Open Question: During the 2008 VP debate Palin Said it was the Predatory Lender's that caused the Real estate Meltdown?

And she promised that herself, and her maverick partner were going to Regulate on the Banks, and on Walstreet. That Followed the question if the Housing meltdown was caused by Predatory/Loan/Walstreet or By the Home Buyers. Why is she now campaigning against Walstreet reform? Do conservatives not care that she flip flops on Issues like this? Of how about the Bail out that she Campaigned in support of, now she's blaming the bailouts on Barack Obama? more

Open Question: Is Obama Jimmy Carter II or is he the Dukakis administration that never was?

As Barack Obama sees his ratings descend toward the high 30s, he is increasingly described as the second coming of James Earl Carter Jr., whose presidency, gone but hardly forgotten, lives on in masochists’ minds. The comparison is unkind and not quite on target: This is less Carter II than the lost presidency of Michael Dukakis, which seemed a sure thing at this date 22 years ago, and from which we were saved by the elder George Bush. Of course, no one thought Dukakis could be the messiah, but in other ways the connections are strong: both creatures of the liberal Northeast and of Harvard, with no sense at all of most of the rest of the country; both rationalists who impose legalistic criteria on emotion-rich subjects; both with fixed ideas of who society’s victims are, which do not accord with the views of the public; and both with a tin ear for the culture and a genius for creating wedge issues that split their own party. Obama has the Carter naïveté in foreign affairs—treating allies like foes, and vice versa—but it is the Dukakis campaign that provides the better parallel. http://weeklystandard.com/sites/all/files/imagecache/teaser-large/images/teasers/LOG.15-47.Emery_.AP-MichaelESamojeden.jpg more

Resolved Question: Is President Obama trying to "vacation" himself out of winning the next election?

He's on vacation again! When Obama took office he was criticized for trying to do too much at once. He was dealing with too many issues and we got the impression he was a workaholic. Where did that guy go? Ever since he passed his Healthcare Reform Bill he seems like a different person. Is he bipolar or schizophrenic or something? VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass. – President Barack Obama had a simple task for his first morning on vacation: shoot over to a Martha's Vineyard bookstore to fill out his daughters' summer reading list and grab himself a novel. This may be down time for Obama, but like all modern presidents he must move about with a not insignificant entourage. It includes security officers and their array of arms, as well as advisers, friends in and out of politics, and a cook who doubles as a golfing buddy. "They all have it and they all hate it," said Ron Kaufman, political director for former President George H.W. Bush. "Every president that I know has been accused of taking off too much time and ignoring the responsibilities of their job. But the truth is, they never get away from it."Steven: I would agree with you if we weren't in the worst Recession since the Depression. Millions of Americans can't even think about affording a vacation and the Obamas should be more sensitive to this. Prior Presidents and prior vacations are irrelevant. more

Resolved Question: What do you think Sheriff to Obama: Give me a half hour, I'll show you how to secure the border?

Sheriff Paul Babeu of Pinal County, Ariz., is issuing an invitation to President Barack Obama: If the president will come and spend a half hour with Babeu in Arizona, the sheriff says, he will convince the president he can succeed in securing the border and thus make himself into a hero who transcends partisan politics. Babeu's southern Arizona county, while not contiguous with the border, has been designated by the Justice Department as part of a High Intensity Drug Trafficking region that is a major route for drug and alien smugglers bringing narcotics and illegal aliens into the United States from Mexico. Babeu has joined with Sheriff Larry Dever of neighboring Cochise County, Ariz.-which does sit on the border-as well as with Arizona's two senators, John McCain and Jon Kyl, in endorsing a ten-point plan for securing the border. Noting that President Obama has visited Afghanistan to assess the security situation there, CNSNews.com asked Babeu in a videotaped interview whether he would like the president visit with him in Arizona so he can have the opportunity to persuade the president that his plan to secure the border will work. "If the president gave me a half hour, I am confident that I could convince him and to show him the way that he can personally secure the border, and he would be the hero of everybody that truly transcends bipartisan politics and secures that border," said Babeu. "I believe that if a leader truly wanted to do that we have the means and the resources necessary to secure our border and to protect America once and for all, and then we can get to the point in the future, only after the border is secure, that there is some type of discussion about what do we do with the approximate 13 million people who are here illegally." http://newsbusters.org/blogs/terence-p-jeffrey/2010/08/18/ariz-sheriff-obama-give-me-half-hour-ill-show-you-how-secure-bord more

Open Question: Is Barack Hussein Obama Barry Soetoro Dunham a CIA agent?

"On the banned list are any questions about Obama’s post-Columbia University employment with Business International Corporation (BIC), a global financial and political information company that WMR previously reported was a front for the CIA. White House Press Corps members have been quietly told that any questions related to BIC, Obama’s withheld records while he was a student at Occidental College in Los Angeles from 1979 to 1981, or his records at Columbia, are forbidden. At the same time he was attending Occidental, Obama, using the name Barry Soetoro and an Indonesian passport issued under the same name, traveled to Pakistan during the U.S. buildup to assist the Afghan mujaheddin." more

Resolved Question: Do You agree with Castro that this is interesting?

HAVANA – Fidel Castro is showcasing a theory long popular both among the far left and far right: that the shadowy Bilderberg Group has become a kind of global government, controlling not only international politics and economics, but even culture. The 84-year-old former Cuban president published an article Wednesday that used three of the only eight pages in the Communist Party newspaper Granma to quote — largely verbatim — from a 2006 book by Lithuanian-born writer Daniel Estulin. Estulin's work, "The Secrets of the Bilderberg Club," argues that the international group largely runs the world. It has held a secretive annual forum of prominent politicians, thinkers and businessmen since it was founded in 1954 at the Bilderberg Hotel in Holland. Castro offered no comment on the excerpts other than to describe Estulin as honest and well-informed and to call his book a "fantastic story." Estulin's book, as quoted by Castro, described "sinister cliques and the Bilderberg lobbyists" manipulating the public "to install a world government that knows no borders and is not accountable to anyone but its own self." The Bilderberg group's website says its members have "nearly three days of informal and off-the-record discussion about topics of current concern" once a year, but the group does nothing else. It said the meetings were meant to encourage people to work together on major policy issues. The prominence of the group is what alarms critics. It often includes members of the Rockefeller family, Henry Kissinger, senior U.S. and European officials and major international business and media executives. The excerpt published by Castro suggested that the esoteric Frankfurt School of socialist academics worked with members of the Rockefeller family in the 1950s to pave the way for rock music to "control the masses" by diverting attention from civil rights and social injustice. "The man charged with ensuring that the Americans liked the Beatles was Walter Lippmann himself," the excerpt asserted, referring to a political philosopher and by-then-staid newspaper columnist who died in 1974. "In the United States and Europe, great open-air rock concerts were used to halt the growing discontent of the population," the excerpt said. Castro — who had an inside seat to the Cold War — has long expressed suspicions of back-room plots. He has raised questions about whether the Sept. 11 attacks were orchestrated by the U.S. government to stoke military budgets and, more recently suggested that Washington was behind the March sinking of a South Korean ship blamed on North Korea. Estulin's own website suggests that the 9/11 attacks were likely caused by small nuclear devices, and that the CIA and drug traffickers were behind the 1988 downing of a jetliner over Lockerbie, Scotland, that was blamed on Libya. The Bilderberg conspiracy theory has been popular on both extremes of the ideological spectrum, even if they disagree on just what the group wants to do. Leftists accuse the group of promoting capitalist domination, while some right-wing websites argue that the Bilderberg club has imposed Barack Obama on the United States to advance socialism. Some of Estulin's work builds on reports by Big Jim Tucker, a researcher on the Bilderberg Group who publishes on right-wing websites. "It's great Hollywood material ... 15 people sitting in a room sitting in a room determining the fate of mankind," said Herbert London, president of the Hudson Institute, a nonpartisan policy think tank in New York. "As someone who doesn't come out of the Oliver Stone school of conspiracy, I have a hard time believing it," London added. A call to a Virginia number for the American Friends of Bilderberg rang unanswered Wednesday and the group's website lists no contact numbers. Castro, who underwent emergency intestinal surgery in July 2006 and stepped down as president in February 2008, has suddenly begun popping up everywhere recently, addressing Cuba's parliament on the threat of a nuclear war, meeting with island ambassadors at the Foreign Ministry, writing a book and even attending the dolphin show at the Havana aquarium. more

