See previous blog for an excerpt!  I will do something really &#8220;cool&#8221; for the person who helps me sell the most books!</span><span>
<p>The industry that was&#8221; too big to fail&#8221; has &#8216;one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.&#8217; Today <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/rbssConsumerGoodsAndRetailNews/idUSN0139857520090601">GM announced</a> that they can no longer sucker the American taxpayer to keep the lights on and filed for bankruptcy.  Further auto industry news comes as self-appointed Chrysler CEO, Barack Hussein Obama has authorized the fire sale of Chrysler.</p>
<p>The <em>War on Achievement</em> wages on.  Twenty billion dollars invested in GM during &#8220;<span style="font-style:italic;">The New Dark But Not Alan Keyes Dark Ages</span>,&#8221; and hardworking American taxpayers don&#8217;t even get t-shirts.  Rumor is Obama plans on giving GM another fifty billion dollars to help with the bankruptcy…<em>transition</em>.  That&#8217;s twenty billion less than Chrysler is supposedly got…to <em>transition</em>.  Apparently transitioning into bankruptcy is where the money is, during the <em>Era of Brown Underwear</em>.</p>
<p>I can now see how idiotic an idea it would have been to—allow the free market system to deal with GM and Chrysler.  I wonder what the outcome would have been had GM and Chrysler been left to their own demise?  I&#8217;m guessing bankruptcy.  It would appear that $100B ain&#8217;t what it used to be in propping up poorly run unionized companies.  But who are American taxpayers to complain&#8211;it&#8217;s not our money, it&#8217;s <span style="font-style:italic;">Obama</span>&#8216;s!  Don&#8217;t believe me, then compare you &#8220;Date Night&#8221; to his.</p>
<p>We can&#8217;t have the American taxpayers saving tens of billions of dollars in the <em>Era of Brown Underwear</em>. The chief architect of America&#8217;s new bankrupt economy, Obama would have to be twice as smart to be a half wit.  Buy high, sell low is the Obama way.  And that is exactly what Italian auto-maker Fiat has done.  They will get the best part of Chrysler.  <em>The Italians always get all the sexy stuff</em>.</p>
<p>The irony is that Fiat had to borrow $1B from GM a few years back—actually they borrowed the money from us—the American taxpayer.  You might find it interesting that with Obama&#8217;s new budget we could have purchased <em>everything</em> produced in Italy in 2008 [Pricetag:  $2.4T], and still have money to burn!</p>
<p></span><span>
<p>The whole &#8220;too big to fail&#8221; theory makes Obama the boy who cried wolf.  <em>Crisis management</em> is what Rahm Emanuel calls it.  To paraphrase the United Negro College Fund commercial:  &#8220;A [crisis] is a terrible thing to waste.&#8221;  And so is a presidency.</p>
<p>We are in the era of complete transparency, so they tell me.  I believe them—because I can see right through this administration.  As with all things involving The Illusionist, The Big Zero—there is more than meets the eye.  And what bothers me the most is that the UAW appears to be happy, in fact <em>giddy</em>.  You would think that with your industry about to blow up, you would hear more moaning and groaning.  But they are not.  I think I know why.</p>
<p>In case you are wondering where all those <em>billions</em> are going, I can tell you that one of my best friends who worked at Chrysler visited my home the other day.  He had not a care in the world, and in fact had the demeanor of a guy who has the world by the short hairs.  Chrysler&#8217;s bankruptcy hasn&#8217;t affected him in the <em>least</em>.  Butter his behind and called him Biscuit—my buddy was on a roll.</p>
<p>During the push-pull on-again-off-again job schedule he had over the past months, he made out like a bandit.  He drew 75% of his income from Chrysler, when not working.  He had insurance that made up the rest.  While not working, he got his hustle going—ironically, working on cars.</p>
<p>He recently got married—on the beach in Florida—leaving the resort to take a honeymoon cruise to the Bahamas.  He bought her a very nice rock, and a matching necklace.  However, his present to his new bride was that he had paid off <em>all</em> his bills—his debt being her chief complaint of him, while he was gainfully employed.  When people lose their jobs, there is supposed to be crying and wailing, and uncertainty.  But my auto-industry friends for the most part are not sweating what I would consider devastating news.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the wrap:</p>
<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/SiRg9QNhVMI/AAAAAAAABPY/jt0-JgYh_Nw/s1600-h/red-tag-gm.jpg"><img style="float:right;cursor:pointer;width:237px;height:320px;margin:0 0 10px 10px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/SiRg9QNhVMI/AAAAAAAABPY/jt0-JgYh_Nw/s320/red-tag-gm.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Where is the liberal outrage in a 100 year old industry being cannibalized?  Michael &#8220;Less Is&#8221; Moore began his career by demonizing the closing of <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>one</em></span> GM factory in Flint, MI.  His groundbreaking story featured the devastation to a small town when it lost its largest employer.  For those of you smart enough not to waste your time watching a Moore &#8220;crapumentary,&#8221; I will cut to the chase.  When a small town loses its largest employer, as my grandfather used to say, &#8220;It&#8217;s tough on old folks!&#8221;</p>
<p>Moore blamed GM for killing this small town, the idea being that GM had a responsibility to continue to lose money manufacturing autos in Flint.  For Moore, the closing of that one plant was as if a meteor the size of Texas was headed towards Earth.  Yet we don&#8217;t hear a <em>peep</em> from him, when the industry is practically destroyed.  Let me guess:  (1) He may be spending the millions of dollars he has made trumping up pseudo hypocrisies.  Or (2) he is too busy feeding his face.  Or <em>both</em>.  Point:  Moore knows when to not pick a fight.</p>
<p>Under ObamaNation, two American industry icons perch at the precipice, looking into the abyss.  Unlike Obama reported about the economy, Chrysler and GM are not stepping back, but instead are doing a &#8220;louie,&#8221; taking the plunge.</p>
<p>Thankfully we have a pseudo-black president, so we don&#8217;t have to hear the liberals blame it on some white republican boogeyman.  But don&#8217;t expect the liberals or media to point out the <span style="font-style:italic;">real</span> boogeyman to us.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s my rant!</p>

<div class="MsoNormal"></div>
