produced by the usual political machines.

I think it was agreed that the teleprompters and school kids incident was a

Ahh yes... true... though my point is still that when teleprompters are used
in front of school kids it's a press conference, not a chat to the kids. Press
conferences get written by speech writers and revised extensively so all the
details are conveyed precisely and are 'expected' to be recited word for
word.
As for Palin, I'm not sure why she writes notes on her hand. Why not just take
up a sheets of paper like every other orator in the world does? Perhaps she
wants to appear like what she's saying is coming off the top of her head? If
one of the other people on stage shakes her hand with a sweaty palm it could
wipe out everything she had to say

I can't believe her fans are trying to make this whole thing into a positive.
Sarah Palin criticizes the president for standing behind a lectern and using
telepromters. Meanwhile, she stands behind a lectern and reads crib notes from
her hand.
It doesn't show that she's "just a normal gal." It shows that she's a
huge hypocrite. That's all.
How can Conservatives bash Obama for being "an elitist" while they pay
Sarah Palin $100,000 to speak at a dinner? And how can Conservatives continue
to bash Obama for being a "celebrity" while they sing praises to Sarah
Palin as she speaks on FOX News as a "political correspondent"?
I have also heard many Conservatives saying how wonderful it is that Palin quit
her job as governor since she could "do more good" as a private
citizen.
As Conservative John Stossel would say, "Give me a break."

