Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. I see that Obama’s tax plan to close “loopholes” has pissed off the drug companies (to say nothing of any businesses that would see the Treasury Dept., headed by a tax cheat and the House Ways and Means headed by a tax cheat, claim that they’re cutting down on “tax cheats”).

At the same time, the Administration is claiming that the Scare Force One photos are classified and will not release them. Nonsense. We bought ‘em. We want to see ‘em (and want to see what the White House got for its little stunt that scared thousands of folks in and around the NYC metro area with its little flyby stunt).

Meanwhile, the Administration continues facing tests, and Pakistan looks like it needs to send a serious Swat team into Swat, because the situation is getting worse by the day.

And there’s no reason to think that Obama’s foreign policy is going to improve relations with Iran. They’re busy looking at throwing Israel under the bus, and Iran is showing its contempt with attacking targets inside Iraq and meeting with Hamas thugs in Syria (with whom the US wants to expand relations with as well).

At the same time, Hamas now claims that they want a 10-year hudna, which should be seen as just that - and not a ceasefire or truce. Hamas wants the time to regroup and rearm with the latest and greatest technologies, and coordinating with Iran is the lynchpin. They are probably getting intel and information about what they need to do going forward.

The Administration’s response to all this? Let’s talk.