<h1 style="margin-top:6pt;">Excerpt from <i>The Big Black Lie </i><span style="font-variant:small-caps;">and how i learned the truth about the democrat party</span></h1>
<div class="MsoNormal"></div>
<h1 align="center" style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:center;">The Sins of the Father</h1>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-top:7pt;">I didn’t see my father for many years after he and my mother separated and ultimately divorced. I would learn that he was a womanizer, an incestuous rapist, an alcoholic, a drug addict, a gangster, a pimp-wannabe, a thief, a convict, a child molester, and a murderer.</div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-top:8pt;">I was fortunate not to learn most of what my father did until much later in life. However, when I did learn of my father’s past, I couldn’t help but question what part of him might lurk within me. With all this baggage and plethora of built-in excuses, I am amazed that I did not become a Democrat.</div>
<div class="CenteredEmphasis">&#8220;The gods visit the sins of the fathers upon the children&#8221; &#8211; Euripides<a href="http://draft.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=2945339189639849796#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><b><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:11pt;"></span></b></a></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">I wanted to know what made my dad the way he was. Unfortunately, since I didn’t grow up knowing my father’s family, I didn’t have much history. My paternal grandfather came once to visit my brother and me on the ranch where we were raised. I was around nine years-old at the time; that was the one and only time I ever saw and spoke with him in person.</div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align:center;margin:0 0 12pt;"></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">I learned that my paternal grandfather was an alcoholic, who would arrive home most nights in a drunken stupor. Bloody from the beatings of street predators of Indianapolis, my grandfather lost both his money and a piece of his soul. Unknown to them, they were slowly stealing the innocence of the two young boys who waited at home for the man who was supposed to be their idol, their protector, their provider, their <i>father</i>. Seeing their daddy beaten and bloodied would breed a rage in these two boys that would later be unleashed on the world. They were two boiling cauldrons, destined to bubble over and vomit their murky contents into society.</div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">My father would do a stint in prison for armed robbery, as did my uncle. Many of my male cousins on my father’s side are convicts, who lived very similar lives. Most of their crimes involved drugs, and in some cases more serious offenses. Chances are, had I not been raised by my maternal grandparents, I would have had a similar fate. In fact, I would bet on it.</div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-top:7pt;">Being a Jackson&nbsp;in Indianapolis or Bloomington Indiana essentially put a target on your back; the cops were extra vigilant when it came to dealing with the Jacksons. Many in law enforcement had sent Jackson&nbsp;family men scurrying from Indiana to less prosecutorial climes.</div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-top:7pt;">Then there were the street thugs with unresolved street grudges. One of which grew into an actual plan to kill one of my uncles. To this day, he is unaware of just how close to death he actually came. I learned the story from a cousin.</div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-top:7pt;">Many of the female cousins on my father’s side who had significant interaction with my father are in relationships with men very similar to him, or unable to maintain healthy relationships with decent men. Relationships are tough. But my father has definitely impacted the women in our family negatively. On the bright side, a few of my female cousins actually did discover exactly what type of man they <i>didn’t</i> want, as a result of being around my father. That’s a costly way to look for the “good” in a situation. But I have learned that where my father is concerned, I take whatever good I can find.</div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-top:7pt;">As for relationships, my brother has been with the same woman since he was nineteen. Unfortunately my track record is a bit bumpier. I’ve been married twice, with a couple of “common law” situations as well. But my interaction with women is nothing like that of my father. In fact, I grew up with a healthy respect for women, because of my grandmother.</div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-top:7pt;">How much of me I credit to my dad I am not quite sure; his blood does course through my veins. It makes me wonder sometimes—actually a <i>lot</i> of the time. Seeing or hearing about him with a different woman during each visit or phone conversation most likely impacted me, though it doesn’t seem to have affected my brother in the same way.</div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">I have never used drugs, and am a social drinker at best. I have been drunk only twice in my life. I womanized during a period of my life, and even shoplifted a couple of times as a teenager, but eventually overcame both of those impulses as I matured. I have wanted to kill a few people, but only figuratively.</div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-top:7pt;">When you don’t know your history, you question: What part is nature; what part nurture?</div>
<div class="CenteredEmphasis">“Even a broken clock is right twice a day.<b>&#8221; &#8211; </b>anon<a href="http://draft.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=2945339189639849796#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" title=""><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:11pt;"></span></a></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/SiGzitATUWI/AAAAAAAABOw/tP1FCRjcOJc/s1600-h/csad_2007.jpg"><img style="float:right;cursor:pointer;width:245px;height:320px;margin:0 0 10px 10px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/SiGzitATUWI/AAAAAAAABOw/tP1FCRjcOJc/s320/csad_2007.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>I had to laugh when I read in a <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124362745408767285.html">Wall Street Journal article</a> that Obama says our data systems may be under constant attack. Our <span style="font-style:italic;">country </span>is under constant attack—from <span style="font-style:italic;">Obama</span>!<br /><span>