Resolved Question: What do you think Boston judge blasts leak in Obama aunt asylum case?

BOSTON (AP) - A judge who granted asylum to President Barack Obama's African aunt ruled she deserved to stay in the United States because a federal government official leaked her status to a news organization, making her a potential target for persecution in her native Kenya. U.S. Immigration Judge Leonard Shapiro blasted the leak by the unnamed official in his 29-page ruling granting asylum to Zeituni Onyango in May. His written decision was released this week through the Freedom of Information Act and first was reported by The Boston Globe. Shapiro found that a federal government official disclosed Onyango's immigration status and her relationship to Obama to The Associated Press three days before the November 2008 election in which Obama was elected as the first black president. The AP's story stated that Onyango, the half sister of Obama's late father, had been living illegally in the United States after an immigration judge rejected her request for asylum four years earlier. Information about Onyango's case was disclosed and confirmed by two sources, one of them a federal law enforcement official. Onyango, 58, has been living in public housing in Boston. Shapiro called the disclosure "a reckless and illegal violation of her right to privacy which has exposed her to great risk," and he criticized the official for using the information for political reasons. "The disclosure intentionally linked the Respondent's status as an asylum applicant with President Obama's presidential campaign, and the effect was to politicize confidential information about the Respondent which the United States government had no authority to release," Shapiro wrote. "The illegality and political ramifications of this breach were made apparent when, following the breach, President (George W.) Bush swiftly issued a directive requiring federal agents to obtain high-level approval before arresting fugitive immigrants." Shapiro found that because Onyango's identity and status were disclosed, she would be a target in Kenya not only for those who oppose the United States and Obama but for members of the Kenyan government "who oppose President Obama's politics and/or his ethnicity, which the Respondent shares." A Department of Homeland Security official speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the issue said an internal investigation launched into the leak in 2008 is expected to come to an end soon. In his ruling, Shapiro said the Department of Homeland Security acknowledged Onyango was identified in the media as an asylum applicant but did not concede the disclosure was made by a U.S. government official. DHS argued the disclosure "did not create a new risk of harm" to Onyango because the AP article did not reveal any facts about her asylum claim and because she and her attorney later gave some details about the claim to the media. The agency said the disclosure did not put her at risk, citing other family members in Kenya who have not been harmed. It also noted the Kenyan government celebrated Obama's election as president and sponsored a delegation of several family members to travel to the 2009 presidential inauguration in Washington, D.C. Shapiro, however, said Onyango's relationship to Obama is distinct from her Kenyan family members' relationships to him because she has lived in the United States since 2000 and applied for U.S. asylum. One of Onyango's Cleveland-based lawyers, Scott Bratton, said the asylum process is confidential, in part to protect people who may be sent back to their home countries. Leaking the information just before the election put Onyango at greater risk, he said. "She is known to everybody now," he said. "She is known to have applied for asylum. She's been thrust into the spotlight, and because of that she has a fear of returning." In Obama's memoir, "Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance," he affectionately referred to Onyango as Auntie Zeituni and described meeting her during his 1988 trip to Kenya. Onyango's case inflamed the national debate over immigration, with some questioning whether Onyango had been given special treatment because of her relationship with the president. The White House has said Obama had no involvement in the case. Bratton also said the president played no role. "This wasn't a favor to the president," he said. "The president wasn't involved in this case at all. She went through the asylum process just like anybody else would, and the case was granted." Onyango initially came to the U.S. in 2000. Her first request for political asylum in 2002 was rejected, and she was ordered deported in 2004. But she didn't leave the country and continued to live in Boston. A judge later agreed to suspen more

Voting Question: How did Obama manage to lose the support of the Democrat party?

In 20 months, he went from most beloved to most reviled within his own party! Dems Outraged Over Obama’s Ground Zero Mosque Comments Democrats were frustrated today with Barack Obama’s radical stance on the Ground Zero Mosque. Obama supports a mosque at Ground Zero along with only 20% of voters. A vast majority of Americans do not want a victory mosque built near the former World Trade buildings. The Politico reported: Democrats – at least the ones willing to comment at all — could barely contain their frustration over Obama’s remarks Friday night, saying they would further complicate campaign efforts by candidates struggling in an anti-Democratic year, particularly moderates in conservative-leaning districts who already are 2010’s most vulnerable contenders. “I would prefer the president be a little more of a politician and a little less of a college professor,” former Rep. Martin Frost (D-Tex.), who once ran the House Democratic campaign arm, wrote in POLITICO’s Arena. “While a defensible position, it will not play well in the parts of the country where Democrats need the most help.” Obama himself had steered clear of the issue for weeks, with his spokesman Robert Gibbs telling reporters that it was primarily a local issue. But at a Friday White House Iftar dinner, Obama said that while he understands Ground Zero is “hallowed ground,” he told a group of Muslims that he believes they have “the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in the country.” “And that includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in Lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances,” he said. http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2010/08/dems-outraged-over-obamas-ground-zero-mosque-comments/ I bet Obama wishes he'd spent more time working on his golf. more

Resolved Question: Do You Agree That There Should Be a Law Ban on Cell Phones in Federal Prisons?