Wall Street owners angry with their
purchase
By Glenn Greenwald
Political science professors could require students to read
this article from today's New York Times and little else
would be needed to convey the essence of the American political system. The
article describes how Wall Street -- which poured massive amounts of money into
the Obama campaign and the Democratic Party over the last several years,
ensuring unparalleled access and influence -- is now threatening to support the
Republicans if Obama keeps saying mean things about them. Wall Street
executives are angry that, after duly purchasing the Democrats (they have
receipts and everything), the Obama White House is now rousing the dirty rabble
with their anti-banker rhetoric:
Republicans are rushing to capitalize on what they call Wall Street’s
"buyer’s remorse" with the Democrats. And industry executives and
lobbyists are warning Democrats that if Mr. Obama keeps attacking Wall Street
"fat cats," they may fight back by withholding their cash.
"If the president doesn’t become a little more balanced and centrist
in his approach, then he will likely lose that support," said Kelly S.
King, the chairman and chief executive of BB&T. Mr. King is a board member
of the Financial Services Roundtable, which lobbies for the biggest banks, and
last month he helped represent the industry at a private dinner at the Treasury
Department.
"I understand the public outcry," he continued. "We have a 17
percent real unemployment rate, people are hurting, and they want to see
punishment. But the political rhetoric just incites more animosity and gets
people riled up" . . . "If the president wanted to turn every Democrat
on Wall Street into a Republican," one industry lobbyist said, "he is
doing everything right."
There are numerous points to note about all of this. First, there simply is no
more odious faction inside the U.S. than Wall Street bankers -- and that's
saying quite a bit. Just over a year ago, they almost caused a complete global
economic collapse -- and did cause extreme economic suffering around the world
which continues to this day -- with their sleazy, piggish and lawless behavior.
Yet barely a year later, they now turn around and threaten their purchased
politicians with punishment if their behavior is meaningfully restricted or even
if they're publicly criticized. In light of what they did -- and are still
doing -- they should consider themselves lucky that the public hasn't stormed
their homes and offices in mass rage. Far less pernicious behavior has
triggered such uprisings in the past, and if the American public hadn't been as
ingrained with the passivity and learned helplessness they've been trained to
accept, one would certainly have seen some of that. In a rational,
democratically engaged society, multi-million dollar taxpayer-enabled banker
bonuses, combined with mass unemployment and home foreclosures (combined with
establishment threats to reduce Social Security and Medicare), is not the ideal
means for maintaining social order.
Second, stories like this ought to put to rest forever the notion that the
Republican Party is some sort of haven for populist anger. As subservient as
the Democrats have been to Wall Street -- note that, more than a year later,
Wall Street can only complain about "rhetoric," not any actual
legislation that has been passed -- the Republicans are out there promising Wall
Street to be even more loyal servants if they're given the dog treats that have
recently been going to the Democrats:
Senator John Cornyn of Texas, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial
Committee, said he visited New York about twice a month to try to tap into Wall
Street’s "buyers’ remorse." "I just don’t know how long you
can expect people to contribute money to a political party whose main plank of
their platform is to punish you," Mr. Cornyn said.
So the GOP is out there successfully pretending in front of the angry tea
partiers that they, too, are furious about Wall Street's gorging and domination
of Washington, all while simultaneously crawling to Wall Street and pledging to
be good little boys and girls -- and to keep the agitated masses at bay -- if
Wall Street once again purchases them rather than the Democrats. The only thing
more absurd than the Democrats' pretending to be the Populist Party of the
People is the Republican Party's doing so.
Third, that Wall Street is dissatisfied with the Democrats and the Obama
administration reveals how extreme are their expectations of control of the
Government. The second-highest-ranking Democratic Senator, Dick Durbin,
recently conceded of the Democratic-controlled Congress: "frankly, bankers
own the place." It's impossible to find a more loyal and attentive servant
to bankers than Obama Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. As the NYT article this
morning details, Wall Street executives and their lobbyists have virtually
unfettered access to the administration and to the President himself. You would
think they'd be satisfied with the state of affairs in Washington. Yet so
extreme are their perceived entitlements of control that even mere symbolic and
rhetorical disobedience from the politicians they own -- he said some mean
things about us -- creates a sense of righteous grievance: our government
employees do not behave this way toward us and will be punished if it
continues.
Finally, marvel at the cowardice, as well as the journalistic shoddiness,
evident in these anonymity-based passages:
The expectation in Washington is that "We can kick you around, and you
are still going to give us money," said a top official at a major Wall
Street firm, speaking on the condition of anonymity for fear of alienating the
White House. "We are not going to play that game anymore." . . .
"If the president wanted to turn every Democrat on Wall Street into a
Republican," one industry lobbyist said, "he is doing everything
right."
In essence, Wall Street executives said to David Kirkpatrick, the NYT reporter
who wrote this story: "I want to threaten and criticize the President, but
I'm too much of a coward to do so with my name attached, so will you let me do
it in your paper anonymously"? And Kirkpatrick replied: "Oh,
absolutely; that's what anonymity is for: to let the country's most powerful
people spew venom and issue threats while being shielded and protected by
journalists from accountability." Perhaps one of those nameless executives
might have inquired of Kirkpatrick: "but didn't your newspaper publish
very stringent guidelines limiting the use of anonymity in the wake of the Iraq
debacle?", to which Kirkpatrick could easily and truthfully have replied:
"oh, those? Please. Nobody worries about that, least of all us. That's
just there to placate the same angry rabble whom you're now ordering your
political property to more efficiently pacify."

Ah - the old "you're talking about her so you must be intimidated by

If such is the case, then the Obama bashers must be insanely intimidated because
they've been going non-stop since November 2008.
From 2001-2009, Republicans blamed every problem on Bill Clinton and the
Democratic Congress that "took over" in 2006. Meanwhile, Republicans
launched 141 filibusters and 14 Bush vetoes to prevent any and all legislative
progress. Then, Republicans shouted to everyone that the Democrats are a
"do-nothing Congress."
When the Democrats were a minority in Congress, Republicans sponsored
legislation to eliminate the filibuster. These days, I bet they're very
thankful that they failed on that initiative.
Again - give me a break.

