Speaker Boehner and Senate Leader McConnell have ruled out tax hikes.
219 House Republicans have signed the pledge to oppose any and all tax hikes.
Jeb Bush is throwing marbles at their feet and giving the establishment press the ability to pretend there is Republican support for a tax hike.
Not a good way for him to launch is Presidential bid which is being encouraged by all the Rino media.

Conservatives would be crazy to support putting another Bush is the White House.

Jeb bush is dreaming. He won’t get jack out of this dictator wanna be. All he is going to do is to continue to impoverish the rest of us while he eats lobster, kobe beef, take expensive vacations.
TAX Obama for all the money his personal use of the Air Force one, his parties in the White House, his wife’s use of government transporation and all the other expenses they incur.
lindarosemary I totally agree…my boss does not pay for my vacations and WE don’t need to pay for a HIS and HERS!! Total cow hockey in my opinion, but then again he is lower than a cow puck too, so what should we expect. AND Jeb Bush better be careful, we are OVER TAXED now so if he starts pushing that crap he better not think of running…,in fact he just shouldn’t anyway!
Bush family is from upper Commie-Land.
Members of Congress are afraid to go after Obama because of a combination of these two factors:
1. The media would label them as racist since Obama looks black.
2. Congress is complicit in the biggest hoax/fraud (Obama presidential usurpation) in US history.
If Congress goes after Obama, the truth emerges and many of them go straight to prison for treason.
Racism fear is a significant factor, but the main reason they will not act is that Members of Congress are protecting Obama to protect themselves.
It is that simple.
Citizenship education for dummies:
1. US Native-Born Citizen:
a. Someone who is born on US soil to non-citizen parents. Eligible to run for Congress only.
b. Someone who is born on US soil to one parent who is a US citizen and the other parent a non-citizen. Eligible to run for Congress only. Hint: Obama is a native-born citizen IF he was born in Hawaii.
2. US Naturalized Citizen:
Someone who was born in a foreign country and has met time and other requirements for naturalization. Eligible to run for Congress only.
3. US Natural Born Citizen:
Someone who is born on US soil to parents who are both US citizens. Eligible to run for Congress and President/Vice President.

Obama was indeed born in Hawaii, as his birth certificate and the confirmation of the officials of BOTH parties in Hawaii (including the former Republican governor, a friend of Sarah Palin’s) show, and as confirmed by the public Index Data file and the teacher who wrote home to her father, named Stanley, about the birth in Hawaii of a child to a woman named Stanley.
And the US Supreme Court ruled in the Wong Kim Ark case, which BTW was AFTER Minor v. Happersett, that the meaning of Natural Born Citizen comes from the common law and refers to the place of birth, and that every child born in the USA, except for the children of foreign diplomats, is a Natural Born US Citizen.
“Under the longstanding English common-law principle of jus soli, persons born within the territory of the sovereign (other than children of enemy aliens or foreign diplomats) are citizens from birth. Thus, those persons born within the United States are “natural born citizens” and eligible to be President. Much less certain, however, is whether children born abroad of United States citizens are “natural born citizens” eligible to serve as President …”—- Edwin Meese, et al, THE HERITAGE GUIDE TO THE CONSTITUTION (2005) [Edwin Meese was Ronald Reagan’s attorney general, and the Heritage Foundation is a well-known Conservative organization.]
Ankeny v. Governor of Indiana (Indiana 2008 – Appellate Court) ruling: “Based upon the language of Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 and the guidance provided by Wong Kim Ark, we conclude that persons born within the borders of the United States are “natural born Citizens” for Article II, Section 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of their parents.”
Tisdale v. Obama (Virginia federal court 2012) ruling: “It is well settled that those born in the United States are considered natural born citizens.”
Purpura v. Obama (New Jersey 2012) ruling: “No court, federal, state or administrative, has accepted the challengers’ position that Mr. Obama is not a “natural born Citizen” due to the acknowledged fact that his father was born in Kenya and was a British citizen by virtue of the then applicable British Nationality Act. Nor has the fact that Obama had, or may have had, dual citizenship at the time of his birth and thereafter been held to deny him the status of natural born. It is unnecessary to reinvent the wheel here. … The petitioners’ legal position on this issue, however well intentioned, has no merit in law. Thus, accepting for the point of this issue that Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii, he is a ‘natural born Citizen’ regardless of the status of his father.”
Voeltz v. Obama (Florida 2012) ruling: “However, the United States Supreme Court has concluded that ‘[e]very person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, becomes at once a citizen of the United States. ‘Other courts that have considered the issue in the context of challenges to the qualifications of candidates for the office of President of the United States have come to the same conclusion. [The judge cites Hollander and Ankeny]
Allen v. Obama (Arizona 2012) ruling: “Most importantly, Arizona courts are bound by United States Supreme Court precedent in construing the United States Constitution, Arizona v. Jay J. Garfield Bldg. Co. , 39 Ariz. 45, 54, 3 P.2d 983, 986(1931), and this precedent fully supports that President Obama is a natural born citizen under the Constitution and thus qualified to hold the office of President. … Contrary to Plaintiff’s assertion, Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1874), does not hold otherwise.”
Sorry, ellen, but the piece of paper he offered is a fake. Its BS, not a BC. If it isn’t why did he not show it at the beginning when he threw his hat in the ring instead of saying the government of Hawaii would not allow him to.
Why did he advertise he was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii for 16 years until he ‘entered the race’?
By what law could the government deny a citizen a certified copy of their birth certificate? And why couldn’t the new governor find it like he said he was going to do when he went in office?
One other point you might look in to, ellen. Check out the findings of what the FIRST Congress (1790) passed on the natural born requirement then check out how the THIRD Congress (1795) reworded it.

