"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

THE PEOPLE SUFFER AND THIS POTUS BHO DEMOCRAT SPENDS MONEY LIKE THE LAVISH ROYALTY–SINCE TAKING OFFICE IN 2008 THE POTUS BHO AND HIS ADMINISTRATION SPENDS UPWARDS OF $50 MILLION FOR HIS ROYAL GET AWAY–UP TO 23 IN TOTAL
With another Presidents' Day bachelor holiday planned by President Obama, this time golfing in California, and Aspen, Colo., resort reporters on the lookout for the annual first lady ski trip this weekend, the taxpayer's tab for the first family's vacations has topped $2.4 million.
When all of the reporting of the first family’s 22 vacations so far to Hawaii, Martha’s Vineyard, Spain, Colorado, Florida, Africa and elsewhere is added up, the estimate reaches over $18 million when hotel and resort rent, security hotel and car rentals, and airfare are included.
Multiple news organizations have also tallied the costs of the first family's Christmas vacations in Hawaii, $16 million; and summers in Martha’s Vineyard, $500,000.
The White House under no administration has released detailed vacation costs, though Secret Service and Air Force records have been subject to Freedom of Information Act requests, which is how Judicial Watch has received their figures.
“The Obamas are abusing the perks of public office,” said Fitton. “Taxpayers shouldn't be footing the bill for their luxury travel.”

THE JOKE CALLED THE DEMOCRAT PARTY JUST KEEPS ON LAUGHING AS THE ONE LINERS KEEP FLYING LIKE MINIMUM WAGE MUST BE INCREASED BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE ENTITLED TO MORE SOLIALISM- INSTEAD OF CREATING GOOD PAYING JOBS TO LIFT THE COMMON PERSON FROM THEIR LOT–THE DEMOCRATS MUST FORCE THE THE PEOPLE INTO THESE LOWLY JOBS
“One percent of the us labor force earns the minimum wage.” All these evil capitalist businesses out there required only to pay their peasant workers minimum wage and yet only one percent of them actually do it. Doesn’t that crush the boogeyman of the evil capitalist right off the bat?
Remember, the issue the White House says is so pressing is people working full time, trying to support a household. Well, of that one percent, teenagers make up the largest age group.
In fact, “most minimum wage workers are under 25.” 55% of minimum wage workers are under the age of 25. Ok, so we’ve established it’s mostly kids making minimum wage. I say kids because they’re all on mommy and daddy’s health insurance. But surely they’re at least full time like the president said, right?
“Less than one-third work full-time.” Only 32% of minimum wage workers work full time. This is how progressives fight battles by the way. They look at an issue this big, like a pile of 100 fries, and only tell you about this part of it: one-third of one fry, but according to the president, these full time minimum wage earners are living in poverty-and that’s why he wants to raise the wage.
Yeah, about that. You see, a full time minimum wage worker in 2014 makes $3,410 dollars more than the federal poverty limit. So, depending on his family size, a full time minimum wage worker could take as much as 11 weeks of unpaid vacation and still clear the poverty line. He might not make the kind of cash Obama and his friends make, but someone should tell the president to look at their own numbers before running his mouth.
THE ONLY THING THE DEMOCRAT POTUS OBAMA CAN DO IS SPEND MORE MONEY TO QUENCH ANY HOPE IN CA–NOTHING TO DO WITH CURING A SOLUTION TO THE DROUGHT IN CALIFORNIA SINCE IGNORED BY THE SAME DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP ALL THESE YEARS–THE SAME CA DEMOCRATS WHO HAVE NO ENERGY SOLUTION BUT INSTEAD MUST IMPORT ITS OWN ENERGY FROM NEIGHBORING STATES BECAUSE CA HAS ATROPHIED IN ENERGY CREATION–THE DEMOCRATS CAN ONLY BLAIM AND THEY KEEP BLAIMING CLIMATE CHANGE NOT THE FACT THAT CA IS BUILT ON BORROWED TIME FROM AN ARID LAND AND DESERT
President Obama will announce during his visit to California on Friday new efforts by the administration to aid drought-stricken regions across the country.
California is currently experiencing one of the state's worst droughts in more than 100 years. The state is not alone in its struggles, as others are attempting to deal with the crippling depletion of water resources, the administration said, tying the extreme weather to climate change.
"Weather practically everywhere is being caused by climate change," said John Holdren, assistant to Obama for science and technology on a call with reporters Thursday. "A substantial part of the reason that is happening is a warming world."
To help those impacted by the drought, the Department of Agriculture will fast-track the livestock disaster programs approved in the 2014 farm bill, which Obama signed into law last week.
Under the bill, $100 million in livestock disaster assistance will be distributed to California producers.
The administration will also direct $15 million in specific conservation assistance for areas affected by extreme and exceptional drought, including an additional $5 million to California and $10 million to the drought-impacted states of Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Colorado and New Mexico.
