Its not going to be good for my children and grandchildren. I wont forgive King Obama for this one. His line of thinking is if he poisons us all it will be easier to take our guns. After he buddied up with the guy from Monsanto ( i'm terrible with names) I new it was all over. I' I'm correct he put the Monsanto dickhead on his cabinet. He also buddied up with Rohm Emmanuel, think it had to do with the Goldman Sach's contribution. How could anyone like that despicable human being? He's probably bleeding Chicago dry while his people that depend on him get slaughtered in the srteets every night.Had to lay off a big percentage of the police force, the money is probably in the Caymans.      
Why Did President Obama Sign Monsanto Protection into Law?

In a move that has stunned and angered many Americans, President Barack Obama recently signed into law a spending bill that included a devastating provision that puts Monsanto above the law. As reported by Salon Magazine:3

“That bill, the HR 933 continuing resolution,4 was mainly aimed at averting a government shutdown and ensuring that the federal government would continue to be able to pay its bills for the next six months. But food and public safety advocates and independent farmers are furious that Obama signed it despite its inclusion of language that they consider to be a gift to Monsanto Company and other firms that produce genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or genetically engineered (GE) seeds and crops.

The protests come on the heels of a massive petition campaign organized by the advocacy group Food Democracy Now, which gathered the signatures of more than 200,000 people who wanted Obama to veto HR 933 in order to stop Section 735 — the so-called 'Monsanto Protection Act' — from being codified into law. But Obama ignored it, instead choosing to sign a bill that effectively bars federal courts from being able to halt the sale or planting of GMO or GE crops and seeds, no matter what health consequences from the consumption of these products may come to light in the future.”

The provision, innocently called the “Farmer Assurance Provision,” which opponents have dubbed the “Monsanto Protection Act,” limits the ability of judges to stop Monsanto and/or farmers growing their genetically engineered seeds from growing or harvesting those crops, even if courts find evidence of potential health risks. In essence, it strips judges of their constitutional mandate to protect you and the environment, and permits biotech companies unrivaled freedom to plant untested GE crops regardless of the risks, and leaves victims — be it farmers or consumers — without legal recourse.

“...those who are angry at Obama for signing the bill are also incensed with Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., who is accused of failing to give the amendment that inserted the language a proper hearing,” Salon writes.

“In this hidden backroom deal, Sen. Mikulski turned her back on consumer, environmental and farmer protection in favor of corporate welfare for biotech companies such as Monsanto,” Andrew Kimbrell, executive director of the Center for Food Safety, said in a statement. “This abuse of power is not the kind of leadership the public has come to expect from Sen. Mikulski or the Democrat Majority in the Senate.”  How many times is it gonna take King Obama to do something above the law before we do something?

Not surprisingly, Monsanto’s fingerprints are all over this. One of the rider’s biggest supporters, Senator Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) allegedly worked with Monsanto to craft the language in the bill. Blunt recently told Politico:5

“What it says is if you plant a crop that is legal to plant when you plant it, you get to harvest it. But it is only a one-year protection in that bill.”

I voted for him the first time. Something scared me the last election and I wrote in Ron Paul. The only thing King Obama has over RMoney is I think he's less likely to start a war. The King is backing his donors and promoters just like all the rest, poisoning us in the meantime and trying to disarm us. I wanna see the Pubs run Rand Paul and DR Carson in 2016. I'm all for no party and just vote for the man. You're either right or wrong and both parties are neither. I believe $100 should be the maximum election donation and we should have more debate broadcast time with the canditates,not commercials

I was just about to say this same thing.
Voting for the winner or the runner up is the only useful vote in a 2 party system. Sad reality.
Here is my hypothetical - what would RMoney have done different.
1. Give tax breaks to the wealthy.
2. He'd have clamped down on guns even harder, making the right very angry but you see he was a hardcore moderate. There is no reason to believe he'd have let the second amendment be.

I dont think Obama has made any difference in the hierarchy of this particular rant.

Cool.

Is that cos he was the moderate-est republican in the fray ?

I doubt it, but we can resolve that when 2016 comes by and if he were to enter and get elected.

But, I think he'd have knee jerked to the CT shooting far more strongly than Obama, and the republicans would have caved cos they are sold out from within.

Cool.

Like how they were against the wars before they were for them now that Obama is at the helm.
Like how they were against waterboarding and torture before they were for them.
Like how they were for the wars before they were against them before they were for them again.
Like how they were against deficits before they were for them now that Obama is creating them.
The list goes on...

Jerry I know it was a protest But I was ashamed to vote for either one of them. I wanted to vote for someone that wouldn't take any crap off of anyone and someone the billionaires couldn't buy. I don't regret it, I just wish there were better canditates. I'm like you, I like Dr Carson. Rand Paul is not his dad but so far when I've heard him speak it made common since, not a lot of lies and empty promises. I participated in a poll a few weeks ago and they had all the RepublicanCandidates that ran last year including Herman Caine LOL. There was one space for a write in. I wrote in Rand Paul. I got the results of the poll and Rand Paul won, 81% and he was a write in. Maybe things are looking up, I certainly hope so. Dr Carson and Rand would be a great pair and I don't care which one is president, as long as it is one of them.

Ron paul was a better choice for 2008, once the bail out's were handed out, Ron Paul seemed to be pissing in the wind. Yea that anchor baby part of our constitution needs to be unceremoniously shredded ... but otherwise he was off target.

Pre bail out, he was spot on.

Cool.

JOG - I think clinton shafted mexico (among other fat chicks) with NAFTA.

This is my thinking behind it: The jobs that went to mexico in 1996 went to china in 2000. However we still get to dump our subsidized corn there and have killed their agriculture. So he gave it to mexico for 4 years before china took it.

Cool.
