Alaska’s Newspaper is not down with Saxby Chambliss of Georgia

November 30, 2008

I see empty headed Barbie is going to have her hands full trying to get her own Newspaper to tow the republican party line.  It seems that adn.com, an Alaskan newspaper, found Chambliss’ character some what questionable and faulted Barbie for endorsing him.

Chambliss was elected to the Senate in 2002 by running one of the most reprehensible campaigns of modern times. He was up against incumbent Democrat Sen. Max Cleland, a Vietnam War veteran who lost both legs and his right arm to a grenade during that conflict.

Chambliss avoided serving in Vietnam. He got four student draft deferments, and when his number finally came up, he was medically disqualified with knee troubles.

In the best Karl Rove fashion, Chambliss the draft-evader attacked Cleland the war hero for being soft on terrorism. Distorting Cleland’s votes about workplace rules for the new Homeland Security Department employees, Chambliss portrayed him as a tool of terrorists like Osama bin Laden.

The man who couldn’t bring himself to serve in the military said a man who left three limbs behind in war was a weakling who would turn the country over to terrorists.

Chambliss was a congressman during the 9-11 attacks. Congressional Quarterly’s “Politics in America 2006” noted that Congressman Chambliss “quipped that one route to security would be for local sheriffs to ‘arrest every Muslim that comes across the state line.’”

So there you have the fine American that Palin is trying to re-elect to the U.S. Senate.

Gov. Palin’s eldest joined the Army and has been deployed to Iraq. As a justifiably proud military mom, she might ask herself why she is using her conservative star power to support such a reprehensible Republican chicken hawk.

The Alaskan Newspaper noted Chambliss’ propensity for slimming people unwarrantly.  One gets the sense that maybe adn.com would like nothing more than to see the man defeated.

Enough said.

Kuttner: Another Great Depression A Bigger Risk Than Large Budget Deficits

November 30, 2008

Economist Kuttner takes on the task of illustrating why we need to increase our deficit in order to kick start our economy.  Its really a matter of choice.  Which do we fear most, a depression or a deficit? I’ll put depression as my number one greatest fear.

Before our economy becomes an abyss we need to start thinking in terms of getting the ball turning in a new direction and doing all that we can to avoid a depression and that is inclusive of a huge stimulus package as President Obama is proposing.

To address today’s economic crisis, Kuttner recommends a huge stimulus plan to rebuild our antiquated infrastructure and to jumpstart our new energy economy, even if that means increasing our national debt to 60% or more of GDP.

You can see the full interview here.

Former Bush adviser: Obama’s cabinet is ‘Much less ideological than George Bush’s cabinet.’

November 30, 2008

Now why would any one believe that intellectually lazy Bush would put any one that he disagrees with in his administration?  Wouldn’t that indicate a certain amount of leadership?

Who in their right mind would want President Obama to put together another cabinet filled with ideological members? Haven’t we had enough of the intellectual lazy and ideological people of the Bush administration?

George Will: Economic Crisis May Only Be ‘A Financial Problem, While Rest Of Economy Is Doing Rather Well’

November 30, 2008

Now there’s some wistful thinking, too bad the facts tells a different story.  I guess we can call Will’s rosy economic picture moronic musing.

Construction Industry: The construction sector is “beset by one of the biggest drops in employment in the current economic downturn” and had an unemployment rate of 10.8 percent in October.

Labor Market
: The economy lost nearly 1.2 million jobs in the first 10 months of 2008, including 240,000 jobs in October. Unemployment is now at roughly 6.5 percent.

Housing Industry
: New home sales in September 2008 were 33.1. percent lower than the same time last year. “The median price for existing homes fell by 9.0% and prices for new homes by 9.1% during the same period.” One in 11 mortgages is delinquent or in foreclosure.

Auto Industry
: The auto industry just experienced another month of “record low sales.” Recently, Detroit automakers plead with Congress for a financial rescue package in order to avoid bankruptcy.

There goes another nutty Catholic Priest

November 30, 2008

If we think back in history there was a time of very dark and bleak days where the church participated in witch hunts.  During those days a lot of innocent people died with no way or means of denying the accusation short of death.

