America to Congress: You’re Acting Hysterical. Take a Deep Breath. Calm Down.
Here's a proposed open letter to Congress:
Dear Congress,
Take a deep breath. Calm down.
You passed the $787-billion stimulus bill without even reading it in the hopes that it would fix the economy. We know, you were in a hurry to try to do something, but we can all see now that it didn't work. The banks still are afraid to make loans, the stock market is still in the tank, and unemployment hasn't dropped - but the risk of inflation is now dangerously high.
As you move with increasing speed, you are passing bills not only without reading them, but also without even thinking about the consequences. Because you are worried about the AIG bonuses, the House just passed a bill that would:
...impose a 90% levy on bonuses paid to workers whose household incomes top $250,000 by firms that received more than $5 billion under the government's financial rescue package. That would encompass much of Wall Street, including such marquee-name firms as JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
What you're not realizing is that this would be a massive attack on the entire U.S. financial industry - the very industry you are trying to protect.
...alarm spread across Wall Street that the government's sudden taxation fervor could ensnare thousands of workers and affect every major financial firm.
Although the fast-moving legislative campaign was born of frustration with the bonuses paid to workers at ailing American International Group Inc., employees at comparatively healthy investment banks fretted about the steep tax hikes they could face if the legislation became law.
It's clear …

President-elect has indicated he's open to talks with Raul CastroBBC 1/2009 -- Will Obama shift policy on Cuba?

Reuters 5/2009 --� US-Cuba thaw in full swing in arts world
This site recently had the chance to talk to an America man whose family fled Castro's political oppression to come here.�His thoughts include surprising observations regarding Cuba's history, and the state of Cuba today, as well as troubling parallels between Castro and Obama.
We'll call the interviewee, who does not want his name to appear, "Eduardo."
Take this as the verbal testimony of one man. I have obtained partial corroboration from one of Miami's top radio talk show hosts, Ninoska Pérez Castellón. Ninoska is quoted below, regarding some of his most surprising observations.
Per Eduardo's views Cuba is a place in which:
- Children are wards of the state - forcibly removed from their parents when they become teenagers.
- Some children are forced into state-sponsored prostitution.
- Free speech is punishable as a crime against the state.
In addition, Eduardo also sees striking parallels between Obama and Castro.
Let's get right into it.
Children in Cuba are Wards of the State; and,� the Child Prostitution Business

What’s *Really* Shocking About the White House Correspondent’s Dinner
Mike Lupien has an excellent article in today's Daily News talking about the tasteless jokes at the White House Correspondent's Dinner. But the tastelessness of the jokes isn't the real shocker about this.
In the past this dinner has always been a roast, i.e. an occasion where people make good-natured, self-deprecating jokes about the guest of honor (in this case Obama).
For example, from 2007:
Before Bush and Little spoke, CBS star David Letterman made a video appearance from his studio with a Top 10 list of taped vignettes showing some of the funniest Bush flubs of the last year.
From 2002:
President Bush gave reporters here a look Saturday at "what life is really like inside the Bush White House," showing off his collection of "actual, never-seen-before photos."
Bush and top members of his administration mingled with reporters and other Washington insiders at the annual White House Correspondents dinner.
The correspondents dinner, in its 88th year, has become an occasion for self-deprecating humor from presidents. Last year, Bush presented a slide show of his family accompanied by a joke-riddled speech about the 2000 presidential election recount.What's really shocking isn't just the tastelessness of the jokes - it's that Obama used these jokes and this platform to attack his� political opponents:
Obama Likes Wanda Sykes Joke About Rush Limbaugh — ‘I Hope His Kidneys Fail’
Wanda Sykes Makes Fun Of Absent Sarah Palin With Abstinence Joke
Obama Mocks GOP Chair Michael Steele’s Use Of ‘Street Slang’Far from being a uniter, the divisive Obama misuses the power of his office to bully all those who oppose him.

Obama Govt. Treachery… Step 1: “Take This Money, No Strings Attached”… Step 2: “Now We Own You”
American businesses who accepted bailout money didn't know they were potentially selling control of their businesses to the U.S. government. The rage this must be causing to executives all over this country - many of whom are likely to have been Democrats - will hopefully threaten tremendous damage to the Democratic party, so that the Dems will have to stop Obama's blatant attempt to turn our economy into a planned economy like the economies of the Soviet Union, China, Afghanistan, Cuba, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and North Korea.
If AP is correct, it appears that Democrats are feeling pressure to abort Obama's attempt to turn the economy of the U.S. into that of a third-world nation:
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama's Democratic allies in Congress are taking only baby steps with his budget, putting off crucial decisions on his ambitious plans to expand health care, curb global warming and raise taxes on the wealthy.
...Risk-averse Democrats, however, are merely kicking the can down the road rather than using the budget to give a real push to the president's agenda. On health care, global warming and even Obama's signature "Making Work Pay" tax cut, the pending House and Senate budget plans offer no clues as to how those big ideas might advance.
Hopefully Obama's treachery will ensure that no company that can avoid it will take bailout money in the future -- now that they know the strings that are attached.