President Obama signs into law ban on cell phones in federal prisons Hoping to stop federal inmates from directing crimes from behind bars, President Barack Obama signed into law Tuesday a prohibition on cell phone use by prisoners. The law prohibits the use or possession of mobile phones and wireless devices, and calls for up to a year in prison for anyone found guilty of trying to smuggle one to an inmate. The Federal Bureau of Prisons confiscated more than 2,600 cell phones from minimum security facilities and nearly 600 from secure federal institutions last year. "Now that this bill has become law, prison gangs will no longer be able to use cell phones to direct criminal attacks on individuals, to decide territory for the distribution of drugs, or conduct credit card fraud," said Sen. Diane Feinstein, D-California, a co-sponsor of the bill. "Making it illegal for criminals to use cell phones and wireless devices in federal prison cuts their communication link and helps keep our communities safe," said her Republican counterpart, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa. Cell phones are prized among inmates, officials said. A government report said California prison inmates pay $500 to $1,000 per cell phone. The new law calls for a government study to be issued in a year to measure the effectiveness of the new prohibition. Authorities say federal inmates use cell phones to direct criminal activities The new law prohibits use or possession of mobile phones and wireless devices Anyone convicted of trying to smuggle a phone to an inmate can get a year in prison Do you Agree with Our President and the Democrat Majority house and Senate? Or do you think cell phones should be allowed to inmate?? Add Stars!!!! more

Resolved Question: Will you join the cause Evangelical activist asks fellow Christians for sympathy toward illegal immigrants?

NAPERVILLE, Ill. — A handwritten sign on the church door announces the event where Matthew Soerens, fluent in Spanish, the Bible and the nation's immigration laws, will try to win converts. For months, he has been seeking out evangelical pastors locally and around the country, hoping to persuade them that immigration reform is a Christian imperative, even though the issue is so explosive that many ministers won't go near it. "I've heard people in churches saying things about immigrants that would make me kind of cringe," Soerens says. On this night, he is speaking at Community Christian Church in Naperville, a megachurch with several sites in Chicago's western suburbs. In neighbouring Aurora, where the church has a campus, the number of immigrants has grown so steadily that some of its schools are mostly Latino. Their presence, and their struggles, have drawn notice in the broader church. Soerens' presentation is called, "Who is My Neighbour? A Christian Conversation About Immigration." A small crowd of older couples, 20-somethings and young families is scattered around the auditorium, some with pens poised for taking notes. Soerens barely mentions politics. He almost never talks about advocacy on a first visit to a church. Instead, he reels off Bible verses, from Deuteronomy, Zechariah, Malachi and more, and speaks of the Christian duty to be hospitable toward strangers, even lawbreakers. Then, one-by-one, legal and illegal immigrants, some clutching their children, take the stage to tell how they face separation from their families. Pastors from other churches who helped sponsor the event pray over each immigrant and ask the audience to participate. "I think the rule of law is important and I don't think that we should pretend that the law wasn't broken," Soerens says later. "But we don't look at people and say, 'These are citizens and these are aliens.' We say, 'These are all people made in God's image.' That's everyone." Several prominent evangelical leaders agree. They have publicly supported some steps that would ease a path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. In July, when President Barack Obama gave a major speech seeking to restart his stalled immigration overhaul, he was introduced by influential pastor Bill Hybels, founder of Willow Creek Community Church in Illinois. Other well-known evangelicals attended, including the Rev. Richard Land, head of the public policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention. Yet, as Soerens has found through his work, evangelical churchgoers are in a far different place. Law-and-order is still the focus and sympathy for illegal immigrants is thin. Soerens is trying to change that, one church at a time. http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianpress/article/ALeqM5hddq4EzACD5nrUM_yRzwTOHb4Erw How about these same folks go to Mexico and preach this to Mexico ?

Resolved Question: How come Barack Obama cares so much for Muslim "equality", but opposes gay marriage?

He overcame his Christian believes to celebrate Ramadan at the White House‬‪ (in spirit of equality): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gDLvzr5fCo And there is going to be a mosque or Muslim center or whatever built near ground zero on his approval. But as for gay marriage his "Christian" beliefs magically popped up as more important than equality. Barack Obama: "I'm a Christian. And so, although I try not to have my religious beliefs dominate or determine my political views on this issue, I do believe that tradition, and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman." source: http://lesbianlife.about.com/od/lesbianactivism/p/BarackObama.htm@A Sneaky Beaver I was talking about Obama's hypocricy and how he switches his "Christianity" on and off.@Your Momma: That was his quote and you know what I meant by the question, don't you... I wanted opinions in case you don't.@Thunder Thunder You are just saying that all the bad things we know about Muslims are lies and all the good ones aren't. That's definitely a lie. You're also playing a victim after Obama risks his reputation for Muslims. That is so low.@ Kayla If there is nothing he can do about gay marriage, than who can? Also, if that was the reason, why wouldn't he say so?@ Jackal If I would switch gay marriage and mosque near ground zero in what you said, it would make just as much sense.@TheGoldenGael That's definitely not true. Sharia low which is the main thing of Islam instructs executions for homosexuals. I also talked to Muslims online and they were extremly homophobic. I even recieved answers from Muslims saying they see gay as abominations on this site.@ Treasure Island Yeah, that's from Christianity. Old Testament, which Christians don't follow as much as New Testament which is much more tolerant of gays than of other religions.@ Tagboy So you think he doesn't understand that gay guys find it just as difficult to have sex with women and therefore he is incapable of being fair when it comes to gays but he fully understands Muslims? more

Resolved Question: Do you agree with Barack Hussein Obama's stand on the New York mosque issue?

Voting Question: Obama refused to have breakfast with Christians on National Prayer Day, but is doing so with muslimsat Ramadan?

Do you think he's just a liar, again? Barack Obama has extended his best wishes to Muslims in America and around the world and announced that he will host a fast-breaking dinner at the White House this week. http://abna.ir/data.asp?lang=3&id=198981 "I want to extend my best wishes to the 1.5 billion Muslims around the world -- and your families and friends -- as you welcome the beginning of Ramadan," Obama said in an official statement issued by the US State Department. "Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality. And here in the United States, Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been part of America." The White House, he said, would host fast breaking dinner. "I look forward to hosting an Iftar dinner celebrating Ramadan here at the White House later this week, and wish you a blessed month." For years, the National Day of Prayer breakfast has been a staple of the White House calendar. Last May, Obama cancelled it with no comment. http://articles.latimes.com/2009/may/08/nation/na-prayer8 Obama's not a Muslim. We know this because he told us so. He says he's a Christian, but he won't have breakfast with Christians. However, he'll breakfast with Muslims. He's correct about Islam being part of American history, though. Islam was America's first external threat. http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/jefferson_papers/mtjprece.html More than two hundred years ago the newly established United States made its first attempt to fight an overseas battle to protect its private citizens by building an international coalition against an unconventional enemy. Then the enemies were pirates and piracy. The focus of the United States and a proposed international coalition was the Barbary Pirates of North Africa. Every last one of the Barbary Pirates was a Muslim, so Obama is technically correct when he says, "...Islam has always been part of America." President Thomas Jefferson went to war against Islam when it attacked American interests.

Resolved Question: Is this a justified law?

"HONOLULU — The persistent quest for President Barack Obama's Hawaii birth certificate has died down since the state passed a law allowing it to ignore repetitive requests for the document." "Far fewer "birthers," who claim Obama is ineligible to be president, have asked state officials to provide the document since the law was enacted in May, according to the state. Hawaii law has long barred the release of a certified birth certificate to anyone who does not have a tangible interest. State Health Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino issued statements last year and in October 2008 saying that she's seen and verified Obama's original vital records. Obama celebrated his 49th birthday on Wednesday." "In response, the Department of Health has offered to provide hundreds of sheets of index data if requesters will pay for it. At 25 cents per page, the 1961 birth index data would cost $98.75. So far, no one has paid for the papers." I think it is, the Hawai'i dept of health has far more important things to do then be bothered by these loons. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hmY0QbztBYUfvaCiGkFPJ-enKz_wD9HEPGKO0 more

Resolved Question: Is it wrong for me as an adult to think that Veronica Lodge is very sexy? lol?

