By Charles Benninghoff (Los Angeles, CA) - The assortment of misfits, criminals, perverts, avowed communists, tax cheats and America-haters named by B. H. Obama to positions in the White House is truly amazing.  We provide a partial list of the appointments made by Obama in his effort to collectivize the USA.  What is presented will shock, amaze, sadden and dismay any person who considers themselves to be an American.

Los Angeles, CA - Conservative calculations of California's budget debt now stand at above $60 Billion even while politicians admit to a current debt of $17 Billion.  The discrepancy involves deferred payments that are by law required to be paid currently but are being postponed.  To make matters worse, elected officials announced yesterday that some $2 Billion in IOUs issued by the state in the past few months will be paid off beginning in September.  Unmentioned, however, is the fact that all the money used to pay off the IOUs will be money to be borrowed from investors.  Thus, California is running a PONZI scheme no more legal than Maddoff's.
