I have a question and I need a damn answer from the Obama administration. Who the hell is Leon Panetta and why the hell does he get to head the CIA? You’d think that in a time of global unrest Obama would use those elephant ears of his and listen to the war drums over in Russia, Iran, Palestine and choose someone who carries at least a little intelligence experience.
I commend him on keeping Gates as defense secretary and while his first pick for the head of the CIA was not perfect it was still a lot better than this idiot who we’re gonna have to trust. Its funny that everyone blamed Bush for not finding WMD’s (when they were obviously moved from Iraq to Syria) and while other things are to blame the major blame goes to faulty evidence by the CIA. You’d think Obama would take heed and make sure he gets someone who can at least read a classified document and know how to shut up his mouth and when to open it.
Well I’m not sorry for the morons who voted this joker in office. Your pay day has come.

This sounds interesting, former eBay CEO Meg Whitman plans to run for the highest office in the California government come 2010. Due to term limits on Arnald’s reign as the Governator Med Witman the 52-year-old Republican will be open to fight for the office in the coming elections.
While she has not announced it formally, due to the fact that she decided over the holiday season, she does plan to make the announcement official in a 4-6 weeks.
Witman stepped down from the boards of eBay, Procter & Gamble Co. and DreamWorks SKG last week. She also retired after 10 years at the helm of eBay. A billionaire, she retains a 2 percent ownership stake in the online auction company.
“Meg’s vision and leadership and her passion for the eBay community have helped create economic opportunity for millions of people worldwide and enabled us to build a dynamic portfolio of leading online businesses,” he said. “Her experience and insights will be missed, but Meg will always be a part of the eBay family, and we wish her the very best.” - John Donahoe - eBay President and Chief Executive
Mrs. Whitman is not a stranger to politics as she worked on both the Mitt Romney and John McCain campaign. Whitman has known Romney for quite a few years as they worked at Bain and Co. a global consulting firm before Romney left and started the company (Bain Capital) the venture capital firm that gave him his millions.

In just another case of how brazen Blagojevich is, he has gone through with appointing General Roland Burris to take Barack Obama’s seat in the senate. Just how far will this man go? And I expected better General Roland Burris. I don’t see what the hell is wrong with the politics in my home state.
I would say more but I’ll let the General himself explain why he has accepted the seat even though the guy who has appointed him is under federal investigation for corruption charges.

In case you’re wondering exactly why I was so against the original $700 billion bailout package let me just inform you now that the government has extracted over $7 trillion from tax payers to keep the auto companies in business and all the other pork barrel spending projects. Not only that but all the environmental whackjobs are asking Barack the magic Negroto set aside $10 billion to install solar panels on government buildings and install some type of alternative energy system in two government buildings.
To make matters worse every state ruled by liberal politicians are asking for billions of dollars to bail them out except for Florida (which is Republican), California (thanks to the Govornator) and New York (NYC) who has decided to raise the taxes on its families $4,000.
I knew this was coming, and that’s why I have recently come to the philosophy that unless we revolt against our corrupt politicians we will never be the same.

Obama may leave office as being one of the greatest President’s of all time (I’m hoping that will be the case) but there is one thing people need to get straight; Obama is not, and I repeat, NOT Abraham Lincoln.
When Lincoln came to Washington he was an outsider and many claim Obama is an outsider also. The reason why this cannot be true is within the year or so that his name has shot up to fame Obama has chosen some of the most corrupt people in Washington to be his aides and advisors.
Most importantly just because he is a lawyer and Lincoln was does not make them equal. May I remind you that Clinton was a lawyer before he moved into the White House (need I say more). More importantly Lincoln was driven by a moral compass, there is nothing moral about having connections to terrorists or those who preach hate from their church pulpits or worse a wife who hates the US.
I’m not saying Obama is an exception to Washington politics. All I’m saying is that he cannot be compaired to Abraham Lincoln.

