The Emperor's New Clothes

This great video sums up how many many Obama supporters are feeling. She's probably a republican plant, but that doesn't change the fact that she precisely sums up what many people are thinking.


Obama Supporter: "I'm exhausted of defending you"



Now lets listen to a reply from the silver tongue...



He tells her (with a straight face) that she embodies all that is good in America, and people like her are the type of people "they" want to reward.

Yet the only rewards under Obama have gone directly, magnanimously, to Wall Street, just as they did under Bush. If I can find this woman's followup, I will post it below.

However, in more important news, and let's get down to some serious business, all the American Idol judges are leaving. What is the world coming to! [sarcasm]

September 11, nine years on

God forbid we might question what we have been told.

What is wrong with asking questions anyway?

We don't need no more trouble

A group of sound engineers traveled the world, and laid down this track using artists recorded in their home countries.

Playing For Change is a great project, and it is an example of the type of change we can truly believe in.

"State Secrets" Trump Justice Again

Sad, though not surprising.

From Mother Jones:

Obama administration wins the right to invoke "State Secrets" to shield Bush's torture/rendition crimes from judicial review.

ACLU comment:
This is a sad day not only for the torture victims whose attempt to seek justice has been extinguished, but for all Americans who care about the rule of law and our nation's reputation in the world. To date, not a single victim of the Bush administration's torture program has had his day in court. If today's decision is allowed to stand, the United States will have closed its courtroom doors to torture victims while providing complete immunity to their torturers. The torture architects and their enablers may have escaped the judgment of this court, but they will not escape the judgment of history.

End of War in Iraq?

Two separate presidents, from two separate parties, have declared combat operations in Iraq to be finished.

When George Bush stood on board USS Abraham Lincoln in 2003 in his leather jacket, and told us "mission accomplished", it was one of the most bizarre moments in the war in Iraq, because clearly the "mission" was far from over.

Now we have President Obama telling us (deja vu anyone?) that combat operations in Iraq are complete, HOWEVER we are leaving in place 50,000 combat troops, along with 100k to 200k private combat mercinaries.

Who believes this stuff? Do you believe it? Does anyone smell something fishy, or is it just me? Is anyone connecting the dots out there?? Hello?

Here's a great video on the subject Matt Gonzales is fantastic, start at the 5:00 mark.
