hello america! if i were looking in the dictionary for the words hypocrit, 2-faced, forked tongue, double standard &, liar, i wonder if obamas name would come up?
it really bothers me that this man (we still know so little about), has so much power to negatively influence the rest of my days as well as those of my sons & grandsons---not to mention the rest of america.
america, please call me stupid if you will but, be honest with yourself & tell me what this sounds like:::obama recently said on live tv that the bonuses of the corporate execs were "shameful" &, believe it or not, i agree with him. they are shameful. that being said, he is hosting a superbowl party to view a game that will be played with about 104 participants that are making outrageous money (not to include the coaches).
in these 'disasterous times', how can you be nit-picky about what the ceos make & not condemn what professional athletes earn? now, one can argue that sports is entertainment but, the bottom line is, it is still a business. no one gets involved with professional sports for free---even the cheerleaders get paid as do the ball & towel boys/girls &, you even have networks & beat writers that do nothing but cover sports. the refs & umps get paid. they even pay the grounds keepers.
entertainment yes but, nonetheless, a business &, a very lucrative one at that. the professional sports market is at the very top of the pile when it comes to "shameful" wages. &, don't forget about professional wrestling, or nascar, or bowling, or golf, or---let me do it this way...it would be easier for you to name a professional sport where they don't make any "shameful" money.
now, there are several reasons for professional sports being so successful &, number one on that list has to be ownership/management & their ability to compete in a tight market. even in these troubled economic times, they fill their different venues with fans, they continue to sell their memorabillia (look at all those arizonia cardinals jackets that popped up overnight), they continue to have their sponsors paying more each season (look at the cost of a 30 second commercil in this years superbowl) &, they continue to pay their employees those "shameful" amounts of money.
OBAMA, YOU SHOULD HAVE SELECTED SOME OF THEM FOR YOUR FINANCE TEAM, NOT TIMOTHY GEITHNER. PLUS, THEY PAY THEIR TAXES ON TIME.
professional sports is the only market that will pay unproven individuals multi-millions of dollars before their very first professional game based on that individuals performance at a lower level. &, that's a calculated risk the owners are willing to take---&, don't forget the millions raked in by the agents.
yes, sports is number one & then you have hollywood. yet, in spite of all of the above, obama sees fit to single out the execs. i guess this is all a part of his "fair" policy which, by his own actions proves it will be anything but fair.
more proof of this "fair" crap is barney franks singling out one bank for federal funds. selective fairness---that's a new one in washington...

SUPER THIS OBAMA
hello america! isn't it nice to know that in these very disasterous times, our president can host a superbowl party at our expense? & then, throw it in our face in the guise of bipatisanship.
i find it very insulting that obama can talk about the present problems we face so negatively & then go ahead & host this party. but, it's something i come to expect from a president that lives by the 'react to what i say-but don't live as i do' rule.
i know there are families out their that had to cancel their superbowl party plans because of the economy &/or losing their jobs. then there is the opposite end up the spectrum where there will be big parties. however, i don't think any of them would broadcast their party in the face of those that suddenly can't afford to have their own. for that matter, ask those people in kentucky that have had severe weather-related problems & can't even stay in their own homes.
as usual, obama talks a good game. he got bush to have congress release the $350 billion dolars of that $700 billion dollar bailout &, he has yet to help anyone with it. what's up with that obama?
you are becoming very paternized-that is: first,you spread fear in the american people by negatively telling them just how 'disasterous' these times are & that now is the time for action; then you speak of 'reaching across the isle'; then you get a bill passed in the house that does very little in addressing the actual needs of today; then you get back on the news speaking about 'reaching across the isle'; then you host this superbowl party to support your claim of 'reaching across the isle' but, in the mean time...
...you broke your own rules about hiring lobbyists, you broke your own rules about tranparency, you broke your own rules about having an open & honest administration, you broke your own rules about not having any 'earmarks' in this american recovery & reinvestment act (H.R.1).
&, while you were so busy breaking your own rules, you got mistress nancy pelosi & her crew to pass a bill giving you $816 billion (ON WHICH YOU SO CONVENIENTLY OMITTED TELLING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO PAY INTEREST ON THAT MONEY, MAKING IT ABOUT $1 TRILLION---yeah, i know, you forgot). banks are still not lending, homeowners are still losing their homes, jobs are still being lost by the thousands &, DID I MENTION THAT THAT $350 BILLION IS STILL CLUTCHED IN YOUR HAND NOT HELPING ANYBODY?

OBAMA, KEEP US SAFE
hello america! tell me, don't you feel safer with the actual closing of gitmo in the very near future? i mean, after all, obama took an oath on a bible to protect & defend us. you trusted him enough when he was campaigning & telling you he was going to close gitmo so, trust him to come up with a plan to dump them in your backyard.
one of the biggest problem with jailing gitmoees in america is the repercussions that will come from the protesting in the communities their lodged in. the other problem is the influence they will have on the weak-minded american prisoners, who will one day be released to walk our streets again...another problem is the costs to the taxpayer in these dire times but, you really don't have to worry too much about this: obama & his crew will just get congress to print out some more money so as to increase our debt.
obama & his crew want to cut the budget for some of our weapon systems. based on obamas thinking, we'd still be in the dark ages. what weapon systems do we have that don't work? if obama had of been president when man came up with the idea of bullet proof glass & armored limos, he wouldn't be able to go anywhere safely.
our ability to produce our weapon systems & use them is what has kept us free & he wants to trample on that. however, i agree that to nuke a country is a terible thing but, if that's what it takes for us to remain AMERICA then so be it.
must have been that second swearing in that wasn't widely attended where obama didn't have to swear to the protect & defend thing.
