The Obama administration is launching a public relations blitz and you're going to pay for it.
The twenty million dollar PR campaign will promote Obama -- specifically.
To encourage you to stay healthy.
That's right.
And here's something else to think about.
They're spending taxpayer millions twenty of them in fact to promote the law that the Supreme Court could in about four weeks declare unconstitutional.
For -- sit here and joins -- -- governor.
Good evening Greta how are you amber what governor -- in -- Smart expenditures.
But right now the government's at least there's a new contract.
HHS to help explain and promote the new health -- including -- American people stay healthy.
About the president's about the U obamacare an extension could don't know -- declared unconstitutional for weeks of perhaps they should wait I'm curious your position.
This is one of the stupidest things I've heard coming out of the Obama administration.
Not only is this of course pending in court.
And I think it will be deemed unconstitutional.
But this is a propaganda piece which might be violated -- many of the procurement -- in the other laws applicable to government contracts it's just propagandist just promoting.
Obama care and when he million dollars take it one step further and find out how did this PR firm.
He then be awarded the twenty million dollar contract it's crony capitalism.
On steroids Greta the twenty million dollars is going to affirm.
That -- -- and has as head honchos Obama's surrogate it's pay back for their support of Obama and this comes on the heels of another six million dollar HHS contract.
That went to another Obama crony who happens to be then crony.
Who.
Jeremiah Wright alleges that boy is it -- do with a 150000 dollars to hush up until the election was over.
Connect the dots this twenty million dollar contract is just part of the crony capitalism that -- Washington DC.
Well I would doubt and -- -- of the way to record this Supreme Court made its decision because if the decision is to keep the keep the statute that's one thing burst that they end up toss it out in whole or partly may have -- spent the -- million dollars offer not let me tell another thing about this is that.
I have -- letter.
Dated today may twenty seconds and it is written to the honorable Kathleen Sebelius who is the case in the cabinet she is secretary of HHS.
And it was signed and was sent buyout Rob Portman -- senator Republican senator from.
From Ohio and a he's on the subcommittee and contract an oversight and in his letter he says.
I'm February 28.
As part of his subcommittee on contract -- oversight ongoing oversight efforts.
Senator Claire McCaskill which I wanna point out isn't Democrat so this is bipartisan.
And -- meeting senator senator Rob Portman requested basic information but HHS contract.
For the acquisitions a public relations -- city advertising or similar services from fiscal year 2008 to the present.
The sub sub committee and -- a bipartisan request asked for a response by march 16 from secretary obsessive really -- HHS and still has received absolutely nothing from the HHS nothing from the -- didn't -- -- -- finally of bipartisanship in this city and it is blown off I had the sector.
Yeah well another example to about that it efforts in this bipartisan.
Ed that the rhetoric anyway that we hear coming from our president saying that he embraces and get really he has nothing to.
To contribute to today that -- the bipartisanship in order to get things done for the people.
The president can step in and tell he has department had there -- civilians to answer the senators' questions and let the public get to the bottom of this so I hear -- go to the top I'm gonna point the finger at President Obama.
Who -- and it he's an -- commander in chief he's an absent CEO from.
Our nation's capital and he's not doing his job staying on top of his people whom he has put in place to oversee these programs he's contracts.
In order to do the people's business.
-- -- -- -- -- Here it's it's also -- rude and mean as I know here's a letter from a Republican senator and democratic senator took cannot -- Bob very important issues which resulted in millions and millions of taxpayers money being spent.
And and no reply letter and it's like it almost two months later.
You would think that they sector could at least say don't assistant could you can you write these two senators Republican Democrat and top I'll get back then when I can't I'm -- but this is it also did -- -- -- is actually nothing but anyway out.
And you know why he gets away with it Greta you know why he gets away with it though that the president and these cabinet members been rude to our elected officials trying to do the people's work.
Because the media lets him get away with that you're the first reporter in the first post that I have heard even bringing this up and I hope that others will follow suit -- get to the bottom of it.
Let me move onto the vice president he says of the Tea Party skill -- speech stand economics our apartment campaign speech and he is said this about the Tea Party.
Says imagine where we would be at the Tea Party hadn't taken control the House of Representatives.
Our group and their honorable people but a group set an obstruction wasn't in an overwhelming goal prevent Barack Obama from a second term let's talk about this instructional listen isn't that what this is about is that -- -- I would say no that your fan of the Tea Party but what's your response to.
