Colin Powell--Republican?
Labels and words no longer mean anything?
Republican, Democratic, Marriage, Straight, Gay, Patriotic, Honest, Moral, Legal, Illegal, Alien, Global Cooling, Global Warming, Rich, Poor, Black, White, Hot, Cold, Natural Born Citizen, Journalist, The Media, News, Citizen, Green, Pollution, Earmarks, Bribes, Campaign Donations, Corruption, Efficient, Economical, English, Spanish, Terrorist, Pirates, Allies, Enemy, Constituional...With the current Campaigner in Chief track record the informed voter should not pay attention to any words uttered. We are beyond the question of "Does Character really Matter?" It is obvious it does not, therefore words do not matter either. Speeches are words put together for the "News Media" to have something to occupy their time either debating, arguing, or bringing in biased and funded supporters to pontificate about. Since The Media no longer investigates, challenges, and exposes this Administration, they must have a collection of Meaningless Words to occupy their useless time while they are growing broke blaming it on something or someone else, or the internet.
What they can't avoid is, "Do Actions still Matter?" I maintain that you can change all the definitions you want to, but in the end actions have consequences which the slick Politicians can deny and blame on their opponent through meaningless words. But actions are where they ultimately must be held accountable.
Colin Powell has the right to claim he is anything he wants to be and has (Obama and Clinton have established this precedent). The Media will continue to avoid the clarification of the Words. In the end, The Voter has the responsibility to judge all men/women on their actions.
Maybe Powell did vote for Obama. Maybe Powell doesn't care whether Obama is a Legal Office Holder or a Marxist. Maybe Powell supports an Obama Spending Plan. Maybe Powell wants to close Gitmo without a plan. Maybe Powell wants to spread the wealth. Maybe Powell didn't see the integrity of President Bush.
Maybe Powell doesn't know the difference between a Republican and a Democrat.
Do you?

Help Stop Bill Undermining Farmers Branch’s Illegal-Alien Renting Restrictions
This is a special message for NumbersUSA members in Texas.
Dear Texas friends,
Immediate calls are needed to members of the Texas House Calendars Committee. That state committee will very soon consider SB 1398, a bill designed to stop cities like Farmers Branch from prohibiting landlords from renting to illegal aliens.
SB 1398 says, “A municipality may not require a tenant to acquire a license or permit issued by the municipality as a condition for occupying or leasing an individual dwelling unit.” If SB 1398 were to be enacted, Farmers Branch, and every other city in Texas, would be prevented from imposing restrictions on those who rent to illegal aliens.
Please contact House Calendar Committee members to ask them to vote against SB 1398. Talking points are included below.
CHAIRMAN BRIAN MCCALL (512) 463-0594
BURT SOLOMONS (512) 463-0478
CHARLIE GEREN (512) 463-0610
NORMA CHAVEZ (512) 463-0622
GARNETT COLEMAN (512) 463-0524
BYRON COOK (512) 463-0730
BRANDON CREIGHTON (512) 463-0726
JIM KEFFER (512) 463-0656
LOIS KOLKHORST (512) 463-0600
EDMUND KUEMPEL (512) 463-0602
EDDIE LUCIO (512) 463-0606
JIM MCREYNOLDS (512) 463-0490
ALAN RITTER (512) 463-0706
Talking Points
Please vote no on SB 1398. Although the bill does not mention illegal immigration, it is aimed at cities like Farmers Branch to stop their ability to deal with illegal immigration through the granting of licenses for the occupancy of single and multifamily dwellings. Cities have attempted to enact ordinances that require only legal residents to occupy housing in their communities.
The City of Farmers Branch has spent well over $1 million to defend its license ordinance. If passed into law, SB 1398 would interfere with ongoing legal proceedings concerning the validity of the ordinance requiring a rental license to occupy a single or multifamily unit in the city. It would strip a city’s local control to issue licenses and cost tax payers a great deal of money in the process.
The bill is an end-around of the legal system and violates the rights of Texas cities to regulate local affairs. Stopping the Farmers Branch efforts with this legislation will also eliminate the possibility of other communities benefiting from the outcome of the court concerning illegal immigration. In effect, the legislation would derail efforts by many communities to help the federal government address the illegal immigration problem.
Also, please contact Speaker Joe Straus (512-463-0686) and your Representative and ask them to work to defeat SB 1398. If you need to look up the name of your Representative, please use this link - http://www.house.state.tx.us/members/welcome.php.

