Cloward and Piven must be Proud!
See… Obama The Bush-Blamer said he would fix the economy …that he The Wealth Spreader knew how …that he The Government Grower would fix it swiftly …if American Voters gave him The Enchanted One the chance and elected him as president. Well… he is spreading the wealth and is growing the government.
A majority of American Voters, aside from die hard Liberals who always vote Democrat and die hard Conservatives who always vote Republican, called him on his HOPE and CHANGE and, by electing him, gave him the opportunity to prove his Campaign Slogan of “YES WE CAN.”
Or did that slogan mean “Yes We Can [Get Elected] ???
What ever it meant, Obama took on the Economy as Job One and ram-rodded through Congress a $787 Billion Dollar “Stimulus” (Pork) Spending Bill which uses NEW money borrowed from China (money which we now have to make interest payments on in the 100s of millions dollars and are not paying down the principle).
Ok… so… where are the jobs?
What was that money used for that was going to create jobs? Real jobs… in sustaining American companies small and large? Where are the new companies? Why are so many companies still going out of business? You said you would fix it and it is not getting fixed, it is getting worse by the day.
The Latest unemployment numbers are at 9.5% and the next jobless announcement is predicted to top 10%.
Where are the JOBS, OBAMA? And do not even think of telling us it is Bush’s Fault. We handed you the ball and you ran with it. Seems you are better at Basket Ball than Economics. And what is this new talk from your Stimulus Czar that a Second Stimulus Bill might be coming? You have only spent 10% of the First Stimulus Bill!
And now???? You want to tax the crap out of us with this idiotic Cap and Trade Energy Taxation Bill???
And… spend what is projected to be an additional $4 Trillion Dollars to create a State Controlled Health Care System? With who’s Money, Big Spender??? We don’t have the money… and China has cut off your credit line.
Do you still not get it, Obama?
You were expected to FIX STUFF
Not MAKE IT WORSE!
More and more voters are getting pissed off that they voted for you Barack… they trusted you.
Well, I never trusted you for one second thus did not vote for you. I saw early in the campaign what would be coming if Hillary lost the nomination. While I am a conservative, I realized the country was going to swing back from the Right and towards the Left… and Hillary was the lesser of two evils of the left.
You Sir, are a Colossal Train Wreck as a President
Oh, and your Job Approval Index? It is now -8
so says Rasmussen for 07/09/09

What happened to “this is the worst economy since the Great Depression” words verbatim from POTUS. So they didn’t know “how bad it was” after telling Americans that?

It’s very sad to see the Democrat Party leadership corrupt the party so badly in the name of gaining power. That sort of evil just back-fires eventually.

He thought he could pen her off as SOS… I think he’s made grave mistakes, regarding his Chicago-thug treatment and inflated-egotism, believing he can get away with it.
New Jobless Claims Plunge; Continuing Claims Hit Record
The number of newly laid-off workers filing initial claims for jobless benefits last week fell to lowest level since early January, largely due to changes in the timing of auto industry layoffs.
Continuing claims, meanwhile, unexpectedly jumped to a record-high. While layoffs are slowing, unemployed workers are having a difficult time finding new jobs. The unemployment rate rose to 9.5 percent last month and is expected to top 10 percent by the end of this year.
New claims for unemployment insurance plummeted by 52,000 to 565,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. That’s significantly below analysts’ expectations of 605,000, according to Thomson Reuters. The last time new claims were below 600,000 was week of Jan. 24.
The drop resulted partly from technical factors, a department analyst said. Auto layoffs that normally take place in early July, as factories are retooled to build the next year’s models, occurred in the spring instead as General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC implemented sweeping restructuring plans.
The department’s seasonal adjustment process expected a large increase in claims from auto workers and other manufacturing workers, the analyst said. Since that didn’t occur, seasonally-adjusted claims fell.
The non-seasonally adjusted figure increased by about 17,000 to 577,506 initial claims.
Still, continuing claims jumped 159,000 to 6.88 million, the highest on records dating from 1967. Analysts had expected 6.71 million continuing claims.
Continuing claims had fallen in two of the previous three weeks. The data lag initial claims by a week.
Employers Cut 467,000 Jobs; Unemployed Rate 9.5%
Economists are closely watching the level of first-time claims for signs the economy will recover in the second half of this year, as many predict. But the change in the timing of auto layoffs will likely muddy the picture next week as well, the Labor Department analyst said.
The four-week average of initial claims, which smooths out fluctuations, fell to 606,000, down more than 50,000 from its peak in early April.
Still, claims remain elevated: they were at 367,000 a year ago.
Consumers and businesses have cut back on spending in response to the bursting of the housing bubble and the financial crisis, sending the economy into the longest recession since World War II.
The Labor Department said last week that employers cut 467,000 jobs in June and the unemployment rate rose to 9.5 percent, the highest in 25 years.
The payroll cuts last month were greater than analysts expected, renewing concern that jobs will remain scarce even if the economy does eke out growth later this year.
Some employers are still shedding jobs. Gannett Co. Inc., which publishes USA Today and 85 other daily newspapers, said last week that it will eliminate about 1,400 jobs, or 3 percent of its work force.
Among the states, New Jersey reported the largest increase in initial claims, with 7,876, which it attributed to seasonal layoffs related to school closings and manufacturing job cuts. The next largest increases were reported by Massachusetts, Kansas, Kentucky and New York. The state data lags initial claims by one week.
Florida reported the largest decrease, with 12,493, which it attributed to fewer layoffs in the construction, manufacturing and agriculture industries. Illinois, Pennsylvania, California and Tennessee reported the next largest drops.