Once again, a catholic priest is asking us to jump back into time and go back to those evil days.  This is not the first time since the election of Obama for president that catholic priest have requested their parishioners to repent if they voted for Obama.  These particular priest want to set themselves up high on a pedestal and dictate how we live, never once allowing us to question their actions.

Parishioners of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Modesto have been told they should consider going to confession if they voted for Barack Obama, because of the president-elect’s position condoning abortion.

It is bad enough that the catholic church is injecting themselves, again, in people’s personal lives but one must ask the obvious question, have they ridden themselves of their own sin of sexual child abuse?

“If you are one of the 54 percent of Catholics who voted for a pro-abortion candidate, you were clear on his position and you knew the gravity of the question, I urge you to go to confession before receiving communion. Don’t risk losing your state of grace by receiving sacrilegiously,” the Rev. Joseph Illo, pastor of St. Joseph’s, wrote in a letter dated Nov. 21.

The letter was sent to more than 15,000 members of the St. Joseph’s parish. It is one of 34 parishes in the Stockton Diocese, which has more than 200,000 members in Stanislaus, San Joaquin and four other counties.

The catholic church is taking on an issue that really does not concern them.  To date the only substitute they offer to decrease pregnancy is to offer abstinence from sex.  We all know how well that has worked.  Not at all.  Since using a contraception is also a sin the catholic church leave very little room for combating a serious problem that is taking place in current times.

The Church, and its fundamentalist Protestant allies, label themselves “pro-life.” But they demonstrate a willingness to allow all life on this planet to be extinguished before they will back down from what they have chosen to interpret for the rest of us as an eternal law of God.

I digress,  I doubt seriously that catholics voted for Obama solely based on his abortion stance.  It is time to question the catholic church’s decision making process.  This concept of voting for Obama and your soul will be in peril leaves the door open to assume that Bush was godly?  Thus for the good of the catholic church we should allow our country to slide further into destruction?

I am not even going to pretend that the catholic church have the right to dare tell me my soul is at peril based on how I voted.  Is the catholic church’s soul in peril for the rampant child molestation that has taken place?  The catholic church would have me risk my nation further by electing a babbling, intellectually lazy and clinically unhinged Sarah Palin?  There is a good reason why government and religion are separated (until Bush).  Religion can lead to making irrational decisions.

That these pompous blowhards are forever seeking glory by grand standing on a principle that lacks scruples and is categorically appalling; it is with gratitude that I acknowledge that their are real priest out there concerning themselves with spreading the word and not imposing irrational logic on how people vote.

But the Most Rev. Stephen Blaire, bishop of the Stockton, Calif., Diocese, said he disagrees with Illo. He said Catholics should not feel compelled to disclose how they voted to their priest.

Blaire said Catholics who carefully weighed many issues and settled on a candidate, such as Obama, who was supportive of abortion rights, were not in need of confession. He said confession would be necessary “only if someone voted for a pro-abortion or pro-choice candidate — if that’s the reason you voted for them.”

In conclusion let me just tell the pro-lifers to bring it and oh yea, bite me.

Jindal? What the heck, somebody go get Sarah quick!

November 30, 2008

bobby-jindal-large1You know the republicans defeat is still fresh in their minds and they are still looking for their next leader.  A poll, not too long ago, showed that empty headed Barbie was the GOP’s favorite by 64%.  But that poll was based off of the American people that associate with being called republicans (a lot of fringe Americans), not the politicians.

Meanwhile, others around the country were talking him up. No less an aspiring kingmaker than Steve Schmidt, the chief strategist of McCain’s failed presidential bid, sees Jindal as the Republican Party’s destiny. “The question is not whether he’ll be president, but when he’ll be president, because he will be elected someday.” The anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist believes, too, that Jindal is a certainty to occupy the White House, and conservative talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh has described him as “the next Ronald Reagan.”

Okay, so currently the only endorsements Jindal is receiving is from the likes of Steve Schmidt (McCain’s strategist, loser), Rush Limbaugh and Noquist (right wing nuts).  Not a ringing endorsement.  I guess in the next 4 to 8 years they hope to talk the people up into believing Jindal is the ONE.  Presumably that will work hand and hand with the GOP politicians deciding who will be their Obama?  Strange as it seems they do not have an interest in someone being different other than racially.  they have not yet injected how they will be more tolerant and less divisive.  Jindal would be a more positive face for the republican party but if they box him in to being just a prophet of a right wing nuts agenda it will not work.