So This is the Change You Voted For!
Obama is Unifying the Nation Against Washington DC
By JB Williams Monday, March 9, 2009
From CanadaFreePress.comAccording to Rasmussenreports.com only 16% of the nation strongly disapproved of Barack Hussein Obama on the day of his inauguration. That number has since become 32%, doubling during his first six weeks in office.
Not even all those who approved strongly on inauguration day, still approve today, that number dropping from 41% to 38%.
This most likely has a lot to do with the fact that Obama and Pelosi’s Obamanomics adventure into Marxism, has already cost average Americans nearly $3 Trillion in lost investments and savings, as the DOW lost another 30% of its values just since the day Obama was elected.
$4 Trillion in Marxist Social Engineering efforts, all at overtaxed taxpayer expense may have something to do with it too.
News Flash!
It took leftists seventy years of deficit spending to put the nation a trillion dollars in debt. It took Obama and Pelosi less than six weeks in power to quadruple that number while killing off any hope for a free market recovery of the economy.
Meanwhile, some of the most reliable employers in the nation are headed for bankruptcy court, unemployment has shot from the Bush high of 5% to over 8% and climbing, as the nation, the world braces for the worst economic storm on record. Now that’s making history the hard way!
Obama Chaos has only begun! It's not by accident, nor ignorance, but by plan. Say what peasants want to hear, create crisis, and install government fix.
The Fix Is In. By the time you believe it, it is too late.

Rick's Revolution
Beware of Dirt Digger. This administration does keep records and will get even:
Shauna Daly, a 29-year-old Democratic operative, was named last month to the new job of White House counsel research director. Though she is inside one of the most powerful legal offices in the land, Miss Daly holds no law degree and doesn't list any legal training on her resume.
Her sole experience has been as an opposition researcher for Democratic political campaigns: She helped dig up dirt on rivals, or on her own nominee to prepare for attacks.

Chasos of Any Kind!
Feb 12th 2009
From The Economist print edition
Toxic tantrums, contingent chaos
The fiscal stimulus plan has some obvious flaws. Too much of the boost to demand is backloaded to 2010 and beyond. The compromise bill is larded with spending determined more by Democrat lawmakers’ pet projects than by the efficiency with which the economy will be boosted. And it contains “Buy American” clauses that, even in their watered-down version, send the wrong signal to trading partners.
I'm not sure how much more we can stand of this "Administration, but I know some of you respect The Economist.
Obama Economics or World Financial Plan?
Who is Pulling Geithner’s Strings?
AIM Column | By Cliff Kincaid | February 11, 2009
Geithner may not have all the answers because he has not gotten his marching orders. Those orders come from China, the global elite and the international bankers. After giving non-answers to Congress, Geithner is preparing to take off for a G-7 Meeting of Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors in Rome, Italy. These foreign finance officials may determine the nature and fate of Geithner’s “stability and recovery” plan.These top finance officials include central bank governors, who play a role in what press reports described as “economic coordination among the top industrialized nations.”
One key global player is China. “Geithner spoke late on Sunday evening with Chinese Vice Premier Wang Qishan,” Reuters reported. Hence, Geithner was talking to a Chinese official even before he outlined his “plan” to the American people and the Senate. This was the second such conversation in a week.
In a statement, the Treasury Department said that Wang and Geithner “agreed that strong cooperation on macroeconomic financial and regulatory matters was an essential part of the U.S. relationship with China and that it was important to sustain close dialogue, particularly at this time of global financial turmoil.”
If you're going to Trust the Libs, then at least maybe you'll do some Verification.
Why TARP and Who Caused It!
February 10, 2009
KANJORSKI: On Thursday at about 11 o'clock in the morning the Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous drawdown of money market accounts in the United States, to the tune of $550 billion was being drawn out in a matter of an hour or two. The Treasury opened up its window to help. It pumped $105 billion in the system and quickly realized that they could not stem the tide; we were having an electronic run on the banks. They decided to close the operation, close down the money accounts and announce a guarantee of $250,000 per account so there wouldn't be further panic out there.While this link may cover Why, the question of Who could be very revealing and incriminating.
RUSH: Do you remember this? This is the day I think that the Atlanta banks ran out of one-hundred-dollar bills. But now stop and think of this: A $550 billion withdrawal from money market funds in one-to-two hours. I am convinced -- and there's one more sound bite to go here -- I am convinced that this is what they took to the White House and said to President Bush, "We have got a disaster, you have got to get on board with a bailout," which came later on in October, "you've got to get on board with this $700 billion, the TARP 1," all because 550 -- now, what precipitated this? Here's the second Kanjorski sound bite.
KANJORSKI: If they had not done that, their estimation was that by two o'clock that afternoon, five-and-a-half trillion dollars would have been drawn out of the money market system of the United States, would have collapsed the entire economy of the United States, and within 24 hours the world economy would have collapsed. It would have been the end of our economic system and our political system as we know it. We're really no better off today than we were three months ago because we've had a decrease in the equity positions of banks because other assets are going sour by the moment.

