Well that far lefter published a novel about Laura Bush's intimate relations and is making money off it. Don't tell Dude...he will want signed copies.....But if Bill did a honest autobiography....my bet is they would not let it into the Library of Congress from being to 'racey'.
Wish did I tell you of the 'blue dress set up' on Bill Clinton?
It went like this. The Clintons were in a hand shake line of a lot of people. Bill and Hillary. So they are working down the line of people 3 and 4 deep......and a woman dress in the famous blue dress, with sunglasses and dark shoulder length hair.....steps thru the to the front of the line to shake Bill's hand.
Now Bill has his hand extended......and sees who he is about to shake hands with......a Monica Lewisky look alike......and retrives it. That is when the photo is taken. In the background you can see Hillary, with this look of......OH MY GOD, not her.
They never shook hands.......but I bet they began to scan the crouds for blue dresses after that day.
Good point, I think that he fired over 100 of both parties. Any one that passed a brief with the words 'Monica Lewisky' in the title was finding a pink slip in 24 hours.
Sure I have opinion on it. He (Rove) is enacting executive priviledge to the snub the hearing. And GWB is supporting him doing so. To keep him from going thru a Dem witch hunt in this Congressional Investigation.
Follow this. Laying these 9 Dem attroney off from the DoJ was at first a internal question of DoJ, yes? Then it gets to the White House. They White House passes a memo around....to a number of people....who knows how many and who? They say axe em.
DoJ sharpens an axe just like at Thanksgiving time. And with nine pink slips.....9 attroneys are looking for work in the public sector....where they can make more money than at DoJ. Seems to me that they gave them all career boasts sending them into the public sector.
But these are special, elitist and entitled attroneys. You cannot fire them.
They are D E M O C R A T. And there is a political card to be played here. That is why fire Democrats? Why pick on poor Democrats? I wish for you to remember what was going on at the time in DC. The Iraq war flip-flopping was going on.
I think that this was a first response on how to deal with it. To show the Dems that some bad things can happen to Dems that are in Gov't service, if you go this route. The way it turned out....you are...lucky to have a Dem employed in the Federal Gov't.
You are lucky, they did not carrying the axe to every Federal Gov't Agency looking for Dem necks to put on the chopping block.jmo Gobble Gobble.
Skybow...the bash was not on Obama....but on his supporters and thier use of the race cards. See, you elect a man or person to the office of the Presiendcy, his family, and his team of supporters. They all get to represent the Country while he is office.
Had Jesse Jackson comments been made aobut McCain.....or his issue....and was the poltical hot topic of the day.....I would have addressed it as such. But I have been adding those little race cards that have been thown out during the campaign....adding them up....to see how and when they were thrown...that is what analysis do:-) seeing what effect they had in the primaries.
Now see them being throw again....against McCain and his push to take this into issues......so time to lay it out there.....see here is my theory. That Hillary and her camp led such a campaign to avoid the race card.....that it was Barak's camp that was playing them.
If Barak camp.....not so mich Barak himself....wishes to play them. They are extablishing a pattern and a habit in doing so. That would carry over into his Presidency....and in my opinion harm the country in these international areas.
Barak has not been able to get his supporter not to make it about race, as with the recent Jackson's comments. His just taking the office is not going to get them to end it either. It is their key focal point issue and area. By the time they get finished with 4-8 years in the Presidency, America will be known globally for exporting the race cards. jmo
I am listening to Gretta talk with Jesse Jackson on the her Fox show. That is exactly what this was.....a created chance to support Barak in the Media.....
Jackson has criticised McCain and GWB. The Iraq war, and the foreign policy. Saying Barak has the right direction, that he is popular in foreign countries, and was right on the Iraq war......
pure media grapping.....this was a stunt....and staged
We had a shin kicker on the other Obama thread about Isreal and Iran......and he has been quiet since. I answered one his posts earlier today.....but have not seen him
A take on Jesse Jackson on his Obama comments of today.
