Obama Job Approval Rating Index hits Minus Three!
Ohhh… what a marvelous time
for Sarah Palin to change the game!
Rasmussen Reports that not only has Obama’s Job Approval Index flattened… it continues to go lower. And, today marks its lowest point to date. It sets squarely at Minus 3.
See the numbers at Obama Job Approval Index Hits New All Time Low of minus 3!
Don’t you just love the Socialists and those in the GOP who fear Sarah’s personal appeal and political power?
Among GOP/Conservative Voters, Sarah’s base Approval Rating is 70%. Think that alarms the political machines of GOP Presidential Hopefuls? They are shaking in their boots… and can only wish Sarah would just go away.
Goodness… Sarah has made the next move. In a game of Chess it is like an unanticipated and unpredicted move that just took the opponent’s Queen and put their King in Check. Socialists and GOP Opponents alike are reeling as if they just received a jolt of lighting.
Sarah Palin, instead of PREDICTING what is going to happen as to Obama’s fall from his Media Created Sainthood, is now quoting hard data, chapter and verse, as to his falling and failing policies and to the extraordinary earth shaking damage he is doing to the United States therefore the entire Free World.
Sarah has short circuited the Long Fanged Socialist Trolls who thought they had her tightly within their claws where they could politically chew away on her at their leisure while their Enchanted One became more popular than Jesus. They wont stop attacking her but they have lost their grip on her.
Problem is… Obama is Obama’s Worse Enemy.
Problem is… Sarah Palin is Obama’s Worst Nightmare.
The Washington Elite, including the Washington Media Pundits, are desperately trying to pigeon hole Sarah into their Business As Usual Washington Politics Model of what a politician can and can not do… must and mustn’t do, as if people around the country actually give a crap what they think.
What matters is what people think… and Palin, pulling nets wearing her hip waders while being interviewed by Andra Mitchell, is far more powerful than Obama using his Teleprompter in front of his hand picked Town Hall Audience SELLING his Obama Health Care Snake Oil on the heels of the Democrat Majority House of Representatives passing his Cap & Trade Energy Tax on All Americans to solve a non-existent Global Warming “Problem…” the biggest single tax increase in the history of Human Kind.
I confidently predict Sarah Palin is breaking the mold of what the Washington Elite dictates a Politician can and can not do… must and mustn’t do and is shocking the world with her boldness, freshness, and her ability to speak without a script scrolling on a teleprompter. This woman has selfless principles… wow… what a concept for a politician.
And then there is Al Gore calling everyone a Nazi who opposes the Cap & Trade Bill. Get a grip
You Are All A Pack of Nazis!
Gee, Albert… you seem to be foaming at the mouth like the Socialist Rabid Dog you are.
Be prepared for witnessing Sarah Palin Unleashed!
Be prepared to continue witnessing
Obama falling inch by inch on his own Sword!

Morning! Wow, Gore must be going to an uncomfortable place after this life… to call people “nazis” in order to earn a billion dollars from owning his “Carbon Credit” companies is probably worthy of an 11th Commandment.
etc etc etc…
Morning M2!
Good morning!
off to get ready for the day… bbl.
vf, excellent post!
I think Sarah should do a talk show. She could possibly have much more influence in the private sector. Wow. She could make a lot of money too. Why swim up stream when you can go with the flow? She’ll be drowning in greenbacks. I bet her family would be happy. And she’ll be able to pay off all those legal fees.
I thought it funny that she had an NBC tee shirt on.
Sure is beautiful “up there in Alaska”….
hey m2!
I think we need a third party. The Republican party is too disparate and the Dems aren’t unified either. I think there is a possibility that there could be a majority party in the center.
Thank You…
I think Sarah already knows what she is going to do… and having a radio talk show is not one of them.
Conservatives have Rush for that! lol

I think she could do a lot of damage to Obama if she had a t.v. talk show. She seems burnt out on politics and I don’t blame her. I bet her family is too. I know she likes to swim upstream, but if I were her, I’d do what comes naturally. I’m not exactly sure what that is.

It looks like ol Colin Powell may be having some second thought about his buddy President Obama.
July 05, 2009
Categories: Miscellany
Powell cautions Obama to take it slow
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell cautioned President Obama to slow down his ambitious agenda, out of concern for spiraling budget deficits.
Obama is hoping to pass legislation that would overhaul the health care system and implement a cap-and-trade energy program — in the face of a recession and significant budget deficits.
“I think one of the cautions that has to be given to the president — and I’ve talked to some of his people about this — is that you can’t have so many things on the table that you can’t absorb it all. And we can’t pay for it all,” Powell said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“I think the president, as he moves forward with his initiatives, has to start really taking a very, very hard look at what the cost of all this is,” Powell said. “And how much additional bureaucracy and will it be effective bureaucracy be needed to make all of this happen.”
More Powell: “I never would have believed that we would have budgets that are running into the multi-trillions of dollars, and we are amassing a huge, huge national debt that, if we don’t pay for in our lifetime, our kids and grandkids and great grandchildren will have to pay for it.”
Powell said he met with Obama “not too long ago” and said he holds a “very good” relationship with the president. Powell added that he hasn’t decided whether he will be supporting Obama for re-election in 2012.
holy crap, did you see that Berg is suing Orly Taitz?

Ann Coulter on Palin going national, the economy and Obama’s Russia trip.
One thing I failed to mention about Governor Palin and AK.
It was mentioned that AK is doing better than other states. AK has more resources than other states. I think there is a lot of disparity among Alaskans about how their resources should be developed. They should concentrate on what is sustainable and avoid what is too damaging to the environment. They should never compromise the purity of their water for a temporary spike in well paying jobs. They should look at the long term viability of the wilderness and how much future wealth they have there.
The Liberals hate and fear Palin so much it is funny. If Obama had lose would we have wasted two sentences on Biden? Of course not. But Palin frightens them and they think she must be destroyed. Fortunately for us the Democrats often overplay their hands.
Neil… overplayed is an understatement…
And future at attacks on Palin will be seen for what it is… Socialist Trollism
Rosehips,
Alaska possesses that which the lower 48 needs to survive as a country… I trust the development of Alaska’s natural resources will be in line with the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers as it was with the Kensington mine issue.
We can make more fish… we can put back in the mountain what was taken out… we can restore a little lake to it’s previous depth.
Things have to be done in balance… and zealotry aside… it all has to make sense at the 10,000 foot altitude.
a restockable stickleback population in a little lake is not a grey whale pod… nor a blue whale pod nor an Orca pod.
sigh. vf, if only I was confident that the lakes that are killed can be restored after they are filled with toxic tailings. I don’t know if it’s been done successfully before. I guess I should see if they have an example of a lake that was restored after it was killed by dumping so much waste into it.
I just received a comment on my ireport about the Supreme Court decision. There is a campaign to pressure the Obama admin. to revert back the definition of “fill” to what it was before the Bush administration changed it. I am going to write letters today to my reps and to Lisa Jackson and Nancy Sutley.
This is the website for the campaign:

sami, I know all about the Cuyahoga River catching on fire. It is a symbol of how far we went before we realized how stupid it was to pollute without regard for our waterways. geesh. Maybe they should have asked some grade schoolers.
“hey kids, do you think it’s a good idea to dump all our toxic wastes into the river?”
I wonder what the kids would have said?
A friend of mine (from Cleveland) in college used to recall the day he watched the river burn. It must have been a truely defining moment in the environmental movement’s history.
Good luck with that…

I am so glad we are back to solid news – Palin and not a Concert Cum Cadaver.
Yes the waders brought things down to earth, did they not? One picture is worth – in this case – more than one of Obama and RasPutin. He looks like a choirboy who walked into the wrong church.
“A shout out” as Sarah would say, to VF, Neil, and Rose. VF, in your citations, you’ve given me a lot of reading to do – one way to keep a dog from barking. I won’t have an intelligent word until 3 posts from now.
Rose, neat article in the current NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC – you will know the one I mean. Get over to the grocery store and read it. I did buy this one though.

