Congressman Darrell Issa has produced a shocking new report detailing the Obama administration’s extensive use of taxpayer-funded propaganda, which he says breaks federal law. The report created for the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform details how the former Alinskyite community organizer has channeled the resources of the federal government — that is, your money — to create “a sophisticated propaganda and lobbying campaign” made up of “inappropriate and sometimes unlawful public relations and propaganda initiatives.” The highlights include:
- Using federal arts grants to spread Obama’s legislative message. Last August 10, administration officials held a conference call with National Endowment of the Arts grant recipients. Buffy Wicks, a college radical who worked in Valerie Jarrett‘s Office of Public Engagement, told the invitees, “we’re going to come at you with some specific ‘asks’ here,” specifically supporting Obama’s initiatives on health care, the environment, or energy. She suggested, “We wanted folks to connect…with federal agencies, with labor unions, progressive groups, face groups [faith groups, perhaps?], women’s groups, you name it.” Within 48 hours, no fewer than 21 arts organizations released a statement endorsing ObamaCare.
- The Dept. of Health and Human Services paid MIT economist Jonathan Gruber nearly $400,000 for various jobs. He did not disclose his employment by HHS while writing a string of op-eds, nor while testifying before the Senate in favor of, ObamaCare.
- The Justice Dept. hired Tracy Russo, the former blogger for John Edwards, to comment on internet articles or bulletin board messages that criticized Barack Obama and his agenda. She did this anonymously or used a pen name.
- A Dept. of Education officer used the White House email to send his colleagues eight bullet points to “communicate the merits of the President’s proposal with your members and their audiences.”
- The federal government “highly recommended” constructing highway signs that tout big government and advertise politicians (including Obama). (Watch the committee’s video on the subject here.)
- Obama attempted to enlist “voluntary” Hollywood propaganda for his proposals through the iParticipate campaign.
- Andy Griffith starred in a Medicare “update” that doubled as a commercial for Obama’s health care legislation. Not only is the PSAl propaganda, it is erroneous. A writer with the nonpartisan FactCheck.org remarked Griffith’s scripted “promise that ‘benefits will remain the same’ is just as fictional as the town of Mayberry.”
- The White House routinely drove traffic to websites that lobby for Obama’s legislation.
You can read the full report here.
Issa cites three separate federal statutes violated by the Obama administration and has called for a Government Accountability Office (GAO) to launch an investigation. If violations of the law are found, impeachment could follow.
It’s not bad enough the president is a megalomaniac who skirts the law to foist his far-Left agenda on the American people — he also uses your money to do it.

Well ;
Obama says he was a lawyer (You know how he lies) and lawyers are trained to be "Professional Liars " so he must have been a good lawyer (HIS LICENSE IS NOW REVOKED) !!!!
He must be practicing without a license ( He's STILL lying ) !!!
Hi Bob. You're right, lawyers are professional liars & deceivers.
Laws are made by lawyers to benefit lawyers.
Why is it taking so long to impeach this idiot? We all know what he has done, but everyone just sits passively by and lets it go on. Do the people not realize that if they woulod join together impeachment could be accomplished. How much further down are we going to allow our country to go before we get off our asses and "Stand Up For AMERICA".
My personal opinion is that until the Democrats are voted out of office they won't even consider impeachment. We'll have to wait until they are not in power in Congress so an impeachment will actually have a chance. I'm with you…he should have been impeached already.
Impeachment does not mean he will leave office, remember Clinton? This guy should and will eventually be charged with Treason.
You can't impeach an illegal. He can only be tried for treason.
Can anyone tell me if while checking a O.B.C, if his mother was ever checked into the hospital to give birth.??
Mombassa , Kenya has the original with a little footprint as well. All of the others are forgeries
We all know what a liar he is and all the bull he's pulled.There's alot written about him.Everyone saying impeach him,we know this about him,we know that about him.Well nothings being done about him.The butthead is still president.So whats really up with all the talk!
I AGREE 100% !!! this is a joke that never ends. O' will destroy this country if not stopped!
The globalist bankers really think they have pulled one off on the American People–they have their excape goat as pres. as they destroy our economy, creditability, and freedoms. You see nothing happens by chance in a money oriented government sold out to the banker globalists. They are well on our way to establishing their globalist empire with the top elites stooges calling the shots. Folks check your Bible as it's all in their—Greed, Power, egoes, and sick criminals with no respect for God's creation have taken contyrol of our earth. These parasites will cull the earth populations in half and create such a desaster on our planet we will all will prey for relief. May God have mercy on His nation of misguided puppets preforming the work of Satain to destroy God's creations. All it takes is one bomb and the holycaust will begin. Notice no one is talking peace On Earth????