I'm sorry. I just think that comic character is very sexy and hot. especially the recent comics of Veronica. I'm no comic geek however and rarely collect comics. Just a few recent issues and I'll probably stop after that. :) Another thing is that issue number 199 where I really noticed Veronica comics was the obama issue. I hadn't noticed any comic issues with Barack recently so that did catch my eye. It came out after the initial craze last year and going back further. Wouldn't this issue also be worth more if something major or important were to happen? if, that is, there are no more comics with his face on there other than the possible Mad magazine issues? Well I don't know. I did find that issue, number 199, to be very topical of the current economic situation and it was a colorful edition as well with our current Prez. I just think it might be worth a little more than the other silly issues of him and this issue was drawn more playfully as well and not as serious as say a spiderman comic or some other comic with him on the cover or inside the comic itself. Not an expert hear. Just talking. I guess I put more than a few questions in here. Thank you. more

Resolved Question: Is Paranoia getting the best of Republicans...almost 3/4's think Obama is a not a citizen?

For years and years newspapers published birth's in the paper, two of them reported Obama's birth in Hawaii. These are the facts so far. So if they say he was not born here then they must take issue with the facts and would have to assume that the two Newspapers who reported the Obama birth were somehow in on this scheme in some huge secret "Manchurian Candidate" plot to take over America. They then named him Barack Hussein Obama since this would make it easier for him to get elected President. Does anyone see how this might seem just a little crazy? Do you want these people running this government? more

Resolved Question: What do you think Obama BORN IN THE USA?Oops! Obama mama passport 'destroyed' Obama goes by another name?

Responding to a Freedom of Information Act request, the State Department has released passport records of Stanley Ann Dunham, President Obama's mother – but records for the years surrounding Obama's 1961 birth are missing. The State Department claims a 1980s General Services Administration directive resulted in the destruction of many passport applications and other "non-vital" passport records, including Dunham's 1965 passport application and any other passports she may have applied for or held prior to 1965. Destroyed, then, would also be any records shedding light on whether Dunham did or did not travel out of the country around the time of Barack Obama's birth. The claim made in the FOIA response letter that many passport records were destroyed during the 1980s comes despite a statement on the State Department website that Passport Services maintains U.S. passport records for passports issued from 1925 to the present. The records released, however, contain interesting tidbits of new information about Obama's mother, including the odd listing of two different dates and locations for her marriage to Obama's Indonesian stepfather, Lolo Soetoro. In the released documents Dunham listed both March 15, 1965, in Molokai, Hawaii, and March 5, 1964, in Maui, Hawaii, as the dates and places of her marriage. Dunham later divorced Lolo Soetoro in Hawaii. The divorce decree took effect Nov. 5, 1980, but the divorce papers do not list the date of the marriage. No marriage certificate between Dunham and Soetoro has yet publicly surfaced, but a released application to amend Dunham's 1965 passport to her married name Stanley Ann Soetoro includes a checked box indicating a passport officer had seen the marriage certificate. The released records also document that on Aug. 13, 1968, Dunham applied to have her 1965-issued passport renewed for two years, until July 18, 1970. Under 22 USC Sec. 217a, from 1959 through 1968, passports were initially issued for three years, but they could be renewed for an additional two years. Obama, by any other name Also revealed by the released records is a heretofore unknown, alternative name for Barack Obama. In the 1968 application to renew her 1965 passport, Dunham listed as her son Barack Hussein Obama, including in parenthesis below the name, "Saebarkah," in what appears to be a variation of an Indonesian surname not previously associated in the public record with the president.

Resolved Question: So are Republicans against small business that does the hiring of 75% of Americans, but pro big business?

WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans blocked a bill to increase small business lending Thursday, dealing a setback to President Barack Obama's jobs agenda. The bill would create a $30 billion government fund to help community banks increase lending to small businesses, combining it with about $12 billion in tax breaks aimed at small businesses. Democrats say banks should be able to use the lending fund to leverage up to $300 billion in loans to small businesses, helping to loosen tight credit markets. The fund would be available only to banks with less than $10 billion in assets. Some Republicans, however, likened it to the unpopular bailout of the financial industry. Senate leaders said they will continue to negotiate amendments to the bill. But Thursday's vote will make it difficult for Congress to pass it before lawmakers go on summer vacation. The Senate is in session for another week; the House is scheduled to adjourn Friday. Congressional Democrats started the year with ambitious plans to pass a series of bills designed to create jobs. But if negotiations on the small business lending bill fail, they will have little to show for it just a few months before midterm elections that will determine whether Democrats keep their majorities in the House and Senate. Congress has extended unemployment benefits for people who have been out of work for long stretches and passed a measure that gives tax breaks to businesses that hire unemployed workers. But many other initiatives stalled, in part because of concerns they would add to the growing national debt. Obama lobbied for the small business lending bill during a trip Wednesday to Edison, N.J. But Senate Democrats fell short of the necessary 60 votes Thursday to end a Republican filibuster. The vote was 58 to 42, with all 41 Republicans voting to continue the filibuster. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., also voted to continue the filibuster, but only as a procedural step that allows him to call up the bill again. Much of the bill had bipartisan support, but Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said Democrats were blocking GOP amendments. Reid said Republican demands kept changing. "It takes a lot of effort to make a partisan issue out of a bill that should have broad bipartisan support," McConnell more

Resolved Question: Why do republicans want to hurt small business?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100729/ap_on_bi_ge/us_small_business_lending WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama's election-year jobs agenda suffered a new setback Thursday when Senate Republicans blocked a bill creating a $30 billion government fund to help open up lending for credit-starved small businesses. The fund would be available to community banks with less than $10 billion in assets to help them increase lending to small businesses. The bill would combine the fund with about $12 billion in tax breaks aimed at small businesses. Democrats say banks should be able to use the lending fund to leverage up to $300 billion in loans, helping to loosen tight credit markets. Some Republicans, however, likened it to the unpopular bailout of the financial industry. Democrats had wanted to pass the bill before Congress leaves town for summer vacation, enabling them to reassure anxious voters back home that they were addressing the sluggish economy. Senate leaders continued to negotiate changes to the bill Thursday, but time was short. The Senate is in session for another week; the House is scheduled to adjourn Friday. Congressional Democrats started the year with ambitious plans to pass a series of bills designed to create jobs. But unless they reach a breakthrough on the small business lending bill, they will have little to show for it just a few months before midterm elections that will determine whether Democrats keep their majorities in the House and Senate. Congress has extended unemployment benefits for people who have been out of work for long stretches and passed a measure that gives tax breaks to businesses that hire unemployed workers.