Doctors for Obama?
From Bloomberg Press
The bill’s health rules will affect “every individual in the United States” (445, 454, 479). Your medical treatments will be tracked electronically by a federal system. Having electronic medical records at your fingertips, easily transferred to a hospital, is beneficial. It will help avoid duplicate tests and errors.
But the bill goes further. One new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective. The goal is to reduce costs and “guide” your doctor’s decisions (442, 446). These provisions in the stimulus bill are virtually identical to what Daschle prescribed in his 2008 book, “Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis.” According to Daschle, doctors have to give up autonomy and “learn to operate less like solo practitioners.”
Keeping doctors informed of the newest medical findings is important, but enforcing uniformity goes too far.
New Penalties
Hospitals and doctors that are not “meaningful users” of the new system will face penalties. “Meaningful user” isn’t defined in the bill. That will be left to the HHS secretary, who will be empowered to impose “more stringent measures of meaningful use over time” (511, 518, 540-541)
New Obama motto: "Now Government can do everything, I won."
Sunday, February 8, 2009
Change to Ponder!
Well now that it's too late, you know the truth. The Compassionate Conservative President was the only "restraint" and bipartisanship we had. So if it was too much for you then, what do you think it's going to be like now? Are you getting the picture, even now?
Keep in mind that while the Bush Administration requested almost $1,000,000,000,000.00 Bailout Package, they only spent $350 Billion of it. $350 Billion seems low to bailout the Lib's policy that was ocassionaly checked by two handfulls of conservatives and a President with integrity. Not a bad cost to keep the country from failing because of Lib creations like Fannie and Freddie (Dodd and Frank) and Citybank (Rubin).
Does anyone remember that in addition to investing in some of the big banks and still having $350 Billion in bailout (being converted now to campaign reimbursement) that the Campaigner in Chief Administration is planning to spend (pay off more constituents) almost another $1,000,000,000,000.00 before having spent the first one.
Well thanks to many who wanted change without caring what kind of change, the ultra Libs now have complete control of the House, the Senate, and the newly selected Presidential office occupied by the Socialist Campaigner in Chief. You can forget about bipartisianship at this point in time, and it really doesn't matter. Damn the Torpedos Full Speed Ahead. Radical Socialism is what the people wanted and thats what they are going to get. Elections have consequences. The Socialist won.
While many of us look to history to predict the future, sometimes we fail to include the present circumstances in those predictions. While the past has brought us known cycles, the future, as we currently view it will not follow the current cycle based on our short history. This cycle will now move out of the American History Cycle, and into the Socialist Cycle which will look more like Rome, England, France, and Russia.
God Help Us!

