A.O.(after Obama) and B.C.(before Clinton) a Political analysis.

As we reach the near halfway point to the end of President Obama's tenure as POTUS(President of the USA), it can be said that, as the history making 1st president of Color in the US, Pre sident Obama has been a true success! Despite dealing with all that was expected for the first president of color to deal with! Barrack Obama's presidency can stand as a monument and foundation for future presidencies of color to stand upon. But now we in America must begin to focus on America A.O.(After Obama)! Be cause that America stands upon a precipice. When President Obama was swept into office, it was a on a mandate and a hope for Change, and a desire for a end to the status quo of Washington DC! A status quo that quickly re-asserted itself in the aftermath of Obama's victory, and indeed stregthened itself throught the years of President Obama's 2 terms! And now as Obama prepares to leave office, we ,in America are faced with great questions civily,socially, and economically, and no prospect for real answers! The status quo has remained the status quo, and the great change that was promised never came. For the Obama presidency was too busy defending its very existance to pursue it! So what do we do in America with President Obama leaving office with a America virtually  unchanged from when he entered same? What do we do about A America that is more about corporate service than civil service? A America in which Racism and discrimination has resurged, a America where gun violence rages unchecked, and a America where poverty has become the Norm rather than the exception? Because this is the America that stands as B.C.(Before Clinton) And it is a Burden that is looking more and more as if it will be passed to another History making 1st president, the 1st woman president Hillary Clinton! And this burden that will be passed is a major one, because the political status quo is ready to send this nation back, and set this nation back decades in social and political policy!!! THIS is America as it stands , and as it will stand A.O.(after Obama) and how it will stand B.C.(Before Clinton)! A  America that should be of great concern to people of color, to women, to youth , to families and to children! Because if the last two terms of Obama have shown anything, it is that all those consituiencies that were named,women, families ,children, people of color, the poor, they are not of interest, or of concern to the political status quo!!! The precipice that I spoke of!President Obama has been somewhat of a Bulwark against those who would send us over the edge, but we have seen those forces emboldened by his stances to the point where they would shut down the Gov. itself to gain the power they seek and crave! But Now, as President Obama prepares to leave office, it must be insured that those who pursue and seek a return to and maintenance of the status quo pay the ultimate price, and that price is to see the change and the hope for same that brought President Obama to office, realized, and that can be done by insuring that the America that stands A.O. (after Obama) is B.C.(Becomes Clinton)!!!!!!! Because change deferred is not necessarily Change denied!!!!!!

The Path to Victory in 2014( political points)

If the Democrats are to maintain power(such that they have) on capitol hill, and not return us to a republican Nightmare( think Ted cruz as leader,or the RYAN budget being finally implemented) then all dems who are running need to FOCUS on the republicans and their record of inaction, not defending OBAMACARE!!!!! Example: What was candidate so and so record on education? Has none but he voted 40 something odd times to repeal obamacare! Or, what was so and so candidates record on unemployment? Has none but he voted to cut unemployment benefits!! The only thing Obama care should be in this election is fodder AGAINST the republicans! The path to power for the democrats is to FOCUS on the republican record of obstruction on issues like unemployment, immigration, education, gun control and so much else(not to mention the shutting down of the Gov.!!) Put the focus on the BIG picture, not a tunnel vision focus on Obamacare! And say it LOUD!!!!! The republicans want to focus on Obama care so you(youre talking to voters here) dont focus on their record of acheiving nothing!!! Thats the path to success, I hope you follow it dems!!!

Heard Hillary speaking the other day, and I hope she understands that COMPROMISE cannot be had with the republicans! Theyre not interested, They have to be dealt with from a position of strength !!!Dont waste your time seeking converts Hil, to win in 2016 you have to CONQUER them!!! A marginalized Republican party would be the best thing for America going forward, and that is what EVERY democrat should be pursuing, because have no doubt, that is EXACTLY what the republican party wants to do to the democrats!!!

Speaking of Hillary Clinton, does the republican party really think the American people cannot see their real agenda regarding Benghazi? Apparently, they do!!!!

The Boko Haram issue is, like most of the Islamic Terror that now plagues the world, a result of the mishandling of the aftermath of 9/11/01!!! If we had focused on Afghanistan and the destruction of Al queda and Bin laden, instead of wagging the dog in Iraq, Terrorism would not be as prevelant as it is now!!! And I will go on record here stating that, if a international force was created to go into Nigeria for the sole purpose of destroying Boko Haram and killing its leader, I wouldnt have a problem with that!

