My problem is not so much with raising the debt ceiling some. I think that Bachmann is being to inflexible here. My problem is who would acquires the debt. China.
Why do we want China more in our affairs?
The Dalia Lama comes to Washington....to represent the Tibetian. China is nearly screaming at President Obama that he cannot have a meeting with him. What give them that option, is the amount of debt they own and our BOP with them.
The President does have the meeting the Dalia Lama. But it is under the 'protest of China'. Sending shock waves thru the economy and geo politics of the world.
Now if they add to this debt ceiling increase. That certain government parties around the world....China and others were not approved for to acquire the debt.....more would be approving it.
There are plenty of free enterprise and democratic supporting debt buyers that will acquire the debt in the world. Just place a limiting clause in the debt ceiling bill to keep China, Venezula, Cuba, NKorea, Iran from acquiring it.
Iran is saying it knocked down a US UAV over its nuclear site near Qom, Iran. Also said it has been showing Russians the parts of earlier US UAV knock downs.
We let em shoot at the slow one with big radar signatures. Just to get a idea of their anti air missile abilitiies. Let em try em on a UCAV sometime. UCAV are stealthy little flying wings that don't have a radar signature.
Why would our friendly Russian allies.....want to see the parts and systems of American downed UAVs? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Just a thought here. Because DoD is not letting them close enough to see the flying ones......
Seems like the Gang of 6 (actually is 7 in the group) in the Senate is getting ready to place a compromise Budget/Debt ceiling bill in Congress.
President Obama applauded the work of the Gang of 6. All American Tax payers went....... and . While in the Congress, the REP passed a debt cutting bill that took trillions out of the future government budgets. To which the American tax payers were going and .
While Moody has seen the 'back up debt budget plan' and said it is not enough to keep the bond rating from being revalued down. Moody is becoming REP Paul's close friend.
Americans have a love/hate relationship going on with their government at present. We cannot live with them and we cannot live without them. That keeps us divided on the real solutions to having a better government and country.

Atlantis makes its last trip home today. A safe one is hoped by all. And the end of the Space Shuttle comes. All good things have to come to a end. Surely if this country has done one thing right in the last 20 years, it was the Shuttle Program. Even with its two deadly accidents. It has shown the way of how man can conquer space in the future.
100s of astronauts (both US and foreign) used the Shuttles for rides into space. But the unemployment line of Astronauts grows with our failing economy and the close of the manned Shuttle program. A decade ago, there were 134 in the US astronaut corp. Today the number is 64 and shrinking.
Space is a hostile environment. It is unforgiving. You can have a functioning green lighted vehicle one moment. The next a flying death trap that is loosing air like a balloon. Just pass thru a storm of micro metrorites or get hit with a dose of EMPs from solar flares.
NASA turns to the Russians....who are very happy to see the Shuttle in museums and on the ground. To lift astronauts to the Space Station on NASA contracts. And NASA turns to private commercial contractors to fly to fly the future unmanned satellite missions. Basically leaving the country without a government space program.
NASA becomes a manager of lift contractors and a travel agent to acquire the plane tickets to send US Astronauts to Russia. KSC becomes museum of past space glories that in time will be eclipsed by foreign parties that are going to the Moon and Mars.
The question is why?
Why end the countries best known program that has lead to more innovation that all the other Federal government agencies combined?
Did not NASA bring the country great pride and recognition with the lunar landing? Sure it did. Were did NASA fail? In a poor safety record? It had accidents but each was throughly investigated, corrections made and future flights made safer.
Is it only money that keep us grounded to look at the stars? Rather than to being with the stars and headed into deep Solar space of the planets? With the 3.5 trillion that this government has spent in the last years, that is not the reason. NASA program were billion dollar programs.
Is it that NASA did not develop a new launch system? Aries/ Constellation flew. One time the administraion let it fly into space. It operated perfectly.
While most men and women sit at home listening to patriotic music, the brave words of earth bound reporters and view the stellar achievements of NASA operations. A handful of Americans touched the starry heights and knew the face of God with the NASA manned programs.
NASA's end is a lack of will in Washington. Mainly in the White House.

How do you expect a Secondhander like him being impressed by Achievement?
Seem like Mohammed Omar might be dead. The Taliban are denying the net report. But Omar has not made any public statement to the effect. Maybe the Afghan intelligence that he had been wounded and take to Pakistan is the real deal.
The other piece of this, is some net hackers intruded into the Taliban website. So they might be the rumor starters his death.
I wonder what the Taliban punishment for hacking into a website is? Cutting off the hacker's fingers? So they cannot type? Think about other many ways to imput a computer......and you can see were this can leads for future hackers running into problems with the Taliban. It will make William Wallace's quartering look good.:-)
Or maybe just the White House did it. President Obama up late one night. In the Oval office. Decided to visit the Taliban website on his blackberry? He said to self....well I got bin Laden. Now what do I have to do? Entering the Taliban website, under his UK code name....Smart Alec ...he adds a @ Taliban.Net to it.
So his new net moniker is "Smart Alec @ Taliban.Net"
Sure enough the site lets him in with the pass phrase......."One down and 20 to go"..... (Penatta said we need to get 20 more to have the war on terrorism in our grasp).
Intruding behind the enemy line, the President slowly and cautiously moves ahead on his blackberry..... he finds intell on the Taliban and alQeada stored deep on the servers hard drives. Like the CIA and NSA have not been here since the thumb drives and computers taking at bin Laden's compound...
Finally the President reaches the nerve center of the Taliban computer systems. Kind of reminds you of the movie "Matrix". Were he find several dozen Taliban computer genius attempting to bring down the US. They are led by the American Taliban Paul Ghadan.
Realizing that the fate of the country and the free world lie in his hands.......oh my God..........what did we do in 2008? The President coyly send is message that Omar is dead and leaves the a nasty virus to disrupt this Taliban plan to fail the country and west.
While there he leaves the following message. If you can figure out the virus that is attacking your computers....blame Robert Murdock and the not the President of the United States. I am a friend of all.

COMPTON (CBS) — The Compton City Council has diverted a potential government shutdown by approving a budget Tuesday night that calls for massive layoffs.
The new budget would require the city to slash 30 percent of its workforce.
California is learning to live within it's means. I'm glad Jvaski's not the mayor there.