Pelosi emerged with hair and nails newly minted to tell not explain to us all what is going to be.
She is right in your face about taxing the rich – a group to which she and the other legislators belong. Big difference: Government employees have the cadillac of medical insurance; members of Congress can vote themselves pay increases in a pinch.
The bottom line is that the song they are singing in Washington is “all the world but me and thee.”
I don’t think most citizens know how all inclusive government employee health insurance is. I say that there should be cutbacks in this insurance or a tax put on it so that government types don’t get out ahead of those that employ them – we the people.
REMEMBER, MS PELOSI – YOU work for us; not the other way around. Attitude change needed.

CQ TODAY ONLINE NEWS – INTELLIGENCE
July 7, 2009 – 10:03 p.m.
House Chairman Says CIA Lied to Lawmakers
By Tim Starks and Edward Epstein, CQ Staff
House Intelligence Chairman Silvestre Reyes has suggested Republicans would be well advised to avoid politicizing the intelligence authorizaton bill later this week in light of evidence that, he says, shows that the CIA “affirmatively lied to” the panel.
In a Tuesday letter to his committee’s top-ranking Republican, Peter Hoekstra of Michigan, that was obtained by Congressional Quarterly, Reyes, D-Texas, wrote that the committee has recently received information that reveals significant problems with the intelligence agency’s reporting to the panel.
“These notifications have led me to conclude this committee has been misled, has not been provided full and complete notifications, and (in at least one occasion) was affirmatively lied to,” Reyes wrote.
Reyes did not describe or detail the alleged false or misleading statements to the committee.
http://www.cqpolitics.com/wmspage.cfm?docID=news-000003159736&cpage=1
First I’m reading my National Geographic then a book a friend gave me to read and I will let you know the title.
I think you should write a report on the citation you just provided on my post. Afterward – OUTSIDE, woman.
The Karma with the Dharma is back, hey Rose, that article about the intelligence issue and the lying to congress is not about the torture and waterboarding that Pelosi stated she did not know about. It was misinformation about ongoing operations that were already disclosed. It is also an attempt to get Pelosi’s ass out of the sling she put it in by saying the CIA lied!!!
That has to be the dumbest thing she could have said, also the letter should have never been disclosed and it is politics at its best!!!! She should be as well as Sylvester Reyas should be kicked the hell off the intelligence committee!!!
Hey SH
Leon is refuting the statement in the letter issued by the “Get the CIA 8”
There is going to be a dust up
karma, I realize it’s not about waterboarding but it shows that the CIA has not always been forthcoming to the intelligence committee and that lends some of us to question whether they can be believed about anything. They did imply that there was at least one lie told….
you know what they say about the boy who cried wolf? woof woof woof ow-ohhhh
Hey VF when you have members of the intelligence committee playing politics with the CIA, NEW FLASH the CIA will always win. She should have apologized and went on her way, this will be the end of Peolsi, and the 8 blind mice!!!!
Leon is refuting his statements?
oy vey.
How can we know who is lying and who is truthful???
well Pelosi did put the kabash on the mj congressional tribute.
gotta agree with her on that..
Rose if I were ever in the position as a CIA operative or field operations, the very last people I would tell would be the intelligence committee, especially when the level of experience on that committee is like committee=boy scouts, CIA ghost bad asses. There lives depend on secrecy and you have these stupid shits on the committee saying that the CIA lied, do you think that they will ever trust anyone of those 8 blabbermouth opportunists!!! short answer, FUCK NO
PS: The CIA has never been in politics, they create it.
Speaking of field operations, do you see how consistent that the top GOP candidates are either being harassed or exposed?? This is beyond synchronicity, Bomwow has a team of dirt diggers and hell he might even have the help of the CIA, but this is beyond a coincidence.
ok karma, what about the President. Would you tell Obama the truth?
First rule of let’s say politics, find dirt, second constant, everyone has dirt. Some politicians make a pile of dirt to be used later, some use it up quickly. Moral of the story, all politics is collection of shit on your opponent, then spin it to gain favor and create fervor.
I know karma, ain’t politics fun?
Would I tell him the truth, I would love to tell him the truth, me and him and his SS detail, I would be glad to tell him the truth!!
If you are talking about covert operations, there have been presidents you could trust and others you could not, he is not one I would trust, and for the record, covert operations regardless of which division is in charge they never tell the whole truth, that is a give and it has been since the OSS and the CIA were created right after the second world war!
I believe that karma, so why do you think they wouldn’t have lied to Pelosi?
or are you saying that there is a chance she was lied to?
Karma, if there is one group Politicians are advised not to crap on it is the CIA.
Panetta advised there have been isolated incidences where a CIA rep did not do a good job advising Congress… people will be people… but he catagorically stated the CIA does not systematically mislead Congress.
There would be people going to Federal Prison if that were the case.
If Pelosi keeps pushing it… Panetta will have no choice but to drop the hammer on her scrawny ass.

