[RealClearPolitics - Articles] RealClearPolitics - Obama: Bank Bailout 'Necessary,' Iraq War 'Dumb': Under TARP, the federal government committed hundreds of billions of dollars to bail out financial institutions. But for this bailout, argued the Bush and Obama administrations, banks would stop lending, and our entire financial system faced collapse -- directly affecting all Americans.

[blog.cagle.com - main] Cartoons | blog.cagle.com - main: Daily, it dawns on ever more Americans that the man in the White House is not the one they thought they met when he waltzed onto the stage and stole their hearts at recent Democratic National Conventions. At that time, Obama intoxicated the masses eager for hope and change with his punch of smooth oratory, soaring rhetoric and promises galore.

[Rising in Phoenix] Feb 6, 2010 « Rising in Phoenix: In the absence of an overriding commitment to the defense of American primacy in the world, the Obama administration “cheats.” It will not quit the war in Afghanistan but doesn’t fully embrace it as its cause. It prosecutes the war but with Republican support””the diehards in liberal ranks and the isolationists are in no mood for bonding with Afghans.

[KeithHennessey.com] Ten years ago? Seriously? | KeithHennessey.com: The fact is, 10 years ago, we had a budget surplus of more than $200 billion, with projected surpluses stretching out toward the horizon.  Yet over the course of the past 10 years, the previous administration and previous Congresses created an expensive new drug program, passed massive tax cuts for the wealthy, and funded two wars without paying for any of it -- all of which was compounded by recession and by rising health care costs.  As a result, when I first walked through the door, the deficit stood at $1.3 trillion, with projected deficits of $8 trillion over the next decade.

[The LA Progressive] Mr. Obama, You Need to Forcefully Take the Lead | The LA Progressive: It is easy to understand that you are beholden to corporate interests in a number of diverse ways, which could limit your sense of options relative to unrestrained fossil fuel use. Yet, we, all together, cannot face run-away climate change, weak support for constructive energy programs, unbridled economic growth, barely regulated free trade, ever expanding resource wars, critical resource depletions (involving water, minerals, oil and so forth), high extinction rates for multitudinous species, overall environmental ruin, increasing overpopulation, grossly inequitable sharing of global wealth and other dire conditions, and all of which are interconnected, without your forcefully taking the lead to address them and doing so in a holistic tough fashion.

[MoJo Blogs and Articles | Mother Jones] Obama's Nuclear Giveaway | Mother Jones: Environmental groups warn that if the Obama administration sinks large sums into nuclear power, it will come at the expense of other energy sources that are both cheaper and more effective at combating pollution. In a 2009 study, economist Mark Cooper, senior fellow at the Institute for Energy and the Environment at Vermont Law School, found that building and operating 100 new nuclear reactors—as some Republicans have advocated—would cost $1.9 trillion to $4.1 trillion more over the life of the reactors than generating the same amount of electricity from renewable energy and energy efficiency measures.

[Rocky Mountain Peace & Justice Center] State of the Union Speech: Where is the Change? | Rocky Mountain ...: The militaristic approach used by both administrations has simply increased the number of terrorists and turned much of the world against the U.S. Obama also echoes Bush in treating Iraq as a success story when it has been a major disaster and war crime of humongous proportions. One key step Obama must pursue is to work for a just peace between Israelis and Palestinians that is based on international law, human rights and justice.

[FrontPage Magazine] Obama's Budget Blame Game | FrontPage Magazine: Barack Obama’s 2009 Supplemental Appropriations for Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Pandemic Flu was revised and “passed by the full committee”. Not sure what the next step is, but based on the summary, it gives billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to countries and entities that support sharia law and/or harbor, hide and support those who want to destroy the U.S. and our allies.

[The Global Realm] Pentagon Time « The Global Realm: I’m speaking, of course, about the Pentagon, for which Congress has just passed a record new budget of $708 billion (with an Afghan war-fighting supplemental request of $33 billion, essentially a bail-out payment, still pending but sure to pass). This happened without real debate, much public notice, or even a touch of anger in Washington or Massachusetts.

[Expose Obama] Expose Obama » Blog Archive » Watch Obama's Actions, Not His Words: And now we see clearly the role the MSM plays in our elections and we will seeek truth and reject thee obviously bias networks, as more and more Americans are doing day by day according to Nielson ratings. Obama has single-handedly strenghtened the new conservative movement and has inspired ordinary Americans who didn't take politics too seriously realize what can happen with voter complacency.

[CNN Political Ticker] CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive ...: They keep talking about being anti-lobbyist and trying to align with Main Street.

[Go Green Toolshed] Go Green Toolshed » Blog Archive » Geithner tells house panel ...: the White House goal has been to reduce the deficit to about 3 per cent of GDP, a level that most economists say is sustainable. Administration officials have said the deficit stems in large part from the recession and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq that began during the administration of President George W.

[CNN Political Ticker] CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive ...: In all honesty,I do not know how America can survive more non-sense from Obama and the Democrats.They seem to be determined to ruin us.Blame it on Bush is a sickening statement,why not just admit that you,Obama and Dems are failing .On the otherside,the Republicans fell asleep at the wheel and crashed to ship when they were in control.I am starting to think the American people have no representation in Washington that know what is happening or have a cure what to do!The Republicans are bad;but,the Dems are even worst.The American taxpayer at this point doomed.

[Rethink Afghanistan War Blog] Tomgram: Our Wars Are Killing Us - Rethink Afghanistan War Blog: This, in short, is Pentagon time and it’s we who fund that clock which ticks toward eternity.  If the Pentagon gets in trouble, war-fighting or otherwise, we bail it out without serious debate or any of the anger we saw in the Massachusetts election.  No one marches in the streets, or demands that Pentagon bailouts end, or votes ”˜em (or at least their supporters) out of office.

[CNN Political Ticker] CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive ...: Finally, Maybe If President Obama had listened to those of us on White House.Gov who were telling him to get some good Economists, instead of Shock Doctors, they'd all be clear and citizens would KNOW that they ARE NOT Free Traders, just like the Republicans and others!
