CAMBRIDGE POLICE ARE ASKING PRESIDENT OBAMA TO APOLOGIZE FOR HIS REMARKS AND I AGREE!
"I think the President should make an apology to all law enforcement personnel throughout the entire country that took offense to this," Steve Killian, president of the Cambridge Police Patrol Officer's Association, said Friday.
I DON'T THINK IT IS A COINCIDENCE THAT OBAMA MADE SUCH DIVISIVE REMARKS JUST AS HIS NUMBERS ARE TANKING...ALWAYS RESORT TO THE RACIST ISSUE WHEN TRYING TO STIR THINGS UP, EH?

DEMOCRATS INVESTIGATE "SECRET PROGRAM" REPORTED BY NYT IN 2002
OKAY, WE ALL HAVE MOMENTS OF BRAIN-FARTISMS...WE ALL FORGET A BIRTHDAY HERE AN ANNIVERSARY THERE...BUT TO FORGET THAT SOMETHING BEING TOUTED TODAY AS A "SECRET PROGRAM" THAT WAS OUTTED BACK IN 2002..."FORGET"...UM YEA
THANKS TO KARL AT HOT AIR:
With their Speaker behind them, House Democrats are pushing ahead with plans to hold a series of hearings investigating instances in which intelligence officials may have misled members of Congress.
Senior Democratic aides said that a major announcement could come by the end of week, but it was already clear on Monday that House Democrats are seizing on weekend news reports that former Vice President Dick Cheney hid information from Congress.
The New York Times reported on Sunday that the CIA, under the direction of Cheney, developed a secret counterterrorism program and then was directed by the vice president to conceal it from Congress.
The Wall Street Journal first reported that the program was a classified initiative to kill or capture al Qaeda operatives.
BUT....BUT!!! THIS WAS ALL REPORTED SIX YEARS AGO BY THE SAME NEW YORK TIMES:
Unfortunately for Democratic witch-hunters, their pals at the national security-defying New York Times apparently blew this secret back in December 2002:
The Bush administration has prepared a list of terrorist leaders the Central Intelligence Agency is authorized to kill, if capture is impractical and civilian casualties can be minimized, senior military and intelligence officials said.
The previously undisclosed C.I.A. list includes key Qaeda leaders like Osama bin Laden and his chief deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, as well as other principal figures from Al Qaeda and affiliated terrorist groups, the officials said. The names of about two dozen terrorist leaders have recently been on the lethal-force list, officials said. “It’s the worst of the worst,” an official said.
President Bush has provided written legal authority to the C.I.A. to hunt down and kill the terrorists without seeking further approval each time the agency is about to stage an operation. Some officials said the terrorist list was known as the “high-value target list.” A spokesman for the White House declined to discuss the list or issues involving the use of lethal force against terrorists. A spokesman for the C.I.A. also declined to comment on the list.
Despite the authority given to the agency, Mr. Bush has not waived the executive order banning assassinations, officials said. The presidential authority to kill terrorists defines operatives of Al Qaeda as enemy combatants and thus legitimate targets for lethal force.
Could it be that CIA Director Panetta does not have a good grip on the history of his agency’s post-9/11 efforts? Could it be that his Democratic colleagues have such a knee-jerk hostility to the CIA that they would jump on bad info to attack the CIA and Fmr. Vice-Pres. Cheney as a modified limited defense of Speaker Pelosi’s prior bogus attacks on the CIA regarding briefings on interrogation tactics? Could it be that the geniuses of the NYT forgot they already blew the program?
(Hint: Yes, Yes and Yes.)
LIKE I SAID...THEY "FORGOT" ABOUT IT? IT'S MORE LIKELY THEY THINK WE FORGOT ABOUT IT AND CONVENIENTLY PULLED THIS RABBIT OUT OF THE HAT TO MAKE US LOOK THE OTHER WAY JUST AS OBAMA'S RATINGS ARE PLUMMETING...

Billions in aid go to areas that backed Obama in '08
USA TODAY REPORTS:
Counties that supported Obama last year have reaped twice as much money per person from the administration's $787 billion economic stimulus package as those that voted for his Republican rival, Sen. John McCain
CAN ROBERT GIBBS SAY ANYTHING THAT IS TRUTHFUL??
"There's no politics at work when it comes to spending for the recovery," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs says.

