AARP corrupt scumbags get an Obama pail

I wonder if AARP would be so eager to endorse the ObamaCare scam if it would replace Medicare and infringe on AARP’s lucrative Medicare supplemental insurance plans. It won’t so of course they won’t.

Here’s your pail you fucking scumbags….

HIV travel service

So the ban is to be lifted. the ban being the restriction that forbid those with HIV/AIDS from traveling into the USA. Much like many of Obamas acts as POTUS Bush actually set this up but the bureaucracy never acted on it. Now Obama allegedly will.

I do find it odd though that anyone doesn’t see this as a bad thing. I really don’t see how allowing people with a deadly disease into the country isn’t a public health issue. Just think of the reverse scenarios of international travel for prostitutes. The international johns get all types of nasties let alone the fact that they aggravate the suffering plight of the sex workers.

Sorry folks. You got HIV stay home.

A ‘toon so wrong…

If anyone thinks the HRC visit has anything to do with Pakistan taking action versus the Taliban they’re an idiot.

The fact that the Taliban is killing Pakistanis and blowing stuff up in the homeland is why the Pakistanis are stepping up.

The Pakistanis have been trying to step up for some time now. They even went to the USA and NATO asking for them to pick it up a notch.

The Islamabad government don’t have it easy and the folks at the NYT and other Obama pail carrying entities need to get that.

in2the Afghan thing

So the Pakistanis have supposedly found items linking Inians to the terrorist elements in South Waziristan

The Indians have announced they see Pakistani hands involved in a large counterfeit operation

The Pakistanis are on an offensive against the Taliban

The Pakistani public pretty much vomited secondary to Hillary Clintons visit

Karzai is again the president of the Republic of Afghanistan

US service personnel are dying in Afghanistan whilst their ground/theater commanders still desire 40k+ reinforcements

Obama says……

So just in case you don’t know where I’m going with this and hey can’t blame ya here we go.

Pakistan has been knocked regards their efforts on the terrorist front. ,yet it’s pretty clear they are indeed doing something. No wonder too since in their infinite wisdom the Taliban have attacked Pakistani populations and caused death and destruction amongst the locals.

This latest ratcheting up of offensive on part of the Pakistanis has the added spice of the never ending Kashmir conundrum. So I’m thinking the Pakistanis are really trying to find a way to allow the military to start lighting up a lot of stuff. Do you think that is a good thing ?

Meanwhile Afghanistan is having their ongoing issues and what can we expect ?

Well expect Obama to try to find a way OUT. The Afghani opposition and by that I mean Abdullah may or may not try to get UN type elements to reignite power sharing government. Kind of tricky since Ban Moon has given Karzy the nod today.

Bottom line more death and displeasure to come from Afghanistan.

Good thing Poland has no use for missile shield…

Seems the neo Soviets held a military exercise that simulated a multi prong attack on Poland. UKT

Too big to fail fails and big government and us pay…

CIT going to bankruptcy court folks and the big money line we the taxpayer need to pay attention to is the following:

CIT’s move will wipe out current holders of its common and preferred stock. That means the U.S. government will likely lose the $2.3 billion it sunk into CIT last year in return for preferred shares to prop up the ailing company. The government could have lost billions more, however, had it not declined to hand over more aid to the company earlier this year.

Treasury Department spokesman Andrew Williams said the government will be closely monitoring the bankruptcy proceedings, but acknowledged that “recovery to preferred and common equityholders will be minimal.”

too big to fail has done exactly that and we are the losers.

IN2 3 TOONS I LIKED RECENTLY

Saw this one in the online version of the Economist. It is very strong in it’s symbolism and this is a story that should have some legs this week.

I think no matter your party affiliation you can run with this one a bit. I think that’s why I like it really. To me either way Obama is just a total punk and a waste of carbon and water.

This one was my favorite. It is perfect in it’s imagery. It is also great when you note it was created prior to the disclosure that regardless of the wallet rape the Pelosi plan doesn’t cover the little peeps. So much like every other time the government shoves its digits in our rectum we get nothing but the reaming. Cool! huh?

Some more toons for the times..

For my files I subtitled this one “too true” I ain’t lying. point by point issue by issue this is just way too true.

I really liked this one for it’s ability  to capture the spirit of the situation. I know people will disagree with the imagery or put a spin to it. Sorry folks it to is too true for me right now.

I felt this one offered a humorous look at things in the news and on the minds of my fellow Americans. No matter the angle you come from the fact that we as a nation spent time and money pursuing the “balloon boy” story when a certain other balloon was blowing away our future as a nation is too funny. Wait a minute that’s not funny that actually is kinda f@#$ed up.

And I know the O-bots and spin-meisters can’t enjoy this one but I sure did. Very un Presidential sir- very.