A prediction by samiam60:
In spite of the set backs the Republican Party now is facing I see a total and complete upset coming for the Democratic Party as the true nature and depth of the Socialist Movement in America is revealed. The American people are slow to anger and as the facts become more available I am sure that this Country will rise up and oust ALL those in Both Parties and restore America to her Former Greatness.
Geeze – I can hear that crazed cat laugh all the way from the air field.
Hi Sami – didn’t see you – I’ve left the building though. Did NOT see Elvis.
The socialists movement will surely Fail in America.
Good for Greta. That guy looked pretty sheepish when he said “oh I get it”
The double standard in politics and the world at large is very strong. Women like Greta are powerful advocates for all women. Go Greta Go.
Personally, I would not have wanted to be that busy when my kids were young. I felt strongly that it was good to be home with them and I cherish the years I spent with my kids always close. But Sarah Palin’s kids are not starved for attention or affection. They seem to have a very strong family. Reality is that women can’t devote as much time to the kids as we’d like and families adapt. At least some do. Sarah Palin knows how to adapt. That is clearly evident.
vf, perhaps not by definition but anything that kills all the life in a lake after being dumped in it, is toxic, imo.
vf said: Kensington Mine Tailings is not toxic waste…
dang sh. never even saw you. I was looking toward Russia and all the while you were on the other deck. gosh dang it!
vf, back in January the Supreme Court spent an hour debating whether the tailings were toxic or not. The environmentalists consider them toxic. The mine owners consider them benign. I know who I trust more…
I got this from an article on mineweb:
“Justice David Souter expressed his dismay that if it’s proper for Coeur d’Alene mines “to do what they’re doing here [using Lower Slate lake for tailings disposal], then the lake in the middle of the Everglades is an impoundment area, or a Great Salt Lake is an impoundment area.”
Garre responded that “at the end of this project, when the lake is going to be reclaimed, the agencies determined that it’s going to be environmentally as sound, if not superior, for the habitats in Alaska, fish and wildlife.” However, Souter replied, “My problem is that you’re treating-the Corps is treating as an impoundment area a whole natural lake as distinct from a settling basin.”
The justice complained that “during the period in which the deposits are going to be made, the natural life of this water body is going to be destroyed.”
“You are simply, or the Corps is simply, defining what would otherwise be a pollutant, suspended solids discharged into the water, by calling it fill material,” he observed.”

US Hospitals will raise their fees to their patients by $155 billion over 10 years.
In other news…
WASHINGTON — Vice President Biden has announced a White House deal with the hospitals to help pay for President Obama’s overhaul of health care.
Biden made the announcement Wednesday morning at the White House with hospital administrators and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. Biden said “reform is coming.”
Biden said the hospitals are ready to give up about $155 billion over 10 years in government payments. The money could then be used to help pay for covering millions of uninsured.
Despite the deal, some Democrats are rebelling over taxing generous health insurance benefits to pay for any overhaul, jeopardizing bipartisan legislation in the Senate and Obama’s ambitious timetable.

I too am on a mission to save Americas Unborn. What a coincidence.
I’m going to be late doing everything but no matter, I HAVE to say something about wind generation because I researched it to go against wind farms in inappropriate places here. SOLAR, SOLAR, SOLAR I say.
Wind machines do indeed decimate large populations of birds especially when in or near flyways.
Wind machines are dangerous in winter because they toss ice chunks at incredible speeds in all directions.
Wind machines are NOISY.
It is unclear who will maintain these machines once they are installed on, say, a farm. The farmers are sucked in by the money but then what. Local communities don’t think about these things.
Have you ever seen how much gas in wasted just getting one of these giants to a site? It takes about 4-5 large bed haulers.
There is what is called a wind map of the US. there are precious few places where the machines are truly effective – another reason not to rely on them to pull us out of our mess. On that map – California, the middle of the country down through Texas and portions of the North East such as Western New York and parts of New England are prime spots as I recall. It’s been a long time since I looked at the map.
So, the average environmentalist needs to do his/her homework on these things and they may change their “air”ias (tunes).
The EPA says the same thing… hahahahahahaha

Dog upset – are you talking about mine trailings? I didn’t do it. I didn’t poop anywhere near Alaska.
God Gave The Earth To Conservatives To Use…
Get over it… hahahahahaha
There is a difference between pollution and ordinary land fill. What about the bugs in that lake? what will they do? The horror of it all…
The fill will lower the lake depth to 12 feet and increase it’s surface area overall. That is good.

I don’t mean to belittle your efforts but in my mind the only ones benefiting from some of these matters are, you guessed it, Les Lawyers, mon cher.

Lightening Strikes Kills Fish! When will this senseless tragedy be stopped?
ROFL
Rose – about airplanes -think about it – they fly a lot higher than birds. Further, the air intake on jets is not the hazard of a large windmill.
Most birds now avoid airports. However, those monster windmills are out there chopping day and night.
Sharks kills fish therefore, are Toxic!
Outlaw Sharks! It’s the right thing to do! 😉
Fish Exhale CO2!!!! OMG!!! They are creating Global Warming!
As for jet fuel – they are making jets more fuel efficient although the F-16s practicing for the air show that are circling my home are Vietnam era craft and they are not fuel efficient – just entertainment efficient – especially when they do whatever it is called to make a lot of noise. Now that annoys me and the birds. You should see them shake theys little heads.
sh, thank you but I said earlier that I was hoping to get my feathers ruffled. It is so boring when we all agree.
what I am trying to say is that if Kensington Mine can reclassify their tailings as “fill” then other mining operations can file suit. Normally the Army Corps of Engineers is not involved unless they are dumping construction materials into bodies of water to do some sort of reconstruction of levees and the like. To involve them in a project and gain their complicity and then getting the Supreme Courts complicity to me stinks like all the dead fish that will end up in Slate Lake. I hope they at least scoop them all out and compost them and turn them into fish fertilizer. That is good stuff and its organic.
very funny vf. I hope your floor is clean. I’d hate for you to roll around in the dust. lol

toxic
Adjective
1. poisonous: toxic fumes
2. caused by poison: toxic effects [Greek toxikon (pharmakon) (poison) used on arrows]
Calling inert mine tailings toxic is making stuff up.
A toxin, such as snake venom, is a poison.
Calling non toxic land fill, from the inside of a mountain, poison is nonsense and that is why Enviro-Zealots ruin their credibility.
Rose – Army Corps of Engineers can’t afford to get caught up in something that would not only be less than truthful but harm their reputation. Their reputation is on the line most of the time anyway. Why add to it.
The fact is that science is science – the scientific method of which archaeologists are aware has been in place for centuries. In this case, it proved lack of toxicity. Everyone knows that different areas produce different geological profiles. One cannot possibly take the Alaskan mine tailing case and use it as a precedent elsewhere. And remember, these things do go to court. The world will never be set up in such a way the precedent protects all similar situations.

sh, when I lived up north on my mountain, our place was in the flight path for jetfighters from Whidby Island who did maneuvers over our place and over the Columbia River Valley. oh boy, were they ever loud. One time during garlic harvest one flew right over our heads. It was so low that one of our workers ducked. It was quite amazing.
I always got a thrill from the jets when they were flying. The noise never really bothered me. It was fun.
Rose has said:

Earth to Rose – come in for a landing, girl!
The Cat is not just selling snake oil.
definition of poison:
1 a: a substance that through its chemical action usually kills, injures, or impairs an organism b (1): something destructive or harmful (2): an object of aversion or abhorrence
2: a substance that inhibits the activity of another substance or the course of a reaction or process
Rose – IMO – best not to plant garlic on mountain tops. It will not save you from vampires nor noise.
I have the same incongruous relationship with jet noise – with any noise. How about a wind mill on top of that mountain instead of say, garlic?
As the cat would screech – I’m not sure I can do it:
Hahee-Hacking cough – HA Ha – – aw heck – just can’t do the cat calls.

Would that include the Morning After Pill?
one thing I am not for certain. What exactly is going to kill the fish? Is it exposure to toxins? Will the tailings injure the fish’s gills. I will need to research this….
sh, you funny girl.
sami, yes I believe the morning after pill qualifies!
Great Galloping Goldfish – Sami and the GREAT CAT have the corner on tall fish tales and games.
I can reassure you, Sami, there is a small pond so full of them next door that their poop clogged the filtration system and almost shut them all down. Further, they are procreating at rabbit speed.
Thank you Rose. I love that you are honest.
Governor Palin would not put on waders to stalk goldfish. That would be another story for Andrea Mitchell.