I’ve listen to Jindal and found him to be reasonable and thus far sane.  He seems more focused on the real issues of our time.  I will not lie, if he ran for president and tried to push anti-abortion or any other right wing nut agenda down my throat then my feelings would change rapidly.

If the republicans allow Jindal to be progressive without being condescending it could work.  Even McCain might have made the election more closer if he had remained a maverick and not caved to the right wing nuts agenda (Kristol, Hanity, O’Reilly and et. al).  Nevertheless, some one needs to call Barbie and tell her that her party is trying to faze her out of the big picture.

Last weekend, 18 days after Barack Obama decisively defeated their candidate for president, a mostly Republican crowd of self-described conservatives received their first introduction to someone many prominent members of the GOP think could be the party’s own version of Obama.

Like the president-elect, Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana is young (37), accomplished (a Rhodes scholar) and, as the son of Indian immigrants, someone familiar with breaking racial and cultural barriers. He came to Iowa to deliver a pair of speeches, and his mere presence ignited talk that the 2012 presidential campaign has begun here, if coyly. Already, a fierce fight is looming between him and other Republicans — former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, who arrived in Iowa a couple of days before him, and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who is said to be coming at some point — for the hearts of social conservatives.

This is suppose to be Barbie’s big chance to come back strong.  Never mind that currently she lacks decorum, intellect and coherency.  She’s planning on coming back strong (I guess).  The republican politicians should not be counting her out.  The fringe loves her.  The big question is how will they feel about Jindal?  He is clearly not their usual type (color?) candidate.  Will they turn him into a Muslim?  Progressive?  Anti-American?  Just like they did President Obama?  Will age be enough?

“The Republicans really have no choice except to look at some people more youthful if they want to have a better chance of winning,” said Betty E. Johnson, an independent and the wife of a Cedar Rapids pastor, who voted for George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004 but who went for Obama over 72-year-old John McCain. “I liked Obama’s energy and hope. I don’t know, but maybe a younger person would give Republicans a feeling of more energy, openness.”

How does the republicans plan to eradicate the racist factor of their group?  Will Jindal be enough for the other minorities to say okay?  I mean come on, their connection with the fringe is still very painful and divisive.

It does not change the fact that I currently like Jindal.  But if and when the GOP machine starts up with the slime, will I still like him then?  Is the GOP only using Jindal for color against color?  I hope not, that would be unacceptable.

Could Jindal become the next president in 2012?  No.  Unless President Obama turns into a Black Bush, which I do not foresee happening.  Jindal 2016?  Maybe, but only if the republican party finds a way to include all the ethnic groups (including gays) and how all ethnic groups feel about the world, minus the right wing nuts perspective.

Last Post of the Night: Larry Kudlow shows a softer side

November 30, 2008

Here you have Larry Kudlow being questioned in regard to the republicans loving financial industries and ignoring the auto industries.  He is also questioned in regard to our dumb drug laws that locks up a 17 year old teenager for buying a $10 bag of weed for 9 months.  Kudlow answer?  Send the boy to AAA.  Yea that usually helps minor drug offenses.  Thanks Kudlow for just dismissing why only the financial institutions should get help.

This is why change has got to happen.  I am not condoning drug users but the level of how we sentence the users is stupid.  Those laws need to be repealed and real laws concerning drug usage and drug selling need to be set up to reflect real crimes.  Lets face it, if you are drinking yourself into oblivion no one cares.  Run some body over with a car than every one cares.  Some one smoking marijuana is not necessarily a criminal and we need laws to reflect that.  This nonsense of I’m a republican and can not be flexible needs to stop.  I say we start making our politicians be of one party called the human race.  So far as the financial institutions go, I can only say its time to diversify these corporations and root out what does not work and shut those departments down, now.  NO MORE TAX DOLLARS.  Lets start propping up businesses that matter to the American industry (GM, Ford, housing, student loans, infrastructure, renewable energy, etc.).