Socialized Medicine Foundation--SCHIP/Stimulus
Democratic Stealth Care
With the nation preoccupied by the financial crisis, Democrats have been quietly working to nationalize health care.
-
By KIMBERLEY A. STRASSEL
Initially designed for children of working-poor families, this new Super-Schip will be double in size, and even kids whose parents make $65,000 a year will be eligible. The program will also now cover pregnant women and automatically enroll their new arrivals. The Congressional Budget Office estimates 2.4 million individuals will drop their private coverage for the public program.Still, it's the "stimulus" that has proven the real gift horse -- a behemoth that has allowed Democrats to speed up the takeover of health care under cover of an economic crisis. They initially claimed, for instance, the "stimulus" would provide Medicaid money to states struggling to pay existing bills. What in fact it does is dramatically expand the number of Americans who qualify for Medicaid.
Under "stimulus," Medicaid is now on offer not to just poor Americans, but Americans who have lost their jobs. And not just Americans who have lost their jobs, but their spouses and their children. And not Americans who recently lost their jobs, but those who lost jobs, say, early last year. And not just Americans who already lost their jobs, but those who will lose their jobs up to 2011. The federal government is graciously footing the whole bill. The legislation also forbids states to apply income tests in most cases....
The "stimulus" also hijacks Cobra, a program that lets the unemployed retain access to their former company health benefits -- usually for about 18 months. The new stimulus permits any former employee over the age of 55 to keep using Cobra right up until they qualify for Medicare at age 65. And here's the kicker: Whereas employees were previously responsible for paying their health premiums while on Cobra, now the feds will pay 65%. CBO estimates? Seven million Americans will have the feds mostly pay their insurance bills in 2009.
Welcome to "stealth" socialized medicine. That's the good news, it's only going to get worse.
Tom Daschle, the tax cheat, is only a diversion tactic, just to keep the news off the real issue-Socialized Medicine:

The group of billionaire activists often come together under the rubric of the Democracy Alliance (DA) . This group has, among other activities, funded the Secretary of States Project that has helped to elect friendly state Secretary of States so as to have friends in key positions come election time. The group has also worked to elect friendly Senators (Al Franken in Minnesota, for one example). The Democracy Alliance has funded a smorgasbord of left-wing activists groups-such as ACORN and MoveOn.Org.Keep electing Left Wing Nuts and you will keep getting more Left Wing Nuts.

Campaigner in Chief replaces Commander in Chief
The implication for such an Executive Order is obvious:
- The "President" would no longer be responsible for duties as Commander in Chief, since he has no experience in this position and can't be held responsible for it's failure because he is too important to fail.
- As Campaigner in Chief he can continue to carry on the duties he has demonstrated since entering public service, thereby taking full advantage of his qualifications.
- He would no longer be embarrassed in press conference, by having to clarify minor policy decision such as how detainees at Gitmo are going to be handled when a Campaign policy is being announced.
- He can continue to give press conferences with a teleprompter as he has did for those challenging rodeo attendants during his campaign that led to his appointment as Campaigner in Chief.
- As "President" he can continue to elevate the importance of campaigning, and not be troubled by the disrupting day to day interference of governing.
- It would allow him to meet his commitments to transparency because he doesn't, and wouldn't need to know, anything about the primary duty of Commander in Chief --That of protecting the United States of America. This was illustrated by his Gitmo decision and press conference yesterday.
- He can continue to concentrate on growing the government and promoting Socialistic ideas.
- He can legally add the Obama Symbol to Air Force One if it hasn't already been done.
- He can continue legitimately his racist defense and policies, and openly endorse Robert Reich policy's of excluding White Men and other unconstitutional policies.
- As Campaigner in Chief he can continue to be excluded from Constitutional requirements and can remain "President" in spite of his lack of legal birth requirements. (He hasn't provided any proof that I've seen). That's the definition of transparent that he will continue to use. Now you see it, now you don't.
- Don't forget money, commitments, and associations. He can continue fund raising without reporting sources. Commitments can continue to be made and selectively implemented. He can continue to appease the enemy without public scrutiny or responsibility.
I could be wrong, but it looks like this Executive Order has already been implemented--just not announced publicly.

THE OBAMA PRESIDENCY: HERE COMES SOCIALISM
Published on TheHill.com on January 20, 2009
2009-2010 will rank with 1913-14, 1933-36, 1964-65 and 1981-82 as years that will permanently change our government, politics and lives. Just as the stars were aligned for Wilson, Roosevelt, Johnson and Reagan, they are aligned for Obama. Simply put, we enter his administration as free-enterprise, market-dominated, laissez-faire America. We will shortly become like Germany, France, the United Kingdom, or Sweden — a socialist democracy in which the government dominates the economy, determines private-sector priorities and offers a vastly expanded range of services to many more people at much higher taxes.