CAT, you are making me dizzy with your googling skills and mental agility. A dizzy dog is an endangered dog.
Rose – even dogs are smart enough to avoid crabs. What’s to like – you guys can’t even walk a straight line – you are drunk with too much water!
Crab claws vs my jaws – imagine, Rose.
vf, the swimming cat was very cool. thanks.
sh, oh I’m sure you will try to play with me, testing me with your paw.
we don’t walk in a straight line because that is what everyone else does. We are non-conformists inside and out.
Hugs for SamHenry!
I called in sick to the air field. I’m pooped. I really do need to swim ashore to my hammock. Lovely among the trees if no cats are in them.
Dog overboard….
Hugs from shore, CAT – just pleeeeze stay out of the treeeeees so I can catch a dog dream or two.
wow this post went from 7 to 130 comment since I was last on!
Bye crab cakes!
Shucks, I’m sure I’ll get a tweet or an e-mail from that CRAB for that last one.
LOL at dog vs. crab.
he’s just practicing. wait until I get my claws in him. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
hey m2! yeah we been de-baitin’. hahahha
ba-bye sh!
LOL at dog vs crab? Okay – the name of my lawsuit. I take back the sorry I should not have called a cute crab “crab cakes.” Sharpen your pencils, dog dude is fit to be tied (pun unintended) and will see you and your tailings in court! What a precedent this will be. I’ll alert the media.
Bye M2. At least you respect a good old dawg. But this ole dawg shore nuff needs a nap.
I am back now blogiators. I saved enough power by shutting down my computer to save one gold fish. I am up and running now to better serve you.
All cats have the natural ability to swim even housecats. Most cats don’t like the water but they can swim just fine.
Or should we be bloginators?
I’m lost on all these metaphors…
pretty soon you people are going to be just talking in random Proper Nouns with no semblance of linkage to previous points.
Where be Foxwood? BTW? Still at moms?
I cannot believe it is 1pm already.
who is crab cakes?
I was a crab last week for sure. Until Palin bitch-slapped the Socialist Elite and I got happy. Ha ha ha.
lol m2.
crab cakes is I. clean out your cache and you shall see me as I really am….and I’m so glad you got happy, even if I had to be “bitch-slapped” to do it. heehee
m2 said: pretty soon you people are going to be just talking in random Proper Nouns with no semblance of linkage to previous points.
and I love your new avatar! it’s your best yet, imo.
crab scuttling to side of deck, peering over…
splash! ah….swimming happily away. I will be back to sink my claws into the next one who dares to try to bait me. go ahead…make my day.
It was a case of PMS. Sorry mens… but PMS is real.
Thanks,it’s my eye.
I just ate brocolli, rice, and no kidding- 3 cupcakes successively.
For some reason cache clearing never works on my browser (I use Safari), it will probably show up tomorrow after I turn off and restart the computer..
Safari
1. From the Safari menu, select Empty Cache… .
2. When prompted, click Empty to confirm that you want to empty the cache.
I also use CrapCleaner!
Woo HOO does it work good!

Ok I am back again to continue the baiting….. 🙂
Point counter Point: First question goes to rose.
1. Where was Obama born?
Rose correctly answered: Kenya
sami, I think that Obama was born in Hawaii. I am not sure of that however. I don’t know how one could keep a secret like that and get away with it.
I think it is a compelling question and I do want the truth to be told. I am holding out for evidence of his Kenyan birth. I will believe it when I see it.
sami, lol. don’t answer for me. that not fair.
man, the uyghurs and han chinese are rioting on my latest post! They are so hateful. I don’t know how they will resolve their differences. I fear for the uyghurs. It will not be a happy outcome for them, imo….
Rose says:
sami, lol. don’t answer for me. that not fair.
Sorry rose, I was using a Liberal format for our debate, roflol
LOL LOL LOL !!

samiam60 // July 8, 2009 at 2:05 pm
Rose correctly answered: Kenya
VF, sadly it doesn’t work on my safari. I have done that with “empty cache” and it never works…. Strange huh?
Yes Rose it looks bad for the ugliguys against the chinese for sure.
Next question goes to Rose:
Who will win the election in 2012?
Rose correctly answered: Sarah Palin
samiam60’s authentic 4th generation homemade spegetti sause is now ready with original meatballs from great great grandma. Mmmmmmm Mmmm, now thats Italian 🙂
sami, I predict the Rupublican candidate will win in 2012 and about 6 weeks later the world will implode. it will be the most explosive lame duck period in world history. hahahahaha
and I sure would love to get that spaghetti recipe. sounds absolutely scrumptious.
mange!
I don’t think the Republicans will chose Palin. I don’t think she will care. She has bigger fish to fry…
Rose thanks for being so much fun. I love that we can kid one another like this and not take offense at a little light hearted fun.
I have just completed a letter that I am sending to the EPA director Lisa Jackson and to my reps.
I rarely send letters to to lawmakers. I am so lazy. I send form emails all the time. I just don’t think they have much impact, although I guess if they receive enough of them it does. But a letter delivered by the USPS should show them that the issue is important to at least one constituent. I hope it will have the effect I want.
sami, you know what I was taught? If I can’t dance, I don’t want to be in your revolution…the same can be said for having fun.
If I can’t have fun, I don’t want to be in my revolution. I may as well join yours and reap all the wonderful benefits of a capitalistic government. lol
Rose
the republican party didnt want McCain. They favored Mitt. But McCain got the nomination. They will chose who ever is on top.
Hi Arlene so very good to see you.

Emanuel faces liberal pressure over ‘trigger’ comments
Posted: 02:05 PM ET
White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel came under fire from MoveOn Tuesday.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — The president’s health care reform package — which has faced resistance from conservatives who oppose a public insurance option — came under attack from liberals yesterday, with most of the fire focused on White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.
Emanuel’s apparent suggestion in a Wall Street Journal article published Tuesday that the White House would be willing to consider a “trigger” clause on a public option — to delay full implementation of the plan if insurance companies met certain conditions on coverage and cost — drew outrage from liberal members of Congress and MoveOn.org, which has poured millions of dollars into a campaign supporting the president’s health care proposal.
Progressive Caucus co-chair Rep. Raúl Grijalva of Arizona immediately sent a letter to President Obama denouncing the idea. And MoveOn — which has launched ad campaigns in recent weeks pressuring equivocal senators to support the president’s plan, and a public option — quickly turned its criticism on the White House.
“Can you call the White House switchboard and tell them you’re disappointed in Chief of Staff Emanuel’s comments supporting the ‘trigger’?” MoveOn asked in a message sent to supporters Tuesday. The e-mail included the number for the White House switchboard. “Tell them voters want a strong public health insurance option-not half-measures like the ‘trigger.'”
Within hours, the president issued a statement from Moscow that did not mention the controversy, but stressed his support for a public option. The statement did not specifically mention — or rule out — the use of a “trigger.”
“I am pleased by the progress we’re making on health care reform and still believe, as I’ve said before, that one of the best ways to bring down costs, provide more choices, and assure quality is a public option that will force the insurance companies to compete and keep them honest,” he said. “I look forward to a final product that achieves these very important goals.”
Yesterday afternoon, Emanuel himself headed to Capitol Hill, where he heard complaints from liberal lawmakers. The idea of a trigger option is popular with conservative Democrats — but according to Roll Call, legislators the chief of staff met with yesterday told him its inclusion in a final health care package would cost the proposal their support, sinking the measure.
House Energy and Commerce Chairman Henry Waxman said Emanuel had said what members were hoping to hear. “He doesn’t stand by the trigger,” Waxman told Roll Call. “He said the president and his administration and he are for a public plan as one of the options.”
Hello Arlene.
hi Arlene,
I hope for their sake they can find someone who can unite the party. That is what they need. Who to do it, that’s the big q. I can’t think of anyone, can you?
I think that by 2012 anyone who runs will be able to beat Obama. Even Putin had to lecture our President on the cold war history. Talk about inexperience. Gheeeeezzzzzzzzz.
sounds like the Obama’s team is maybe backpedalling on health care. They are bending to pressure.
How are they gonna get any guarantees from the insurance industry? Will they “cross their hearts and hope to die”? lol
Of course now that Obama has stated that the US would never under any circumstance us Nulear Weapons it is open season on America.
sami, the fact that Putin lectured Obama does not detract from Obama one bit. Putin had an agenda. Obama was probably being polite and possibly learned something from Putin. Perhaps Putin was able to enlighten him on some crucial points. It would be an act of arrogance to assume that Putin has nothing valuable to teach. I hope that Obama listened respectfully and acted cordially. I hope they made some progress in improving relations and the security of our world. It’s an impossible task, but I will give Obama credit for trying. I don’t know if anything will really work.
did Obama state that sami? that we will never use nuclear weapons? when was that?
gotta go get some lunch….
yes he did and I heard it myself on TV. I don’t have a link to it but I am sure it is out there. Also it is a sad day when an American President gets lectured by a Communist, PERIOD.
Here is part of what I heard in Print now.
http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2007/08/obama_and_nuclear_weapons.php
hello telit, sami & rose. i’ve been outside picking cucumbers & watching news. we got rain !!!!
By the way, the Putin Lecture to Obama was not a conversation and it went on for over one Hour.
That is humiliating for anyone let alone the President of the United States. Even Carter could have done better in this situation.
Arlene did you hear anything about Obama stating he would never use Nuclear weapons?
Sami
I must had missed that part of Obama’s remarks. I do recall him saying that he would reduce nuclear.
sami, you are listening to the pundits too much. You failed to point out that half the “lecture” was taken up in translation.
Your dismissiveness of Putin because he is a Communist (do you know what party he belongs to?) shows your unwillingness to accept diplomatic solutions to foreign affairs. If we dismiss everyone who doesn’t follow the ideologies that you embrace, we might as well build a 20 foot wall around the entire border of the US and construct a missile defense system “to die for”.
got your bomb shelter secured?
sami said: Also it is a sad day when an American President gets lectured by a Communist, PERIOD.
Sami
Obama was a hesitate on using force via sniper shots against the Somalian terrorists who attacked our flag ship & held captain hostage. He’s sheepish on water-boarding. So it would be a big stretch for him to want nuclear weapons.
Rose
Do you want to share a fox hole with Obama ?
here you go sami, I’m throwing you a bone…from the Washington Post:
Sen. Barack Obama ruled out using nuclear weapons against Osama bin Laden or terrorist cells in Afghanistan and Pakistan on Thursday, a promise that quickly became part of the escalating debate among Democratic candidates over national security.
“I think it would be a profound mistake for us to use nuclear weapons in any circumstance,” Obama said, when asked if there were any circumstance in which he would use nuclear weapons against Afghanistan or Pakistan. He then added that he would not use such weapons in situations “involving civilians.”
“Let me scratch that,” he told an Associated Press reporter after emerging from a meeting on Capitol Hill. “There’s been no discussion of nuclear weapons. That’s not on the table.”
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2007/08/02/obama_rules_out_nuclear_weapon.html
I am glad that Obama will not use nukes. I am not sure it’s a good idea to let everyone know that though…
My point Rose is that our President was Lectured not talked to by the Russian Putin. Big difference there. It was the attitude of Lecturing our President that is the issue here.
arlene, lol @ sharing a foxhole with Obama. I think that would be uncomfortable. But then again, Obama’s fox hole will probably be pretty “pimped out” I hope it has a private bathroom. I don’t like the idea not having privacy when I’m hiding from the enemy. I tend to need to “go” more when I’m nervous. hahaha
If our Country is ever attacked during Obamas tour you can bet our military will over ride his orders and launch a retalitory attack against any country that launches against us. It is called Deterence.
Hey Rose if you want to find Obama’s secret fox hole just call Biden
sami, ok. i get your point. I guess Obama should have stopped him if he indeed was “lecturing” and told him to stop. Then he should have taken a slug of vodka and a bite of rugalah and changed the subject to the new world order.
Rose says:

