FAA Memo: Feds Knew NYC Flyover Would Cause Panic







2 Points:
1. Imagine if this had occured under a republican administration...fear mongering anyone?
2. If Obama was really so furious, heads would be rolling.

Chrysler could file bankruptcy next week

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30366383/

Why doesn't this boil people's blood? It sure does mine. Chrysler took millions of bailout dollars (read our dollars) and yet they will still file for bankruptcy where debt holders (read taxpayers) will get 22-65 cent on the dollar. Where is the outcry? The government just threw our money away. Our hard earned money that was slaved for at our jobs! What the Hell gives the government the right to confiscate our money and throw it away on such nonsense?

We were told the world would end if we let the auto makers fail. We were told too many jobs would be lost. So, we threw money it at and low and behold it didn't work. That's the mighty power of capitalism at work whuch the government should be bowing down to. They threw millions of dollars at a company and it STILL goes bankrupt.

And yet, they still call for more money, more intervention, because after all, only they can save us. How about no more spending, no more wasting, and give us back our money? Stop lying to us and admit that you were wrong. Admit that government intervention doesn't work. Resign your positions and let us election new decent leaders that will respect the rights of the people. We the people are responsible for our government and without speaking out we are silently accepting this outrage.

Clinton says Israel risks losing support on Iran

http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSTRE53M5CZ20090423?feedType=RSS&feedName=politicsNews&rpc=22&sp=true

No Mrs. Secretary, Arab support for Israel against Iran does not go hand in hand with Israeli participation in Palestinian peace talks, are you mad? There isn't one Arab country that on some level doesn't want Israel to wither and die. The only reason they want Israel at the negotiation table is so they can stall longer. The Palestinians, strike that, the leaders of the Palestinians don't want a two state solution, they want a one state, their own state, with the disappearance of Israel. At the Oslo accords a Palestinian state was handed to them on a silver platter and Arafat turned it down. Why? Because the plan involved the continued existence of Israel. If they wanted peace, we would have had it by now, Israel has offered up dozens of different concessions of the years except for the one that Arabs want. Therefore, we will continue to have Middle East turmoil until one side is eradicated.

Perez Hilton calls Miss California a 'dumb bitch'

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1172123/God-testing-faith-says-Miss-California-Perez-Hilton-calls-dumb-bitch-gay-marriage-row.html

And I thought gay people were suppose to be more tolerant and open-minded...apparently not. Perez Hilton should watch out though, Miss California could easily take him down with just her abs.

And also, since when does having a gay guy judge a MISS America competition make any sense?

Despite everything that I disagree with Obama about, this is the main issue. It goes to the heart of what it means to be an American and Mr. President, you are not an American.

"After he was subjected to the “waterboard” technique, KSM became cooperative, providing intelligence that led to the capture of key al Qaeda allies and, eventually, the closing down of an East Asian terrorist cell that had been tasked with carrying out the 9/11-style attack on Los Angeles."

US to put conditions on Tarp repayment

http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/f3bc75b2-2d1a-11de-8710-00144feabdc0.html

"The official, meanwhile, said banks that had plenty of capital and had demonstrated an ability to raise fresh capital from the market should in principle be able to repay government funds. But the judgment would be made in the context of the wider economic interest."

hmm, having the government decide what is best for the economy, sounds like central planning to me...

CIA Interrogation Techniques Released to Public

http://www.ibdeditorials.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=324863168180705

How exactly does this make us more safe? How exactly does that help our troops in the field? How exactly is this the right thing to do? We will now get less intelligence from captured terrorists because they know the limits of our interrogation techniques. Less intelligence means less safe conditions of the ground. Less safe conditions of the ground means more casualties. Mr. President, you have just increased the chances that our soldiers getting injured or killed. Are you proud of yourself?

March housing construction falls 10.8 percent

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/March-housing-construction-apf-14943801.html

I told you it wasn't over. And what does this say? It says that demand is down and/or there is too much supply. What happens when demand is down and supply is up? Basic economics tell you that the prices will have to fall to induce buying again. This means that the price of houses still has a ways to fall before recovery can occur.

Nicolas Sarkozy puts Barack Obama in the doghouse

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/world_agenda/article6098836.ece

I'm glad to see that some world leaders aren't bending over backwards to welcome Obama. This is what I've been saying all along, Obama is nothing more than a better package. He has a cooler image than presidents before him and thus can get away with saying and doing things that others cannot. There is nothing substantive behind has words, just rhetoric and I'm glad the French see that.

"The President is annoyed by what he sees as the naivety and the herd mentality of the media."
