he should butt out of N. Korea and China and the "Asian" countries shouldn't he? N. Korea is threatening with attacks "if" we interefere but that hasn't stopped Obama from speaking his peace about what he thinks they "should" do.
Same for Iran. He can help support the 70% population in the streets by simply saying he supports they attempt to be heard and listened to by their govt!!
'Mind your own business' hasn't kept Obama quiet about N. Korea or China....
Iran has nuclear weaponery as well!!
This is nothing more than him not wanting to speak out against his Muslin brothers.... plain and simple.. and you have to ask yourself why. Why is he willing to be so quiet about this when he has no problem yammering on about Asian countries. Yea, let's all just pretend we don't get it.
What that does tell me is Obama has NO problem with oppression of those folks over there... after all, he is attempting to do the same thing here and if we don't get him out next election, he will have taken this country down a horrible path, if he doesn't railroad those same efforts in here beforehand.
Don't care if you agree or not. The very fact that he has orchestrated his little govt in the private sector BIG TIME and is now trying to do the same with healthcare speaks volumes for those who are not sucked in by the O fest that many are now shaking their heads, crawling out of their little brainwashed brains, and wondering what the he!! were they thinking when they voted for this guy!!

Hmmmm.....
your post sounds a lot like a description of Obama to me. If Obama does not have prepared questions and answers, he stutters a lot and says "um" "er" "you know" -- O'Reilly was canned last night, completely scripted. Try watching him without the script. Believe me, we've noticed.
....and really, your "leash" comment is really stooping a bit low, don't you think?
Hmmmm....

This Hillary dem is voting for McCain because of this: “I join as a cosponsor of the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, S. 190, to underscore my support for quick passage of GSE regulatory reform legislation. If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole. I urge my colleagues to support swift action on this GSE reform legislation.”- John McCain 2005 Legislation failed. The failure of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could have been averted IF Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005 had been passed. Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005 only had three co-sponsors : Elizabeth Dole, John McCain and John Sununu. For Nancy Pelosi blaming the GOP is downright an insult to ALL of US TAXPAYERS! http://beltwaysnark.com/2008/09/16/john-mccai... - oversee-fannie-and-freddiein-2 005/ http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd... Gee, and who did the now Government financed mortgage broker Fannie Mae give its money to when it wanted to influence a politician? OpenSecrets lists the top three politicians in which FNMA “invested” from 1989 to 2008. Top Recipients of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Campaign Contributions, 1989-2008Name Office State Party Grand Total Dodd, Christopher S CT D $165,400 Obama, Barack S IL D $126,349 ($6000 came from the PAC) Kerry, John S MA D $111,000 What about McCain? The folks at Fannie Mae didn’t show him a lot of love. According to Open Secrets: McCain, John S AZ R $21,550 (all from individuals). Oh yeah, and who tabbed the former head of Fannie Mae to head up his Vice Presidential search team? OBAMA, that’s who. Back in May Barack turned to Jim Johnson, former CEO of Fannie Mae. The Congressional democrats have ruined our economy. Bye, bye, dear party. I am moving to the fiscal conservatives. The social issues are not important to me at this time. |

Interesting, because he predicted in the early 80s that there would be low inflation and falling oil prices and there was (while Reagan was in office).
Those were bad things?
Hmmmm...
Barack Obama is doing something constructive for general public by being a community organizer. Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh are just blowing smoke up your butts. Sorry...there is no comparison!
Hmmmm....
The article says one thing, the caption under the picture says: Break from protocol: Michelle Obama puts her arm around the Queen, who reciprocates, as the pair chatted after a group picture of the G20 leaders was taken.
Michelle went first and the queen 'reciprocated.' (That being-gracioius thing again.) Fairly sure that's what I saw on the video, though now I cannot find the complete video on the internet anywhere, just bits and pieces of it.