Awhhh, Rose, He should have been a President and stopped the Lecture in its tracks and yelled we will bury you. Just kidding, Putin did what he did because he knew he could get away with it. Obama’s weakness is world renouned now.
We need a Ronald Wilson Reagan again.
You have repeatedly shown yourself to be a defender of the weak and endangered Rose. I see a pattern here which might explain your being a extremist Liberal.
We are all just trying to help you dear.
Rose
since you sound willing to share that foxhole, who or what’s gonna be use as a sand bag?
sami, you are too sweet and your kindness humbles me. 😉
sami said: We are all just trying to help you dear.
arlene, how about all the mine tailings from the Kensington mine in Alaska. LOLOLOL

Hi Arlene, Sami and Rose – this is a quick data dump. The energy situation is complex but shifting. Note that wind is less popular than solar.
From the Financial Times today:
This is an article primarily about BP
Back to petroleum
By Ed Crooks
The figure indicates the markets think that BP has no prospect of long-term growth.
Industry trends suggest those fears are well founded. Western oil groups face pressure from assertive governments of resource-rich countries, and from ambitious rivals emerging in China, Russia and Brazil. BP and other western “majors” are being driven to the most difficult, high-cost reserves, such as Canada’s oil sands.
They are also beginning to run up against “peak demand”. As a result of the rise of biofuels and improvements in energy efficiency, oil consumption in developed countries may have passed its peak. Demand will continue to rise in emerging economies such as China, but western companies find it harder to operate in these markets.
“This recession has brought forward the point at which demand for one of our principal products, gasoline, will probably be in terminal decline in mature markets,” Mr Hayward says. “So one of the tasks is to figure out how we reposition our business to access more of the growth.”
A year ago, it looked as though he too thought renewable energy would be an important part of the answer. It starts from a lower base but is growing faster than oil and gas: by more than 10 per cent a year for wind and more than 20 per cent for solar during 2006-30, even without any additional incentives, according to projections by the International Energy Agency.
Many renewables are not profitable without subsidy, but governments are increasingly committed to them, most notably in the US. A global deal to curb greenhouse gas emissions at the United Nations climate change conference in Copenhagen in December would provide fresh impetus for all forms of low-carbon energy.
Fiona Paulus, head of energy at Royal Bank of Scotland, argues that a fundamental shift in the world’s energy supplies is coming. “A hundred years ago, the world’s fuel was primarily coal. Today it is oil. In the future, it will be renewable energy. By 2050, perhaps 50 per cent of our energy will be non-carbon-based.”
I found this watchdog group (Pro Publica) that is doing some fine work. Here is a place where they have compiled the Obama’s team disclosure records all in one place. The Obama admin. will only give you the details of each agency separately so this is handy if you want to look into the financial statements of the different agencies. It also includes ethics letters too.
http://www.propublica.org/special/the-obama-teams-disclosure-documents-407
Rose – this is your conscience speaking. We had discussed in an EM all you had to do today. I don’t think you are multi-tasking are you? Remember, we made a pact – we need to get the rest of our lives in sinc with online. Sorry to be a wet blanket. I just want you to be ultimately happy.
Dog overboard in advance of the crab. Bye Arlene, Mr, Sami et al.
PS Sami, one of my brothers has an online handle of “wolftoe.” Go figure!
thank you sh for the information on peak oil demand in decline in developed countries.
We need to do more to decrease the demand for petroleum in America.
which reminds me…I have to pay my car insurance premium. arghhh. I only drive my car when I need to and have cut my driving by more than 75% since December. I have filled my tank 3 times since then! But my insurance bill is almost $400 for the next 6 months. Thats more than 3X what I’ve spent on gas in the last 6! I asked them if they would reduce my premium because I quit driving but they told me absolutely not. boo hoo hoo.
sh, thank you for your concern. I have been multi-tasking a bit but have yet to start on the assignment that is dragging me down with thoughts of torture and self-mutilation. I am just trying to put it off for a little while longer. What better way to procrastinate than to blog here with all you good people?
but I’m sure you are right and I should go attempt to get some real life things done before I develop sores that will cause me to blog standing up. I need to diversify and take up something a little more active. Maybe I should try Chinese jump roping or ping pong…I want to get a leg up on the competition before they take control and change our national pasttimes….
Barack Obama’s pledge to Russia. We will get rid of our nukes and you get to keep yours. Words of wisdom from the” appeaser in chief”. Did you see the big smile on Putin’s face? He knows a fool when he sees one.
I wonder if he asked Putin for any tips on communism since Putin is from the old Soviet era he would be a valuable resource to the president.
Dang!
—when in office, “they revert to form”
-Ronald Reagan.
tellit
Little boys & girls have better bargaining skills that Obama. Do ya’ll remember: “I’ll show mine if you show yours”. But little boys want the girls to show their stuff FIRST.
But Obama will show Our’s; but Russia gets to keep their panties on. That’s messed up !!
Tickler tape reads that Palin will help campaign for TX Governor Perry in his re-election bid. Wow !!!
m2
Obama is gonna get us killed or put us in the hands of a foreign nation.
I’m not sure who raised Obama. Maybe his mama, grannie Toot or grandpa or that Indonesian or himself. But somebody raised a fool.
Legislation bill in house to kill free speech. MATTHEW SHEPARD HATE speech. This means the internet blogs, texting, etc….. Are ya’ll watching beck show ?

Obama to Putin: Ok 😀
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH VF YOUR TOO MUCH,
Will Conservatives be included as victims of Hate Crimes thus afforded protection? say…protection from the Obama Moonbat DHS???

Oh my gosh almost wet myself over here.
coo…
Will the USSR AND THE USA BECOME the USSRUSSA? USSR/USSA= unitedsocialiststates/russia
arlene, turn off fox and read the bill…
During the June 25 edition of CNN’s The Situation Room, correspondent Deborah Feyerick reported that “[s]ome lawmakers and religious groups are concerned” that a hate crimes bill Attorney General Eric Holder is “pushing” “could be used to criminalize conservative speech on abortion or homosexuality.” But Feyerick did not note that, as Holder made clear, the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act specifically states: “Nothing in this Act shall be construed to allow prosecution based solely upon an individual’s expression of racial, religious, political, or other beliefs” The bill also states: “Nothing in this Act shall be construed to prohibit any constitutionally protected speech, expressive conduct or activities … including the exercise of religion protected by the First Amendment and peaceful picketing or demonstration.” Furthermore, while Feyerick noted that Attorney General Eric Holder was “pushing” for passage of the bill, she did not note that in testimony that day, Holder specifically disputed the assertion that the bill could “criminalize … speech.”

Yeah … Right .. I get it !!!! Its like

Arlene you are a riot. 🙂
Obama to Putin: here is a gift from America…it is a baseball bat. It is a symbol of our freedom. After I ban all guns this is what Americans will use to try to regain their freedoms.
Putin to Obama: ROTFLMAO…you the man!
Putin to Palin: Lose “That One” and we can negotiate.
Palin to Obama: Michelle said to tell you to get your ass back to the hotel NOW… or Else!
Obama to Palin: Ok 😀
Putin to Obama: Our Army will march into your country backwards. You tell the Americans we are leaving.

