Proof

Obama was overruled in his decision, but there is a lot more than that. It is being called a coup within the WH by Leon Panetta and Hillary:

Patraeus was there too. Obama and Jarrett didn’t want to go for the kill and kept stalling.

Now obama is travelling around the country taking credit. He’ll even be here in NY tomorrow.

Grrrrrr!

DWP, thanks for the clarification. In the situation room picture I saw, it appeared that Obie was sitting on his hands, but now it’s apparent that he was in control.

Classic!

Good morning (((Puma’s)))
I do know the first thing I did notice in the picture when it was first realeased is Hillary, with computer open, pictures & papers on the keyboard, two books in her lap, and her had on her face with a look of real concern.
Obie on the other hand looked bored as hell wishing they would just call him when all is over and it is time for him to practice with the telepromper..

NO Barack You Can Not Blow Up Fox News Headquarters..Concentrate On Osama.

Now that’s funny. They probably told him it was the new xbox!

I guess they didn’t want him to sit at the adult table. Looks like he’s playing God of War on an old PS2.

Obama, meanwhile, planned a visit Thursday to New York’s ground zero where the twin towers of the World Trade Center once stood. The towers fell in September 11, 2001, when al Qaeda hijackers flew commercial planes into them.

Obama will take part in a wreath-laying ceremony and will meet with families of victims and first responders, but will not make remarks, White House spokesman Carney said. He characterized the event as “bittersweet.”
——-
Obama “will not make remarks”, hmmm… either he took a clue from his rebuffed invitations to join him at ground zero, or, he wants to get away from the place as soon as possible in order to get in another nine holes of golf before nightfall.

I’m just glad the Navy fed him to the fishies quickly. If they had given the Boob in Chief time to think about it, Bin Laden would probably be lying in state at the US Capitol and buried in Arlington Cemetary.

Another change in the story. CIA admits that there was no live footage during the raid:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/al-qaeda/8493391/Osama-bin-Laden-dead-Blackout-during-raid-on-bin-Laden-compound.html?sms_ss=email&at_xt=4dc1ce3920772825%2C0

So, what the hell were they all looking at? A blank screen?

Headclunker, there is mail.

Another version of the story. UBL was unarmed. There was no 40 minute shoot out. They were killed in cold blood.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/05/05/us-binladen-pakistan-raid-idUSTRE7442NW20110505?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews

I don’t know what’s true and what’s not, but this version is not going to go over very well with the muslims.

It’s quite apparent that everyone sees what they want ti see.
“Obamma looks bored.” Perhaps my glasses need changing.

I have the “last photo” of a young NYC fireman riding on the back of his ladder truck, to see the photo it could have been any day on the way to any call but it was Sept 11, 2011 moments later the building they were there to rescue people from fell down on top of them killing them all.
But hey I am lucky some families get to have “last photos” of their loved one in free fall…Does anyone give a crap that Osama was unarmed? That he was shot in “cold blood” ? That some photos show his aides with blood coming out of their ears and mouth and NO weapons around?
DID anyone on 911 have a chance to defend themselves?
Airplanes of people flying into buildings, just sitting there, people watching airplanes flying into their offices..Defenseless.
People upset Osama maybe was shot in front of his daughter. No child should witness that but the reality is thousands of children watched their parents die on 911 and the man responsible was Osama the mass murderer…why all the concern for him?
Don’t want to upset evil lunatics with photos of a dead evil lunatic mass murderer…were any of them concerned that good decent people would have last photos of the good decent victims of this evil lunatic?

Jesus! I just learned that Nostradamus’s first name was “Michael”!
You might as well have told me Plato’s first name was Eddie!

Q/A with “Insider”.

“i was correct in stating there had been a push to invade the compound for several weeks if not months, primarily led by Leon Panetta, Hillary Clinton, Robert Gates, David Petraeus, and Jim Clapper. The primary opposition to this plan originated from Valerie Jarrett, and it was her opposition that was enough to create uncertainty within President Obama. Obama would meet with various components of the pro-invasion faction, almost always with Jarrett present, and then often fail to indicate his position. This situation continued for some time, though the division between Jarrett/Obama and the rest intensified more recently, most notably from Hillary Clinton. She was livid over the president’s failure to act, and her office began a campaign of anonymous leaks to the media indicating such.”