This is an info drop. I AM on my way out of here but just saw this from the Daily Beast re health care legislation.
MoveOn
by Matthew Yglesias
Matthew Yglesias is a Fellow at the Center for American Progress Action Fund. He is the author of Heads in the Sand: How the Republicans Screw Up Foreign Policy and Foreign Policy Screws Up the Democrats.
The real issue here is that reasonableness is a losing quality in legislative negotiations. It doesn’t make sense to kill an otherwise good health-care bill just because it doesn’t include a public option. But by the same token, it also doesn’t make sense to kill an otherwise good health-care bill just because it does include a public option. But if legislative leaders know that one side is willing to be reasonable and the other side isn’t, then they’ll ensure that it’s the unreasonable side that wins. Congressional leaders, at the end of the day, are about assembling majorities by any means necessary, not about logic or consistency. And progressive activists, by threatening to be unreasonable, are starting to make progress.
Just yesterday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid unexpectedly told Baucus to stop chasing Republican votes and try to put together a bill that Democrats can support. And there’s similar talk from the House of Representatives, where leaders are trying to communicate to the White House and the Senate leaders that only a bill with a public plan can pass.
This is all to the good if it works. But it is a dangerous game. Way back in 1974, a scandal-weakened Richard Nixon was prepared to agree to a universal-health-care compromise plan brokered by Ted Kennedy. But ultimately congressional liberals and left-leaning interest groups killed the plan, anticipating better times to come after the midterm elections. Thirty-five years later, you don’t see anyone who thinks that was a smart move. A credible threat to do something irrational, in other words, can be a powerful force in politics. But actually following through can be a huge mistake.
Read my lips… they would go to prison for it.
The Socialists are fond of lying that others lie… and will get it snapped off in their collective asses for it in this instance.
Keep cheerleading for them… I want to see them go down in shame.
rosehips says
I believe that karma, so why do you think they wouldn’t have lied to Pelosi?
OH, hell, the CAT is here and it is harder to leave. Soir, Chat
The CIA’s job is disinformation, duuuuhhhh
Because that was documented, had numerous other individuals involved in the conversations and there is no plausible deny-ability
Pelosi was power hungry and though she could get away with the statement for political gain, she got her ass called on the carpet by the CIA, she has some leverage in that the conversations if released would be damaging to operations and public opinion, but she knew, I would bet my life and my friends life on that fact!
K – you would bet the life of a friend? We are no longer friends. Confirm – no longer friends.
Sam I am that sure, this one you have to trust me on. I would never make that kind of statement unless I was 100% sure, and I am.
Hi SamH, mon amie!
News flash>>> it is no big revelation that we waterboarded, nor is it that out of public opinion and politics at that time everyone from both parties were jumping on board the war bus because PUBLIC OPINION was on there side!
Bad Politicians play politics with the CIA…
Vraiment, Chat. It is amazing to me that Petite Pelosi is pirouetting around health care and avoiding le CIA. She was all charm and health care.
She has pissed off the wrong group of Patriots…
The last thing a Politician should do is play politics with the Central Intelligence Agency…
Karma is magnified 1 million fold in their case
Politicians who want to end there careers quickly play with the CIA, no one and I mean no one messes with them. Keep your eyes peeled, it might take awhile but she will be minimalized soon enough!
I can’t believe how many, many issues have been raised with Himself out of the country en famille by Biden and Pelosi and others. They also took advantage of the Michael Jackson media cover.
Karm – Le parlance CIA is “marginalized.” And in her case since she is a rat – sanitized. No one wears so much makeup in public since Michael Jackson.
I would imagine that the CIA has been busy with the Obama Administration if you get my continental drift?
Peolsi is a Beady Eyed little Rat of a Woman and a bad Catholic to boot… she was kicked out of Catholic Town by the Pope.
I love it that the far left is really, really pissed at Obama (Daily Beast). He had no idea that false gods and bad promises could put him in such a squeeze.
SH the ways she will be marginalized are as countless as the stars in the sky. We public citizens only know the tip of the spear when it comes to the depth of the operations currently underway, lots of money has been poured into that agency over the last 8 years, and most of it entails gathering of information, they know us I will tell you LOL
rotflmao sh. you so funny.
sh said: K – you would bet the life of a friend? We are no longer friends. Confirm – no longer friends.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction… except in the case of the CIA… in their case, the reaction to being politically besmeared and besmirched by a lying Politician is increased by the square.