Bush screws up the economy (or at least doesn't take any steps to fix it).
Obama works on fixing the economy.
Bush started 2 wars (one of which was/is bogus).
Obama is working to end those wars and bring peace to the region.
Bush had prisoners tortured.
Obama has stopped torture.
Bush talks to other countries in a threatening tone (remember the axis of evil?) and then doesn't have a clue why nobody likes us.
Obama talks to people like they are human beings and respects other cultures, and the results are astounding.
Bush talked about healthcare.
Obama will do something about healthcare.
Bush goes overseas and he's greeted with the sole of a Nike.
Obama goes overseas and is liked and respected.
Bush never held Israel to its agreement to stop settlements.
Obama has already noted that this will be enforced.
There are a few things like the patriot act and LGBT issues that haven't been dealt with yet, but I would say that overall Obama is the exact opposite of Bush. Keep in mind, as he has only been in office for 5 months, he still has at least 3 years and 7 months to go. A lot can happen in that period of time.
hmmmm....
Bush screws up the economy...
look again at Chris Dodd and Barney Frank, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. If you care about the truth. That is what screwed up the economy.
Obama is fixing the economy...? By tripling the debt in his first 5 months? How do you think he is going to recoup that? By just raising taxes on the rich. I know you are too smart to buy that.
Bush started 2 wars...geez, there is that chestnut. Congress started 2 wars. Bush by himself, as goofy as he was, cannot start wars by himself. Obama promised to start withdrawal from Iraq immediately. As soon as he was elected it became 16 months and they would LOOK at withdrawal. Now it is 23 months and they will look at withdrawal. Face it...he said it to get elected. And he as upped the ante in Afghanistan, and we have more troops there now than we did when Bush was in office. They are looking mighty similar to me. Bring peace to the region? That will never happen. Arabs cannot even get along among themselves. They have not been able to throughout history and whether we are there or not there will not be peace in that region. Come on. I know you are smarter than that. We are only over there because they brought the fight to us. Even Obama says we belong in Afghanistan because that is where bin Laden is (supposedly). Even HE thinks they brought the fight to us. Do you listen to what he says?
Bush had prisoners tortured. Matter of opinion. I don't call waterboarding torturing. It beats having your head cut off and waved in front of cameras. If waterboarding even one of those terrorists kept another attack from happening on our soil or anywhere else (and something sure did), then I say waterboard them. The effects are not lasting, it isn't permanent like having your head hacked off with a dull knife...sighhhh. And how do you know Obama stopped it? Because he said so? lol.
Bush talks to others in threatening tone and then wonders why no one likes us.
Well, you got me there. Bush did do that, Obama for SURE doesn't. I have to side with Bush on that one. I don't care if they LIKE me. I want them to think I might slap them silly if they attack my country. They are still going to buy our goods, come here for medical care (I do reports every day on kids from ALL the arab countries being brought to childrens hospitals here for care...that ain't gonna change), etc. Why is it so important to you that other countries "like" us? France has never liked us. The minute we liberated them in WWII they were yelling get out of our country. And these people are people you care if they "like" us?? Come onnnn big bad. I know you are smarter than that.
Bush never held Israel to its agreement to stop settlements. Hmmm. Has anyone ever held Hamas to its agreement not to slam Israel with rockets on a daily basis or send suicide bombers through the checkpoints? Oh, that doesn't count, because they are only killing Israelis?? Yes, I would expect Obama to side with Hamas. That is his heritage, or had you not noticed? As I said before...he doesn't give a rip what happens to Israel...as it seems, do you.
The patriot act? He voted to extend it as a senator. And now that he is Pres, that will change? And you believe it, because it said it? When he has gone back on the war, gone back on transparency...I know you are smarter than that.
Nope, Obama is NOT the exact opposite of Bush. He mimics him to a great extent. Probably because a lot of the same strings that pulled Bush pull him. ANd I know you are smart...so why not compile ALL the information and look at it objectively. DOn't look at what he SAYS, what he PROMISED...look at what he has DONE and what he HAS NOT done. The truth is there...if you want to see it.
I said the same things to folks about Bush by the way. There are only a handful of things I think Bush did right...and a whole lot of things I think he did wrong. I am still waiting for a right thing from Barry from Chicago.
Hmmmm.