“What is a natural born citizen? Clearly, someone born within the United States or one of its territories is a natural born citizen.” (Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on OCTOBER 5, 2004)–Senator Orrin G. Hatch (R-UT).
“Prior to the adoption of the constitution, the people inhabiting the different states might be divided into two classes: natural born citizens, or those born within the state, and aliens, or such as were born out of it. The first, by their birth-right, became entitled to all the privileges of citizens; the second, were entitled to none, but such as were held out and given by the laws of the respective states prior to their emigration. …St. George Tucker, BLACKSTONE’S COMMENTARIES: WITH NOTES OF REFERENCE TO THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA. (1803)
“Therefore every person born within the United States, its territories or districts, whether the parents are citizens or aliens, is a natural born citizen in the sense of the Constitution, and entitled to all the rights and privileges appertaining to that capacity.”—William Rawle, A VIEW OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 2d ed. (1829)
Hollander v. McCain (New Hampshire 2008) ruling: “Those born “in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” U.S. Const., amend. XIV, have been considered American citizens under American law in effect since the time of the founding, United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649, 674-75 (1898), and thus eligible for the presidency,

Obama’s BC is not fake. Only birther “experts” claim that it is fake. Obama showed his official birth certificate from Hawaii, the short-form Certification of Live Birth, way back in June 2008, five months before the election, and the officials of the Republican governor’s administration in Hawaii confirmed it at the time, and have repeatedly confirmed it and the long form since then. They confirmed that they have Obama’s BC on file, and that it says that he was born in Kapiolani Hospital on it and that they sent it to him. And this is further confirmed by the public Index Data file and by the birth notices sent to the Hawaii newspapers in 1961 by the DOH of Hawaii.
And, in addition to all that proof, there is the simple fact that it is nutty to believe that Obama’s relatives had enough money (Obama’s grandfather was just a furniture salesman and his grandmother a low-level employee in a bank at the time) or crazy enough to spend LOTS of money on a long and expensive and risky (incidents of stillbirths were high at the time) trip for their daughter when she was late in pregnancy—–when there were perfectly good hospitals in Honolulu, Hawaii.
And birther sites do not quote the analysts who say that there is nothing wrong with Obama’s birth certificate. For example:
Dr. Neil Krawetz, an imaging software analysis author and experienced examiner of questioned images, said: “The PDF released by the White House shows no sign of digital manipulation or alterations. I see nothing that appears to be suspicious.”
Nathan Goulding with The National Review: “We have received several e-mails today calling into question the validity of the PDF that the White House released, namely that there are embedded layers in the document. There are now several other people on the case. We looked into it and dismissed it. … I’ve confirmed that scanning an image, converting it to a PDF, optimizing that PDF, and then opening it up in Illustrator, does in fact create layers similar to what is seen in the birth certificate PDF. You can try it yourself at home.”
John Woodman, independent computer professional, said repeatedly in his book and in various articles on his Web site that the claims that Obama’s birth certificate was forged were unfounded.
Ivan Zatkovich, who has testified in court as a technology expert, and consultant to WorldNetDaily: “All of the modifications to the PDF document that can be identified are consistent with someone enhancing the legibility of the document.” And, by the way, when WND received Zatkovich’s article that said that he found nothing wrong with Obama’s birth certificate, WordNDaily simply did not publish it.
Jean-Claude Tremblay, a leading software trainer and Adobe-certified expert, who has years of experience working with and teaching Adobe Illustrator, said the layers cited by doubters are evidence of the use of common, off-the-shelf scanning software — not evidence of a forgery. “I have seen a lot of illustrator documents that come from photos and contain those kind of clippings—and it looks exactly like this,” he said.
Obama has shown his birth certificate twice, and the officials of BOTH parties in Hawaii have repeatedly confirmed the facts on it.
Birthers’ claim that Obama’s birth certificate is false is well understood to be caused by their own motives—they hate Obama and would like to harm him.
Moreover, for Obama not to be a Natural Born Citizen, Obama would have had to have been born in some country other than in the USA, and that—considering how far Hawaii is from the nearest foreign country and the fact that pregnant women seldom traveled long distances late in pregnancy in 1961 AND that the officials in Hawaii and the birth certificate and the birth notices in Hawaii say that he was born in Hawaii—is not very likely at all.
Re: “why couldn’t the new governor find it like he said he was going to do when he went in office?”
Answer. Because he never said that he could not find it, or that he was looking for it. That is what birther sites said that he said. What he said was that he was looking for something to give proof IN ADDITION to the birth certificate, and he could not find anything that he could release (He is not allowed to release hospital records under state and federal privacy laws). HOWEVER, he never said that he could not find the birth certificate. NEVER. And in fact at least four Hawaii officials, of which two were Republicans, have stated that they saw Obama’s birth certificate in the files, where it is supposed to be.
And, guess what, Obama’s short-form birth certificate, the Certification of Live Birth, comes from the document in the files. That is because short-form BCs are generated by a clerk looking into the files and entering the facts from the document in the files that generates the BC on security paper. So, unless Hawaii lied when it said that it sent a short-form BC to Obama and that it checked its files and determined that indeed there is a BC in those files, THERE IS INDEED A BC IN THE FILES. So, Abernathy did not say that he could not find it. And, in fact, he didn’t say it. He was referring to an attempt to find another document. Birthers simply made up the story that he said that he could not find the BC in the files.
And, in addition to four officials having said that there is a BC in the files, there is also the public Index Data file and the birth notices sent to the Hawaii newspapers by the DOH of Hawaii in 1961 and the Hawaii teacher who has stated that she was told of Obama’s birth in Kapiolani Hospital and that she wrote home to her father, named Stanley, about the unusual event of a birth in Hawaii of a child to a woman named Stanley.