In2 Toons for our Times 10.24.09

Here’s a collection of toons I found to be very fitting of our times. See if you agree:

I used that one before. The usefulness of it just doesn’t fade. I’m looking out for the follow up having Obama digging his spurs into the sides of a dead donkey. We’ll see I guess.

This was one of many I saw on the subject of the Afghanistan re- election. I liked the local flavor of this one as well as the hidden messages it had. I don’t know if the artist meant for these thoughts to come from his piece.

I thought of a nation that clearly has a lot of dead people that won’t be voting. You can take that one a few ways. I also am just about past done with the Obama Administrations stances on international elections. Iran,Afghanistan,Honduras. Theres a lack of something there me thinks.

I came across this one and in contrast to what I assume the artist wants I offer an opinion. One could very well use this toon to slam the governments failure in vaccine distribution. that is a story line as likely to happen,more so perhaps. I found this toon a crappy shot at the issue. It shows an ignorance of the issues subplots which are all too real. My kids pediatrician is on the fence for the shot himself. The deeper reality is that Swine flu isn’t killing healthy people and good hygiene practices are huge boon to fighting it and it’s regular seasonal counterpart. Bad toon-Bad!

I chose this one primarily due to fellow WPBA blogger Rutherford Lawson. This is right up his alley ideology wise. It’s also a equal time kind of thing. I personally don’t see the GOP in such dire straits,in fact I think any crisis afoot is more an opportunity for catharsis, a good thing if you ask me.

This one is a classic. no matter your party affiliation the story is real and will need to be faced sooner or later. All our checks are written in red currently and thats not good. As for Social Security well, for whom does the bell toll ?, It tolls for you and me!

There is a wake up call for all of us when the inability to sustain the entitlement programs is so apparent.

How can you not relate to this one. We’re on the outside (behind locked doors I may add) on this one folks and the donkey excitement is unwarranted to say the least.

This one spoke to me. I’ve been trying to figure a perfect gift for my governor,congressional delegation and president. Now I know

Americas new Civil War…

We are a divided nation. More than half the population do not pay taxes. We for the first time in our history have more people in the broken down car than we have pushing it. We have a permanent underclass that is being super glued  to the public teet and an ever aging population latching on to bankrupting entitlement programs.

When will the shooting start?

George Soros gift giver ?

The big profits made by some of Wall Street’s leading banks are “hidden gifts” from the state, and taxpayer resentment of such companies is “justified”, George Soros

Curious does this mean Georgie boy will be giving away some of his gifts ? I mean really giving it away too not the conscience cleansing ego stroking shit he already does.

Not for nothing but isn’t NOW the time to take a last stand in Afghanistan

I was just thinking that was a good question to pose to Barry O.

You see my reasoning is that the Pakistanis are finally ramping up operations against the Taliban. Elections are not an issue in Afghanistan regardless what people want you to think. The winter is huge though.

Isn’t right now a great time to ramp it up and git er done ?

The Pakistanis have even asked NATO to seal the border. That’s no small order but it seems to reek of an opportunity to put the Taliban in a two front war with a dash of classic pincer maneuver action. I’m of the school that it is now or never. We either do this now and do it right or we get all our folks out of there pronto and let the people suffer. We won’t hear them screams, we rarely ever do elsewhere. This comes with a major caveat though. If Afghanistan ever harbors,trains etc. someone,even a single person, that carries out an act of terrorism on America and kills an American,even one, WE NUKE AFGHANISTAN.

The choice is ours. President Obama….what ya gonna do ?

Hugo and yet more Hubris

So as mentioned in my other post ALBA has come up with a doozie at their last meeting of the mini minds.

The ALBA leaders also called for an “International Tribunal of Climate Justice” that would presumably seek to oblige rich countries to pay “damages” for their disproportionate consumption of fossil fuels.

How funny is that ?

Venezuela which fuels its revolution,or as some aptly call it the robolution, with oil sales. Is Hugo willing to stop drilling the Devils Excrement for the sake of the planet ? I don’t think so.

Morales of Bolivia signed off on this. Although he is actually fighting to fix some real ills it has to be said he’s far from perfect. The sugar and gas industries alone are raping the land and the people. Is that really the fault of the end consumers ?

Dominica could some day be underwater but then again they can make sea barriers out of money bags. I say that since bananas are not the major revenue stream for this island nation. Deposits from those big bad rich nations folks are.

Folks I’m more than willing to accept a level of responsibility for pollution etc secondary to my cars and furnace and civilized lifestyle. On the other hand don’t piss on me and tell me its raining. The suppliers are just as guilty if not more. Feeders of an addiction are worse than the user when it comes to drugs and I’d say that is equally applicable in this scenario. I’d further state that the new kids on the block of petro production are way down on the ethical end when it comes to production methods and standards. I close with bite me ALBA and die Hugo.