Monica Lewinsky, your claim to fame is you suck D-ck, Who do you think was going to hire you?  the United Way?

Thats all for now people!!!

POINT Blank!!!!!

Simply put, the lack of respect internationally that is being percieved by the republicans about the Obama administration can be traced to one thing and one thing only: the complete and utter lack of respect shown his presidency by the republican party. As is said ouite often on Capitol Hill, "the world is watching" and if like the, old Staples Singers song "Respect Yourself" says, "if you dont respect yourself, and nobody gonna give a hoot for you!!!" To get respect you have to give it, and the US congress hasnt given any to this president!!! So how can we expect any other world body to do the same?

Obama's legacy, his greatest legacy will be the Inspiration he provided to get thousands of Americans involved in public service!

To correct those who were debating the issue on the Lovely Melissa Harris Perry's show this morning, Minorities did a lot better under Bill Clinton than they ever had or will Under President Obama!!! you can be a white man from Arkansas and be touted as the First Black president For doing Nada!!! Love our president Obama, but damn sure did a lot better under President Clinton!!!
 
Here come the republicans putting on their sheeps clothing again, who do you think youre going to fool Republicans?

Has race been a factor regarding the Obama administration? Does Jen Selter have a Nice a--?

And lastly, funny how when Brother Sharpton was preparing to have a major leadership event in NYC, with the President Himself speakin, that all these "revelations" about rev Al started hitting the froNt  page of the NY newspapers!!!  Coincidence? Doubtful!!!!!

Spring Points!!!

Why do republicans like Paul Ryan keep rehashing the same failied policies over and over and over? Well at least his budget can serve one good purpose, CANNON FODDER for Democrats in 2014!!!

Simply put No troops on the ground in Ukraine!!! But it should be clear that Vladimir Putin is no friend of democracy and its high time that we in the USA begin to treat him in that vein!

I really, really, pity the fool who gets in the way of Hillarys second Presidential Bid, because WHEN she offically gets in, shes gonna be in it to win it!  It will take a Obama sized Miracle to Beat her again and we know THAT aint happening!!!

You mean to tell me that there are people who still refuse to see the forest for the racist trees when it is regards to the treatment(shall we say Abuse )of the Obama administration and the figures of color within  from calling the president himself a liar during the state of the union, to continually insutling the character of figures like Susan Rice and Atty General Holder, Race and racism has been indeed at the heart of it, and it is to our discredit that in America we still refuse to address it!!! What the Obama administration needs is a Dick Cheney F-You moment!! Maybe the president is saving it for his last days in office, would be great to see , and it would be good for America to finally put racism on the spot!!!

The only thing contemptous on capitol hill is the House of representitives continually playing politics as opposed to addressing the needs of the American people!! Millions of people homeles, long term unemployed, veterans, seniors and children in need, and all the republicans can see, all that is of priority is Benghazi, Lois Lerner, and cutting food stamps and unemployment?

and lastly, will John Boehner go down as THE worst speaker in American history, well find out in Nov.

The 2014 Democratic playbook(how to win the house and retain the Senate)

With the Loss of the Speical election in Fla. Republicans are (once again) crowing about how they are going to take the House and maybe the Senate, and ,as the pudits and such go about their usual over-analization of what went wrong, I think that its time to present to the Democrats THE substantive playbook on how to  DECISIVELY win the 2014 Mid term elections, and reclaim congress from the madness that is Republican Ultra conservatism! Simply put, the Republicans have but one goal, to avoid ,at all costs, talking about the issues and the Economy, because they have NO RECORD on them! ZERO, ZILCH, ZIP, NADA! Unemployment, immigration, women, you name it, the Republican record on it is embarassing, and they would rather not talk about it, and they dont!!! But what they do want to talk about is Obamacare, because it has proven to be, for Republicans, the diversion they need!! Think about it, where would the Republican party be RIGHT NOW, if the failed launch of OBAMACARE hadnt diverted all the attention away from the FACT that the Republicans shut down the Gov ,and put thousands of families in economic jepoardy!!!??? We wouldnt be talking aboout the republicans taking anything, we'd, RIGHT NOW, be talking about how the repubican party stays in existance after 2014! And that hasnt changed, that is still for republicans a REALITY! But as long as Democrats engage in back and forths over OBAMACARE, the republicans can avoid reality, and the political bullets it will bring them! SO ,simply put, heres the play for ALL democrats running for office in 2014! Point out to the public that, while the republicans were and are focused on OBAMACARE, thousands of people lost jobs and have been long termed unemployed! Point out that immigration reform still hasnt been pursued! Point out that the minimum wage still hasnt been raised! Point out the substantial Gun control in America hasnt been pursued, even in the aftermath of children being murdered!! Talk about the issues!!!! And talk about the fact that the republican party, ONE and ALL, have avoided them like the plague!!!! Because simply put, without Obamacare as the issue of focus and debate for the republicans, they, and their electorial hopes are toast!!! Obamacare is the LAW, that ship has sailed, so why would anyone continue to allow the republicans to focus on it?! Stop dancing to that tune Democrats, follow THIS playbook and in 2014 there will a a major Democratic victory GUARANTEED!!!