I don't know why any of these things O has done is a surprise to anyone.... all anyone had to do was look at his history, his HUGE lack of experience, his VERY liberal way of looking at things, the Muslim country he was raised in (govt ruled), the harsh racist remarks he made in his book AGAINST white people, to see where he would take the country and exactly what his agenda would be.
He is a racist man for one thing. He is Muslim... he is someone's puppet and they knew it is why he suddenly appeared on the scene, money poured in from NOWHERE it seems, and waalah!!!! he is now our president. Strange isn't it? No executive skills or experience WHATSOEVER. He promised the moon, which anyone with half a brain knew was a sackful of ______(you can fill in the blank)!!! Sure he would LOVE to legalize marijuana; after all, he LOVES drugs and openly admitted to using drugs for YEARS!!! What a shocker there!
Guns...... well, he was raised in a country where guns were banned (only govt and their military dictatorship ran militia had guns)... NO SHOCKER THERE!
Smoking.... hmmmm.. HE is the one who wans to stop smoking; therefore, he has deemed it necessary for ALL MANKIND in the U.S. to stop smoking, simply because HE IS READY TO STOP SMOKING. Gee!! WHat a shocker! If he still wanted to smoke, believe me that tobacco would be the last thing on his mind to regulate and regulate to death!!
He promised no lobbylists.... he has SURROUNDED himself with lobbylists from day 1 ... what a liar!!!
No pork.... well, we all know what a lie that was...
Line by line...... what a joke!!
Anyone with half a brain knew they were NOT going to see tax cut... I don't call $25 extra in your check a taxcut by the way.... another LIE!!
That $250K or more will be the only affected by taxes....... HA!! Another lie! How in the he!! can ANYONE think all his social programs and free handouts to those who feel "entitled" NOT be paid for by you and me?! There aren't enough RICH in this country to pay for all those freebies. And secondly, only someone born being told that RICH is bad and govt is great actually feels that way...except for the lame followers he has suckered into his way of thinking.
RICH is not a bad word. How many poor people do you know who employ anyone? I don't! I'm glad there are rich people out there and most ALL of them have actually worked their way to their status. What the heck is wrong with hard work and making lots of money... the only people who think it is wrong are those that actually believe they will never be rich, so heaven forbid anyone else is....
Your freedoms are being QUICKLY taken away with Obama.... he says one thing and does another, so for all those that try preaching what he said he wouldn't do, please save your fingers protesting.... he is a liar! plain and simple...
He will not save you from yourself. Heaven knows we need a crook to save us. His wife is very questionably a crook; just take a look at her $317 THOUSAND dollar job at the charity hospital in Chicago, where she committed deeds that would have gotten anyone else ARRESTED and criminal charges brought against. But, with litlte 'ol hubby being in the senate, they quietly brushed that criminal activity under the table and just done away with her position. Poor little Obamas! BTW, for those that didn't bother to hear the facts about this family, SHE was the one pushing to dump poor patients (mostly blacks) out the door of the hospital and into surrounding hospitals, all the while taking MILLIONS of taxpayer dollars from the govt for charity patients, which she was fraudently using....
Not to mention being "mentored" by Rev Wright and his hate speeches, racist speeches....whatever you wanna call them!
Murdering late term babies.... he's all for it and even said he would like to think if his daughters found themselves in that situation that they would have "options" available to them. What the heck does that tell you about what he thinks about morals and human life?
Not only is it business as usual in Washington, it is a free for all bananza of crooks and thieves and "special interest groups" unlike anything this country has ever seen before. Don't get me wrong, Obama is just the puppet, someone else pulls his strings.... but the real powers that be knew he would be the perfect little puppet to pull the masses of lame brains in so they could try to get away with their agenda...
Ah, there's that factcheck.....hmmmm
Don't forget that factcheck.org is part of the Annenberg School at the University of Pennsylvania and is funded by the Annenberg Foundation that employed Obama in Chicago.
Strange bed fellas, aren't they?
hmmmm....four against one....sure feels like a gang to me....lol
I really don't care to engage in dialogue with four or five people on this board whose only goal at the moment is to ridicule Sarah Palin, in every context imaginable. And not to mention, the current conservative poster on the board, which at the moment happens to be me.
So bye all....I know I've been civil and polite to everyone here.
Can you say the same?
And by the way....Sarah Palin is worth her weight in gold. Can't change my mind, no matter how much you trash her.
Carry on.....

