black people saying how wonderful it was that we now have a black president.  I saw pre-election clips of black people saying it was time we elected a black president - one would assume that's how they voted.  I overheard conversations in public to the same effect.  I saw folks begging royal favors (a house, a higher hourly wage) of Obama at a town meeting. I saw a woman-on-the-street interview of an African American woman saying Obama was going to pay her mortgage and fuel her car 'If I help him, he'll help me.'   Is it politically incorrect to comment on these facts? 

a scathing article on how embarassed they were by Sarah Palin's (I ask incredibly stupid or arrogant?) comments on her being cleared of the the Troopergate charges!!  What a megalomaniac that woman is . . . very scary!!

Excerpts from article Scripps Howard News.  Can't link to it, could not find it on line. 

It's a new president, a new era, but maybe we can salvage something from the Bush-bashing days gone by, namely some of the political catchphrases that have updated meanings in our altered circumstances.  You begin to see their utility when you look at how critics worried (including most all Democrats and of course, our new president...my words, not article words) that President Bush was *sacrificing our liberty for security,* and then ask whether President Obama and the Democrats aren't aiming to sacrifice liberty (and free speech I might add) for different kinds of security.  They are.  The most obvious example is the eagerness to sacrifice free speech ont eh radio by reimposing the so-called Fairness Doctrine (fair...yeah right...Democrat version of fair...you are entitled to free speech ONLY if we like what you say, you always agree with us and never say negative things about us..lol).    Then there's the effort for enhanced electoral security.  Obama and the Democrats are in synch with a scheme to sacrifice the liberty of workers to use secret ballots in elections whether to have a union.  All kinds of commercial liberties might be denied as Obama surveys his options on keeping the market in tow, revising energy policies and combating greenhouse gases.  There's been talk of nationalizing banks.  And to give us security from dependence on foreign oil, Obama plans to deprive the auto industry of building the kind of cars consumers want.  It's a move that could do severe hurt to an alread damaged industry to no sure-fire avail.

Another catchphrase employed against Bush was that he had no *exit strategy* to get us out of the war in Iraq.  A genuine fear is that Obama administration and the Federal Reserve have no *exit strategy* to get us out of a spending and money-printing spree that could help stick us with a 1.7 trillion deficit in 2009, leading to a collapsed dollar, cause a doubling of taxes and, down the road, lead to runaway inflation and even worse, interminable economic crisis and devastating decline as a prosperous world power.  Especially considering that we are faced with trillions of dollars in unfunded liabilities for Medicare and Social Security and that the bill starts coming due in relatively few years.  It's hard to see how we are going extract ourselves from the consequences of this.  We need a plan, or at the very least, an explanation of how we avoid disaster.  I have not heard any (me either!!). 

Finally, it was repeatedly said of Bush that he made up the well-founded if finally incorrect stories about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction and thereby *lied us into a war.* Now there are people who are contending that Obama is using the moment's high anxiety to "lie us into socialism" (BINGO!).  It's said, for example, the stimulus package will do more to create a welfare state than to arouse the economy (so far the billions thrown at it have done little), and when you put this together with regulatory overkill now being plotted, we'll have a centralized, government-controlled economic system that routinely robs from Peter to pay Paul.  The recently passed House bill is loaded with evidence for this thesis...billions upon billions of wealth-transferring programs that address this crisis about as much as a sneeze. 

No one wants, or should want, to subject Obama to what Bush faced, criticism that was sometimes unfair to the point of calumny.  But there is too much at risk for us to all hold hands and sing kumbaya.  We need to vigorously debate, and some of the phrases used ad infinitum in the Bush years can help us put some very real issues into sharper focus.

All that being said in the article....why are Democrats not asking Obama the tough questions like they asked Bush?  Why are the people on this board not asking Obama the tough questions?  Oh...wait....what AM I thinking???   The great O has spoken...and that's all they need.

The cartoonist and the Editor are not teenagers, nor naive.  They knew full well the insinuation of monkeys, primates, and the interpretation it would have on a nation that went through a very troubled period. 

...overseer of the TARP Program.  Though it's pretty funny, it's also very informative and explained in a way that most people can "get," and I highly recommend it to those who are interested.

It's a two-part video, and I believe it's worth watching, though, unfortunately, some people will probably criticize it without even bothering to watch it in its entirety).

NEW YORK To mark what it called the 1000 Days of the Iraq war, the London daily The Independent offered extensive coverage today, featuring a by-the-numbers approach.

Here are some of their calculations:

$204.4 billion: The cost to the U.S of the war so far.

2,339: Allied troops killed

15,955: US troops wounded in action

98: U.K troops killed

30,000 : Estimated Iraqi civilian deaths

0: Number of WMDs found

66: Journalists killed in Iraq.

