Anybody else a bit miffed that the Obama administraiton wants to start off the “New Era of Responsibility” (Copyright Hopenchange, 2009) by “extending a hand” (worth $825 bil) to any company with an “unclenched fist” and a bloody balance sheet?

The biggest welcome home I ever got was in Bangor, Maine in ‘91 after Desert Storm. Some guys from the VFW were handing out beers. Was a blast.

Almost eight years later, there’s still a big hole at Ground Zero, folks. It’s a testament to the incompetence and bungling of several government agencies, including the Lower Manhattan Development Corp. the Port Authority, and Mayor Bloomberg. Only Larry Silverstein, the private sector developer, has managed to finish anything.

Assad congratulates Hamas on ‘victory’ over IDF in Gaza

Syrian President Basher Assad met with Hamas leader Khaled Meshal Saturday morning, where he congratulated him for the “victory achieved by the Palestinian resistance in Gaza”, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported on Saturday.

According to the article, Assad told Meshal, currently in exile in Damascus, that the Palestinian peoples’ response to Israel Defense Forces operation “Cast Lead” was evidence of their “commitment to their inalienable rights to their land and homes, and of their deep faith in their ultimate victory over occupation and aggression.”

Hello everyone!
Just finished reading a Bob Herbert (yech) editorial from the NYT. He is swooning as are all the commenters over our new, YOUNG, president. So, I had to put my two cents in…
I think Obama is neither handsome nor a good leader. I think he is arrogant and his hubris will bring him down—later rather than soon enough. It is unfortunate. it reminds me of the fans who scream for their favorite rock star—and sleep with him or her if just to get an injection of that pizazz they want.

This kind of hero worship is VERY childish. There is no hero there to worship. The amazingly unselfconscious behavior is stunning. Mr. Herbert uses the Obama quote “We remain a young nation,” from the Inaugural Address, “but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things.” …should be looked at again. We are a young democracy? No. We aren’t. However, in our younger days, we had high ideals, and no, we shouldn’t put those “childish” things aside—not for a flash in the pan, 48 year old, 4-years at most prez, African-American man who has no track record of accomplishment, no transparency in either his personal or professional life, and on top of all that—only has contempt for those who disagree with him—the lip service right now when a consensus is needed will vanish. One day, if the NYT still exists, we may see an editorial asking “Who’s that man behind the curtain” but the NYT has helped with the wizardry and we’ll all realize that we’re not in Kansas any more.

“Outlining his strategy in organizing Alinksy (sic) writes:

“There’s another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevski said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution. To bring on this reformation requires that the organizer work inside the system, among not only the middle class but the 40 per cent of American families - more than seventy million people - whose income range from $5,000 to $10,000 a year [in 1971]. They cannot be dismissed by labeling them blue collar or hard hat. They will not continue to be relatively passive and slightly challenging. If we fail to communicate with them, if we don’t encourage them to form alliances with us, they will move to the right. Maybe they will anyway, but let’s not let it happen by default.”

Alinsky codified and wrote a clear set of rules[3] for community organizing. His rules for radicals are now used as key tactics to learn in the training of new community organizers.

re: #107 jwb7605

We need to find evidence that waterboarding still happens, maybe truth serums, etc.
Then we need to show approval.
Should drive the left wingers totally nuts.

I was totally gob-smacked at the sheer idiocy of the opening paragraph:

WASHINGTON – Barack Obama opened his presidency by breaking sharply from George W. Bush’s unpopular administration, but he mostly avoided divisive partisan and ideological stands. He focused instead on fixing the economy, repairing a battered world image and cleaning up government.

When lies are uttered as truth, you know we are in trouble.

re: #106 FurryOldGuyJeans

It isn’t that they didn’t listen, they actually welcomed it!

THAT is what scares me—they actually welcomed it. Arrrrgh. Although, I have to say, that there appears to be a little crack appearing in this veneer. The wh press corps, apparently. Seems like The One calls the ones ahead of time—Tag—and then only calls on them at the conference. Wow. The grumbling will finally turn into something that IRRITATES The One, goading Him into doing or saying something rather hubristic—like, for example. “Hey, I WON.”

I think there are a large portion of the American people who will NEVER believe that things are hopeless. Obama can beat the drum but American’s are generally optimistic and eventually the steady drumbeat of depression will wear thin. Negativity only goes so far. Obama intends to push that limit but he will fail and be swept out of office in 4 years when he has bankrupted the country. My only concern is that the more damage he does, the longer it will take to recover.

Fun Fact: Did you know that during the Clinton Days the Military went a month without getting paid?

Quick, someone find the next Reagan!

WASHINGTON — President Obama, seeking to broaden the appeal of his signature initiative, said Saturday that a proposed $825 billion package of spending programs and tax breaks was critical not only to turn around the economy but also to rebuild the nation for a new era.

In his weekly video address, posted for the first time on the White House Web site, Mr. Obama made the case that the package would help students go to college, protect workers from losing health care, lower energy bills and modernize schools, roads and utilities.

We are so screwed. How is this going to stimulate the economy?

re: #216 Iron Fist

Gun show report. It was crowded today. There was a long line out of the door, and most every table was occupied. that is pretty much what I expected. The selection was mixed. There were AR-15/M-4s all over the place, including several people walking around with their weapons available for private sell. The only thing that was unusual here was a couple of dealers who had AR-15/M-4 variants that fed from the top in 5.7. They used FN mags from the P-90. I’d never seen those before. I didn’t realize that anybody made them.

