Now that is one amazing statistic that she can really be proud of. Wow. And they’re probably really good coaches at that!

I cannot pretend to know. However, I do know that none of them represent my interests. In very simplistic terms, we need to restore the integrity of a democracy. Our elected officials should answer to the people and be accountable to them. Even the President of the US is nobody without the People. In the chaos that I believe will ensue from the mess being made, I must keep my sight on the simple things: freedom, justice, fairness, equality.

PREZ ZINGS GOP FOE IN A $TIMULATING TALK

WASHINGTON — President Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill today that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration.

“You can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done,” he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package.
One White House official confirmed the comment but said he was simply trying to make a larger point about bipartisan efforts.

“There are big things that unify Republicans and Democrats,” the official said. “We shouldn’t let partisan politics derail what are very important things that need to get done.”

That wasn’t Obama’s only jab at Republicans today.

In an exchange with Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) about the proposal, the president shot back: “I won,” according to aides briefed on the meeting.

“I will trump you on that.”

Not that Obama was gloating. He was just explaining that he aims to get his way on stimulus package and all other legislation, sources said, noting his unrivaled one-party control of both congressional chambers.

“We are experiencing an unprecedented economic crisis that has to be dealt with and dealt with rapidly,” Obama said during the meeting.

Republicans say the $825 billion price tag is too big a burden for a nation crippled by debt and that it doesn’t do enough to stimulate the economy by cutting taxes.

“You know, I’m concerned about the size of the package. And I’m concerned about some of the spending that’s in there, [about] … how you can spend hundreds of millions
contraceptives,” House GOP Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) later said.
“How does that stimulate the economy?”

But White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs countered: “There was a lot of agreement in that room about the notion that we’re facing an economic crisis unlike we’ve seen in quite some time … that we must act quickly to stimulate the economy, create jobs, put money back in people’s pockets.”

Gibbs disagreed with those who called the meeting window dressing. “The president is certainly going to listen to any ideas,” he said.

“He will also go to Capitol Hill the beginning of next week to talk to Republican caucuses and solicit their input and their ideas.”

Matthews repeated his suggestion that Palin could not write the book later in the show. “The question is who actually will write the Palin book,” he said. “The only politician I know who can write is Barack Obama.”

I love it when Murphy talks about sports.

Thanks, Murphy, for featuring the amazing Kay Yow. Today’s a sad day in womens’ basketball because of the loss of such an amazing person. One of these days, you’ll have to feature a couple other “women who smoke”: Jody Conradt and Gail Goestenkors!

Took a break to reflect and listen to all my local Obots; give them a chance. However, I have had my fill. Today they resorted to accusing Roberts of “setting Obama up” when the oath of office was bumbled. Obams has given them so little to brag about, they have resorted to absurd Republican attacks. They must blame someone for voting for someone so weak.

Good to be back amongst people who see through all the bull.

Thank you kindly, Murphy!

And, by all means, I’d love to work on Primary Reform with you and yours! Just say when and where!

Happy Chinese New Year!

from Downstairs, re: Obama ditching Medal of Honor recipients at their ball:

hillstheone #56

It is so sad. I wonder if they all felt abandoned and left out, like O didn’t care enough or respect them enough to be there. He’s the Commander-in-chief now, his main role is to keep the nation safe and to…command our military. I don’t think he cares at all about the military, and I think he’s clueless about respecting the soldiers and also maintaining positive morale for them.

Oh and I saw your happy song you posted last night. It really is happy! I love you. I love you. I love you…. That’s a sweet song.

FECK obama

BO has been a bad boy and needs to be FECKed a whole lot more. The first revision to BO’s Post-General FEC report was filed 1/16/09. I got the letter but could not open the file. Now the file appears to be gone.

I am 83% through the Post-General analysis. This reporting is really awful. Not just all the errors and BS, but it is apparent that the $485 he released information on is from approximately 700,000 donors. Yet he brags about having 3.1 million. SHOW ME THE DATA!

The $255 million and 2.4 million donors are per BO’s say so.