Bill Moyers on the World’s Hope for America

November 30, 2008

Bill Moyers has recently returned from a trip abroad.  He wanted to desperately put aside our own problems in America.  Unfortunately, he was forced to face them as the foreigners he met wanted to talk about America.

Bill Moyers did not have the heart to tell them the truth on how much America is trying to solve its own problems before reaching out to solve the worlds problems.

This is why Obama winning the election was so vitally important.  We need a change.  The world needs a change and in that change we can only hope for salvation.  McCain, though inherently a good man, was not that agent of change.  Empty headed Barbie was just that, empty, and continue to be so.  She only offered us the same division and discord that we have had more than enough of.

Bush is trying to make sure we’re all screwed before he goes

November 30, 2008

I’m sorry but worst president is not a good enough moniker for Bush.  We have got to find a better descriptor to denote that unequivalent dismal failure is captured in one or two words.  What Bush is doing before he leaves office gives a new precedent towards against the will of the people.

The Labor Department is racing to complete a new rule, strenuously opposed by President-elect Barack Obama, that would make it much harder for the government to regulate toxic substances and hazardous chemicals to which workers are exposed on the job.

Public health officials and labor unions said the rule would delay needed protections for workers, resulting in additional deaths and illnesses.

Wasn’t it satisfying enough for the republican hacks of the last 8 years to destroy our economy?  Now must it be about destroying the people as well?  What is it?  The republicans will not be happy until we are a third country with no regulations for the stock markets and peoples protection from harmful chemicals?

Bush does not give a fig about the people of America unless they have a vested interest in making money (even criminally, black water or Haliburton) or have the right amount of zeros in their bank account.

What an awful president we’ve had for the last 8 years.  The fact that the presidency was stolen only shows just how criminal the republicans can be.  Not the normal person that associated with the party out of some conservative reasoning (exception to right wing nuts),  I doubt they would ever sink so low.  I am strictly speaking about the politicians.

Now we have the FDA declaring that it has found an acceptable level of industrial chemical melamine in baby formula even though two months ago they were claiming they could not find an acceptable level.  Here’s a news flash, let’s not allow any of that crap in babies formula.  This is all Bush and it is disgusting.  What pigs.

So basically, the FDA has no idea what it’s doing and made a decision affecting the lives of your children and grandchildren based on what was best for business. Absolutely sickening. This is why elections matter. This is what the Republicans would have been doing with the economic crisis, picking all sorts of “solutions” intended only to maximize the economic benefit to their corporate friends and not address the real problem.

Look at Georgia for example, Chambliss is no more than a criminal in hiding and these sick right wing nuts prop him up like he’s a good man.  Give me a break from this nonsense.  Now I’m starting to wish that Bush/Cheney would die (naturally) already.  Let hell claim its own.

Inside Iraq – Security pact approved

November 29, 2008

Yes people we must examine this treaty that Bush has negotiate with Iraq over our country leaving their country.  We must examine this agreement because our current president has decided to be one of the worst presidents and has conducted his administration riddled with criminal activities (can we say illegal wiretapping and waterboarding).

Who does not know that we invaded Iraq for oil?  Hello, there was no WMD or terrorist acts being committed by Iraq towards the United States.  The sorry point is that neither Bush or Cheney got any oil (last laugh goes to Iraq).  The bigger problem is why if the negotiations were above board (ha, Bush is involved) the agreement could not be translated in English before Iraq agreed?

I am so sick of this administration and their constant dirt.  January 20, 2009 can not come fast enough.  Why, why, why does Iraq have to keep begging us to leave their country?  Call me an American, but I understand GET OUT 100%.  It’s already been reported that Iraq only signed the agreement because Obama is to become the new president.

Now isn’t it shocking that Bush negotiated an agreement that pretty much say we will never leave and have reason after reason to stay there.  Yet, I know a change is coming.  I’m with President Obama on this one, Iraq you’re own your own and good luck with your civil problems.

