No Scandals for Obama
by Jonathan Alter
Link
Obama goes into 2012 with a weak economy that may doom his reelection.
But he has one asset that hasn't received much attention: He's honest.
The sight of Rick Perry tumbling out of the clown car recently as a "birther" is a sign of weakness,
not just for the Perry campaign but for the whole Republican effort to tarnish the president's character.
If he loses next year, it will be because of the economy -- period.
Even so, the president's Teflon is intriguing. How did we end up in such a scandal-less state?
After investigating the question for a recent Washington Monthly article, I've been developing some theories.
For starters, the tone is always set at the top. Obama puts a premium on personal integrity, and with a few
exceptions (Tim Geithner's tax problems in 2009) his administration tends to fire first and ask questions later.
The best known example is Shirley Sherrod, the Agriculture Department official who was mistakenly fired by
her boss over a miscommunication that led higher-ups to believe -- wrongly -- that she had made inappropriate
racially tinged remarks. In several other cases, the decision to give staffers accused of wrongdoing the boot
was made within hours, taking the air out of any possible uproar.
I will give props to Obama for his no-drama administration, but when Clinton was president
our whore press fabricated one dirty scandal after another - there were too many to count.
Our whore press regularly called it "Clinton's scandal-plagued administration,"
but when the dust finally settled all they found was some consensual tongue - big whoop.
Oh, and Mike Espy accepted tickets and a ride to the Dallas Humps game - another big whoop.
Meanwhile, Bush had to pardon Reagan's cabinet to stay out of jail for stealing the White House
and giving futuristic weapons to Hezzbollah terrorists...
and D.M.F. killed 5,000 soldiers and maimed another 40,000 just to steal Saddam's oil,
...but Clinton had the "scandal-plagued administration?"
If Clinton had the obedient-puppy press behind him like Bush and Obama have had, his balanced budget
would've provided affordable health care for every American and the New York skyline would still have
the Twin Towers and those 5,000 dead soldiers would still be at home with their families.
But America's press, mostly the New York Whore Times decided "Clinton was evil" and the
back-stabbing Dems agreed and now everyone's broke and we've lost our home equity, our jobs and our savings...

Cain beats Perry in Tejas
Poll taken before Cain's 'grabby hands' were revealed
Link
Rick Perry, who has seen his support dwindle after several sub-par debate performances,
is now trailing Herman Cain, the woman-grabber, in his own state.
A new poll finds Cain leading the Republican field in the SeceLone Star State with 27%.
Perry was supported by 26 percent of respondents, a number within the margin of error.
Ron Paul, who represents the 14th District in Texas, came in third with 12-percent support.
He was followed by Mittens at 9 percent, Gingrich at 8 percent and Bachmann at 2 percent.
Man-on-dog Santorum, and Jon Huntsman each attracted 1 percent; 12% disliked all of them.
Texans must be telling these pollsters what they want to hear - a Black guy
is beating their rootin'-tootin "I want to kill them all" governor?

Justin Beiber hates Sen Klobuchar (Who?)
"She should be locked up, and put away in cuffs”
Link
Teen hearthrob Justin Bieber declared that Minnesota Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar
should be “locked up, and put away in cuffs” for her bill to toughen copyright infringement laws.
FreeBieber.org, a website dedicated to defeating Klobuchar’s bill, promoted the audio
from the interview, declaring that “Justin Bieber speaks out against S.978.”
Fight for the Future — the group behind FreeBieber.org — strongly opposes the pending
Senate bill that Klobuchar proposed in May. The bill passed through the Senate Judiciary
Committee without objection earlier this year and would amend the Net Act of 1997.
I know nothing about this and I don't have the time to look it up, but some observations:
I applaud the youngsters getting involved, but I'm pretty sure Bieber doesn't know
enough about this issue to call for someone to be locked up for proposing an idea.
Why is Klubacker (Who?) spending her time and her energy trying to make millionaire
and billionaire musicians even richer than they are now?
Why is Bieber, perhaps 1/3 billionaire now, not displaying more greed?

Sleazy's Misguided 'Values'
by Lawrence Davidson
consortiumnews.com
Condoleezza Rice, who was both National Security Advisor and Secretary of State under Bush,
also was an administration spokesperson who helped scare the American people into supporting the invasion of Iraq.
She accomplished this by invoking the image of “mushroom clouds” incinerating the skylines of America.
She gave credence to the false story that Iraq was a threat to the US because it possessed WMDs.
Rice is presently on a lecture tour promoting her book, which is what brought her to the Belk Theater
in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Oct. 25. She spoke to a packed house of 2,000 people.
Actually, what made this event notable was not the large numbers who had come to hear her,
but rather that, among other things, Condoleezza Rice chose to speak about values.
She said, "America’s challenge is not China or Brazil or India, and certainly not Europe.
The challenge is the United States gone bad.” Well, she should know.

