You can read any of the above stories by simply clicking on any of them but if you were paying attention to what is really going on you never would have let this get out of hand in the first place. Let's face it... You're ignorant of what it is your candidate is FOR when you voted for the idiot (remember, it's not you that caused the current problems, it's the numb skull you voted for...you just failed to recognize when they are lying). If you care to fact-check the reasons behind the politics of climate change you will find that for the most part it is a United Nations plan to tax you for something you have no control over...the weather! Aside from the revenues that they hope to gain, the real impetus is on population control. The politic elite hope to reduce the world's population by whatever means necessary. You don't believe this? Just ask Henry Kissinger, Jimmy Carter, George Herbert Walker Bush, Bill Clinton, Barack Husein Obama, et al. Check out the Global 2000 Report, or the Club of Rome.
In any event most of us nobodies knew all about this climate change crap it's just that the politic elite managed to get control over the mainstream media and thus control over the ignorant masses (which may have well included you because most voters don't know what it is they are voting for and they only think they know who they cast their ballots for...so wake the hell up! Note: Aldous Huxley explained it better than I...see quote below)

Global Warming...Bah humbug!

This global warming thing is getting old and me with it. Sometime ago, maybe I should
say, a long time ago, when I was yet a child somewhere between the age of eight and
ten, I first learned of this potential threat. The reason I put the spread on my age was
the fact that it was during the time President Harry Truman was in the White House.
Yes, we had alarmist back then, but they did not play politics with mother nature and
carbon footprints were never mentioned.

Although I cannot remember the precise date nor the exact source I can boil it down to
either the Fall River Herald News or some popular magazine of the era; Time, Look, Life,
etc. My friend Frankie also read the piece as we talked about it afterwards.

The article proclaimed that the sun was going to explode and during the years leading
up to such a catastrophe the earth would experience higher temperatures. Based on
the scientific calculations at the time, this event was to take place several million years
in the future. With that said, I clearly remember Frankie stating, "Well if President
Truman is not worried about it why should we."

So there you have it. The global warming buck did not stop at Harry Truman's desk!

Al Gore, "Get over it!"

OBAMA'S LYING LIES AND HIS LYING LIARS!

First there was no such thing as a Death Board, it was made up by GOP thugs. Then Friday Obama said that it had been removed from the Health Care Bill. How can you remove something they said didn't exist?

IT'S JUST ONE MORE BIG FAT OBAMA LIE!

Obama and his Press Secretary have been lying about this all week:

The White House for the first time Sunday acknowledged that people across the country received unsolicited e-mails from the administration last week about health care reform, suggesting the problem is with third-party groups that placed the recipients' names on the distribution list.
In a written statement released exclusively to FOX News, White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said the White House hopes those who received the e-mails without signing up for them were not "inconvenienced" by the messages.
READ IT HERE!

SO MANY OBAMA LIES WE DON'T HAVE ROOM TO PRINT THEM:

Here is another big fat lie, put out there to con the folks:
In a staged lie from the White House, Obama Press liar Robert Gibbs this morning has denied that Obama has removed the Public Option from any of the now FOUR (4) health/death care bills in Congress. This makes a liar out of Obama's Health and Human Services Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius who had announced that they were backing off the PUBLIC OPTION on Obama Care. Sebelius said it was "not the essential element" in the Obama Death Care legislation. Then the socialist left of the Democratic Party with spokesman Howard Dean objected and Move on dot org sent out hundreds of thousands of e-mails to pinkos and lefties all over the nation calling for Sebelius's head! Obama backed down and lied again and said it was NOT BEING REMOVED from the bill even though Senate Democrats say they received word from Obama via the normal channels that it was being dropped. How many lies here, I see 4 major lies, but then I am losing count!

What's the problem? Obama is telling so many lies they are losing track of them. DO YOU WANT THESE MORONS RUNNING YOUR HEALTHCARE?

1. It makes no difference what Obama does because the result will be precisely the same whether or not there is a public option — massive rationing of medical services to the elderly.
The legislation still plans to achieve 40% of its savings from cuts in Medicare, slicing reimbursement rates to doctors and hospitals encouraging them shortchange their elderly patients as a matter of economic necessity and shrinking further the population of doctors. The standards and protocols of the newly established Federal Health Board are just as likely to direct the denial of care to seniors for such surgeries as hip and knee replacements and even coronary artery bypass as before the Obama retreat.
And where do the medical resources go? To the newly legal formally illegal residents from Mexico and other countries. Grandma and Grandpa die while the illegals get free care..GOT IT.

