Why does an “American” bank buy sewer pipes in Germany? Aside from the tax write off, Obama Bullshit streches for miles…it has to go some where.

A firm that has donated to the president’s charity is accused of collaborating with the government in its crackdown on Tibetan activists. Hillary Clinton has spoken out against China’s actions.

No kidding, had to watch out for those French engineers, we would get the rudest email, ever.

Why in the military you’ll hear about service people saluting the brass, not the person (because some officers are absolute aholes — and in extreme cases, they were even fragged by their own troops).

It’s a little things that has a huge return. In the military everything has to be proven. It took Iraq, with all of it’s hell, to get them to see service women more than secretaries and “support”. This is the first war, that service women are actually dying doing their MOS, not a accidential casuality/or invasion spoil (e.g., nurses getting caught in the crossfire). They’re passing the combat arms test, and who knows, that last barrier in the military may even be lifted (so needed for career advancement). Heck, I’m even seeing service women in color and honor guards now — OOORAH!!

With all that effort and sacrifices, the first female CiC, has to do it right.

Ironically they made it “illegal” to purchase the drugs that are made in America from Canada, because they want to make sure Americans pay MORE for those drugs. Their lame argument was “safety”. So what happens? We find the FDA has to get involved with drugs that were manufactured in China and shipped here.

The pharmaceutical companies spend scores of billions on TV to tell plant ideas of their drugs into people’s heads (which should be illegal!) and at the same time they tell us that we have to pay more for their drugs for “research”…only for us to find that much of their research is funded by us to begin with.

Sure, that might help one state, AL, with one part of the Airbus contract but look at how much of the rest of it is NOT being done in the States. If we can’t at least keep DOD manufacturing here in the states it kind of makes what the prez candidates say meaningless.

Obama apparently drew the drunks.