Hard Points!!!!

Simply put, its time to face the reality that what Putin has taken By force will not be regained by anything else but force!

The "referendum" in Crimea is nothing more than the final pulling of the puppet strings By President Putin.

It is way past time for the United States Congress to unite behind this president and stop playing petty Politics in this Putin Matter!

Rep Issa, this is America, not Ukraine, and you are not Vladimir Putin! You need to apologize for the Cutting off of Rep. Cummings Microphone!

Hillary Clinton compares one dictator to another and shes wrong? Politics in America!! Im  waiting for people to start blaming HER for Putins actions! And by the way , it didnt start in Benghazi as so many politically minded republicans are saying!!! It started way back when Putin first came to power, and when the question was raised about him, a republican president told us all  that"he looked in the eyes of President Putin and found a man we could trust!" THATS when it started!!!!

Was watching a little of the CPAC conferance and they were talking about how republican policies create jobs and higher wages. In what Bizarro dimension did this happen EVER? No republican from REAGAN on has EVER not had or created a budget defict and Lost jobs in America!!!!

And lastly I want to say bravo to Liz wahl and Abby Martin of RT for showing and reminding the world what true democracy is all about!!!!

Putin Points!!!

Now that Putin has OCCUPIED Crimea, the focus should be on making sure that's as far as he goes!


How can you expect Putin or any other world leader to respect President Obama republicans , when you have shown him so much disrespect? And how can you expect the world to unite behind the president, when you  cant yourselves?


The fact that President Obama supports and believes in DIPLOMACY first is a STRENGTH, not a weakness!!!!


If Putin wants to live outside of international law then he should suffer the consequences, Russia MUST, and should be kicked out of the G-8!


I hope that the EU is now learning from this debacle about putting all their eggs, in one energy Basket!


The only thing Russian Putin is protecting in this occupation is his own vision and interests!


The best thing Putin could do right now is pull out of Crimea!


Putin is a enemy of freedom everywhere, so freedom loving countries, leaders, and people EVERYWHERE need  to stand against him!


and lastly I hope that the Olympics were worth it people!!!!

Economic Points

Chris Christie made a statement the other day regarding income inequality and how the american people want "Income OPPORTUNITY" Well to that i say yes Gov you are correct, but it it is the policy of Income inequality , things like low wages, the offshoring of jobs, union busting, the loss of benefits, the outright cutting of jobs and other such tools that created this HUGe income inequality situation that is denying Americans the "Income Opportunity" that you speak of!!

Sarah Palin criticizing Chris Christie? If she had stayed Gov. she would be in the smae situation Gov. Christie is in right now!!!!

The showdown in 2014 isnt the Dems versus the republicans, but the republican establishment Led By Speaker Boehner and Mitch Mcconnell Versus the Tea party caucus Led By Ted Cruz! its Frankenstein Capitol hill style!

Political Points!!!

Did anyone actually READ the CBO report on OBAMACARE? As it read it says that people will STOP working! It says nothing about Obamacare creating job loss!!!! It is this continous playing fast and loose with the facts for political gain that is dividing and underming the country and the growth of same!!!

As to those people who are projected to stop working due to Obamacare, it is a testimony to why health care reform is needed in America! Because when people actually have to be part of a corporate plan in order to have affordable health care clearly there is a problem!!!!

A Janet Yellin Surprise tomorrow? Yep you heard it here first!!!

I still cannot believe that here in 2014 we are talking about the political muckraking of 1998!!! Some platform you have there Rand Paul!!!

Say what you will But Sen. Charles Schumer is allways there for the People!!!

And speaking of that, the next time they talk about smaller gov. you think about the food issues in China, and then thank your lucky stars that In America  we have Gov agencies who see to it that  we dont get poisoned by bad beef or pork or chicken!!!