Rose said:
“Putin to Obama: ROTFLMAO…you the man!”
Putin is saying that Obama is a damn fool!
Putin to Palin: ohh you are so lovely. I especially like when you leave the bathroom curtains open when you slip into the shower.
Palin to Putin: how would you like me to kick you in the balls?
Putin to Palin: what did I say?
LOL
Here is an exerpt of what Putin lectured Obama on:
Once upon a time…….
I bet Michell aint gonna give up her gun. Look at that woman. She don’t look rough for the hell of it.
Palin to Putin: Hi neighbor
Arlene says:
I bet Michell aint gonna give up her gun. Look at that woman. She don’t look rough for the hell of it.
Arlene you are on a roll. I have tears in my eyes already.
arlene, I agree with you there. Michelle is not a woman I would want on my bad side. She is no push-over, that is evident.
Putin to Palin: How much did that fancy house cost that is on that beautiful lake where you live?
Palin to Putin: oh that didn’t cost us anything. It was built by Todd and some of some of our “buddies” one weekend. All the materials and labor were donated. Our buddies are very grateful for all Alaska has done for their companies.
Putin to Obama: How did you afford that big beautiful house in Chicago:
Obama to Putin: I am friends with terrorists and crooks, they bought it for us.
Putin to Obama: As a guest in my Country we require to see your long form birth certificate.
Obama to Putin: Ahhhh, ahhh, duahhhh. immmm, ahhh.
vf, stickleback sticks? yum, my favorite. I heard that Gorton’s is phasing out that kind due to lack of supply….
vf said: pardon me… just finished a side stickleback fish sticks seasoned with Kensington Mine Tailings…
Obama to Putin: What did you think of the fight with Drago and Rocky? Where you there? I saw Gorbichov.
Rose Gorton’s is coming out with a new dead fish stick. They are easier to catch and keep longer in the fridge.
Palin to Putin: please try some of my stickleback-moose pie. It is an Alaskan favorite.
Putin: yuck. this tastes terrible!
Palin to Putin: well, I couldn’t find any fresh stickleback so I just threw in a bunch of dead ones. Just wash it down with some of that vodka and don’t be such a pussy. You betcha!
Almost time to watch Everybody Loves Raymond.
Ah no Rose your makin my sides hurt here. Hilarious! 🙂
sami, I enjoy the show! I’ll think of somemore later. 🙂
I meant, sami, enjoy the show!
We ordered the John Adams movie from Amazon & it just arrived today. We are gonna watch it after Oreilly.
I hear that Peter King called Al Sharpton a Pervert. So, King & Sharpton are suppose to spar on that show tonite. Anyone one taking bets? Time to take off the gloves.
Al Sharpton is Michael J’s favorite uhhh sexy senior citizen
Obama Job Approval Index hits minus 3; Sarah Palin Changes the Game; Gore calls people Nazis

Arlene said: I hear that Peter King called Al Sharpton a Pervert. So, King & Sharpton are suppose to spar on that show tonite. Anyone one taking bets? Time to take off the gloves
Arlene, What Time and What show? My friend here wants to know.
Thanks, a Mil.
VF
Sharpton is a legend in his own mind. Anything he touches turns negative. And now he’s got MJ on the chitterlings circuit. That’s a darn shame.
Warrant
I heard that its suppose to be on Oreilly Show.
warrantone, did you see the vid above about dogs vs cats? you are in it girl! check it out…
Hello all! I can’t believe I finally have a couple minutes to myself… I am sure it won’t last. I just wanted to stop by and say H E L L O!!!
belle, how you doing girl????
I am pretty tired… lol GOD I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S ONLY WEDNESDAY!!!
How are you doing?

I’ve been having way too much fun here today. I sure miss you…

I love your new avatar!! It’s hottttt…lol
I miss you guys everyday!
I told my friend that I was not going to attend his funeral this weekend.. lol aka wedding! I think it’s a mistake.
Oh my god! I wish somebody could tell me how a 15 year old can manage to cook for herself all day long until I get home… lol For some odd reason she can’t figure out how to feed herself the second I get home. ugh!
I will try to check back after dinner.
It shouldn’t take too long to order a pizza… haha I am just too tired to do much else.
Hi there Belle. Ohio was mentioned yesterday as one of the states where housing prices have stabalized. We in Western NY are the same area really. We were never part of the bubble so we have not lost the ground others have. Our housing is dirt cheap with some jobs left – a good combo.
Rose, dear. Auntie wants you to go to bed early. In another hour, you will have been blogging off and on for 12 hours. Not even VF is that stalwart. Balance my dear, maintain balance.
Oh, dear, that dog has discovered me using his computer – O – SAAAAAAAAM, I’m so glad to see you. Did you have a good poop in the front yard dear?
Thwonk – Sam – it’s not nice to push Mother to the floor.
Oh, that babbling bitch – and she makes me call her mother. I’m off to the mother info ship for a short time. Oh where are my ear plugs…..
Well, looks like WG has been here – tire tracks all over the gang plank. Now she has been messing with her name like chapters in a book. Just because that damn Basset drives a convertible doesn’t give her the right to make her name more difficult for the rest of us. Her sentences and her nervous, witch-like HA HAs are enough to raise Michael Jackson. I don’t see how she laughs and drives at the same time. Someone ought to report her to the Oxford English Dictionary (unabridged) for being a contradiction in terms.
Arlene – see you in a couple of days – it will take you about 48 hours to get through all the chapters in that movie but well worth it. It was so long and intense for me that when it was over, I didn’t turn on a light, I just lit a candle. It was really a great film about how our country will soon be getting back to basics: Good ideas, good people, but no indoor plumbing.
Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the Presidential election:
* Number of States won by: Democrats: 19 Republicans: 29
* Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000 Republicans: 2,427,000
* Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million Republicans: 143 million
* Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2 Republicans: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: “In aggregate, the map of the territory Republicans won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.
Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare…”
Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the “complacency and apathy” phase of Professor Tyler’s definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation’s population already having reached the “governmental dependency” phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegals and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.
If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete this message.
If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.

hahahaahah, You Guys! are soo funny! Oh mygosh! How can I remember it all? SH, you girl are so funny!!!! you are cracking me up with your ancedotes (did I spell that right?).
Rose, I will have to watch that video you are talkng about.
M2 – I agree with what you said earlier – that the subjects change so fast around here. That’s why I come on when everyone else is gone, gone, gone – I have my agenda – I launch it and leave. Talking past people is beyond the scope of an ole dawg.
Are you using some of that hocus pocus html stuff in the comment boxes to get that fancy line and italic font?
OMG that – that – that – isl a thing is here. What to do – what to say?
Ahem – Why hello there WG. I was just on my way to the love blog to see you.

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegals and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.
This is a foregone conclusion my wolfe. The reason, the politicos know that if amnesty is not an option, the illegals will just burn the country down. It’s that simple.
OH my gosh people. You need your own comedy hour. I love the Putin to Obama jokes.
I think that one about Putin and Bide was my favorite, re-post
sam said:
Biden to Putin: Look at our secret launch codes.
Putin to Biden: Well alrighty then.
SH say: If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegals and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.
Don’t for get Healthcare!
illegals are like 20% of the uninsured numbers Obama and co. like to guilt you into supporting their sub-standard healthcare bill for.
Pleeze, M2 – don’t remind me of how convoluted the government reasoning has become to blind us to what is really going on. We’ve lost plain and simple. I’m enjoying the sunset years of European culture in North America.
That’s what I say SH. It takes “work” to delude oneself that much. Some people are sitting around saying that February stimulus was “good” still.
Really?
My only conclusion is, it must take a lot of effort and work to delude oneself so much.
I think Obama policies are finished. He’s a lame duck prez now… I’m not sure the public will take any more ‘gang raping’ by Pelosi and the House.
Except for the coterie of people who got him elected and die hard Democrats, I would say he has had his day.
I think he is much more successful as a seducer than he is abroad. When you put him up against people like Putin, he looks like amateur hour.
Pelosi and Obama are finished in office. The honeymoon is over and everyone was disappointed with his performance.
I read some stuff today that the Russians just didn’t feed his media-induced ego that most other nations succumb to (namely ours). I think he had his day in that Germany speech of 2008 where he said he would “heal the waters” or something ridiculous.
Dedicated to Obama, America does not love you anymore:
Face it, his buds in Europe are the Sleeze Sarkozy and now the frequenter of brothels the Prez of Italy.
It may be a little thing but the replayed the vid of him killing that fly during an interview. It was chilling. He is a very calculating, powerful personality I would not want to cross.
bwha ha ha ha ha!!!
“this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last”
– Obama, Berlin
OMG, you crack me up.
well everyone’s favorite radio talk show host says Obama is a “cold” “calculating” man.
SH says: It may be a little thing but the replayed the vid of him killing that fly during an interview. It was chilling. He is a very calculating, powerful personality I would not want to cross.
SH Obama was more in tune to the fly then the interview if you think about it.
maybe he’s Soros’ terminator and not a man at all. He might have cross-hair trigger in his sight.
All we have to do is separate his actions from his words and we’ve won. He doesn’t really live his words – his sermons. Look, what Americans really want is the kind of coverage the workers for the US gov get – we can’t afford that. How to break it to them?
Sami – Yes – he is more in tune with that fly than the interviewer. Actually the interviewer was just another fly to him.
isn’t it funny what he says?
all flowery and bullshit, and they just ate it up with some media help.
Trouble is, that BS doesn’t pay bills.
bwha ha ha ha:
Just before writing the speech, Obama had heard people say of him, “He could be the second coming of J.C.”
He didn’t realize they were talking about Jimmy Carter.
The sad fact that Obama in moving so fast on multiple fronts has created a lot of confusion. There has been no time for thoughtful debate or response. Everyone says we have to have universal healthcare immediately because people have suffered too long. Well, rush things through and they may die before they get care with the long lines you will have. There is not just no money; there is no administrative structure.
Its been fun today M2, Sh, Rose, VF, WG, tellit, but I must lay me down to sleep and pray my soul to keep. Night all, tomorrow is a new day and we shall overcome.
The sad fact is, that is their intent and always has been. He is a fraud. He is allowing his party to push for 1-party domination, forever. In Left *cough* wisdom, “the end justifies the means”…

