Barack Obama, our next President

Sarah Palin was the wrong choice at the wrong time. She was more or less the token female in a gender oriented race. I was somewhat disheartened myself as it seemed rather shallow and transparent on McCain's part.
However, Palin was eaten up by the MSM, chewed up, swallowed, regurgitated, chewed up some more and then spit out. It was shameful what she and her family was put through. She responded to being asked to serve her country as the VP candidate for the republican party after proving to be a very successful and tough governor in her state. Whether the country was ready for her type of "down home" rhetoric and her no-nonsense approach to governing or not is debatable. But she was and is merely a woman governor who was shamefully used and abused by the main stream media who obviously have no regard for personal integrity or common decency. The media are the ones who should be scrutinized here. Not Sarah Palin.

And that was different from the Clinton's, the bush's and the Obama's how?

She was used and abused by the Republican Party. After attacking Obama over celebrity status they tried to make her one.

You wouldn't know the difference between violating the Geneve Convention and the hole in your butt, I hate to say it but am compelled to say it anyway. Congress was briefed on a routine basis knowing full well of the advanced interrogation techniques including the three who were waterboarded. This was not a violation of the Geneva Convention. And it in no way under the the most extreme stretch of the imagination means we are barbarians. The British did much worse during World War II. Get a friggin' backbone and cultivate some common sense, man.

If water boarding is not torture, then were we wrong for convicting Japanese and German soldiers for doing it?

If water boarding is not torture, why did we sign several treaties banning it?

If water boarding is not torture, why did lawyers in the administration craft memorandums telling why the Geneva Convention and other treaties did not apply?

If water boarding is not torture, why could they not get a single Army JAG officer to agree that it was not?

If water boarding is not torture, why did we send Soldiers to prison for what occured at Abu Ghrab?

So the last occupant is still responsible for the killings of over 4,500 American Troops?

OK, I hear you.

You are as crazy as a bed bug if you don't think for one second they aren't going to torture an American any chance they can get whether we serve them tea and scones or dunk them in some water. I do not condone torture either. It's a good thing waterboarding isn't considered torture since our military has to be waterboarded just to know what it's like. Unless we torture our own military, that is. Duh!

Yes, they are going to torture Americans. Yes, they fly planes into buildings. Yes, they do a lot of bad things that SHOULD NOT BE DONE. But that is what is supposed to separate us. If you have your way, there will be no difference.

Well said.

Question: If Bush is a war criminal, why doesn't your hero, the Chosen One, put him on trial?
Answer: A war crimes trial would hasten the revolution.

He does not have to. As a treaty country, there are roughly 180 countries that can capture, hold and try bush for torture during his administration.

It is torture, and according to Carol it's okay. As long as the Republicans do it. and Carol: it's Geneva, as in Geneva, Switzerland.

There was no trial, hence no testimony. Craig plead guilty to the equivalent of a traffic ticket. He later requested a trial and was denied.
When you go to an airport, how can you know which restrooms have a "reputation for a pick up place for gay sex"?
As for the foot tapping, etc., perhaps, like most people, Craig did not know that what the cops believe is a homosexual signal.
Furthermore, the unsubstantiated testimony of a cop is worthless, or would be to me if on a jury. Cops lie, a lot.
I did not, nor did I know the homosexual implication of "tea-bagging." I still don''t.

I don't know about tea bagging either, however, regarding knowing which places are more opportune for making connections, gay people always pass that info around.

After the April 15 teabag parties, Fox -- led by Glenn Beck -- predicted the teabag movement would swell, but as round two of the teabag parties shows, the movement is actually shriveling.

Sen Cornryn of Texas was heckled at a tea party, they called him a traitor. Don't know how many people were there, maybe 4!! and probably 12 fox news trucks.

President Obama did well in Russia today.

Subject: H. R. 1388 passed

Whether you are an Obama fan, or not, EVERYONE IN THE U. S. needs to know....
Something happened... H. R. 1388 was passed yesterday, behind our backs. You may want to read about it. It wasn't mentioned on the news... just went by on the ticker tape at the bottom of the CNN screen.

Obama funds $20M in tax payer dollars to immigrate Hamas Refugees to the USA . This is the news that didn't make the headlines...
By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in "migration assistance" to the Palestinian refugees and "conflict victims" in Gaza .
The "presidential determination", which allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the United States , was signed on January 27 and appeared in the Federal Register on February 4.
Few on Capitol Hill, or in the media, took note that the order provides a free ticket replete with housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed their overwhelming support to the Islamic Resistance Movement
(Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006.
Let's review.... itemized list of some of Barack Obama's most recent actions since his inauguration:
His first call to any head of state, as president, was to Mahmoud Abbas, leader of Fatah party in the Palestinian territory.
His first one-on-one television interview with any news organization was with Al Arabia television.
His first executive order was to fund/facilitate abortion(s) not just here within the U. S., but within the world, using U. S. tax payer funds.
He ordered Guantanamo Bay closed and all military trials of detainees halted.
He ordered overseas CIA interrogation centers closed.
He withdrew all charges against the masterminds behind the USS Cole and the "terror attack" on 9/11.
Now we learn that he is allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refuges to move to, and live in, the US at American taxpayer expense.
These important, and insightful, issues are being "lost" in the blinding bail-outs and "stimulation" packages.
Doubtful? To verify this for yourself: http://www.thefederalregister.com/d.p/2009-02 ...
PLEASE PASS THIS ON... AMERICA NEEDS TO KNOW
WE are losing this country at a rapid pace. He is pushing this Socialist Agenda big time..........

What did he give away to facilitate this? Our strategic missile defense systems? A wink and a not for oil through the Caucasus?
Russia is guilty of gross human rights violations and blatant aggression in the former Soviet block countries. What is he doing other than complete capitulation on communism amd the free will of our European allies to remain free?
This guy is so naive it's dangerous, very, very dangerous.
Can we please impeach this guy before it's too late.

Figures, blame Bush, tell me what has Bush got to do with Obaman's decisions on all of that? I really think it's time President Obama started taking blame for his own decisions, the honeymoon is over as far as I'm concerned, past over!

Someone please tell me this global warming thing is all a nightmare. Here is the latest idea to cut greenhouse emissions. Talk about a slippery slope.