I hear Obama is meeting with the Pope. Did he already today? If not perhaps tomorrow. I wonder what the Pope is gonna say to him?
The boys are very familiar with Obama, Acorn, Chicago, they truly see all!
Obama is a Muslim… so the Pope will not say Shalom…

That is why this administration will only go so far, but far enough is here!!
VF – you are correct. The Pope marginalized Pelosi
“A short statement from the Vatican said the pope “briefly greeted” Pelosi and did not mention any other subject they may have discussed besides abortion.”
http://www.ktvu.com/news/18739519/detail.html
karma, I’m all eyes. Please just don’t bet my life on it, okay?
karma said: Keep your eyes peeled, it might take awhile but she will be minimalized soon enough!
I for one pray to the CIA nights in the hope that their work will be successful. I have to be careful as the FBI is listening.
CIA – Center forl Investigation of Asses
I assume Obama will visit the Vatican. He thinks it is an Italian Welcome Center where he can cash his AmEx checques and get info on how to get to Africa.
SH we are small fish, the FBI has better things to do, we are no threat for violence, we are just pissed off that people are so stupid, and cannot think for themselves!!!
At this point in our history, IMO, the radical left will not go quietly into that night. They have spent a lot of money and time organizing for their agenda to finally succeed.
Gotta run the boss is on the way LOL
C.I.A.= Covert, Inaccurate and Above (Reproach)
hahaha
see ya later karma!
Last comment, Rose, dont play with fire, SH they will not win, truth will it always does in the end!!
The Pope chewed out Pelosi for 15 minutes during her visit to the Vatican in November…
No photo op was allowed by the Pope and Pelosi was sent away in disgrace.
http://www.lifeissues.net/writers/mos/mos_142nancypelosi.html
American Catholics, at least those who frequent the pews and practice their faith, have long wanted their bishops to tell wayward Catholic politicians that they cannot, at one and same time, promote abortion and remain in good standing with the Catholic Church.
Now, the most powerful American Catholic politician has been put on notice by the world’s most powerful bishop that her stance on abortion is incompatible with that of a believing Catholic. Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, has been “strongly rebuked”–in the words of the Catholic News Agency — by the Pope himself.1
“Strongly rebuked” is about as strong a characterization of papal language as one gets this side of excommunication.
Someone at the door. Dogs dancing and singing. Il faut que je depart. a bientot mes amis.
thanks for the warning karma…
DISCLAIMER: to all CIA agents who read my above comment. I was just kidding. You guys are the best in the world!!!
tiens, tiens I missed saying good-bye to le CHAT.
From the official Catholic News Agency
http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/new.php?n=15125
Pope Benedict strongly rebukes Pelosi over abortion
Vatican City, Feb 18, 2009 / 10:18 am (CNA).- House speaker Nancy Pelosi’s photo-op with Pope Benedict XVI turned sour when the Pontiff used the 15-minute meeting to reaffirm the teachings of the Catholic Church on the right to life and the duty to protect the unborn.
No photo of Nancy Pelosi and the Pope will be forthcoming, since the meeting was closed to reporters and photographers. The two met in a small room in the Vatican just after the Pope’s weekly public audience.
Immediately after the meeting, the Holy See’s press office released a statement saying, “following the general audience the Holy Father briefly greeted Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, together with her entourage.”
“His Holiness took the opportunity to speak of the requirements of the natural moral law and the Church’s consistent teaching on the dignity of human life from conception to natural death which enjoin all Catholics, and especially legislators, jurists and those responsible for the common good of society, to work in co-operation with all men and women of good will in creating a just system of laws capable of protecting human life at all stages of its development.”