Citigroup bailout blackout: Network news programs featured no one asserting deal is bad for taxpayers

November 29, 2008

I think we could almost pull this story out of a movie.  Ah, yes, Resident Evil.  When the government (Umbrella Corporation) had nuked the whole Raccoon city — not sure if that was the city’s name — the government reported that it was a nuclear meltdown and the people believed them.  Well now we have the case of Citigroup (another one of those companies too big to fail) receiving an extraordinary amount of bailout funds and our media didn’t think there was anything wrong with that picture? It was like a media blackout.  Not one newscaster indicated that the new bailout was harmful to the taxpayer. Interesting, no?

I guess its a good thing Citigroup did not seek it at the same time the big 3 auto industries were looking for a bailout, huh?  This love affair with our media and their love for BS needs to stop.  They reported this story as if we needed to pull out our hankies for this sad sob story.

Question.  Why can’t we split up Citigroup (and AIG as well)?  Let’s try letting the part of the company that works stay viable and letting the part that is bleeding money fail.  Sort of like when the government thought Ma Bell was too big for its britches.  The government made them diversify. Why can’t Citigroup do the same and keep their hands off of tax payers money?  Come on, the third time is not the charm (for Citigroup or AIG).  Yet, we allow our government to penalize union workers such as GM, Ford, and Chrysler?  Please let time fly by rapidly (January 20, 2009) and let a real government take charges.

Watch Fox’s New, Very (Very) Dark Ad

This must be a wonderful ad for the Fox Fake News kool-aid drinkers. Look, one evil despot after another, crime, destruction, President Obama, VP Biden and CoS Rahm Emanuel.

This is what is known as just another piece of crap illustrating Fox Fake News total right wing tendencies.  Do it bother me? No.  I would expect no less than something as self serving as this commercial to attempt to keep the question going about the democrats winning the white house.

Savage on America: “We’re probably 50 leagues below the degeneracy that brought about Hitler”

November 29, 2008

Nothing like listening too a little bit of homophobic fear from the great racist Savage.   So now America is “the sickest, most disgusting country on the earth.” Might I suggest some exit strategies for Mr. Savage? There is always Rome, Italy.  Or, how about Russia (they have very strict gay policies there)?

I really can not understand why some one who is part of real America (ask Sarah “Barbie” Palin) would so malign his country?  Oh…I get it.  It’s not the whole country, even though he said so.  Its just California. Then might I suggest that Savage move to Mississippi? I’m sure he will fit in there wonderfully.  After all don’t they call Mississippi the bible belt?

The Republicans just keeps that ball rolling

November 29, 2008

One of the things I have to do, to be fair, is read articles from the republican party.  During the course of that endeavor I joined a newsletter called Newsmax.com.  This newsletter is at best a piece of work and will just about say anything to motivate people to either

  • be afraid of the new president
  • demonize the new president
  • solicit money via fear of the new president

Honesty or facts is not a necessity of this newsletter.  For example I give you a few lines from this email I received entitled “Obamanomics Could Wipe You Out, Are You Prepared?”

TIME-SENSITIVE CRITICAL BRIEFING
  • Diabolical New Congressional Plans to Fund Emergency Bail-Outs By Meddling, Manipulating, and Even “Merging” Tax-Deferred Retirement Plans Such as 401(k)s into the Insolvent Social Security System.
  • A Desperately Cash-Strapped Liberal Congress Will Soon Double-Cross Taxpayers and Investors With Massive Changes and Absolutely No Warning.

Now when has any one spoke about merging our 401(K) plans into the social security system?  Congress is all liberal?  What happened to 40 or so republicans?  Did they turn liberal too?

Or take this email entitled “Zell Miller: This is the big one,” that, of course, employs just pure fear for solicitation of funds.

Now, Miller is warning Americans that Saxby Chambliss is the “last man standing” to prevent a “far-left agenda” from taking control of the U.S. Congress.

He is right. This is why the work of the National Republican Trust is so critical.

Please help our cause today

In his message, Michael [Regan] emphasizes that his father would have endorsed Chambliss and opposed Obama’s radical plans to increase taxes, put left-wing judges on the bench, to increase gun control, promote abortion and worse.

We need your urgent help to get out the vote.

