Today’s Qs For O’s WH

It means they left the country we are fighting in.. for the country next door..that are supposedly ‘on our side’.

Reminds me of an old M.A.S.H. episode where the General says, “This is a press conference. The last thing we want to do is answer anyone’s questions.”

LMAO good one

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional analysts say the federal budget deficit tripled to a record $1.4 trillion for the 2009 fiscal year that ended last week.
The unprecedented flood of red ink flows from several factors, including a big drop in tax revenues due to the recession, $245 billion in emergency spending on the Wall Street bailout and the takeover of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Then there is almost $200 billion in costs from President Barack Obama’s economic stimulus bill.

Mr. Obama is deeply thinking about the “war of necessarity”, despite almost a year in office. What is often mistaken for deliberation is indecisiveness.

Yes, you aren’t kidding. The obama’s just chose some art for the white house. One piece is titled: “I think I’ll … ” by the California artist Ed Ruscha. It deals with the subject of indecision.

Speaking of actual clowns, since someone mentioned clowns, the NRCC issued a press release criticizing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for saying it would be difficult to get Democratic House members to vote for additional troops in Afghanistan. OK, fair enough. They don’t like reality. That’s par for the course. But the NRCC decided to go well beyond partisan game playing. First, they implied that since the neocon’s new favorite guy, Gen. McChrystal, says we need 40,000 more troops, civilian leaders should just jump to attention and hand over whatever he wants immediately, no questions asked, forgetting that civilians set military policy here. In addition, the neanderthal NRCC states that “taxpayers can only hope that Gen. McChrystal is able to put her (Pelosi) in her place.” Put her– the Speaker of the House who had the temerity to express the realities of her party but who has said she remains agnostic on troop levels– in her place. Eyeroll. And what place would that be, party of sexist condescension? It’s a good question given that thirty white male Republican senators opposed accountability when it comes to gang rape. They didn’t want to offend or be unfair to Halliburton, one of the largest contributors to the GOP in American history.

The unprecedented flood of red ink

makes one wonder why, for 8 long years the republicans went about so eagerly destroying the economy, and crushing the middle class.. I know that that was their intention but it’s weird to hear the ‘fringe right’ complain about deficits now..
it’s as if nothing Bush and the crime family did makes any difference and didn’t happen…
oh well.. that’s the typical republican thinking that was rejected, and why they lost

Me:
“I can get into discussing intelligence”.
Wow, I said a mouthful with that one.
Sounds like something my comrade in Kool-Aid, Alyson from the West Wing, would have said.
Nothing to see here folks, why don’t we move on to the NAMBLA nut we installed as “Safe Schools Czar”…
Bobby out.

Following the president’s inauguration, the percentage of voters who think the country is moving in the right direction moved up for several months before peaking at 40% in early May. It has fallen into the low- to mid-30s since then. It is 31% today.
All that hope–gone, all gone.

Uh, Barry. Decision Time:
KABUL – A suicide car bomber detonated his vehicle outside the Indian Embassy in the bustling center of the Afghan capital Thursday, killing 17 people in the second major attack in the city in less than a month. The Afghan Foreign Ministry hinted at Pakistani involvement — a charge Pakistan denied.

Nothing to see here folks, why don’t we move on to the NAMBLA nut we installed as “Safe Schools Czar”…
Nothing a few 2×4′s can’t fix!

Bill Ayers recently admitted to writing Dreams…people want to know.

Another silly rabbit that fell for it. No worries, a surprising number of conservative folk were duped. I mean, who could imagine that Ayers might want to have some fun at the right wing’s express by sending them off on a silly goose chase seeking proof so he can get his royalties. LOL. What I hope is that the newspapers, the MSM and critical thinking news consumers are paying attention as a few too many folks on the right showed poor judgment and a willingness to run with any story they hoped was true in order to validate the ghosters. (shaking my head.)

The Ayers writing Dreams hoax is just another indication of how desperate the ‘right’ is.
File under, ‘birthers’, ‘deathers’, indoctrination, FEMA camps, ’10thers’, ‘tea party’.

And also use your favorite internet search engine to look up what Oxley has to say about that at Financial Times “Oxley hits back at idealogues.” A quote for googling purposes: “Adamant that the only solution to the problems posed by Fannie and Freddie was their privatisation, the White House attacked the bill. Mr Greenspan also weighed in, saying that the House legislation was worse than no bill at all.
“We missed a golden opportunity that would have avoided a lot of the problems we’re facing now, if we hadn’t had such a firm ideological position at the White House and the Treasury and the Fed,” Mr Oxley says.”
Note where the ideological opposition came from. Moreover, the bill lacked a champion in the senate and an amendment was added that killed bipartisan support. Read the floor discussion that surrounded the bill. It’s available.

Let’s remember Alyson’s ideological views – they are socialist – and take her position with a grain of salt. She is by no means the authority and neither is Oxley.
Google the true cause of the housing market crash, Bush’s attempt to regulate Fannie and Freddie, and then the resulting recession. There are your facts without copying and pasting.

Inspirational single-payer success story of the day, or “This Is What Your Grandchildren Can Look Forward To”:
A plumber whose arm was left twisted grotesquely out of shape in an accident ten months ago has had an operation to correct it ‘cancelled four times’.
Torron Eeles, 50, has been left unable to work since falling down the stairs and now fears he may lose his home after being denied incapacity benefit.
The father-of-three today hit out at the NHS for the ‘unacceptable delays’, but East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust said Mr Eeles had his operation cancelled on ‘only’ two occasions on clinical safety grounds.

Fearmongering cuz you’re getting nervous about the positive CBO analysis and the strong public support for a public option?

To be clear, Oxley is relevant because he wrote the bill and the Financial Times is the Financial Times, not a mommy patriot or tea party blog.

And you must believe CNN, who fact checks a SNL skit and NY Times that admits they delayed covering the ACORN scandal…Pick and choose all you want, Alyson – the facts are there for you to “use your favorite internet search engine to look up”, to use your own quote…

I would assume that the CBO did this report under duress.. but I’m kind of a wingnut conspiracist..