Obama the usurper is a criminal.
Some call the Barack Obama administration progressive. Some call it socialist. Other terms used are Marxist and communist.
l just call it Evil. That’s because the rule of law is dead in America. Now we have the rule of man—or government agency. The rule of man—or government agency—is a rule of Evil because it knows only the moral bounds of those making the rules. And it’s evident this administration, its appointments and its goals are amoral, if not immoral.
In America there is a Federal law that makes being in the United States illegally illegal. There is a requirement in the law that those who are not United States citizens but are here legally must carry papers designating their legal status. That law is not enforced. Why? Someone decided not to. Granted it hasn’t been enforced for some time, maybe since its enactment in the 1940s, but it is a law and it should be enforced or changed. Were we under the rule of law it would be. In Arizona the legislature followed the rule of law—and the will of its citizens—and passed an immigration law, subsequently signed by Governor Jan Brewer, that mirrored the U.S. law. However the Obama administration made it plain it would not only not help Arizona enforce its law it would work actively against its enforcement. It sued to stop the law from being enacted. It ordered its Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Division not to pick up any illegals Arizona arrested under the law. What you have is the Federal government prohibiting a state from enforcing a law the Federal government has refused to enforce. Obama decided the law was contrary to his self interest. Obama became the law.
Let's Recap "2009"
1. The American people inaugurate a half-Arab president with a total of 142 days experience as a U.S. Senator from the most politically corrupt state (city) in America whose governors have been ousted from office.
The President's first official act is to order the close of Gitmo and make sure terrorists civil rights are not violated. (Honest mistake?)
2. The U.S. Congress rushes to confirm a black Attorney General Eric Holder whose law firm we later find out represents seventeen Gitmo terrorists. (An honest mistake?!)
3. The CIA Boss appointee, Leon Panetta, has absolutely no experience, has a daughter Linda, we find out, who is a true radical anti-American activist and a supporter of all the Anti-American regimes in the western hemisphere. (There were socio-economic factors involved!)
4. We got the second most corrupt American woman (Pelosi is #1) as Secretary of State; bought and paid for. (You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig).
5. We got a Tax Cheat for Treasury Secretary who did not properly file his own taxes for 12 years.
6. A Commerce Secretary nominee who withdrew due to corruption charges.
(Another honest mistake???)
7. A Tax cheat nominee for Chief Performance Officer who withdrew under charges.
8. A Labor Secretary nominee who withdrew under charges of unethical conduct.
9. A Secretary HHS nominee (Daschle) who withdrew under charges of cheating on his taxes.
10. Multiple appointments of former lobbyists after an absolute campaign statement that no lobbyists would be appointed.
His first EO was to protect his identity.
You get the government that you deserve. Is America just waking up now? Well Its too late!!!
when you expect something from nothing that is what you get! Idiots believe that they are special and deserve entitlements.
nobama has nothing more than an egg sucking dog for an example of how to behave. he is the first one to have his mama's naked picture on a porn site. hows naked granny gonna look to da chillins ?
Now that you've proven he's a criminal, why not take the steps to remove him from the White House and give him a permanent home in a prison somewhere?
I like to know why this president does not have to show any of his documents to prove he is eligible to hold the highest office in this country.
Tried for Treason not Impeaced.
First day…first EO…to cover his ID…
Please don't say "we" – I see you didn't vote for the POS and neither did I, therefore WE don't deserve what has happened, in fact noonne does except maybe those who sit back with their hands out for freebies, which there is nothing free – Everything has a price.
Obama is willing to do anything to get a new bunch of Democrats before November!! Grant Amnesty to 20 million Illegals, Make Puerto Rico a State, it's a no hold barred gambit, because most people in this country are only too well aware of the evils being done by him, and intend to counter him in Nov…He must stop us befoore then! He couldn't care less about the opinions of American Citizens, he is a rabid dog…looking for someone to bite, but he is dangerous!!! We must succeed in Nov…I don't believe we will have another chance if we fail!!!
I would like to see him, along with his administration and anyone else who has dropped the ball, and has turned there head on this matter. Investigated and tried for what has been done… It's UNCONSTITUTIONAL!! and should not in anyway be taken litely. Everyone knows he is nothing more then a proffesional conartist and a compulsive liar, who needs to be locked away in a mexican prison for life, for his crimes!! he needs to be stopped. He is only an imposter with a FAKE BIRTH CERTIFICATE!! Why isn't the C.I.A or F.B.I doing there jobs and arresting him??