and that’s why they will turn on him.
People should always remember that Truth is always the winner. It comes out whether the Democrats want it to or not.
Good night SH, and Sam.

Today’s Quote:
“Americans grew tired of being thought to be dumb by the rest of the world,
so they went to the polls and removed all doubt.”
OBAMA IS MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL NOT WANT..
HE LEADETH ME BESIDE THE STILL FACTORIES.
HE RESTORETH MY FAITH IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
HE GUIDETH ME IN THE PATH OF UNEMPLOYMENT.
YEA, THOUGH I WALK THRU THE VALLEY
OF THE BREAD LINE, I SHALL NOT GO HUNGRY.
OBAMA HAS ANOINTED MY INCOME WITH TAXES.
MY EXPENSES RUNNETH OVER MY INCOME.
SURELY, POVERTY AND HARD LIVING WILL FOLLOW ME ALL THE DAYS OF HIS TERM.
FROM HENCE FORTH WE WILL LIVE ALL THEDAYS OF OUR LIVES IN A RENTED HOME WITH AN OVERSEAS LANDLORD.
BUT I AM GLAD I AM AN AMERICAN, I AM GLAD THAT I AM FREE. BUT I WISH I WAS A DOG AND OBAMA WAS A TREE.
I have been off for a couple of days is Obama still president?? Looks like the ring up the bill gang is now busy trying to raise taxes on the rich, and the balloon is being floated, sheepishly so for a second stimulus, is this not absurd? How can anyone who has even a minimum understanding of economics think we can recover as a nation when every turn this administration has it’s frigging hand in our pockets!!!
Oh yeah great job in Russia, the only people who knew he was there were the press and Putin who he thinks he can outsmart, BIG MISTAKE!! And the missile defense program he is selling us out on? I have one question can we vote now??
In three and a half years we will be so deep in debt, so beat down by legislation, so far from freedom we will be a nation of zombies. Time to hit the presses, time to blog our little fingers off, the tide has to turn and turn now. OK off to bed

We are about half way thru the John Adams movie. It’s very good. I did not know that Benjamin Franklin back stabbed Adams. And seems like Thomas Jefferson was a very smart man. The last scene we saw was when Adams passed out after they bled him.
We’ll watch the rest of the movie tomorrow.
Morning Early Birds! It is a new day.
And by the way… yesterday, after I posted this blogpost, Rasmussen Reports updated their Obama Job Approval Index poll results…
It dropped to MINUS 5
Seems Voter Minds are being Stimulated…
Morning VF 🙂
The sleeping Giant is awakening 🙂
BYE,BYE, BOMA
Morning Samiam!
Obama…. The One… who got in the way of economic recovery.
More Stimulus More Stimulus
Spread Wealth
Punish those who create economic strength…
It is Socialism that caused this mess… forcing banks to give loans to dead beats…
It is Socialism that blames Conservatism
Bottom line?
People do not trust Obama anymore.
I cannot say I have EVER seen a President so ridiculed within his first 6 months of Office. Seems the big talking guy has been exposed rather quickly and the American People are becoming infuriated over his lies and blunders. He is so done I would not be surprised to see his resignation within one year from now.
Obama “this is the worse economy since the great depression”
Biden “We underestimated the depth of the economic situation”
Reality, Obamas plan to leverage his crisis with his spendulus ideals figured he could blame Bush, implement his socialistic ways, and payback his cronies “Chicago: style, and still the economy would turn around and he would look like a hero to all.
Rookie mistake from the narcissist!! Morning all and gotta run, have a nice day, oh yeah, hide your money the boogie man is coming.
Our increasing debt and inability to repay that dept as a people shall bring about a depression unless something is not done immediately.
Presidente’ Obama this is for you.
Citizen Sarah Palin; please be our Next President 🙂
Sarah Palin in 2012
Here are some not so well known stats: Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the Presidential election:
* Number of States won by: Democrats: 19 Republicans: 29
* Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000 Republicans: 2,427,000
* Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million Republicans: 143 million
* Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2 Republicans: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: “In aggregate, the map of the territory Republicans won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.
Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare…”
Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the “complacency and apathy” phase of Professor Tyler’s definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation’s population already having reached the “governmental dependency” phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegals and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll
Wednesday, July 08, 2009 Email to a Friend ShareThisAdvertisement
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 32% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-seven percent (37%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of –5.
The number who strongly disapprove inched up another point to the highest level measured to date and the overall Approval Index is at the lowest level yet for Obama (see trends).
In the wake of last week’s disappointing report on job loss, consumer confidence has fallen to the lowest level in two months. The Rasmussen Investor Index shows investor confidence falling to the lowest level in three months. The number of investors who say the economy is getting worse jumped from 43% before the jobs report to 51% today.
The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates also available on Twitter.
Overall, 52% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance so far. Yesterday and today are the first time that the number of voters who approve of the President’s performance has slipped below the 53% share of the vote he won last November. Forty-eight percent (48%) now disapprove. For other barometers of the President’s performance, see Obama By the Numbers or review recent demographic highlights from the tracking polls.
An early look at the 2012 race for the Republican nomination shows Mitt Romney at 25%, Sarah Palin at 24%, and Mike Huckabee at 22%. Forty percent (40%) of GOP voters say that Palin hurt her chances of winning the nomination by resigning as Alaska’s Governor last week. Among all voters, Republicans now have a three-point edge on the Generic Congressional Ballot.
Sorry I didn’t read the earlier comments. It looks like Vf already covered the rasmussen pole. Sorry for the duplicate info.
What a surprise! See article below.
WASHINGTON — Billions of dollars in federal aid delivered directly to the local level to help revive the economy have gone overwhelmingly to places that supported President Obama in last year’s presidential election.
That aid — about $17 billion — is the first piece of the administration’s massive stimulus package that can be tracked locally. Much of it has followed a well-worn path to places that regularly collect a bigger share of federal grants and contracts, guided by formulas that have been in place for decades and leave little room for manipulation.

Up To 10,000 Illinois Prisoners May Be Released
Gov. Pat Quinn: Release Of Inmates Could Save Taxpayers $125 Million Reporting
Mike Flannery CHICAGO (CBS) ―
There are plans to layoff 1,000 corrections workers at Stateville Prison.
No Budget Deal Will Be Reached By Deadline
(7/1/2009)
Up to 10,000 convicted criminals could soon be released early from prisons across Illinois. It’s all because of the state’s budget mess. Gov. Pat Quinn says cutting those prisoners loose could save more than $100 million. But at what cost to you?
CBS 2 Political Editor Mike Flannery reports that some people are worried. They don’t want to pay higher taxes. And they don’t want these prison reductions set for Sept. 30, either.
“Oh, my God. I don’t agree with that at all,” one woman said. “They can pull money out of some other things.”
The proposed prisoner release stems from plans to lay off more than 1,000 corrections workers at Stateville Prison and a half-dozen facilities downstate.
The state’s making a list of thousands of so-called non-violent inmates with less than one year left to serve who could be released early. The governor says it could save taxpayers $125 million.
I wonder when California is going to open up their jails and let their prisoners go free. Scary stuff.
I am sure the 1,000 corrections workers who are laid off will be needed desperately on the local levels of law enforcement.
Morning tellitlikeitis.
Just business as usual in Washington. Just print more monoply money.
In health bill, billions for parks, paths
Supporters cite prevention, but add-ons’ critics see pork
WASHINGTON – Sweeping healthcare legislation working its way through Congress is more than an effort to provide insurance to millions of Americans without coverage. Tucked within is a provision that could provide billions of dollars for walking paths, streetlights, jungle gyms, and even farmers’ markets.
Discuss
COMMENTS (38)
The add-ons – characterized as part of a broad effort to improve the nation’s health “infrastructure’’ – appear in House and Senate versions of the bill.
Critics argue the provision is a thinly disguised effort to insert pork-barrel spending into a bill that has been widely portrayed to the public as dealing with expanding health coverage and cutting medical costs. A leading critic, Senator Mike Enzi, a Wyoming Republican, ridicules the local projects, asking: “How can Democrats justify the wasteful spending in this bill?’’
But advocates, including Senator Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts, defend the proposed spending as a necessary way to promote healthier lives and, in the long run, cut medical costs. “These are not public works grants; they are community transformation grants,’’ said Anthony Coley, a spokesman for Kennedy, chairman of the Senate health committee whose healthcare bill includes the projects.
good morning Sam!

