Shit Flinging
Some people say that President Obama is too much of a Statesman, a Gentleman and a Politician. He has to be all three, the first two are obvious. Sometimes I think the President HAS to be a politician and will fight dirty because you do not go into the ring of a Shit Fight with a clean white shirt...nor do you expect to come out of the ring squeeky clean and smelling sweet like a rose either. Sometimes he needs to play both sides of the fence, save us while still giving Big Business some concessions. We need to let him do his job, however he sees fit and support him no matter what, because he is the lesser of two evils and we do not have another savior right now. We had eight years of the other evil before...If President Obama did not step into the ring we would already be in a depression, if he steps out tomorrow, I think there is no better person to replace him. He is not enjoying his job while trying to accommodate those idiotic Republicans nor did he take the job to enjoy it, he knows the job is the shittiest job in America and he knows that when he is done he will be all spent and not many may like him and Republicans may even call him another Carter, but he is a true American because he is literally giving his life and soul for this shitty job and this shitty public, who really do not have the balls or decency to support him while he gets shit flung in his face and tries to fling shit around to save them. He has twice handed the Republicans their balls on silver platters in front of the cameras while they attempted to fling shit at him, and some in the public still says he is no good. He is really trying to not alienate the right wing community, after all they are Americans too, including those folks who call themselves independents. There is in my opinion nothing called an Independent, you are only a Democrat or a Republican, independents are simply the folks who can't decide if to let people know that they are closet Republicans, because they are ashamed to go public. Even if sometimes you don't agree with everything the Democrats do, you will not leave the party, so independents are really Republicans in disguise. Being a Republican means being evil on some level as you will side with the corporations against the people, causing great harm, suffering, pain and even death to said people. It also means being a hypocrite and a liar, and your main purpose is to fling shit all over the place like a crazed monkey (tell lies), scratch your ass in public (like impeaching Bill for getting a blow) and respond to the urges in your loins... in airport bathrooms and the like. There is never any reason to have a brain as you are only required to tow the party line, learn their talking points, fling shit (lie) to cover their tracks, blindly believe in a magical God floating in the clouds and follow the churches like mindless sheep, and give blowjobs (worship) to right wing radio and TV wackos .

Careful, 'Cause Certain Criminally Corrupt Credit Card Companies Could Crucially Cripple Country
Quotes from Huffington Post
The credit card reforms enacted by Congress and signed by the president last year are set to take effect on Monday. Unsurprisingly, credit card issuers have already found several ways to get around the reforms.
Harvard professor Elizabeth Warren, chairwoman of the bailout oversight panel, said on Thursday that the shortcomings of the credit card reforms show the need for an independent agency that protects consumers from the financial industry.
"[The Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility, and Disclosure Act] is a good first step but it isn't enough alone," said Warren on a conference call with reporters hosted by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group. "The credit card industry and the entire consumer credit industry is broken. We need an agency, a cop on the beat that is flexible and responsive."
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/18/elizabeth-warren-shortcom_n_467295.html
Even before the reforms were to come into effect those bastards at the Credit Card companies had already figured out ways to defeat it. Elizabeth Warren was on Bill Maher on Friday night HBO, and she said of ten things in the Reform Act, the companies had gotten around eight of them already. The problem is not the Government, it is these thieves who pay the lobbyists to dumb down the Administrations...both of them, Reps and Dems. The only thing we can do right now is give the current office-holders the necessary screams and shouts that may encourage them to change the laws. It is our job to call and write them constantly, keep the blogs policing them, just to balance the noise the lobbyists are making...if we make some noise of our own then we can overcome the lobbying power of these Banking Gangsters ...thieves ...and take back some control. We must keep riding this Administration to reduce lobbyist numbers...eventually to zero. We don't need less Government yet...just less lobbyists.