Honduras,Hugo and Hubris

So I saw a report about Hugo and the Hugonauts aka ALBA have voted to denounce the upcoming elections in Honduras. ALBA a collection of nine piss ant nations have taken a number of positions that I find laughable at their last meeting. The Honduran one is for now the biggest.

No matter ones opinion on the coup/not a coup the Honduran constitution allowed for 90% of what happened to Zelaya. Deal with that please !

Now the world community and the region for sure are setting the stage that the elections are to be voided,rebelled against,ignored. What the hell ?

Is it not best to allow the elections. To monitor to the max via international means. Isn’t that scenario the best to make an international statement? More importantly isn’t that the thing that will help the Honduran people the most ?

To hell with ALBA and Hugo. Support the Honduran Elections !

Basic health care reform bribe the electorate antics math…

Sixty years is how long Democrats say they’ve been pushing for legislation that provides health care access for all Americans. They’ll have to wait another three if President Barack Obama gets a bill to sign this year.

Under the Democratic bills, federal tax credits to help make health insurance affordable for millions of low- and middle-income households won’t start flowing until 2013-after the next presidential election. But Medicare cuts and a sizable chunk of the tax increases to pay for the overhaul kick in immediately.

Maine…West Virginia with teeth ?

Cousin humping,Canada wannabes,no economy except sucking up to Canucks and Bay Staters and Senator Snowe.

Little troll has done the obvious. The mix of apathy beat voters,morons and transplanted homo liberals and you get the bastardization of a state.

Maine Ye reap what Ye sow.

Michigan and the number 33,000…

I imagine Michigan sucks for at least 33k reasons and I’m sure others love it for the same number of reasons. I was recently taken aback by a statement from the Michigan governor,Granholm (D) , that the stimulus was working in her state per the 33,000 jobs created or retained.

This occurred at the cost of 3.7 BILLION DOLLARS!!!!

Concerned that the piece I was reading had a misprint I searched Michigan and 33,000 and look what I found:

33000 homes weatherized: I wonder how much that cost ?

33000 jobs lost: This was regards general job losses. The number also came up regards GM job cuts but not all 33k were in Michigan. A point Gov. Granholm stressed ad nauseum.

33000 jobs for a mere 3.7 billion: The crux of the post and my general curiosity.

I feel for people in Michigan. Clearly on the downslope with zero traction in sight the leaders there dream of green jobs revolutions and other pixie dust idiocy.

Unemployment there is at an astounding 15.2%. The faces behind those digits don’t need dreams they need reality. Here’s some reality. Rust belt,politically corrupt,overly bureaucratic,unioned up states are not gonna get any of the absolutely non positive impact green jobs that will someday,maybe show up.

That is that and you don’t need to read it 33000 times to get it.

Democracy isn’t about peace, love, and happiness…

Saw this over at Reason some time ago and it really spoke to the issue so many O bots and Anti O’s seem to have.

Whether Obama really cares about bipartisanship isn’t all the important. Sure it would be nice but like the Obots say his side did win.

As for steamrolling treacherous legislation and pissing about right of center bitching over it the Dems really need to shut the fuck up.

Discord,disdain and plain old diss of the POTUS isn’t new and solely dedicated to the black guy.

It’s generally forgotten that on Inauguration Day in 2001, Bush was greeted by thousands of protesters who threw eggs and bottles, made obscene gestures, and carried signs jeering, “Hail to the thief”—a reference to the legal fight needed to settle the outcome of the election. To the protesters, he was a corrupt enemy of democracy.

Clinton fared no better. He was reviled as a skirt-chasing, America-hating draft dodger. Eventually, he handed his antagonists the opportunity to impeach him, in one of the bitterest episodes in American political history.

What Obama may not have recognized before he arrived in the White House is that hating presidents is an irrepressible American tradition. The haters hung George Washington in effigy. They called Abraham Lincoln a dictator. They said Franklin Roosevelt was a Bolshevik.

Dwight Eisenhower’s enemies suggested he was a “conscious, dedicated agent of the Communist conspiracy.” Shortly before John Kennedy arrived in Dallas in November 1963, where he was assassinated, an ad ran in the local newspaper with his picture over the legend, “Wanted for Treason.” REASON

47 days until Honduran elections

Yippee!!! Let’s see if the Nobel Peace Prize Piece will pony up some observers seeing as others have said they won’t (UN punks).

Let’s see if the negotiations continue until the 29th. I predicted they would and see nothing that points to anything else.

Now the really meaty part of the bone. What will Z and Micheletti do on the 28th,or perhaps more important the thirtieth?

Best Wishes to the Honduran masses from Alfie at In2thefray

Nobel Cries Part II

I was in an office building and saw one of those news/ads streaming screen thingies and thought it must be feeding the Onion with the Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize line.When I looked further into it and heard his acceptance speech I was speechless,other than curses and assorted moans of disbelief. Although the Nobel Peace Prize has often shown the credibility of a den of thieves in the past it usually kind of stood for something- sometimes.No longer.