good morning peeps!
I think it’s a good idea to release all the non-violent drug offenders and let the corrections officers go.
Why should taxpayers foot the bill of $30,000/yr to incarcerate drug criminals? Has incarceration worked to keep people off drugs?
People always think of the crazed drug addicts who rob and steal to pay for drugs, but that is a small percentage. Most drug users and even addicts hold jobs and pay taxes. Is it really helping them or society to spend so much to lock them up without giving them the help they need?
Morning Rose I see you are on a Save the Criminal’s trek this morning. Perhaps you can find them housing in your neighborhood?
I wonder if he paid his taxes on that illegal money. probably not. Democrats don’t pay taxes.
Jury sees videos of La. congressman accepting cash
By MATTHEW BARAKAT – 1 day ago
Jury sees videos of La. congressman accepting cash
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A federal jury has seen video of a former Louisiana congressman accepting a suitcase filled with $100,000 in cash outside a northern Virginia hotel.
The videos played Tuesday are a key piece of evidence in the bribery trial of William Jefferson, a Democrat who represented parts of New Orleans. He’s accused of accepting more than $400,000 in bribes to broker business deals in Africa.
The FBI recorded the pickup from four different angles, all of which were shown to the jury.
On the video, Jefferson seemed wary of accepting the money in public. When asked by an FBI informant if he wanted to peek inside the suitcase at the contents, he tersely replied, “No, I would not.”
Jefferson’s lawyers have said Jefferson’s business deals weren’t illegal.

Its seems the Democrats in Louisiana are absolutely corrupt. Perhaps this explains the painlessly slow recovery from Katrina.
sami, I could find them housing here easily, but not a job. I realize that is a big, big problem. But do we lock people up because there is no better place for them? They are not going to have an easier time finding work if they are released 10 years from now. But our deficit will continue to increase and we will be worse off for it.

Answer: Go for it.
Hi Tellit, Sami and M2
Before I jump in on a subject you are discussing – a little word to M2.
I noticed a lot of heavy makeup and same shape to all of the female eyebrows on CNN so I did an “eye” report on them:
http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-248740
Now it seems on all of WordPress, there are actual eyes looking out at me – many probing, many laughing, many down right scary. from M2 to Morb. You are forcing me to put a dog eye on this site!
tellit, I have lots of camping supplies. I predicted we’d see huge tent cities springing up all over the country this summer. I haven’t seen them. Iguess we need to wait until everyone’s unemployment runs out. I hear that they may extend unemployment again instead of another stimulus package. I don’t think people will go for another stimulus. I think Congress is starting to wake up and jump ship.
I don’t like the direction we are going but I think anyone who thinks that we would have recovered from the economic collapse that we experienced last Fall is naive.
Our economy fell apart in October and it was not Obama’s fault. I think that people conveniently forgot that.
With that said, I realize the stimulus isn’t working. I know there is too much waste and mismanagement. I don’t think we can cure that. I don’t think a free market system works indefinitely. I think at some point it collapses because we have too many damn people and not enough resources to support them all.
and good morning m2!
and hello sh!
Good morning SamHenry! Rosehips, you will see the tent cities spring up when the unemployment benefits are exhausted. Some will be spared the street and will live with family or friends.
Rose says:

DAMN PEOPLE, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
How could you say that Rose?
Good Morning Rose, M2, SamH!
The lie was calling it a stimilus bill. It was a big government spending bill. They knew it wasn’t going to stimulate the economy because they thought the economy was going to right itself by itself without them doing anything. What has taken them by surprise is the economy has gone farther south than they predicted and no they are scrambling for other solutions.
sami, I am not damning people. Are you reading something into my words that I didn’t intend.
But now that I think about it. Yes DAMN PEOPLE!
It’s not just that there’s too many people but that the American dream got out of control. Too many people thought they deserved and were entitled to a big home, fancy car, and all the toys that our society has come to lust after. They overspent, maxed out credit cards, and failed to have a back-up plan if they lost their jobs. I think the consumer mentality is really what has sunk us.
hey vf!
An Eye Looking At You? don’t be silly tee-hee

The democrats know that if this economy is still in the dumper by 2010 their gooses are cooked. The George Bush excuse is starting to wear really thin now and people are no longer buying it.
lol rose!
You wrote “…Too many people thought they deserved and were entitled to…”
yup that just about sums up the problem with wealth spreading… too many people thought they deserved and were entitled to…”
What is it you do to make a new avatar show?
Well whomever thought the economy would right itself by doing nothing is a fool.
And anyone who underestimated how bad things were is a fool too. We are a nation of fools. sigh.

I think the Fanny Maes and Freddie Macks of America sold the American people a bill of goods knowing they could never repay. Acorn played a huge part and two years of a Democrat congress under Bush did not help now did it Rose. What would you suggest we do with all the Damn People you feel are the problem?
Tellit, the old saying… “They bigger they are, the harder they fall” certainly applies to The Enchanted One…

Yep, I agree. I don’t think socialism will help the economy. I don’t think capitalism would have been able to restore what was done to it.
tellit: Capitalism built this economy, greed has damaged it and socialism will destroy it.
Rosehips, The economy would have eventually come back without government interference. It has many times in the past. The government started this mess with the fanny and freddy stuff. They are the ones that got the snowball rolling down the hill and now the same idiots that caused the problem think they can fix it. Without the housing meltdown and the energy rip offs the economy would not be this bad now.
Barack Obama is so blinded by his own arrogance i’ll bet you he doesn’t even realize how what ever credibility he still has left is being diminished daily.
Obama’s newest Czar…. The Blame Czar
Obama is the new voice of Billy Mays in that he has really Sham Wowed us all.
Blame Czar’s response to Failed Stimulus Bill…
It was Bush’s fault, next question?
yes tellit, I’ve heard this said over and over. And I think that people who say it are naive. Just because it has always bounced back DOES NOT mean it would this time. We live in a different world. How many people lived on earth during the great depression?
We have almost 7 billion on the planet. Natural disasters are causing increasingly more damage at greater expense. Health care costs are staggering.
I do not give dems a pass. I think anyone who maintained that people have a right to own a home were misguided. People who can afford it certainly have a right. But its not only the lawmakers who are at fault. I do give people more credit than perhaps they deserve. But I think they got too much credit and they should have known it.

Power to the People:
Obama’s Putin lecture woke up an American People I do believe.
Rosehips, This economy was always built on a house of cards. One reason why it is worse now is because of fear. People are hoearding their maoney and not spending it. The savings rate has gone from zero percent to 7 percent now. Seventy percent of this economy is driven by consumer spending. The people that are still working are having their discressionary income eaten up by higher fuel, electric, grocery bills primarily not to mention ever increasing taxes on the local level
thanks sami for that. just Imagine if Lennon was still alive. I’d vote for him.
Couers Press Release re: Kensington Mine Victory over Enviro-Zealots
INJUNCTION LIFTED FOR KENSINGTON TAILINGS IMPOUNDMENT FOLLOWING FAVORABLE SUPREME COURT RULING
With Expected Reinstatement of previously enjoined 404 Permit,
Work Can Proceed Toward Expected 2010 Mine Startup
COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho – July 8, 2009 – Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation (NYSE:CDE, TSX:CDM, ASX:CXC) announced today that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has lifted its injunction regarding the Kensington Gold Mine 404 tailings permit, following the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that affirmed the permit.
With the expected reinstatement of the 404 permit by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Coeur may resume construction of the tailings facility, the only component remaining to be constructed at the mine, and for production to commence as scheduled in the second half of next year. Construction of the tailings facility was suspended in August 2006 with the issuance of the original injunction. On June 22, 2009, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the earlier judgment of the Ninth Circuit Court.
Kensington is a major gold project 100% owned by Coeur and located 45 miles northwest of Juneau, Alaska. The mine is expected to produce approximately 125,000 ounces of gold annually, representing a 135% increase for Coeur over the Company’s current gold production levels. Kensington is expected to provide immediate economic impact and job creation to Juneau and Southeast Alaska.
Proven and probable reserves measure 1.5 million ounces of gold.
About Coeur
Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation is one of the world’s leading silver companies and also a significant gold producer. Coeur will have its first full year of production this year at the world’s largest pure silver mine – San Bartolomé in Bolivia – and began production in March at another world-leading silver mine – Palmarejo in Mexico. The Company also operates underground mines in southern Chile and Argentina and one surface mine in Nevada; and owns non-operating interests in two low-cost mines in Australia. The Company also owns a major gold project – Kensington in Alaska – and conducts exploration activities in Argentina, Chile and Mexico.