THERE IS NO WAY THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION WILL ELECT ANOTHER BUSH.I WAS AS SICK OF THE BUSH FAMILY AS IAM OF OBAMA.IAM ASHAMED OF MYSELF BUT I CANT STAND TO LOOK AT OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT OR HIS WIFE.THATS HOW SICK OF THESE PEOPLE I HAVE BECAME.
We don’t need another “Bush” in our White House. Jeb Bush is crazy. I’ll never vote for him. He’s just another lying, wimpish RINO. He said something like if Obama “is sincere about about dealing with our structural problems.” Well, when has Obama been sincere or honest about anything? He has never been sincere or honest. Why should we trust him now? He’s the most untrustworthy president in the history of the USA.
The third Bush (time) is gonna be a nightmare.
Worse than the fool we have now? I don’t think so.You have to be a demdum or a glutton for punishment.
No, it wouldn’t be worse than the fool we have now. But, it would still be a nightmare. Two wrongs/evils don’t make a right. And I’m not a “demdun” or Democrat if that’s what your are trying to say.
Jeb Bush? Where does he come off opening his mouth? You pay all the taxes you want buster….leave the rest of us alone. Has everyone gone tax berserk? The flaming idiot in the white house has already taxed the people to death….more than ever before. Enough. We don’t need fuel from the peanut gallery.
Shove it Jeb.
and this comes from someone who likes him a lot.
First we need to quit spending way beyond our needs.
That will solve everything.
We take in plenty of money into the U.S. Government.
We just need to quit spending more than we take in.
Hey Jeb, open mouth insert foot…………..moron! I wouldn’t vote for him for dog catcher. The Bushes started us down the path to hell and little George could have had Obonobo vetted when he was President and saved America from an ineligible tyrant. Bush violated his oath of office by not insuring this bisexual Muslim never set foot in the White house, knowing what he must have known. He is complicit in insuring America settles in the dustbin of history!
We simply need to stop our “Foreign Aid” policy. They already HATE us. We don’t need to buy their HATE!!!!
THE SEQUESTER
Who makes the rules for Congress; and how many F-16’s and Abrams Tanks does it take to make a Sequester; why are we giving Egypt our Sequester?
Mister Kerry gave Egypt our sequester money.
$250,000,000.oo that’s two hundred fifty million dollars; and Mr Kerry gave it to the Egyptians.
I am going to demand my Congressman to defund Mister Obama! What will you do?
In today’s society there are no more long distance phone calls; they are on Majic Jack or Skype or on “bundles”, so you can call Congress pretty cheaply.