Obama Cult

It has been said before and bears repeating. Love him or hate him the constant fawning and up-billing of Barack Obama is just insane. He does him no good in the long run and basically denigrates the USA. Like it or not the guy has a job to do. if he is to get anything done people need to stop worshiping him.

Accomplishment not!

Sorry folks but other than continuing scores of G.W. Bush policies he has done nothing. OK OK he signed into law a law that allows disgruntled women longer periods of time to sue employers. Other than that he’s got nothing. If you were feeling generous you could give him props on trying to start a number of things,but accomplishing,completing….nah!

Mt Rushmore is being prepared for BHO

Let’s face it it must be right ? Whether they’re gonna chop of one of the guys or chisel out O nearby surely it must happen. Teddy R is on the thing solely due to his ego so why not Obama. Teddy gave us the National Parks and Obama is gonna save them from climate change. Get yer hammer Betty!

Premature Ejaculation

If you do the math Obama was nominated before he became President. WTF???? Who did this guy beat out ? Well a damn number of potential people more worthy for sure.

How’s the sharing thing work ?

So he humbly accepts the prize on behalf of all. How exactly do we get a chance to touch it,pose with it etc. We are yet to fully feel the burden of Obamas schemes yet he gets fodder for yet another stupid book and we get nothing but a chance to show how truly stupid and sheep like we are.

I am saddened to be an American…

Honest to God. I am saddened to be an American. I start to mourn my nation today and fret over what kind of world my children will live in in the future. When principles and honesty are so easily coopted on such a grand scale how can anyone be happy.

Looking to the near future I cringe at how this decision will continually degrade the office of the Presidency. One would say we are obligated to purse peace and climate control. Peace can only exist in the absence of man. Cap and trade will cause revolution. Where does this leave us ?

In closing

Joe Strummer, perhaps best known as the front man for the Clash once said:

There’s something quite good about coming,saying your bit and then going. I quite like that.

That’s how I feel now. This event symbolizes what has been wearing me down regards politics,life and definitely blogging. So there it is.I had a go. Take care and thanks.

U.S. Policy Toward Burma

blah blah blah…..

There is some points of worthy discussion regards Myanmar/Burma and I favor engagement. i wonder if this is real though. I have my thoughts and doubts though.

An example of how diplomacy sucks…

The following is an excerpt from a press release regards the Obama Administration and the UN Human Rights Council. The HRC is rightfully portrayed as a joke and a disgrace. Equally one can concede that to change it you’d need to be part of it.

For my part we shouldn’t be part of it,beholden to it or respectful of it. We should however be committed to succeed where it so woefully fails. The following does not help to encourage me that that is where we’re going.

The Obama administration did not agree with all of the council’s actions, but “that was not our expectation,” Brimmer said.  “We have, however, launched an effort to build new partnerships and strengthen dialogue to transcend some of the common impediments to multilateral effectiveness,” she added.

“It’s important that we’re in there defending the values we hold dear. That’s why we wanted to rejoin the council. We wanted to be part of making the case of why human rights are important, [to] be the ones who are standing up for universality and standing with those who share those values, and we have to be in the body in order to do that,” she said.

Asked about the Goldstone report which reported on alleged Israeli and Palestinian human rights violations during the December 2008-January 2009 violence in Gaza, the assistant secretary said the United States has “serious concerns about the report’s unbalanced focus on Israel, its sweeping factual and legal conclusions, and many of its recommendations.”

However, the report contains “serious allegations” concerning violations of international human rights and humanitarian law which “need follow-up.”  Both sides are encouraged to undertake domestic investigations by the report and “look at their responsibilities in that regard,” she said.

Brimmer also said the United States appreciates the U.N.’s decision to defer consideration of the report for an additional six months. America.gov

Some people will make fun of Obama…

and that’s a good thing.

I have to confess I shared the concern of many that comics and editorialists et al would be hands off the O.

The following are some examples that that may not hold true.

Regards the whole nuke thing

Too true no matter what side you're on

Even a GOPer can sympathize with the context of this one

Russia and the Lisboon Treaty

Saw this over at PressTV and was moved to thunk it down here.

“We proceed from the fact that the completion of the process of the treaty’s ratification will positively influence the negotiations on the conclusion of a new Russia-EU basic agreement, under which the issues of fine-tuning the mechanisms of our cooperation are discussed, among other things,” Nesterenko said.

I’m curious if to some degree the Russians see a treaty bound further unified Europe as a bigger bunch of pussies. You see I’m quite cynical on what the Russians think about their former satellite states and how they wield the energy power they have over Europe. Ergo a potential boon to the Russian strategies.

Any Europeans care to share a view? I’m seriously curious and have but the ability to ask.

Obama and the Games…

I left this comment at Rutherford and felt moved to pose it as a question here.