BLACK MOB: THIS IS OUR WORLD! THIS IS A BLACK WORLD!
SO THIS FAMILY GETS ATTACKED BY A MOB OF ABOUT 50 BLACK MEN AND WHAT DOES THE AKRON POLICE SAY?
Akron police say they aren't ready to call it a hate crime or a gang initiation.
WHAT!!!????
It came after a family night of celebrating America and freedom with a fireworks show at Firestone Stadium. Marshall, his family and two friends were gathered outside a friend's home in South Akron.
Out of nowhere, the six were attacked by dozens of teenage boys, who shouted ''This is our world'' and ''This is a black world'' as they confronted Marshall and his family.
The Marshalls, who are white, say the crowd of teens who attacked them and two friends June 27 on Girard Street numbered close to 50. The teens were all black.
SO WHAT THE HELL IS OUR COUNTRY COMING TO?
A GANG OF 50 BLACK TEENS ATTACK A WHITE FAMILY STANDING IN THEIR YARD AND THE POLICE ARE RELUCTANT TO CALL IT WHAT IT IS??
HATE CRIMES CAN BE PERPETRATED ON ANY RACE, EVEN WHITE!!!
''We don't know if it's a known gang, or just a group of kids,'' police Lt. Rick Edwards said.
GUESS WHAT? IT DOESN'T MATTER!!! THESE BLACK "KIDS" ATTACKED A WHITE FAMILY STANDING AROUND MINDING THEIR OWN BUSINESS!!

CRAZY LIKE A(N ARCTIC) FOX...DON'T UNDERESTIMATE SARAH PALIN
From American Thinker Blog:
Crazy like a(n arctic) fox
Robert Zafft
Here's the calculus on Sarah Palin's decision to resign -- and it's elementary:
1. Don't resign
a. Bankrupt family defending self from bogus ethics allegations
b. Accomplish nothing as governor since Democrats have vested interest in blocking any progress
c. Remain butt of every liberal pundit/comic/feminist with constraints of public services preventiving effective means to fight back
d. Fail to influence national policy at a critical time due to pressures of office and Alaska's geographical remoteness
e. Be in poor position for 2012/2016 Presidential race because of the above
2. Resign
a. Give Lt Governor chance to use incumbency for 2010 election
b. Let Alaska move forward by removing Democrat incentive to block progress
c. Make family financially secure through speaking fees, books and punditry
d. Use media platform to advance policies that matter personally, develop reputation for deep understanding of national-level issues (economic, foreign policy), and use media platform to go on the offensive against opponents and enemies
e. Play 2012 kingmaker role by consolidating and delivering GOP base, speaking and raising money for candidates ("Mitt, let's make a deal.")
f. Use kingmaker role in 2012/2016/2020 to win prominent, substantive national role (VP, Energy Secretary), establishing a national-level track record and creating an option for Presidential run in 2016/2020/2024 while still in political prime
g. If (f) doesn't work out, enjoy being the next Rush Limbaugh -- after all, living well is the best revenge.
For most, candidates, public office is the logistical base from which they operate.
By giving up the Alaska governorship, Palin has no public office base for her opponents/enemies to attack.
Many might deride Palin, but no one should underestimate her.
Couldn't have said it better...

DNC QUICK TO SMEAR SARAH PALIN OVER STEPPING DOWN
I DON'T REMEMBER THE DNC ISSUING A STATEMENT ABOUT GOVERNOR SANFORD...DON'T REMEMBER THE DNC REACTING WITH A STATEMENT TO ANYTHING LATELY...BUT YESTERDAY THEY COULDN'T WAIT TO GET OUT THE LONG KNIVES AND ATTACK GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN WITHOUT KNOWING ANY DETAILS ABOUT THE GOVERNOR'S DECISION TO STEP DOWN...
BUT HERE IS WHAT THE DNC HAD TO SAY, ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER GOVERNOR PALIN'S PRESS CONFERENCE:
Brad Woodhouse, communications director of the Democratic National Committee, issued these remarks:
Either Sarah Palin is leaving the people of Alaska high and dry to pursue her long shot national political ambitions or she simply can’t handle the job now that her popularity has dimmed and oil revenues are down. Either way - her decision to abandon her post and the people of Alaska who elected her continues a pattern of bizarre behavior that more than anything else may explain the decision she made today.
"BIZARRE BEHAVIOR"??!!
BIZARRE BEHAVIOR IS THE DNC'S REACTION SECONDS AFTER GOVERNOR PALIN STOPPED SPEAKING...
BIZARRE BEHAVIOR IS ACCUSING GOVERNOR PALIN OF "LEAVING THE PEOPLE OF ALASKA HIGH AND DRY" WHEN THEY KNOW PERFECTLY WELL THAT THE LT. GOV OF ALASKA IS BEING SWORN IN AND GOVERNOR PALIN IS WORKING CLOSELY WITH HIM ON THE TRANSITION...
WHAT IS IT ABOUT GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN THAT TERRIFIES LIBERALS SO MUCH?
IF YOU FOLLOW YOUR GUT REACTION TO IT...YOU WILL REALIZE THAT LIBERALS SEE WHO GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN REALLY IS...SHE DOESN'T HIDE IT...
SHE IS A CONSERVATIVE...AND SHE CONNECTS WITH THE PEOPLE...REALLY CONNECTS BECAUSE SHE IS REAL...
MY MONEY IS ON GOVERNOR PALIN NO MATTER WHAT SHE DOES...I'M NOT GOING TO TRY TO GUESS...BUT I AM SURE SHE HAS PLENTY MORE SURPRISES UP HER SLEEVE AND I CAN'T WAIT TO BE SURPRISED...

