You will have to excuse if I don't take this or anything the UN posts as truth.

oh, brother. just some nice photos,
for crying in a bucket!
To show the detainee photos or not
I vote to show them.
Obama ran on the idea of a transparent administration.
Why does he now refuse to show these photos?
I know what he's said: does no good; hurts the US abroad; other motivations.
But transparent sticks with me.
Someone give the reasons not to show the photos, please.
Here's part of a current cnn.com article on the release:
======================================
Testifying before the House Judiciary Committee, Holder repeated Obama's assertion that the decision to oppose the photos' release had been made "consistent with the best interests of our troops."
Holder emphasized Obama's conclusion that making the photos public would endanger U.S. troops and have a "negative impact" on the military situation in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Obama expressed concern Wednesday that a release of the photos could "inflame anti-American opinion" and have a "chilling effect" on further investigations of detainee abuse without adding to the understanding of past abuses.
Before Obama's announcement, the Pentagon was set to release hundreds of photographs of prisoners in detention facilities in Afghanistan and Iraq by the end of the month.
====================================
I can agree with this reasoning but what happened to transparency? Is this for the national good then? Maybe I'm just skeptical after eight years of lies and obfuscations and secrecy and can't accept statements such as this. Perhaps I need more time. BTW, the troop thing I can go along with but the other----Obama has shown the world his views and he is popular in most places. Now he's hiding something another admin. did. Puzzles me.
She's not quoting FACTS
She is pulling racially charged statements out of context. He was raised in an all white family and had to sort through what being different from others meant. If you are even afraid of a black man raised by all whites, you are really beyond hope.
You are quoting Goering!!!!! YIKES!!!!! NM
SS
Limbaugh quoting Moran
You post Molly Ivins...so what's your point? The post is kinda allegorical to what you are posting tonight. You're having party while people are dead and dying.
I don't believe you are quoting the Old Testament correctly. sm
Or interpreting it correctly either. Can you cite me which passages you are referring to?
SHhhh.....you are quoting a source.....
that! Might be something reliable here.
They are quoting Nancy Pulosi from her
little speech yesterday. You are right. It doesn't take a pub to *read it and weep,* I am a registered Democrat and I have wept myself dry! I have great concern for my country and my grandchildren.
I was quoting from a Jewish website publication.
It wasn't "my statement." And it made perfect sense if you had read the article. The Gaza strip pull-out was not instigated by the settlers who were moved but by their government which is ISRAELI and is therefore JEWISH. You should read the news a little more.
You are quoting from the NATIONAL ENQUIRER! Do you remember.....
All of the stuff they printed and continue to print about Clinton. I didn't even believe it. I am sure you didn't either, but it's the old double standard. If they say something YOU want to believe, all of a sudden they are credible. What a freaking joke.
Read his book, friend....Obama is the one who said it, I was quoting HIM....
he has repeated it in numerous interviews. Thank you for the method of delivery lesson on crack and cocaine (by the way, crack IS cocaine and you can snort it). That being said, I don't think the method of delivery matters. He did cocaine (however he chose to do it, smoke or snort), he says so very openly in his book. He also drank quite heavily for awhile, he also admits drinking. I don't know how he avoided the legal consequences but that doesn't matter. He doesn't say whether he got hooked or not, or how he got un-hooked.
So please do your research before jumping on me.
That being said...I believe him when he says he doesn't do it anymore.
And I have never heard what you just posted about homosexual sex. That is a new one on me.
She is not race-baiting. She was quoting some facts from his book, his own words. sm
She is only putting information out there to try and open people's minds, given them another perspective on the "phenomenon" that is Obama. She is doing the same thing that Sam is doing in other posts on this board, giving information to be used as a reader sees fit. If you think that is race-baiting, then you need to re-think what you consider racist. JMO.
Even quoting the New Testament here will not defend the horrifying tragedy what was the Bush adminis

You really believe that you are being shown....... sm
the actual documents he signs? You really believe that the WH is going to tell the American people everything they do, why they do it and when they do it?
I've got some ocean front property in Arizona I'd love to show you.
He has shown his competency, huh? (sm)
They said on Sunday it was going to be a bad hurricane, etc.
He should be embarrassed!
You were just shown the door

Exactly, hasn't shown us one way to pay for any

We shall see. Obama has shown us NOTHING yet.