<p>He may not have provided transparency in <span style="font-style:italic;">legislation</span>, but Obama has no problem providing transparency to our enemies on CIA interrogation techniques&#8211;at least when it makes America look bad.  Don&#8217;t fret America, because Obama has given the CIA tough, new, highly classified&#8230; <em>words.  </em> It was leaked to me that one of the words is &#8220;latte&#8221;—promise not to re-leak that.  I shudder to think what the man-made disasters will do when they hear, &#8220;The password is…<span style="font-style:italic;">latte</span>!&#8221;</p>
<p>As for other attacks by Obama on America, Obama has been very open about his global agenda.  In fact when he was in Europe, he not only <em>recognized</em> The New World Order, he told the world to send us bill for our membership dues—what the heck let&#8217;s just pick up the tab for everybody, just like the UN.  It&#8217;s only money.  And the US has <span style="font-style:italic;">big</span> printing presses – <em></em>and lots of &#8216;em.</p>
<p>What better way to attack from within than to dismantle the military.  Obama was honest about this attack on American sovereignty, prior to the election. And he has been nice enough to give us an alternative—&#8221;the civilian equivalent&#8221; of the military, and &#8220;<span style="font-style:italic;">just as strong</span>.&#8221;</p>
<p>As for the <span style="font-style:italic;">original </span>military, an ideological attack occurred when Obama rescinded &#8220;Don&#8217;t ask, don&#8217;t tell.&#8221;  After this, strategy called for a <span style="font-style:italic;">full frontal assault</span>.  So Obama slashed the military budget, then inquired about taking Vets off the VA dole.  This would have required soldiers injured in combat to utilize their <span style="font-style:italic;">spouses </span>insurance or something else—just don&#8217;t ask the <span style="font-style:italic;">government </span>to take care of you!  <span style="font-style:italic;">What is ya, ignant</span>?</p>
<p>The war against America&#8217;s military continued, when Obama authorized his Secretary of Homeland Security, Napolitano to declare our veterans as potential man-made disasters.   I&#8217;m happy to now know who our true potential enemies are.  I was under the delusion that the military <span style="font-style:italic;">protects </span>America.  I left government school in the 9th grade to attend the Marine Military Academy, the likely source of this idiotic concept. <span style="font-style:italic;">Napolitano later apologized for people mistaking what she said</span>.  Huh?  Yep!</p>
<p>Not that America needs any more overt declarations of war from Obama, but that didn&#8217;t stop him.  He has come out firmly against torture, threatening even to go after the previous administration for protecting America after we were attacked on 9-11.  With respect to how he himself can handle man-made disasters, Obama did reserve the right to reinstate The Bush Doctrine on torture—should it suddenly become politically expedient.  For now, however he is against it—that is unless he decides to be for it.</p>
<p>Any good war strategist knows that one must undermine the currency, as part of a good all-encompassing strategy against the enemy, in this case America.  Obama is winning &#8216;the battle within&#8217; on this front, spending our nation into oblivion!  We are surpassed only by Zimbabwe (another country with an African ruler) at this point.</p>
<p>Obama has reduced our number of potential lenders from dozens to just a handful.  Our largest creditor, China has us on credit hold, demanding that we cut up our <span style="font-style:italic;">China Express </span>credit card.  And if one communist country sounding the warning bell isn&#8217;t enough, we have the Russians saying to the world that betting on America is no longer smart business—it&#8217;s stupid in fact.  Nations are debating whether the dollar should be the global currency, given its future prospects.  But the war doesn&#8217;t end here.</p>
<p>There is <span style="font-style:italic;">The War on Achievement</span>.  Obama has removed incentive for Americans to want to do better.  Companies too big to fail are <span style="font-style:italic;">seized</span>.  CEOs are working for $1, and those who are not might be capped at $500K.  Failing companies get bailouts, successful companies get threatened.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the wrap:</p>
<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/SiG0FqkLduI/AAAAAAAABO4/Mt4ca2jUAFQ/s1600-h/barackberry.jpg"><img style="float:left;cursor:pointer;width:186px;height:320px;margin:0 10px 10px 0;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/SiG0FqkLduI/AAAAAAAABO4/Mt4ca2jUAFQ/s320/barackberry.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></span></span></span></span></span></span>Frankly, with all the internal wars being waged <span style="font-style:italic;">by </span>Obama <span style="font-style:italic;">against</span> America, I say to cyber thieves, &#8220;Stand down.&#8221;  Why bother doing against America what is already being successful done from within&#8230;by the guy with the keys to the kingdom?! Obama is doing a better job of destroying America than all hackers, foreign and domestic—<span style="font-style:italic;">combined</span>.</p>
<p>For those of you who believe that Obama is setting up some innocent new department—think again.  This is the same guy who won two elections by having divorce records of his opponents made public.</p>
<p>When you think of this new department, think New World Order.   Think Obama having ready access to information on <span style="font-style:italic;">extremists</span>.  Information he can access and disseminate at the touch of a few buttons.</p>
<p>Note that Obama isn&#8217;t relinquishing <em>his</em> blackberry.  No national security threat with Obama being connected to six million ignorant zombies (and growing)? All these zombies are just a few keystrokes from access to the nation&#8217;s secrets or could be <em>given</em> access to certain information.</p>
<p>The rest of us will just have to rely on Joe Biden.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s my rant!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/SiAwFmEbFgI/AAAAAAAABOg/MdmCBTl5F3U/s1600-h/bankrupt.jpg"><img style="float:right;cursor:pointer;width:320px;height:240px;margin:0 0 10px 10px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/SiAwFmEbFgI/AAAAAAAABOg/MdmCBTl5F3U/s320/bankrupt.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Obama did an interview with Steve Scully of C-SPAN on May 23<br /><span>
<p style="margin-left:36pt;"><em>SCULLY: You know the numbers, $1.7 trillion debt, a national deficit of $11 trillion. At what point do we run out of money?</p>
