I posted on the Japan thread the statements of the Surgeon General in the SF Bay Area who thought buying potassium iodine tablets was a good idea while the State of California Health Officials were trying to stop people from rushing out and buying them. It isn't needed as it is 5000 miles to USA from Japan! Another Obama appointment who wasn't briefed http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Surgeon-General-Buying-Iodine-Appropriate-118031559.html The incompetence of this Administration grows. |

MAYBE HE IS MORE "BRILLIANT THAN WE GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR!
With exception for a few bows, I have not seen anything that indicates we will ever develop stronger "ties" in the region, especially if that plan starts by alienating all the ties we presently have. What country in the Middle East do we have left besides Iraq and maybe some of Afghanistan??? The ONLY dominant leaders the Shi'ites have are all extremists, wanting to kill Jews and all non-Muslims. Maybe our Emperor is more brilliant than we dreamed he could be, sorta like an enemy from within. Edited by kbp, Mar 16 2011, 03:29 PM.

"Unlike the overthrow of dictators in Tunisia and Egypt, and the attempted overthrow of a dictator in Libya, the unrest in Bahrain is sectarian: Shi'ite v Sunni." The troubles in Egypt and Tunisia has Shi'ites at the heart of it, I'm not sure about Libya. |

Reading through this thread tells me that Obama is starting to figure out that being POTUS is a lot more difficult then being a "community organizer". Obama as community organizer relied on the advice of Frank Marshall Davis, Bill Ayers, Rev. Wright, the Midwest Academy, to name a few. Now as POTUS, he has appointed as Czars or advisors, people that think like Davis, Ayers and Wright. People like Obama feel comfortable in the socialist community of his mentors and their element of community organizing, who want redistribution of wealth. Obama as persident only wants to represent the socialist in our society, not America as a whole, so what do we end up with a divided nation socialist v capitalist. What made America a great nation, I don't believe it was socialism. IMHO, Obama wanted to be president for the power, priviledge and entertainment, not to take on the responsibilities of the office. |

One of Zero's brilliant underlings, Gaitner. Geithner says Congress must raise debt limit (Reuters) - Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said on Wednesday that there was no alternative except for Congress to raise the debt ceiling so that the government can keep borrowing. "Congress has to do it. There's no alternative," he said in response to questions at a House of Representatives appropriations subcommittee. He repeated a warning that it would be have "catastrophic" consequences for the economy if the debt ceiling was not raised and the country defaulted on its debt obligations. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/16/us-usa-treasury-geithner-debt-idUSTRE72F7WQ20110316 |

Obama the invisible Anti-leadership amid world crises Where is the president? The world is beset. Moammar Khadafy is moving relentlessly to crush the Libyan revolt that once promised the overthrow of one of the world's most despicable regimes. So where is the president? Japan may be on the verge of a disaster that dwarfs any we have yet seen. A self-governing nation like the United States needs its leader to take full measure of his position at times of crises when the path forward is no longer clear. This is not a time for leadership; this is the time for leadership. So where is Barack Obama? The moment demands that he rise to the challenge of showing America and the world that he is taking the reins. How leaders act in times of unanticipated crisis, in which they do not have a formulated game plan and must instead navigate in treacherous waters, defines them. Obama is defining himself in a way that will destroy him. It is not merely that he isn't rising to the challenge. He is avoiding the challenge. He is Bartleby the President. He would prefer not to. He has access to a microphone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If he tells the broadcast networks in the middle of the day that he has a major address to deliver on an unprecedented world situation, they will cancel their programming for him. And yet, since Friday and a press conference in which he managed to leave the American position on Libya more muddled than it was before, we have not heard his voice. Except in a radio address -- he talked about education legislation. And he appeared at a fund-raiser in DC. And sat down with ESPN to reveal his NCAA picks. He cannot go on like this. Niall Ferguson, the very pessimistic economic historian, wrote the other day that the best we can now hope for is that Obama leaves the country in the same kind of shape that Jimmy Carter left it in....snipped http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/opedcolumnists/obama_the_invisible_Ass40MBstf15MAr9DYAORK We have a big problem!

As inflations builds up and dollars keep flowing, the ONLY hope they have is for tax revenues to increase and/or spending drops. As for defaulting on debt obligations, Ben has that covered even if the tax dollars left without increased debt is not directed to cover such. He has already told us he is fabricating $600 billion to buy Treasury's with, and those notes can be new US debt for sale or previously issued that is traded every day. If our debt is not raised, Ben can ONLY buy previously sold notes, even as they mature. Edited by kbp, Mar 16 2011, 06:42 PM.

A little more on the brilliance at work. It's worth the time to read, and while doing so recall that former President Bill Clinton has been making a few remarks lately that are not showing much support for Obama. |

State monitor orders Asbury's Barack Obama School closed![]() ASBURY PARK — The state fiscal monitor who oversees financial operations in the school district Thursday morning ordered the closing of the Barack H. Obama Elementary School as of July 1. Students next year will go to the district's two other more modern elementary schools -- Thurgood Marshall on the east side and Bradley on the west side. Bruce Rodman, the monitor, made the decision after the school board in recent weeks failed to support a plan by Schools Superintendent Denise Lowe to reconfigure elementary grades to create early childhood learning centers in the district, a plan which would have kept the Obama school open. Officially renamed early in 2010 after the president, the building was known as the Bangs Avenue School since it was built a century ago. The state School Development Authority had planned to build a new school to replace the historic building, but has pulled back and Lowe said recently the state would not build a new school....snipped http://www.app.com/article/20110317/NJNEWS/110317060/State-monitor-orders-Asbury-s-Barack-Obama-School-closed Mm, mmm, mm!

I guess that tosses Mrs. Obama into this thread also. Can't wait to read about Democrats using this to justify doing less health care for a higher cost - you'll live longer! |

Might there be a correlation with the fact that people in Britain walk a lot more than in the US. That's my impression, and not something I can verify by fact. But in the cities and in the countryside, people tend to walk wherever they can. |

Perhaps comparing the life expectancy of Britons with the life expectancy of Americans of British ancestry could be revealing. Or Swedes in Sweden vs. Swedes here - or some such politically incorrect thing.

Most of tax cut going down workers' gas tanks Which will we hear first? 1. ‘with the deep economical recession that I inherited ‘ 2. ‘it would have been much worse’ 3. ‘the necessity for a bipartisan …being ignored’ 4. 'the additional stimulus needed' Edited by kbp, Mar 29 2011, 04:30 PM.