Much of the bill had bipartisan support, but Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said Democrats were blocking GOP amendments. Reid said Republican demands kept changing. "It takes a lot of effort to make a partisan issue out of a bill that should have broad bipartisan support," McConnell said. "But our friends on the other side have managed to pull it off. They've outdone themselves." Reid said he offered to hold votes on some Republican amendments, only to see the list of GOP demands grow. "What we are simply trying to do is pass a bipartisan bill that will help small business owners create jobs," Reid said. "We went to great lengths to address what Republicans claimed were their concerns." GOP amendments included measures to beef up border security, impose a government spending cap and lower the estate tax, which is scheduled to return next year with a top rate of 55 percent on estates larger than $1 million. One Republican amendment would repeal a new tax reporting requirement for businesses that was included in the massive health care overhaul enacted last spring. Democrats, meanwhile, have added about $1.5 billion in disaster relief for farmers who lost crops in 2009, a measure sponsored by Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark. Democrats also wanted to add an amendment to settle long-running class-action lawsuits brought by black farmers and American Indians. One lawsuit concerned the government's management and accounting of more than 300,000 trust accounts of American Indians. The other is a discrimination lawsuit brought by black farmers against the Agriculture Department. The cost of settling them both: about $4.6 billion. The small business tax cuts in the bill include breaks for restaurant owners and retailers who remodel their stores or build new ones. Other businesses could more quickly recover the costs of capital improvements through depreciation. Long-term investors in some small businesses would be exempt from paying capital gains taxes. Much of the bill would be paid for by allowing taxpayers to convert 401(k) and government retirement accounts into Roth accounts, in which they pay taxes up front on the money they contribute, enabling them to withdraw it tax-free after they retire. Taxpayers who convert accounts this year would pay the taxes in 2011 and 2012, generating an estimated $5.1 billion. more

Resolved Question: Anyone else disappointed in Obama?

Well, here goes. I feel as if I am some sort of traitor, but I can't shake my nagging disappointment in Barack Obama. He has tranformed himself from a visionary person on the leading edge to a seasoned, slick, career politician in record time!! Just look at a few examples...Guantanamo..it may never close. Gays/Lesbians in the military, the Bush doctrine show no sign of being eliminated. Iraq..we'll be there a long time. What disappoints me about Obama is he is moving to the center on issues for which there is broad public support for liberal policy goals. Over 70% of the public supports a public option in health care refrom. I understand that he can't be a total outsider, or he won't get anything done, so he has appointed people from past administrations. He needed to balance between change and greasing the existing power structure. But he seems to have gone over to the side of business as usual, and he is squandering his public support. I think more of the "I had a Dream" speech..I think of going beyond competence...and unfortunately, so far, Obama is just more of the same status quo competence my fundemental disappointment in the Obama Administration and Democratic Congress. It has to be about jobs. Not only is the unemployment rate pushing 10% nationally it is much higher in some areas and the ER doesn't even count those that have given up on trying to find a job or those that are underemployed or those that are working multiple low income jobs to survive. All of the other idealogical arguements must take second place to a concerted effort by a Democratic administration, and super majority in Congress, to address the issues of survival for working people. I think the Obama administration is attempting, and failing, to address every social and political issue presented to them. The media and people with too narrow political agendas do not have the patience to allow for a focused attention on the major problems of our timewell, I voted for Obama because I wanted the country to turn in a new direction. For that, I am OVERWHELMING dissatisfiedThe idea that we could have “a man judged by the content of his character rather than the color of his skin” in this country at this time in history captured my imagination and dreams. Therefore, I campaigned for obama ..Obama was a vessel that everybody poured their hopes into."Yes we can"his slogan from the 2008 election, and Be quiet,but the discontent lingers. more

Resolved Question: Do you think there will be a lot of "unintended consequences" as the result of Obama's health care bill?

Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner Kim Holland said a couple of local insurers in her state have done likewise. The administration reacted sharply to the insurance pullback.

Resolved Question: Why is there such a fascination with Sarah Palin?

I admit I am not a fan of hers- not so much because of her political views (most of which I disagree with, but a few of which I do sympathize with). I do not despise her either- I believe everyone has a right to discuss their views. But I tend to question her honesty, her true motives, and her qualifications. She was arguably picked from obscurity (in a sense not wholly unlike Barack Obama). She has a very thin resume- even if we consider her position as Alaska Governor (the largest state by area, but really also the smallest, since it has a miniscule population, smaller than most major U.S. cities). She has few accomplishments to her name. She is not regarded as a brilliant conservative thinker nor commentator (her few appearances on Fox News, for example, as a special commentator went arguably poorly). I do not think one needs an Ivy League or graduate degree to make a difference, but I also believe one must at least show a breadth and depth of knowledge on important issues. And the few people who know her "behind the scenes" have painted a much more unflattering picture of her as a media-seeking self-promoter with an overbloated ego. Even if we discount some criticism as overblown or biased, we are still left with little substantive merit here, aside from her public political views. But even if you agree with her political views, is Sarah Palin really meritorious of her admirers? And what is the fascination with her? I would like to know your take on her. I know many people here would prefer to attack her, but I wish to read from people who like her and to understand why. Thanks. more

Resolved Question: Will the Tea Party take control of the GOP from its big government wing?

http://townhall.com/columnists/MichaelGerson/2010/07/09/on_the_nature_of_political_waves/page/full The article I've linked is by a big government Republican who laments the rise of libertarian-leaning conservatism within the GOP. Here's one particular lowlight from this article: "In America, the ideology of libertarianism is itself a scandal. It involves not only a retreat from Obamaism but a retreat from the most basic social commitments to the weak, elderly and disadvantaged, along with a withdrawal from American global commitments. Libertarianism has a rigorous ideological coldness at its core." Notice that this alleged "conservative" Republican favors "basic social commitments to the weak, elderly, and disadvantaged." These are code-words for the welfare state, which he supports, like any other leftist. Notice as well that this leftist within the Republican Party ranks recognizes that the neo-conservative position on foreign policy that became the position of the Republican Party during the administration of George W. Bush is contrary to the idea of limited government. He later goes on to make the ridiculous claim that support by some Republicans for the immigration law in Arizona (which polls indicate is supported by somewhere around 60% of Americans) is somehow a liability. Although I personally support an open borders immigration policy (although immigration is not a very important issue for me), I know that my position is the one that is an electoral liability. As a radical libertarian, I don't think that the Tea Party or anybody in the Republican Party (including Ron Paul) goes as far as I would like, but I know that there is majority support for a significant rollback of big government, although less than what I regard as ideal. If Ron Paul were to be the nominee for president in 2012 of the GOP, I'm sure that he would be able to get a majority of the country to support abolishing the income tax and the Fed and that he could represent the majority that already want a significant reduction in our foreign entanglements. What would truly be bad for the Republican Party would be to nominate another RINO in 2012, as I'm sure many libertarians and libertarian-leaning conservatives would rather have a 2nd term of a weakened Barack Obama with a hostile Republican Congress rather than a repeat of the disaster that was the George W. Bush administration (I know that if Mitt Romney or some other liberal RINO is the nominee, I'm not voting Republican, just like I didn't vote for McCain in 2008). more

Resolved Question: Did Obama's bribe check bounce to Bloomberg now that a new poll shows 2/3 of America disproves of Obama?

