Violence rises in Iraq as Obama policies are taking shape
By Nancy A. Youssef and Sahar Issa of McClatchy Newspapers
As the U.S. military begins to shift its focus to a new battle against extremists in Afghanistan, a recent spike in violence in Iraq has some military commanders worried that their Afghan strategy could falter with the need to keep a large force in Iraq to quell the mayhem there.
Since this weekend, there have been at least 20 attacks, including a bombing on the outskirts of western Baghdad Tuesday that killed at least 33 people and injured another 57. Also Tuesday, at least four people were killed in several attacks in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul. Attackers have used motorcycle bombs, mortar attacks, Katyusha rockets and gunfire.
The recent increase in violence comes just as President Barack Obama announced that the U.S. would withdraw most of its forces over the next 19 months, saying that 12,000 of the 140,000 now there would leave by the end of this year.

obama apoligizes for the United States
Obama bowed before Muslims by apologizing for the U.S. dictating policy around the globe, while ignoring that the U.S. is the world's greatest power.
President Obama bows to Saudi King
President Obama absolutely bowed the Saudi King. The White House sent out a ridiculous lie that he was just shaking hands with both hands. However the video is quite clear. He came up to the King, bowed low and grabbed the King's hand and shook it. He continued to hold the hand and moved closer and spoke with the King while again shaking his hand. I watched 2 Muslim women talk about it on TV. Both said in his bowing, he is telling the Muslims that he is subservient to them, and since the Saudi's King rules that women are subservient, then Obama agrees and submits that he to believes women are subservient. Why aren't womens groups up in arms about this?

AHA!
I finally got it. I finally see what they are up to. The Democrats have been planning this for 2 years. When they got into power, they got the media to follow them as they always have, and to knock Pres. Bush as much as possible. They knew they could probably take the presidency. They couldn't do it with Hillary in charge because Billary wouldn't conform. So the Democrats made things go their way. They accepted money from all these bailed out firms, cause they knew one day they'd control them.
Today we read that 4 banks tried to pay back TARP funds. They were refused. Therefore the government (i.e. Democrats) retain control of them. They control GM, Chrysler, and most banks now.
Is the country blind?

Scary what he says.
Declaring the future of mankind at stake, President Barack Obama said Sunday all nations must strive to rid the world of nuclear arms and that the U.S. had a "moral responsibility" to lead as the only country ever to use one.
And can anyone guess what that means?

Offensive Facebook Posting
Facebook has an application called "We're Related." It is supposed to be used to make your own family tree, and to add your Facebook friends that are related to you, into the family tree.
On April 1, 2009, as an April Fool's joke, they sent out a personal message to all users of that application that they were confirmed as a 4th cousin, once-removed of Barack Obama.
I found this offensive and a cruel joke to those that do not agree with Obama's socialist agenda. From postings on that applications page, apparently others found it offensive too.
I first thought it was somehow sent from a friend because I'm outspoken on Facebook about my displeasure with Obama and his policies. When I went to the application I found a multitude of message both for and against the message that was sent out, and that it was an April Fool's joke. Then I immediately posted my own message that I was leaving that application. I reported them to Facebook that I was sent an offensive message, then I blocked and deleted the application and posted it on my own wall as to what I thought about them.
I bet if they had done the same anytime in the last 8 years using Bush instead of Obama, that application would not exist anymore.
Some of the outraged users posted things like:
From Suzi:
Every party has a pooper and I AM ONE! No star for this joke and I have been hosed today, but this one....NADA....NEGATIVE....didn't find it funny AT ALL....actually ticked me off!
James:I laughed and I laughed; I especially thought it funny as I had posted a comment on FB, in regards to an article about his aunt living illegally, here, in the United States....ha..haha.
Blake:i would die if that was ture i hate barack obama and he is going to destroy our country. He is the antichrist and he is going to make horrible things happen the joke wasnt funny what so ever. =( it is horrble to think that a public thing suck as facebook would do such a thing
Sally:I was not at all impressed - in fact I was mad at the harrasment - I was ready to get out my family histories to prove it wrong. If he were a distant cousin he would be an embarrasment to the family - my grandmother would roll in her grave at his actions. Soooooooo glad it was a bad joke.
Miriam:Pretty good April fool's; but In knew it was not so due to my Mom has always been in to genealogy for our family ; both sides for along time. I afraid it would not be a compliment to me; as I will not disgrace the office of President but I don't agree or have any respect for this man. Guessyou figured I did not vote for him.
Karina:I am insulted and offended.
Lyle:Barry'O is not related to me...........why...........because I live in fly over country where we still cling to our guns and religion!
Kym:okay thank goodness it was an april fools joke because i would have had a heart attack! wow! good one guys!
Paula:I found this to be a most distastful joke. I thought this site would not produce spam. I checked it, not because I hoped it was true, but because I hoped to verify its falsehood attempt to discover how a confirmation could be given when an inquiry had never been made. Kindly keep your trash to yourself!!!
Missy:That was sooo wrong! I was wondering who in my family did this to me! LOL!
Janell:this is a real insult. The suckiest thing anyone ever did to me. Don;t do it again
Linda:Obviously fake - not funny - JUNK MAIL!!!!
Rachel:That was so stupid, you shouldn't have done that bc some people like me were offended by that!!!
Barbara:Your idea of a joke sucks
Gretchen:That was twisted!
Britany:That was very lame and I didn't believe it at all. I was trying to figure out how to remove the application because all this website is going to is spam. There are way too many f---ing pointless applications and way too many jokes going on around here. Get rid of all the fucking applications and unneccesary crap.
Dan:I'm glad you were not serious. I am pieceful not violent person, but if you had been serious I would have to get off the wagon. I'm also constantly mis understood as well.
Crystal:wwwwowwwwwwwwww i thought i was related 2 oboma dang they scared me!!!!!!!!!!!!
Walter:You can't imagine how p---ed I was when I got this. Wondering how I get this crap off of here. O ne B ig A ** M istake, A merica
Julie:funny thing is...i actually am distantly related to obama ...unfortunately.
Kenneth:LOL - good joke!!! Of all the fools I could be related to, they picked Barack!!! Hahahahaha!!!!
Chris:tottaly got me, gave me a heart attack
Diane:This was the stupidest f---ing thing I've ever seen. And I have a pretty good sense of humor. There's 2 minutes I'll never get back.
Linda:thank GOD I am not....
Valerie:I fail to see the humor in this!!
I just noticed a trend: I picked all the posts over 10 pages of wall posts that found the message offensive and put them here, except for a few really offensive messages themselves. The trend is that most of the offended people are women? Isn't the Democratic Party the one that is supposedly the 'women's party?'
7 were from men. 18 from women.

