As a American, I do not agree with you President Obama

My notes are in red.

 

The...

 

 

phony war in Iraq or the torture memos that justified waterboarding. It's millions of missing emails and the constant use of executive privilege and signing statements. All of the men and women we sent to Iraq who died... They are not worth it? Their lives lost mean nothing to you?  You can't be very American if you are not willing to fight for our own troops.  4,000+ lost in war, ...remember that. 

 

secretive meetings with Enron and other energy executives and the wholesale firing of federal prosecutors. It's trying to get the president's personal attorney seated on the Supreme Court and that despicable Alberto Gonzales sitting in front of congressional investigators whining, "I don't remember, I don't know, I...etc."  Many are quick to put others away for such acts.  Who got paid off? Someone did, because little was done, and the hearings were a joke. The hearings were there to please the public? Well, guess again.   

 

domestic eavesdropping in violation of the FISA Court, the rendition prisons, and the lying. It's looking the other way while the City of New Orleans drowned and its people were left to fend for themselves. This was very un-American. So what was this "really" about?

 

It's the violations of the Geneva Conventions, the soiling of our international reputation and the shredding of the U.S. Constitution. It's the handing over of $700 billion to the Wall Street fat cats last fall, no questions asked. Even though Bush is no longer in office, this still hurts the reputation of Americans everywhere. As for the missing money, I just think it was Bush's last act of kindness he did for his friends. It had nothing to do about the economy.  I also don't believe Bush loved America. What president does away with our Constitution? 

 

no-bid contracts to firms like Halliburton and Blackwater and the shoddy construction and lack of oversight of reconstruction in Iraq that cost American taxpayers untold billions. Plus the many that lost their lives due too the shoddy construction. They deserve justice.  What a shame, and a terrible loss. 

 

We have no clue to what all the Bush Administration did to our Country.  A lot was done to America behind closed doors.  This is even more reason as to why the Bush Administration should be investigated.   

 

President Obama...  Please open your eyes, who ever is giving you advice, just may have a reason for not wanting that investigation. 

 

You may have many good apples around you, but you have many rotten ones as well. Plus without this investigation you open the door for another President after you to try to do the same as Bush.

In response that Google is removing user content

 

 

First off it doesn't matter if the service is free, it's the ethics behind it.  It's your content, you made it.  All it took was a few strokes of the keyboard for your content to disappear, and no reason given behind it except just to say that the RIAA owns it.  

 

second I believe the law here need to be changed.  If you file a infringement against someone then you should have to say what is "exactly infringing.  With the way the law is set up now.  It can be abused very easy.  All they have to say (or lawyers say)  as just in this case and many more like it is "hey remove it it is violating my music copyright".  Then up steps a content provider like Google that has to remove the source or else they can get sued too.  This is not fair to the public when you leave the public in the dark about what the RIAA is yelling foul over, or anyone else that decides they don't "like your content".    Be open about what's going on and if you decide that certain content is infringing, then tell the blogger or website owner exactly what is infringing.

 

This is the most biggest thing I have against the copyright laws.  Anyone can cry foul, and service providers quiver and jump to remove the so called content.  I have heard of cases of other people having to remove content, or they had content removed by their provider,  and all they was told is "you were violating a copyright, and I don't have to tell you what content".  "You just need to know what page it is on."  So the owner of the content has to remove the whole page of content because they have no idea what exactly on that page is infringing. In most cases it is just one file, or one URL causing the problem.

 

Come on people this is the most stupid of laws, and excuses.  This needs to be changed.  Give the public a break here the only ones that are benefiting from this law are the ones that decide they want to infringe upon you because they don't like your content.  Who knows they may be after a monetary gain too.  You could be a rival that they need too squash. What ever the case there is not enough responsible disclosure.  If you have proof, then I want to see it.  Not asking for too much right?

GASP!

Limbaugh: I hope Obama 'fails'

5:32

Rush Limbaugh says he hopes President Barack Obama fails. CNN's Rick Sanchez takes a closer look.

What in the hell is wrong with this man? If Obama fails then America fails, the people fail, and it does not make for a pretty picture. Lets not forget about what this will do to the world.

Limbaugh: I hope Obama 'fails' - CNN

President Barack Obama 2009 Inauguration and Address

Very well spoken, and I am sure President Obama raised a few eyebrows. President Obama has his work cut out for him. I am sure he will meet obstacles that will do their best to fight him. His speech was on target for what America has in store for the next four years. He talked too ALL of the people, and acknowledged the many cultures within our borders. Well worth the watch.

 

The Inauguration Stream

Hulu will be streaming live coverage, using Fox Broadcast's stream from 12-2 p.m. ET. The site's player is embedded below. Bonus: the inauguration will be available on-demand after it ends.

