Nope, sorry Ms. Mag. THIS is what a feminist looks like:

in Action, Hillary Clinton, Join us!, PROWL, She smoked 'em!, Women Who Smoke

“Our foreign policy must reflect our deep commitment to help millions of oppressed people around the world, and of particular concern to me is the plight of women and girls who comprise the majority of the world’s unhealthy, unschooled, unfed, and unpaid.

If half the world’s population remains vulnerable to economic, political, legal and social marginalization–our hope of advancing democracy and prosperity is in serious jeopardy.

The United States must be an unequivocal and unwavering voice in support of women’s rights in every country, on every continent.”

Hillary Clinton
1/13/09 (thanks to kat in your hat)

And, “The Taliban sympathizers and members want to maintain an attitude that keeps women unhealthy, unfed, uneducated. This is not culture. This is not custom. This is CRIMINAL. We cannot have a free, prosperous, peaceful, progressive world if women are treated in this way.”

“The state department will have a very active womens office — a very active office on human trafficking, a modern form of slavery — which is primarily a slavery of women and girls.” HRC, in answer to questions from Senator Boxer at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, 1/13/09.

REMIND ME PLEASE; when has the Prez Select EVER made a statement that even approaches this in terms of commitment to women?

That’s right. Crickets.

NYT warns of one-term obama:
“If his stimulus plan “doesn’t work out, he may very well be a one-term president,” said Jeff Zeleny, who covered Obama’s campaign. “It’s hard to imagine that he could be reelected if the economy’s in the exact same position four years from now.”

Keep in mind that it’s thought that his biggest sponsors came from that region. Syrian born Rezko with dealings with Irak oil would have his “perspective” too…as would Rahm, Ayers and many others close to The Narcissistic One.

antifish 01.13.09 at 2:25 pm

It appears that Obama’s rather newfound support for Israel developed out of political (and monetary) necessity, another flip-flop if you will.

This is an excerpt from an article written by Electronic Intifada founder Ali Abunimah titled “How Barack Obama learned to love Israel”:

Over the years since I first saw Obama speak I met him about half a dozen times, often at Palestinian and Arab-American community events in Chicago including a May 1998 community fundraiser at which Edward Said was the keynote speaker. In 2000, when Obama unsuccessfully ran for Congress I heard him speak at a campaign fundraiser hosted by a University of Chicago professor. On that occasion and others Obama was forthright in his criticism of US policy and his call for an even-handed approach to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

The last time I spoke to Obama was in the winter of 2004 at a gathering in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood. He was in the midst of a primary campaign to secure the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate seat he now occupies. But at that time polls showed him trailing.

As he came in from the cold and took off his coat, I went up to greet him. He responded warmly, and volunteered, “Hey, I’m sorry I haven’t said more about Palestine right now, but we are in a tough primary race. I’m hoping when things calm down I can be more up front.” He referred to my activism, including columns I was contributing to the The Chicago Tribune critical of Israeli and US policy, “Keep up the good work!”

But Obama’s gradual shift into the AIPAC camp had begun as early as 2002 as he planned his move from small time Illinois politics to the national scene. In 2003, Forward reported on how he had “been courting the pro-Israel constituency.” He co-sponsored an amendment to the Illinois Pension Code allowing the state of Illinois to lend money to the Israeli government. Among his early backers was Penny Pritzker — now his national campaign finance chair — scion of the liberal but staunchly Zionist family that owns the Hyatt hotel chain. (The Hyatt Regency hotel on Mount Scopus was built on land forcibly expropriated from Palestinian owners after Israel occupied East Jerusalem in 1967). He has also appointed several prominent pro-Israel advisors.

Obama has also been close to some prominent Arab Americans, and has received their best advice. His decisive trajectory reinforces a lesson that politically weak constituencies have learned many times: access to people with power alone does not translate into influence over policy. Money and votes, but especially money, channelled through sophisticated and coordinated networks that can “bundle” small donations into million dollar chunks are what buy influence on policy. Currently, advocates of Palestinian rights are very far from having such networks at their disposal. Unless they go out and do the hard work to build them, or to support meaningful campaign finance reform, whispering in the ears of politicians will have little impact. (For what it’s worth, I did my part. I recently met with Obama’s legislative aide, and wrote to Obama urging a more balanced policy towards Palestine.)

If disappointing, given his historically close relations to Palestinian-Americans, Obama’s about-face is not surprising. He is merely doing what he thinks is necessary to get elected and he will continue doing it as long as it keeps him in power. Palestinian-Americans are in the same position as civil libertarians who watched with dismay as Obama voted to reauthorize the USA Patriot Act, or immigrant rights advocates who were horrified as he voted in favor of a Republican bill to authorize the construction of a 700-mile fence on the border with Mexico.

