Just tell everyone students are the future “job creators” and they can get whatever they want. Just like the bankers and wealthy.

This is a devastating article of further Iraqi suffering that does not get any media attention in this country. It is not just the war, but the continued after affects long after the war is over. http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2013/03/2013315171951838638.html

Dick Durbin needs to be on this list. He is Obama’s cheerleader for a Grand Bargain.

After Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head, I thought we would have some kind of discussion and maybe even bills introduced to curb gun violence. But even THAT did not register a blip on the elitists, selfish cowardly pricks we have running this country.

Hurricane Sandy won’t register either. My initial thought prior to the storm hitting would be that it would expose all the deficiencies in our infrastructure and lead to some kid of action. But now I have come to my senses.

I have lost all hope on anything resembling compassion for the least among us in Washington, and I am sure they will be back to discussing how best to cut the Federal Government at the expense of the people that have and continue to suffer the most economically.

Yes! I have never forgiven Durbin for that – and hope we have a progressive challenger come 2014. I gave up calling his office — his staff is ignorant of most issues I try to discuss with them and him flogging the latest “grand bargain” attempts shows he has lost touch with his base.

“The middle class is strangely being redefined to also include everyone just shy of being in the top 1 percent.”

Just like the media being defined as “liberal” and biased, this is just another propaganda campaign and it started a while ago and even sucked in a talking bobble head from the networks: “During the ABC News-Facebook debate, moderator Charlie Gibson suggested that the Democratic presidential candidates’ proposals to roll back or let some of President Bush’s tax cuts expire would affect middle-class families, adding, “If you take a family of two professors here at St. Anselm, they’re going to be in the $200,000 category that you’re talking about lifting the taxes on.”"

You can hardly blame Romney – he is just taking advantage of our failed media experiment!

“being seen as the reason a campaign lost is another. The latter could be devastating for a professional operative.”

Could be is the operative word — there are so many people that fail upwards such as Bob Shrum.

My thought exactly — thank you.

Obama always addresses issues well when speaking — it’s his follow up that is lacking and disappointing.

I can’t believe how angry I am about this case and the total lack of justice — so glad to see this getting the coverage it deserves.

But with this post, I want to bring up one point — and that is Obama doesn’t “want to impair any legal process” in this particular case in which I agree, but he had no problem declaring Bradley Manning guilty.

I wonder if it was always the administration’s position/policy (specifically that crook Geithner) to run out the clock via the statute of limitations on the various illegalities so that you are left with nothing.

Obama is just telling people what they want to hear and it will be the FISA retroactive immunity crap all over again. Fool me once . . .

Full disclosure on my prior post: I can’t stand Gloria or any of the talking bobble heads that regularly appear on CNN to recite their Kabuki lines. They are all Washington insiders and they add nothing to moving this country forward.

I realize Ron Paul is fringe but Gloria Borger has some conflicts of interests that may reflect why she chose to go after Paul now. From Economic Policy Journal:

Well, well, it turns out hit job specialist Gloria Borger is married to Lance Morgan. Morgan is according to the web site of his employer, Powell Tate,”chief communications strategist at Powell Tate in Washington, D.C. He specializes in developing and executing communications strategies for public policy debates, crisis communications and media training.”

So who might be the clients of Powell Tate, where Borger’s husband is “chief communications strategist and crisis communications” adviser for?

Just about every part of the military industrial-complex that Ron Paul wants to shrink or shutdown. According to the Powell Tate web site, they are strategic communications for among others:

The U.S. Army

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services

The U.S Agency for International Development

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce

and, I’m not joking, The National Pork Board.

Bottom line Gloria Borger’s husband is as inside Washington DC as you can get.

This was a total hit job, bringing up decades old accusations about a newsletter that everyone agrees was written by others, while Dr. Paul was practicing medicine. Further, as Justin Ramindo has clearly shown , most of the charges were made by people who couldn’t have read the newsletters in full context.

I sent that image to about 3 NY Times reporters when they falsely reported on the debt/deficit. Pretty unbelievable how co-opted the NY Times is by the deficit feitishtas.

Here is my question — where was Blitzer’s outrage at the audiences’ response? Where was his further follow up to the candidates about the audience’s obscene reaction? Same with Williams with the cheering on of the deaths of convicted criminals.

These multi-millionaires want for nothing so they have no clue about an average American life, and they are just as debased as the audience — as a common sense reaction to such a gross display of depravity would be to call it out and then grill the candidates about what just happened.

Instead they glossed over it like it was a game. Blitzer and Williams have absolutely no clue what it is like living in the trenches of American economic disparity – lacking the resources to proper health care, nutritious food, a healthy way of life, etc. This is nothing but ratings and entertainment for them.

So who is worse — the audience, or these Courtiers of the media who prostrate themselves to power and money?

6 rich, old white guys making economic policy for the rest of us. What could possibly go wrong?

And the hits just keep on coming . . .

Makes me mad Durbin has a safe seat here in Illinois. And I am not all that sure about Jan Schakowsky as she caves as well despite speaking out. And Mark Kirk is a waste.

Depressing . . .

Love the line about laser focus on jobs and investments after all this. He has had 2-1/2 years to do that and nothing but a paltry stimulus that was half tax cuts. And notice no mention of defense and the multiple of wars that is draining our treasury of anything that would stimulate the economy.

And after this is the budget battle where we will be treated to even more spending cuts. This is a never ending train wreck with corrupt cowards calling the shots. We are screwed.