A significant number of Catholic and pro-life organizations expressed concern over how Pelosi would use the meeting with Pope Benedict to further her position that it is possible to be Catholic and pro-abortion.
Last August, Pelosi was rebuked by several U.S. bishops for attempting to theologically justify her position during an interview with “Meet the Press.”
On Tuesday, Jon O’Brien, president of “Catholics for Choice,” a small, well-funded organization that provides theological arguments to pro-abortion Catholic politicians, told The Hill that today’s visit between the Speaker and Pope Benedict would be an opportunity to highlight that one can be pro-choice and Catholic, and that there are much bigger issues out there to discuss, such as the fate of the poor in the global economic downturn.
“That would be a real conversation about choice, instead of this micro-obsession with abortion,” O’Brien said.
Nevertheless, according to the Holy See’s statement, the Pope spent the whole 15 minute conversation talking with Pelosi about the right to life and the need to defend the unborn.
A spokesman for Pelosi, who is now headed to Southern Italy as part of her Italian tour, said she would issue a statement later in the day regarding her meeting with the Pope.
I’d say something irreverent about the Pope, but I already have a clicking in my telephone, I don’t need the Vatican damning me as well…
Here is the Pelosi Rendition of her meeting with the Pope…
Only a Socialist can spin like that…
well, I really can’t imagine that she’d say something like:
My husband Paul and I met with Pope Benedict today and he bitch slapped me over my views on abortion. wah.
okay, fun over. back to work….
People have “views”
Legislators make and change “laws”
back to work Rosie O’Hips! lol

Congressmen Who Vote for Government-Run Health Care Agency Should Be Its First Customers, Legislation Says
Thursday, July 09, 2009
By Matt Cover
Rep. John Fleming (R-La.) (Photo courtesy of Fleming’s Web site)(CNSNews.com) – Rep. John Fleming (R-La.) introduced a bill Monday that urges members of Congress who vote to create a government-run health insurance agency to give up their own comprehensive health insurance plans to join the new the public option they advocate for others.
The bill, H. Res. 615, says members of Congress who vote for a government-run health care bureau should become the inaugural customers of government-run health-care.
here is the link.

Dear friends, I have to quote one of my favorite iReporters who left this comment on my post about health care and Pelosi:
Democritic Democritic // 1 hour ago
Report violation
Don’t worry about Pelosi. They talked about Healthcare reform the same day as waterboarding. She won’t won’t remember a thing.
nightall!
night vf. get to bed girl, it’s late!
HA CAT – immediately I come on; you go off. Helas. I must plot a revenge – a sweet one with color and craft – something inexpensive, however – so there goes color.
And who is this – that celebrity crab up so late? Mon dieu – how you?
Warrant – you have got to the heart of the matter – found those who believe that if Congress passes comprehensive health care then government employees must be required to accept this system. We the people cannot afford to continue to pay for their exorbitant health care plan. I am glad someone is pushing this idea. EVERYONE has to give something up for this program.
OK everyone is gone not let me see here – uh hugh I’ll put one here – oh and another here- Oh boy – one here – yep – that should do it. Now to set the looped tape: “Here kitty kitty; here kitty kitty… nice CAT, lovely CAT, nonpareil chat…”

Karma will drink his Stone Russian Stout this weekend, goood stuff man!! I see a little ray of sunshine developing on the political front, I must say in real time 7 months is not that long of a time, but damn what the Obamanation did in that short time will take 10 years to fix. But I do get the feeling the only bailout he will be doing is in his political rowboat. No time to rest, keep up being the pest for the one we detest. Kind of Don Kingish but hey its late and I have been ill.

