For an easy going guy like Mr Obama he needs a guy like Mr Biden . Some one who will bite the head off anyone that gets in the way of the president . He reminds me a little of LBJ . Mr Biden knows his way around Washington politics because even though Mr Obama is an intellegent person he will still the smarts of the likes of Mr Biden who also is a catholic . And with Mr Richardson as Sec of State he would have a great team . Just turn Mr Edwards loose as AT to clean up the mess and the rest of the world will love him .
There was a time when an event that caused a national crisis occurred the people we hired to manage our living conditions would make moves to correct the conditions . They were real Americans . What we have now is a gang operating for and racking in the cash from foreign lands and corporations . Operating clandestinely and openly to peel off more and more of American land , business , and jobs . Truman and Nixon both were Americans that made adjustments to prevent onditions similar to what we exsist with now . The present admin and their aides in congress care not about Americans . In this time of lose of income for Americans and higher cost of living not one penny has been cut from the money appropriated for foreign lands . Just think about this . WE BORROW MONEY TO GIVE AWAY , SOME OF WHICH IS KICKED BACK TO OUR LAW MAKERS . When the old politicians are proclaiming experience , keeping this business going is what they are talking about .
Many of us would like to know why so many of the Washington Gang voted to give pardons to these law breakers . There is a reason why and none of them have yet to step forward and tell the people that hired them the real reason behind their votes . This has a bad smell about it .
As the head of all political entertainment programing in the USA , Fox issued the talking points for this week "Obama needs to let people get to know him" so the Chris Math ' s and Wolf ' s have been following orders as usual . They must some how describe Obama as they want him to be seen .
The GOP is and always has been the political arm of Wall Street and the first thing a GOP campanigner must learn is to sing the song "SS IS SICK" . Wall Street sells annuities which is exactly what SS is . There is more money flowing in and out of SS than Wall Street and they have been trying since the inception of SS to get their hands on that money . SS money on the budget sheet makes the deficit look smaller which means "SS IS NOT SICK" . IT'S JUST THAT THE CORPORATE GANGSTERS WANT TO GET THEIR GREEDY HANDS ON IT . How many of them pay in to SS with capital appreciation gains or dividend income ? NONE . SO WHY SHOULD THEY GET TO MESS WITH SS MONEY THEY HAVE NOT CONTRIBUTED TO ?
We have this great process of selecting who will be our candidates for the job of managing our affairs . It is a managerial job . NOTHING MORE . The corporate media jumps in and brain washes many of the credulous uninformed electorate and we some times get a manager that is completely controlled by big corps . What the big corps want and what we the people want is at different ends of the spectrum . We do not want high fuel , health , food , water , cost of living prices . The big corps do . Thats what we have now because they got us to vote in the manager the big corps wanted . The big corps are now working to get us to vote in the manager they want again . It's just business . If we could figure out how to wear , eat , cure illness , earn a living , warm ourselves , fuel our trans , with left , right , center , left of center , right of center , female , or male all of this corporate media spin would be important to WE THE PEOPLE . We now have these two candidates from which to offer the management job . Their TOTAL voting records will tell how much control big corps have on them . We are in A DEEP HOLE . Please get rid of the sentiment . THINK ! INVESTIGATE !
Joan ; We all know your girl did not win so you must give the winner some pain . Maybe a lot of pain . But look at what you are trying to steer your part of the electorate to . A few weeks early in to his campaign he had to dump the new girl friend and announce it holding hands with present wife on national TV and radio . "AN unfaithful person" . He and present wife were involved with the theft and cover up of federally insured money that the American tax payers had to pay back . "A larcenist" . When the insurance corporatist were boldly handing out checks under the watchful eye of the c-span cameras was his hand reaching out for a check ? "Bribery" . With many Americans losing jobs because of out sourcing he goes to Colombia to help with the pending free trade agreement . And we all know free trade means bad for us , good for them . While your girl was campaigning promising good jobs with good pay , her husband , her campaign manager , along with rep Charlie R of NY and others were making deals to send the same jobs to Colombia . By the way , ask Charlie R what happened to the missing voters ballots from his district ? If you think you must give Mr Obama some serious pain just invite him out to the corner lot and kick his a** until you feel satisfied . I am sure you will get much more satisfaction from that . Just please don't tie another stone around the necks of us Americans .
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