The vice.
President on behalf of the Tea Party.
-- the vice president is very very out of touch with what constitutional.
Fiscal conservatives.
Are trying to accomplish through the Tea Party movement -- that's just too.
Awaken the rest of America to other road that we hear on that bad President Obama and Vice President Biden have -- on and that's -- road towards bankruptcy.
And that the Tea Party movement is let's say god obstruct trying to obstruct any more growth of government that will put us over the edge if it weren't for the Tea Party grassroots movement.
Full of those who believe that a smaller smarter government is the answer to many of our problems.
If it were not for the Tea Party we would be in much worse shape.
-- after those 12010 elections at at least did usher in some people who will put government back on our sides and get government off our back.
But I suppose there are gonna give them political -- -- asking for nannies called them on a book that's a good thing but to come obstruction.
Obstructionists essentially it be better to say that they have very different reasons he had very different policies have very different interest but.
You know latest frankly it's you know I eat you can't have both ways some -- I was on the -- and at the same time say the -- trying to obstruct any sort of progress about it.
Let me ask you talk about the Tea Party down -- Texas is interesting sort of face off between governor stepping on and governor Rick Perry you both -- two different candidates.
In the primary for the US senate Republican primary Governor Perry has indoors David Dewhurst and you've been forced in and -- -- Ted Cruz and some -- You're coming off a big win in Nebraska with a -- net a Tea Party can -- -- Fisher I'm curious.
What's going on down Texas is -- when you're Governor Perry and this endorsement.
-- Texas will win which means America will win when Ted Cruz has elected I think people have -- understood there in Texas that.
I'm for all the good work that the team of -- Am and they governor and the lieutenant governor held by Dutton for the state of Texas you know it's time and that -- -- and some new blood to represented Texas in that.
In Washington DC IE don't friends and colleagues were going to differ personally on different endorsements take for instance my endorsement at all announced first hand here you -- The senator Orrin hatch and you talk I want him to win I -- Sean Hannity and mark -- men and other conservatives.
Who would like to see mr.
balanced budget.
Returned to Washington he's part of that 1% to hear about.
Not the 1% that's it didn't mocked and criticized in the press lately but the 1% of national politicians who I believe should be reelected sent to congress.
Because of his commitment to see a balanced budget in the United States of America he wants to -- -- common sense economic principle balanced budget.
Fiscal responsibility and I want to see him.
Reelected so my endorsement of him will differ from others of course in that race and you -- no different so I I think in in many sense.
When we talk about endorsements in Texas.
I think this second -- -- you'll learn that this is surprised and another I was -- says interest endorsement tonight.
-- -- one last issue and that's C a great state of Wisconsin not to be confused of the great state of Alaska but the great state of Wisconsin a recall election your thoughts about that.
Walker's gonna be just fine.
And in fiscal conservatives who understand -- austerity means living within your means.
This that a little austerity steps that Governor Walker is applying in order to rein in the growth of government and balanced budgets there and -- a deficit into a surplus and allow the private sector to create jobs he's fulfilling promises that he made as a candidate.
Walker will win and he will.
I'd get through just fine this June 5 recall effort he and his lieutenant governor and Wisconsin's going to be just fine which means another part of America will be just fine.
-- -- -- -- The public servant to stay in office who's fulfilling promises.
Who understands it is the private sector it's not government.
That will solve the problems that we're facing in our economy.
I'm curious -- and 2008 didn't give -- programme of the back and I do that would have President Obama won that state Wisconsin by twelve or fourteen point do you see this June 5 recall in Wisconsin governor.
As a hint as to what's going to come in November because that's one of those swing states and -- -- curious which -- Wisconsin's gonna go.
You know that's a great question because what's going on in Wisconsin has been kind of ground zero hasn't it day in the last year watching this recall effort watching.
The union thugs that they head of the unions just go ballistic over.
The promises kept to -- duly elected governor and yet they did union Brothers and sisters many many of them understand that in order to allow their state to be solvent in order for them to save their jobs they have to contribute a little bit more than a previous governor had asked of them so.
Following what's going on in Wisconsin and I tell you the rest of America is watching what's going on in Wisconsin.
That June 5 outcome will be quite indicative I think of -- who will carry that state in the presidential race.
Governor thank you --