Curious about one Obama Olympics thing. Since he LOVES to spend our money will he entertain funding the athletes like every other nation or was this always just about his home town and ego?

I haven’t seen that explored anywhere amongst the other rhetoric on the subject. Was this an attempt to do something that would resemble a win in the annals of history for his administration ?

I ponder on it and say yeah.

I think he saw a brass ring and tried to grab it. Sure it would’ve been risky. Sure there was corrupt back room deals a happenin’ to add his star power to the bid. In the end though it was something to be remembered for. Now he is left hoping he’ll be remembered for something other than failing. Health care isn’t gonna erase this since that’s going down too.

We’ll see

Blame it on Rio!

I won’t play the “Obama Sucks” card. In fact if anyone on the Right goes that route I’ll seriously just have to get drunk and sulk all weekend.

I had predicted Rio getting the Games of 2016 and came a pubie from posting on it. Well better late than never and better to take the In2thefray look at the politics of it.

Sure Chicago is corrupt but perhaps there is hope that it just isn’t IOC level corrupt.

Obama plugged for the Games but he really didn’t have a chance. As much as people want to have everyone believe the World loves him-they don’t.This is just another step in what will be a llllooonnnnngggg course of anti America new world order shit.

Lulu and the tanned ones get the nod for a laundry list of reasons. The international set gets points for having some guts getting outside the box but I’m not buying the idea they are now somehow so noble.

So if I am forced to get shattered this weekend there are two things you can do.

#1 Rest assured I will not drink and drive.

#2 You can blame it on Rio.

In2 Quick Frays:Ghadafi & Hugo,too funny

Gadhafi and Chavez sign anti-terrorism declaration

Too funny. Chavez writing checks to FARC and Pan Am 103 anyone ? It is hilarious when piss ant nations try to get their international woodies on.

I don’t know perhaps it’s all in the eye of the beholder.

In2 Quick Frays: PR Independence

America doesn’t need the hassle of a dependent state or the stigma of colonialism in the 21st century. Puerto Rico doesn’t need to be held down,held back or have it’s hand held etc.

Independence Now for PR!!!

In2 Obama Fail…

I see the news of the soundbite that is alleged policy and have gotten my red pencil out.

The American Public Education System (A.P.E.S.) is a disgrace and although I have gladly given BHO some credit on education in the past I have to give him an F here.

Cutting the summer vacation is a bad idea on so many levels. Likewise adding hours to the day is piss poor. And of course the idiocy of cutting lunch and or recess for more time elsewhere is evident to even a graduate of the A.P.E.S.

The various spin around the story such as bringing up the agrarian economy/schedule is so pathetic.

The unions will want more money no matter how we slice this and that still doesn’t address the real problem. We suck at teaching.

Much like health care reform you can either fix the problem or waste time and money. It seems in his effort for diversions and partisan boiler stoking O is going with the latter.

In2 A Honduran Update

I honestly feel for the Honduran people at this time. Hell i’ve felt for them all along. Pawns to the neo colonialism that is the international carrot on a stick this poor nation and it’s inhabitants are truly victims of a very sick game.

The Micheletti government was  right to do ehat they did but they have done many things wrong since. They deserve a high degree of condemnation but neither them or more importantly the Honduran public deserve the deadly isolation and brinkmanshipt he world bodies have thrust upon them.

Likewise Mr. Zelaya deserves scorn. In fact I honestly feel this cowardly piece of shit deserves to die. His death will unfortunately breed a aura of martyrdom but he must die plain and simple. Under the guise of demanding his office back he is endangering the lives of the people. He is also without a doubt compounding the anti constitutional actions that lead to his removal.

Those that point out the actions of the interim government as an example of a threat to regional democracy really need to wake up. the threats to regional democracy in all of Latin America is alive and well in places like Havana,La Paz,Caracas,Quito and Managua. The Banana Republic fears of oligarchs and the wealthy are easily rivaled by the new dictators.

America should be very concerned about what is happening in it’s own backyard. It should also look to step up for real democracy and help places like Honduras as opposed to ostracizing them.

Honestly I don’t see how anyone can call the current administrations actions against Honduras as anything but a shame. A shame that mirrors the oafish Corrallary actions of the past as well as the more contemporary disgraces of Pinochet,El Salvador and others.

In2 Yeah the crisis is over hahahahahaha

Saw a piece over at Financial Times. You know the pinkish paper that has a pretty good rep for business stuff.

It seems that while many of us are still clueless of the workings of higher finance there is something brewing that might very well give us all a hell of a lesson.

All the folks desiring banks to pony up equity as to avoid future calamities have a bill for the banks. It is over a trillion dollars. It is thought that the way to get the money is helped via assessing penalties on the institutions.

They don’t have the money folks and any attempt to make them find it will crush them, and then us.

In2 Obama vs China ???