We may have to accept that there’s an ooops here amd that even that news article I found is false information. I read further into the comments and many stated that is was false and he did attend. So I searched some more. And it does appear that this ball was attended by them, picutres included. There’s no point in spreading something that isn’t true.

Good to see you here! Good job on the Newsweek interview! I still need to make a comment there. Yes, I am interested in Primary Reform–many pumas are, and so, many of us will help in any way that we can. We can all work together.

Count me out, the memory of Will stating Hillary’s debt was just about paid off by Puma’s and JSND and then we find out it was barely even close to being paid off, is too fresh in my mind.

Whoa that’s amazing.

As a former lady vol shot put thrower and current grad student at the University of Tennessee, may I thank the PUMAS for honoring coach summit and I wish her and the lady vols the best in their upcoming game.

Yes, great courage to stand up to your friends. Even more to tell them good-bye.

Will Bower so glad to see you on this board. I totally believe that you were misled. I spent most of the campaign posting on the “out there” boards which were swamped by Obama supporters. With as many different boards as there are on IMDB, they managed to swamp them all. I also posted on the major networks, Salon, and a few others related to newspapers.

Trying to find the truth, much less links to the truth was nearly impossible since the articles, postings, information came and went like it washed in and out with the tide. I call Obama’s “well run” campaign a monumental creation of mis-information and disbursed information. Info changing from day to day, Obama telling people that he hadn’t said what he had, then suddenly his website would change, people came and went, threats were posted then disappeared to be replaced by accusations of racist motives…on and on it went.

Rules were ignored and the masses just gave in because no one could keep up with the constant changes on so many different fronts…everyone caved…including Hillary, and John McCain who gave up the fight by trying to be honorable against a man.

My next battle is the 2009 election for our NJ Governor. I have never disliked a politician as much as I dislike Gov Corzine. He pays people off, he was behind Hillary until Obama took over, then he threw Hillary in the trash along with the NJ voters who had voted for her in the Primary where she WON. At the DNC Corzine gave every NJ vote to Obama. I will be working to have the republican candidate replace Corzine. I’m hoping it will be the start of many things turning around not just for NJ but for the nation.

Corzine dated the head of my union and there is so much corruption under both of them that it has to be stopped if NJ ever wants to get out from under the corruption that makes us just like Chicago. Only a bit worse since it is evident that our officials were never clean. But then again, neither were Chicago’s.

Best wishes Will.

Great job Will but i left a comment and it hasn’t come up yet.I think someone at NewsWeek fell asleep.

Good evening,
I know I haven’t been around for quite awhile and now I am turning to Pumas when I have a problem. I get 5 to 15 email assuring me that I would like viagra. I believe I have the Canadian Pharmacy that I got my Fosamax from before Medicare Part D. I think that they probably sold my email address to these individuals.
I was in such haste to span one of these particularly annoying subjet lines that I accidentally spamed the whole page of inbox emails. I did try searching for the possibility of recovering the emails but didn’t find an answer that helped me. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know how I can recover these lost emails? I would be very grateful for any help.

I get Canadian meds all the time for half of the price as here. It is the same Rexal as here.Big difference and i save a lot of money.

Rocky Top You’ll always be home sweet home to meeeeeee, Good Ole Rocky Top, Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee!

Two ex-Guantanamo inmates appear in Al-Qaeda video…….

http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hZfIcWnHqBz4kQR90lC_pXaHeW4Q

WASHINGTON (AFP) — Two men released from the US “war on terror” prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba have appeared in a video posted on a jihadist website, the SITE monitoring service reported.

One of the two former inmates, a Saudi man identified as Abu Sufyan al-Azdi al-Shahri, or prisoner number 372, has been elevated to the senior ranks of Al-Qaeda in Yemen, a US counter-terrorism official told AFP.

Three other men appear in the video, including Abu al-Hareth Muhammad al-Oufi, identified as an Al-Qaeda field commander. SITE later said he was prisoner No. 333.

A Pentagon spokesman, Commander Jeffrey Gordon, on Saturday declined to confirm the SITE information.