HELEN THOMAS: NOT EVEN NIXON TRIED TO CONTROL THE MEDIA LIKE OBAMA
Helen Thomas told CNS News: “Nixon didn’t try to do that.” “They couldn’t control (the media). They didn’t try.
“What the hell do they think we are, puppets?” Thomas said. “They’re supposed to stay out of our business. They are our public servants. We pay them.”
Thomas said she was especially concerned about the arrangement between the Obama Administration and a writer from the liberal Huffington Post Web site. The writer was invited by the White House to President Obama’s press conference last week on the understanding that he would ask Obama a question about Iran from among questions that had been sent to him by people in Iran.
“When you call the reporter the night before you know damn well what they are going to ask to control you,” Thomas said.
“I’m not saying there has never been managed news before, but this is carried to fare-thee-well--for the town halls, for the press conferences,” she said. “It’s blatant. They don’t give a damn if you know it or not. They ought to be hanging their heads in shame.”
I doubt we will see any heads "hanging in shame" any time soon, but to finally hear the state-controlled-media FINALLY asking questions is heartening...

OBAMA ISSUES STATEMENT ON ABORTION DOCTOR BUT REMAINS SILENT ON MURDERED US SOLDIER
Barack Hussein Obama issued a statement condemning the murder of an abortion doctor May 31:
I am shocked and outraged by the murder of Dr. George Tiller as he attended church services this morning. However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence.
According to The Root:
It's fairly unusual for the White House to comment on this type of local story. But the news of Tiller's murder, allegedly by an anti-choice activist apprehended this afternoon by local and state police, has reverberated across the country in a matter of hours—and inflamed a longstanding debate about abortion rights in America.
Barack Hussein Obama's reaction to a US soldier gunned down in Arkansas and another injured on June 1:
"............................................................................. "
YEP, NOTHING! NADA! NO REACTION WHATSOEVER FROM BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA ABOUT A US SOLDIER KILLED BY A MUSLIM IN ARKANSAS!
A recent graduate of Fort Benning's Infantry One Station Unit Training was killed June 1 outside a recruiting station in Little Rock, Ark, post officials confirmed today.
In fact, Barack Hussein Obama gave one of his scripted-teleprompter-read "speeches" to announce the pick of a new Secretary of the Army, a perfect opportunity to condemn the murder of a US soldier, and Barack Hussein Obama remained silent!
SO IT IS PERFECTLY CLEAR. ABORTIONISTS ARE DEAR TO BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S HEART, SOLDIERS ARE NOT.

AMERICANS OPPOSED TO CLOSING GITMO
WONDER IF THE STATE-OWNED MEDIA WILL REPORT THIS
Another in a series of shocking polls finding Americans moving firmly to the right and away from the views of the current Administration was released Monday.
In this study, respondents overwhelmingly opposed the closing of the detention center at Guantanamo Bay because -- wait for it! -- they believe the facility has strengthened national security.
Not what the Obama administration, the Democrat leadership, and their media minions have been claiming for months, is it?

AMERICAN DECENT INTO MARXISM - A WARNING FROM RUSSIA
THIS IS ASTOUNDING, AN ARTICLE FROM PRAVDA IN RUSSIA WONDERING ABOUT THE DECENT INTO MARXISM THAT THE WORLD IS WATCHING AND ATTESTING TO THE BARELY AUDIBLE PROTESTS COMING FROM AMERICAN CITIZENS:
It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.
True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.
Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.
First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish.
Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America.
The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe. (***NOTE: I BLOGGED ABOUT THIS VERY SUBJECT!)
These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?
These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties and powers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more then a whimper to their masters.
Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motor) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.
So it should be no surprise, that the American president has followed this up with a "bold" move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride.
Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper...but a "freeman" whimper.
So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Franks, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive.
The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.
The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.

It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.
True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.
Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.
First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish.
Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another.