China Needs Trump U.S. Capitalism
Running and Ruining America for the Benefit of China
AIM Column | By Cliff Kincaid | January 20, 2009Excerpts below, but complete article linked to Running and Ruining above:
Geithner’s “qualifications” include working for Henry Kissinger, elder statesman of the foreign policy establishment and now an adviser to corporations doing business in China, and serving as President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, where he played a role in the Wall Street and other bailouts. Kissinger recently made headlines on CNBC by proclaiming Obama the architect of a “New World Order” and praising Obama’s appointments in the financial realm. Everybody knew that he was talking about his student, Geithner.
Geithner’s “international respect” comes from Kissinger and other global players in such organizations as the Group of Thirty and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), which wield major influence over U.S. economic and foreign policy. Geithner is a member of both groups....
In this context, it is worth noting that corporate members of the CFR include ABC News, General Electric (parent of NBC News), News Corporation (parent of Fox News and the Wall Street Journal), and Time Warner (parent of CNN and Time). Veteran NBC newsman Tom Brokaw serves on the advisory board of the CFR journal Foreign Affairs. Jim Hoagland, an associate editor, chief foreign correspondent and weekly columnist for the Washington Post, is also on the Foreign Affairs advisory board....
Wall Street, which has backed Obama for years, has a vested interest in his success. Billionaire and Obama backer George Soros, convicted of insider trading in France, supports the Group of Thirty and his Soros Fund Management is a member of the exclusive “President’s Circle” of CFR funders. But the success of Obama’s financial and economic policies seems to depend on the cooperation of the Chinese Communists.
In one of the few stories to capture the essence of what is happening with the Geithner appointment, William Pesek of Bloomberg wrote an article appearing in the China Post under the headline, “China Will Be Happy With Geithner.”...
An article in the new Foreign Affairs by Roger Altman, a U.S. Deputy Treasury Secretary under Clinton, is quite blunt, noting that the financial crisis has enabled China to “achieve a stronger relative global position” and that the communist regime now has “the opportunity to solidify its strategic advantages.” In other words, we seem to be at their mercy.
From the Obama perspective, the only way out is to go further into debt and beg for more money, mainly from the Chinese but also from the oil-rich Arabs.
Geithner, who speaks Chinese and lived in China, seems to be the perfect man for this job. In fact, he is probably better for the job than Paulson, who traveled to China 70 times and even had personal investments in the country. His former firm, Goldman Sachs, is the exclusive agent for certain Chinese securities transactions.
Whether the U.S. should be subservient to China in Kissinger’s “New World Order” is something that is not even being debated. It is just assumed as a fact of life. The options of reducing spending and debt and rebuilding the strength of the U.S. dollar are rarely considered. Except for some House conservatives, who have introduced the Economic Recovery and Middle-Class Tax Relief Act, the Republican Party in the Congress is either in disarray or rooting for a version of the Obama approach....
AIG is perhaps the most interesting. This insurance giant was bailed out with taxpayer dollars after Paulson let Lehman Brothers go under. Geithner was a key player in the AIG bailout. His former boss, Henry Kissinger, was chairman of AIG’s International Advisory Board. Other members of the board represent Chinese and Arab financial interests.
But there was another reason that AIG had to be saved. The New York Times reported in a controversial September 27, 2008, article by Gretchen Morgenson that AIG’s collapse could have cost Paulson’s old firm, Goldman Sachs, as much as $20 billion.
AIG’s taxpayer bailout has now reached $150 billion. We are supposed to be reassured, however, by the fact that Geithner’s New York Federal Reserve on January 16 named three trustees to oversee the U.S. government’s nearly 80 percent equity stake in the insurer. One of those trustees is Jill Considine, who has been a member of the Group of Thirty as well as the CFR.
With Change like this, Bush looks great. Forgot, he isn't an elite, articulate, Socialist that the media selected.