<p>OBAMA: Well, we are out of money now. We are operating in deep deficits, not caused by any decisions we&#8217;ve made on health care so far.<br /></em></p>
<p>Just four days later on  May 27, Obama told donors and celebrities at the Beverly Hilton Hotel at a fundraiser:</p>
<p style="margin-left:36pt;"><em>&#8220;It&#8217;s safe to say we have stepped back from the brink, that there is some calm that didn&#8217;t exist before…&#8221;<br /></em></p>
<p>I think what he <em>meant</em> to say is &#8220;…<span style="font-style:italic;">the economy is expected to jump—and I don&#8217;t mean &#8216;for joy&#8217;</span>.&#8221;  What do you think he would have said to a group of ex-Chrysler dealership employees?</p>
<p>Yet again, Obama invites you to dinner for steak, then serves up &#8220;turdburgers.&#8221; And the lamestream media is ready and willing to help him. They are busy covering biting issues like Biden&#8217;s teleprompter comments and other gaffes, a racist unqualified Supreme Court nominee, and a priest converting from Catholic to Episcopalian.  These more pressing issues appear to have trumped the <em>little</em> things like—the potential for nuclear war with North Korea.    Oh, and there is that pesky <em>multi</em>-<span style="font-style:italic;">trillion </span>dollar deficit, that hasn&#8217;t been discussed in quite some time!</p>
<p>Fear not fellow infidels, because though we are out of money, the economy has stepped back from the precipice!  If you haven&#8217;t appreciated it up to this point, hopefully you are learning to love <span style="font-style:italic;">liberal lunatic logic</span>. It does leave conservatives scratching our heads!  Liberals however, are easily misled to believe that the economy has indeed &#8220;talked itself out of suicide,&#8221; particularly those with more money than sense!</p>
<p>Despite Obama&#8217;s inability to pick a non-criminal and competent cabinet, his bankrupting of America, and his shredding of The Constitution, there are people (guess who?) who want this buffoon to have <a href="http://www.end22.com/"><em>unlimited terms</em></a>!</p>
<p>[Hat tip to Cris] There is a movement afoot to <em>remove term limits</em>, thus allowing Obama to <em>officially</em> become&#8230;a <span style="font-style:italic;">god</span>. An excerpt from the website:</p>
<p style="margin-left:36pt;"><em>&#8220;During the last Great Crisis Franklin Delano Roosevelt led America out of the Great Depression and through World War II. Today, Barack Obama leads us through the worst Economic Crisis since the Great Depression and leads the War on Terror.<br /></em></p>
<p style="margin-left:36pt;"><em>We are wise enough to choose our own leader and to decide how long that leader will serve.&#8221;<br /></em></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the wrap:</p>
<p><span><span><span><span><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/SiAwMwnBDAI/AAAAAAAABOo/39m-ZlHTc4w/s1600-h/Obama-and-Adolf-Hitler.jpeg"><img style="float:left;cursor:pointer;width:240px;height:320px;margin:0 10px 10px 0;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/SiAwMwnBDAI/AAAAAAAABOo/39m-ZlHTc4w/s320/Obama-and-Adolf-Hitler.jpeg" alt="" border="0" /></a></span></span></span></span><span><span>If I were a conspiracy theorist, I might think this resembles Nazi Germany. Civilian equivalent of the military, socialization of industry, youth brigades, control of the banks, to name a few things.  Hmmm&#8230;<br /></span></span></p>
<p>In a stroke of irony, the &#8220;repeal amendment 22 crowd&#8221; put Obama next to a picture of yet another racist Democrat—FDR.  Coincidentally aside from sharing FDR&#8217;s racist views, Obama shares his economic views&#8211;though the site did neglect to mention Obama&#8217;s <em>War on Achievement</em>:  Obama&#8217;s corollary to FDR&#8217;s <span style="font-style:italic;">Raw Deal</span>.</p>
<p>Like FDR, it won&#8217;t surprise me if Obama wins a third term. All the cogs (ACORN, media, ignorant populace) are in place. After the 3<sup>rd</sup> term he will want to break the record and get a fourth term—because records were made to be broken&#8211;sort of like <span style="font-style:italic;">laws</span>.</p>
<p>Finally like Hitler, Obama will just usurp the role of <em>Der Fuhrer</em> of Amerika, and we can all start learning Austrian.</p>
<p>The similarities to Hitler do disappear at this point.   Unlike Hitler, Obama doesn&#8217;t want to take over the world.  He just wants to <span style="font-style:italic;">run </span>it from Amerika&#8211;with our tax dollars. And remember, it doesn&#8217;t matter that we have no money. We have returned from the brink. That means there&#8217;s more money to be had.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s my rant!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/Sh1NBs_rgeI/AAAAAAAABOM/T96FjNcTLAI/s1600-h/SpecterObama.jpg"><img style="float:left;cursor:pointer;width:320px;height:265px;margin:0 10px 10px 0;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/Sh1NBs_rgeI/AAAAAAAABOM/T96FjNcTLAI/s320/SpecterObama.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>One guess as to why Colin Powell says he&#8217;s &#8220;still a Republican.&#8221;  In case you didn&#8217;t guess right, here&#8217;s your answer.  <em>He doesn&#8217;t want to be treated like Arlen Specter</em>!  To put it gingerly, Specter got &#8220;punked in&#8221; to the Democrat Party.  Thus we begin—A Prison Tale!<span>
<p style="margin-left:18pt;"><em>Specter is the new &#8220;chubby cheeks&#8221; in prison, and the Democrats are the Aryan Nation gang.  The Dems assign a handler (Schumer) to help Specter see the need to join the gang.  Schumer explains that Specter as a white man shouldn&#8217;t be associating with the party that gave blacks their freedom, and passed all laws protecting blacks.  (The Republican Party for all you ignorant Democrats and liberals)  &#8220;That just doesn&#8217;t look good,&#8221; Schumer explains.<br /></em></p>
<p style="margin-left:18pt;"><em>Specter, having accomplished little to help blacks as a Republican sees the futility of his situation.  Attracted by the cool lightning bolt tattoos, and a few smokes, Specter joins the Democrat Aryan Nation (DAN).  DAN promptly slaps a wig and some lipstick on Specter—if sensitive, you might want to turn away here—and they all have their way with him.<br /></em></p>
<p>That is how racist Democrats treat <em>white</em><span style="font-weight:bold;"> </span>&#8220;Republicans&#8221; who defect.  Imagine what they would do to an &#8220;uppity Negro&#8221; [LBJ quote]—though Powell is considered &#8220;<span style="font-style:italic;">high yellow</span>.&#8221;</p>