WTF...Torture memos is just "Bad Judgement"???
Quotes from JohnathanTurley.org...
"The Obama Administration continued the tradition of the “Friday night dump” by just releasing the Justice Department report on former Justice officials John Yoo, Jay Bybee and Steven Bradbury." "The Justice Department confirmed that the investigation originally found professional misconduct by Yoo and Bybee, but an unnamed high-ranking official at the Office of Professional Responsibility overruled the finding to avoid any professional action against them." "Now the report merely states that the men “exercised poor judgment.” That is a remarkable downgrade from the Nuremberg prosecutions of lawyers and judges for war crimes to the Obama Administration saying that support of torture is a matter of “poor judgment.”,"
http://jonathanturley.org/2010/02/19/justice-department-declines-punishment-for-bush-officials-for-bad-judgment/
At CPAC today even Bob Barr said waterboarding is torture. I could not believe that the Dems are this complacent, this weak in their application to common sense... Yes, Justice is blind...C'est la vie...que sera sera...fuck it...
I am curious to find out if the "High ranking official " is a hold-over from the Bush era and it is simply a Bush psycho saving his other psycho brothers-in-crime...

C P A C... Crazy Pistol-packing Alarmist Conservatives
They are crazy, yet they are the only ones who don't think they are. Their wacky and unprecedented misuse and flagrant abuse of the Filibuster is proof of their mischief and intent to stifle our progress as a Nation...a Nation of laws...laws they seem to frequently ignore. They meet today...to plan their attack on America, to plan how to descend on the public, pounce on us and steal our money. They lie daily, thank goodness for people like Rachel Maddow, Chris Mathews and Keith Olberman who hold their feet to the fire and help us to shed some light on their wicked ways. They cheat, and we all know about their stealing the election in 2000. They do bad things when they are in office, giving all the considerations to Corporate interests above the people who are crushed by these Companies and then they scream for justice when they are out of office, as if a new Administration trying to do good and clean up their messes for the people is a bad thing. They become the Obstructionist party of NO, because Yes means helping the American people and being true Patriots. They did nothing to help the country when they were in power, they only passed tax cuts and started wars so they could pay-off their friends and empty the Treasury... to which end they stole Billions... which was the norm for the recently past Republican Presidents and their Administrations... they are only smart enough to leave Deficits. They try to change their spots from Republicans to Conservatives to Neo-Cons to Independents to Reagan Conservatives to Tea Baggers to Birthers and last to Palinites, so the public will forget who they are. They are still thieves and Con men just fleecing the public with Predatory lending and warmongering. They started this recession and I'm sure they were all receiving their ashes on Wednesday to prove their "Good Christian" status. Well if that is the standard of a "Good Christian" then we are better off not believing in Magic and witch craft (Sarah believes in that,) Gods and Satan. The evil is truly in what they do.

Back Off...she warns...and I know she ain't kidding! Rachel Maddow exposes liars and hypocrites everyday.
"I did not lie" she said..."Back Off". She was responding tonight on her show to Glenn "the Nazi" Beck, about his lies and attempts at dodging her factual evidence, when it came to him trying to save face... after he stated on his shows that Bill Nye lied when he said that we have Global warming...on her show. We all know that Republicans lie...all the time. They lie for everything, even when they do not have to. Beck lies, Rush lies, Hannity lies, Levin lies, Coulter lies, Bachman lies, Malkin lies, most of Fox's other Entertainers do as well on their shows, on this I will remind you that Hannity, O'reilly, Greta, Beck, Brett, Sliwa, and those of that ilk are all Entertainers ...not reporters,... these Republicans in the Senate lie to their constituents when they vote against the Stimulus and then writes letters to the responsible parties to make sure they get some of that money for their states. They lie when although voting against the Stimulus, they proudly run ....or slither... to the stage to present the check and take the fame for getting said money...even though they tried to kill it. Now they are angry that Rachel Maddow exposes them as Hypocrites. Makes you think that the serpent in the Garden Of Eden had to be a Republican...it is so fitting that this be so, especially when they are the ones who perpetuate this theory that their magical God caused Katrina, and also the Earthquake in Haiti and the 9/11 event, both of which I highlighted in my January post titled "Haiti"
There really are serpents walking among us and it is easy to find them...by their lies. When they say to us that they should be elected again because this time they have learned and they will not do bad things and they will save us from those bad people who started this recession... them... The Bad Republicans of the Bush era...should we believe them? Don't you think they are lying? I do.