Americans disapprove of U.S. President Barack Obama’s handling of almost every major issue and are deeply pessimistic about the nation’s direction, offering a bullish environment for Republicans in the November congressional elections. A majority or plurality disapproves of Obama’s management of the economy, health care, the budget deficit, the overhaul of financial market regulations and the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, according to a Bloomberg National Poll conducted July 9- 12. In addition, almost 6 in 10 respondents say the war in Afghanistan is a lost cause. The Senate is scheduled to begin voting on the financial regulation bill today. Almost two-thirds say they feel the nation is headed in the wrong direction, an even more sour assessment than in March when 58 percent felt that way. Two-thirds of independent voters are pessimistic, while just 56 percent of Democrats offer a vote of confidence. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-07-14/americans-disappoving-of-obama-policies-poised-to-enable-republican-gains.html more

What do you think Calderon troops ok as long as they do not arrest illegal Mexicans say US has no right to place troops for immigration purposes or to deal with immigration issues," ? Is Mexico trying to run this country ? The US will start sending some 1,200 troops to its border with Mexico in August to help in monitoring and arresting illegal immigrants, officials say. The deployment is part of President Barack Obama's border plan to reduce drug smuggling and human trafficking on the US-Mexican border. Obama asked for $500 million in supplemental funds from the Congress in late May to deploy more troops to secure the almost 3,200-kilometer (2,000-mile) border. The Army and Air National Guard troops "will provide direct support to federal law enforcement officers and agents working in high-risk areas to disrupt criminal organizations seeking to move people and goods illegally across the southwest border," AFP quoted Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano as saying on Monday. Gen. Craig McKinley, commander of the National Guard, said that the troops will be trained in four border states, including California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, by September 1. Mexico's President Felipe Calderon has expressed discontent with the decision. Mexico does not object to US plans to station troops along the border between the two nations as long as the soldiers do not arrest Mexicans trying to get into the United States, President Felipe Calderon said. "They have a commitment to uphold the law on the American side and not to use the National Guard for immigration purposes or to deal with immigration issues," Calderon said. The announcement came as a controversial new Arizona immigration law, which takes effect July 29, allows police to ask anyone they suspect of being in the state illegally about their immigration status. The legislation is deemed racist, as it would allow law enforcement officers to single out individuals based on the individual's appearance. The US government has sued Arizona to halt implementation. It says only the federal government can handle immigration issues. http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=135507&sectionid=351020705 more

Resolved Question: Liberal Journalists using any means necessary to stifle debate?

A group of liberal journalists in 2008 sought to sweep under the rug the Rev. Jeremiah Wright scandal that threatened to derail then-Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign, according to documents obtained by The Daily Caller. The documents offer evidence to conservative critics who have long held that the mainstream media were in the tank for Obama, and bolsters the argument that reporters with major news outlets are biased in their coverage. Journalists working for Time, Politico, the Huffington Post, the Baltimore Sun, the Guardian, Salon and the New Republic expressed outrage over the tough questioning Obama received from ABC anchors Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos at a debate and some of them plotted to protect Obama from the swirling controversy, according to the Daily Caller. Spencer Ackerman of the Washington Independent pressed his fellow journalists to deflect attention from Obama's relationship with Wright by shifting topics to one of Obama's conservative critics, the Daily Caller reported. Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares – and call them racists," Ackerman wrote. Michael Tomasky, a writer for the Guardian, urged his fellow members of Journolist, a private listserv comprised of several hundred liberal journalists, to do "what we can to kill ABC and this idiocy in whatever venues we have." "This isn't about defending Obama," he wrote. "This is about how the [mainstream media] kills any chance of discourse that actually serves the people." The Journolist members went as far as issuing a statement – one that was shaped with the help of Jared Bernstein who went on to become Vice President Biden's top economist -- calling the debate "a revolting descent into tabloid journalism and a gross disservice to Americans concerned about the great issues facing the nation and the world." Journolist was shut down last month after leaks exposing member Dave Wiegel's scornful remarks of conservatives led to his resignation at the Washington Post as a blogger covering the conservative movement. more

Resolved Question: What do you think LULAC targeting opponents of immigration reform we going to come after you?

ALBUQUERQUE — The leader of the nation's largest Hispanic rights group said senators and congressmen who don't support President Barack Obama's push for comprehensive immigration reform will be "shaking in their boots." League of United Latin American Citizens President Rosa Rosales predicted Friday the effort will be enacted, and she pledged that her group will aggressively target anyone in Congress who doesn't support reform efforts. Rosales spoke during a panel town hall on immigration reform at the organization's national convention in New Mexico, drawing applause and cheers with a stirring call for LULAC members to hold their elected officials accountable. "We have a list that will show you who's with us and who's not," Rosales said. "Go back to your representatives, your senators and congressmen. If they're not with us, you tell them, look them in the eye and say, 'If you're not for comprehensive immigration reform, I'm going to come after you."' Rosales, wearing a black dress and broad-rimmed black hat, pounded her fist on a lectern as she urged delegates to organize voter registration drives and get voters to the polls. That's the strongest message elected officials will recognize, she said. "If they don't vote with us, they're going to be shaking in their boots because we are going to win," Rosales said. Obama met with Rosales and other Hispanic labor and civil rights leaders last month. Days later, he gave a speech on immigration to in a bid to revive a stalled political issue. "President Obama doesn't even have two years (in office) and we're trying to say, 'No haciende nada,"' Rosales said, referring to complaints the President isn't doing anything on immigration reform. "That is not true," she continued. "He's doing it. He's with us, but he needs help from his friends, and that's how we'll do it — together. And I guarantee you we will help him." The panelists agreed that political empowerment is key to advancing reform, despite a toxic climate in Washington on the issue and an ongoing debate over the Arizona immigration law, the toughest in the nation. Grisella Martinez, policy director for National Immigration Reform, reminded delegates they also need to maintain influence with elected officials who support reform. "Keep reminding people they've gotten to their place because of the work we did for them," she said. "The pressure doesn't go away just because we're friends." Angelica Salas, executive director of Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, asked how many audience members knew someone who would benefit from immigration reform. She then asked how many believed their communities would benefit. All hands in the room went up both times, and Salas urged LULAC members to communicate stories of individual immigrants to leaders in local communities as Congress takes up the issue. People often don't see the impact of immigration in their towns, she said. For example, California could offset the state's economic woes by adding $60 billion to public coffers if immigrants who currently are undocumented could come out of the shadows and earn higher wages, Salas said. "If we could level the playing field in the workplace, we would all benefit," Salas said. "If we could make it better for families, we would have a better community." http://www.currentargus.com/ci_15536394 more

Resolved Question: Has the world turned against Obama?

