The Question? Where were they during the eight years of the George Bush
Cheney administration.
Where was all the righteousness and patriotism during this period.
Or was it that the country was during so good that there was no need
for this Tea Party activism, but now they have convinced themselves that
President Obama who must be stopped at all cost didn't just inherit this
America and all it's problems but created it.
This has nothing to do with political dissent but smells only of bigotry, hate
mongering and a form of Nazism.
Sarah Palin on Twitter in her outrageous statement "Commonsense
Conservatives & Lovers of America Don't Retreat, Instead-Reload"
So it seems according to her anyone on the other side of the debate of health
care is not such a good American as she is...
Then there are the Republican strategist who speak on the issue as if
they are the voice for the whole of the country.
Unfortunately for the public who listen to this smut that is being peddled
and can't discern the issues and are lead like cattle, corralled in this illusion
of political smoke and mirrors is another sad day in the history of this nation.
When is it that a health care bill becomes unconstitutional? when poor people
have the right to the same care that wealthy Americans have for so long enjoyed
and had a monopoly on.
What of Palin, this so called political Pit Bull the fighter of our American cause
who left her job as Governor of Alaska, obviously seeing there is money to be
made ranting her anti health care and European socialism nonsense.
This president has taken more flak in one year of his presidency than all
of the men who have held that office over the pass sixteen year.
Yet they dare try to drag us back to the dark days of racial poison which has for
so long been the thread of fabric in this country.....
No thank you..... I look forward to the change

THE STATE OF THE UNION
We do not give up! We do not quit! was the message that was echoed by president
Obama in his first State of the Union address.
In his usual elegant tone that has become a hallmark of Obama oratory the
president spelled out his agenda for 2010.
Recapturing some of the hope that help put him in to office he said what
the American people hope, what they deserve is for all of us, Democrats and
republicans, to work through our differences, to overcome the numbing weight
of our politics.
What American want is the simple security knowing that tomorrow will be better
than today. Putting on defense for the middle class which he champions...
It's all about economy, jobs and health care which he reminded everyone he
campaigned on an which he has not backed down from.
Mentioning the word "jobs" 29 times, he asked Congress to join with him
and make 2010 the year of jobs...
That the people are out of work an hurting. They need our help and he wants
a bill on his desk right away with out delay...
He pointed out that his administration had some political setbacks pointing to
the poll numbers which slid downward and voters rebelled against Democrats
in Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial races also the lost by a successor to
the late Sen. Edward Kennedy seat to a populist republican.
Much of the presidents speech was showing that he gets it and that he understands
the underlining factors rolling out a number of proposals showing that the White
House has it's sights locked on the economy issues....
He asked that $30 billion in repaid Wall Street loans be funneled in to small business
lending, energy and tax incentives to encourage infrastructure spending.
A new middle class tax cut and eliminating capital gains taxes on small businesses
went down well with New Yorks junior senator. "I liked that he talked about a
middle-class tax-cut said Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.
He stuck by health care reform push even though it took about 25 minutes for
him to get to the topic...
He pointed out by the time he finished speaking this evening more Americans will
have lost their health insurance. Pointing out that he will not walk away from these
Americans and neither should the people in this chamber.
"By now it should be obvious that I didn't take on health care because it's good
politics" "I took on health care because of the stories I've heard from Americans.
On the terrorist issue! I've bagged more terrorists, sez prez
He said the long and painful Iraq war "is ending" after 4,692 US and coalition
troops - so far have perished on it's dusty battle fields, "and all of our troops
are coming home"
Troops from Afghanistan will start coming home by 2011....