“We remain concerned about ex-Guantanamo detainees who have re-affiliated with terrorist organizations after their departure,” said Gordon.

“We will continue to work with the international community to mitigate the threat they pose,” he said.

On the video, al-Shihri is seen sitting with three other men before a flag of the Islamic State of Iraq, the front for Al-Qaeda in Iraq.

“By Allah, imprisonment only increased our persistence in our principles for which we went out, did jihad for, and were imprisoned for,” al-Shihri was quoted as saying.

Al-Shiri was transferred from Guantanamo to Saudi Arabia in 2007, the US counter-terrorism official said.

The other men in the video are identified as Commander Abu Baseer al-Wahayshi and Abu Hureira Qasm al-Rimi (also known as Abu Hureira al-Sana’ani).

The Defense Department has said as many as 61 former Guantanamo detainees — about 11 percent of 520 detainees transferred from the detention center and released — are believed to have returned to the fight.

The latest case highlights the risk the new US administration faces as it moves to empty Guantanamo of its remaining 245 prisoners and close the controversial detention camp within a year.

Go to Alaska. I once moved my family to be closer to the grandparents etc. and they never cared to be involved. They all got sad that we were moving to NJ but no one has come to visit since the year we moved here 20 years ago. We are always the ones that are expected to go visit. We do when we are able to go.

If they cannot call you or visit you when you are nearby, then you have no reason to worry about what they want. If they are not supporting you in any way then just wave good bye. The people in my family who have usually done the best are those who have moved away. It really is up to you to make the choice and not let others make it for you.

Husker, are you by by chance a boomer? that generation has unusual distance between them and their parents that the boomer-genX combination doesn’t have. A lot of times they view it as a personal failure to get along, but the whole generation has it. There is still a desire to have a relationship, even if they don’t know how to do it. It also sound like you’re trying to take their lives away form them by forcing them to be dependent on you on their own land that they have worked so hard for. You need your own life separate from theirs. I have avoided jobs I might have applied for that would take me father away from my own family–sometimes the years are gone before you know it–but I am very conflicted about this. No matter what you do, you may always keep second-guessing yourself. There is an interesting book called “the three boxes of life and how to get out of them” by the guy that wrote the parachute book, that goes into it and also talks about life planning for couples a little bit. (the three boxes are work, education and retirement) You should be able to get it used online fairly easily.

Oh, wait I found it. Google books has it–you can read a good portion of it online:

Well storytellers,

Re: Hillary’s Independence Day fundraising. I remember frantically posting warnings about the two contribution links at Hillary Clinton.com. To pay down her debt you had to scroll down to the spotlight section, If you hit the large contribution link at the top the money went to the party. I’ve always wondered if that caused the discrepancy.

I agree storytellers. I think Uncle Teddy wanted it, but I think Caroline’s heart was not in it. She has been very private all these years and I expect it was a shock to hear and read about her life as it was being splashed and discussed all over the news.

This may sound harsh, but … parents/grandparents that actually care don’t pull guilt trips.

I agree that they may be pulling a guilt trip, but that doesn’t mean they don’t care.

Afc – You served our country (thank you), now do what you and your wife want to do without any guilt. Your parents will adjust. If not, too bad.

When and if your parents decide on selling/giving you the farm, then you can make a decision at that time about moving back there.

I believe Murphy had a vision on the ‘Broc Obama’ thread. Chia pet nows offers your own “Speical Edition” of Broc Obama. It looks just like it.

And at the time I was being so careful (probably because of your posts) and was reading the small print on the donation page. It may have been worse than you think because on the night of (I think it was night of July 3) the links changed completely and I, at least, could not find the correct page. Even the links in Hillary’s email messages to us directed me to a page that was not for “retire the debt”. Two days earlier they linked to the correct pages. Tried to contact Hillary’s people by phone and email but who knows if they were Hillary’s people at that point. At first I thought what an awful time for there to be a glitch but I cannot help but wonder if that was a deliberate redirection tot the party coffers. How could we possibly ever find the answer?