<p>While we are on the subject of color, a lot of you likely think that I am kidding about how racist Democrats view blacks—I am not.  Contrast the treatment of Powell—a relatively light-skinned black, to Alan Keyes—a rather dark black gentlemen.</p>
<p>Both are stated Republicans.  Yet one Republican is treated with respect and admiration, while the other is treated with total disdain.  You can do the math on who is who.</p>
<p>Racist Democrats can tolerate a black—as long as he&#8217;s not &#8220;<em>too black</em>.&#8221;  Many meddlist whites made comments that by not voting for Obama in the last election, Republicans were racists.  Yet you couldn&#8217;t find any of these true racist meddlist whites who voted for Keyes…the <em>real</em> black man!  And Keyes ran back as early as 1996.  Where were the racist Democrats back <span style="font-style:italic;">then</span>, or the so-called Moderates?</p>
<p>And don&#8217;t think black people get a pass.  Blacks have their own &#8220;color test.&#8221;  Vote for the light-skinned snake oil salesman with no credentials over a true patriot like Keyes—then have the nerve to call whites the racists! More blacks play Bridge than voted for Keyes.  I guess he was just a little too black, even for <span style="font-style:italic;">black </span>folks?  Don&#8217;t tell me you differ philosophically, conservative black person who ignorantly votes Democrat, ergo &#8220;liberal&#8221;?</p>
<p>Powell is well aware there is no love for Republicans who switch to join the ranks of racist Democrats.    After the switch you get fifteen seconds of fame.  Paraded around the prison yard like the new kid in town&#8211;followed by a lifetime of &#8220;gender confusion&#8221;.  &#8220;<em>Just because they did that to me doesn&#8217;t make me gay does it</em>?&#8221; No General, it just makes you stupid!</p>
<p>And after the unnatural act, the Democrats are quick to cast you amongst the Sodomites—Gen-Pop (General Population).  There you are ridiculed.  Fair game for the <em>real</em> prison predators—in this metaphor—<em>the mainstream media</em>.</p>
<p>And the Democrats and the lamestream media are happy to roll Powell out as the poster boy of &#8220;what the Republican Party needs&#8221;.  He is treated like &#8220;the voice of reason&#8221; in a party in turmoil.  Powell reward is a lucrative hustle.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the wrap:</p>
<p><span><span><span><span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/Sh1NXu_bhNI/AAAAAAAABOU/zKjO9zxwJlQ/s1600-h/Colin-Powell+as+Mama.JPG"><img style="float:right;cursor:pointer;width:261px;height:320px;margin:0 0 10px 10px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/Sh1NXu_bhNI/AAAAAAAABOU/zKjO9zxwJlQ/s320/Colin-Powell+as+Mama.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a></span></span></span></span>Anybody who believes Powell was ever a <em>real</em> Republican needs to get off the hallucinogenic drugs, and this includes Powell himself.  Just because he said it, doesn&#8217;t make it so. I have demoted the General to Private and suggest he seek treatment.  He has caught the disease of liberalism.</p>
<p>Powell is no more a Republican than Karl Marx.  He just knows how much the liberals and the media love Republicans who take a <span style="font-style:italic;">furlough </span>from the reservation—but come back.  If Powell declared his real affiliation, Democrat, he would quickly become just another black Democrat, in a sea of black Democrats.  A &#8220;no big deal.&#8221;  By remaining (whatever) Republican, he can be a thorn in the side of the Republicans.  A finger in the eye from time to time.  A rock in the shoe.</p>
<p>Like with Specter, the Democrat Aryan Nation has handlers for Powell.  He is being courted <span><span>by ignorant liberals such as Keith Olberhack and Rachel Madcow </span></span>to make that move.  I say to Powell don&#8217;t slip in the shower or pick up the soap, yes watch your back Bro.  Because DAN stands ready to &#8220;punk in&#8221; Powell.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s my rant!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/ShwGEwMYL4I/AAAAAAAABN0/3eJC-Ui4XX4/s1600-h/sonia_sotomayor.jpg"><img style="float:left;cursor:pointer;width:227px;height:320px;margin:0 10px 10px 0;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/ShwGEwMYL4I/AAAAAAAABN0/3eJC-Ui4XX4/s320/sonia_sotomayor.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Obama decided today to make the announcement for his appointment to the Supreme Court.  He has selected Sonia Sotomayor.  I must say that I find both his <em>choice</em> and <em>timing</em> provocative.<br /><span>
<p>Since the announcement of Souter&#8217;s retirement, there hasn&#8217;t been a lot of time to vet potential Supreme Court candidates, particularly when you consider that these are <em>lifetime</em> appointments.  Frankly I&#8217;m amazed that Obama found the time to vet <em>anybody</em> given his busy schedule.</p>
<p>When Obama is not saving the world (with American taxpayer money) he busies himself with those $100 per pound beef dinners.  Then there is picking his brackets for the Final Four, and hanging with the Pittsburgh Steelers. </p>
<p>Next we were privy to the White House Press video of &#8220;O&#8221; shooting hoops with the UConn women&#8217;s basketball team.  Can&#8217;t pass up shooting hoops, stereotypical though it may appear.   And finally who could forget all those commencement addresses?</p>
<p>With all those pressing issues, I can see how Obama has decided not to address issues like Israel potentially attacking Iran&#8217;s nuclear facilities or North Korea&#8217;s recent nuclear test.  Thankfully Obama has put these issues on the backburner.  Lord knows, we need to fast-track Sotomayor.  <em>It&#8217;s a crisis</em>!</p>
<p>Anyway when it comes to Obama&#8217;s appointments, we&#8217;ve gotten use to the idea of &#8220;do-overs.&#8221;  Anybody willing to bet that Sotomayor doesn&#8217;t blow up in Obama&#8217;s face?  Vegas set the odds on what could potentially upend her appointment as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Unpaid taxes (3-2)</li>
<li>Husband getting kickbacks (4-1)</li>
<li>Stupid Liberal Ideas (1-100)</li>
</ul>
<p>Obama is shrewd.  By appointing a Puerto Rican woman,  he gets a &#8220;two-fer&#8221;.  In this way he placates both Hispanics <em>and</em> women&#8217;s groups.  <em>Really</em>?</p>
<p>Puerto Ricans are a proud bunch, so Obama will no doubt garner the vote of the &#8220;51<sup>st</sup> state.&#8221;  It is likely that Obama feels that having a Puerto Rican will get him the Hispanic vote in general.  There are bitter rivalries amongst the Hispanics, however so the jury is still out there on this.  I say the Mexicans will not be happy, given that they outnumber Puerto Ricans by a large margin.</p>