Here’s the link:
socyberty.com/issues/white-house-insider-obama-hesitated-panetta-issued-order-to-kill-osama-bin-laden/

“White House Insider: Obama Hesitated – Panetta Issued Order to Kill Osama Bin Laden”

“What Valerie Jarrett, and the president, did not know is that Leon Panetta had already initiated a program that reported to him –and only him, involving a covert on the ground attack against the compound.”
&&&&&&&

Q: You stated that President Obama was “overruled” by military/intelligence officials regarding the decision to send in military specialists into the Osama Bin Laden compound. Was that accurate?

A: I was told – in these exact terms, “we overruled him.” (Obama) I have since followed up and received further details on exactly what that meant, as well as the specifics of how Leon Panetta worked around the president’s “persistent hesitation to act.” There appears NOT to have been an outright overruling of any specific position by President Obama, simply because there was no specific position from the president to do so. President Obama was, in this case, as in all others, working as an absentee president.

was correct in stating there had been a push to invade the compound for several weeks if not months, primarily led by Leon Panetta, Hillary Clinton, Robert Gates, David Petraeus, and Jim Clapper. The primary opposition to this plan originated from Valerie Jarrett, and it was her opposition that was enough to create uncertainty within President Obama. Obama would meet with various components of the pro-invasion faction, almost always with Jarrett present, and then often fail to indicate his position. This situation continued for some time, though the division between Jarrett/Obama and the rest intensified more recently, most notably from Hillary Clinton. She was livid over the president’s failure to act, and her office began a campaign of anonymous leaks to the media indicating such. As for Jarrett, her concern rested on two primary fronts. One, that the military action could fail and harm the president’s already weakened standing with both the American public and the world. Second, that the attack would be viewed as an act of aggression against Muslims, and further destabilize conditions in the Middle East.

Q: What changed the president’s position and enabled the attack against Osama Bin Laden to proceed?

A: Nothing changed with the president’s opinion – he continued to avoid having one. Every time military and intelligence officials appeared to make progress in forming a position, Jarrett would intervene and the stalling would begin again. Hillary started the ball really rolling as far as pressuring Obama began, but it was Panetta and Petraeus who ultimately pushed Obama to finally act – sort of. Panetta was receiving significant reports from both his direct CIA sources, as well as Petraeus-originating Intel. Petraeus was threatening to act on his own via a bombing attack. Panetta reported back to the president that a bombing of the compound would result in successful killing of Osama Bin Laden, and little risk to American lives. Initially, as he had done before, the president indicated a willingness to act. But once again, Jarrett intervened, convincing the president that innocent Pakistani lives could be lost in such a bombing attack, and Obama would be left attempting to explain Panetta’s failed policy. Again Obama hesitated – this time openly delaying further meetings to discuss the issue with Panetta. A brief meeting was held at this time with other officials, including Secretary Gates and members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but Gates, like Panetta, was unable to push the president to act. It was at this time that Gates indicated to certain Pentagon officials that he may resign earlier than originally indicated – he was that frustrated. Both Panetta and Clinton convinced him to stay on and see the operation through.

What happened from there is what was described by me as a “masterful manipulation” by Leon Panetta. Panetta indicated to Obama that leaks regarding knowledge of Osama Bin Laden’s location were certain to get out sooner rather than later, and action must be taken by the administration or the public backlash to the president’s inaction would be “…significant to the point of political debilitation.” It was at that time that Obama stated an on-ground campaign would be far more acceptable to him than a bombing raid. This was intended as a stalling tactic, and it had originated from Jarrett. Such a campaign would take both time, and present a far greater risk of failure. The president had been instructed by Jarrett to inform Mr., Panetta that he would have sole discretion to act against the Osama Bin Laden compound. Jarrett believed this would further delay Panetta from acting, as the responsibility for failure would then fall almost entirely on him. What Valerie Jarrett, and the president, did not know is that Leon Panetta had already initiated a program that reported to him –and only him, involving a covert on the ground attack against the compound. Basically, the whole damn operation was already ready to go – including the specific team support Intel necessary to engage the enemy within hours of being given notice. Panetta then made plans to proceed with an on-ground assault. This information reached either Hillary Clinton or Robert Gates first (likely via military contacts directly associated with the impending mission) who then informed the other. Those two then met with Panetta, who informed each of them he had been given the authority by the president to proceed with a mission if the opportunity presented itself. Both Gates and Clinton warned Panetta of the implications of that authority – namely he was possibly being made into a scapegoat. Panetta admitted that possibility, but felt the opportunity to get Bin Laden outweighed that risk. During that meeting, Hillary Clinton was first to pledge her full support for Panetta, indicating she would defend him if necessary. Similar support was then followed by Gates. The following day, and with Panetta’s permission, Clinton met in private with Bill Daley and urged him to get the president’s full and open approval of the Panetta plan. Daley agreed such approval would be of great benefit to the action, and instructed Clinton to delay proceeding until he had secured that approval. Daley contacted Clinton within hours of their meeting indicating Jarrett refused to allow the president to give that approval. Daley then informed Clinton that he too would fully support Panetta in his actions, even if it meant disclosing the president’s indecision to the American public should that action fail to produce a successful conclusion. Clinton took that message back to Panetta and the CIA director initiated the 48 hour engagement order. At this point, the President of the United States was not informed of the engagement order – it did not originate from him, and for several hours after the order had been given and the special ops forces were preparing for action into Pakistan from their position in Afghanistan, Daley successfully kept Obama and Jarrett insulated from that order.