Hmmmm, preparing for the economic challenges AHEAD...
DHL said it was making the cuts to improve profitability and "to prepare the company for the economic challenges ahead."
The company said this latest action would add $1.9 billion to its restructuring costs, for a total of $3.8 billion over two years, most of it during 2008. The company said the cuts would reduce the annual operating costs of DHL U.S. Express to less than $1 billion, from its current cost of $5.4 billion.
DHL is owned by the German company Deutsche Post World Net.

get off my case
Did it irk you that I asked AG to post here? Did it get you so upset that you had to repost a previous post? For pete sake, what is your problem? You are filled with hate, absolute hate and anger. You need to chill. When you disagree with someone, you continue on and on and on and on, never letting up with the other person. GET OFF MY CASE. If my posts enrage you as so obviously they do, DO NOT READ THEM. You are so whacked out that you state I would chain myself to the WH with explosives. When I read that, I just about coughed up the soda I was drinking I could not believe any sane person would post something like that. As much as I know you are an angry person, no doubt with rage in your heart, I would NEVER EVER think that of you or post something so evil like that about you. Now, Im saying good bye to you as its obvious through you posts over time you cannot post to me without attacking me, so skip my posts, delete them and MYOB when it comes to me and my opinions.
I second Kam's why. I also don't believe that that will be the case s/m
If you are looking at the primary turnouts, record numbers are turning out on the Democrat side, and on the Republican side fewer are turning out than did in 2004 and 2000, and if that trend continues it bodes well for whatever Democratic candidate ultimately gets the nomination. Also, should that candidate be Hillary Clinton, what candidate on the Republican side is, for lack of a better word, sweeping the voters off their feet, whether with agenda or personality? McCain? Huckabee? Romney?, which one?
Actually, the only two candidates that I think have the qualities of real zeal and enthusiasm are Barack Obama and Ron Paul. Ron Paul isn't going to get the nomination, Obama may or may not, and if not, if the Democrat turnouts remain high, and in general the country truly wanting a different direction, they are going to elect a Democrat this time, and if it is Clinton she will be elected, even if she has no more zeal or charisma than Huckabee, McCain or Romney.
That's what I think anyway.
Just in case.
You accused me earlier of being a racist and posting racist posts. I challenged you to find one post I did and you can't find one. You tried to use something I said after you accused me. I also read through all my posts and there are no racist remarks. When I referred to Michelle not talking like a black woman I was referring to your typical stereotyping us because we don't always talk or write the way you think all black people do. You stereotype and assumed I was white because why, I didn't talk like my friends? I'll say it again. Michelle Obama is one classy lady.
You know one thing I was taught growing up is if I'm ever wrong to at least have the decency to say I'm wrong and am sorry, but I guess not everyone is like that.
You are just wrong.
Of course he would do it in that case, anyone would (sm)
They shouldn't have to do elective abortions that are not for the health of the mother unless it is something they believe in. They should not be forced to do it. It is unethical to ask someone to do something they think is wrong. It would be unethical to ask a non-Christian to pray with a patient if they felt it was against their religion, even if the patient asked for it. In these cases, they should have someone else do it, who does not feel it is against their beliefs.
yes, but the pie man in this case...

Hardly the case.
Bush escaped that microsope you mentioned in the mainstream media until the kick-off of the 2008 election primaries. There was next to NO scrutiny of his ineptitude prior to that. Talk about getting a free pass. Besides that, there is little to no substance in this witch hunt so far and it is certainly nothing to fear, especially with those lopsided numbers in the House and Senate that have essentialy put the pubs into exile. I'm just starting to kick back and get comfortable and am going to enjoy watching every single last second of it all.
If this were the case...(sm)
then your statment would be relevant. However, that is not the case. The pay of the white male is the pay that everyone else strives for. And why wouldn't a white male be able to sue if treated unfairly? I'm pretty sure there isn't a law that prevents that. Everyone else has had to go through that process for years and years.
Well, in that case....(sm)
the only thing that I can suggest is to buff up. This might help:

I think I've been "pubbed." LOL.
If that were the case...(sm)
then wouldn't the same be true for alcohol? Most people who drink don't make their own alcohol. As far as addiction goes, we'll just have to disagree on that one. There are studies on both sides, and they are a dime a dozen. However, I have tried it, and as Obama said -- yes I inhaled because that was the point. Did I form an addiction? No. As for new people trying it, well, I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone between the ages of 12 and 65 who could honestly say they haven't already tried it.
My daughter is now 24 -- about the age when they start telling you about things they did as teenagers....LOL. I don't know if you have kids or what age they might be, but when they get to that age and if they can openly communicate with you, you might be surprised at what you will find out. No, I'm not saying that your kids would automatically fall into that category, but most do.
If that is the case, why does someone like FOX