If the GOP would stop courting polarizing, extreme right wing figures like Palin

I don't hate both parties because they're corrupt, but I damned sure despise
any member of congress or group of congresspeople who deal underhanded political
BS and refuse to listen to the voice of their constituents and instead have some
idea that because we elected them they are somehow suddenly empowered to know
what's best for us instead and just enact laws in opposition to the consensus of
the electorate!
Anyone voting a straight party ticket only points up their individual laziness
and lack of logic in doing so. In case that somehow misses the mark let me
restate it by saying NO FUCKING PARTY offers all the best solutions or
candidates.
Anyone who thinks we should turn off the closest thing we have to a source of
actually reporting what's goin on in our government without 1st filtering it
through the "let me PLEASE be the next to suck your dick mr. prez, Please
PLEASE!" pundits that control the bulk of the media these days (not the
lion share of the audience, just the lions share of media holdings and outlets)
is effectively asking that no one should question our govt., it's direction and
certainly not it's motives.
MSNBC, CBS, ABC, PBS and all their affiliates carp on endlessly about anyone
standing in opposition to this administrations agenda as
"obstructionist", "racially motivated", "extreme right
wingers", or the extremely cunningly divisive pejorative they love to call
anyone associated with the Tea Party movement in calling them Teabaggers, but
NO, that's not slanted at all or overtly agendized, Huh? Yep, that's fair and
balanced reporting .... so long as running things through a Saul Alinsky filter
1st makes it so. One of the primary tenets of his Rules For Radicals is when
you meet opposition do your best to minimize the morals and character of your
opponents by demeaning their mentality and vilifying their opposition in any way
possible. This is so fucking obvious in the "other" media outlets
daily spew it's sickening to even watch.
BTW, to put it in the simplest of terms, disagreeing with proposed policies and
legislation is only obstructionist if it's also done in opposition to the
opinion of the electorate at large. It's hardly being "obstructionist"
for the opposition to stand against political policies because their
constituents say THEY are in disagreement and the opposition is actually only
then acting upon THEIR wishes, which just happen to also not agree with the
prezs agenda!
Debate, real honest, open debate is what moves republics forward, not back
stabbing, not back door dealing, and damned sure not misrepresentation of the
electorates opinion and refusing to honestly represent them! But, debate is one
thing people trying to subvert the will of the electorate run from like the
fuckin plague at every opportunity.
Take a few minutes and do your homework to learn of Obamas recent
"redirection" tactics. He's been told he's too visible and that
having questioning segments of the press available when he chooses to speak in
public are "muting and watering down" his message so he's been
redirected by his handlers to "filter" his public appearances by being
more limiting of whom will be allowed to be present and make more one sided
methods of discourse like his web based "talks" where he's the only
one speaking the best course forward. Sounds like he and Hugo Chavez really do
have a lot in common. The biggest difference here is that although he's tried
to do so, Obama hasn't managed to get the "other side" of the media
shut down like Chavez did.
I make no bones about it ... I want this god damned piece of shit out of office!
He's a pandering puppet to the big $$ that got him elected, pushes at every
turn to confound business growth in this country, has done more to foster the
possibility of national bankruptcy of our government and industry, has grown an
already HUGE federal government by another 20+% in just one year and has turned
a deaf ear to the American electorates cries to stop the madness while taking
another of Sauls principles straight to heart which says "When the going
gets tough, HIT THE GAS and forge straight ahead, the end result justifies the
means.".
Whatta fuckin cheezedick we have for a pres.!
And here's a shout out to the 92% of the black electorate who helped install
this piece of dogshit "'cuz he beez (1/2) black" and the witless
starry eyed yo-yos that gobbled up his "Change you can believe in!"
crap like it was strawberry shortcake on a hot afternoon, never mind he never
even related what he meant until he was in office and set about the inner
destruction of one of the most powerful economies and countries to have been a
part of the worlds history!

Iranians people adopted the name change around 1949 and Dwight D Eisenhower was
president. He created legislation that added over 10 million Americans to the
Social Security system. Was also inducted into the World Golf Hall Of Fame. I
prefer to call him the father of our interstate highway system

But the Iranian people didn't adopt the name change until 1940s.

well... i guess "who" could be debated indefinately because of the
use of the title for 1000+ years.

The key with how things really are is..... you can just keep going back farther
and farther and everything changes.

Sooner or later Iran will have to be destroyed.