This insulation ended at some point with an abort order that I believe originated from Valerie Jarrett’s office, and was then followed up by President Obama. This abort order was later explained as a delay due to weather conditions, but the actual conditions at that time would have been acceptable for the mission. A storm system had been in the area earlier, but was no longer an issue. Check the data yourself to confirm. Jarrett, having been caught off guard, was now scrambling to determine who had initiated the plan. She was furious, repeating the acronym “CoC” and saying it was not being followed. This is where Bill Daley intervened directly. The particulars of that intervention are not clear to me beyond knowing he did meet with Jarrett in his office and following that meeting, Valerie Jarrett was not seen in the West Wing for some time, and apparently no longer offered up any resistance to the Osama Bin Laden mission. What did follow from there was one or more brief meetings between Bill Daley, Hillary Clinton, a representative from Robert Gates’ office, a representative from Leon Panetta’s office, and a representative from Jim Clapper’s office. I have to assume that these meetings were in essence, detailing the move to proceed with the operation against the Osama Bin Laden compound. I have been told by more than one source that Leon Panetta was directing the operation with both his own CIA operatives, as well as direct contacts with military – both entities were reporting to Panetta only at this point, and not the President of the United States. There was not going to be another delay as had happened 24 hour earlier. The operation was at this time effectively unknown to President Barack Obama or Valerie Jarrett and it remained that way until AFTER it had already been initiated. President Obama was literally pulled from a golf outing and escorted back to the White House to be informed of the mission. Upon his arrival there was a briefing held which included Bill Daley, John Brennan, and a high ranking member of the military. When Obama emerged from the briefing, he was described as looking “very confused and uncertain.” The president was then placed in the situation room where several of the players in this event had already been watching the operation unfold. Another interesting tidbit regarding this is that the Vice President was already “up to speed” on the operation. A source indicated they believe Hillary Clinton had personally made certain the Vice President was made aware of that day’s events before the president was. The now famous photo released shows the particulars of that of that room and its occupants. What that photo does not communicate directly is that the military personnel present in that room during the operation unfolding, deferred to either Hillary Clinton or Robert Gates. The president’s role was minimal, including their acknowledging of his presence in the room.

At the conclusion of the mission, after it had been repeatedly confirmed a success, President Obama was once again briefed behind closed doors. The only ones who went in that room besides the president were Bill Daley. John Brennan, and a third individual whose identity remains unknown to me. When leaving this briefing, the president came out of it “…much more confident. Much more certain of himself.” He was also carrying papers in his hand that quite possibly was the address to the nation given later that evening on the Bin Laden mission. The president did not have those papers with him prior to that briefing. The president then returned to the war room, where by this time, Leon Panetta had personally arrived and was receiving congratulations from all who were present.

In my initial communication to you of these events I described what unfolded as a temporary Coup initiated by high ranking intelligence and military officials. I stand by that term. These figures worked around the uncertainty of President Obama and the repeated resistance of Valerie Jarrett. If they had not been willing to do so, I am certain Osama Bin Laden would still be alive today. There will be no punishment to those who acted outside the authority of the president’s office. The president cannot afford to admit such a fact. What will be most interesting from here is to now see what becomes of Valerie Jarrett. One source indicated she is threatening resignation. I find that unlikely given my strong belief she needs the protection afforded her by the Oval Office and its immense powers to delay and eventually terminate investigations back in Chicago, but we shall see.

Stay safe.”

I’m not worried about errors or inconsistencies in the details. Survivors, BL’s wife and daughter etc, were already giving their stories to international media. US had to get a US version out quick.