Dont care what people say, the winter Olympics are BORING!!!!

And lastly Joe Biden was right regarding the state of our infrastructure IE: Laguardia Airport! whats it going to take? A tower to fall, or a sinkhole to open on the runway before we acknowledge REALITY?

Immigration points!

Heaven forbid that John Boehner would actually have to be a leader and work to get his party to at least address the immigration issue! Nothing gets to the floor for the simple fact that John Boehner doesnt want his inability to lead the house republicans on full and public display!!!!

Rand Paul, enough all ready with Lewinsky redux! A consenting sexual relationship between two adults pales in comparison to things like "legitimate rape" and forced ultrasounds! not to mention "uncontrollable libidos and of course "Uncle Sugar'!!!!

The Debt Ceiling. Tick- Tock republicans!

AS far as Obama's executive orders go, ACTIONS indeed speak louder than simply words or oratory!!!

Vice president Biden can run for President, but why he would throw himself out in front of a coming steamroller named Clinton I would never know!

The farm Bill is proof that the innmates have too long run the asylum on capitol hill!

and lastly with Gun violence trials dominating the media, we can only still wonder, wheres the congressional action or debate on the issue?

2014 Points!

Simply put The democrats need to stop playing to survive and stop allowing the media to create a narrative(once again) that they are simply playing to survive in 2014! The democrats, particulalry since ALL THE MARBLES are on ther table in 2014, need to play to WIN, not survive, and they need to make sure that the narrative is that they are playing to win!

Could Have sworn that we just went thru this same story in 2012, and the Democrats won then!!!! So why is it continually being perceived and played out in the media like the Democrats who control two thirds of the Gov. are in the Minority?

Is Obamacare a Job killer? Too soon to tell, but is the POLITICS that surround Obamacare a job killer? Most definately YES!

If there is to be a fight over the Debt ceiling, who do you think will win? Can you say Gov. Shutdown? I only can hope( as a DEMOCRAT) That the republicans do everything in their power to remind americans about it!!!

When can you say what you mean clearly, and not mean what you say? When youre a prospective Presidental candidate or president on Fox news!!!! Hashtag STIRRING  THE POT!!!!

Pity the poor rich! The one percent truly believe that they are being percecuted akin to the Jewish holocaust! Can you say, out of touch with REALITY!!!!?

And lastly Stand your ground clearly has no legal ground for existance except for in a fearful white mind!" if you beleive a person is armed"???? Seriously America?

Post State of the Union points!

The president had a good State of the Union speech, anda good follow up week after it, and he deserves kudos for ignorning the nonsense and baiting of those in congress who decided to invite the Duck Dynatsy Cast members to the State of the Union Speech! One word: Classless!

If Syria doesnt keep to their word, then Obama should keep to his! Nothing conveys seriousness to tyrants likeBashir Al Assad like a few missles on the doorstep!!

Edward Snowdon a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize, way to keep building creditabilty there Nobel Committee!!!( and yes Im being sarcastic)

Glad to see the issue of Joblessness becoming Finally of priority in America, and glad to hear the President talk about it like it is! DISCRIMINATION and the "screening out" of individuals has ,once again, contributed heavily to the high levels of unemployment, particularly among people of color, and that is something that the "job creators' need to be held to account for!!!

Simply put ,2014 is for the Democrats to lose! Its amazing to hear how they need to be on the defense! Havent you heard Dems, the best defense is a good offense!!! And with the republicans being the party of no on EVERYTHING over the past 5 years, to the level of shutting down the entire Government, how could you not take the fight to them?!!! If the Democrats fail to reclaim control of Capitol hill, it will because they simply didnt try hard enough!!!! because the door is wide open for them!!!

It is looking like Chris Christie may be Toast, and so are the republicans hopes for 2014!

And while the Republicans try, with smoke and mirrors to undermine the prospect of a Clinton bId in 2016, the sad fact is for them that the Former st lady, former Senator, and former Sec of State simply may have built too good of a record of SERVICE for them to stand against!!!

State of the Union Points!!!

