism.” ++“It’s time to apply the same rules from top to bottom.” One of the most memorable phrases in the President’s address – and at the heart of his reelection campaign rhetoric – was his emphasis on building an America in which “everyone plays by the same set of rules.” Does that apply to you and your administration, Mr. President? By now, you, as a Liberty Counsel Action team member, are probably well versed in Attorney General Eric Holder’s blatant double standards…and his Department of Justice’s scandalous actions and inactions. American citizens are OUTRAGED that Holder’s tenure as the nation’s “top cop” has been characterized by scandals, deception, intimidation, assertion of his and President Obama’s Leftist ideology, favoritism for radical groups and individuals, and mismanagement of the nation’s highest law enforcement office. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that the President will reign in his errant Attorney General. In fact, he announced in his address that he is asking Holder to “create a special unit of federal prosecutors and leading state attorneys to expand our investigations into abusive lending and packaging of risky mortgages that led to the housing crisis.” So, rather than paying attention to the growing outcry for Holder’s removal for dereliction of duty, the President is going to give him sweeping new power to regulate the financial sector? Apparently the President’s confidence in Mr. Holder’s abilities knows no bounds, for in the next phrase of his speech he assures us that the DOJ will now “speed assistance to homeowners.” Really? Liberty Counsel Action would be well satisfied if Mr. Holder would just perform his existing duties, let alone take over the functions of several other federal bureaucracies! ++Let’s DO apply the same rules at the top, Mr. President! In just over a week, Holder will face Chairman Darrell Issa and the powerful House Oversight and Government Reform Committee about the Department of Justice’s role, actions, and deception of Congress regarding Operation Fast and Furious…which Chairman Issa has called, “nothing short of shameful.” NOW is the time for Eric Holder to step down as head of Barack Obama’s Department of Justice! We are asking you to join with thousands of other Liberty Counsel Action team members in faxing our demand to key elected officials that Eric Holder be removed from office by whatever means Congress has in its power. Employing our proven Liberty Counsel Action Fax Barrage strategy, with your help we will flood Congress with tens of thousands of faxes in a compressed period of time! This powerful campaign has gotten off to a good start and thousands of faxes are already starting to impact their targets, but we need to BURY Congress in demands for Holder’s removal! His well-deserved ordeal before the Oversight Committee is only a week away, and we want to have hundreds of thousands of faxes arriving by then! Please join me today. Everything you need is one click away. http://www.lcaction.cc/2659/offer.asp The faxes will be sent to your PA Representative and Senators, along with members of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee (OGRC). If you would like to dramatically increase your impact, options are available to include more members of the House OGRC and members of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees. As I mentioned before, Liberty Counsel Action’s Fax Barrage strategy is extremely effective at forcing Congress to see that the American people will not stand for the arrogant dismissal of public opinion! Believe me, this strategy gets attention! When you order your faxes, please read the encouraging note we recently received from Representative Jim Jordan, Chairman of the influential Republican Study Committee. It’s posted on the Fax Order Page. Chairman Jordan knows quite well how powerful citizen action can be in helping Congress get a sense of grassroots sentiment! But if we don’t make our voices heard, how will Congress know what we think? And if we whisper our thoughts, our opponents will certainly be shouting theirs! Click here now to schedule your faxes, which will be delivered immediately: http://www.lcaction.cc/2659/offer.asp We demand that the nation’s top law enforcement officer and his team of officials sworn to uphold the Constitution and the laws of the land obey the law – and the Constitution – as every American is expected to do…or face prosecution! Eric Holder IS NOT above the law or PRIVILEGED to exercise power beyond what is granted to him by law. If Mr. Holder refuses to resign as Attorney General, we are calling on Congress to impeach him, pass their “Vote of No Confidence” resolution, and/or take any other action they think will pressure Holder’s resignation. Click here now to send a powerful message to Congress: http://www.lcaction.cc/2659/offer.asp Please join me in utilizing our powerful Fax Barrage to tell Congress that it’s high time for Holder to go! Thank you, as always, for your faithful support. God bless you, P.S. Americans DO want fairness in opportunity, in justice, and in freedom. But we will not tolerate a leader, sworn to uphold those principles, to act above the law and create a culture of double standards in, of all places, the Department of Justice!