NOBAMA CLOSES GOP DEALERSHIPS WHILE PLANNING TO OPEN NEW ONES IN THE SAME AREAS
YES, YOU READ THAT RIGHT...NOBAMA'S TASK FORCE SYSTEMATICALLY CLOSED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS THAT DONATED TO GOP CAMPAIGNS WHILE BYPASSING DEALERSHIPS THAT ARE DEMOCRATIC PARTY MEMBER-OWNED
NOW IT IS REPORTED THAT THEY ARE GOING TO GO BACK TO THE SAME AREAS THAT ORIGINALLY HAD REPUBLICAN-OWNED DEALERSHIPS THAT WERE CLOSED AND OPEN 'NEW' DEALERSHIPS
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT ROBERT MUGABE DID IN ZIMBABWE
Mugabe decided on what he called "fast-track land reform" only in February of 2000, after he got shocking results in a constitutional referendum: though he controlled the media, the schools, the police, and the army, voters rejected a constitution he put forth to increase his power even further. A new movement was afoot in Zimbabwe: the Movement for Democratic Change—a coalition of civic groups, labor unions, constitutional reformers, and heretofore marginal opposition parties. Mugabe blamed the whites and their farm workers (who, although they together made up only 15 percent of the electorate, were enough to tip the scales) for the growth of the MDC—and for his humiliating rebuff.
So he played the race card and the land card. "If white settlers just took the land from us without paying for it," the President declared, "we can, in a similar way, just take it from them without paying for it." In 1896 Africans had suffered huge casualties in an eighteen-month rebellion against British pioneers known as the chimurenga, or "liberation war." The war that brought Zimbabwean blacks self-rule was known as the second chimurenga. In the immediate aftermath of his referendum defeat Mugabe announced a third chimurenga, invoking a valiant history to animate a violent, country-wide land grab.
PEOPLE HAD BETTER WAKE UP TO WHAT NOBAMA IS DOING!
I HEAR PEOPLE SAY THINGS LIKE "IN THE 2010 ELECTION" OR "WAIT UNTIL 2012"
WELL, IF NOBAMA IS TAKING AWAY THE ABILITY FOR REPUBLICAN BUSINESS OWNERS AND GOP CONTRIBUTORS TO MAKE A LIVING, WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU THINK HE HAS IN MIND???

OBAMA DELAYED RESCUE OF CAPTAIN FROM SOMALI PIRATES
While Barack Obama is basking in praise for his "decisive" handling of the Somali pirate attack on a merchant ship in the India Ocean, reliable military sources close to the scene are painting a much different picture of the incident – accusing the president of employing restrictive rules of engagement that actually hampered the rescue of Capt. Richard Phillips and extended the drama at sea for days...
WHY??
WAS THIS A SETUP - ENDANGERING CAPT. RICHARD PHILLIPS' LIFE - SO THAT BARACK OBAMA COULD USE THIS PROPAGANDA TO SET HIMSELF UP AS A "HERO"???
DISGUSTING!!!!
ACTUALLY, THIS IS NOT ONLY DISGUSTING...THIS IS THE ACTION OF A DERANGED DICTATOR!

SHOCKING!!! JOURNALIST ARRESTED FOR DARING TO SHOW UP
THIS IS SHOCKING!!!
John (Ziegler) went to USC to witness and ask questions about Katie Couric getting the Walter Cronkite journalism award for her interview of Sarah Palin. He intended to also give away copies of his film but was literally prevented from doing so. He did not go there hoping for or expecting any sort of confrontation, especially with law enforcement. He was simply shocked and horrified by what happened there, as should every freedom loving American. He did absolutely nothing wrong and was handcuffed, detained and literally abused by law enforcement at the event. The video speaks for itself, John will have plenty to say about this very disturbing episode.
This video was shot and edited by Orange County Films. John Ziegler was not involved the the production or editing of this video in any way.

ANDERSON COOPER...TEA BAGS...GREG GUTFELD...WHAT COULD THESE POSSIBLY HAVE IN COMMON?
I was trying to figure out how I was going to comment on Anderson Cooper's disgusting tea bagging reference to yesterday's protests over the out-of-control government pigishness and waste... then I found this:
WEDNESDAY'S GREGALOGUE:
So if there's one great thing we learned from today's Tea parties, it's how Anderson Cooper spends his nights off. It had happened during a conversation with talking thumb, David Gergen, who had just noted that the tea party protestors had yet to find their voice. Cooper's response: "It's hard to talk when you're teabagging."
Now, if you're too old or too high to get what's going on, here's the joke: The liberal-leaning media are goofing on the tea parties by invoking the term teabagging, a phrase used to describe an act of oral sex performed by a man - either on another man, woman, or in Alec Baldwin's case – a cheeseburger.
And so you have Cooper's joke – it's just a shame he ripped off the shtick from David Shuster, who apparently has never met a joke he hasn't beat to death like a hunter on a harp seal. On MSNBC, Shuster repeats testicle-based puns with a fervent relish not unlike an eight-year old boy who just can't stop sniffing his fingers. And, this, coming from me. I'm mean – I always thought I was the king of obvious jokes, but I relinquish that crown – because the real obvious joke is Shuster.
So why is it the MSM finds it so easy to sneer at a group of protestors, when you've never seen them do the same with the bedraggled buffoons protesting environmental ills, animal testing or the WTO?
Well, first: the protests involve people they've never actually met. I mean, these are average folks – not professional sign carriers. Most of these people work for a living, and ration their marching for parades. Also, the media abhors these people because they question the ultimate goal of their Messiah. These protestors know wealth distribution when they see it, and they're calling it out - because the media cannot bring themselves to do it for them. After all, if they did, that would hurt Obama's feelings. And if you learned anything from high school – you never make fun of Mr. Popular.
Lastly, the media hates it when they can't control the story. These tea parties were out of their hands from day one–a movement that was hard to figure and impossible to spin. So, why not make fun of it? Why not make ball jokes?
But hey, who am I to judge? Whatever gets you off on a Wednesday night, Anderson, when nothing else will.

