The Government Accountability Office, Congress’ investigative arm, released a report Monday on Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius’ fundraising on behalf of Enroll America, a nonprofit founded by former Obama campaign and White House staffers, to help boost enrollment in the federal exchanges.
When looking into the fundraising issue, the GAO interviewed a representative from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation who said a White House aide during a discussion in 2012 sought a “significant contribution” for Enroll America and said other similar enrollment nonprofits would likely need $30 million to finance a national Obamacare promotional effort.
The White House stresses that the aide, identified only as the deputy assistant to the president for health policy, did not ask for a specific dollar donation and denies the mention of the need for $30 million to finance a private national Obamacare public-relations campaign.
Jeanne Lambrew has been serving in that position since March 2011, according to a report in the Washington Post.

“The federal government already owns too much land,” Perry told Fox News.
At issue are thousands of acres of land on the Texas side of the Red River, along the border between Texas and Oklahoma. Officials recently have raised concern that the BLM might be looking at claiming 90,000 acres of land as part of the public domain.
On Tuesday, state Attorney General Greg Abbott, who is running to replace Perry, raised the issue in a letter to the BLM director. He also told Breitbart.com he’s ready to “go to the Red River and raise a ‘Come and Take It’ flag to tell the feds to stay out of Texas.”
Abbott reiterated his comments Wednesday night on “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren.”

Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus on Wednesday accused Senate majority leader Harry Reid of being “so dirty and so unethical” for using his taxpayer-funded office to launch political attacks against Republicans.
During an appearance on Fox and Friends, Priebus discussed how the the GOP has filed an ethics complaint against the Nevada Democrat to the Senate Select Committee on Ethics over the issue.
“Harry Reid is so dirty and so unethical that some of these things have to happen,” Priebus said on Fox and Friends. “You have to put a marker down and say, wait a second. You are not going to use a taxpayer web site and a taxpayer Twitter account to attack Republicans”

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has been accused by the Republican National Committee in a no-holds-barred memo of being a repetitive bold-faced liar.
The memo, written by RNC press secretary Kirsten Kukowski and titled “Nothing’s Too Unethical for Harry Reid,” starts by saying that that the Nevada Democrat is having “a bad month,” according to The Weekly Standard.
Kukowski continued, “He was caught funneling campaign money to his relatives. His Senate Majority PAC was caught lying to voters. And he was caught hypocritically accepting money tied to people he calls ‘un-American.’
“As he desperately clings to power, is there anything Harry Reid won’t do to promote his own self-interests?”
The Standard’s conservative commentator Daniel Halper said that Reid’s untruths have become such much a major part of his culture that his mantra is, “If at first you don’t succeed, lie, lie again.”

Liberals Increasingly Comparing Global Warming to Slavery

By Michael Bastasch.
On Earth Day, liberal MSNBC host Chris Hayes published a piece for The Nation which compared the political economy of global warming to the political economy of slavery. Hayes compared the financial interests of preserving slavery to the financial interests of burning hydrocarbons which environmentalists say cause global warming.
“The last time in American history that some powerful set of interests relinquished its claim on $10 trillion of wealth was in 1865 — and then only after four years and more than 600,000 lives lost in the bloodiest, most horrific war we’ve ever fought,” Hayes said, adding he is not trying to morally equate global warming and slavery.
But while Hayes says he disavows moral equivalency, he argues that the only historical equivalent to the politics of global warming is slavery. Hayes writes that “you must confront the fact that the climate justice movement is demanding that an existing set of political and economic interests be forced to say goodbye to trillions of dollars of wealth.”
“It is impossible to point to any precedent other than abolition,” he adds.

President Obama has told us all how scared he is of global warming, and that if we don’t “act now,” then it will be the second coming of Gozer the Gozerian, aka Gozer the Destructor, Volguus Zildrohar, Gozer the Traveler and Lord of the Sebouillia. (Sorry, not trying to give the Cult of Gozer a bad rap by conflating them with global warmists).
After all, Obama has told us countless times how much we all need to cut back on our emissions and get some “skin in the game,” because if we don’t baby polar bears are going to drown and the earth is going to incinerate in a giant ball of molten lava. Roughly paraphrasing, but that’s the gist.
Well, this is how much Obama loves the planet: he burned 35,000 gallons of fuel and emitted 350 tons of CO2 by his lonesome just on Earth Day alone.

“So far, we have limited the sanctions to the leadership of Russia, and I think that is the proper approach,” the Nobel peace laureate told AFP on the sidelines of a discussion in Paris on climate change.
“I don’t think we would go so far as to impose sanctions that would hurt the Russian people.”
The statesman was taking part in a meeting with students as a member of The Elders group set up to promote human rights around the world.
US Vice President Joe Biden earlier warned Russia of “more costs” and “greater isolation” if it continued to “pull Ukraine apart”.