That is not the case
Social Security came into being and started paying out at the same time...there was no contributing to it for years before you got to receive payments. Each person's SS payments are funded by the other workers paying into the system. In addition, payments are determined by what you've earned historically and not by what you've paid in.
In this case.....(sm)
since we are talking about history, I would go with historical facts as opposed to theological references.
Case in point.
I never said what my political affiliation is, gt. Mostly, I have talked about one subject, Bill Bennett, and not from a political viewpoint either. You automatically assume that because I do not agree with you, I am a neocon. But to hear you tell it, you don't make generalizations. But you see, you do, and this is made perfectly clear by this post. Also, the misuse and overuse of the term neocon says a lot about you. Do you realize how strongly you negate intelligent debate when you feel the need to label the person to whom you are speaking?
In that case, you sure must not read much!!!
Plus you seem kind of proud to be so darn ignorant.
Writer, in case you do see this
This is not the first time A.W. has had a hissy fit and said she's leaving....with that said the poster she talked about who was banned (something I didn't know until this thread) was the queen mother of hatred and never posted anything that was not extremely inflammatory. She accused others of drinking while freely admitting she struggled with an alcohol problem. She verbalized death wishes upon the president...so on and so on. She attacked conservatives with her fangs bared. It's really pretty sad that they cannot talk to people without taking broad issues so personally. There are a few, (and I do mean a few here) while we definitely differ with them on a lot of issues are approachable and will have a decent conversation with you. However, the amicable people are usually run off the board by the bitter ones who equate Bush and conservatives with Satan. It's really sad they are stuck in such an immature state and/or overwrought with bitterness.
In this case, I would say it was more Malloy...sm
If it was truly financial, they just made their situation worse firing Malloy. He was very popular and many are cancelling their premium subscriptions to AAR.
Once case scenario that happens sm
One case scenario that happens regarding employed people getting health insurance through their employers is this. Unfortunately recessions happen. A covered person is laid off. Yes, they can continue coverage through COBRA. Some recessions are long lasting, the laid off person cannot find employment for months or longer. The bills meanwhile are racking up, if there are any savings it not so slowly gets eaten up, and the COBRA coverage is not cheap, to the tune of $600.00 a month or more. That person may very well want to hold onto their coverage but simply cannot. They have to drop the coverage. Hopefully this person eventually is able to get another job that also has health insurance benefits. They then have to go through another pre-existing condition waiting period as they had to drop their insurance and therefore lost their continuous coverage provision. Maybe that person falls seriously ill during that period with some pre-existing condition, and ...financially ruined for the rest of their life as a result..through no fault of their own.
Yes, there are people who are able to afford health insurance but have a devil may care attitude...until they become ill, but there are many other scenarios that are occurring as well, and occurring more frequently.
Another problem is due to the high cost of health insurance fewer and fewer employers are even offering benefits, which leaves working people to attempt to secure individual policies, and in that market anyone can be denied coverage. It does not even have to be a "major" health condition. Heath insurance companies can, and do, deny people coverage due to "run of the mill" problems such as a little hypothyroidism, or that they broke a few bones as a kid while growing up.
I certainly don't have the answers, but tis rather a mess.
well said, ditto, only in my case, it
was cherokee on one side, who by the way, are among those legally here and least heard from and not whining although they certainly have enough reason. The other sides are Irish and English and then there are the Swedes who did 6 months time quarantee on Ellis Island before coming to Texas. She outlived 3 husbands and raised 5 children, 2 boys fighting in WWII and winning for one a bronze star and the other a purple heart and he rode into Berlin on a tank the day the Americans took it. The one with the bronze star saved a man's life at the cost of his own in the 50's on a light pole working for GE. They all grew up speaking Swedish and all learned English. In my case, I learned morse code and that will have to do for my second language.
That may be the case. But it is up to individuals...
whether or not to get down and wallow in that kind of stuff or rise above it. I just wish more would rise above it. I don't think Obama thinks, because he is running for President, his children should be fair game and he should just roll over and take it because of what he is doing in his life. At least I hope he wouldn't. And I find it sad that some of his supporters do. That is all I am saying.
If that's the case, then one thing you might
the fact that Obama's opposition has had a much longer time, including the entire primary seasion (which seemed to last forever) to put him down and promote character assassinating rhetoric. SP, an unknown from out of nowhere, has been on the scene almost one week. Seems like it may be a bit premature to draw any hasty conclusions until a little more time passes. There is still much about her that is unknown. For me, that is a yellow caution light at best.
The case was about a teacher
There was a case where they were trying to ban a teacher from wearing a cross.
Well....that being the case...we only have this guy's word...
that those figures are correct, but you accept those at face value? My whole point in this is that she did her job for the people who elected her...the people of Alaska. I don't see anything wrong with that.
No I think it's another deadly case of
8
Case in point......
The fact that I know you have not bothered to educate yourself on the Federal Reserve is the reason you continue to blame a certain party, the party you hate. That doesn't mean that party is to blame, just who you chose to blame because you refuse to take the time to discover why we are in this shape. Bush wasn't even born when the problem began and the institution that started the problem...
Guess what? It is true. The Federal Reserve really does exist and will exist even when Obama is in office. And it will continue to manipulate you and your money and run your government and other governments as well. Who will you blame then?
Anybody heard of this case?
I had heard that there was some question as to where Obama was born ...

I rest my case!
Pittsburgh law enforcement sources tell TMZ they have serious questions about the authenticity of the alleged victim who says she had her face cut by a politically-motivated attacker.
We're told there are several things about the alleged attack that don't add up. A Pittsburgh PD official says they are conducting a "thorough investigation" and have not determined if the alleged attack is real or a hoax. But we're told there is definitely a level of skepticism.
that was proven to not be the case as well

Oh yeah, in case you want to see what he can do for you...