Is there a history lesson from the swine flu of '76?
Scientists look closely for side effects of vaccine after earlier version caused outbreak of rare form of paralysis

By David Brown
Saturday, November 28, 2009

As more and more people receive the H1N1 shot, an earlier vaccine is casting a mysterious shadow over the attempt to immunize 200 million people in the next few months.

A vaccine made in 1976 in response to a different strain of H1N1 influenza led to an outbreak of a rare form of paralysis. Of the 43 million people who were vaccinated, about 400 developed Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), and 25 died.

Whether an equally unexpected surprise might be lurking in this year's swine flu shot is a big -- although not publicly acknowledged -- question hanging over the current immunization effort. That possibility is why the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention routinely reports, as it did Wednesday, on whether any notable side effects to the new vaccine have been discovered. (None have.)

Unlike today's bug, the 1976 virus never took off from where it originated at an army base in New Jersey. With nothing to be gained from vaccination, the widespread campaign was halted after less than three months.

For the 15 years after the "swine flu affair," scientists sought to nail down whether and how much the 1976 vaccine increased a person's risk of GBS. Almost nothing, however, was done to figure out how and why the flu shot had that effect. It's an oversight some public health officials are coming to regret.

"We should have made an exhaustive attempt to understand what happened from a biological standpoint," said Michael T. Osterholm, a physician who heads the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy.

Both the 1976 strain and the new H1N1 strain are closely related to viruses carried by pigs, making some wonder whether that "swinishness" makes their vaccines more likely to cause unusual effects.

"That is the right question to ask," said Peter Palese, an influenza virologist at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. "And I would like to say that no one really knows."

Researchers stopped looking back at 1976, Osterholm said, when there were no subsequent problems with flu vaccines. "After we had a couple of seasons under our belt when there was no unusual risk to regular flu vaccines, we just let it go," he said.

Today's H1N1 vaccine is made, tested and administered the same way the seasonal flu vaccine is. There's no reason to think it's any more dangerous than the regular flu shot, whose risk of serious side effects is essentially zero.

But that was true of the 1976 vaccine, too.

A spike in cases?

Named after two French physicians who described it in 1916, Guillain-Barré [GEE-yan bah-RAY] syndrome causes weakness and tingling that starts in the legs, but over weeks can affect most of the body's muscles. The symptoms occur because the insulation on the outside of nerve fibers breaks down, damaging the normal conduction of impulses.

In normal times, GBS occurs at a rate of roughly 2 cases per 100,000 people per year. Although only about 5 percent die, up to a third spend time in an intensive care unit on a ventilator before they get better. Nearly a third still have some weakness three years later.

After the 1976 vaccination campaign was halted on Dec. 16 of that year, much work went into figuring out whether the increase in GBS cases was real, or just a random upward blip.

Careful counting in defined populations -- most important, the entire states of Minnesota and Michigan -- proved beyond doubt that it was real: The risk of developing the condition rose four- to seven-fold in the six weeks after getting the swine flu shot. The number of cases attributable to the vaccine ranged from 5 to 12 per million people vaccinated.

Studies of vaccines before they go on the market have too few people in them to uncover adverse events occurring at such very low frequency. That's why the GBS risk was not detected in the testing of the 1976 vaccine -- and why it would not be caught in this year's testing, either.

Researchers looked for spikes in GBS among people vaccinated for flu in subsequent seasons and did not find any. The only exceptions were 1992-93 and 1993-94. When those two seasons were combined, people getting flu shots had a slightly higher risk of GBS -- about 1 extra case per million. The conclusion was that 1976 was a fluke, unlikely to happen again.

Comparing the vaccines

There's some evidence that the 1976 vaccine may have triggered GBS through a mechanism known as molecular mimicry.

About two-thirds of cases of GBS arise after an intestinal or respiratory infection (including flu). The biggest cause is a bacterium responsible for food-borne illness, Campylobacter jejuni. Campylobacter can stimulate the immune system to make antibodies against a nerve-sheath substance called ganglioside, and that presumably leads to the condition.