Pres. Obama has a big stick...and balls.
Quotes from NYTimes.com
"WASHINGTON — With much of his legislative agenda stalled in Congress, President Obama and his team are preparing an array of actions using his executive power to advance energy, environmental, fiscal and other domestic policy priorities.
“We are reviewing a list of presidential executive orders and directives to get the job done across a front of issues,” said Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff.
Any president has vast authority to influence policy even without legislation, through executive orders, agency rule-making and administrative fiat. And Mr. Obama’s success this week in pressuring the Senate to confirm 27 nominations by threatening to use his recess appointment power demonstrated that executive authority can also be leveraged to force action by Congress."
“If the stalling tactics continue,” said Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, “he’s not ruling out using recess appointments for anybody that he’s nominated.”
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/13/us/politics/13obama.html
Now that's what I'm talking about...them thar obstructionists done gone an got that feller riled up like a rattler an' done made 'im strike up some fire in that thar White House.
He'd better work fast too 'cause he needs to show before the elections this year, that he can make a difference despite the idiotic Repuglickers and their stalling tactics. Cheney is all up in the game...as if anybody cares about what he has to say. He should just crawl back under his muddy rock...and take Karl "the Nazi" Rove with him. Don't worry about Dubya...he's gonna crawl into a bottle soon enough, and I just heard Palin tripped on her shoe laces and fell off Alaska and ended up in Russia.

Shit
Many are displeased by our Government's pandering to the Financial Shakers.
I think right now, it goes like this...and I may be wrong...
I smell like shit...that is because I work in the sewers shoveling shit.
I depend on the shit of those Wall Street bigshots and those Foreign bigshots to live, because they keep the sewers full of their shit,
Even though I don't like their shit I need it...for now...and life would be drastically different if they did not do their shit...
so for now, I will take the shit, so I can do my shit...
a man once said...
why worry about the smell of shit when you have perfume,
So I will take the shit...because this Country will collapse without it, and then I won't be able to do my shit...
It will get better...and when it does I'm not gonna take this shit no more!!!
P.S. I don't know where I'm going with this...but I think some of us think like this...at this point in time, in an economy like this. What do you think?
P.S. again... this is actually a comment I made on a blog...full disclosure and all that...I actually thought it sounded amusing...sadly...

Osama Bin Laden is just a pawn.
Quotes from ABC News.
"From what I knew of my father and the people around him I believe he is the most kind among them, because some are much, much worse," Omar bin Laden, who was raised in the midst of his father's fighters, told ABC News in an exclusive interview. "Their mentality wants to make more violence, to create more problems."
http://abcnews.go.com/International/Afghanistan/exclusive-osama-bin-laden-son-warns-next-al-qaeda-leader/story?id=9794603
This is true, and 100% predictable... his son knows it and we know it. Osama Bin Laden is a pawn...just a pawn in a game that is much larger and older than even he. This is not the game of life...rather it is the game of Death. This game is played between Countries...fighting for superiority over each other, Countries fighting to steal each other's riches...each other's futures...each other's children. It has always been this way, as far back as we can remember, but surely thousands of years before that even. What caused this now and that back then? Greed...the same greed that our last Government succumbed to...and the one before that...and the one before that. We are now a race of...beings headed for the stars, with the brightest of futures, with the brightest of hopes, with the brightest of expectations...there are many in this Universe who are depending on us...time will tell, what histories we shall write.
"...he says the worst may lie ahead, that if his father is killed America may face a broader and more violent enemy, with nothing to keep them in check."
That is no idle warning but instead, it is as accurate a prediction of a future as there ever was told...but it doesn't have to be our future...
We live in the past...with past ideas of conquer, of wars, of thievery, past ideas of bygone religions, that wreak havoc on us even now...past ideas that greed and self, matters more than life ...and our journey to better days...
The question now is, how do we stop the cycle of tit for tat?