Obama inauguration to air in theaters

NEW YORK — President-elect Barack Obama is on his way to the big screen, thanks to a deal between MSNBC and Screenvision that will put the news channel’s inaugural coverage in 27 theaters around the country.

Free tickets are being handed out via MSNBC.com to see the inauguration and parade from 11 a.m.-3:30 p.m. ET at the 27 theaters run by 11 exhibitor partners in 21 markets. Midday Tuesday isn’t necessarily a big movie time, so it helps to fill the theater — and boost popcorn and soda sales — at a time when it’s not usually busy.

That means that Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews and other MSNBC and NBC personalities will play the big movie screen in addition to the usual MSNBC cable and satellite stream. MSNBC won’t be in high-definition until the second quarter, but both the channel and Screenvision say the quality will still be high.

“It’ll look great,” MSNBC president Phil Griffin said. “We’re thrilled about it.”

Screenvision was approached by MSNBC last year about carrying the coverage in some of the same theaters that take Screenvision’s preroll video, executive vp exhibitor relations Darryl Schaffer said. Since August 2007, Screenvision has had an alternative programming division that has exhibited New York Mets baseball games, operas and other events live via movie theaters. Schaffer said that Screenvision had the capability to do as many as 200 locations, though MSNBC was looking for a smaller event than that.

For MSNBC, it’s a chance to continue the momentum that vaulted it into the fastest-growing channel in all of cable in 2008. That’s the strategy, and Griffin said Monday afternoon to expect more in 2009 to build MSNBC’s brand.

“We want to reach people we’ve never reached before,” Griffin said. “We’re going to do numerous things like that to get our name out there. Ubiquity is the name of the game in 2009.”

D/S;
Michelina, #275;
since Hamas endorsed him and sent him $$$, you can bet your bippy he knows VERY well what Hamas is. His hesitancy was trying to spin his words so he didn’t appear to know too much, I’m sure.

He was challenged by McCain and Palin, but waved it off with “I can’t be responsible for whoever supports me”, IIRC. Heh. Or may be it was, “That’s not the Hamas I thought I knew…” :lol: :P :x

Have you heard of the new news analysis specialty? W.O.R.M.-speaker. “What Obama Really Meant”. :evil: :twisted: :lol:
____________
Nijma, for anyone to accuse others of intolerance against Islam but say nothing about the violent and virulent triumphalist chauvinism and contempt for others within Islam is transparently hypocritical. How can one be “divisive” towards a culture or religion which shows zero indication of willingness to co-exist and compromise?

Kosovo, whose citizens say, “We’re Muslim, but not really,” permit and welcome Catholic Churches (as long as they’re not Serbian Orthodox, which are rejected on ethnic grounds). That’s pretty much unique.

Elsewhere, you have to look hard for Christian churches permitted in Muslim space. In Kenya, which is majority Christian, Obama abetted his mad-dog Muslim cousin Odinga in intimidating the winning Christian party in the last election to give him the prime minister-ship, a powerful position which did not exist in law before that moment, by burning churches and murdering ONLY Christians across the country. His first priority now is to impose Sharia, outlaw Christianity, and purge it from the country.

Is that divisive, in your opinion? Or is it one more advance of divine unity under Allah? AKA Dar Islam.

puma.sf1: In my humble opinion it was over when Obama backed down on an Illinois bill that would have made it MANDATORY for nuclear power plants to report accidents. Obama met with Exelon execs repeatedly, watering down the bill each time. When negotiations were finally finished, the bill made reporting nuclear accidents VOLUNTARY. Exelon was Obama’s 4th largest funder.

Axelrod also has ties to Exelon. It was over the minute Obama declared he was running.

In all the cases mentioned here, the common denominator which determines which way Obama flips or flops is money. It is, and always has been, his sole motivator as the means to achieve his quest for power. For that reason, I cannot for one minute believe that he wasn’t involved in the Illinois pay for play schemes of Rezko and Blagojevitch.

Lugar is a RINO, who recommended Iraq be partitioned — I guess along the same lines as the 100-year-old “straight lines on a map” system that made such a glorious mess of the ME as colonialism wound down. He immediately made the Public Enemy Top 10 list in Iraq. (Think India/Pakistan, and how bloody that was and how dysfunctional the arrangement remains.)