What better way to get media time? Slip some negative words on Barak.....then you get several hours of media time to apologize and to explain your support for Obama and his positions. Being played by all the majors......
a lot of free advertising for Obama......showing him to be man that can forgive......Jackson is killing the elitest idea of Obama......everyone will say.....Of course Barak does not 'talk down' on black people.....
this stinks....Jesse Jackson knew exactly what he saying with the mike on.......knew that is was being recorded....and video as they sat there. They other man sitting with him.........cannot believe what he is hearing....watch his face as Jackson is talking.
This is issue killing (elitism) and was fabricated by Jackson.
Jackson said....Obama was talking down to blacks (2Xs) also that he would like to cut his n__ __s off.
GWB wins in Iraq, get his interceptors placed in Europe, has a W in North Korea, and does the pin of Iran on its nucs......McCain might consider him for his VP.....his rating with that happen will be hitting a 45.......
:-) Thanksgiving and Christmas are usually two time per year two many for in laws.
Code Pink did a protest at Congressman Ackerman at his houseboat on the Potomac...to protest sanctions on Iran. They were in canoes and rafts....with loud speacker to wake with a protest at 7 AM in the morning......
OK....fill me in....why does Code Pink not like sanctions on Iran? LOL.....sanctions keep bullets from flying......
Obama heads to Iraq next week. Right in the middle of the security agreement negotiations. They should let him sit in on a session of them.....he would have his eyes opened some.
They also should take him around to some places like Najaf, and Trikrit, and Sadyr City.......just to give him a feel for things.
I would enjoy to sit on his meeting with General Betris.
A few thing going on with Obama campaign..........
1) Far left are asking for refunds from their campaign donations to Obama for his move to the center. I think that the check is in the mail will likely be the response that they get from Obama staffers.
2) Jesse Jackson took himself off the Obama VP list today with some comments......that were recorded on a mike at Fox. The comments have already been apologised for....guess the Black Christian Community has some trouble with Obama as well.
3)I got a chance to read up on Obama staff. Three of the top four are all from Chicago. They made contact with him when he was running for the Senate. Axelrode, Jarrett, and one other is from Chi town. Grinn is a political from DC.
4) Obama says that the US should have have direct talks with Iran to offer the stick and the carrot. To them after the missile launch. That we should also have multi national groups to sanction and talk with Iran. Talk of covering your position? He want direct talks AND multinational talks with the worlds leading terrorist supporting country in the world.
Look.....as commander in chief....and ....chief executive officer.....you get make a choice on your international negotiations. You either let the others into them OR you keep them one on one. He choice which....but you need to pick the right one. Shoting gunning it makes it confusing and gives wiggle run.
That is what I meant by a 'grain of salt' at the beginning. Once you know thier political leaning of a show host(s)....then you know how they are going approach the guest and the topic.
All these new shows and cable companies are trying for market share and for viewers.......is the name of the game to getting advertisers.
I have fun with it, Skybow....the great American political show is a once a event every 4 years. One of the best specticles on the planet. Getting facts and honest opinion is one thing. Finding the character of the canidate and the heart of what he/she stands for is another.
This is like being tested by fire for both McCain and Obama. Both are finding more inside them, than they ever thought was there. Win or lose, both will be better men once this is over with.jmo
I take it with a grain salt...usually on a cheeseburger with all the trimming..Skybow. I know both Hannity and Colmes histories. That they are matched to make sparks. They place a guest between them and never let him focus on a subject. That way they keep him/her off balance and maybe making some contriversial comment.
It is a vast amount of trivia and insight from months of watching Indy and Dude duel it out in Obama threads. Kind of like reading Sunday color comics.....only 24/7 since the Political season began.
I hear that Hillary camp has started impeachment proceeding against him for winning the nomination. Also she is beginning a Hillary in 2012 fund drive presently.
The US and Check Republic just signed a interceptor agreement. For radar sites.
Russia is saying that it will respond with a military operation on them.