A Real Speech with Principle by a Real American
A Time for Choosing (aka "The Speech")
Air date 27 October 1964, Los Angeles, CA
This is the issue of this election: whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capitol can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.
You and I are told increasingly we have to choose between a left or right. Well I'd like to suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There's only an up or down: [up] man's old -- old-aged dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order, or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. And regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course....
Well, I, for one, resent it when a representative of the people refers to you and me, the free men and women of this country, as "the masses." This is a term we haven't applied to ourselves in America. But beyond that, "the full power of centralized government" -- this was the very thing the Founding Fathers sought to minimize. They knew that governments don't control things. A government can't control the economy without controlling people. And they know when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. They also knew, those Founding Fathers, that outside of its legitimate functions, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector of the economy....
Yet anytime you and I question the schemes of the do-gooders, we're denounced as being against their humanitarian goals. They say we're always "against" things -- we're never "for" anything.
Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so....
No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. So, governments' programs, once launched, never disappear.
Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth....
Now it doesn't require expropriation or confiscation of private property or business to impose socialism on a people. What does it mean whether you hold the deed to the -- or the title to your business or property if the government holds the power of life and death over that business or property? And such machinery already exists. The government can find some charge to bring against any concern it chooses to prosecute. Every businessman has his own tale of harassment. Somewhere a perversion has taken place. Our natural, unalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation of government, and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment.
Our Democratic opponents seem unwilling to debate these issues. They want to make you and I believe that this is a contest between two men -- that we're to choose just between two personalities....
While reflecting on these solid principles from 1964, you might think that they will return and things really haven't changed. But you might keep in mind the following:
1. The House is headed by Speaker Pelosi. with a substantial Liberal margin.
2. The Senate is headed by Senate Reid with a substantial Liberal margin.
3. The Courts are Liberal except there is a balanced/Liberal leaning Supreme Court which is controlled by a single vote in many cases.
4. The New President is extremely Liberal and doesn't respect the Constitution as shown by not confirming his qualification to be President.
5. The Media is controlled by Liberals and will become more aggressive, if possible.
6. Liberal Soros controls the Money in both Political Parties and is a proponent of World (Soros) Government, free drugs, and open borders.
7. The Constitution is being ignored by "President" Obama and will continue to be ignored now that HE is the enforcement vehicle.
8. Foreign Governments (Enemies) see this as an opportunity through the U.N. to reduce the influence of the U.S., and the Liberals chambers agree.
9. Illegal Immigration and Acorn Type Tactics have dissolved the credibility of Elections for Citizens of the United States of America. They will now just be legalized to remove the Illegal and open the flood gates to the masses.
10. The biggest problem of all is that there is no Conservative Champion that has the belief, vision, and ability to educate the uninformed and misinformed people of this Great Country to the value and importance of limited government and individual responsibility for their freedom and future, as Ronald Reagan believed and communicated.
'"the full power of centralized government" -- this was the very thing the Founding Fathers sought to minimize.'
Have we finally lost the vision and wisdom of the Founding Fathers in spite of all the evidence and greatness The United States of America has demonstrated to The World.
Events like today certainly support that we have.

Geithner, The Real Bailout Czar
Special Report: The Obama Era Begins by Jonathan Hoenig (Author Archive)
from Smartmoney.com
The Real Problem with Geithner for Treasury
The Real Bailout Czar
In an age of bailouts, Geithner is the original Bailout Czar. It was Geithner, after all, who was the instrumental figure in arranging JP Morgan’s (JPM: 22.82, -1.52, -6.24%) takeover of Bear Stearns, a deal in which $29 billion of taxpayer money was pledged as a backstop against illiquid and toxic assets.
It wasn’t Hank Paulson, but rather Tim Geithner who put together the plan to have the government rescue AIG, to the tune of $85 billion and growing.
It has been widely noted Geithner was in favor of stepping in with taxpayer dollars to save Lehman Brothers. I guess it’s pretty easy to spend taxpayer dollars when you aren’t even paying your own taxes.
If you are unfamiliar with Geithner, simply go the Federal Reserve’s web site to see a line-item balance sheet of his work: billions of tax dollars for AIG, Bear Stearns (look for “Maiden Lane LLC”; it’s the corporation created for Bear Stearns’s liquidation), commercial money markets and loans to primary dealers.
Maybe the Czar that got us in this mess can get us out. Not likely, but maybe he can switch the blame to Bush.
Geithner fits the Obama Profile, Reward Failure.

More Socialism--Nationalize Banks
The plan -- which recommends limiting the size of banks, setting guidelines for executive pay and regulating hedge funds -- offers the first hint of the kind of changes to the financial system President-elect Barack Obama might push for in the coming weeks and months. Mr. Obama has pledged to present a comprehensive series of changes to prevent a repeat of the current financial crisis before world leaders gather in London for a major economic summit in April.
The report was issued by the Group of 30, an organization of international economists and policy makers. But the recommendations were immediately seen by observers as a building block to an Obama plan because the lead author is Paul Volcker, Federal Reserve chairman during the Carter and Reagan administrations, who will serve as a special Obama White House adviser.
Part of Mr. Volcker's role is to help mastermind what could ultimately be the biggest overhaul of the U.S. financial system in decades. He said he would press the new administration to consider the measures, "but it's up to the administration to decide what they want to do."
The proposal offers 18 major recommendations that would insert government regulators into the board rooms of financial institutions as never before. The plan recommends vastly increased oversight of major banks, going as far as to recommend the end of an era of mega-banks, whose size makes their failure potentially catastrophic to the global financial system. To limit their size and scope, banks, the document states, should be prohibited from managing hedge funds or private equity funds.
If you want to know who is behind this program, take a look at the Group of 30.

