They hid Bin Laden from us for ten years and now they're shooting U.S. soldiers at random...  but we're still going to give them $2.3 billion in aid this year.

After Osama involved himself in the Trayvon affair and admitting women to Augusta National Golf Club, this one will probably warrant a summit meeting at Camp David.

Obama warns 'unelected' Supreme Court against striking down health law
President Osama, employing his strongest language to date on the Supreme Court review of the federal health care overhaul, cautioned the court Monday against overturning the law -- while repeatedly saying he's "confident" it will be upheld.
The president spoke at length about the case at a joint press conference with the leaders of Mexico and Canada. The president, adopting what he described as the language of conservatives who fret about judicial activism, questioned how an "unelected group of people" could overturn a law approved by Congress.
Apparently, the Al-Qaeda wanna be that somebody elected president, doesn't know that it is the Supreme Court's job to determine the constitutionality of new laws in this country.
This is the problem with electing foreigners who do not understand how the checks and balances between the three branches of our government work.

I am extremely disappointed that our republican governor, our republican senate and republican house have not ended this welfare for movie stars.
Does anyone really think Michigan taxpayers should be responsible for footing 32% of a movie production payroll?

Michigan Senate Stops Home Health Care 'Dues Skim'

By Jack Spencer | March 22, 2012

Legislation drafted to put a stop to the “home health care dues skim” was passed Thursday by the Senate on a 25-13 vote. All the Republicans voted yes except Sen. Roger Kahn, R-Saginaw.

Senate Bill 1018 was the version of the legislation that was passed. It was approved by the Senate Reforms, Restructuring and Reinventing Committee in the morning on a 5-2 party-line vote and sent to the Senate floor where the vote was taken.

The measure now heads to the House where passage seems virtually guaranteed. It will be headed to Gov. Rick Snyder by the end of next week.

“This is the final policy piece that clarifies that these people are not public employees,” said the bill sponsor, Sen. Dave Hildenbrand, R-Lowell, during the floor debate over the legislation. “This is to finally end the Service Employees International Union dues being taken from those who are not public employees but just people taking care of relatives.”

Hildenbrand pointed out that the legislature had tried to end the “skim” last year by de-funding the Michigan Quality Community Care Council (MQC3) — which was the so-called "employer" used in the unionization. However, through bureaucratic juggling, the “skim” continued even after the de-funding.

Robert Haynes and his wife Patricia have become the subjects of many news articles, TV and radio accounts of the “skim.” The Hayneses take care of their cerebral palsy-stricken son and daughter in their Macomb Township home. They've had union dues extracted from their checks, although they get no benefits from the union.
Sen. Roger Kahn, the lone vote against stopping this ripoff, was given a $5,000 campaign contribution from the SEIU the day this legislation hit the senate. That is pure bribery.