Traitors, maybe we should vote Republican
Story From The Hill.
"Blue Dogs push to go further than Obama spending freeze
By Walter Alarkon - 02/08/10 09:31 PM ET
Blue Dog Democrats want Congress to go further than President Barack Obama’s proposal to freeze spending in next year’s budget.
The group of House centrists will soon introduce a bill capping discretionary spending at specific levels. The move would challenge their leadership and the president, who are balancing concerns with the nearly $1.6 trillion deficit in 2010 with those who say government spending on job creation is the way out of the recession.
The spending levels sought by the Blue Dogs may result in spending cuts, which would go beyond Obama’s proposal to save $250 billion over the next decade by freezing non-security discretionary spending for three years, said Rep. Baron Hill (D-Ind.), a senior Blue Dog.
The Blue Dogs’ budget push would add pressure to Democratic leaders and a White House already facing a liberal revolt on Obama’s spending freeze...
House Democrats on the left, concerned about a jobless rate expected to hover near 10 percent throughout this year, want more spending — not less — to spur job creation."
Quote from The Hill, read more at http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/80311-blue-dogs-push-to-go-further-than-obama-spending-freeze
I would use the word Retards if it was not such a volatile word right now to describe these idiots who make the Republicans look like they think before they speak or act, that is a word that only Rush has the balls, and permission by the Republican's (and Palin) to use...imagine that, but in this case I will just use the word TRAITORS...

China, China, China
Nee Hao MA...That's how you say hello or Good day in Chinese...We may well have to learn this language soon, as we may be owned by the Chinese Government, or like smaller countries, have to learn the language of the leader. Why must it come to this you ask? Well...read these Quotes...
" China's energy development emphasizes thrift, cleanness and safety. Believing that development is the only way for its survival, China solves problems emerging in the process of advance through development and reform. To this end, it is applying the Scientific Outlook on Development, persevering in putting people first, changing its concept of development, making innovations in the mode of development, and improving the quality of development. It strives for high scientific and technological content, low resource consumption, minimum of environmental pollution, good economic returns, and guaranteed safety in energy development, so as to realize the coordinated and sustained development of all energy resources to the fullest possible extent.
China's energy development is based on the principle of relying on domestic resources and the basic state policy of opening to the outside world."
http://www.china.org.cn/english/environment/236955.htm#2
"China is the world's leading producer of energy from renewable sources and is on the way to overtaking developed countries in creating clean technologies, according to a report by the Climate Group.
Published today, the group's report, China's Clean Revolution, shows that supportive government policies investing billions of dollars in energy efficiency and renewables are driving huge levels of innovation in China.
The Climate Group says that, despite its coal-dependent economy, China has become a world leader in the manufacture of solar photovoltaic technology - its six biggest solar companies have a combined value of over $15bn (£7.57bn). Around 820 megawatts of solar PV were produced in China in 2007, second only to Japan.
The country already leads the world in terms of installed renewable capacity at 152 gigawatts. In the next year, China will also become the world's leading exporter of wind turbines and it is also highly competitive in solar water heaters, energy efficient home appliances, and rechargeable batteries.
"For too long, many governments, businesses and individuals have been wary of committing to action on climate change because they perceive that China - the world's largest emitter - is doing little to address the issue," said Steve Howard, chief executive of the Climate Group.
"However, the reality is that China's government is beginning to unleash a low-carbon dragon which will power its future growth, development and energy security objectives."
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/aug/01/renewableenergy.climatechange
"There has been some success as well. CNOOC bought late last year a minority stake in four prospects in the Gulf of Mexico from Statoil; Sinopec, the country’s state-owned oil company, was successful last year in scooping up Switzerlands’s Addax Petroleum for more than $7 billion; Sinochem Corp. bought British oil and gas explorer Emerald Energy in October; and China National Petroleum Corp. with majority partner BP successfully secured a contract to develop the Rumaila field in southern Iraq.
Based on comments by CNOOC’s president Yang Hua, the company and China will continue to try and expand its overseas operations with foreign partners, according to a WSJ report."
http://industry.bnet.com/energy/10002920/chinas-energy-appetite-cnooc-ramps-up-production-goals-eyes-overseas-assets/
"Officially, China’s latest renewable energy plan sets a goal of 10 GW by 2010. That’s double the previous target. However, according to industry analysts at China Strategies LLC, China’s current pace of wind development will bring 10 GW by the end of this year, two years ahead of schedule. According to China Strategies, 20 GW is possible in China by 2010. What’s more, they foresee a total of 100 GW by 2020, an increase in wind energy of 1667%. And, they add, this may be a conservative estimate."
http://ecolocalizer.com/2008/07/03/energy-experts-say-chinas-wind-energy-could-grow-1667-by-2020/
While the Republicans are concentrating on tearing down this Government in every way possible and effectively tying the Administration's hands while playing the "penny wise pound foolish" game, their short-sightedness will result in the retardation of America's progress in the biggest and most important race in the world right now...The energy race...the race to source the rest of the worlds energy resources before China, whether it be oil from the African continent, Energy from South America ...particularly Brazil, Oil from Canada and Mexico, Oil off the Coast of Cuba, or even manufacturing high quality Solar Panels and building High Tech clean and safe Nuclear Plants and increasing energy production from wind right here in America. The Republicans seem to not see that divided we fall while China rises like the Sleeping Dragon. Does power and winning mean that much to them that they would prefer to see America lose so they will have their way? Timing is everything ...In the near future, whosoever controls the majority of the world's energy, and can sell or supply it to others...may well control the world.