Why the spelling police have shown up! sm
I make typos all the time and so does everyone else.
Have I shown you my favorite pic of our elitist?

Those were facts. Obama has already shown he

If the big O had shown his BC a long time ago, this

The only thing Coulter has shown me...(sm)
is just how stupid some people can be.
Coulter quotes:
"I have to say I'm all for public flogging. One type of criminal that a public humiliation might work particularly well with are the juvenile delinquents, a lot of whom consider it a badge of honor to be sent to juvenile detention. And it might not be such a cool thing in the 'hood to be flogged publicly."---MSNBC 3/22/97
"God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, 'Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It's yours.'"---Hannity & Colmes, 6/20/01
"I think [women] should be armed but should not [be allowed to] vote."---Politically Incorrect, 2/26/01

Obama has never shown his official certificate.

You've shown me hope...that the next four years will be over in, like, oh.....
Yes, a start, but economic studies have shown that these will be....sm
long-term down the road, and we are sinking way too fast. I do agree with the grener approach, I am a "tree hugger" from way back, participated in some of the "no Nuke" protest, and am an active member of Save The Bay, as our state is right on the bay, almost an island, and this has been for the past two decades. I guess I am eager for O to stop catering to politics, even though I know it comes with the job, roll up the sleeves, and really get to the meat and bones of the stimulus package, this country is HUNGRY! Did you catch Lisa Ling's National Geographic docomentary on the new homeless shown on Oprah? That truly made me cry, because a decade ago my family was close to being one of them, I cry for the children, "bleeding heart Democrat" that I am at heart!
Religious "voodoo?" Science has documented and shown that....sm
life begins at conception, those cells are living, have their code, and I have seen my own children on ultrasound as early as 8 weeks (with high risk pregnancies) fully formed, moving all extremities, trying to suck their thumbs, kicking, tiny heart beating away, with everything that you or I have, only inside the womb. Now if you wish to believe that a woman can do with THAT as she wants, so be it, I still have to stand with the pro-choice crowd not because I believe in abortion or that it is okay and not murdering a human being, but because I can see the instances where a woman would be justified in her actions, and let her make her own peach and atonement with God, as we all will. Science more and more is proving out what has been in the Bible all along. I do not think that was a fair or rational characterization of "religion," and it was hurtful and inflammatory. Choose to be atheist or agnostic, Christianity is not "voodoo."
Hatred is only shown by repubs on this board. PALIN IS NOT QUALIFIED and it has nothing to do with

Wow, the vitriolic statements, insults, and downright hate being shown....sm
 on this board today (not unlike any other day, really), is amazing. Okay, we all have our ideals, our belief system, etc. But this board is a sad, tragic, IF very minute microcosm of why this country is so far in the dirt.........educated adults who will hate, insult, stamp their feet, stick out their tongues, and spew garbage rhetoric, RATHER THAN join with the country, the new president, the senate, congress, etc., and try to be part of the SOLUTION instead of the PROBLEM. We will NEVER fix this country, whether we have a democrat, republican, or independent in office, with pure hate and spite. This is a chance for a new start. Why not wait and see, why not pray for the president, teh cabinet, the Congress, and the whole nation, and try to work in our own ways for change. While we are busy hating each other, we are strengthening the real enemies out there who truly want to harm us. Everybody grow up. Both my parents went through the Great Depression, and I grew up knowing and seeing it written on their faces just how awful it was to try to live through. Instead of arguing and namecalling while the country teeters on the egde, why not TRY, why not wait to see before condemnining, why not see what each one of us, in our little lives, can do to help???
It is cold comfort to point fingers and laugh at the "other side" when both sides are falling into the abyss that is the growing national debt, growing unemployment, plunging stock market, while still mired in wars we cannot pay for. Discussing political ideologies, hopes, fears, and issues is great, pure scathing hate and animosity will insure more failure. Can you all not put our beautiful country ahead of everything else, the future of our kids and grandkids, stop childish fighting, and become part of the SOLUTION instead of the PROBLEM? Please?