Things are getting interesting. And more complex.
With China, France, Germany, UK, and the US coming to agreement to place more sanction on Iran and it nuclear programs.
The question becomes when do they stop with them and go to other measures. American firms still trade with Iran....GE...being one and many other smallers one.
If they stop buying Iran oil becomes the shortest and fastest way to solving the problem. Iran without oil sales is a Iran that is nearing bankuptcy. Of course that means less oil to the global economy.
Once Iran steps away from the nuclear issue, I suspect that the interceptors can be removed from Europe. So why is Russia really upset with 10 interceptors covering Europe from Iran's nucs?
One of those $64,000 dollar questions. To hear the Russians, they will blunt their first strike option of Europe. Really? Russia has some 500 Topol-Ms, most with a MIRV (multi nuclear warhead)......so blunting a first strike launch of these is.....a little like General Custer being down to his last bullet at Little Big Horn.
So I come to conclusion. That Russia wants this Iranian nuclear threat over Europe. Or Russia is being forced to take this position.
Isreal is still the wild card...the loose cannon...er the loose missile.....er the loose fighter bomber.....you get the drift. That little 120 plane sortie to Greece was not intended to be a stealthy one. Radars from Turkey to and Cyprus all had them painted. Isreal wanted everyone in the region to know that they were flying that day.
Did you know that Isreal is very creative and innovative? The F-16 is a short range intercept fighter.....they added confromal fuel tanks to it hull to extend the range. Having learned to do that......I wonder if they added conformal fuel tanks to thier cruise missile? Extending thier range as well.
This is what military innovation is about. It is always the hidden card up a country's sleeve, that you don't know if and when or how it can be played. Russia played a card in giving Iran reactor and weapons systems......for a long time.....12 year or more now.......Isreal has been thinking this for a long time.
Guys honestly, if McCain had a Constitutional attroney on his staff.......he can find so many positions that Barak is getting ready to disregard, avoid, undermine,dance around, and just break.......that Jan 21st (after the oath).....he could begin impeachment proceeding on him.
To get it straight from the 'horses mouth'. Check his website and his recent media releases. Likely what he saying......I would have youth do a mandatory 2-3 year of government serivce....to the peace corp, ccc, national forestry service etc.......I wonder how many Senator and Congress's sons and daughters are in line for planting trees for 3 years after college?
I bet this flies in Congress about as well and lame duck in pack of wolves.
I had not heard of the mandatory service for High School/College students but it fits.. Remember his graduation speech when he substituted for Ted Kennedy? He said don't go for the high paying job, but go for the job of service? like the peace corp etc?
A far left doctine is that youth should work for the state. Ala like the China's Student's revolution of the late 60 and 70s. Mao had given them all these little red books with sayings and quotations of service to the state in them.
They would go around and anytime they saw something out of line with 'doctrine' they denounce it and site the little red book. They were turning in thier parents for reeducation.....and even placing them into jail...all over this concept of social justice and service to the state.
Remind you of the young religious police in Saudi Arabia and other Islamic countries today? They do the same thing only using the Koran as the source.
With Obama's draw to the youth of the country.....he might have his youth Student revolution. As he swings to the center....he has to find ways to keep his far left base....suspect that is what this is about.
Hannity and Colmes last night. They were talking of Obama, being a man of headlines but with no story underneath them to go with them. That he can go out a make the croud like the main message, but when it comes to the details of how to make the message occur.....not there.
They got a good point. How do you have a modern country with out energy and energy production systems? Obama says.....let us study the problems and technologies more.....that is what we have been doing for the last 20 years? Gov't has spent billions in research. The researders says this is what can be done.
Obama is saying....well we can research it some more.....it might change, you never know (right Dude?). In the mean time, more US dollars (at $4 per gallon) go to OPEC and the middle east. This being part of the Obama keep them our friend plan and not upset the world to much plan while I am President. I might have to fight a war if we do. Hate to inform you, Senator. But it goes with the Oval Office.