Establishment of the daily prayers;
Concern for and almsgiving to the needy;
Self-purification through fasting; and
The pilgrimage to Makkah for those who are able.

CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS MEMBERS PRAISE CASTRO
THIS IS...WELL, OUTRAGEOUS REALLY IS TOO MILD A WORD FOR WHAT THESE MORONIC PEOPLE JUST DID...
(Barbara) Lee (D-CA) and others heaped praise on Castro, calling him warm and receptive during their discussion. But the lawmakers disputed Castro's later statement that members of the congressional delegation said American society is still racist.
"It was quite a moment to behold," Lee said, recalling her moments with Castro.
“It was almost like listening to an old friend,” said Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Il.), adding that he found Castro’s home to be modest and Castro’s wife to be particularly hospitable.
“In my household I told Castro he is known as the ultimate survivor,” Rush said.
Rep. Laura Richardson (D-Ca.) said Castro was receptive to President Obama’s message of turning the page in American foreign policy.
"He listened. He said the exact same thing" about turning the page "as President Obama said," said Richardson.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME...ARE YOU SERIOUS??!!!

TIME MAGAZINE ASKS: "Is Congress Being Too Tough on Nominees' Taxes?"
WHAT?
WHAT??!!!
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS AND I AM FURIOUS!
TIME MAGAZINE OPINES THAT THE UNPAID TAXES OF NUMEROUS OBAMA'S NOMINEES ARE BEING MADE TOO MUCH OF:
At what point does congressional due diligence become onerous and unreasonable flyspecking? With legions of Obama Administration posts sitting vacant amid multiple national crises, that's the question that many in Washington are asking.
FLYSPECKING???
REMEMBER JOE THE PLUMBER???
REMEMBER THE RABID WAY THE LIBERAL PRESS WENT AFTER THIS ORDINARY CITIZEN THAT DARED TO ASK OBAMA ABOUT OBAMA STATING HE JUST WANTED TO "SPREAD THE WEALTH AROUND".
THE PRESS ATTACKED JOE "THE PLUMBER" WURZELBACHER BECAUSE HE OWED $1,200 IN BACK TAXES.
$1,200, THAT'S IT...
Complaints that the vetting process has gone overboard grew earlier this week, when Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, President Obama's pick for Secretary of Health and Human Services, became the latest nominee to be embarrassed by a public disclosure of problems with her tax returns....agreed to pay an additional $7,918 in taxes and interest, and she looks to be on track to a relatively easy Senate confirmation.
PEOPLE, PAY ATTENTION!!!
IF SEBELIUS OWES $7,918 IN TAXES THAT EXTRAPOLATES OUT TO $31,672 IN FRAUDULENT DEDUCTIONS SHE PUT ON HER TAX RETURN, ASSUMING SHE IS IN THE 25% TAX BRACKET!!
TOM DASCHLE OWED $140,000+ IN BACK TAXES...USING THE SAME 25% TAX BRACKET THEORY, THAT IS $560,000 OF UNREPORTED INCOME!!!
AND THE LIBERAL PRESS ATTACKED AN AMERICAN CITIZEN FOR $1,200 IN BACK TAXES BECAUSE THAT AMERICAN DARED TO QUESTION BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!!
TIME CONCLUDES WITH THIS:
If so many smart and talented officials are getting tripped up over their tax returns, perhaps it is time for Washington to make the tax code simpler for everyone.
THESE PEOPLE AREN'T "TRIPPING" OVER THEIR TAX RETURNS, THEY ARE TAX CHEATS!!!
WE HAVE TO PAY OUR TAXES AND FILE THEM ON TIME, WHY IS THERE ANOTHER SET OF RULES FOR THESE LIBERALS????!!!
I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THE DOUBLE STANDARD IN THIS COUNTRY AND I AM SICK AND TIRED OF LIBERALS COVERING UP THE CRIMES AND BLAMING IT ON CONSERVATIVES OR CALLING THE SYSTEM "BROKEN" WHEN THEY GET CAUGHT!!
IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE, AND I DO MEAN NOW!!!