Overtures to the junta heads of Myanmar and tariffs on tires President Barack Obama is taking a stand against China. They hold a ton of our debt and holds assorted other corporate versions of our pubic hair in their hands and O is possibly rattling their cage.

Good idea or crazy ?

more to follow……..

In2 Bailing out the bailers????

FDIC needs cash and is going to the banks to get it. Although there is no lack of sensationalism tied to the story it is none the less a tad disturbing.

Fees,new fees or straight out loans from-ironically-the banks the agency that is meant to assure solvency and consumer liquidity is in trouble. That isn’t good right ?

AP/Yahoo

In2 Pulling the plug on Afghanistan…

The Right is having a field day with President Obamas comments regard Afghanistan,victory and troop deployments. They’re all digging up sound from the spring where the Prez pledged fighting hard and winning etc. They are trying to paint a picture that Obama doesn’t care about troops and is soft on the Talleyban and Packystan.(they seem to enjoy stressing his pronunciation so I thought I’d throw those in and ask can anyone say nuclear ?-I have no idea how to phonics up that Bushism  btw)

Well not for nothing but I don’t agree with my brethren on the Right. I do think the President is initiating steps to leave. Plain and simple. He’s pulling out for better or for worse.

I guess we’ll see.

In2 Jimmy C Last on the Bus…

I saw some folks stating that President Barack Obama has somehow thrown former President Jimmy Carter under the bus.

I don’t know about that but I saw an AP story that Jimmy has finally seen the light that Hugo Chavez has indeed become too authoritarian.

Better late than never I guess.

In2 Obama Lies Large…

Sorry folks but when I saw this I snapped a bit. It is an absolute LIE.

“My task here was not to negotiate with the Russians,” Obama told CBS’ “Face the Nation” in an interview for broadcast Sunday. “The Russians don’t make determinations about what our defense posture is.”

That is absolute bullshit! The Russian follow up speaks to it. The hope and probable need of Russian help on North Korea and Iran and the in general desire to engage all on all fronts speaks to it too.

The decision on the deployment of defensive missile systems isn’t a bad one on behalf of the President;however, it is a lie to say he isn’t up to his ears in negotiations and that the Russians have him by his shorties.

In2 A Sunday Morning Question…

With all the debate and discussion about race,racism,liberals,leftards,conservatives and wingnuts I’m curious about something.

When it comes to the extremes and centers which end of the spectrum is actually better for the Constitution?

In2 Putin goes for the throat…

So it seems the missile plan really isn’t going to spin the way Obama probably wanted it to.

Vlad has launched this:

“I expect that after this correct and brave decision, others will follow,” Mr Putin said in a speech in the Black Sea resort of Sochi. The measures should include “the complete removal of all restrictions on the transfer of high technology to Russia and activity to widen the membership of the World Trade Organisation to [include] Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus”, he said

Strength and peace through appeasement has never worked for the world and I don’t think it’s gonna start now. The European based missile defense shield was always about Russia and supporting allies and contractors. It had nothing to do with Iran or North Korea.

The decision to pull the system is actually a good one especially if we sea base assets to do the job instead. The handling of the whole thing is a complete disgrace and actually a danger to the USA. Way to go BHO

In2 Wilson censure vote shockers…

Barney Frank voted present. I fell of my chair when I heard that and that wasn’t good because I was driving my car at the time. Rep. Frank had this to say in classic Barney-ese:

“I think it’s bad precedent to put us in charge of deciding whether people act like jerks,” Frank said. “I don’t have time to monitor everyone’s civility.”

I loathe this guy but good for him. He of all people in Congress stepped up and showed some integrity and foresight. Again I loathe him but I have to give him some props.

The other surprise was Dennis Kucinich voting against the resolution. Again WOW! Either he really is a nutter or he like a handful of others thinks there is something more important on the Congressional plate.

Well the deed is done let’s see what these folks do now. My guess is pray all weekend for another juicy distraction.

In2 I really have to go weeeeeeeee…

Thank you Mr. Stark for your comment.

You undoubtedly thought you were being witty,edgy or hip. Perhaps you have prostate problems or had a bad “Golden Shower” experience. Not to say I think there is such a thing as a good one. My best guess though is that you are in your second diaper phase.

I said this somewhere else and now I want to repeat it here.

Americans have recently got some good advice from a source that by no means intended to do such a service. Let’s not waste our urine pissing on each other. Where there are real issues, real debate ,real fire that’s where it’s at.

So who’s in ? I for one am charging up the line and Rep. Stark,know this,if you were on fire….I’d piss on you otherwise I’ll let my dog do it.

In2 Should Jimmy Carter Shut up or Keep Talking???

Seriously I’m torn.

On one hand I want very badly for him to keep talking so as to cement his legacy as a pathetic p.o.s.. On the other hand for all people I’m thinking he needs to shut the f@#$ up and stay that way.

