Obama and Dr. Facilier
All I Want For Christmas Is My Entitlements
(to the tune of All I want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth)
Everybody Pauses and stares at me
My house, health and car are gone as you can see
I don't know just who to blame for this catastrophe!
But my one wish on Christmas Eve is as plain as it can be!
All I want for Christmas
is my entitlements,
my free healthcare,
need my free Den-tal!
Gee, if I could only
have my entitlements,
then I could wish you
"Merry Christmas."
It seems so long since I could say,
"Yes I'll Super Size that today!"
Gosh oh gee, how happy I'd be,
if I could cash my stimulus money
All I want for Christmas
is my entitlements,
my free healthcare,
my new GM Clunk-car.
Gee, if I could only
have my entitlements,
then I could wish you
"Feliz Navidad!"

Hugo Chavez says "No" Too
http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSTRE59A1MU20091011
Also in the article is aging Fidel Castro making note of Americas "genocidal" policies? Really? Genocidal? Does the senile old communist fart even know what genocide means?
- the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group.
Where are we "deliberately and systematically" trying to "exterminate" ANYONE? Being at war with someone does not equal "genocide". If war now means genocide then there are a lot of genocides going on in the world. I guess whenever the Irish bomb a British pub they're practicing genocide. When the Palestinians bomb an Israeli marketplace it must be genocide. When Russia invaded Geogia last year I guess that was genocide. What an idiot.

Barack H. Obama Peace Prize?
Here's a link to the list.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nobel_Peace_Prize_laureates
- Kofi Annan is on there. He's the leader of the U.N. that botched the Iraq WMD search which lead to the eventual invasion.
- John Hume and David Trimble won in 1998. Bill Clinton worked with these two on peace in Northern Irelend and he didn't get included in the award.
- Yasser Arafat is on the list in 1994 so they're not perfect.
- At least Mother Theresa got one. She deserved it.
- Sadat and Begin won in 1978 but, like Clinton, Jimmy Carter was left out (he later won in 2002 for his decades of work and deserved it).
- Awesome, Lech Walesa won in 1983. Now what he did in Poland was truly an accomplishment bucking big bad Russia.
- Henry Kissinger won in 1973 for the "Paris Agreement". Looks like that was also an award based on promise rather than actual since the Paris Agreement didn't work.
- Martin Luther King won in 1964; that's a good choice.
- Albert Schweitzer won; another good choice.
- Woodrow Wilson won in 1919 for his League of Nations. Of course, America never actually joined the league of nations but it did later evolve into the United Nations. Not bad. I guess on this one the "promise" eventually panned out.
- Teddy Roosevelt won in 1906 for actually ending a war and creating peace without any troops. That's a good one.
Al Gore won in 2007 for making a DVD. Albeit it was a good DVD but a Peace Prize?
In Al Gore's win there was much speculation that Europe was trying to coax him into running for President (that's the speculaton on his Oscar win in Hollywood too). I'm not knocking Gore. It was a darn good DVD but is also miscontrued by many people. They forget to mention things that even Al Gore said because it doesn't fit their agenda. I need to watch it again. I really liked it.
All-in-all it looks like the Peace Prize isn't always accurate like any other award or us humans in general. Kissinger shouldn't have won. They should've waited to see if the plan even worked...it didn't. Woodrow Wilson's was a little pre-mature. In hindsight it eventually led to the United Nations so they lucked out. Bill Clinton should've been included in 1998 but wasn't. Jimmy Carter should've been included in 1978 but wasn't. He later won what he deserved in 2002 so that worked itself out over time. Many others won like they should have. A lot of the people on the list I've never heard of.
Only time will tell if Barack Obama is Henry Kissinger or Woodrow Wilson. Will the promise of peace pay off or will reality result in his award missing the mark?

Obama's Olympic Waterloo
http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20091002/pl_politico/27857
Bill Clinton was often criticized for “governing by the polls”. But, you can’t argue that it didn’t work for him. He was re-elected and finished his Presidency with the highest approval rating in Presidential history for an outgoing President. After all we are a “representative” Government and “governing by the polls” is giving the people what they want whether you think it’s the right thing or not. It’s an effective strategy that worked well for him.
George W. Bush didn’t “govern by the polls” (and in his credit he told us he wasn’t going to) and finished with the 2nd lowest approval rating of all time just barely ahead of Harry Truman. Many people were mad at Bush for his decisions and are still quite bitter today. Bush made decisions based on what he thought was right (only time will tell if he truly was) and didn’t pay much attention to what the people wanted.
Obama has a choice. He can be Bush or he can be Clinton. It’s OK to do things your way sometimes but you also have to give the people what they want sometimes too. He needs to develop some political prowess very quickly if he wants to be President longer than Jimmy Carter. All in one day we saw the announcement that unemployment has risen to 9.8% and his unnecessary risk couldn’t bring the Olympics to Chicago. We need his On the Job Training to become experience very quickly.

Roman Polanski - CRIMINAL!
http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Movies/09/29/polanski.filmmakers.protest/index.html
It probably doesn’t help your “drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl” case when Woody Allen comes to your defense. It’s like those “legalize marijuana” guys who come on TV or the radio with “dude, marijuana should be legal cuz it’s like not harmful and stuff man”.
It is NEVER OK to allow a known criminal to get away and do nothing about it. He plead GUILTY. He is NOT innocent. He’s NEVER denied doing it. Just because it’s taken 30+ years to get him doesn’t make it LESS OF A CRIME! He still DID IT. He’s lead a life of luxury while mocking our justice system. LOCK HIM UP!
It’s not relevant if he thought the judge was going to be mean to him 30+ years ago. He committed a crime and there are good and bad judges out there. This is the chance you take when you knowingly and willfully COMMIT A CRIME! Hey, I know, don’t commit crimes and you won’t have to worry about it.