THE HATERS
Once again the ugly side of politics in America raises it's hand as critics and hawks
spit there venom against the President Of The United States.
In the latest round of Obama bashing, the Haters have taken aim at his recent
Nobel Peace Award.
There is nothing this man can do, say or just happen to be part of that isn't
up for stone throwing.
Truth is truth the haters do not want the president to win anything that has
peace attached to it while we are in the middle of a war in Afghanistan.
Particularly when the generals want 40,000 troops or more as generals always want.
Sen Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) head of the intelligence Committee, said the US
would be in "Serious jeopardy" of losing the war if Obama failed to meet the
request of Gen Stanley McCrystal for major troop buildup to the current level
of 67,000 men.
On the other end in London, Secretary of State Clinton slammed the Bush Administration
conduct of the Afghan war in defending Obama's lengthy decision-making process.
During the Vietnam war Gen. William Westmoreland wanted 100,000 more troops
from Lyndon Johnson until he finally said know but he kept pushing for the troop
buildup which he called 550,000 the "minimum essential force" and 670,000 the "optimum".
Westmoreland said he could finish the job in three years, well history has already
answered that issue.
Now the Nobel Peace Prize has become more trivial because the rest of the world
feels he deserves it.
He didn't ask for it, an the many more problems that it brings to his table.
Oh! what about the president of the world, he didn't ask for that either.
The other guy before him wanted that.
Well now where are these troops to come from with our military over stretched
as it is. There is something called the draft an you know, you haters it will be your
sons and daughters who will fill some of those ranks. We will see how you like that.

PRESIDENTIAL HUMBLENESS
What a great leader we have here in these United States.....
What more can be said about a president who has the courage an the humbleness
to admit when he has made a mistake an except full responsibility for what ever
actions he has taken.
This is a far cry from the days of former president an politicians who for nothing
else remain in self denial about most of there action....
President Barack Obama has shown once again that he is a president for the
people an by the people over a resent statement made seemingly maligning the
Cambridge Police department in there arrest of Harvard Prof. Henry Louis Gates.
It's sad that critics who have nothing else to do but try an prolong an issue that
parties envolved are trying to get behind them....
Issues of race like the issue of guns in the United States will for ever raise it's
ugly head.
Yes things do get out of hand, so the nature of a country who's very existence
has been embroiled in these kinds of things since it's birth......
For to long in this country, race issues have just been tucked away in the
closet with know one standing up with the courage in tackling this scourge.
So what it being a local issue an the President of the United States weighing in
even though choosing his words in an uncalibrated way, still shows that we are
all part of this united family here an it will take all of us to sort out the worst of
of our problems.
For more details on the issue click on the title above........

BLESSED BE THE PEACE MAKERS
President Barack Obama has once again given one of those great speeches
that will be recorded in history as a defined moment in time.
His speech was given in a country that is as old as the sands of time where
much of the worlds profound wisdom an knowledge has sprung.
Where Greek philosophers sat at the feet of the masters of math, writing, medicine,
astronomy and building.
His speech a message of peace had mix opinion among many in the middle eastern world,
but it was a message of balance an measure.
"The concept of peace was born in the Middle East and constitutes the cornerstone of all three monotheistic faiths -- Christian, Jewish and Muslim -- and it is incumbent on the people of Abraham to unite to meet the challenge and together realize the vision of a sustainable peace in the Middle East," he said.
Speaking from Cairo Egypt his speech focused on seven key points: Violence & Extremism,
Israel & Palestine, Nuclear weapons & Iran, Democracy & Human rights, Religious
Freedom, Woman's Rights and Economic Development & Opportunity.
The president highlighted that Americas policy will align with those who pursue peace.
Quoting from the Koran, Torah and New Testament he pointed to the diversity among
the people of the book and Blessed be the Peace Makers they will be the children of God.
On key points such as the Israel-Palestine problem he pointed out that Palestinians
must stop resorting to violence in pursuit of there goals and that the US has
requested a freeze on settlements in Israel.
President Obama reinforced the message that ending the occupation and establishing a viable and independent Palestinian state was in the mutual interest of Palestinians, Israelis and indeed the entire world.
Further the President pointed out to promoting a broad educational exchange program
between Islamic countries and the US.
Still there are those who will not embrace what he has envisaged weather here in the
US or the middle east as the leaders of Al Qaeda have said there can be no peace
until the US stops aligning with Israel.