In the next year, China will also become the world's leading exporter of wind turbines and it is also highly competitive in solar water heaters, energy efficient home appliances, and rechargeable batteries.
"For too long, many governments, businesses and individuals have been wary of committing to action on climate change because they perceive that China - the world's largest emitter - is doing little to address the issue," said Steve Howard, chief executive of the Climate Group.
"However, the reality is that China's government is beginning to unleash a low-carbon dragon which will power its future growth, development and energy security objectives."

"There has been some success as well. CNOOC bought late last year a minority stake in four prospects in the Gulf of Mexico from Statoil; Sinopec, the country’s state-owned oil company, was successful last year in scooping up Switzerlands’s Addax Petroleum for more than $7 billion; Sinochem Corp. bought British oil and gas explorer Emerald Energy in October; and China National Petroleum Corp. with majority partner BP successfully secured a contract to develop the Rumaila field in southern Iraq.
Based on comments by CNOOC’s president Yang Hua, the company and China will continue to try and expand its overseas operations with foreign partners, according to a WSJ report."

"Officially, China’s latest renewable energy plan sets a goal of 10 GW by 2010. That’s double the previous target. However, according to industry analysts at China Strategies LLC, China’s current pace of wind development will bring 10 GW by the end of this year, two years ahead of schedule. According to China Strategies, 20 GW is possible in China by 2010. What’s more, they foresee a total of 100 GW by 2020, an increase in wind energy of 1667%. And, they add, this may be a conservative estimate."

While the Republicans are concentrating on tearing down this Government in every way possible and effectively tying the Administration's hands while playing the "penny wise pound foolish" game, their short-sightedness will result in the retardation of America's progress in the biggest and most important race in the world right now...The energy race...the race to source the rest of the worlds energy resources before China, whether it be oil from the African continent, Energy from South America ...particularly Brazil, Oil from Canada and Mexico, Oil off the Coast of Cuba, or even manufacturing high quality Solar Panels and building High Tech clean and safe Nuclear Plants and increasing energy production from wind right here in America. The Republicans seem to not see that divided we fall while China rises like the Sleeping Dragon. Does power and winning mean that much to them that they would prefer to see America lose so they will have their way? Timing is everything ...In the near future, whosoever controls the majority of the world's energy, and can sell or supply it to others...may well control the world.

Colin Powell supports lifting of Don't Ask Don't Tell
"Retired Army Gen. Colin L. Powell, who opposed allowing gay men and lesbians to serve openly in the armed forces when he was the nation's top military officer, said Wednesday that he supports efforts to lift the ban on their service. " Quote from Washington Post.Com
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/03/AR2010020302292.html?hpid=topnews
Now doesn't that put a monkey wrench in the wheels of the Hateful Republican party hacks who have harped over and over on the General's past statements supporting "Don't Ask Don't Tell."
I see the walls of the resistance cracking...Republican Senators are now softening their stance, to save face, against Gay people serving openly in the military...and they say President Obama is not having an impact in a positive way...ha!
Skilled personnel is hard to come by and even harder to keep, with the thousands of skilled Gay personnel that have been let go, our military is in a really bad state.
We have lost skilled persons in just about every area of the military, including translators, snipers, and many specialists.
We need this Don't Ask Don't Tell policy to be repealed quickly, now... not in a year or longer...
There has been approximately 13,500 dismissals since 1993.