Burris is trying to avoid scandal on campaign trail. He knows it gonna get real bloody. And he’s “small time” & drag on the party. His connection w/pay to play will be brought up. I’m wondering if Jackson, Jr. will run for senate.
Well all, its time for bed. I got 1 more dvd to watch – John Adams movie. The last scene watched tonite was when Jefferson won the election & Adams leaving the WH. This movie causes me to have greater appreciation for Jefferson (for the time being).
Good Morning everyone and let there be no mistake about it: WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE 🙂

Good Morning all. There is still unrest in Iran.
The marked increase of Obama’s Media and Blogosphere Trollism activity is an indication of their increasing desperation that The Enchanted One now has cooties in his drawers.
The Lower Obama goes in the Polls the more they attack… and in particular, Sarah Palin.
But… they are increasingly being seen as the Low-Life Gutter Crawlers They Are…
They Represent the Stench of Socialism…

This is the type of healthcare the socialist want for the US. Read this story.
By Dana Bash and Lesa Jansen
CNN
KINGSTON, Ontario (CNN) — For Shona Holmes, simple pleasures such as playing with her dog or walking in her plush garden are a gift.
Canadian Shona Holmes, who had a brain tumor, sought medical care in the United States.
1 of 3 After suffering from crushing headaches and vision problems, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor four years ago. She was told if it wasn’t removed, she could go blind or even die.
“They said to me that you had a brain tumor and it was pressing on your optic chasm and that it needed to come out immediately,” Holmes said.
Holmes is Canadian, but the “they” she refers to are doctors at the Mayo Clinic in the United States, where she turned after specialists in her own government-run health care system would not see her fast enough.
“My family doctor at that time tried to get me in to see an endocrinologist and a neurologist,” Holmes recalled. “It was going to be four months for one specialist and six months for the other.” Watch Holmes talk about her experience in getting treatment »
Even with the warning from U.S. doctors in hand, Holmes said she still couldn’t get in to see Canadian specialists. Because the government system is the only health care option for Canadians, she says she had no choice but to have the surgery in the U.S.
Her treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona cost $100,000, and she and her husband put a second mortgage on their home and borrowed from family and friends to pay for it.
When she recounts that part of her painful story, she weeps.
“That’s the stuff that I find so tragic — having dinner with my friends and I know how much money I owe them,” Holmes says, tears streaming down her face.
With the health care reform debate raging in the U.S., Republicans in Washington are seizing on Holmes’ story and other accounts from Canada to warn against government involvement in the health care system.
The Senate’s top Republican, Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, asserted several times on the Senate floor last month that a government-run health insurance option, which President Obama and Democrats want, could lead to a government-controlled health care system like Canada’s.
Good Morning SamH!
Did that Spammer post that link on an iReport of yours?
I can’t let that link stay in the comment stream here… it is pure Spam.
I suggest you report that Spammer to Davidw post haste… Spamming is not tolerated at iReport and I block it here.
If we get goverment run health care anyone who gets a serious illnes that needs immediate medical attention should start making funeral arraingements and getting their house in order because they will be dead before they get any treatment. I hope this can be stopped.
Yes, that spammer put that on my post and I copied it and sent it to David with a note:
“David, I pushed the report violation button but I wanted you to have this for your records – for your records, David – Mom.
Sorry, VF I didn’t think. I should have just described it! I’m not promoting it. I report all things like this to David.
Tellit if you want to see Socialized Medicine in America look no further than the Veterans health care here. I am suffering under this horrific program and waited 3 months to see a Pain Management Specialist only to be given a consult to go see a Physical Therapist. Another 2 month wait. End result, physical therapist saw nothing in my MRI that they could help with. By the way, took 3 years to get an MRI authorized because of Cost!
That is what Socialized Medicine will mean to all Americans if this is allowed to Pass.
Enlightened on has reported that he has said to the Secretary General of the UN that it has to be revamped.
Tell that to the Pope, Barry. Tell that to Papa.