 

Dream a little Politics

Barack Obama Democrat

John McCain Republican

 

Well the election is almost upon us.  We are down to two candidates. The mud slinging is high on the chart.  The lies are outrageous, and common place.  Even though many Americans never believes the crap spewing from the mouths in the ads.  As always the media is eating it up.  In the meantime our economy is at it's lowest level sense the great Depression.  Don't you just love Politics?  It's the only time a person can say a mouthful, and the mouthful be nothing but a pack of lies and deceit.  It's suppose to sound good.  They get brownie points for everything that comes out of their mouths. Each and every word spewed could mean getting the Presidency or not.

Perhaps they should of set the election up as a major film debut?  Whom ever can get the most words in edge wise in forty minutes that relates to what they "might" like to do for the USA.  Along with their full work history and with paperwork to prove it.  Must have medical history, and any paperwork on shady miss doings rather if you have been convicted or not.  Put it out in movie form, and stay out of the media we just want the facts sheets, and movie. Then distribute the movie world wide.  Free! It should come in a DVD jewel case as well so people can view it twice if they want too. Include the background history paperwork in the jewel case!

Oh shoot! Can't a person dream?  After all that's about all we will get out of these candidates.  We will be lucky to see half of their spewed promises become reality.  The rest is just a mere dream.

  

 

Thanks firefox!

I was part of the world record. I just thought it was so cool that Firefox sent their users a certificate of appreciation for helping them set a new world record. This is part of the certificate. Not the whole thing. Plus I reduced the size because it was very large.

Thank You Firefox!

THE NEARLY UNFATHOMABLE DEPTHS OF PENTAGON CORRUPTION

This is just ludicrous... Be sure too take your time reading. If this is all true, then the corruption is really bad at the White House. From the page:A former high-ranking member of the CIA, now retired, who was a career employee, contacted us this week. Due to our reporting on Halliburton and their corruption we were given 46 pages of testimony on how Halliburton, the CIA, the Pentagon and Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld have been stealing billions of dollars.

Will Oil Really Hit $200 a Barrel?

It could because media outlets everywhere are conditioning their readers and watchers to the possibility of having $200.00 a barrel oil.  If you look at the news in all of the cities across America they are all saying the same thing.  No one believed that oil could reach $123.00 a barrel, but thanks to the news media hammering into our brains everyday.  It did happen.  Americans everywhere were conditioned into believing it would happen.

 

It seems every time the news outlets put to pen and paper, and shout it across the airwaves people take it as a reality.  No one has stopped to think of the ramifications for their actions of putting this type news out.  If you say it enough times people believe it, and are conditioned to the act of having the price double and triple in month(s), and weeks time. 

 

It may be time for Americans to step up to the plate, and say, "Enough is enough!"  Boycotts are not the answer to the rising oil prices.  But to hammer down the media, and put less interest into their claims of $200.00 a barrel oil is a better alternative.  If the front page makes bolstering claims of $200.00 dollar oil, then don't buy the paper, and don't listen to it or support their sponsors on TV, or newspapers either.  It could very well be that Americans are being conditioned into believing that we have to accept the fact that oil will rise to $200.00 a barrel.  If you say it enough times then people will start to believe you, and before you know it, people accept the facts as truth.  Then the big oil companies come along and raise the price, because the media said it was going to happen, and because the people have been conditioned into believing it was going too happen, it does.

Pro-Clinton Diggers Try to Bury Jed Report's Latest Video

"Despite that strong positive reaction, shortly after the Bosnia and Back Again video was posted on Digg, some (presumably pro-Clinton) digg users buried the video, despite getting over 300 Diggs. So it seems pretty clear that someone doesn't want people to see this video."The above is on Digg at this time just so you know ahead of time it is not so much about this particular article, but as a whole about what gets to the top in the first place on Digg. Most of Digg's front page is about the smut that gets spread on particular individuals or a certain Country's misfortune, and even maybe a occasional happy story. I can't understand why certain stories make it to the top, and others fail before they get ten diggs. Some stories failed and I really thought they were good, and I thought as a whole the Digg users would want these stories at the top. But it did not happen. Who doesn't want to know that soldiers in Iraq are committing suicide at a alarming rate? I guess Digg users don't. But just so you know... I really have faith in Digg users because I have noticed a few story's that failed the Digg effect were not worthy of making the front page. So as a digg user, I continue to post new stories just like any other Digg fan out there. But I will never hold my breath while waiting for them to make the front page. I will however be more selective in the content I post. :)

