IS THIS ENOUGH YET..how much more does it take!!!!!!!!!!
MCLEAN, Virginia - The federal government's most secure prison has
determined that two books written by President Barack Obama contain
material "potentially detrimental to national security" and rejected an
inmate's request to read them.
Ahmed Omar Abu Ali is serving a 30-year sentence at the federal
supermax prison in Florence, Colorado, for joining al-Qaida and
plotting to assassinate then-President George W. Bush. Last year, Abu
Ali requested two books written by Obama: "Dreams from My Father" and
"The Audacity of Hope."
But prison officials, citing guidance from the FBI, determined that
passages in both books contain information that could damage national
security.
A prison spokeswoman referred questions to the FBI, where a spokeswoman was looking into the matter Thursday evening.
The documents detailing the prison's rejection of Obama's books are
included in court papers for a resentencing hearing scheduled later
this month for Abu Ali, a U.S. citizen.
What passages? Seems on foreign affairs...now this could be a benign reason..oh who the hell am I kidding.......I can't even pretend to be objective anymore with this man. Enough now..enough. Prison officials cite specific pages - but not specific passages - in
the books that they deem objectionable. They include one page in
Obama's 1995 book, "Dreams from My Father," and 22 separate pages in
his policy-oriented 2006 book, "The Audacity of Hope." It was not
immediately obvious what passages might have been deemed problematic,
though nearly half of the pages cited are in a chapter devoted to
foreign affairs.
WHY, could it be that the Feds don't want Obama's own words used against them? OR will the FBI come up with some plausible theory..as, "this is SOP and we don't allow them to read any books by a President as it can be used for reasons other than defense, blah blah blah" And one more thing..IMPEACH HIM!

There comes a point when even I believe I can't take anymore. Yes, I rant here, and I rave..I emote through my words, since it is in my personality not to do so otherwise.. I feared from the moment of his coronation (and Sir Malachi and I predicted on November 4, 2008 that we would see this day) - that this man, this most unAmerican, fraudulent traitor would surrender to the enemy. YES THE ENEMY. His worry? INDIA?? He should be worried about India..but how about his worry being US, if he does this..if he orders us to talk to the very ones that are butchering their own children, were responsible for 9-11, are the evil of evil in this world..talking to Satan's imps - making deals with the devil...I ...well I..don't know what we do..What can we do? How can he even be considering this? CRUSH THEM. DEFEAT THEM. DESTROY THEM. TALK TO WHAT? SIGN A PACT WITH WHO?? The Taliban and Osama are one you moron..they will use this in the same way they used the so called cease fire in the Swat Valley..I can't believe I witnessed what I just witnessed. NOW, could this senior official have it wrong? Maybe. But for their faults, Anderson Cooper can be a damn fine investigative journalist..this is a trial ballon with our lives. You could increasingly see that our troops, our Marines, our Army were being given orders with restrictions..This coming after the same day we learn that the Taliban is buying and selling children for suicide bombings..and we want talk to them?? TALK ABOUT WHAT?? A TIME OUT????????? Bring them home. There I said it. If we are not going to allow our military to crush the enemy and slam them back into the rubble of hell - then what are we there for? I said this before and I will again, if Obama MUST be politically removed from office.

Watch for this to get ugly very quickly..then again, China will crush them. Excuse me, Iran revolutionary icon people..hello?? oh that's right, not media worthy..Personally, I can't stand either side, but if this nation is going to get nuts over a fight between mullahs in Iran, I would like to know where they stand on this one? Big Talkers?? hello.. China has ordered mosques in its restive western city of Urumqi not to open for Friday prayers.
The
order comes after several days of ethnic violence between Uighur
Muslims and Han Chinese. At least 156 people have been killed so far.
Thousands of troops remain in Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang province, to try to maintain order.
The Chinese authorities have vowed to administer "severe punishment" to those involved in the riots.
Many mosques have been closed since the fighting broke out on Sunday.
I will be quite blunt. I can't stand the Communist Chinese Government, and I can't stand the Uguhers, so what do we do? Where do you stand? You see those that scream for 'freedom' are the same ones that would now side with the Chinese..or wait would that be the Muslims...ahhhhh, think about it please before you involve yourselves in a so called 'revolution' that is anything but.........