I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THE DOUBLE STANDARD IN THIS COUNTRY AND I AM SICK AND TIRED OF LIBERALS COVERING UP THE CRIMES AND BLAMING IT ON CONSERVATIVES OR CALLING THE SYSTEM "BROKEN" WHEN THEY GET CAUGHT!!
IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE, AND I DO MEAN NOW!!!
DR
THE DIVORCE AGREEMENT - CONSERVATIVES LEAVE LIBERALS - FINALLY!!!
Apparently a law student wrote this...at any rate, whoever wrote it, I totally agree!
______________________________________________________________
Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al:
We have stuck together since the late 1950's, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce.
I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.
Here is a model separation agreement:
Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.
We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU. Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military.
You can keep Oprah , Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell (You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them).
We'll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street. You can have your beloved homeless, homeboys, hippies and illegal aliens. We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and rednecks. We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood .
You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.
We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U.N., but we will no longer be paying the bill.
You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors. We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right.
We'll keep The Battle Hymn of the Republic and the National Anthem.
I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute Imagine, I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing, Kum Ba Ya or We Are the World.
We'll practice trickle down economics and you can give trickle up poverty your best shot. Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag.
Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you ANWAR which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.
Sincerely,
John J. Wall Law Student and an American
P.S. Also, please take Barbara Streisand & Jane Fonda with you oh that uncareing self centered narrow minded Nancy Polosie illegal immigrant lover too

Our kids are the ultimate credit market, and the rest of us are all pre-approved!
Mark Steyn brilliantly captured the meaning of Obama's out-of-control spending:
Just between you, me, and the old, the late middle-aged, and the early middle-aged: Isn’t it terrific to be able to stick it to the young? I mean, imagine how bad all this economic-type stuff would be if our kids and grandkids hadn’t offered to pick up the tab.
Well, okay, they didn’t exactly “offer” but they did stand around behind Barack Obama at all those campaign rallies helping him look dynamic and telegenic and earnestly chanting hopey-hopey-changey-changey. And “Yes, we can!”
Which is a pretty open-ended commitment.
Think these kids will EVER catch on to what they did to their future??

"BOY WONDER" OBAMA NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME
It is one thing to go from one loving crowd to another, promising anything for their vote...it is quite another to put money where your mouth speaks and get down to business.
Obama is showing now what his critics have been saying all along...he 'may be ready' at some point for the job of president...someday...fact is, today is not that day.
Now Obama is stating - through is minions - that while he will not propose changing the tax-free status of employee health benefits, neither will he oppose it if Congress does so.
If that happens, it would be the LARGEST TAX INCREASE ON THE MIDDLE CLASS...EVER!!
It is really difficult not to say "I told you so" when all of your world is crumbling around you...but, dammit, I TOLD YOU SO!!

ARI FLEISCHER WIPES THE FLOOR WITH CHRIS MATTHEWS
This is great...Chris Matthews' mouth never stops...I doubt if even he knows what he is saying most of the time...other than when he gushes over Obama...Ari Fleischer was excellent
From Peter Wehner at National Review:
I thought Ari destroyed Matthews, and did so in a calm, factual, reasoned way. Matthews is loud, obnoxious, terribly ill-informed, and has a crush on Barack Obama — all of which are reasons why Matthews is perfect to host a program on MSNBC. I can’t help but notice, by the way, that the ratings for primetime shows on Fox News have skyrocketed during the Age of Obama. According to the latest ratings, Fox has the six top-rated cable news shows — hosted by Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Bret Baier, Shepard Smith, and Greta Van Susteren — each which draws 2 million viewers or more (Van Susteren drew a few dozen viewers short of 2 million). MSNBC’s top-rated shows rank ninth (Rachel Maddow) and eleventh (Keith Olbermann), with Olbermann drawing just over 900,000 viewers. And Chris Matthews doesn’t crack the top eleven rated programs. Perhaps this is evidence that MSNBC, which during the last few years have existed on embers of hate and resentment, is increasingly passé; Bush Derangement Syndrome is less interesting when Bush has left the stage. Secondly, the number of people who watched Ari slam Matthews could roughly fit in the size of a football stadium.
Chris Matthews long ago became a joke; what seems clear is that he’s an increasingly obscure one.