<p>As Cleavon Little said in Blazing Saddles, &#8220;Where da white women at?&#8221;  Let&#8217;s just call the women&#8217;s groups what they are:  &#8220;<em>The White Racist Liberal Democrat Women&#8217;s—with Lots of Lesbians Too—Club.</em>&#8221;  Like this group really cares about the causes of Hispanics or women of color.  This is a powerful group of white women, like Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein, all NOW generation women, and disciples of Gloria Steinem.  Conspicuous by their absence…women of color!</p>
<p> &#8220;<em>The White Racist Liberal Democrat Women&#8217;s—with Lots of Lesbians Too—Club&#8221; </em>will publicly applaud Obama&#8217;s choice—as if it were ordained by God Himself.  However behind the scenes on the Washington Cocktail Party circuit, they will deride Obama for not having picked a white woman.   With all the elitist snobbery of this group of racist white Democrat snobs, they will ask, &#8220;Why not Hillary?&#8221; or some other liberal white woman who rode the back of a man to get to her position of power.  There are plenty of examples of those women who &#8220;made it&#8221;.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the wrap:</p>
<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/ShwGK34Gr4I/AAAAAAAABN8/MQUVXDqhEnk/s1600-h/kim+jon+il.jpg"><img style="float:right;cursor:pointer;width:320px;height:290px;margin:0 0 10px 10px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/ShwGK34Gr4I/AAAAAAAABN8/MQUVXDqhEnk/s320/kim+jon+il.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></span></span></span></span></span></span>Must blacks rely on old white Republican men to appoint more blacks on the Supreme Court?  If you can&#8217;t count on a black president to do the right &#8220;thang&#8221;, who can you count on?  With more pandering left to do by Obama—I say &#8220;Don&#8217;t sweat this, kinfolk.&#8221;</p>
<p>This appointment is subterfuge by Obama, par excellent.  It is meant to save us from witnessing Obama&#8217;s harsh, and very public torture of North Korea…with his tough <em>words</em>.  Obama needs time to deliberate on exactly what words to pull out of his arsenal to use on North Korea.  <em>I shudder to think</em>!  I&#8217;m just glad the very real Supreme Court appointment crisis is here to keep Obama <em>focused</em> and not sidetracked about the perceived crisis of the potential for nuclear holocaust.</p>
<p>Like blacks have been for decades, Hispanics are being <em>played</em> with this token appointment.  Simply put, Sotomayor is a sacrificial goat.  She has more skeletons than the National Archeological Museum of Athens, some of which are not even in the closet—they&#8217;re on <em>video</em>!  And because she is not white, I expect the mainstream media to actually do its job and give her a good Hispanic beatdown, subtle though it may be.</p>
<p>If I were a betting man, I&#8217;d take the long odds of Sotomayor <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>not</em></span> making it.  And when this story is page 18 of the D section of the paper, Sotomayor&#8217;s <em>withdrawal</em> from consideration will replace the next <em>real</em> crisis.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s my rant!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/ShuGzZTD3II/AAAAAAAABNk/fhcIxlni3cg/s1600-h/clinton+and+obama.jpg"><img style="float:left;cursor:pointer;width:320px;height:250px;margin:0 10px 10px 0;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/ShuGzZTD3II/AAAAAAAABNk/fhcIxlni3cg/s320/clinton+and+obama.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>&#8220;The <em>real</em> first black president&#8221; –Bill Clinton—is getting seriously dissed with a mission to a country that is struggling economically and is a known hot bed for HIV/AIDS.  Assigning Clinton as UN Special Envoy to Haiti is tantamount to putting a crackhead in a room full of tainted crack—pardon the pun.<br /><span>
<p>Haiti is a country with somewhere around 75% of the population lives under the poverty line, and is ranked 146 of 177 in the Human Development Index (2006).  Come to think of it, these statistics from Haiti remind me of the economic situation in Arkansas when Clinton left the governor&#8217;s office…to start pimping America!</p>
<p>Because of his support of Obama&#8217;s campaign however, Clinton likely imagined getting a cushy assignment in some Caribbean country and living in an Oceanside resort.  There were some potentially spectacular choices.  I would have narrowed to either the Dominican Republic or Trinidad, finally settling on Dominican Republic to work on my Spanish.   But Clinton negotiated Haiti.  I&#8217;m curious as to which Clinton did the negotiation on this assignment?</p>
<p>I have to believe that this was a pre-election negotiation by Obama separately with both Bill and Hillary—all parties thinking they made out like bandits.  I imagine Obama&#8217;s conversation with Bill went something like this:</p>
<p>Obama:  Bill, if you are willing to throw your hat in the ring and support my candidacy, I will do two things:  One—I will get you away from Hillary.  Two—I will make sure that she is too busy to be all up in your business.</p>
<p>Clinton:  That&#8217;s not enough.</p>
<p>Obama:  OK Bill.  In addition to my offer, I am willing to appoint you special UN envoy to a TBD Carribbean nation.  You will see Hillary so seldom, you will forget what she looks like.</p>
<p>Clinton:   That dog&#8217;ll hunt, Hoss!</p>
<p>Obama:  Deal!  But don&#8217;t call me Hoss.</p>
<p>Obama then arranges a secret meeting with Hillary that went something like this:</p>
<p>Obama:  Hillary, if you will throw your support my way, I am willing give you a high level position within my administration.</p>
<p>Hillary:  That&#8217;s not enough.</p>
<p>Obama:  So what else do you want, Hillary?</p>
<p>Hillary:  I&#8217;d like Bill out of my hair; but I want him to suffer.</p>
<p>Obama:  How about I make him a UN envoy to a &#8220;Caribbean nation?&#8221; [wink]</p>
<p>Hillary:  Barry, [wink] that would make Bill happier than a tornado in a trailer park.</p>
<p>Obama:  Deal!  But don&#8217;t call me Barry.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the wrap:</p>
<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/ShuHAQ87csI/AAAAAAAABNs/YKiSSZ4sSk0/s1600-h/bill-clinton-raped.jpg"><img style="float:right;cursor:pointer;width:294px;height:320px;margin:0 0 10px 10px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/ShuHAQ87csI/AAAAAAAABNs/YKiSSZ4sSk0/s320/bill-clinton-raped.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></span></span></span></span></span></span>The idea that Bill Clinton can help Haiti overcome poverty is just plain nutty.  Consider how Clinton left Arkansas—<em>rode hard and put up wet</em>.</p>