Geitner and His Connections
As we have pointed out, major media companies such as GE (parent of NBC News) and the Washington Post Company have their own connections to Geithner through their own officials and board members. They have a conflict of interest that will never be reported by the news organizations themselves.The real story, which can only emerge through talk radio and alternative media, is that Geithner has very powerful political and financial connections, not only to the media but the banking interests and lobbies that try to orchestrate U.S. policy behind the scenes.
The President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the Chinese-speaking Geithner is an associate of Henry Kissinger who can be counted on to convince the Chinese Communists to continue to buy the U.S. debt and finance Obama’s massive expansion of federal government power. That is why Obama and his fellow Democrats are putting so much faith in him.
As Henry Kissinger recently put it, when he was celebrating U.S.-China relations on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, Obama’s mission is to usher in a “New World Order.” He forgot to mention, of course, that it is a China-dominated New World Order in which the U.S. has become a subsidiary of China Inc....
It also turns out that Geithner’s father, Peter F. Geithner, serves on the board with Kissinger of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations. This is the group that rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange, celebrating Chinese investments in the U.S. economy. In another interesting connection, it turns out that Peter F. Geithner was with the Ford Foundation and oversaw the work of Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, developing what are called microfinance programs in Indonesia....
It doesn’t take much digging. For anybody in the dark about this, please consult and closely study his bio. Geithner is a wheeler-dealer for powerful special interests.
If you examine the nature of the “Group of Thirty,” an affiliation which appears at the bottom of his biography, right after his Council on Foreign Relations membership, you will quickly learn that the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank is an associate of the governor of the Chinese central bank through this mysterious organization of bankers and other top current and former officials from various countries. You will notice that other Obama nominees and associates are members, including Paul Volcker and Lawrence Summers.
Meets all the standard B..HO requirements. Corrupt, powerful, and obligated.
Check out the "Group of Thirty."

Geithner Corruption Qualifications
Why Are the Media Protecting Geithner?
AIM Column | By Cliff Kincaid | January 14, 2009
Our media have quickly adopted the new party line. The NBC Nightly News dutifully reported Geithner’s “honest mistakes” in the graphic it showed on Tuesday night in a story about the serious tax problems. Officially, the Obama team calls them “tax concerns.” But it’s nothing we are supposed to be concerned about, even though he is going to be in charge of the federal department with jurisdiction over the IRS.
There were some holes in the brief NBC News story, which followed a more serious report about cold weather possibly threatening the celebratory atmosphere surrounding Obama’s inauguration. Reporter Kelly O’Donnell’s story failed to disclose that Jeffrey Immelt, chairman and chief executive officer of NBC parent company General Electric (GE), is on the board of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, whose president is Timothy Geithner.
It is also interesting to note that a subsidiary of GE, GE Capital, is getting some of the federal bailout money that Geithner, if he is confirmed, will have a role in managing. Conflict of interest, anyone?
Geithner meets the qualification for the B.. HO Society. You have to have committed enough corruption to be dependent on The Emperor for protection, thus creating an unconditional loyalty to B..HO, not the people of the United States of America. Ever heard of Impeached Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich? Guess who crossed B..HO? Wonder what they have on Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald? Good thing he indited Gov. Blagojevich before exposing B.. HO., or did he? That certainly improved Patrick Fitzgerald's negotiation position, until Eric Holder is sworn in. Wouldn't it be appropriate if Eric Holder isn't confirmed and Fitzgerald is nominated to replace him.
Straight out of the Chicago Playbook. Isn't our Changed Government going to be fun and predictable, but so sad for the U.S.A. B.. HO is running a training class for the less competent Socialist Governments out there. After his coup, the U.S. could have the purest, most corrupt Socialist Government in the world.
Now that's Change you can count on!