I am watching the Kentucky Derby later today. There is a female jockey named Rosie Napravnik riding a horse named Pants on Fire. No female jockey has ever won The Derby. I am wishing her success today. Rosie is 23 years old.

Vanity Fair has a long, must read profile on Hillary. As SOS and beyond.

“From micro-credit to food assistance to education, Hillary knows that women in underdeveloped villages usually spend aid money on their families, while men more often spend it on themselves, which is a polite way of saying on liquor and prostitutes.”

Kate Swift, Writer Who Rooted Out Sexism in Language, Dies at 87
By WILLIAM GRIMES
Kate Swift, a writer and editor who in two groundbreaking books — “Words and Women” and “The Handbook of Nonsexist Writing” — brought attention to the sexual discrimination embedded in ordinary English usage, died on Saturday in Middletown, Conn. She was 87.
::::: snip :::::
Ms. Swift turned her attention to the issue of sexist language when she and Casey Miller, her companion, formed a professional editing partnership in 1970 and were asked to copy-edit a sex education manual for junior high school students.

The stated goal of the manual was to encourage mutual respect and equality between boys and girls, but Ms. Swift and Ms. Miller, who died in 1997, concluded that the author’s intent was being undermined by the English language.

“We suddenly realized what was keeping his message — his good message — from getting across, and it hit us like a bombshell,” Ms. Swift said in a 1994 interview for the National Council of Teachers of English. “It was the pronouns! They were overwhelmingly masculine gendered.”

The partners turned in a manuscript with suggestions that sex-identifying singular pronouns be made plural, or that pronouns be avoided altogether, and that word order be changed so girls preceded boys as often as the reverse.

“The publisher accepted some suggestions and not others, as always happens,” Ms. Swift said. “But we had been revolutionized.”

Now, they wrote in the preface to their first book, “Words and Women,” “everything we read, heard on the radio and television, or worked on professionally confirmed our new awareness that the way English is used to make the simplest points can either acknowledge women’s full humanity or relegate the female half of the species to secondary status.”

Ms. Swift and Ms. Miller went on to write two attention-getting essays on the subject in 1972: “Desexing the English Language,” which appeared in the inaugural issue of Ms. magazine, and “One Small Step for Genkind,” which was published in The New York Times Magazine. “Words and Women: New Language in New Times” followed in 1976. An updated version was published in 1991.

The book illustrated the implicit biases in spoken and written English, highlighting the time-honored phrases “all men are created equal” and “land where our fathers died,” the persistent identification of women by Miss and Mrs., and the journalistic habit of describing women as divorcées or blondes, who might be pert, dimpled or cute.

Some of the authors’ proposals gained traction. Many newspapers, textbooks and public speakers avoid “fireman” and “stewardess” nowadays. Other ideas fell by the wayside, notably “genkind” as a replacement for “mankind,” or “tey,” “ter” and “tem” as sex-neutral substitutes for “he/she,” “his/her” and “him/her.”

Barbara Peabody Swift, known as Kate, was born on Dec. 9, 1923, in Yonkers, to a journalistic family. Her paternal grandfather, J. Otis Swift, wrote a daily nature column, “News Outside the Door,” for The New York World and its successor, The World-Telegram, for 40 years. Her father and mother were both newspaper and magazine journalists.

She grew up in Hastings-on-Hudson, N.Y., and attended Connecticut College before earning a journalism degree from the University of North Carolina in 1944. After working as a copy runner in the NBC newsroom, she enlisted in the Women’s Army Corps as a writer and editor for the Army’s information and education department.

She was a writer for the Port of New Orleans, an editorial assistant at Time and a news writer for the public relations department of the Girl Scouts of America before becoming a science writer on the public-affairs staff of the Museum of Natural History in Manhattan in 1954, serving as the press liaison for the Hayden Planetarium. In 1965 she became the director of the news bureau of the school of medicine at Yale.

She lived in East Haddam, Conn., and Georgetown, Me. Her marriage ended in divorce. She is survived by a brother, John, of Georgetown, Me., and a half-sister, Marguerite Swift of Flagstaff, Ariz., and Georgetown.

Although Ms. Swift and Ms. Miller followed up their first book with a style guide, “The Handbook of Nonsexist Writing,” in 1980, Ms. Swift insisted that she had no interest in policing the language.

“We just wanted to give people the background, to make them aware of what was happening right underneath their noses,” she said of the handbook. “We didn’t want to tell people, Do This or Don’t Do That!”

thanks for that…I remember some of those vocabulary attempts. The first novel I wrote was set in the future, so I used these imagined vocabulary changes: heman and sheman (for man and woman) and likewise boyman and girlman. Making “man” a unisex suffix. I also favor s/he, but it’s kind of hard to speak aloud.