AS president Obama prepares to give his 6th State of the Union address I for one am hopeing that the theme and premise of this years speech is "WE CAN DO MORE" bvecuase it is unconcionable in America that for the last 5 years while America has been in recession, and unemployment crisis the only focus on capitol hill has been on politics as usual!!!!!! President Obama came into office on a platform of change but sadly ,for Most americans, nothing has! They are still poor , still looking for work or underemployed, still relying on whatever assistance a increasingly unwilling Congress provides an of course all the while wall street , the banks and the one percent continue to thrive at unprecendented levels! Simply put, the state of the Union is one of Shame, because it is shameful that while wall street and corporate america are enjoying the most profittable of times, the rest of America, families with children, are homeless, and in the food stamp program! It's shameful that while nations like China and India are booming, Americans are long term unemployed!!!  The State of the Union is a opportunity for President Obama to make the statement that in America WE CAN DO MORE, because simply put we need to!!! And I hope that Next week the president , when he addresses the nation, states that very thing!!!

Christie's water wings!!!

With the thin ice that is "Bridgegate" beginning to crack under him, I hope that Gov Chris Christie has his "water wings" ready, because clearly "bridgegate" has evolved into a sink or swim issue for the Gov of NJ and his future political ambitions. The feeding frenzy has begun, and for Gov Christie, this issue will provide to the public whether he is a champion, or if he is simply political chum!!! But with blood clearly in the water, with the ice cracking, Gov Christie had better be ready, because he is about to hit the political drink when it comes to this "bridgegate" issue!!!!

Hillary and 2016.Destiny deferred?

Time ,in recognition of the Juggernaut like status of Hillary Clinton on the political landscape, has, with its latest cover story, posed what has been a continual question on the minds of political pundits, experts, and voters. Can Hillary be elected president in 2016? Well , looking at the FACTS, I can say that ,for Hillary Clinton, her ascendance to the the presidency has been merely deferred, but definately not denied! For she has , by her own personal aplomb   and status ,elevated herself to the level we now find her. She took the role of   First Lady and elevated it to levels unseen since Eleanor  Roosevelt, and she nearly ,single handedly, elevated the profile of women in elected service in America with her stellar representation of the State of NY as a Junior senator from same! And had it not been for Barrack Obama catching lightning in a bottle  with his own historic Presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton would have no doubt made history, and realized the destiny that continues to beckon her, the presidency of the United States! But anyone who thinks or believes that Hillary is fluttering in the winds of destiny like a candle or a reed, is sadly underestimating the woman!This is a woman who has stared destiny directly in the eye, and who has not flinched or blinked!  This is a woman, who from the day she arrived in washingston, has not been afraid to do more and be more! Hillary Clinton has proven in word, deed, and action that she can be president of the United States. Hillary Clinton has become a figure of destiny, a destiny that she is no doubt ready for, and a destiny that in 2016, will more than likely be realized! For Hillary, 2016 is merely the end to a destiny deferred, and to answer the question posed by Time Magazine, who can stand in the way of Destiny?

MLK Day, Buisness as usual??????

AS all honor and praise that is due is about to be given this monday to the Man who changed America, Dr Martin Luther King Jr. a man who fought and died to make America live up to the potential and ideals that it was formed, We all need to focus on and reflect upon how, for far too many in America, MLK day is simply another day to conduct Buisness as usual! Do you know how many Buisnesses remain open on MLK day? Hell, even the State of Arizona still refuses to accept or honor this federal holiday!!! For far too many, MLK day and what it truly represents, what it truly memorializes, the worst of American history and a man and his peoples struggle against same, has become not that serious, a simple footnote, something that is endured yearly, and worst of all, simply a day off!!! As we prepare to honor and memorialize Dr Martin Luther King Jr. and the struggle he lead in America against the evils of same,America ,all america needs to understand that this is not buisness as usual, and it should in no way be treated or regarded as buisness as usual or simply another day off! Because that diminishes all that DR King stood for, and all that he fought for, and most importantly, all that he died for!!!! When we take the time to honor and memorialize DR.Martin Luther King, it is to remind this nation of from whence we came, and that is to better insure that we get to where we need to go, that "promised land" that DR King spoke of so elequently. But when we reduce his day, in significance and in action, to simply Buisness as usual and another day off, we dishornor the man, and the cause, and the struggle! And we show those who have and still stand against all that Dr King stood for, that we have relaxed in our vigilance and resolve. DR MLK day, for me, will NEVER be Buisness as usual or just simply another day off, and it should never for be for you My fellow americans!!!!

Christies Whitewater moment!

It was a low point in American political history, when a political witch hunt and investigation was egged on by those with political interest(republicans) against the Clintons over their supposed inappropiate involvement with the "Whitewater" land deal!  It was a investigation that lasted for years and streched and morphed into all phases of the Clintons lives! To make a long story short, we how that turned out! Millions of dollars and a impeachment not over the original issue, but because there was a attempt to lkeep a illicit sexual tryst private!!! Now Gov Chris Christie is facing his own "Whitewater" moment! And as the media and political feeding frenzy mounts, and as the Gov finds himself in a unwanted spotlight at the most inopportune time, he can take heart, I would think ,from the lessons of the past and of Whitewater!  Because as the saying goes, those who do mot learn from the mistakes of the past!!!

