I’m watching Hannan from the UK talking about Universal Health Care. They have exactly what Obama wants to do to us…a governing body, NICE, that decides how to “ration” health care. They recently decided not to give medicine to women with breast and stomach cancer. Change you can believe in? Keep in mind that the wealthy will always find a way to get the best health care, no matter how far they have to travel or what they have to pay. It’s the every day taxpayer who will die slow, painless, and unnecessary deaths because of this nonsense.

What’s this about Oblow sending 4,000 additional troops on top of 17,000 to Afghanistan. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/03/26/obama-announce-deployment-troops-afghanistan/

Where are all the “anti-war” big mouths who voted for O? Why aren’t they freaking out on him.

President Barack Obama’s intelligence chief confirmed Thursday that some Guantanamo inmates may be released on US soil and receive assistance to return to society.

“If we are to release them in the United States, we need some sort of assistance for them to start a new life,” said National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair at his first press conference.

“You can’t just put them on the street,” he added.

I do not want them loose on the streets. My gawd.

Take a look at the picture of this dip head.

“This crisis was caused by the irrational behaviour of white people with blue eyes, who before the crisis appeared to know everything and now demonstrate that they know nothing.”

This guy looks like the other white meat to me.

I’m not surprised at the quote from Geithner. I’ve said for ages that the wheeler dealers on Wall Street were doing nothing more than playing a huge game of whose dick is bigger. Pissy little insecure frat boys, the lot of them.

I’m getting really tired of a male-hierarchal society continually fucking up the lives of millions, all because they seem constitutionally incapable of THINKING, and instead turn everything they touch into one big wankfest virility contest.

Yeah, you have winkies. I get it. I am *cough* suitably impressed. Here, here’s my impressed face.. Oooooooooo!

Now may we zip up and fix the fucking country, please?

Rep. Bachman is an attorney and a CPA. She gets labeled in the Twin Cities and MSNBC as a radical. I rarely agree w/ her but I appreciate her calling it straight, as she sees it, and politely not mincing words.

Used the link ordered it. Thanks SusanUnPc.

It is a case of the body politic not knowing that a slight of hand is occuring.

I keep wondering about the energy of 18 million people and what happened to that focused intent. It has not gone away but is beneath the surface. It was interesting to note the poll you posted still had SOS Clinton indie’s solid support, irrespective of her jester BO.

BO said we won’t get “those jobs back”. Instead we will have renewable jobs…

Ilook forward to the book, as someone who would watch them go to work al rosie with calone in the am and home again on the LIRR ties pulled sloppy, eyes bloodshot and worn, sucking beer from a plastic cup.

I think this ties into the story. I get so confused anymore where one story ends and the other begins. Not from NQ writers, I think you all do a fantastic job. I’m speaking about the reality.

Bachmann bill would ban global currency
@ 1:31 pm by Eric Zimmermann
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) has introduced legislation that would “bar the dollar from being replace by any foreign currency.” A statement from Bachmann’s website:

“Yesterday, during a Financial Services Committee hearing, I asked Secretary Geithner if he would denounce efforts to move towards a global currency and he answered unequivocally that he would,” said Bachmann. “And President Obama gave the nation the same assurances. But just a day later, Secretary Geithner has left the option on the table. I want to know which it is. The American people deserve to know.”

On Monday, Geithner and Bernanke both rejected the idea of a global currency in Congressional testimony. But in remarks to the Council on Foreign Relations yesterday, Geithner indicated he was open to the idea.
