I saw this last night. It is scheduled to be on again today, Saturday and Sunday. This does a great job of explaining how Wall Street's greed not only messed up the USA but also other countries as well. This is a great show. Would highly recommend it.

"house negro"
In the days of slavery there were "house negroes" and "field negroes" -- "house" negro meant you worked in the house as butler or cook or whatever. "Field negro" worked in the field. "House negro" was theoretically the "upper class" of slavery, relatively privileged, closer to the masters, etc. etc. But still a slave.
Below is a link to Malcolm X speaking on the subject.
Al Qaeda calls Obama a "house negro" harder to recruit
Bush made it easier for AL Qaeda and Obama is making it harder. That says a lot.
With all those cards he is playing.........sm
it is easy to see why he is not playing with a full deck of cards.
Well, she's definitely laying all of the cards on the table.
And I think he should and WILL someday have his accountability moment. I don't think the US should have invaded Iraq and we wouldn't be having this conversation today. But the fact remains, if we pullout and bring troops home before we stabilize Iraq it will mean more trouble for the US in the long run. We have to finish what Bush has started.
Get Ready to Pay off your credit cards
The government is looking into buying some banks instead of subprime mortgages. They are going to need some capital. All ready to pay up?

Investigate credit cards donations to your heart's content.
Hamas information?
Excellent idea. I'm also charging up my cards, so I hope you bail me out! SM
But wait. If I bail you out and you bail me out and we bail out AIG and the government bails out mortgage-skippers and China bails out the US and...somebody tell me again, where does all this money come from? It's all so confusing.
This person was talking about the 2000 debit cards and calling them handouts...sm
Now is not the time to be talking about handups in the midst of a national disaster like the one in NO. In a time like this it is too late for that and inappropriate. But enlighten me, what kind of handup has the republican party offered the displaced NO citizens?
These people NEED HANDOUTS AND YESTERDAY, until they can regain some type of normal existence and then handups would be good. Some people can't stand to see a person get anything. I've learned that's just how some people are. Even though they are cush in front of their computers posting away, they think if I'm not getting 2000 dollars from the government neither should they. And then there's the, I got mine croud. They feel that these people should have educated themselves, worked harder and they wouldn't be in this position, so let em' stay in the astrodome until they can figure something out.
I don't agree and think these compasionate conservative Christians who think this way should ask themselves WWJD?