<p>In 2000 Arkansas ranked 50<sup>th</sup> out of 50 in Education.  I&#8217;m no linguist, however I believe in technical terms…that <em>sucks</em>!  And Arkansas remained in the bottom five of lowest median income rankings under Clinton.</p>
<p>When Clinton became president, he took his Arkansas similar approach to Africa—that would be the &#8220;I&#8217;m just a Hillbilly from Arkansas and don&#8217;t know scratch&#8221; approach.  The outcome was the death of 1,000,000 Africans on his watch.</p>
<p>300,000 of those deaths occurred while Clinton was &#8220;distracted&#8221; with the Lewinski incident.  During this time in our nation&#8217;s history, Clinton put his &#8220;spiritual advisor&#8221; Jesse Jackson in charge of Africa for a while—reparations as it were; but only for Jackson.  After all, Jackson had traveled there to watch Ali fight once.  In Democrat terms, Jackson was over-qualified.</p>
<p>Jackson&#8217;s &#8220;expertise&#8221; got ~300,000 Africans killed.  He was so well liked at the end of his tenure in Africa, that he was warned by an African head of state not to visit his country on his last trip, lest Jackson be assassinated.  Jackson had the pilot turn the plane mid trip, and took refuge in Liberia.</p>
<p>As you can imagine, Obama recognizes Clinton&#8217;s <em>leadership</em> in all this.  So Bill Clinton—the man Toni Morrison deems the nation&#8217;s &#8220;first black president&#8221;—will now be doing for Haiti what he did to Arkansas; and a few Arkansas women.  Though Bill&#8217;s is mainly interested in unattractive, chubby white chicks, I suspect Bill might show his true &#8216;color&#8217;.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s my rant!</p>

Of whom do I speak?  I speak of Cheney, a true patriot—publicly exposing Obama,  a complete fraud.<br /><span>
<p>Lamestream media to the rescue, because their messiah is getting publicly flogged.  To think that we were told how &#8220;smart&#8221; Obama is.  Well if brains were dynamite, Obama couldn&#8217;t blow his nose!  So taking on Cheney, a true intellectual with a real track record of achievement is just asking for trouble.</p>
<p>So we get reports that America is experiencing &#8220;Cheney overload.&#8221;  This is liberal code for &#8220;<em>Cheney is too effective, let&#8217;s create public opinion that he is the Anti-Christ.</em>&#8221;  Maybe the Left is tired of Cheney, but conservatives are <em>energized</em>.  I predict many fence-sitters are as well.  &#8220;<em>Feels good don&#8217;t it</em>!&#8221;</p>
<p>In confronting the worst president in history (and Obama ain&#8217;t even finished polishing his turd) Cheney was absolutely <em>brilliant</em>—the <em>epitome</em> of leadership.  Cheney has no dog in this fight, no agenda.  As he said, he has &#8220;no favors to garner.&#8221;  Cheney desires but one thing…<em>to protect America</em>.</p>
<p>He speaks with eloquence and passion—backed with <em>substance</em>!  For you liberal idiots who think the teleprompter president is riveting, take a gander at &#8220;the bad guy,&#8221; the old white Republican boogeyman.  Cheney speaks with the passion of reality, and not the fad of idealism.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, &#8220;Junior&#8221; is still trying to sell America on the idea that he is willing to do <em>anything</em> to protect America—anything <em>except</em> [fill in the blank].  In typical Obama style, he accomplishes two things in his speech:  (1) demonize the previous administration for protecting us, and (2) blame America for terrorists wanting to kill <em>us</em>.</p>
<p>According to Obama, <em>Americans</em> are barbarians, and Bush is the former Chief of the Barbarians.  Sort of like another &#8220;great&#8221; racist Democrat president Andrew Jackson calling the Native Americans &#8220;savages&#8221; for protecting their lands and families.  That makes me a proud &#8220;savage.&#8221;</p>
<p>No surprise here, but Obama wants to reserve the right to do <em>exactly</em> what the Bush administration did!  [pp]  &#8220;<em>Just in case I need to, I reserve the right to unsay what I just said, and do what Bush did.&#8221;</em>  What else is new?</p>
<p>Yet again Obama confirmed what conservatives know about liberals—they don&#8217;t love America; they <em>tolerate</em> America.  Liberals want to declare veterans and hard-working taxpaying conservatives as <em>extremists</em>; and declare terrorists as &#8220;man-made disasters.&#8221;</p>
<p>It is long overdue that somebody stepped up and confronted the lunacy of the Left.  Who better than a 40-year veteran of Washington, and no-nonsense guy like Cheney—a man of <em>real</em> accomplishment and credentials.  Cheney has forgotten more about running a country, than the no talent hack currently occupying the void will ever know.</p>
<p>Barack &#8220;Empty-suit Apologist&#8221; Obama believes that the way America treats people trying to kill us has made the people trying to kill us more determined.  <em>Really</em>?  How much more determined can you get than vowing and attempting to kill us?  Is there a level of heinous above <em>that</em>?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the wrap:</p>
<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/ShamfHlJekI/AAAAAAAABNM/3KIcqumjyI8/s1600-h/obama+fraud.jpg"><img style="float:right;cursor:pointer;width:226px;height:320px;margin:0 0 10px 10px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/ShamfHlJekI/AAAAAAAABNM/3KIcqumjyI8/s320/obama+fraud.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></span></span></span></span></span></span>Obama has produced <em>no</em> evidence that harsh interrogation didn&#8217;t work.  However, he has <em>implied</em> that he may have been able to coax critical information out of our enemies—maybe?</p>
<p>Coincidentally, the documents are unavailable—ObamaSpeak for &#8220;the documents are being altered so that I won&#8217;t look like a liar.  If not doctored, they will be destroyed.&#8221;  Or they are being put in the same vault that holds his university records and his Kenyan birth certificate.</p>
<p>America is fortunate to have true a patriot, a real &#8220;bad guy&#8221; like Cheney to confront the evil that now occupies the White House.  I love the irony this time of the bad guy winning and sticking it to &#8220;the man.&#8221;  I also like that America is finally exposing who &#8220;the man&#8221; <span style="font-style:italic;">really </span>is.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s my rant!</p>

<p><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090518/ap_on_re_us/us_geithner_executive_pay">According the AP</a><span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);">,</span></p>