Tellit, did you see the ObamaHealthScare Bill is being shelved by the Senate until September?
That will break the momentum Obama uses to achieve Forcible Rape taxpayers.
Well sam if they pass it and this goes through if I get anything serious and life threatining I am just going to make peace with my maker , enjoy my final days, and prepare for the afterlife instead of going through all the stress and hassle.
Enlightened one is now talking about health care reform in his Press lecture. It will be his highest priority over the next month. I guess he hasn’t got his Blackberry with him.
Do you think he will ask the Pope if he can cash an AmEX check?
Vf, I hope they do more than shelve it. They should put it out to pasture for good.
Trust me, no one wants to go through this red tape when they are sick and in need of immediate medical attention.
He sees containing the cost of health care costs will be a major way to reduce debt. RIGHT. And will you and other government employees step up to the plate to help achieve this?
I am surprised the Pope has decided to meet with Obama the antichrist. He will need and exorcism after the meeting.
He says that the special interest groups that are benefiting from current system are playing on the fears of the public.
Now the Prez asked for a specific reporter! does the man never learn?
Barrack wants all of this wrapped up by the end of August – when the American people come home to his surprise. I really hate this administration for slipping this through during the summer doldrums.
I hear the tapping on the CAT’s keyboard from here – working on another post no doubt.
I agree…
This shelving does not solve the problem of the Bill outright… but, the rush to pass gambit has been broken. The longer is is discussed around the country the more likely it will not be passed.
Obama has used the ramrod method to force without real discussion and understanding… economy killing bills.
Not this time… and I think it will also apply to the Crap & Betray Bill as well.
The Obama polls are sinking for some serious reasons… people are waking up.
tellitlikeitis says
I am surprised the Pope has decided to meet with Obama the antichrist. He will need and exorcism after the meeting.
Tellit – I am surprised the Pope will meet with Obama as well. Perhaps Barack wants to discuss reform of the Vatican and how it does things.
Sami – I have followed your health care veteran’s style and they are chillilng.
But VF – here is Barack in Rome saying he want’s this wrapped up by end of August. What’s up.
GEEZE he just said good-bye to the Press in Italian.
I have not started today’s blogpost yet… but the mental gears have been spinning since my first cup of coffee at 5am this morning.
The new post is taking shape… you all will never truly know how much each of you contribute to the posts I write… but believe me… you each are reflected in these posts.
Sam, The waiting is probably worse than the red tape. The cruelty of waiting to see a specialist , getting treatment while your precious window of time is ticking away and hopefully before it’s too late. They probably do it deliberately hoping the people die so they can save money by not dealing with them.
He has been saying he wants it wrapped up ASAP… nothing new there. But there is dissension amongst Congressional DEMs, re: ObamaHealthScare. I will probably do the blog about it this morning.
Well the waiting will certainly cost more when disease advances in someone to the point that more expensive care is required. It is pure economics and Obama’s caculator is from 1960.
Obama takes a look at his 2nd Stimulus package at the G8 summit. Caught on tape I might add.
But… the hot plate item is presently Cap and Trade… and that is what I am really focused on for this morning.
The Senate DEMs are balking on it…
Truly – we are all represented in your posts? Oh, CAT – don’t walk in that direction on the deck – I need to clean it up there – made a mess last night I forgot to clean up. The tape recorder? Oh, yes, I was listening to some old tapes.
NEWSFLASH – GM out of bankruptcy. Press Con now. My, how time flies when you’re having a good time closing half the business down.
Good to hear they are balking at Barack. I hope there is spillover into health care. We can only hope this encounter with the Demander-in-Chief hardens their resolve to speak up and act out.
Ok… I will be busy for a while with the new blogpost… a shout out to me via email will be seen real time.
This is pretty chilling. Did anyone see this video?
My take on that video is…
Teenagers looking for shock value…
I will be dismissing it as an absurd teenage youtube prank.
Pope to Obama: I was sorry to hear that your king has died. I watched his memorial special on tv.
Obama to Pope: The king is dead, long live the KING.
morning peeps!
It is really amazing that an American Corporation – (the one about which we used to say: ” As General Motors goes; so goes the nation.”) is in the position of REPORTING to the American people rather than advertising.