On so many issues and topics he comes off as a disgrace to the nation and the Office. If I was face to face with the guy I’d tell him the following.

I hate peanuts and I pretty much loathe you. I think you should really embrace Habitat for Humanity and the fact that you tried pretty hard for Middle East peace and call it a day.Take care and thank you for your time Mr. President

In2 No seriously this is a serious question…

I was reading some press on Sen. M. Baucuss healthcare plan unveiling as it were. It like so many variants left me with a number of questions and thoughts but also one big front burner whopper.

WHY IS IT THAT ALL THE REFORM PLANS DON’T ELIMINATE AT LEAST MEDICAID ?

I get Medicare staying around as that was theoretically paid into all of ones working life. Medicaid though seems to me the elephant in the room nobody wants to see. Isn’t it just a government paid health care plan ? Shouldn’t it and it’s funding be put into the reformed plan ?

I’m stopping here as I see the question marks getting ready to mount up. Please help me out onthis one….Seriously

In2 Reform…what does it mean ?

Saner folks in the country that are trying to have a debate on the health care debacle that is unravelling down in the Beltway have real concerns.

I consider myself one of those saner folks and am sharing an article I saw over at City Journal.

HR3200 doesn’t say boo about medical malpractice reform. In his recent speech President Obama paid pathetic lip service pretty much proposing pilot programs at the state level. Go figure a Democrat proposing more bureaucracy.

Anyway in the truest meaning of the word reform of the health care system in America MUST address malpractice,litigation and defensive medicine.

I think Obama needs to remember something he said in 1996. I don’t know the full context of the address it’s from so some Chicagoean could possibly hand me my ass in this discussion but here it is:

“Anyone who denies there is a crisis in medical malpractice is probably a trial lawyer.” – Barack Obama

In2 Missiles everywhere…

Russia is selling Hugo Chavez some “little rockets”

It’s reported as defensive rockets with a range of 180 miles give or take. I’m not impressed by this so much as the Russians are not known for selling the best stuff on Earth and well….it’s Hugo. I do have a chunk of curiosity though how much of the previously contracted  $4 BILLION in arms contracts have been fulfilled.I kinda wonder if Hugo is like the annoying customer that window shops all the time but then only buys the simplest thing.

Patriot missile systems to Turkey !!!!!!!!!!

This deal alone is reported to be worth 7.8 BILLION. What’s that about ?  You have to think/hope that this is as much about assuring some connections with the very important nation of Turkey and not just money.

I remember a time we sent some missiles too Turkey before. It ultimately resulted in an October that lived up to autumnal symbolism and halloween. Let’s see.

In2 Democracy ????

There are many signs in the world. When it comes to your rights in a democracy this shouldn’t be one of them:

In2 Obama is a liar

Hope and change ? I don’t think so. Barack Obama has lied from day one. Now I accept that most of his lies are the good old fashioned politics type of lie. Double speak,bull shit promises and chum bits tossed to any given shark in any set of partisan waters.

It’s still a pack of lies though and we all deserve better. Whether you like or dislike Mr. Wilsons stand you have to accept that there is a grain of truth in what he said and more so in what he did.

Let’s hear from you….

In2 it’s rough to be a German soldier…

Many reports are out there on the German ordered air assault in Kunduz Afghanistan. NATO is sweating it and the sitting German government could feel shockwaves come election far exceeding those related to the German ordered US airstrike.

Omar told SPIEGEL that the German commander who ordered the strike, Colonel Georg Klein, “made the right decision at the right time and acted in a very level-headed way.”

German soldiers had always been criticized in the past for not taking robust enough action, he said. “They either flee back to their camp or they sit around crying,” said Omar. The population had gotten the impression that the Germans were working together with the Taliban, he added. Now a gang of criminals had been caught in the act, he said. (bold mine)

So damned if they do,or don’t. The Germans will almost assuredly suffer now and into the future for their involvement in Afghanistan.

In2 a Money Quote

What was the rush to pass it, then? It was not to get that money out into the economy as fast as possible. It was to get that money– and the power that goes with it– into the hands of the government. Power is what politics is all about. Thomas Sowell

In2 Compassion is a one way Street

Libya will “resist” calls from victims of past IRA attacks regards compensation. Libya is implicated in arms supplies to the terror group.

The official line is that Libya will leave any such issues to the courts. I find that laughable even if it is clearly a logical position. The fact that the former pariah state wants to up it’s international relationships you’d think a better statement at a minimum would’ve been in line.

In2 Al Qaeda Ass Bomb

But the al-Asiri case ended very differently from the al-Awfi case. Unlike al-Awfi, al-Asiri was not a genuine repentant — he was a human Trojan horse. After al-Asiri entered a small room to speak with Prince Mohammed, he activated a small improvised explosive device (IED) he had been carrying inside his anal cavity. The resulting explosion ripped al-Asiri to shreds but only lightly injured the shocked prince — the target of al-Asiri’s unsuccessful assassination attempt.