Speaking of the Clintons As Hillary prepares , to the medias glee, to declare her political intentions, in 2016 , I can onyl wonder how long will the republicans continue to chew on the political cud that is Benghazi? There has been a congressional review and hearing over the issue, indeed Mrs Clinton herself came before Congress over the issue, so the only question that remains is when will the republicans let it go? How many years and counting?

And lastly, you have to marvel at the absolute hypocracy of the republican party as it pertains to this Christie matter, but their hypocracy aside, its even more amsuing to watch thm try to someohow link the issue to President Obama!!! Hilarious and sad at the same time!!!

Arrogant Points!!!

The faux outrage over the conduct by the understaff of  Gov Chris Christie being exhibited in the media in other places is why this problem continues to fester in America! The ABUSE of POWER and POSITION!!! And when it comes to that, sadly many people who should be in the loop are usually kept out of it!!! How many innocent men have died, or been incarcerated due to such conduct? Lost their jobs? Been discriminated against? The abuse of power and position is a cancer in this nation and when more individuals are summarily  FIRED for doing so, this culture will end! That said Its not what Christie didnt know, its what he did know and when it knew it! THAT is the question!!!!

People keep talking about the lukewarm job numbers and such, but the question remains when is Washington DC going to do something about it? Because while the 5 year and counting political war on all things Obama has been waged on Capitol Hill, NOTHING has been done or offered to stimulate Jobs and job growth in America!!!!

With all the focus on Universal pre K in NY gaining steam, you'd have to wonder why, with America lagging behind far too many nations when it comes to education, Washington Dc is talking up NATIONAL Pre K!!!???

As far as Iraq goes and other nations in the middle east, and their Issues, John Mccain and other Old school conservatives need to ask themselves a question: Are we the United States of America, or the United States of  THE WORLD?????!!!! is it in our national interest to be EVERYWHERE?????

And lastly as the republicans keep hoping that somehow Obamacare will bring them to the promised land of political majority Id like to present you with a few doses of Hard reality: President Cruz, President Rubio, President Paul, President Ryan, or President BUSH III
see the pickle you guys are in?

Unemployed Points!!!

The middle east is a quagmire and it is in the USA's best interest to STOP wading into it!!!!!

and Jay Carney is right, let John Mccain and the rest come to the American people, to all those who lost family, life and limb in Iraq and explain how its in their best interest to send their children back there! Stand down soldier, stand down!!

When will the House republicans stop playing politics with the fortunes of the american people? Lets take care of the present in America , before we start grandstanding about the future shall we! Pass the Unemployment Benefits extension. And to those Like Speaker Boehner who want to wrangle and bargin ON CAPITOL HILL about it, why dont you come before the people, in front of the millions of unemployed and underemployed and explain to them about the defict of the future and how that is more important than their(the current unemployed and underemployed) now!! Have one capitol hill hearing Speaker Boehner I double dog dare you!!!

When Dennis Rodman is even considered for, or worse, considers himself for  serious diplomatic efforts, then Houston ,we have a problem!!!

And lastly Rand Paul, its a new age, a age of technology and social media revolutions, your simple 1950 sensibilties dont apply!!!The genie was let out of the bottle by your fellow republicans after their failure to protect America from suffering 9/11/01, And not even your pathetic political ambitions can put it back now!!! Its a new world, LEARN TO LIVE IN IT!!!
 

Inequity points

With schools, employment,social services and the rest failing, and with Banks and Wall St. having unprescedented success, dont you think that there is a problem with the system?

With Unemployment continuing to hover around 7%, dont you think that we need to roll back the myriad of tax credits and tax breaks that were given the"Job Creators" Back during the Bush administration? Or does that not count as "Gov Waste"?

And Speaking of Unemployment, can anyone name a employment program created by this congress to address the near emergency situation that has remained in America regarding Unemployment under its( Congress) watch?

Also, rolling back those tax breaks and such from the failed Job creators can serve to Fund the Unemployment extenstion that congress is going to fight tooth and nail about next week!

 And lastly when you have CEO's and buisnessmen who are worth more than the GDP of small countries, or who are more solvent than states or cities ,then your system clearly has a problem!