Hundreds of herbal remedies now outlawed across Europe:

They have been trying to do this here for years. I remember signing petitions in my local health food store and calling Sen. Moynahan’s office. Moynahan was senator before Hillary, so I am going back to the 90s.

So far, the people have been successful. But with the obots taking over health care and this news coming from Europe, I am afraid it is only a matter of time before the FDA takes away our right to purchase herbs and vitamins.

So, stock up on them while you can. I guess I will store mine away with all of my extra light bulbs!

Texas House Bans Offensive Pat-Downs:

http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2011/05/13/texas-house-bans-offensive-security-pat-downs/

It would be a criminal offense for public servants to ‘touch my stuff’!

It’s about time somebody did something about this travesty!

Hi Freddiebrown #70

If I remember correctly, you travel for business. I travel for pleasure, so you obviously fly more than I do. My last trip was to Austria. That was last May before the instrusive pat downs began.

We had plans to travel to Texas 2 weeks ago, to visit my husband’s sister and her family. At the last minute we cancelled. I was going to try to handle it as best I could, but my husband was getting more aggitated as we got closer to the flight date. When he told me that if any government worker put his hands down his (Hubby’s) pants, we would all be reading about it the next day in the newspapers – I believed him. Knowing Hubby, he wouldn’t stand for anything like that without making quite a fuss. So we cancelled and I’m not really sure when we will travel by plane again.

Besides being treated like one of the sheep, the problem as I see it is that they have no authority to do these pat downs. In any other situation, a warrant would be required before a government agent could search your home or your person. That warrant would have to be issued by a judge only when reasonable suspecion of a crime had been found. What did the passengers do to cause suspicion? They merely want to board a plane.

That being said, I really have no solution to this problem. I suppose many people feel more secure and therefore don’t mind giving up their rights. I’m not sure if I am one of them.

To close – when the pat downs first began, I read a comment on another blog. I think it was FreeMeNow where someone wrote that after seeing the lines of passengers awaiting their pat downs, she no longer had to wonder how the Jews marched so calmly to their deaths. That thought really got to me. After all, once we start to submit, when will it end?

Etta James Hospitalized
(CNN) — Legendary singer Etta James has been hospitalized with a blood infection, her son told CNN Friday.

Sametto James said his 73-year-old mother was admitted to a hospital in Southern California on Monday due to a urinary tract infection that led to sepsis. She remained in the hospital Friday, he said.

“She’s doing a little bit better, but she’s not out of the woods quite yet,” Sametto James said.

Etta James, best known for her 1961 hit “At Last,” was hospitalized in 2010 due to a dangerous staph infection. She was diagnosed in 2009 with Alzheimer’s disease.

Trump says will not run for president in 2012

BOSTON (Reuters) – Billionaire real estate magnate Donald Trump said on Monday that he will not run for the White House in 2012.

The host of NBC-TV’s “Celebrity Apprentice” said the decision came after “considerable deliberation and reflection” after weeks of an unofficial campaign.

“I maintain the strong conviction that if I were to run, I would be able to win the primary and ultimately, the general election,” Trump said in a statement.

I won’t be voting for any more boiz in this lifetime, but I was looking forward to a Trump campaign. Obama needed / needs someone to hand him his ass and Trump was just the one to do it.

Hi everyone,

Trump said that he would continue to skewer “O” during the election. That part I will enjoy greatly!

Hey freddie,

#90 – It’s going well. I’m working thru a staffing agency right now. I do new home sales and builders are not hiring, or they want to see your talents first by having you work for them from a staffing co, then they hire.

I’m taking every day that the agency can give me but it is still not a lot of money. Keep your fingers crossed that I get picked up by a builder soon.

The agency that I am working with is the highest ranked for new home sales agents, very rigorous testing, etc. That goes a long way with the builders. That why I was so happy to have them pick me up. It’s a start and right now I’m happy to be making any money.

(((goofsmom)))) So happy you are working again.
My daughter has been out of work for over a year now, will soon have to move in with me, the “government” has ruined our economy. They can not “fix” it, they are the problem!

HPBoston,

I can’t help but smile, I’m happy to have a job! I’d rather be underpaid than not paid at all! I’m wishing your daughter lots of good luck.