However, not all people with the syndrome have nerve-attacking antibodies, and millions of people get Campylobacter infections without getting GBS. So clearly there are unknown factors -- some almost certainly genetic -- involved in the disease. The 1976 vaccine may have triggered GBS in much the way that Campylobater does. The evidence comes from experiments done by Irving Nachamkin, a microbiologist at the University of Pennsylvania, and published last year.

Nachamkin had access to a few unopened vials of the 1976 vaccine, which he tested for the presence of Campylobacter bacteria. He found none, putting to rest the theory that the 1976 GBS cases were the consequence of contaminated vaccine. He then injected the vaccine into mice. All developed antibodies against GM1, a form of ganglioside.

"We were just as surprised as anyone when we found this," Nachamkin said. "The real question is: Is it relevant to Guillain-Barré syndrome?"

What's confusing is that animals injected with flu vaccines from 1991 and 2004 also developed the anti-GM1 antibodies ( as did some animals infected with the even more distantly related H5N1 bird flu strain). Furthermore, none developed muscle weakness. Researchers at CDC are hunting down blood samples from people who got the 1976 vaccine to see if they contain antibodies to ganglioside, or hold any other hints as to what might have made that flu shot have that rare side effect.

Today, both the federal government's epidemiologists and pretty much every neurologist in America have eyes wide open for cases of GBS.

As of last week, six cases of GBS in people who had gotten the H1N1 vaccine had been reported to the federal government's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. (Four more are under investigation.) The six people with confirmed cases live in Maryland, Virginia, New York, Connecticut, Florida and Illinois. In each case, the person came down with neurological symptoms within two days being vaccinated -- almost certainly too soon to be a consequence of the vaccine.

"At this point, we are not seeing any evidence there is an increase in Guillain-Barre syndrome," said James J. Sejvar, the physician leading CDC's surveillance for it.

A survey by the Harvard School of Public Health earlier in the fall found that about half of American adults have no plans to get the pandemic flu vaccine. Only one-third said they thought it was "very safe" for most people.

Even if there were to be a slight increase in GBS, some public health officials believe it would still be worth getting vaccinated.

"I think the numbers of people who would be saved from serious illness or death would be far greater," said Palese.

The emerging picture of the 2009 pandemic seems to bear out that hunch.

For every 100,000 people vaccinated, the 1976 vaccine was responsible for just under 1 case of GBS. A CDC analysis this month revealed that out of every 100,000 people who come down with the pandemic flu, 18 die from it.

Obama's grandma slams 'untruths'

By Katharine Houreld, Associated Press

KOGELO, Kenya — American shock jocks, dirty tricks masterminds and political bloggers: Beware the wrath of an 86-year-old Kenyan villager.

...he is a Muslim is wrong, because that is not what he is," scolded Sarah Obama.

..."In the world of today, children have different religions from their parents," she said. She, too, is a Christian.

Saudi Arabia: Obama's grandmother in Mecca for 'Hajj' ceremony

Mecca, 25 Nov. (AKI) - The grandmother of US president Barack Obama has arrived in Saudi Arabia for the 'Hajj' or Islamic pilgrimage to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, a Saudi daily said on Wednesday. Sarah Obama, 87, is being accompanied by a nephew and Obama's cousin, Omran.

On Wednesday Sarah Obama was in the valley of Mina with an African delegation, according to the Saudi daily Okaz.

Obama, the mother of the American president's father, lives in a village in Kenya and is one of the many guests of Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud.

About two million Muslims converge on Mecca each year for the Hajj pilgrimage but Saudi officials were expecting fewer pilgrims this year due to the threat of the H1N1 virus known as swine flu.

Crowds of pilgrims have been converging on the holy city of Mecca in recent days, and started the Hajj rites on Wednesday.

At the weekend, Saudi health authorities said that four people attending the Hajj had died from the H1N1 virus but sought to play down the risk.

The Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is an obligation for all able-bodied Muslims to attend at least once during their lives, provided they can afford it.

I can't figure out what country you are the president of.

Subject: WOW what a letter

Dear President Obama,

My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don't believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.

I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos'n Mate. Now I live in a "rest home" located on the western end of Pearl Harbor allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.

One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one,is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.

So here goes.

I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.

I can't figure out what country you are the president of.
You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:
" We're no longer a Christian nation"
" America is arrogant" - (Your wife even announced to the world,"America is mean-spirited. " Please tell her to try preaching that nonsense to 23 generations of our war dead buried all over the globe who died for no other reason than to free a whole lot of strangers from tyranny and hopelessness.)