I belive this is part of the problem. We shouldn’t depend on consumer spending. People should save their money and buy houses when they can afford them. If everyone lived more modestly, I think we would be better off.

Lower Slate Lake is a sucky litttle lake with sucky little fish… it is convienent that it is there to temporarily contain pristine silt from the mine.
The lake is not going to die… it is just going to “CHANGE” for a while…
imagine that. people are getting wealthy in a socialist regime. who woulda thunk?

I should have been paying attention to tailings. I’ll bet you have stock, CAT
hahaha. love that they have convinced people that the silt is “pristine” How can something so beautiful kill all aquatic life in the lake?

Rose, Rose, Rose, what are we gonna do with you?
Now, what would you have us do with all those too many people we have?
Will this end discussion of this landfill?
Well like the saying goes money talks and BS walks and that is why I have spent a fortune in shoes over the years. lol
I agree with Rose that consumerism should not be the sole basis of our economy. Since we don’t manufacture anything anymore and what we do manufacture, the Chinese are working on competing with (Pharma) now what? I’m all for free markets but what do you do when there are no markets just Chinese imports?
sami, that is the trillion dollar question. I’m not sure what we could have done. How can you stop people from procreating? It’s natural. But I believe that the Creator will judge us by how we treat the poor.

New song sans video:

New song
People
People who procreate people
Are the unluckiest people in the world
They are debt ridden
And they are living all hidden
In tents and parks and cars….
Gong, wrong again Rose:

Rose helping the poor is not sin. God will be judging sin.
But do you like my songs, Rose?
“Hey diddle diddle
The cat ate the fiddle
and the dish ran off with a fear, dear…”
That’s all she wrote folks.
sami, I don’t really think there is a right or wrong when talking about the Creator. I realize you believe what the Bible tells you, but I’m sorry to say that I only take it with a grain of salt. It is not based on fact, only hearsay. sorry.

sh, lol. I love your songs. You are not only a wordsmith but a songsmith too!
Retail Sales Miss the Mark as Consumers Curb Spending
Topics:Economy (U.S.) | Earnings | Consumers | Stock Picks | Stock Market | Corporate News
Sectors:Retail
Companies:Costco Wholesale Corporation | CompaniesBy: CNBC.com | 09 Jul 2009 | 08:41 AM ET Text Size Retailers were posting disappointing monthly sales Thursday as consumers curbed spending amid higher gasoline prices and rising unemployment.
——————————————————————————–
In addition, wet weather dampened demand for summertime merchandise.
Even before these factors, chain stores were facing difficult comparisons with the year-ago period, when consumers had a little extra cash in their pockets from economic stimulus checks.
Based on the early results from retailers, shoppers continued to trade down to less expensive products and focus their spending on the essential items. This doesn’t bode well for retailers, who are beginning to stock merchandise for the back-to-school shopping period.
Although weak results were seen across all sectors, the trend was especially pronounced among apparel retailers.
This is worth hearing again and may explain why the poll numbers are now -8 for Obama.
Tellit – I come from a retailing family – sold clothes and other dry goods through several downturns. Clothing is the worst investment you can make. It is the first thing people cut back on. Figures don’t exist for it but I’ll just bet all of those retail customers are over at Goodwill and other places.
Rose the difference between us is that I have a foundation and a source to base my belief’s on.
What do you base your Beliefs on that give you the opinion you just quoted? If you are right we are all off the hook. If not, then we are all without excuse.

sami, I think you have it in your head that people find that much significance in the “lecture”. c’mon. so what if Putin lectured Obama. and what if Obama listened to him? so what. Perhaps Obama gained insight from hearing Putin’s perspective on the cold war. Is it so bad to listen to what other foriegn leaders have to say? Just because you are obsessing over this supposed sign of weakness, I don’t think you should assume that other Americans are really putting that much significance in it.
Putin lectured Obama. Big deal.
Kennedy knew brinksmanship to a degree. He stood up to Kruschevz and caused him to blink.
In a similar situation, what do you think Obama might do? Saying Aaaaa a a A aa isn’t gonna cut it.
sami, well I do have a foundation. I was subjected to religious instruction and sermons for 12 years. What I learned is that the bible was written by men, who are inherently imperfect and have been known to exaggerate and lie. They glorify humans and create gods. Look at Obama.
How many years after the death of Christ was the Bible written? How can you put so much faith in words handed down through generations? That’s foolish.
Reagan used the only language the Russians understood. Strength! Tear down this Wall.
The Evil Empire. All things the Russians respected knowing this man (Reagan) meant business.
sami, was that “brinkmanship”or “blinkmanship?”
sami said: Kennedy knew brinksmanship to a degree. He stood up to Kruschevz and caused him to blink.
And yet this Foolishness is the very foundation of our modern world two thousand years later. I stick with the tried and proven over your foundationless blief’ any day.

Independents begin to edge away from President Obama
In a potentially alarming trend for the White House, independent voters are deserting President Barack Obama nationally and especially in key swing states, recent polls suggest.
Obama’s job approval rating hit a — still healthy — low of 56 percent in the Gallup Poll on Wednesday. And pollsters are debating whether Obama’s expansive and expensive policy proposals or the ground-level realities of a still-faltering economy are driving the falling numbers.
But a source of the shift appears to be independent voters, who seem to be responding to Republican complaints of excessive spending and government control.
“This is a huge sea change that is playing itself out in American politics,” said Democratic pollster Doug Schoen. “Independents who had become effectively operational Democrats in 2006 and 2008 are now up for grabs and are trending Republican.
“They’re saying, ‘Costing too much, no results, see the downside, not sure of the upside,’” he said.
The White House denies there’s been any real shift.
“The independent numbers I have seen, public and private, have been relatively steady,” Obama’s senior political adviser, David Axelrod, said in an e-mail.
Another political adviser dismissed small state polls as statistically questionable and pointed out that Obama’s own numbers remain strong, by historical standards— with an average 59 percent approval rating among independents in June, according to Gallup.
Pollsters from both parties debate the numbers’ meaning, but averages of public polls have shown a gentle downward trend.
Obama retains extremely strong support from Democrats, and earlier this year lost much of the Republican support that followed a giddy Inauguration. It is the independents who appear to be currently on the move: Obama dropped 6 percentage points last week from the week before in Gallup’s tracking poll, and Quinnipiac University found a 5-percentage-point drop in approval from independents between early June and early July. Recent state polling shows drops over longer periods.
sami, sorry about the “foolish” comment. I don’t mean to insult anyone who has faith in the Bible. I’m glad people do. If we didn’t have faith, I think the world would be much worse for it.
I’m home!
Thank you Rose but I never took that as an insult from you at all. We are friends and free to speak our minds with each other. I just love your spirit.
Foxwood is BACK. I am so glad to see you hear. I have had to debate Rose all by myself and let me tell you she is tuff.
Fox I must also confess that Debating Rose caused me to hug a tree.
and I am not foundationless. I was brought up in a Christian home by devout parents. My dad went to church EVERY DAY. He tried to set an example for his 7 children. I am afraid it didn’t work. I do have one brother who recently returned to the church but I don’t think any of my other siblings attend. I have one sister who is a Buddist. I am more prone to the teachings of Buddha, but I am very influenced by Christ and would count him among one of my biggest influences in my life, perhaps the biggest when I come right down to it. I have never said that before, but it just might be true.
It all comes down to interpretation. I take what I want from the Bible and what I believe Christ’s true message was. I believe strongly in the “golden rule”. Do unto others…
I know Sam, and I’m sorry I missed it.
Oh, I missed you to Rose!
Hey foxy! welcome back!
sami, lol. I love you.
HI FOX
We have gone from Tailings to the Talmud in the space of 2 hours. Retail stats in between.
I have to ready myself for some doctor examinations. Those are tough. I don’t have all the answers to their tests. I hope I pass.
DOG and satire overboard…
Oh! 2 Sams here! Thanks all!
Rose forget religion and the teachings of man. If you are open to the teachings of Christ than that is ALL you will ever need. I am not a member of any organized religion at all. I too feel that man corrupts everything and so It is just me and Jesus in this life and the next.

sh, have a good day and good luck with the tests. I am going to have to go soon. I have deadlines looming and weights on my shoulders that are getting too heavy to bear. I must pull away from my favorite place here and reintegrate into my life out there.
sami, you see, we have more in common than I think we both realized. 🙂