63: Journalists killed during Vietnam war

8: per cent of Iraqi children suffering acute malnutrition

53,470: Iraqi insurgents killed

67: per cent Iraqis who feel less secure because of occupation

$343: Average monthly salary for an Iraqi soldier. Average monthly salary for an American soldier in Iraq: $4,160.75

5: foreign civilians kidnapped per month

47: per cent Iraqis who never have enough electricity

20: casualties per month from unexploded mines

25-40: per cent Estimated unemployment rate, Nov 2005

251: Foreigners kidnapped

70: per cent of Iraqi's whose sewage system rarely works

183,000: British and American troops are still in action in Iraq.

13,000: from other nations

90: Daily attacks by insurgents in Nov '05. In Jun '03: 8

60-80: per cent Iraqis who are strongly opposed to presence of coalition troops

*
In an accompanying piece from Baghdad, the newspaper's Patrick Cockburn adds one more stat: A BBC poll yesterday showed that half of the Iraqis questioned say that Iraq needs a strong leader--while only 28 per cent cited democracy as a priority.

Iraqis are cynical about their political leaders, Cockburn writes. The election results are likely to show that the great majority of Iraqis will vote along ethnic or religious lines as Shia, Sunni or Kurds. The country is turning from a unitary state into a confederation.

There is no sign yet of the thousand-day war ending. Every month up to a thousand fresh corpses arrive at the mortuary in Baghdad. A new Iraq is emerging but it is already drenched in blood.

I am looking forward to watching this interview because I am truly interested in hearing what this man has to say.

I can recall as a child growing up to the tune of We have to fight Vietnam because the Communists want to take over the world.  During those times, the worst thing a person could be called in the USA was a Communist. 

It seems to me these days the USA is the one that wants to take over the world.  It has no respect for any government that cares about its poor people or even America's poor, for that matter.  (For example, Chavez tried to provide cheap oil to the poor last winter while Bush didn't care if poor Americans froze to death.)  Any country that removes the profit incentive from medicine or education for its citizens is a terrorist nation in Bush's eyes.  We're quickly approaching the day when most of us will be poor as the middle class continues to disintegrate before our eyes.

I am suspect of everyone Bush labels as terrorist these days, and I want to hear both sides.  Bush refuses to sit down diplomatically and listen to what Ahmadinejad has to say, so I'm grateful that Mike Wallace took the time to do so.

He is a theology professor and member of Scholars for 911 Truth (one of those on the fringe loonies they keep telling you about - you will see he is not).

Check out Tucker's new look (I am LMAO).  He is not wearing his trademark bow tie, and looks like he set his hair with curlers.

the scenes of the candidate that has been romanced by the mainstream media for so long.  Very insightful.  Thanks for posting.

BTW:  Any bashers out there, flame away, but I won't respond.  You guys are despicable lately.  All you want to do is snuff out those not on your bandwagon, and I ain't getting into it with you because I have better things to do with my time.  I was pretty interested in your guy too, at first, but the more I learn about him and his policies, as well as who he is as a person, the more educated of a voter I am to know that he is not the right candidate to lead this country.  Try watching this video - it just might make you think twice.  And, no, I am not into FEAR tactics, just FACTS. 

As an American, I wish all of my fellow American MTs a great day!

There was a video of the reporter asking the people and that was the answers they gave. I can't remember the station, but I don't think it was Fox.

pretty clearly showed MO initiating the contact, and QE slightly shying back, before stopping. 

There is an endearing story told about Queen Elizabeth.  A dinner guest unfamiliar with the custom mistook his finger bowl for soup, picked up a spoon and started to eat it.  QE, also picked up her spoon and began to eat hers. 

Moral:  It wasn't really soup.  The guy was still an oaf.  The queen was simply being gracious.

or don't if you want to keep spreading lies. Now he's trying to blame his own words on saying he was using liberal lingo.

I found it very interesting, and you're right, he's yet to get it wrong.

Whether you like him or not, this bush video clip is hilarious.

It appears the video that is the subject of this post was pulled from YouTube after Warner Music filed a copyright infringement claim against its producer.  Hopefully, it will reappear soon with no music or different music.  We’ll see.  In lieu of the video, the links that appear below this graphic are well worth your time to review, so scroll down now…

Below are links to news sources cited throughout the video shown in the order in which they appeared in the video:

The video was much better and the music was good.  It sucks they took it off, but at least here are the links that this person used to make the video.

Found interview with REAL PEOPLE about this.  Click link below for story, then video next to story.  I had a hard time getting vid to play, but viewed another story's video then went back to this one and it worked.

The FBI is investigating and Obama's camp had no comment.

I didn't take too kindly to it. I debated opening it, but I did. Another O supporter who doesn't look at the facts.