I'd say shame on the both of you but I don't think you like America nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.

After 9/11 you said," America hasn't lived up to her ideals."
Which ones did you mean? Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British ? Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War ? I hope you didn't mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers,husbands,and a lot of fellas I knew personally died for in WWII,because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around because we stand for freedom.

I don't think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.

Take a little advice from a very old geezer,young man. Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don't, I'll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue. You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves.

And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don't want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts who was putting up a fight ? You don't mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don't want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are,terrorists.

One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life but you're the Commander-in-Chief now,son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you're not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you're thinking of.

You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president. You're not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That's not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now. And I sure as hell don't want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle.

Sincerely,
Harold B. Estes

When a 95 year old hero of the "the Greatest Generation" stands up and speaks out like this, I think we owe it to him to send his words to as many Americans as
we can. Please pass it on.

Meet the wiliest of all coyotes: Hit by a car at 75 mph, embedded in the fender, and dragged for 600 miles – but Tricky SURVIVED

When a brother and sister struck a coyote at 75mph they assumed they had killed the animal and drove on.

They didn't realise this was the toughest creature ever to survive a hit-and-run.

Eight hours, two fuel stops, and 600 miles later they found the wild animal embedded in their front fender - and very much alive.

Wily coyote: The animal's head can be seen as rescuers took apart the front fender to save it after it was struck by the car at 75mph

'We knew it was bad': Tevyn East, who was in the car when it hit the coyote, bends down to take a look at the fur poking through the fender

And - as if to prove the point - the wily coyote later escaped from where it was being kept to recover.

Daniel and Tevyn East were driving at night along Interstate 80 near the Nevada-Utah border when they noticed a pack of coyotes near the roadside on October 12.

When one of the animals ran in front of the car, the impact sounded fatal so the siblings thought there no point in stopping.

'Right off the bat, we knew it was bad,' Daniel explained. 'We thought the story was over.'

After the incident around 1am, they continued their 600 mile drive to North San Juan - even stopping for fuel at least twice.

Fur Pete's sake: What Mr East spotted as he bent down to inspect the damage to his car - the body of the coyote poking out through the radiator

Miracle escape: As the animal struggled, wildlife protection officials put a loop around its neck to prevent it from further injuring itself

But it was only when they finally reached their destination at 9am did they take time to examine what damage they may have sustained.

At first it looked as though it was going to be quite gruesome.

'[Daniel] saw fur and the body inside the grill,' Tevyn East said. 'I was trying to keep some distance. Our assumption was it was part of the coyote - it didn't register it was the whole animal.'

Daniel East got a broom to try and pry the remains out of the bumper and got the shock of his life.

'It flinched,' Tevyn East said. 'It was a huge surprise - he got a little freaked out.'

The front of the car is completely taken apart as the coyote begins to wriggle free

And voila! Tricky the toughest coyote ever rests in a cage after its ordeal - which it survived with just some scrapes to its paw

The pair immediately phone Wildlife Rehabilitation and Release.

'We could see a little bit of blood, not a lot, and we couldn't see any wounds,' Tevyn East said. 'We didn't know if it was suffering and we should put it out of its misery, or if we could rescue it. But we realized we were going to have to take the front end of the car off to get to it.'

The coyote had been thoroughly embedded between the front fender and radiator of their Honda Fit car - and had amazingly survived the journey without any broken bones or internal injuries.

'It just had some scrapes on its paw,' Daniel East said.

The coyote - which was nicknamed Tricky - became active while trying to escape the car space so, fearing severe internal injuries, wildlife rescue worker Jan Crowell managed to snare a loop around its neck.

Jan took the coyote to a kennel in her yard while figuring out where to release it.

But three days later the coyote saw its chance - and escaped by wriggling beneath the bottom bar of the cage.

'Now it's a local coyote,' Tevyn East said.

'This coyote is amazing. If you look at the front of our car, the grill broke and acted like a net to soften the impact. It's pretty insane ... somehow the conditions were just right for it to survive the trip. We're trying to tell the story to people, to family and friends back home, but people can't wrap their minds around it.'

'We named it Tricky for a reason,' Daniel East said.