Best video explaining net neutrality ever

Individuals invented the internet yet now corporations claim they own own it - they claim it's their private property. If that's true then you don't have free speech online. I disagree - I think free speech in "free speech zones" isn't free: it's *dependent* on having a public place to be heard - meaning public property like the internet.If the big Corps have their way then our Internet will be like newspapers that are owned by just a few, and like radio and television that are also owned by just a few. Remember all the promises they have made to the public, and even to our own Government in the past... They promised us fiber optics, and we got nothing. They promised us fair competition when it came to Internet carriers, and right now we are loosing this big time, They gave us only higher bills, and lower support, and services, and even bad service in many areas. They have only done their best to tell us what we can do so far, and it is just irking them that they don't have more power. Next will be what websites we are allowed to visit, what software we can download, and what entertainment we can venture too. So if you like certain music artist you could end up blocked from viewing them simply because you do not have the "right" ISP. You like sports? Well, you could be blocked from viewing updated sports scores, and media tidbits simply because you do not have the "right" ISP. Look at your radio, your television, and your newspapers, and ask yourself if you want the same restrictions on your Internet? For those thinking that you will find a ISP that wont go for the restrictions, think again. Finding one may be easy, you may put your own own website, or blog on the net, even submit a few videos, but what good will it do if the majority can not see them? Remember how it has been up till now. Certain ISPs and even broadband has not even made it to certain areas, and some areas for years have only had one or two ISPs in their area, and no more have been offered. Now check your own ISP you use for your broadband.... Do you get the upload and download speed that you was promised? If not, then you could be getting penalized simply for not using your lan line phone carrier broadband. They just are not telling you this. This is how the Telephone companies feel about the consumer. They only see the money, they could care less if you like it or not, they own big spots of real estate so they have big plans for you. Only thing is it benefits them, not you.

Bush and the American way, or not

117,000 blogs and such had words to say about the Olbermann commentary which is located here: Olbermann: Bush 'panoramic invasion of privacy' is terrorism  Now I have know there was a few post online that claim that Bush said he wanted to stay in power, and would if he could find a way around it.  Located here is this subject: Bush Quips He Might Stay in Power (Threat Level Plays Along) The article just plays along, but is quick to point out that they did file using the freedom of information act for information from  five Justice Department offices for documents produced or revised after August 2001 "addressing the feasibility, advisability or lawfulness of deferring, rescheduling or canceling a U.S. national election." I guess they didn't want to take any chances just incase if it were to be true. 

 

For your reading pleasure here are a number of articles for you to read:

 

Analyzing the First 56 Pages of the Walker Working Group Report (aka the Torture Memo)

 

Defending recent impeachment debate

 

Intel chair to Bush on FISA: I will not back down to you [This is a must read if you have not done so as of yet.]

 

Bush Chides Congress Over Spy Law Lapse  The grand finally of them all...

 

Because of the Spy Law Lapse " The president said. "They are wrong. Because Congress failed to act, it will be harder for our government to keep you safe from terrorist attack."

 

But what if Bush decides to tell our security structure to take a break leaving us wide open for attack just to prove a point?  Nah maybe not he can't be that stupid... Or can he?  Could he sabotage to prove a point?  Maybe not, or at least lets hope he can't. 

Democrats blamed the president,  for "whipping up false fears and creating artificial confrontation."

 

Everyone knows this is true, all the way down to the president's Secretary.  Plus you can find all kinds of bits and pieces online on a number of subjects that outline what Bush has done so far that could be labeled as illegal. 

 

Here is the outline: The case for impeachment of President George W. Bush

 

I brushed up on this subject a few times.

 

here: A presidential order allowing warrantless spying on American citizens goes far beyond even the Patriot Act

 

And so you know the scope of things:

 

U.S. endorsed harsh interrogations

 

Cruel? Humiliating? Degrading? OK with us!

 

So now I hope to put your mind at ease, or at least try too.  I have come across a few that claim because I am bashing the Bush and Company I am not very patriotic.  I have been told I have no right to talk ill of the man because I have not walked in his shoes.  Well, I don't want to walk in his shoes.  But he has walked in yours, and in mine.  Every time he passes a bad law, or even a good one he has done it for you.  When he speaks to other Nations, he does it on behalf of you.  When he speaks to the public, he is speaking to you.  When he addresses the nation it is on behalf of the American Public.  Every good thing he has done, or bad, it reflects on every American citizen as a whole.  So when you allow him to create bad laws, then you are just as bad as he is.

 

So what are you going to do about it? 

 

Well you could go here:

 

Support the House Senate by calling or emailing them

 

This week call or email your represenitive and let them know where you stand on all of these new laws being created.  Plus let them know that you support impeachment if they desire to do so.  Yes they did halt the Bill.  But we are just getting started with the fight, so don't back down.  Call every day if you have too, but don't back down.  Take a stand because they are representing every man, woman, and child in America. Your voice is needed, don't let our Nation down.