It is amusing as well as tiring to constantly receive these messages that defies all fact or in some cases any shred of truth.  The motto seems to be lie, demonize, and just lie some more, which this ad depicts quite nicely against Jim Martin running for the Senate again Chambliss.  I guess the only qualification is to have possible criminal charges against you to really be voted into a senate seat (Ted Stevens).  The republicans just keep the crap coming non-stop.  I can see it is going to be 4 or 8 years of nonsense with these deceptive emails.  They send me an average of 5 to 6 emails a day with most of the subjects being “urgent” messages.

I will close this post with one more urgent email with another non-factual explosive statement made by this wonderful group of idiots.

The hard reality is U.S. voters have run into the arms of Barack Obama’s “spread the wealth” brand of socialism, which means productive people like you and me need to stay calm — but think proactively and act resolutely to defend what belongs to us.

I guess it would be wrong for me to point out that Bush has already deployed socialism with the bailout of the financial institutions, huh?

When will Bill Kristol just shut up?

November 29, 2008

bill-kristol-largeOne of Bill Kistol’s primary jobs must be being a blow hard, that just refuses to shut the hell up.  After telling Bush in his new post to fight the new administration regarding Guantanamo he has now set his sights on telling Bush to pardon torturers and illegal wiretappers.  Yes, go figure.  In the world of Kristol there is no crime when it comes to invading the rights of innocent citizens.  In fact in Bill Kristol’s post he has the unmitigated gall to say that he [Bush] could do his party–and the nation–a service by reminding Americans of our successes fighting the war on terror. He did address the achievements in Iraq and Afghanistan in a fine speech at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, last week.

Of course some of you might me saying WTF?  There is nothing that is either successful or victorious going on in either Iraq or Afghanistan that Bush should even open his mouth.  The simply fact that people are starting to wonder what mental plane Kristol is occupying only serves to highlight his ignorant bliss.

Bush should consider pardoning–and should at least be vociferously praising–everyone who served in good faith in the war on terror, but whose deeds may now be susceptible to demagogic or politically inspired prosecution by some seeking to score political points. The lawyers can work out if such general or specific preemptive pardons are possible; it may be that the best Bush can or should do is to warn publicly against any such harassment or prosecution. But the idea is this: The CIA agents who waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and the NSA officials who listened in on phone calls from Pakistan, should not have to worry about legal bills or public defamation. In fact, Bush might want to give some of these public servants the Medal of Freedom at the same time he bestows the honor on Generals Petraeus and Odierno. They deserve it.

Its amusing how Kristol makes it seems like the only thing that was being done was just a little waterboarding over a terrorist and that listening was only done on phone calls to Pakistan.  Kristol is so far removed from the truth, I’m really wondering if he has the intellect to be writing post at all?  To note that he is practicing truth twisting of the highest order is an understatement.  I much prefer the NYT view on Bush giving out a torrid of pardons.

With the Bush administration drawing to a close, it is presidential pardon season. Presidents have become increasingly shameless about issuing pardons to insulate political cronies from prosecution, even to protect themselves. We hope President Bush will not abuse the pardon power by putting his appointees, political supporters or friends above the law.

President Obama Calls India

November 29, 2008

india-siege-mediumvariable

It was reported that President Obama called Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of India late Friday night.  What’s important is that President Obama had to remind the Prime Minister, and the rest of the world, that there is only one president at a time.

Obama called Singh to express condolences for the victims of the recent terrorist attacks there. He also made clear there is only one U.S. president at a time, the transition team said.

It was very gracious that President Obama came out for the sake of the stock market and held 4 back to back news conferences 4 days in a row to keep the stock market stable.  That was more then what should be required of someone who is not yet president.

It is not President Obama’s fault that Bush is constantly out to lunch or short on making any real decisions.  Now that the terrorist attacked has been resolved it is of the utmost importance that America lends assistance in trying to resolve who the terrorist are and what excately was there motive.

The government ordered FBI agents Friday to fly to India to investigate the bloody Mumbai attacks that killed at least five Americans. U.S. citizens still in the city were warned their lives remain at risk.

Intelligence officials looked urgently for clues about the identity of the attackers, a crucial unknown as Indian officials charged, without giving details, that “elements in Pakistan” were involved. A tentative rapprochement between the two nuclear-armed rivals could hang in the balance, and a U.S. counterintelligence official cautioned against rushing to judgment on the origins of the militants.