Obama's Latest Attack on America:

Navy SEALs Face Assault Charges for Capturing Most-Wanted Terrorist

Obama ought to step in and halt this persecution of brave patriots immediately. But he won't He's not fit to wipe their boots.

The enemy is O's friend and America is O's enemy. He is painfully unqualified. The man never worked a real job, he scammed the system the radical leftist way, he never served in the military, never lived one day as a proud America, and surrounds himself with America haters and agitators. These SEALs are cooked.

Navy SEALs Face Assault Charges for Capturing Most-Wanted Terrorist FOX (hat tip big mac)

Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq — the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004. And three of the SEALs who captured him are now facing criminal charges, sources told FoxNews.com.

The three, all members of the Navy's elite commando unit, have refused non-judicial punishment — called an admiral's mast — and have requested a trial by court-martial.

Ahmed Hashim Abed, whom the military code-named "Objective Amber," told investigators he was punched by his captors — and he had the bloody lip to prove it.

Now, instead of being lauded for bringing to justice a high-value target, three of the SEAL commandos, all enlisted, face assault charges and have retained lawyers.

Matthew McCabe, a Special Operations Petty Officer Second Class (SO-2), is facing three charges: dereliction of performance of duty for willfully failing to safeguard a detainee, making a false official statement, and assault.

Petty Officer Jonathan Keefe, SO-2, is facing charges of dereliction of performance of duty and making a false official statement.

Petty Officer Julio Huertas, SO-1, faces those same charges and an additional charge of impediment of an investigation.

The three SEALs will be arraigned separately on Dec. 7. Another three SEALs — two officers and an enlisted sailor — have been identified by investigators as witnesses but have not been charged.

FoxNews.com obtained the official handwritten statement from one of the three witnesses given on Sept. 3, hours after Abed was captured and still being held at the SEAL base at Camp Baharia. He was later taken to a cell in the U.S.-operated Green Zone in Baghdad.

The SEAL told investigators he had showered after the mission, gone to the kitchen and then decided to look in on the detainee.

"I gave the detainee a glance over and then left," the SEAL wrote. "I did not notice anything wrong with the detainee and he appeared in good health."

Lt. Col. Holly Silkman, spokeswoman for the special operations component of U.S. Central Command, confirmed Tuesday to FoxNews.com that three SEALs have been charged in connection with the capture of a detainee. She said their court martial is scheduled for January.

United States Central Command declined to discuss the detainee, but a legal source told FoxNews.com that the detainee was turned over to Iraqi authorities, to whom he made the abuse complaints. He was then returned to American custody. The SEAL leader reported the charge up the chain of command, and an investigation ensued.

The source said intelligence briefings provided to the SEALs stated that "Objective Amber" planned the 2004 Fallujah ambush, and "they had been tracking this guy for some time."

The Fallujah atrocity came to symbolize the brutality of the enemy in Iraq and the degree to which a homegrown insurgency was extending its grip over Iraq.

How to Pay for Universal Health Care

By Bernie

Many of my fellow citizens have expressed concern over how we are going to pay for universal health care.

If we follow the example of Medicare from 1970 to 2005, our economy grew by a factor of 12, from $1.012 trillion to $12.266 trillion but Medicare spending soared by a factor of 47, from $7.1 billion to $336.9 billion [Barron's].

So if we are told that Universal Health Care will cost about 600 billion dollars over the next decade, we can be sure that it will end up costing trillions.

But I say, don't worry. If Obama continues with his socialist policies which mimics those of another moron who doesn't know what he's doing, namely, Executive President Robert Gabriel Mugabe of Zimbabwe, then there will be no problem paying trillions of dollars for Universal Health Care: we will simply issue a few banknotes to cover the costs:

Reserve bank of Zimbabwe, 100 Trillion dollars

And yes, these are genuine legal tender banknotes. You might as well get used to looking at 100 trillion dollar bills, we will have the same shortly ourselves. There is a reason that gold went over $1170 an ounce today: the fear that the health care bill may actually pass.

Jamie Dimon “I take full blame for all the American banks and all the things they did...”