<p style="margin-left:36pt;"><span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);"><em>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think our government should set caps on compensation,&#8221; Geithner said Monday during an interview at an invitation-only luncheon hosted by Newsweek.&#8221;<br /></em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);">People in the Obama administration are used to having things just a bit too easy—they know nothing about risk/reward.  Obama has said it numerous times—&#8221;I got lucky.&#8221;  Obama didn&#8217;t get lucky, however.  He was ruthless in his dealing with adversaries.  As black folks say about &#8220;Slicksters&#8221;—&#8221;<span style="font-style:italic;">Don&#8217;t let the smooth taste fool you</span>!&#8221;<br /></span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);">By now you certainly know that Obama will have a scapegoat, and it will be some white Republican man.  In the case of the financial industry woes, the scapegoat is &#8220;<span style="font-style:italic;">Greed</span>.&#8221;  &#8220;</span><a href="http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0094291/"><span style="color:rgb(51,51,255);">Wall Street</span></a><span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);">.&#8221;</span><a href="http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0094291/"><span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);"><br /></span></a></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);">When you hear those terms tossed around so flippantly, you may have a tendency to forget that they are just &#8220;words.&#8221;  Nebulous terms meant to conjure up images on of one thing:  Rich white Republican men, hell bent on the destruction of the poor.  What you won&#8217;t do however is consider the origin of the fiasco.  That&#8217;s how racist, elitist meddling liberal Democrats <span style="font-style:italic;">want </span>you to think&#8211;like &#8220;drunk uncles.&#8221;<br /></span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);">I don&#8217;t blame &#8220;Wall Street&#8221; for taking advantage of the legislation initiated by fools like Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, legislation then forced on the financial industry by threat of lawsuit by Obama himself (and ACORN). And when the warning bells were sounded by <em>Republicans</em> in the House, they went ignored by Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi…<em>Dodd</em>!<br /></span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);">The Democrats would have you forget that in their zeal to &#8220;socially engineer&#8221; America (particularly black people), they disrupted the free market system—<em>they</em> created this mess.  Carter, &#8220;the meddlist&#8221; decided that in America— everybody should own a house. No Peanut, everybody should have the <span style="font-style:italic;">opportunity </span>to own a house in America.<br /></span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);">I think people should have to work hard to get that house.  I was raised by people who had this crazy idea:  <em>If you work hard for something, you will try harder to keep it.</em>  So if <span style="text-decoration:underline;">you</span> make a $15,000 down payment on a home, you are less likely to walk away.  Compare this with the Democrat approach, where you make the down payment of $15,000—with other people&#8217;s money.<br /></span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);"><em>Those</em> lucky philanthropists used to known only by terms such as &#8220;greed&#8221; and &#8220;Wall Street.&#8221;   We are now known as taxpayers, extremists—oh, and <span style="font-style:italic;">suckers</span>!<br /></span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);">We are back where we started—Poor black people getting kicked out of their houses—Democrats having tossed their cigarettes out the car window as they drove by; glancing occasionally in their rearview mirrors at the smoking house.   By now some Republican has pulled over to help the &#8220;stranded homeowner,&#8221; only to get blamed for what is now a full-fledged fire!<br /></span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);">So we capitalists get the memo that—for now–it&#8217;s ok to make money. There is a caveat:  We are being watched.  ObamaNation needs to <em>monitor</em> us; reign us in.<br /></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:36pt;"><span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);"><em>&#8220;Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Monday that government should place &#8220;broad constraints&#8221; on the incentives that huge pay packages create for executives to take short-term risks.</em>&#8220;<br /></span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);">Here&#8217;s the wrap:<br /></span></p>
<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><img style="float:left;cursor:pointer;width:320px;height:178px;margin:0 10px 10px 0;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QOtwayIJJNU/ShVZ52zX8PI/AAAAAAAABM0/kzZn4qZEcGI/s320/Obama+shoe.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);">How many companies innovate by &#8220;playing it safe?&#8221;  If you are like me you have heard many motivational speakers say to me, &#8220;Don&#8217;t push the envelope.  Stick with the status quo.  The moon?  Don&#8217;t be an <em>idiot</em>!  You can never go <em>there</em>!&#8221;<br /></span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);">ObamaNation wants to make &#8220;capitalism&#8221; a dirty word.  Socialism is being sold as capitalism.  And socialists are humanitarians; capitalists should be watched.  Capitalists are dangerous, greedy people, who have this crazy goal of, well…<em>Capitalism</em>—living their lives without the need of the government assistance or intervention.   <span style="font-style:italic;">How dare you self-actualized sons of fatherless swine</span>!<br /></span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);">For now, Massa Obama has decreed that there will be no cap on capitalists&#8217; income.  <span style="font-style:italic;">It is written, yea verily it shall be done! </span>However, as with all things in <em>The War on Achievement – Era of Brown Underwear</em>, you must consider how the other shoe will fall?  No real secret here.<br /></span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);">Obama will just take your uncapped income from you the old-fashioned Democrat way—<em>one tax at a tiiiimmmme</em>.<br /></span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);">That&#8217;s my rant!<br /></span></p>