The United Nations certainly has: ============================ President Barack Obama has taken some pride in having expanded George W. Bush’s use of “predator drones” to kill suspected terrorists in various countries (even using the phrase as a punch line of a joke at the White House Correspondents Dinner). President Obama even has shown a casual disregard for the suffering caused by these attacks. At this year’s White House Correspondents Dinner, Obama pointed out the Jonas Brothers boy band in attendance, noted that his daughters Sasha and Malia are “huge fans,” and joked: "Boys, don't get any ideas. Two words for you: predator drones. You will never see it coming." “So far,” said international legal authority Francis Boyle of the University of Illinois at Champaign, “all CIA drone attacks have been murders, assassinations, and extrajudicial executions - -a grave violation of international human rights law, the laws of the countries where the attacks took place, and of U.S. domestic law.” “All CIA drone strikes in Pakistan are criminal and a grave violation of international human rights law,” Boyle added. While the laws of war apply to insurgents engaged in armed combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, Boyle said, they do not apply “when they are sleeping at their homes with their families.” Moreover, “it appears that the Pentagon's use of drones has serious problems of discriminating between civilians and insurgents engaged in armed combat, (resulting in a seriously disproportional ratio between allegedly dead insurgents and civilian casualties) which raises the issue of war crimes accountability.” In roughly his first 10 months in office, President Obama okayed at least 41 drone strikes in Pakistan that killed between 326 and 538 people, many of them “innocent bystanders, including children,” according to a study by the non-profit New America Foundation of Washington, D.C. Example: on his third day in the White House, Obama sanctioned two strikes, the second of which mistakenly struck the home of a pro-government tribal leader that killed his entire family, including three children, one as young as five. “The point is,” Louise Doswald-Beck, a professor of international law at the Geneva Graduate Institute in Switzerland, told the AP, “innocent people have been killed, this has been proved over and over again.” Civilian casualties raise the issue of whether remote-controlled drones “can ever be used in a manner consistent with the laws of war in actual war zones such as Iraq and Afghanistan,” Boyle said. The United Nations independent investigator on extrajudicial killings wants countries that employ lethal drone attacks to first prove they have attempted to capture or incapacitate suspects. http://www.consortiumnews.com/2010/060610a.html If Obama kills them all, and liberals do not believe that God will sort them out, does that make remote control vaporizing of these people is okay?

Brief for 9 states backs Arizona immigration law DETROIT (AP) - States have the authority to enforce immigration laws and protect their borders, Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox said Wednesday in a legal brief on behalf of nine states supporting Arizona's immigration law. Cox, one of five Republicans running for Michigan governor, said Michigan is the lead state backing Arizona in federal court and is joined by Alabama, Florida, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas and Virginia, as well as the Northern Mariana Islands. The Arizona law, set to take effect July 29, directs officers to question people about their immigration status during the enforcement of other laws such as traffic stops and if there's a reasonable suspicion they're in the U.S. illegally. President Barack Obama's administration recently filed suit in federal court to block it, arguing immigration is a federal issue. The law's backers say Congress isn't doing anything meaningful about illegal immigration, so it's the state's duty to step up. "Arizona, Michigan and every other state have the authority to enforce immigration laws, and it is appalling to see President Obama use taxpayer dollars to stop a state's efforts to protect its own borders," Cox said in a statement. Arizona's Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, in a statement released by Cox's office, said she was thankful for the support. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20100715/D9GVBRK80.html ============================================ Perhaps Detroit can be saved from failed liberal politics finally.

Here is the latest polls from Washington WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Nearly 60 percent of American voters say they lack faith in President Barack Obama, according to a public opinion poll published on Tuesday. The results of the Washington Post/ABC News poll are a reversal of what voters said at the start of Obama's presidency 18 months ago when about 60 percent expressed confidence in his decision making. Confidence in Obama is at a new low but the poll found that his numbers are still higher than lawmakers of either major party four months ahead of the November congressional elections.

Sixty-eight percent expressed the same sentiments about Democrats in Congress and 72 percent said the same of Republicans.

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/naacp-tea-party-civil-rights-group-considers-resolution/story?id=11144640 In her speech, the first lady focused on the issue of childhood obesity and her "Let's Move" initiative, but outside of her remarks, anti-Tea Party activism has been a key focus of the gathering, which conservative leaders say is driven solely by a political agenda. Tea Party members have used "racial epithets," have verbally abused black members of Congress and threatened them, and protesters have engaged in "explicitly racist behavior" and "displayed signs and posters intended to degrade people of color generally and President Barack Obama specifically," according to the proposed resolution. I have NEVER seen or heard a Tea Party participant bash another race. more

Resolved Question: Why does Obama have a Connecticut SS# and why was is issued in 1979?

Obama is being accused of social security fraud. According to Tim Adams, who's a fomer Senior Elections Clerk for Honolulu, says the Barack Obama was not born in Hawaii. Obama does have a Certificate of live birth which is given to children who's families are residence of Hawaii when children are born out of the United States. Some say that Obama was born while his mother was on a trip overseas. He mentions that there's no proof of Obama being born in Honolulu like Obama claims. Also, private investigators have found that Obama's social security number is from 1890 meaning that Obama is 120 years old. They also found out that his SSN was issued in 1979 from Connecticut and that was during the time Obama was working at Baskin Robins in Hawaii. And they have found no mailing address linked to Obama in Connecticut. What do you guys think? more

Resolved Question: According to Obama, which is it? Either the borders are secure, or they can't be secured?

Two different quotes from Obama, neither of which is true, both of which he said for political convenience... excerpt... President Barack Obama said today that U.S. borders cannot be secured with fences and border patrols. “It won’t work,” he said http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/68883 Anticipating a furor of voter criticism over the July Fourth recess, Democratic lawmakers from the border region shot back at the White House last week, challenging the president’s speech on immigration in which he said that the southern border is secure. Arizona Democratic Reps. Ann Kirkpatrick, Harry Mitchell and Gabrielle Giffords joined a growing Republican chorus in denouncing President Barack Obama for not pushing for more specific action in his Thursday speech on the nation’s immigration and border security issues. Obama said that the U.S.-Mexico border is more secure today than at any time in the past 20 years. But the three Arizona Democrats disagreed. http://thehill.com/homenews/house/107171-arizona-dems-challenge-obamas-address-on-border-securitySo I guess that's his way of saying he has no intention of trying to stop terrorists from coming in to the US, since the border can't be secured? more

Resolved Question: Don’t you Know Israel Does Not Have Any Peace Plan, Even Today?