Re-elect Obama: Vote Newt! – HUMAN EVENTS
To talk with Gingrich supporters is to enter a world where words have no meaning. They denounce Mitt Romney as a candidate being pushed on them by “the Establishment” — with “the Establishment” defined as anyone who supports Romney or doesn’t support Newt.
Gingrich may have spent his entire life in Washington and be so much of an insider that, as Jon Stewart says, “when Washington gets its prostate checked, it tickles [Newt],” but he is deemed the rebellious outsider challenging “the Establishment” — because, again, “the Establishment” is anyone who opposes Newt.
This is the sort of circular reasoning one normally associates with Democrats, people whom small-town pharmacists refer to as “drug seekers” and Ron Paul supporters.
Ed Meese: House Should Pass Resolution Condemning Obama for Unconstitutional Act | CNSnews.com
Former Attorney General Ed Meese says the U.S. House of Representatives should pass a resolution condemning President Barack Obama for acting unconstitutionally in appointing a director to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and three members to the National Labor Relations Board without Senate confirmation and when Congress was still in session.

Jimmy Carter Wears a Barack Obama Watch – The Loft The Loft
In an age where Jimmy Carter is believed to be the worst president in American history, I believe Carter is now pulling for Barack Obama to take the title. Obama was the center of attention Tuesday night as he stood before a joint session of Congress to give the annual State of the Union address. The speech was more of the same, and I guess what surprised me the most, is that Obama kept at it. The rhetoric that pits one group of Americans against the other will NOT work, yet he continues to blame the other guy. Jimmy Carter had to be smiling.
Obama’s State of the Union address was filled with class warfare, contradictions, and a healthy dose of left wing “hope and change.” Yet the speech delivered nothing on how to actually fix the mess we are in. Obama’s theme was a “blueprint for an economy that’s built to last,” but the blueprint did not address our debt, our deficit, or empowering the private sector. It was babble at its highest.

Obama State of the Union Address Makes Pitch for Economic Fairness – NYTimes.com
WASHINGTON — President Obama pledged on Tuesday night to use government power to balance the scale between America’s rich and the rest of the public, trying to present an election-year choice between continued leadership toward an economy “built to last” and what he called irresponsible policies of the past that caused an economic collapse.

| willard,
President Obama addressed the nation tonight and spoke about restoring America’s economy and values.
However, over the last 3 years, he has made it clear that his values are not our values and he does not understand what it takes to make America great again. Today marks the 1000th day without a budget. That is unacceptable. Not only should our country operate on a budget – it should operate on a balanced budget. We can no longer lay blame on the past. Instead, we should look to the past for clues as to what kind of a leader someone is. When you look at my past, you see a solid and consistent conservative record. And when I say I will fight for something, I do. I have detailed an economic plan that cuts spending by $5 trillion over 5 years, eliminating waste and the deficit without raising taxes. And my “Made in the USA” manufacturing plan offers zero percent taxes for companies overseas to bring back manufacturing to the US. This will dramatically revitalize manufacturing and bring hundreds of thousands of jobs back to our country. I am confident that together we can restore America’s greatness. Join with me in the fight by contributing to my campaign tonight. Fighting For America,

Warren Buffet Cleans Up After Keystone XL – HUMAN EVENTS
When President Obama, who is normally a great proponent of “infrastructure” projects, made his bizarre decision to block the Keystone XL pipeline project, I wondered if he might have been induced to create those thousands of American jobs if the oil could be moved by his beloved high-speed rail.
As it turns out, oil is already moved from northern latitudes, such as the booming oil fields of North Dakota, down to the Gulf of Mexico by rail of the old, low-speed variety. Fortunately, as Newt Gingrich pointed out during the Monday night Republican debate in Florida, the oil is on private land, so Obama can’t shut production down.

Ex-Clinton Operative Stephanopoulos Questions Gingrich’s ‘Character and Temperament’
Former Clinton operative George Stephanopoulos on Monday questioned Newt Gingrich’s “character and temperament.” The Good Morning America co-anchor interviewed the Republican presidential candidate and unselfconsciously scolded, “I know you’ve faced these kinds of questions before. Is there any way for you to put this issue of temperament to rest?” [MP3 audio here.]
Stephanopoulos began his attack by highlighting, “Let me get to the question of character and temperament. Rick Santorum on This Week, yesterday, called you a friend but also erratic and a high-risk candidate.” Back in the early ’90s, Stephanopoulos was in charge of handling Bill Clinton’s “bimbo eruptions.”
