President Obama in 2009 Pledged to Veto Attempts to Undo Medicare Cuts

As Democrats attack Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan for their proposals regarding Medicare, Republicans are circulating this clip from a November 9, 2009 interview we had with President Obama in which he not only acknowledged that one third of his health care bill was paid for by cuts to Medicare, but that he would veto attempts to undo those cuts.
Watch the video below. The exchange on Medicare occurs at 2:15:

Firm that paid Obama adviser in business with warlord-tied official

A South African company in the spotlight for paying $100,000 in speaking fees to White House adviser David Plouffe is also in business with a Liberian official under U.N. sanctions for his ties to convicted war criminal and former Liberian dictator Charles Taylor.
That's among the latest details to emerge on the connections involving MTN Group, a subsidiary of which paid President Obama's former campaign manager for engagements in late 2010, shortly before he joined the White House.
The ties to Liberia's bloody Taylor era center on Benoni Urey, who was commissioner of maritime affairs in Liberia during Taylor's reign. Urey remains on the U.N. assets-freeze and travel-ban list, even though a U.N. committee last month removed more than a dozen other Taylor allies from the list.

The turnout for Wednesday's Dream Relief workshop in Chicago was so strong that organizers began turning people away.
Locals know the venue as Navy Pier, but Rep. Luis Gutierrez called it something different.
"Navy Pier is today's Ellis Island.  And while they saw New York City, today, they see Chicago," Gutierrez said.
The line of undocumented students wrapped around Navy Pier and at one point across the Chicago River to apply for deferred action to allow them, at least in the short-term, not to worry about deportation. Organizers estimated the turnout at more than 11,000 young people.
"This is what America's about.  This is what their parents came to this country  for," said Laurence Benito, CEO of the Illinois Coalition for Immigration and Refugee Rights.

Obama Demands Court Uphold His “Right” To Ignore Constitution

Obama’s Department of Justice is demanding a federal judge dismiss the injunction with which she sought to uphold the constitutional rights of the American people.
On May 16th, federal judge Kathleen Forrest granted a preliminary injunction to plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed against Barack Obama and the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 (NDAA), striking down those sections of the Act that provide the president the power to indefinitely detain American citizens without benefit of their 5th and 6th Amendment rights.
