President Obama's Cancellation Of White House Tours Being Met With Criticism From Congress


Barack Obama

Angered by $85 billion dollars in government budget cuts , U.S. President Barack Obama has cancelled all White House tours that were available to the public. This unnecessary move has upset citizens and congresspeople alike. House Speaker John Boehner branded Obama's move inappropriate stating, "The President is trying to make it tough on members of Congress. It's just sick."

In response to the President's decision on this matter, congressman Louie Gohmert has proposed legislation which would, "Prevent any public funds from being used 'to transport the President to or from a golf course until public tours of the White House resume. We will be able to get the Democrats and the Republicans across America ... to get their tour of the White and all it will cost is one or two golf trips less.'"

Looks like the president has a fight on his hands. The Judiciary Report is not in agreement with the president's decision. Why punish the American people over his fight with Congress. Punishing the people is not a good political platform. It will be perceived as the equivalent of a rattle-throwing tantrum over not getting one's way.

President Obama Slams Spending Cuts Labeling Them 'Dumb'


U.S. President Barack Obama is angered that $85 billion in budget cuts have gone into effect, due to the much talked about sequester. The president referred to the budget cuts "dumb." However, as much as the president is not in favor of the budget cuts, the government is spending too much money.

It's a bad sign that even with the economy still facing tough times, members of Congress are unable to compromises, having to force their plans through, as opposed to coming to a mutual agreement. Both political parties are guilty of this.

Black History Month And The Business Place


Barack Obama

As black history month in America draws to a close, the Judiciary Report would like to reflect on the state of life in America for black people. While progress has been made, there is still a long way to go. America has its first black President Barack Obama, which was a major milestone for the nation. More black politicians have gained places of prominence in the Republican party as well as the Democratic party.

In the business sector, things continue to lag behind, as some on Wall Street continue monopolies and "unfair business practices" designed to keep minorities out. Until the business sector follows the law of the land and desists engaging in discriminatory and fraudulent practices against minorities, equality will be but a dream, as an even economic playing field leads to equal opportunities for all - black, white, Hispanic, Asian and all.

Obama And Congress Fighting Over Budget Cuts


Head of the Republican party, John Boehner and President Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama and his fellow Democrats in Congress have been sparing with the Republican party on the issue of spending cuts, set to take place on March 1, 2013 if an adequate deal is not reached. President Obama and his party are against the spending cuts.

While the Republican party are in favor of it, due to the state of the economy. The newest U.S. economic report reveals jobs losses once again. Americans are also spending less, as people simply do not have the cash to spare. Budget cuts demanded by the Republicans would be helpful. So would the tax increases sought by the Democrats. Things are very uneven in Congress with no workable compromise in sight. Congress can do better than this.

U.S. President Barack Obama's State Of The Union Address Is Back On His Message Of Hope


Vice President Joe Biden, President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner

U.S. President Barack Obama's State of The Union address last night contained many claims and promises, but will he be able to make good on them in the current financial climate gripping America. Obama offered examples of what he deems his successes with the U.S. economy.

However, one cannot deny the fact, the financial climate in America is still very bad, as cost of living continues to surge and income and job availability decreases. This is a dangerous combo. At the heart of the matter is a badly damaged economy that spans two presidents. Both went about correcting the damage in different ways, but neither has solved the problem, leaving America in a quagmire.

White House Asks People Not To Photoshop Obama Gun Photo


Barack Obama 

White House officials are asking the public not to Photoshop the Obama skeet shooting image they released this past weekend. Some will be tempted to add another person to the photo or add other elements to the picture. Well, the White House says don't even think about it. Do you guys think Obama will "pepper" someone like his cousin Dick Cheney did when he was in office. Mitt Romney better beef up security.

White House releases ‘odd’ photo of Obama skeet shooting, urges users not to Photoshop it

3:26 AM 02/03/2013 - An "odd" official photo of President Barack Obama shooting clay pigeons during a visit to Camp David has finally been published by the White House, but it comes with the administration’s typical copyright caveat: Don’t Photoshop it.

"This official White House photograph is being made available only for publication by news organizations and/or for personal use printing by the subject(s) of the photograph," reads the disclaimer, which appears underneath all original photos on the White House’s Flickr account. "The photograph may not be manipulated in any way and may not be used in commercial or political materials, advertisements, emails, products, promotions that in any way suggests approval or endorsement of the President, the First Family, or the White House."

But even the polished photo released on Saturday has been met with some skepticism. Emily Miller, senior editor of the Washington Times opinion page, wrote on her Facebook profile that the photo looked "odd."