ACORN: We Have A RIGHT To Invade Homes Because There Is A RIGHT To Housing
Bertha Lewis of ACORN DEFENDING ACORN's latest...encourage people that defaulted on their home loans and are being foreclosed on to break into the homes and squat...daring authorities to kick them out...
Here is the transcript of Stuart Varney, FOX Business network, interviewing Bertha Lewis, Executive Director of the New York branch of ACORN:
Stuart Varney: Do you think you got a right to these houses?
Bertha Lewis: I think the homeowners have a right to stay in those homes until the administrations plan can be implemented…yes I do.
Stuart Varney: They got a right to the house even though they haven’t paid their bills?
Bertha Lewis: They have been paying their bills…I think it’s a false thing to say that people haven’t been paying their bills.
Stuart Varney: No, their delinquent on their mortgages.
Bertha Lewis: Well, they maybe delinquent on their mortgages but there are people still do that.
Stuart Varney: They haven’t been paying their bills
Bertha Lewis: There are millions of millions of people who are…
Stuart Varney: Doesn’t matter, they haven’t been paying their bills.
Bertha Lewis: Being foreclosed on every day and so we have a plan in place and people need to stay there..
Stuart Varney: What right do you claim to stay in a house that you can’t afford and you cannot pay the bills and what right do you have to get my money to pay for you? I’ve read the constitution, I don’t see that right…
Bertha Lewis: Well, I don’t see the right that banks have to get 700 billion dollars to get bailed out
Stuart Varney: No, no, that’s a different thing…
Bertha Lewis: That’s all part of the same thing…
Stuart Varney: No it’s not…
Bertha Lewis: Every 13 seconds, Stuart, people are getting foreclosed on and they have the right to protect their homes and to protect their communities. It’s the most American thing you can do to protect your community.
Stuart Varney: ACORN is well known for looking at banks and saying “give us a loan,”….they don’t give you a loan so you scream racism you then invade their offices and demonstrate outside the private homes of bank executives, you embarrass the banks and you force them to give you loans on favorable terms, now…those loans cannot be repaid, you will not leave those homes and your claiming a right to stay in them and have a right to my money to make sure you stay in them, again…I come back to it Bertha, they may be be foreclosing every 13 seconds but you have absolutely no right to that house.
Bertha Lewis: Well banks don’t have a right to discriminate.
Stuart Varney: Again, your taking a parallel track you see….Where is the right?
Bertha Lewis: I wish we could force banks to our will but….
Stuart Varney: Where is the right? Where is the right to my money? You are demanding money from me.
Bertha Lewis: We’re not demanding money from you.
Stuart Varney: Yes you are.
Bertha Lewis: We’re demanding that the banks renegotiate these loans
Stuart Varney: It is taxpayer money in this plan, which you propose to bail out your people to stay in the homes they cannot afford. You are demanding my money and your saying you have a right to my money. It is no excuse to go on a parallel track and say “well the banks have no right to 700 billion dollars,” that’s not the point madam. You are demanding my money directly to your people. And that’s wrong.
Bertha Lewis: First of all these are not my people, these are millions and millions of hardworking homeowners who are paying their bills, paying….
Stuart Varney: They are not paying their bills….I can’t believe your getting away with this….they are not paying their bills.
Bertha Lewis: Well I know people who are.
Stuart Varney: They are delinquent on their mortgages that’s why they are being foreclosed on.
Bertha Lewis: They’re paying their bills, they’re paying their taxes.
Stuart Varney: They are not paying their mortgage bills and you know it.
Bertha Lewis: Yes they are.
Stuart Varney: No, if they were paying their mortgage bills they would not be foreclosed on, they would not be leaving the home….right?
Bertha Lewis: First of all, you are wrong because millions of millions of people are (ineligible), they are late on their mortgages
Stuart Varney: They are delinquent on their mortgages
Bertha Lewis: And that means late.
Stuart Varney: They have not paid their mortgage bills and you know it
Bertha Lewis: They have been foreclosed on and people need to be able to stay into their homes and so that they can take advantage of the President’s new plan.
Stuart Varney: So you invade these homes with a lot of guys. Your not going to leave, your gonna protect these people, we’re gonna stay in the home….Your a nice lady, your a gentle and a nice lady
Bertha Lewis: No I’m not…
Stuart Varney: But I put it to you….this is political thuggery.
Bertha Lewis: Well, I’m a very determined lady, I don’t think it’s political thuggery and I think it’s thuggery when you put out hard working members of home owners from their homes…..here’s the thing….
Stuart Varney: And it’s not when you invade a bank managers office so you shout racism? That’s not political thuggery?
Bertha Lewis: Well, it is true….
Stuart Varney: It is….that’s exactly what it is…
Bertha Lewis: Well you don’t want to tell a lie and a lie doesn’t make it the truth…
Stuart Varney: You are operating on taxpayer money. You’ve received…ACORN has received since 1998 thirty one million dollars of taxpayer money, three million dollars a year, you are doing this with my money.
Bertha Lewis: You want to know what we’ve done? We’ve counseled 2,300 people to stay in their homes, renegotiation their mortgages, and…here’s the thing. Every single penny we competed for and we can tell you this, if the industry had listened to us ten years ago when we said this was coming we wouldn’t be in this crisis. So now here’s what we’re gonna do.
Stuart Varney: Listened to you? You’ve invaded their offices
Bertha Lewis: No we didn’t
Stuart Varney: …you are political thugs, you embarrass banks to give them loans which they could not afford to repay and now they cannot afford to repay them and your claiming the right to my money to stay in those homes and you will have big burly guys who say “we’re not going to leave here no matter what!”
Bertha Lewis: No, we have homeowners who are protecting their homes.
Stuart Varney: Your a nice lady….come on!
Bertha Lewis: I’m a nice lady and I’m very determined lady to tell the truth and the truth is this…
Stuart Varney: You are not telling the truth…
Bertha Lewis: Here’s the thing…
Stuart Varney: Your telling me these homeowners have paid their bills and they have not…
Bertha Lewis: We cannot force anybody to do anything….here’s the thing, you know who are the thugs? The thugs are the banks, the thugs are the mortgage brokers who bilk people so they are delinquent and they deserve to be helped just like big banks and institutions are we intend to stay.
Stuart Varney: And they have not paid their mortgage bills and they have no right to those houses…that is my last word. Bertha Lewis….
Bertha Lewis: Housing is a right.
Stuart Varney: It is not a right.
Bertha Lewis: Yes it is
Stuart Varney: I’ve read the Bill of Rights, I’ve read the Constitution, no where does it say that housing is a right.
Bertha Lewis: Yes it is.
Stuart Varney: Can you show me? Which page? Which line?
Bertha Lewis: Well we have the right to the pursuit of happiness.
Stuart Varney: You have a right to a house? Where does it say that?
Bertha Lewis: If your a hard working American and you pay your taxes and you do the right thing you do have a right to protect your home.
Stuart Varney: I tell you what Bertha, we have a Constitutional lawyer in a few minutes, I’ll ask him if there is a line in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights that spells out a right to a house which you claim.
Bertha Lewis: That’s good….good.
Stuart Varney: But Bertha, we’ve run way over our allotted time..
Bertha Lewis: Have we, well you have to have me back and we will show you how many homes we have defended.
Stuart Varney: Defended? Invaded and stolen but that’s another story entirely. Thank’s Bertha.
And thanks to Stuart Varney for having the guts to tell it like it is...trouble is, is anyone listening? Let's hope so!!