lol at Obama checking out the bootie. But in reality it looks like he is looking at an object in the corner of the pic. Now Sarkosy…that’s another matter.
well, if people think obama was catching a look at the sexy lady’s behind, perhaps it will dispel rumors that he is gay.
ok, I have a busy work day. I will come back on the blog for a little bit after vf posts her newest blog. vf, can you email me when you post? thanks…
Ah Geeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzz Rose, Maybe he was looking at an object in the corner?
Maybe we will get to see the video of Michelle slapping him upside his head?
Or gee Rose maybe he just wanted to swat that fly?
buzzzzzzzz
speaking of which, did you like the beer? It was fortified. lol
My yes Rose that was a great BEER but Ya know I hate to drink alone.
Friends – I have to leave as well. I will not be on as much this weekend because of the fair and the air Show.
Hope to see you later.
sh, I am gonna miss you. your humor and mischief will be sorely missed. have a great time at the air show and fair and get some good video footage.
Would you like a little video about the garbage truck picking up my trash this AM? I have to go out to get the empty can.
Tellit – just watched your statue of Liberty vid. Do they know who did it? I’ll pick up the answer later. Thanks for all the good info you bring our way. Remember, I am INFOADDICT.
Good morning friends.
I’m sour today… but just due to no reason. Maybe waking up with no food or coffee.
Actually I was up at 4 am b/c I couldn’t sleep. So I think I got about 4.5 hours of sleep.
Here’s the story SamHenry.
By Laurie Segall
CNN
NEW YORK (CNN) — A stolen Statue of Liberty replica has resurfaced in a disturbing video posted on YouTube that shows someone decapitating the blindfolded lady and smashing her head into pieces.
The YouTube video shows a gloved hand sawing off Lady Liberty’s head before smashing it.
The 200-pound replica was stolen less than a month ago from Vox Pop, a coffee shop in Brooklyn.
“It’s very disturbing,” shop operator Debi Ryan told CNN, adding the video struck a chord similar to that of terrorist assassination videos. “I don’t know what it means. … I don’t know who would do this.”
The YouTube video begins with a waving American flag, and then shows a gloved hand sawing off the head of the statue before crushing it. The slogans “We don’t want your freedom” and “Death to America” flash across the screen during the one-minute video, which is dated July Fourth.
It was anonymously e-mailed to the Daily News and Ryan earlier this week.
Ryan said she’s sure the statue in the video is the one stolen from her cafe.
“She’s unique. I know my girl,” she said of the statue. “We just had her completely refurbished, outfitted with a solar torch and painted.”
Authorities told CNN they are handling the case as a larceny rather than separately investigating the YouTube video.
“We want to verify who sent the e-mail with the video and see if they’re responsible,” police said.
A sign on the store, located in Ditmas Park, reads, “Books, Coffee, Democracy,” near where the 8-foot replica of Lady Liberty used to stand outside. The self-described community coffee shop is also a bookstore and a spot for artists and performers.
“We’ve created a space here that’s owned by the community,” Ryan said. “We’re all about freedom of speech and freedom to be who you are and say whatever you think.”
But Ryan doesn’t consider the YouTube video featuring her stolen statue appropriate free speech.
“Vox Pop stands for freedom of speech. You don’t get to steal somebody else’s property to send that message. We have to respect each other,” she said.
Although the coffee shop recently faced economic problems and neighborhood tension, the motive behind the statue’s theft remains unknown. As for whether there will be a replacement statue, Ryan said, “I’m hoping. I think she belongs here.
TX, Tellit. Appreciated.
OMG – Obama just gave the Pope an iPod with speeches of Rev. Wright.
Hi m2. I’m just popping in for a fly-by. My brother sent us the link about the statue of liberty story. My oldest sister’s maiden name was Debi Ryan, just like the woman at the coffee shop (same spelling).
That was a really bright move to put it on youtube. People never cease to amaze me.
okay, going to attack some dishes.
lol sh!
Obama to Pope: Here is a symbol of the American way of life. (hands Pope ipod.)

A really well written, graphically strong and good analysis of the current state of Obama’s pet projects and his world and local standing.
I believe Levi – Palin Pain in the A…. has just come out and said that the Gov resigned for financial reasons. I can’t help but think that powers beyond those poor Levi can identify are using him.

She did resign for Financial reasons. Because the socialists were trying to break her.