Freddie,

You are a very good person. I know the type you are talking about and yes, I too have felt the urge to ask them why they value themselves so little. I blame society as a whole because of all the superficial, stereotypical horsesh*t that it tells, shows, and admonishes girls to be and act like. You are being the matriarch she should have had as a child.
Great job!

HP Boston… thanks – I know what you mean about counselling on suicide. I am not qualified but after hours of talking to her, I know she is just using it as a means to frighten the guy. She admits she wasn’t going to do it. Just want to make him love her. She is a tall, nice looking white girl but that’s not the point, really. She has very little self worth with this guy which is her first boyfriend since 16 . She choose to use all sorts of ways to cover up her lack of means and self worth eg. declares only uses Coach handbags – like I am impressed when they are renting a room somewhere ? Well, I had to point out the ridiculousness in her ways – Which she says no one has ever called her on all these stupid ideas – of which she has plenty.
She has since in a few days, been motivated to learn how to make jewelry from her friend and I am giving her some projects.

HI PUMAS
Some news from No Limits…seems Hillary is talking about some real issues…compared to IMEMYSELFMINE.

THE UGANDA ANTI-GAY BILL – OFF THE TABLE FOR NOW? The Anti-Homosexuality Bill proposed in Uganda seems to be off the table – at least for now. The bill was proposed in October 2009, and was set for debate by the full parliament on last Wednesday, until it was dropped from the schedule on the last day of parliament. Under the proposed law, homosexuals would receive life imprisonment, “aggravated” homosexuality or those who were gay and HIV positive could be sentenced to death by hanging, and if a citizen knew of a homosexual person, and did not turn them in to authorities, he or she could be sentenced to seven years in jail.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has spoken out against this so called “Kill the Gays Bill”. According to human rights activists in and outside of Uganda, harassment of gays has greatly intensified since the introduction of the bill. Governments, human rights organizations and people all over the world have condemned the bill. The future of this egregious bill is still unknown, but it is tabled until the parliament meets again.

“if a citizen knew of a homosexual person, and did not turn them in to authorities, he or she could be sentenced to seven years in jail”.
Just adding Uganda to the list of places where I would end up in jail.
Top of my list is Saudi Arabia…because for sure I would be driving a car which is illegal for a woman and since I would be unable to see from behind my damn Burqua there would be plenty of wounded.
Then there’s the land of Ironmydinnerjacket
Where as I’d be jailed for calling him a Misogynist Pig..Make that the whole Middle East.
NY it is…At least in NY they jail the misogynist Pigs.

DWP – Yes, men rape. But the situation is too bizzare considering the stakes the guy has. But I am not for the men here…lest we forget Arnold the terminator,governator, fornicator..that’s my husbands 2 cents. some women do make it up – not often but it has happened. Lacrosse boys and their accuser who was eventually arrested for killing her boyfriend.

Gas Chamber : according to Delle and I am paraphrasing, she thinks people not minding going through airport security as sheep – akin to people being hearded to the gas chambers during Hitlers time. I am just being a wise ass as the comparison just cracks me up.

So glad the blog is back in business!!

Yes, my first thought/observation too. ever notice how Obama is always missing some file, book, papers, laptop, etc. in these pics? I guess we’re supposed to assume he just knows everything through osmosis. When you see pics of Bill Clinton (and go back to JFK even) their desks are cluttered with papers, files, etc. Obama’s is eerily empty.

How many “powerful” males have risked it all in the name of their weinies and their over-inflated sense of entitlement? Clinton, Bush 1, Eisenhower, Kennedy (Ted, Jack, Bobby, and their sons and nephews), Jesse Jackson, Jesse Jackson Jr, Woody Allen, Robin Williams, Spitzer, Arnold, et al, and now this freak. Besides, the “powerful” who are accused usually have enough connections / money to pay off their accusers.

Agreed that there have been women who have accused falsely. The fact that those incidents can be named speaks to the rarity of false accusations. Given the peni-centric unnatural nature of this planet, and the frequency of rape, I always believe the women / children until their accusation is proven false.

It’s also interesting, predictable really, that many male bloggers are yelling and screaming about the unfairness of the accused being perp walked when he hasn’t been proven guilty yet. They conveniently overlook the fact that the perp has been CHARGED. OJ was also CHARGED but his dimwitted jury decided he was not guilty. (pfffft).
With Arnie, the boiz are screaming about how Maria knew Arnold’s track record with sexual abuse, so, 1) she should have known this would happen, 2) since she knew how / what arnold is therefore she isn’t a victim of his betrayal.