As we all feared...There are many parents that are anxious and worried about the upcoming school year with regards to this virus. I honestly don't know what to tell you to do. This is a highly personal decision that you will have to make for your child. No one has the right, one way or another to judge your decisions. I can only hope that you take these few months to get all the information that is available to you and make the best possible decision for your family. School-age children will be a key target population for a pandemic flu
vaccine in the fall, and they may be vaccinated at school in a mass
campaign not seen since the polio epidemics of the 1950s.
The federal government should get about 100 million doses of vaccine by
mid-October, if the current production by five companies goes as
planned. But enough vaccine for wide use by the 120 million people
especially vulnerable to the newly emerged strain of H1N1 influenza
virus will not be available until later in the fall.
Those were among the messages administration officials delivered to
about 500 state, territorial, city and tribal health officials
yesterday at a "flu summit" at the National Institutes of Health's
Bethesda campus.
President Obama, speaking by audio link from the Group of Eight
summit in L'Aquila, Italy, urged "complete ownership" of preparations
for what he termed a "significant outbreak" of H1N1 flu in the next few
months.

And we wonder why we are in the crapper..Granted, number wise we are behind the eight ball - she will undoubtedly get confirmed - but this 'teaching moment' GOP style is going to be painful. FIGHT, FIGHT on Constitutional grounds - that is the most futile teaching ground you could possibly have...
A Judiciary Committee press release lists Frank Ricci and Ben Vargas
as expected Republican witnesses. Ricci was the lead plaintiff in Ricci
v. New Haven, the controversial case in which Sotomayor ruled the New
Haven fire department acted constitutionally when it promoted black
firefighters who scored lower than their white counterparts on a
qualifying test. Vargas, who is Hispanic, was the only non-white
co-plaintiff in the racially charged case I listened to Sen Whitehouse on the Senate floor this afternoon honestly, (and yes he meant this!) ask, "Now I ask you, are Ginsburg and Souter outside the mainstream? NO they are not!" arhhhhhhhhghhhhhhh. He rambled on and on about how 'moderate' and in fact..(hold on to your chairs) "conservative" Sotomayer is in her rulings... Fight? Teach? Or both?

Back off my cheese popcorn! I lived on that in high school...soylent green, that's all I am saying...So what are they going to substitute, Kashi bars?????? Oh this is trouble waiting to happen...Granted we don't want our kids going all junk food, but for God's sake already - what's next, will they have the power to monitor the vending machines in all the Gov't owned businesses..? HIDE THE DORITOS JANET IS COMING!!!!!!!!! The U.S. Agriculture Departmentwould be given the power to regulate
all food sold in schools -- including vending machine snacks -- when
Congress renews child nutrition programs, the chairman of the Senate
Agriculture Committee said on Tuesday.
Chairman Tom Harkin said he hopes the committee will start work on
legislation to reauthorize school lunch programs in October or
November, with a goal to conclude the work by the end of the year.
"I can tell you it won't be this month," Harkin told reporters who
asked when work would begin. He said precedence must go, for now, to
his work on health care reform and on drafting the annual federal
spending bills.
Agriculture Committee work on child nutrition will begin with a
draft that gives the USDA the authority to oversee all food in schools,
so nutrition programs are not "undermined" by junk food in vending
machines, Harkin said at a confirmation hearing for the head of the
USDA's nutrition programs.

Well of course it would! We read the bill! We screamed this out from day one - but were told to sit down, hush up and do what is 'best for the country' - we were about to collapse remember? C'mon now - this is how politics works - and they are pros at it. WASHINGTON— Billions of dollars in federal
aid delivered directly to the local level to help revive the economy
have gone overwhelmingly to places that supported President Obama in last year's presidential election.
That aid — about $17 billion — is the first
piece of the administration's massive stimulus package that can be
tracked locally. Much of it has followed a well-worn path to places
that regularly collect a bigger share of federal grants and contracts,
guided by formulas that have been in place for decades and leave little
room for manipulation.
"There's no politics at work when it comes to spending for the recovery," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs says.
Counties that supported Obama last year have
reaped twice as much money per person from the administration's $787
billion economic stimulus package as those that voted for his
Republican rival, Sen. John McCain,
a USA TODAY analysis of government disclosure and accounting records
shows. That money includes aid to repair military bases, improve public
housing and help students pay for college.
It's almost too much to read anymore..