That President Obama called India speaks volumes for his character.  The situation in India is very precautionary at best since prior to this incident Pakistan and India was negotiating a truce between their two countries.  Since both countries are nuclear armed it is imperative that some sort of resolution is reached.  Since America is allies to both countries it would be in our Countries best interest to reach a resolution rapidly (considering we are conducting a war on the border of Pakistan).  I’m quite sure Bush is coordinating all the intelligence he is getting with President Obama, but it does not change the fact that President Obama can do nothing to mediate this situation.  Sorry folks, but that’s still Bush’s job whether he performs it or not.

s-obama-largeBelow is the written statement President Obama gave over this tragic situation taking place in India and is now causing tension with Pakistan.

“Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to the loved ones of the American citizens who lost their lives in the outrageous terrorist attacks in Mumbai. Our thoughts and prayers are with them, and with all who have been touched by this terrible tragedy,” Obama said in the statement.

“These terrorists who targeted innocent civilians will not defeat India’s great democracy, nor shake the will of a global coalition to defeat them. The United States must stand with India and all nations and people who are committed to destroying terrorist networks, and defeating their hate-filled ideology,” he also said.

“There is one president at a time. I will continue to closely monitor the situation on the ground in Mumbai, and am grateful for the cooperation of the Bush Administration in keeping me and my staff updated. We fully support the Bush Administration’s efforts to protect American citizens and assist the government of India during this tragic time.”

george-bush-largeBush held an hour long teleconference with U.S. diplomats in India and let it be known that his administration had kept President Obama informed since the siege began on Wednesday.  The coordinated assault in India left nearly 200 people dead, 18 being foreigners, including six Americans.   Bush also gave a statement via the press at the Whit House:

President George W. Bush on Saturday pledged full U.S. support to India as it investigates the deadly terrorist attacks in Mumbai, saying the killers “will not have the final word.”

Texas DA’s Cheney Indictment Evidence Revealed

Hype: The Obama Effect – HypeMovie.com – Citizens United

November 28, 2008

Mean time, back in the world of reality, the Fox Fake Newscasters act like Bush did not piss all over America and brought this country to its knees.  No, what’s important to Fox is to continue demonizing the new president.  Why?   Because they are so stuck in their world of hatred and racism that its all they know how to do.   Did they give a damn while Bush was busy being intellectually lazy (stupid) and wiping our economy out?  Hell no.  You had stupid Sean Hanity arguing about not saying anything negative about Bush.  As if the rest of the world was stupid.  Hm…maybe that’s why they treat him like he’s an idiot, you think?

Fox Fake News want to talk about association?   What the hell are we doing in Iraq?  Why have our government been given the right to wire tap innocent people?   What the hell about GITMO?  Why is it okay for the Catholic church to tell people how to vote and if they don’t vote the Catholic church’s way the people are allowed to be persecuted?  But, per Fox Fake News, I should give a damn about Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers?  Yet, it was okay for Sarah, empty headed Barbie, to pal around with secessionist and McCain to be involved with a racist group; but, because President Obama is Black I need to step back and examine who he is? What F-nonsense is this?  This defies all logic and common sense.

This disingenuous crap needs to stop.   This is the right wing nuts at their best.  Doing nothing about what is currently going on but pretending the hell we’ve gone through for 8 years did not happen.  I hope they all roast in hell with this pathetic nonsense.

The fun part is that this stupid organization had the nerve to call themselves Citizens United?  What citizens?  The citizens from the land of bigots, repressives and racists?  I don’t know why they can’t use their real names: KKK.

There will come a day were their numbers are so few that we will be able to just send them to an isolated island with no food, water or means to escape.  Let them get acquainted with being real underdogs and having to really struggle.  We can live over here arguing over whether we think they have learned their lesson and should be allowed back in to civilized society.  Of course their is always plan B, for those that think that would be too harsh, which is for them to just die already and leave the rest of us at peace.

Barbara Walters interviews President Elect Barack Obama and Michelle

November 28, 2008

I though this would be be a great way to spend the holiday.  I saw this interview on TV and it was great.  Of course once you listen to the Obamas you can become hooked.  They are just an average family and you can’t resist bonding with them.