I haven’t posted this for pure ass humor. The piece from STRATFOR regards the 28 August incident is worth a read.

In2 Mr Jones Mr Jones….

Buh- Bye.

If nothing else is learned from this whole fiasco let this be something.

When you jump into the public fray you have to be honest and remember that once you say something it hangs around. Whether those words or actions come back to kiss or bite your ass is up for fate to decide.

Nothing in Van Jones history seems capable of making a rational person believe he’s innocent.He has said what he has said and one should take him on his word. Radicals whether from the Left or Right are still radicals. I don’t know if radicals of any stripe are ever going to be good for America. I do know NOW the answer is no freakin way!!

In2 All the Frays I meant to Say #6

Afghan leader H. Karzai is eagerly awaiting the results of the recent election and I dare say a number of other folks are in the same boat.

I thought this cartoon from Moreland hit the mark regards many stories concerning Afghanistan.

In2 Drug decriminalization…

I saw a  piece over at the Guardian about former Brazilian President Cardoso stating the world needs to start the liberalization of drug policy. It touches upon the failure of the drug wars and all that too.

The Guardian I imagine has a horse in this race and that’s ok but the topic is worth looking at still.

Decriminalization of some drugs may be a very good idea indeed. The wastoids that need to alter themselves are of no real worth to society so why should society fight them ? I can also see a taxation and fee revenue stream that could be used to help addicts that actually desire and deserve treatment so there’s a win win.

I would caution the Latin American nations though that believe even the greatest level of decriminalization will be of benefit to their societies. The drug lords are not just about drugs. They’re about power and even if cocaine and marijuana were suddenly over the counter commodities they would seek to control them and other things too.

Drop a Dime program to squash dissent on ObamaCare.

Media intercourse.

Obama books on middle school reading lists

I don’t know really. I was put off pretty thoroughly once I finally took it all in. I don’t want to get all conspiracy theory extremist crazy but even if you love the guy (POTUS BHO) you gots to pony up some props that this is all a little f@#$d up.

In2 Contraception Myths or just dumb British chicks ???

From BBC

A UK survey has revealed that myths about contraception may be widespread.

One in five women said they had heard of kitchen items, including bread, cling film and even chicken skin, being used as alternative barrier methods.

Others had heard food items such as kebabs, Coca-cola or crisps could be used as oral contraceptives.

The survey questioned 1,000 women aged 18 to 50 and was carried out by market research company Opinion Health, sponsored by Bayer Schering Pharma.

Wow!!!

I appreciate that having heard of something doesn’t mean you believe but it equally amazes me that those with the equipment (vagina,uterus etc.) can be so potentially ignorant.

In2 All the Frays I meant to Say #4

CITGO, which is essentially the US based arm of the Venezuela oil machine, has had a wave of ads supporting their locally owned franchises. Ummmm.

In2 All the Frays I meant to Say #1

Kilts and Haggis but this???

Obviously the release of Abdel Baset al-Megrahi struck me as a disgrace. Regards Scotland here is a snapshot of my thoughts.

The Scots take a lot of crap for their dress and food choices. They also take some pride in the devolution process. Well under no circumstance should the bonnie boys and girls be even a tad bit happy. They have been porked every which way in this deal.

Devolution is a joke when one considers #10 can make deals and hang you out to dry. Also I can’t imagine even the biggest guzzle of fine whiskey takes away the sting of being seen as an international laughingstock. Then again perhaps they’re all shattered on the stuff and can’t feel it. Or perhaps in the vain of Train Spotting fame they’re all douched out on smack. Don’t know-don’t care

I will say this though. Compassion my ass.

In2 All the Frays I meant to Say #3

Is Hugo Schizoid?

He berates Uribe as a Yankee tool and then is all kissy kissy when Uribe gets Swine Flu.

I don’t know folks. I am absolutely convinced Chavez is a narcissistic megalomaniac with streaks of paranoia. I guess he needs even more meds now.

“You can establish 70,000 Yankee bases surrounding Venezuela, but you aren’t going to beat the Bolivarian Revolution!” -Chavez

“I hope this will not affect his (overall) health, and that nobody else comes down with it,”

and

“He’ll be fine; he’s young and he exercises,” Chavez (regards Uribe and his illness)

In2 All the Frays I meant to Say #2

Clown Brown must go Down!!!

This guy is an idiot and if the Tories can’t beat him in the next election I just don’t freaking know.

Morland in the Times (UK) catches the spirit well.

That is obviously dripping with the juice from the terror release /£’s trade deal  fiasco but it goes deeper than that.

Far be it for me a, Yank across the Pond to criticize the leadership of the UK. God knows the citizens over there would never critique/ravage my leaders. OOOppps. Seriously folks I don’t give a damn what you think of the right. Give Cameron and the Tories a shot.