I think boiz tend to take this tact because they over-identify with the perps, realizing that they themselves are weak and could be in the same situation… it often seems like it is a thin line for them, therefore if they blame the woman/women constantly, their blaming will take hold and be the first thought anyone has when they hear some smuck being accused of rape.

That stinkin’ IMF chief has probably been raping women for years. If he was set up it was by someone who knew what he was doing and found it convenient to catch him at it.

Geeze, they are saying the woman was a widow who lived with her child in housing for adults with AIDS.

This is not your ordinary philandering fool.

Woman saved herself from attack:

Unfortunately, if she lived in NY she would probably be dead!

((goofs)) ((HP—and daughter)) and everyone else…pulling for everyone to pull thru…

omg…my son just graduated, my mom was here and just left…good stress is still stress…a little overwhelmed right now.

Have more to share…hahahaha, did anyone see the story on Peter Fonda calling Zero a traitor?? Look it up, I’ll try to provide links later. It’s about Zeroloser’s capitulation on BP in the Gulf.

Anyway, nose above water here, and son here for his last summer at home. “It’s all good” as the saying goes..!

(((Zee)))
Thanks!

Congratulations to you both.

Zee and Dances,

Jeezus! 4 days ago!! Fonda called obatshit a fucking trator!
Fonda is still alive after such a crime? Hell it must be the email got deleted with the other 7 billion fucktard “fan” mail the despot recieved.
Lucky for you Henry.
(evil)

Zee
Happy you have the summer to be with your son. I am sure he will fit you into his last carefree days.
Congrats to you and son!
Now do not think it is because you cook!

Thanks for the well wishes!

HP #129, lmfao….every time I cater to him I remind him I’m going to be starting “boot camp” soon and teach him how to fare on his own…

omg, off to see if Peter Fonda is single….

Well, I should have stopped watching Huckabee while I still liked him. One of us is an alien being from another planet.

Last night Greta was discussing the Trump candidacy and he is now saying that he may change his mind if the Repubs can’t find any better candidates than what he’s seeing.

Obama doesn’t know what year it is:

http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2011/05/president_obama_has_no_idea_wh.html

I haven’t seen much on tv re: obama’s trip. It was Netanyahu’s address to Congress this morning (NO TELEPROMPTER), and news of the tornados this afternoon and evening. What a relief not to have his face on tv all day.

Candice,

Please let us know you are okay.

More on the visit to UK…It is a joke…

“For his toast, Obama mentioned the queen’s long reign and the enduring links between the two countries.

“To Her Majesty the Queen,” Obama said, toasting “the vitality of the special relationship between our two peoples” and quoting William Shakespeare’s tribute “to this blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England” from “Richard II.” In an apparent miscue, the orchestra began playing “God Save the Queen” before Obama concluded, forcing him to speak over the music.

Shelia 7,

Please check in also and any other Pumas in the tornado paths.

OMG talk about ya akward moments..I got my Peter and Henry mixed up!!!
Oh well a Peter or a Henry is a small thing compared to the stupiddickheadinchief.

(((Delle)))

#158 – That was very frightening and you have every right to be upset. Makes me think of the movie “Birds”. I would have been shook up about it also!

Thank you goofsmom #159

I’m feeling calmer now. Hubby is home from work. As soon as he came in the door, he could tell there was something wrong. When he asked, I burst into tears again.

I really don’t mean to carry on so. Being attacked by a bird is trivial compared to living through one of the tornadoes that is rampaging through the country now. I realize that.

But it was such a frightening experience. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

Well, then again…..

((Delle!))

What a freakish nightmarish incident. Do you think you should get some tests? Was your skin pierced?

Maybe the thing to do is officially report it to your mayor’s office or something, in case it’s a trend and caused by some communicable disorder amongst birds.

I know what you mean, tho, about the horrible monster storms. It’s hard to feel justified complaining about anything when so many are losing everything.

Zee,

#164 – Way to go!!! Can you come over and help me with mine? j/k

Ditto on Oloser, doesn’t he read these speeches thru before the gets to the teleprompter? Practice them once or twice for pacing first. Obviously not!

Ya Zee don’t ya just love the names on the paint colors.
I have Solitude on my walls or is it Thunder? Forgot! I on the other hand picked TWO went with ONE……I am to old to waste time picking out paint or watching it dry!!!

This euopean trip has not been the best for the Obamas. First the limo gets stuck, then MO dress flies away at the trooping of the guard at the Palace, then BO flubs the toast to the Queen. I watched most of this live on tv coverage as it took place and was shaking my head. The British are so proper and stoic that it made it so much worse. Hillary looked stunning at the state dinner.

