GITMO

President Obama will close Guantanamo bay Gulag (oops Prison)
He will begin the precess of choosing which prisoners are to be tried in the U.S. While Terrorists with known ties terrorist association will be facing a Military Tribunal. I believe we could use the Military Tribunal for all the prisoners.
Republicans say we should not bring terrorists to our country. They say keep Gitmo open
When we kidnapped (oops arrested) people in Afghanistan and Iraq didn't we ask their names and keep track of what county they came from?
After nearly 8 years we should have been able to identify those who were actually active in Terrorism.
We don't have to release anyone into the U.S.
We should be able to, by military Transport, return innocent prisoners to their country.
Do we know where they are from? Do we even know their names.
Gitmo is a shame and should never been open buy the Bush/Chaney administration.

President Obama's Speech

The President gave America the outline for economic recovery in his speech last night.
"Over the next two years, this plan will save or create 3.5 million jobs. More than 90 percent of these jobs will be in the private sector -- jobs rebuilding our roads and bridges; constructing wind turbines and solar panels; laying broadband and expanding mass transit. "
He also added there will be a plan to help, the responsible citizens, who are having problems meeting their mortgages
He also called for Health Reform. Health care in America has been a drain on so many peoples finances .
In his speech he stressed that the Government must do something to get credit restored and aid to States that are suffering from the economy.
Helping education will save many Teaching jobs as states budgets are shrinking and teacher layoffs are planned.
Investing in the education of American youth will help now and pay off double in the future.
The Government cannot stand by a let banks fail and businesses close

As the Economy Crumbles, so goes the days of our lives

In 2008, right before the Christmas Season, Circuit City closed it door for good.

Linen and Things went out of business also.

Office Max also closed stores in December.

Now Moody has published a list of businesses that will fold in 2009.

Here are just a few:

RITE AID has a large debt after trying to expand by acquiring Brooks and Echerd drug stores CLAIRS STORES- Maul outlets that catered to teens with a line of low end accessories

CHRYSLER CORP. Trucks consist of the bulk of their Auto sales.

DOLLAR THRIFTY a small rent a car company suffering from reduced business travel and vacation business

LOEHMANNS CAPITAL CORP. consumer cutbacks is hitting this retailer very hard.

SBARRO great Pizza but they are located inside malls and mall business is down.

SIX FLAGS consumer cutbacks hurting their business and forecast for 2009 are down.

BLOCK BUSTER Competing with cable and Direct T.V combined with consumer cutback.

KRISPY CREME Once again their expansion right before this economic breakdown.

SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO low profit and reduced new subscribers is hurting their bottom line

These are just a few of the businesses that are in trouble in these trying times.

The Republicans playing politics appear feel no urgency in passing an economic recovery plan.

Maybe they think tax breaks can fix this Economic Breakdown.

I guess the only safe stocks to buy are the Defence Contractors and the Oil companies.

Nothing Changes.

President Obama Speaks to the Nation

February 10, 2009

President Obama call for immediate action on economy
Last night President Obama spoke to the country about our Economy. He stressed the need for the Government to step in and take immediate action to stem the fall of our economic system. He called for putting in money toward jobs and build up our intra-structure. He mentioned alternative energy, building of roads and bridges, helping our schools modernize for the 21st. century. modernize our Heath care system. The Stimulus package now has more tax cuts and more money to increase jobs in our nation..The Republicans have been making idle criticism of the plan calling for more tax cuts and screaming from the highest places too much Pork. That has been their plan for the Last 8 years and look what it has gotten us into. The Republicans are not looking for a solution they are preparing for their next campaign slogan: "Tax cuts for the rich." The Republicans think we can be fooled with a few more dollars in the paychecks of the people that still have jobs. One Republican said we should just give the money to the tax payers. Oh come on, would even 30,000 dollars to each of us improve the financial situation. This is just more of their thoughtless plans designed to get votes. We need our congress to come together for the good of America. Not the good of one party.This bill does not contain any real "pork projects" They cannot win with the tired old "BRIDGE TO NOWHERE" fable.The President has the countries well being in mind and has a plan to get us out of the situation the tired old Republican policies have gotten us into.

Republicans in Congress

"Here comes old flattop
he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball,
He one holy roller
He say one and one and one is three
Got to be a joker
he do just what he please.
Come together right now over me. (our country)
Come together right night over me."(our country) r

From the Beatles song "Come Together"

STIMULATE US PACKAGE

President Obama's Stimulus Package has come under attack by conservative Republicans.They object to contraceptives to be given out in schools. they object to the money given to the arts Some Republicans are against the transfer of wealth to the corporations that are failing. I can understand that the Republicans do not want all the Pork that the package contains. Health care, etc. Republicans would like to see more tax relief arguing we can not spend our way out of this recession.While the Auto industry goes further into debt and the Credit industry is still faltering Congress still does not have a bill passed. The bill does contain 500 dollar tax cut for people earning under 75,000 and $1000 for families earning up to $150,000 dollars.The Republicans say that their plan would give families an average of $1700 in savings. Which way should we go? Would it be better putting more money in helping industry build back up, or put more money in individuals hands and hope they spend the way to recovery?There must be help for the banking system if we are going to get out of this recession. In addition, there must be loans available to the the Auto Industry and concessions made by the unions. 300 billion would go to helping the States with their budgets. We need a package passed as soon as possible, but it should not contain giving out contraceptives to high school students. This should be a stimulus package to aid companies and banks to get us back on track for a prosperous America. Now is not the time to add on to this bill for projects that do not improve the economy. adding Pork to the bill is not popular at this time and the Democrats should not use this bill to finance pet projects. Some Conservatives have said giving tax breaks to individuals help the Free Market System correct itself. The answer lies somewhere between the 2 proposals.

Our 44th President Barrack Obama

President Obama, at his inauguration, quoted from the New Testament ''when I was a child I acted as a child" a clear statement against old partisan politics of the 60s. President Obama began this week with a dinner for John McCain and 20 Conservative politicians were in attendance. President Obama reached out to the conservatives to give him their view on issues facing America.
The 60's thinking of "us and them" was wrong. the new generation wants our government united.
We must put away the things that divide us. I applaud our new President for his desire to forge ahead united for the good of the country. He appears to be willing to work with both sides of the congress.
President Obama has shown, in his speech, he will treat the rest of the world with respect:
" To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West — know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world's resources without regard to effect. For the world has changed, and we must change with it.