Don’t you Know Israel Does Not Have Any Peace Plan, Even Today? For more: http://ayaanhirshiali.blogspot.com/2010/07/israel-does-not-have-any-peace-plan.html Stop the crap and the facts are: 1. Cheney: Iraq pullout would hurt Israel. 2. Iraq: A War For Israel. 3. Israel does not have a peace plan. 4. Americans must fight and die for Israel. Arab Benjamin Netanyahu seeks peace 'miracle' •From: AFP •July 09, 2010 12:00AM BUOYED by an upbeat meeting at the White House, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said "miracles" were possible if all sides came together for a peace deal. He pledged to address the thorny issue of settlements as a priority in any talks with the Palestinians. Heading to New York for talks with UN chief Ban Ki-moon, Mr Netanyahu told ABC television he wanted to reach an agreement acceptable to Israelis with the Palestinian Authority President, Mahmoud Abbas. "We want President Abbas to grasp my hand, get into a room, shake it, sit down and negotiate a final settlement of peace between Israel and the Palestinians," he said. He added he was confident that a Middle East peace deal, which has eluded Israeli, Palestinian and US leaders for decades, could be struck. "Don't be so sceptical," Mr Netanyahu said. "Raise your hopes. It's summer time and we can perform miracles if we set our sights to them." Later in an interview on CNN, he accepted Larry King's proposal to talk to Mr Abbas in a three-way television hook-up with Jordan's King Abdullah if the other parties agreed. He also declared that the future of Israeli settlements in the West Bank would be among the first issues to be negotiated if the Palestinians resumed direct peace talks. "One of the things we'll discuss right away is settlements, and that's what I propose doing," he said. Mr Netanyahu's coalition government leans heavily on hawks, bitterly opposed to any limits on settlement in the West Bank, on land which the Palestinians claim for a future state. The UN chief was not expected to be quite as warm as President Barack Obama. Mr Ban said before the meeting that while Israel's easing of its four-year blockade of the Gaza Strip was welcome, more needed to be done to ease Palestinian hardships. "Further steps must now follow to meet those needs and to allow the United Nations to accelerate and expand its efforts," his spokesman said. The secretary-general has demanded Israel lift its blockade of the impoverished Gaza Strip, imposed in the wake of the election victory by Hamas militants, who now control the Palestinian territory. Israel has so far given the go-ahead for the international community to import construction materials into Gaza. And Mr Netanyahu said yesterday further steps were under consideration. "There are more things we are prepared to do . . . There are things like additional easing of movements, some questions of economic projects," he told ABC. The change in policy was triggered by the international condemnation of an Israeli commando raid on an aid flotilla trying to break the blockade that led to the deaths of nine Turkish activists on May 31. Israel has set up a commission of inquiry into the events with the participation of British and Canadian observers, but some nations are calling on the UN for a fuller international probe. After the White House meeting on Tuesday, local time, Mr Obama said he hoped for direct peace talks to start before the end of September, when an Israeli freeze on settlement building is due to expire. "I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu wants peace. I think he's willing to take risks for peace," Mr Obama told reporters. The call was even echoed by the very hawkish Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman. "My feeling is that we can move very fast with direct talks, about September this year, we can move from proximity talks to the direct talks," Mr Lieberman told reporters in Vilnius, Lithuania. Mr Abbas responded coolly to the Washington summit, saying he would like more progress on issues including borders and security before any direct negotiations. Before leaving Washington, Mr Netanyahu met Defence Secretary Robert Gates. Officials said Mr Netanyahu told Mr Gates that in direct peace talks with the Palestinians, Israel would want assurances a Palestinian state would not be able to smuggle in heavy weaponry such as rockets. He also expressed the fear that once US troops left Iraq, Israel could again face threats from the east for the first time in a decade. Saddam Hussein fired several Scud missiles into Israel during the first Gulf war, but the comment was also seen as a reference to Israel's wish to remain in the Jordan Valley as part of a final peace deal, with the Israeli military acting as a buffer between the eastern flan more

Resolved Question: Obama has done (and still is doing) social security fraud!?

This is "What Obama doesn't want you to see" it's pretty long, running 9:50, yet very informing - i you get tired of watching it, fast forward to the end - it mentions Obama doing social security fraud. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHxb_vZe7Ao Here's an important one about Robert Gibbs, who is the White House Press Secretary. He's the person who supposedly posted Barack Obama's illegitimate birth certificate online. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NZslpp68Qk&feature=PlayList&p=11335E176B3530F0&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=1 Investigators: Obama using Connecticut Soc. Sec. Number Two private investigators working independently are asking why President Obama is using a Social Security number set aside for applicants in Connecticut while there is no record he ever had a mailing address in the state. Watch Robert Gibbs...he get's nervous, he snickers, and he walks out quick. He was put on the spot - this just proves that he's a deceiving man. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8Aahw3NT6 Here's other links: http://www.thefoxnation.com/barack-obama/2010/05/13/investigators-obama-uses-ct-social-security-number http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRt64dO0opE Some websites ssay this is all bogus, but from my research I doubt any of this is bogus. Although I am surprised that the news hasn't spoken about this issue. But it's for you people to decide whether you believe this or not. But to add in - As all of you may have heard, President Obama and the Federal Government has filed a lawsuit on Arizona claiming that SB 1070 is "racial profiling" when really Arizona is just protecting their people and their state. All law has been made that if a police officer racial profiles, the victim is able to sue that officer. But it is us American's money that is paying for that lawsuit, which really upsets me. And I'm sorry to all the people who have a degree in medical office assistance and doctors who have either lost your jobs or who's work right now is at risk of being taken away from you - because of the Obamacare. He's taking away our freedom, he has broken his promise: he has sent more of our soldiers to Iraq and has taken away a lot of our jobs. He wants to give illegals amnesty, not because he wants them here, but so he can gain more votes. If you haven't watched at least one of these videos, please don't comment. If you have and you still disagree then tell me why you are going to vote for Obama for next election. Please, no ignorant answers. Thank you! more

http://news.yahoo.com/s/mcclatchy/3558838 Suit: Arizona immigration law crosses 'constitutional line' " " Arizona's immigration policy . . . exceeds a state's role with respect to aliens, interferes with the federal government's balanced administration of the immigration laws, and critically undermines U.S. foreign policy objectives," the [Justice Department] said. "The department asked for a preliminary injunction against the policy to prevent "irreparable harm" to the U.S. "Last week, in his first major speech on the issue, President Barack Obama urged Congress to make a comprehensive immigration overhaul a priority, citing Arizona's law. " Who said "Never let a crisis go to waste?" Is the Obama admin creating a crisis by attacking the AZ law?

Resolved Question: Is it really the new goal of NASA to make muslims feel better about their contributions to the world?

And why particularly Muslim nations? If they are turning NASA into another diplomatic feel-good organization, why target ONLY muslim nations? I don't remember Obama saying anything about "fundamentally transforming" NASA, do you? I know he said he'd do it to America, but people voted for him anyway, can anyone explain why people STILL support this guy? excerpt... "One, he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math; he wanted me to expand our international relationships; and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering." He added: "It is a matter of trying to reach out and get the best of all worlds, if you will, and there is much to be gained by drawing in the contributions that are possible from the Muslim [nations]." Byron York, a conservative columnist for the Washington Examiner, characterised Mr Obama's space policy shift as moving "from moon landings to promoting self-esteem" Earlier this year, Mr Obama announced the scrapping of the moon programme in favour of an aspiration to visit Mars, cancelling the Constellation programme for manned space flight, the successor to the Space Shuttle. It means Nasa would not be able to travel beyond the Earth's lower orbit without international assistance and need the help of allies to make it to Mars. The proposal angered Neil Armstrong and Eugene Cernan, the first and last men to walk on the moon. Along with Jim Lovell, the Apollo 13 commander, they issued a statement denouncing the decision "devastating" and a plan that "destines our nation to become one of second- or even third-rate stature." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/space/7875584/Barack-Obama-Nasa-must-try-to-make-Muslims-feel-good.html more