We have a story here but I really don't think it will change things at the Treasury Department. Apparently there's a move on to replace Tim Geithner with yet another Obama cohort, Jamie Dimon. Dimon who made the statement, “I take full blame for all the American banks and all the things they did...” (during a panel on leadership at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.)
So the economy is suffering under Geithner and Obama thinks things will get better by using the guy who claims to have screwed up the entire American banking system and then brags about it to the Swiss. Are the patients running the asylum or what?
Then we have another outlandish statement by Mr. Dimon when he writes in an op-ed at the Washington Post, "...that banks like his should be allowed to fail." ...this after he accepts a few billion dollars of bailout money from the CIC (that's not Commander In Chief, that's Crook-In-Charge.) The actual amount was 25 billion dollars given to JP Morgan...non-other than Dimon's bank where he was the top dog.
Somewhere in an earlier post I made the statement, "Things will get worse before they get better." Well if Dimon is appointed Treasury Csar look for some accuracy in my forecasting.

The following from Maggie's Notebook

Tim Geithner Out? Jamie Dimon In? Jamie Dimon Tim Geithner Replacement?

Last week, in a meeting of the Joint Economic Committee, Republican Kevin Brady (Texas) asked Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, if he would resign "for the sake of our jobs." Michael Burgess (R-Texas) told Geithner, face-to-face, "I don't think you should fired, I think you should have never been hired." And in a television interview, Democrat Peter DeFazio (Oregon) said America needs a new economic team.

Jamie Dimon

We have reports out from Bloomberg and the New York Post speculating that J.P. Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon might be a replacement for Geithner, although most believe such a move will be "a stretch."

People familiar with Dimon's thinking said he "would love to serve his country," and in recent weeks Dimon has had a noticeably higher profile in Washington, making frequent visits to government officials and earlier this month publishing an op-ed in the Washington Post that makes the case for letting large institutions that take big risks collapse rather than receive government aid.

It appears that Jamie Dimon has a close personal relationship with Barack Obama, has known him for a very long time, and is a "frequent" visitor to the White House, although the official White House visitor logs released recently, only shows Dimon on the premises twice.

From Bloomberg: Dimon’s Missteps

Not that he hasn’t stumbled. When the housing collapse started, for example, Dimon viewed it as an opportunity to expand in the California market for jumbo mortgages. He was also slow to exit the business of purchasing mortgages originated by outside brokers.

Nevertheless, Dimon has maintained a stronger stronger balance sheet than rivals. JPMorgan’s tangible common shareholders equity was 3.4 percent of assets at the end of last year. This has become a key measure of balance-sheet health for investors. While not necessarily stellar, JPMorgan’s level compares with about 2.7 percent at Wells Fargo Co., Isecond biggest after JPMorgan in market value among U.S. banks.

Who Is Really Controlling Obama ???

THE NO-BULL NEWS LETTER

Who's Really Running the Show?

I have been having a nagging intuition lately
that something is not quite right about Barack Obama. I am not suggesting there is something wrong with the man, per se. Nor am I talking about the crazy, even dangerous, policies coming out of the White House. No, lately, I have been wondering if Barack Obama is, in fact, the person who is actually functioning as President of the United States. I mean, there's no doubt that he fills the position of POTUS but is he really the one in command? The man actually seems lost at times. He seems to be reacting to ideas about which he does not really have a clue. He has left the writing of this health care bill to Nancy Pelosi's House of Representatives and she, in turn, has farmed the writing out to several fairly radical community action groups.

When questioned about health care, he seems not to know or understand the details and even with his silver-tongue seems unable to demonstrate any leadership on the issue. With respect to Afghanistan and the rest of our foreign policy, he seems equally lost. Especially when it comes to dealing with other world leaders. He makes beautiful speeches but seems to be unable to cut deals which benefit our nation. He seems to be acting as a pawn of much more clever world leaders.

The more I watch the man, the more I see a person who appears to be the "face" of some other entity or group. He seems like a "front man". And it is becoming clear that his strings are being pulled by someone else. He does not appear to be the man in command of the ship of state. At least, he is not in the driver's seat. You might recall that people said about Bush that he was a front man for the neo-cons and that it was really Dick Cheney that was running the show. It turns out that Dick Cheney was not as influential in Bush's second term as many thought but, perhaps it is true that the neo-cons, whoever they may be, were pulling some of Bush's strings. On the other hand, with Obama, it does not appear that there is anyone who is visible to we the people or the media who is pulling the strings. If they are there, they are not in elected positions as Cheney was. They are better hidden than that. We know that he has been and remains surrounded by life-long radicals, professed communists and anti-capitalists, some of whom he has even appointed as czars in his administration. Thirty six czars, to date. But is it Obama who is picking the czars or is it the czars who are running the show and propping up Obama as their front man?