Obama lied, again
No one that voted for him will care, but Obama is caught lying again. He said that earmarks had to go, then signed into law a budget that has 8000 earmarks in it. The lefty dipsticks say it's only 2% of the budget. 2%? That's a whole heck of a lot! Obama was saying it would be 0%. HE LIED! He also signed it behind closed doors. HE LIED! He said he was going to make government more transparent. What he means by that is that you won't see all he does. He's transparent, and apparently, it's true as little is said in the MSM.
Madoff and his campaign contributions
Something not being reported in the MSM is that Bernie Madoff made political contributions to mostly Democrats. Since 2000, the listing includes:
DEMOCRATIC SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE $102,000 2005-2008
Charles Schumer $12,000
Dick Gephardt $2000 2003
Charles Rangel $2000 1998-2001
Hillary Clinton $1000 2000
others were:
-- Massachusetts Rep. Ed Markey
-- Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry
-- New York Rep. Carol Maloney
-- Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy
-- New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine
-- New Jersey Sen. Frank Lautenberg
-- Former New Jersey Sen. Bill Bradley
He must not have cared much for Obama as he only kicked in a few thousand to him. Of course since Obama accepted contribution from anywhere, even anonymously, unlike other candidates, who can really know?
Will these recipients and the DNC give back this money that really wasn't Madoff's in the first place?

Review of the Echostar TR-40CRA Digital Tuner
I just received my Echostar TR-40CRA Digital Tuner from Dish Network. A crazy problem I had was I went to order it on Dish Network's website as I could not find any other website selling it for free after coupon, and their website told me that I had to call their 800 number to order it because I have had Dish Network service in the past. I have no idea why that made a difference.
While the purchase was going through, the woman on the phone went through a long, written spiel about how Dish Network was not responsible if I couldn't receive a good signal, and that this box cannot receive satellite signals. Then to confuse things, she told me that usually they charge a fee to accept payment by phone (remember, I was required to call), and that future payments would result in a fee. (Strange since I was not paying anything other than the tax and shipping.)
Once I received the unit I swapped it out from the Magnavox Walmart special I was using. I have to say, what a great unit. If you are used to Dish Network service you will find this very similar. It has a guide similar to Dish Network, listing all the channels available and it goes out farther than the stations provide information for. Even better was that I could browse other channel titles while staying on the same channel.
The one drawback I have found is that the DTV box uses the same remote codes that the satellite boxes use. I haven't investigated whether I can change the address to the DTV box's remote. I know I can do that with the Dish Network satellite receiver, but I have universal remotes to control the satellite box, and if I change the address, there is no codes to control the satellite box using other addresses.

cost of Inaugeration during this recession
My goodness! So far the estimated cost of Obama's inaugeration event is $170 million. Do you remember when the lefty goofy loosy liberals were so up in arms when Bush's event cost almost $70 million? Of course you don't remember. No doofus loosy lefty reporter would ever admit to it now.

What a load of loons!
Oh! This is good! Have you heard off and on that there is some fear that someone might try and assassinate the chosen One? I wonder who would try and do something like that? Some goofy skinhead or right-leaning gun lover? Let's take a general look at history and previous attempts on presidents' lives. Can you guess which way these dingle berries lean? LEFT! I'm not posting the proof. You look it up as I did.