Well at least he has a plan...to destroy us... L’AQUILA, Italy (CNN) — President Barack
Obama revealed to G-8 colleagues at a dinner Wednesday that he’s
planning a nuclear security summit in Washington for next March,
according to senior administration officials.
Obama first raised the idea of bringing major nations together for
such a summit earlier in the week at a news conference with Russian
President Dmitry Medvedev. Obama said then he would like a follow-up
summit held in Moscow to deal with the thorny issue of preventing
nations like Iran and North Korea from getting nuclear weapons.
But getting G-8 members like Russia to sign on to new sanctions against Iran is proving difficult for Obama.
coming soon..the Terrorist Summit???

Torches, Albany..it's a good thing. Herr Hiter, Paterson is now appointing who he wants, when he wants it for his own good - disregarding the LAW and the state Constitution. HE MUST BE REMOVED. From the top down..from Obama to our state Governors they rule with an iron fist, the rule of law is nothing to them...a true hostage in NYS.
Ravitch is a former chairman of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, respected by Democrats and Republicans. He recently championed
an MTA bailout plan intended to spare riders from steep fare increases.
He was chosen by then-Gov. Hugh Carey to help dig New York out of its
1974 fiscal crisis.
The Governor says his appointment will make it clear who his
successor is and create a presiding officer for the Senate. The
Lieutenant Governor would potentially be able to break the 31-31 tie
with a vote.
Ravitch will be in Albany Thursday morning.
Democrats applauded the decision, saying they will be back to work tomorrow to pass important legislation.
Republicans insist there will be a legal challenge and say the appointment does nothing to break the impasse in the Senate.
Another extraordinary session is called for 3:00 pm on Thursday.
Earlier this week, Attorney General Andrew Cuomo said he does not
believe, in his opinion, the Governor can make the appointment.
The Lieutenant Governor's post has been vacant since early 2008 when
David Paterson became governor following Eliot Spitzer's resignation.
The senate has been gridlocked for the past 31 days since
Republicans engineered a coup that resulted in the 31-31 power split.
Governor Paterson's staff contacted several people
about the possibility of naming a lieutenant governor. One of them is a
Western New Yorker who said "It's not legal".
Dr. Peter J.
Galie, a professor at Canisius College, is an expert on the New York
constitution. He said an attorney for the governor called him to see if
the governor had the right under the constitution to appoint a
lieutenant governor. Dr. Galie told them no, it would be illegal.
"The
provision says, when the law otherwise doesn't provide for it, but
here's the law that provides for it: 'In the case of the lieutenant
governor alone or the lieutenant governor should be impeached or absent
from the state, the temporary president of the senate shall perform all
duties of the lieutenant governor during such a vacancy or inability.'
Now that clearly provides for the vacancy," said Galie.
"The problem is we don't know who the temporary president is," 2 On Your Side's Josh Boose said to Galie.
"The
problem is we don't have a temporary president," Galie replied. "That's
the defect. We do not have a constitutional provision that allows us to
fulfill that."
"He cannot appoint a lieutenant governor under the New York constitution as it presently stands," said Galie.
There
could have been says Assemblyman Robin Schimminger (D-140th District).
He brought forward legislation twice that would have allowed the
governor to appoint a lieutenant governor in a time of crisis but it
would have required the approval of both the assembly and the senate.
"What happened to that legislation?" asked Schimminger.
"One year it passed the assembly, but we were caught up in the question about who will confirm," said Schimminger.
"Bottom line here, the legislation, died?" asked Boose.
"It did not pass," Schimminger said.