NH GOP drops sponsorship of FOX debate

This is a milestone for the Political debates.  It seems all along that the News Stations have been leaving out certain candidates favoring those that they like the most.  But this is NOT how it is suppose to be.  ALL Candidates are suppose to get their fair shot at these debates.  So along comes New Hampshire.  They literally put their foot down, and said no sponsorship from us if the debates are run in this matter in our State.  I hope that other States follow along with this.  I also hope that no other sponsor decides to pick up where NH dropped off.  If they do, I have full intentions on boycotting them.   For the sake of our Country and future Presidental Elections I hope you feel the same way as I do.

Haliburton and the government are stealing from you.

 

Dear Political Candidate

Well, another election is coming up.  You can tell that it is starting to get tense because the mud slinging has begun on TV. Here are our Canidates for this time around: 

• Joe Biden Democrat
• Hillary Clinton Democrat
• Chris Dodd Democrat
• John Edwards Democrat
• Rudy Giuliani Republican
• Mike Gravel Democrat
• Mike Huckabee Republican
• Duncan Hunter Republican
• Dennis Kucinich Democrat
• John McCain Republican
• Barack Obama Democrat
• Ron Paul Republican
• Bill Richardson Democrat
• Mitt Romney Republican
• Tom Tancredo Republican
• Fred Thompson Republican

 

No need to share with you on whom I plan to vote for because this blog has nothing to do on discosing who I plan to vote for in the long run.    It has more  to do with moral character, what the Candidate plans to do in Office, and in the truth.  I can tell you that I have striked two off the list as not even considering voting for just because of morals.  The oddest thing of all is all of them have been caught in one lie or another, and in worst things.  Some of the lies were more serious than others, some things worse than others.  So morals will probably play more of a role on deciding on which lies were the most serious.  Now add to this the ones that did a bad deed to the public in the past that caused Americans to suffer in one way or another.  Those that clearly did not have the public in mind. Plus you have to give brownie points to those that did offer the public good offerings like new laws, and so on. So I narrowed my choice down to three.  So this gives me a little bit less than a year to decide on which of the three I have chosen so far.  Then you add to the mix rather if they are Republican, Democrat, or independent.

 

So how will I decide between those three?  Well, this is the tricky part.  I plan to pick the one that keeps their head on their shoulders for the next 11 months.  Plus I plan to pick the one that doesn't come out with bashing towards other canidates that could hurt a opponents family members.  They should want to help Iraq Government to be more accountable to their people. In other words... Stop dragging butt, and work with their people to get their Country on the right track.  I am also looking for the candidate that will say to the public that they plan to clean up America, and help America.  I mean we have middle class in the poor house, or homeless.  We are having major recalls on products.  The VA is not helping our veterans as they should.  Plus our schools have gone to the dog house because the "No child left behind" program stinks.  Our elderly had programs cut that never should of been cut.  And next to last of all... 

 

I want to hear they plan to get rid of pork completely in the Bills they pass.  I don't want to be supporting some silly project that is of no benefit to anyone but a select few.  The Defense bill included 2,074 projects, totally $6.6 billion.  I want to see some discloser here.  Hiding Pork into bills where you can't find them needs to stop period.  It is not fair to the public to cause our deficit to be so high just because someone in the Senate wants to help a friend out with their pet projects.  America is paying for these projects, and we have a right to say no, we also have the right to know what all projects are in the bill, and I believe we have the right to know if the project will benefit the public, the cost, and if it wont benefit the public as a whole, then whom will benefit?

 

last of all Clean up America.  Start at the top and work down. We need a better way to supply energy other than oil so we are not so needy of other Nations.  We need higher standards from our Manufacturers.  If we must accept goods from out of our Country, then there needs to be laws in place to curb on the amount of goods, and the quality of goods from other Nations.  This way they wont be taking jobs from Americans.  Or poisoning us. Next if you want to move your business to another country then you must have a penalty for doing so if your business employs over 300 workers.  This hopefully will keep the jobs in America, and give them a tax break if they do stay. 

 

Does being Republican, Democrat, or independent have any pull in my decision of whom to vote for this time around?  No, because there is a Republican that would make a good choice as well.  I tend to base on nothing but what I have outlined above now.  I will do some research on the three I have picked.  See what dirt I find on them, and then research the dirt to be sure it is true. Of course this is mandatory towards the end, right before election time.  But I plan to pick the best for the job, and not let their affiliation to a certain political party get in the way of electing them.  This time around it is very important to pick the right candidate. This may mean picking one that I would normally not vote for simply because of their affiliation to a certain political party.

 

The major point here is even after all of my considerations, I may still have to vote for a candidate that has less than perfect record. There is no such thing as a perfect candidate.

 

Please leave me a comment.