I did the prowl and voted. I am dreading next week when his oneness descends on us. OB honoring MLK is a sad joke considering he didn’t have the time during the campaign to honor his memory when everyone else paid tribute to Dr. King. And using Lincoln’s bible at the Inauguration/Coronation is an insult to #16’s legacy. At least there is a little irony that they were both Republicans.
May our Hillary knock them out in D.C. with her obvious superior ability, out of the White House if wishes came true.

The record of State under Powell and Rice was to promote negotiations and sanctions and UN resolutions to the exclusion of all else, appease and shovel out the Danegeld. To date, no successes of that policy have been noted. If Hill continues in the tradition (which is pushed and enforced, with teeth, by Department insiders), her chances of achieving anything constructive are, not to put too fine a point on it, miasmal.

Senators Raise Questions About Geithner’s Nomination at Treasury
By JONATHAN WEISMAN
Sen. Charles E. Grassley, ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, is raising questions about a housekeeper who worked briefly for Treasury Secretary-nominee Timothy Geithner without proper immigration papers, and multiple years when Mr. Geithner didn’t pay Social Security and Medicare taxes for himself.

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D., Mont.) has summoned committee members to his office this afternoon to air the matter ahead of any public confirmation hearing.

According to people familiar with the matter, Mr. Geithner employed a housekeeper whose immigration papers expired during her tenure with Mr. Geithner, currently president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The woman went on to get a green card to work legally in the country and federal immigration authorities didn’t press charges against her, these people said.

The second issue involved taxes due while Mr. Geithner worked for the International Monetary Fund between 2001 and 2004. As an employee, Mr. Geithner was technically considered self-employed and was required to pay Social Security and Medicare taxes for himself as both an employer and an employee.

Hey I just noticed that everytime I want to comment I AM FORCED TO “SUBMIT”!!

Is this some kind of s&m site??

Hi ladyhawkke! Good to see you!

#196 prplvette I don’t think the foundation should be discussed on national television either. I didn’t think Bill Clinton’s impeachment should be on national t.v. for all the world to see us air our dirty laundry. Especially when the Rupugs were guilty of doing the same thing, i.e., Henry Hyde, Newt Gingrich.

It is there underhanded peon pecker-packing pretty puny petty priggish pissy pissant pathetic pukeface prickly peristantly patriarchal PINK pastey pigish way of trying to undermind

So Geithner has his illegal housekeeper and BO has his illegal aunt – what’s good for the goose…

238

HP Boston 01.13.09 at 4:34 pm

Well,well,well I am sure Mr. G will get a pass…he can not count.

Is that picture of Hillary, what she wore today? A brown jacket over ORANGE?

248

bqueen 01.13.09 at 4:51 pm

No headclunker: she was brown in brown today

249

Headclunker 01.13.09 at 4:53 pm

Well, I guess Orange is a statement you can only make once and get away with it.

250

BillieJo 01.13.09 at 4:56 pm

Brown is just orange in hiding. :roll:

Ex-DemInVA 01.13.09 at 4:59 pm

PROWL done.

The two pictures of Hillary brings back memories – the good ole days when I had hope for this country. Bambi is going to take us down a scary path. I will not feel safe with him as President. Hillary would have been a great President. I guess I have to settle for her as Secretary of State.

252

Ex-DemInVA 01.13.09 at 5:01 pm

It sounds like Bambi plans on spending the bailout $$$ by repaying organizations and businesses, etc. that got him elected. He has NO concern for the economic crisis this country is in. He is treating it as if there is an overabundance of $$$ to spend on what he wants.

253

bqueen 01.13.09 at 5:02 pm

BillieJo: brown is orange mixed with a bit of black, purple, green…

Senator Clinton has a big, big job. We will be more secure with her at the heart beat of the country.
Barry will be on vacation most of the time, he is so bushlike.

Would love to wind the clock back to have Hill again or wind it forward to where she will be! I think she’s talking to US.

Nimja, that Bishop is just another “spokesperson” who denies he was added to the “festivities” for political reasons. Did ye say he was *for* prop 8?

off topic but GIRLS WIN
Little League Canada lost a sex discrimination law suit from a girls team. Seems they paid travel arrangements for boys to travel to a tournament but refused the girls. The Human Rights Tribunal ruled against them because of discrimination based on sex.

Holy smokes. I can’t believe how depressed I feel right now. It’s like coming down from an emotional high… maybe I’m just crashing from this morning’s brilliant, inspiring high that is Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, to the bummer that is the oInarticulateHypocritalDimOne.

Hillary rocked today. Even our SCFP never could question her smartness and competence. I even caught a small portion of Mathews gushing over her in my office TV. The whole country will one day accept this. Please let’s channel these objective strongly but positively to help this cause.