BCL #168

The bird that attacked me was a black crow. I don’t really know how big it was, since it all happened so fast.

I have a little mark on my arm where the bird pricked me and a round swollen mark – like a welt – on the back of my hand where I hit it to get it away. Nothing serious.

The bird on the ground was a small black crow. It was already dead, which was why I was so shocked to see the violence of the big crow.

I called my town clerk’s office and reported it – as Zee advised. Someone should be sent to pick up the dead bird. Whoever gets the job should be aware of the attack and take precaustion.

Thanks.

Congratulations Headclunker

#176 Headclunker….mega-congrats and I love your coinage! Alphafemalephobic, indeed.

AFP’s.

It was a woman engineer at my son’s school who recommended him for the job he then landed. I had a chance to meet her and her family at his graduation, and what a confident, self-assured young woman she was. Boatloads of that, with no grandstanding, just down to earth and secure in herself…with a very loving and proud family supporting her. The guyz, including my son…are guys. Oblivious in many ways…but still, not AFP’s. So there is real-hope for real-change..she was neither objectified nor condescended to, or resented, and since she had a boyfriend amongst them, she was also not just one of the boys to at least one there!
But I bet in the general population she is met with much prejudice, so we need all the women engineers we can get!

#168 BCL

‘if it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all’

jeez, I so relate. And the icing on the cake will be to get my house in beautiful shape only to hand it over to others. But I look at that as a VACATION from house ownership crushing responsibilities. Right now I’m communicating with an awesome family from Texas who, for some reason, want to leave their warm state and come here and deal with oil heat and shoveling nonstop snow.

#167 HP….hahahaha, I kid you not, I watch the damn paint dry. Yep, I do know that life’s too short.

Headclunker #176, excellent … congratulations!
You belong on Murphy’s Smoking Women list.

gojoyknocks

YES!!!! Ship is at 7 AM out at 3 PM…….I will ring your cell tonight, okay?

You fill ^ ME ^ with joy………… Bravo Headclunker.

Congratulations Headclunker !
I’m sure it wasn’t easy but you did it !

Congratulations Headclunker!!!

Thanks for all the good wishes. I am going to start a solar energy business (although I am not quitting my day job). Solar energy technology is so not there. Alot of very interesting stuff, but no focus.

Shelia7 and Candice,

Thank you so much for checking in.

Nikkismom, please let us know you are okay.

Headclunker,

WAY TO GO, that is wonderful!!!

(((PUMAs)))

what’s up

Nice work HC – you ROCK !

After the arrest for rape of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, NY Mag found this photo in its time capsule of his first meeting with the Obamas:

http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2011/05/from_the_time_capsule_dominiqu.html?mid=twitter_DailyIntel

Look how he is leaning towards Michelle. See that look on his face! Notice Obama’s hand. That’s not a gesture of greeting, but rather Obama is holding him back.

What a creepy man!

I have a feeling that his reputation was well known long before the incident in NY.

Dances,

#200 – That’s sounds wonderful. Have a wonderful time!! Say howdy for us PUMAs to SF Puma.

Stoney42,

#202 – Thank you so much for sharing the link. Well said and beautiful.

Goofs, I hate hate hate weeding and gardening! Almost as much as I hate paperwork.

I meant weeding out stuff. I’m still working on it. Finished a wallpaper job today….and got rid of the stupid BOX of supplies that was sitting there gathering dust and reminding me of the unfinished project. It breaks my heart how good it looks and how long I lived with it undone. And I’m looking to handing my home over to others because I can’t swing this place alone, so that’s one I blew for finishing in time to enjoy it!

On a happier note, I celebrated the holiday weekend, plus b-days and graduations, with a friend in her new sprawling insanely awesome home. I mean better her than me, with all the work the place needs, but dannnng. When I walked in to see three drop dead gorgeous lead crystal chandeliers hanging from ornate plaster medallions in the foyer, dining and living rooms, plus the curved staircase, I could not stop exclaiming. All that, and vintage wallpaper, too…!

Headclunker…I agree…solar energy, and other similar new lines are not being rolled out as they should be.

ok….night…balancing on a ladder all day has wiped me out. darn it all.

Thank you to all our active duty, retired and veteran Military PUMAs and family.

It was a beautiful Memorial Day here in CA and I remembered to say prayers for all those who have served our country and protected our freedoms.

New post upstairs. Honora, please re-post your comment, thanks.