Soros the Master, B.H. Obama the Emperor?
Soros Flunky Runs Obama’s Pro-U.N. Policy
AIM Column | By Cliff Kincaid | January 11, 2009
Soros, Sandy Burgler, John Podesta, Citigroup, and Swartz. (Wonder if Schwartz is a relative of Soros since his name was originally Schwartz). If these are some of the associates of BHO, Emperor Elect, just imagine the power of Master Soros when BHO becomes the Designated Emperor, legal or not.The Berger associate, Eric. P. Schwartz, is the executive director of the U.S. Connect Fund and represents several liberal and leftist foundations, including and most notably the Open Society Institute of financial hedge-fund operator George Soros. Soros is considered by some the virtual owner of the Democratic Party, having contributed lavishly to the party, its causes and candidates, including Obama. He personally contributed $50,000, the maximum allowed, to the Obama inauguration....
Soros, who backed Obama during the presidential campaign, is a well-known advocate of a “New World Order” in which the U.S. refuses to act unilaterally in its own interests but works through international organizations such as the U.N. on foreign policy matters. Critics note that such an approach gives the U.N. and other nations a veto over what the U.S. can do militarily.
A convicted inside trader whose currency manipulations have been known to threaten national governments and currencies, he testified on November 13, 2008, before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform about the risks posed by the hedge funds that he and other billionaires operate. In addition to the Democratic Party, his financial fingerprints are all over leftist, “progressive” and news media organizations.
The Connect U.S. Fund is funded by Soros’s Open Society Institute and other liberal foundations and provides grants to pro-U.N. groups around the country. These groups, which provide the appearance of public support for more U.S. involvement in the U.N., were involved in a January 10 national conference call to promote a “Responsible U. S. Global Engagement” agenda for the Obama Administration. They are releasing a letter to Obama this week urging close cooperation with the U.N. on such issues as human rights, climate change, arms control and foreign aid.
This is bound to find a favorable response, since the co-chair of the Obama-Biden Transition Project, John Podesta, a former Clinton chief of staff, comes from another Soros-funded group, the Center for American Progress.
While Soros contributed $50,000, his family contributed over $250,000 combined.
The Great America we know today is on the verge of becoming another socialist society which may never recover from the society Master Soros has created.
We can only pray that the Emperor gets some clothes.
God Bless America.
Market Meltdown
How does Clinton's Treasury secretary escape blame for the market meltdown?
Robert Rubin, the former Treasury Secretary in the Clinton administration, left his high-ranking position at Citigroup today dogged by criticism for his role in the bank’s ongoing financial trouble....This is an informative piece that covers other players and enactments. It's just that Rubin hasn't been held responsible as have the other players.
The stock market is at a five-year low. But amid the greatest financial panic since the Great Depression, the market for one asset stubbornly resists correction: the immaculate reputation of Robert Rubin, former Treasury secretary and pre-eminent economic wise man of the Democratic Party.

Carol M. Browner-Global Warming Czar- Socialist?
Obama climate czar has socialist ties
From Washington Times
Group sees 'global governance' as solution
Stephen Dinan (Contact)
Originally published 05:45 a.m., January 12, 2009, updated 05:45 a.m., January 12, 2009
Until last week, Carol M. Browner, President-elect Barack Obama's pick as global warming czar, was listed as one of 14 leaders of a socialist group's Commission for a Sustainable World Society, which calls for "global governance" and says rich countries must shrink their economies to address climate change....This doesn't surprise me, but it may or may not surprise you if you voted for a Socialist Leader. Transparency will be redefined just as marriage and illegal is being redefined.
Mrs. Browner ran the Environmental Protection Agency under President Clinton. Until she was tapped for the Obama administration, she was on the board of directors for the National Audubon Society, the League of Conservation Voters, the Center for American Progress and former Vice President Al Gore's Alliance for Climate Protection.
Don't forget Paul Volker and the G20.

More from B. Hussein Obama the Socialist?
Published in the New York Post on January 8, 2009
President-elect Barack Obama’s appointments to Homeland Security, the Justice Department and now the CIA indicate a virtual abandonment of the War on Terror.
Information you may have missed in the news (Liberal controlled propaganda machine) about B. Hussein the socialist, or "centrists as they are called today" and his centrist appointments.