Lots of pistols (there always is), but nothing terribly unusual. Prices were better than I expected, really. There were a couple of Para-ordnance .45, a P12 and a P14, both with alloy frames.. The P12 was nearly new, but the P14 was well used. Both were $500, which wasn’t a bad price, but I don’t like the alloy frame.

There wasn’t much in the way of bargains to be had. I found a little something something at a real good price, so I’m happy. Prices weren’t outlandish for the most part. You could find something at a reasonable price if you shopped around a bit.

The one thing that really stood out had nothing really to do with guns. There was a fucking Confederate Hammer Skinhead wearing colors there. That was the first time I’d seen that at a gun show. It’s kind of disturbing that he felt comfortable enough to wear them. I didn’t see him buy anything. If I were a dealer, I don’t think that I’d feel comfortable selling him a gun. He’s got a right to believe that bullshit if that’s what he wants, but I don’t see as I’m obliged to accept his business.

Ammo availability?

re: #216 Iron Fist

I take it that gun show wasn’t in California….your lucky if you can buy a bolt action rifle in this crazy state these days.

re: #221 JCM

I have no doubt they are garnishing from someone who hasn’t paid their taxes, but somehow got my SSN as the culprit. At least I am HOPING that is what happened here.

A human being with an IQ somewhat lower that a troofer but a bit higher than the stuff I just scraped off the bottom of my shoe this morning.

Yes, but the stuff off the bottom of your shoe goes away…

re: #227 FurryOldGuyJeans

Someone that believes the official State of Hawaii birth certificate of Obama is fake, to cover up that he was actually born in Kenya and is a secretly practicing Muslim.

O version of Bush Troofer.

I think many of them have given their claims up at this point. Looking at their cobwebsites, you still see things like, “Time is running out!”

re: #187 JCM

What I’ve found is Obama’s supporters are too wrapped up in Hopen & Change’m to listen to the evidence of Obama’s direction.

we must jar them back to reality - Michelle said it first - O’s feet stink, the O plane stinks (remember that story?) and now the O Plan Stinks. I fear we are going to have to wage war via millions of bumperstickers.

re: #218 ArmyWife

I am the head of HR, I’ve seen the letters. Payroll, no doubt, got the typical computer generated letter. They have the wrong person. It will be fixed, but I have bills that come out of my account automatically. What if it was someone who couldn’t meet those obligations because the State is a bunch of nincompoops? Oh, they are going to get an earful.

Do you work in a State enterprise? There has to be some sort of remedy. I live in MD too and it is all too believable that something like this can happen. I don’t understand how we ended up with this jackhole Sally O’Malley.

Keep us updated. That’s not good.

I’m all for it, but I can’t afford to pay for a vandalized car.

re: #170 quickjustice

The most important task for Obama (a la Alinsky) right now is to impress upon the American people how hopeless everything is with the current capitalist system. To support revolutionary change, people must believe that everything is hopeless.

Limbaugh must be isolated and polarized. The GOP must abandon him to achieve consensus with the new regime in solving the nation’s problems. Resistance is futile. They will be assimilated. And leading the GOP “consensus” builders? John McCain.

his nastiness towards rush is going to backfire. it is so petty and unbecoming of a president. he is behaving like a lowlife thug, scrapping on the street.
very undignified.
not to mention, highly inappropriate of him to infringe on the 1st amendment rights of the pols. he tried to intimidate.
rush is not going to hold back now.
he is going to come out swinging on monday.

Also: I thought Rush gave a very profound response and shows he is full aware of what he’s up against. O has declared war on Rush. That was the first shot.

Has everyone let their senators know they want them to vote NO on Geithner?

Oh, the SSN that is not for identification purposes, eh?

Time to watch Brazil again to remind myself what efficient government is.

re: #207 ArmyWife

Nothing, nada. Which means it’s an “administrative error”, I know. But one that I will have to fix, and one that was uncalled for to start.

I’d demand interest plus a penalty. Probably no go but, it couldn’t hurt.

i can’t wait. I’ve been on the defensive for 8 years.

re: #238 Iron Fist

It’s not just the thought of a President Biden, although that is a pretty vomit-inducing thought. I don’t want the Obamessiah turned even more into a God-King, personal Jesus type cult figure than he already is. If he were assassinated, the outpouring of pure worship would make the Cult of JFK look like an agnostic prayer meeting.

I pray for his safety.

I didn’t understand the “what’s his life worth question”, because your comment was the only response I could give.

In Biblical tradition, his life is worth what he thinks my life is worth.

Unbecoming of a President, yes. Scrappy, yes.
He’s acting like the MSM!

We are so screwed. How is this going to stimulate the economy?

It’s a massive transfer of wealth.

Yes, but Cantwell and Murray don’t want to hear my voice.

re: #224 Pigtown Water Dog

Hope the Obama dog doesn’t cause the puppy mill creeps to cause more suffering for status. “Let’s get a dog like the Obamas have!” God, I hope not.

Funny that you say that. A Portuguese Water Hound is not a real popular breed right now , so the pups are really healthy.
My wife & I were talking about this, this morning & hoping that people don’t just have to have one if BHO has one.THat would lead to puppy mills.