Subject: Thank you
Bart, thank you for the way you handle donations. I recently sent you a check that I felt was long overdue.
You had not pressured me for any big amount, and you didn't tell me that I should have offered you more.
I got a phone call tonight that was totally different. The caller (from Clean Water Action, a group with very
worthy goals) suggested a big amount ($500 or something like that) when she called and I couldn't take time to talk.
Last night, she proposed a contribution of $120 per quarter. I told her that was not possible this year, that I
only considered $40 or maybe $50. Then she told me that my record said that last year I signed up for $120
per six month period and suggested that amount. I felt sure that wasn't the case, but I didn't say that.
She tried to get me to sign up for that amount per year. The she told me that I could do a "basic membership"
for $60 per year and get all their info and updates. I told her again, maybe $40 or $50. She said that $60 would
cover a year, but a $50 would only cover six months! After a little more--very little--discussion, I told her I didn't
appreciate being pressured, and I hung up. I went and looked at last years tax return, and I had contributed $120,
but it was for the whole year! The guys who came to the door last year had suggested $1000 per year and
immediately backed down to $10 per month. I wonder whether gray hair makes you look rich!
ha ha
If gray hair makes one look rich, I must look like a Koch Brother.
I've had gray hair since I was 18.
We'll be okay unless Rick Perry completes getting control of the Texas Teacher Retirement System.
Not rich, but okay.
I'm sure you need the money as much as they do.
So thanks again for graciously accepting whatever I feel comfortable sending.
And thank you for providing humor, common sense, and the occasional opposing point of view.

Horseshit from the White House
"Why pot is so very dangerous" crappola
Link
Our concern about marijuana is based on what the science tells us.
Absolute horseshit - science says no such thing, especially when pot is compared to dangerous
drugs like tobacco and liquor. Is Obama trying to win evalgelicals with his anti-science bullshit?
According to scientists at the National Institutes of Health marijuana use is associated with
addiction, respiratory disease, and cognitive impairment.
Pure poppycock.
You can only get addicted to pot the way you get addicted to The Simpsons or shooting pool
or listening to Black Sabbath or God forbid, playing poker. The definition of addiction is
physical pain during withdrawal. Show me somebody sweating and rolling around in bed
from the pain of pot withdrawal.
That doesn't happen and the doctors at the National Institutes of Health know that.
I don't like saying this, but I suspect Obama ordered the scientists to come to his fabricated
conclusion just like Nixon and Ed Meese did years ago - or the oil companies today.
And resperatory disease? Who thought of that lie?
What respiratory problems are associated with occasional pot use?
Christ, I know a guy whose Stage 4 lung cancer was CURED by smoking pot.
And cognitive impairment? Are you fucking kidding me?
Compared to whiskey and vodka, they think pot is dangerous? That's just a lie.
That's like saying "Screwdrivers are dangerous toys" while approving chainsaws
to be sold at a Toys R Us. Why did Obama hire this liar to mislead us?
Then this liar goes on to say "It's not good for kids," - nobody ever said it was.
100 proof vodka is legal - would you buy some for your pre-schooler? Fuck no.
You know a sombitch is lying when he has to play the kiddie card.
Then the all-purpose try-to-fool-the newbie point:
"Simply put, it is not a benign drug."
NOBODY SAID IT WAS!
It's a DRUG, for Christ sakes.
Drugs affect your body - if it didn't have an effect, nobody would take the drug.
Obama hired this witch doctor to voodoo all over us and that pisses me off.
More than any issue THIS ONE tells me Obama is a liar.
He has some irrational fear - like he did with gay rights - that can't be explained.
I wish our president was a realist.
He needs to join Perkel's Church of Reality and stop lying to us.
I am very disappointed in your cowardice, Mr President.
You are a mouse trying to do a man's (or women's) job.

Congress has only scheduled 109 work days for next year in a time where America is in a crisis.
We all know that they don't care what happens to America because all they care about is their
petty partisan squabble. But by scheduling only 109 work days they are rubbing our noses in it.
I think that when they took an oath to the Constitution that they should at least be required
to pretend they care. 109 days isn't even pretending. 109 days is just wrong.

It would appear that the cops will be the enforcers for the 1%, they know who butters their bread.
So the 1% own the media and controls the cops, great!. We are rapidly becoming a modern fuedal state.
We are constantly told that the wealthy create the jobs when any fool should understand that consumers
create jobs and that concentration of wealth is a contraindication for the economy, continue the squeeze
on the 99% and the economy will never recover.
The Bush II debacle is what got us here, when he entered office the government was running surpluses
then in his zeal to end what little social safety net we have, he championed two tax cuts for the wealthy
(of which he is a member), started two wars, pushed through a prescription drug program written by the
drug companies, and brought us the TSA., leaving alone the questions surrounding 911...