I know all this may sound crazy but, really, when you look at the man without the idolatry and media worship, does he really look like he knows what he is doing? Does he seem to have a direction? Firm convictions? Something he deeply believes in? The more he talks now, the more his words seems empty of content. Platitudes about America and the American people which, when he says them, simply do not ring true. They are words being mouthed but not believed by him. Okay, so maybe he is really clever, is firmly moving the ship to the left while mouthing the words of a centrist but I don't think so. What I used to think was that he was a really slick conman who was making us watch his left hand while he was manipulating us with his right. But, now I don't think that so much. I think the man is more plastic than real. Now I begin to see him as the "Great and Powerful Oz": a fearsome presence who is being manipulated by men behind the curtain. And while Obama does not have strong convictions, the men behind the curtain do. And they are moving this country down a dangerous path. All the while, we are being distracted by Obama and what he says and does. Okay, maybe I am simply a mildly paranoid conspiracy theorist. Why, you might ask, have Obama up there? Why not have one of the actual people behind the curtain run for President. Well, being a paranoid conspiracy theorist, I can come up with an answer to that question. Those other people behind the curtain have backgrounds that are so radical that they would never have made it past the first few days of a campaign. Additionally, they are life-long community organizers and they know what kind of face can be effective if you wish to radically change the nation. First, you need a black man to gain the support of the vast black minority. Second, you need a pale skinned black man so as not to be too much of a threat to white Americans. For the same reasons, you need a mixed race man who allies himself with the poor and down-trodden. And you need someone who speaks well enough to co-opt the language of the right and appear to be a uniter, not a divider. Someone who sees, or at least can articulate, both sides of an issue.. This is the kind of man you would pick to be your front man so that while you move things drastically and dramatically left, the vast majority of Americans will not believe that was the intention of the moderate appearing front man.
Yes, Obama was a community organizer. Yes, he could be clever enough to have all this be his idea. But he really wasn't a community organizer for that long. And when he was, he didn't do anything truly radical. It was more a time during which he was being trained than a time when he was driven by a personal sense of commitment to anything in particular. There are people who are now in his government who have been community organizers and radical left wing activists for 20-30 years. These people have deeply ingrained commitments to changing the system and have been actively trying to do so for all that time. Obama is not one of them. In my view, Obama has been trained and used as a puppet by others for a long time. His successes seem to have come too easily, as if they have been orchestrated. His life appears to have been pre-planned. I mean, Harvard Law Review without publishing a single paper of note. That is unusual. A community organizer for a short time, a State legislator for a few years, a freshman US Senator, a convention key-note speaker, and then POTUS. How does that happen? A person with zero governmental administrative experience is running the entire government of the United States. How do 1100 page documents get developed and put out in such short order? Who is writing all these proposals? Does it not seem that something is just not quite right here? Forget about the specifics of the policies for the moment. Have you seen this level of activity in the first few months of any other administration in your lifetime? Does Obama seem like the kind of person that could manage this level of activity in so short a time? Too much does not make sense here. So, slowly but surely, I am becoming convinced that it is not Barack Obama who is running the show. The White House has been captured by a group of people who are using Barack Obama as their front man. He is nothing but an articulate but empty suit. We have to start looking behind the curtains to find out who is really controlling the "great and powerful Obama".

Something to think about...

3 things are necessary for the Marxists to control us completely.

Over at the Snooper Report, Mark writes about the recent U.S. Senate vote that will overhaul health care as we know it... "an abomination" to say the least. [Read full article here.]

Dean comments:
3 things are necessary for the Marxists to control us completely.
1.) Money
2.) Health
3.) Food (Emphasis mine. Norm.)

Money and health are already under their control. All that remains is controlling the food supply and we can kiss our liberty good-bye. ...

Dear Dean,

Guess what? You're right on the money! But the sleeze-bags are one step ahead of you! Check out "H.R. 875: Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009" which can best be described by Ozarks Boy, "...House Bill 875, which is sponsored by Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), seeks to reduce or eliminate the danger of distance by establishing a new federal Food Safety Administration (FSA) that would superintend and regulate all food production facilities, from the smallest farms to the biggest processors. In other words, HB 875 would give the federal government dictatorial authority over the entire food chain of the USA." (Emphasis mine. Norm)