"WE'RE NOT RICH...YET"
A real call by a woman to a bank or finance company that was going to repossess their car...the reason?...for NON-PAYMENT
This is real audacity...not the kind that most people THOUGHT Barack Obama was talking about...
THIS apparently is what Barack Obama was talking about...
TAKING the money from the people that work hard and pay their bills AND taxes...and GIVING their money to the people that don't work and pay taxes...
Elections have consequences...and this is only the beginning...

OBAMA CLAIMS THAT NO ECONOMIST DISAGREES WITH HIS STIMULUS PLAN
Thanks to the Cato Institute for putting together a statement that disputes Obama's claim that "everyone agrees" with his (Obama's) stimulus plan...
The American Spectator reports: Obama and other Democrats have repeatedly invoked the idea of an expert consensus in favor of the Pelosi plan. In his Jan. 3 weekly radio address as president-elect, Obama said that "economists from across the political spectrum agree" in support of the plan, and in a Jan. 9 press conference, he declared: "There is no disagreement that we need action by our government -- a recovery plan that will help to jump-start the economy."
Tired of hearing this insipid "everybody agrees" argument, the libertarian Cato Institute produced an open-letter response ad (pdf) featuring the bold headline: "With all due respect, Mr. President, that's not true." The open letter has now been signed by more than 200 economists, and I overheard a top Cato official last week tell a supporter that the institute plans to continue its ad campaign against the phony Keynesian consensus. (my emphasis)
Obama and his handlers are doing a good job of trying to brainwash the American public into buying his socialist, nanny-government programs...we need to keep digging and objecting...probably every day for the next four years...but I know we are up to it!

OBAMA: THERE ARE THOSE THAT WANT TO DO NOTHING
WHO??
WHO "WANTS TO DO NOTHING"???
WE WANT NAMES, OBAMA, NOT INNUENDOS AND CLOAKED ACCUSATIONS!!!
"As I said, the one concern I've got on the stimulus package, in terms of the debate and listening to some of what's been said in Congress, is that there seems to be a set of folks who -- I don't doubt their sincerity -- who just believe that we should do nothing."
I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANYONE IN CONGRESS STATE THAT THEY WANT TO DO NOTHING!
REPUBLICANS ARE SIMPLY SAYING THAT THIS BILL IS NOT THE BILL TO GET US OUT OF THE "OBAMA CRISIS"...

OBAMA'S BILL: SENIORS SHOULD BE MORE ACCEPTING OF THE CONDITIONS THAT COME WITH AGE INSTEAD OF TREATING THEM
BE AFRAID...BE VERY AFRAID!
Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them. That means the elderly will bear the brunt.
Defenders of the system say that individuals benefit in younger years and sacrifice later.
The stimulus bill will affect every part of health care, from medical and nursing education, to how patients are treated and how much hospitals get paid. The bill allocates more funding for this bureaucracy than for the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force combined (90-92, 174-177, 181).
Hiding health legislation in a stimulus bill is intentional. Daschle supported the Clinton administration’s health-care overhaul in 1994, and attributed its failure to debate and delay. A year ago, Daschle wrote that the next president should act quickly before critics mount an opposition. “If that means attaching a health-care plan to the federal budget, so be it,” he said. “The issue is too important to be stalled by Senate protocol.”
WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!
