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.

THE TIME IS NOW

President Obama rips the GOP an those that have been on a campaign to
derail his health care plan.

He made his appeal to Congress an the nation last night to revive his troubled
young presidency and crusade to give health care to all Americans.

It was a dark moment that showed the depth of the divide an the the partisan politics
being played out between the parties.

The President having to confront critics from all around him has to meet the challenge
of pleasing conservative Democrats who fear he will do to much and Republicans
who are crying doom.

In his speech he said he was the first President to take up the cause an he is
determined to be the last President to do so.

With a gloomy look on there faces, the GOP sat there listening as he spelled out his
agenda.

South Carolina Republican Rep. Joe Wilson shouted, "You Lie" at the President.

Still insisting he will heal the partisan divide, Obama lashed out at the GOP who
he blames for distorting the debate and staking the future on defeating reform.

The truth is those who seek to derail the President, just haven't come to terms
that he has out classed them on every level since before and after coming to office.

The GOP has never had a sound agenda or a candidate that could bring one forward.

This talk of socialism coming from the right is just another diversion created to
try an derail his election promises.

Change for Washington is a hard nut to swallow for those politicians who have been
entrenched in the old way for so long.

"I will not waste time with those who have made calculation that it's better politics
to kill this plan, than improve it" he vowed.

"if you misrepresent what's in the plan we will call you out"

He said he understood how difficult the health care debate has been an know that
many in the country are deeply skeptical that Government is looking out for them.

Obama admitted saying it would be safer to delay reform......

We did not come to fear the future; we came here to shape it.....