Say what you will but I already warned you that I really don’t have anything nice to say about any politician. So my following words should be no surprise. Obama is form the Chicago machine and although the days of Al Capone are long gone the system still runs the same way. From Blagojevich all the way down, sad to say but my home state is pretty darn corrupt in the area of politics.
Yet Obama sees teh need to go back there for all his job postings. Please tell me why Arne Duncan is so good for education? Why not pick someone like Michelle Rhee? I’m telling you, for a candidate who is all about change, Obama is sure not shacking things up when it comes to his cabinet. Almost every single person in his cabinet has questionable associations or connections.

I don’t know how long it would take them to do this but finally they are. The Illinois house is currently starting the impeachment process of disgraced governor Blagojevich.
Something tells me that the reason why this investigation was busted so early is because there were those in Obama’s cabinet who were in on the deal and so to prevent their fall Blagojevich took it. As the saying goes, “some die so others may live.

Its obvious that the Democrats get into just as much scandals as the Republican’s but its quite odd when you hear that the scandal involves a state governor and president-elect. Worse of all it involves the guy who is supposed to bring “change” to America. He sure has brought change alright, first president-elect to be involved in more scandals than most President’s are in their lifetime (unless you’re Clinton for that matter) Nixon did way less and was almost empeached and Reagon had a one minor mishap and that was blown up.
I’m sure you guys have all heard what happened to Rod Blagojevich. But I bet you haven’t heard about the Obama connection (special thanks goes to the media for this one). Obama has said in no uncertain terms that he has no connection with him and the scandal laden governor. Yet papers and transcripts say other wise.
Obama endorsed Blagojevich in 2002
Blagojevich returned the favor in 2004
But what is most incriminating is the words from Obama’s senior administration adviser on David Axelrod on November 23.
I know he’s talked to the governor and there are a whole range of names many of which have surfaced, and I think he has a fondness for a lot of them.
I’m not saying Obama has done anything wrong here but I’d like to see what those talks were that he and Blagojevich carried on behind closed doors (or secure phone lines).

Its not like this is odd news, Sarah Palin actually came away with a win when she ran opposite McCain a few months ago. The reason why is although she lost she revitalized the Republican base. Now that’s not to say there are not others who wouldn’t be interested in picking up where she left off but somehow I think Palin is going to be a major deciding factor in 2012.
Among those vying for the nomination in 2012 is Mitt Romney, Palin (of course), Huckabee, Newt and of course Bobby (from Louisiana). Personally I believe that the perfect ticket for 2012 (on the Republican side) is a Romney/Palin ticket. That’s not to say the others aren’t good but those have the best chance against a political machine such as Obama.
We’ll just have to see but I have a gut feeling that Palin is no where near over. What do you think?

There is not much that I agree with when it comes to marxism or any other radical social structure, but when it comes to the strongest surviving I think its something we should apply to economics. Here is the idea, half the companies that are started fail and many of those that survive are plauged with serious problems, you know why an economic slowdown is good? It causes the weaker companies to either go down or be bought out, thus freeing up the markets (Wallstreet, credit companies) to do business with other companies.
Now alot of you may think that its harsh to allow such a big company like GM or Ford file for bankruptcy, but please tell me, do you think that they will have the $25+ billion to pay back to the goverment that they want to borrow. Its a known fact that the major problem with Detroit is the damn unions. And the day GM or Ford cannot pay off their loans all the money they owe the government will be turned over to the Unions to further destroy the crisis.
ake a note form the Japanese, close every plant you have in the US and start afresh, it costs Toyota half the price to manufacture one truck or van versus Gm or Ford. Secondly bar unions out of your company, Wal-Mart did that succesfully (they even closed down a store and fired all the workers when they were getting too friendly with the above), and last buy not least don’t ask American’s to be patriotic and buy your crap cars. Do what Ford did, start making them better than the Japanese. The day they do that is the day they will no longer need Uncle Sam’s help.
