Obama says "The People" support
His Health Care take over...the polls seem to indicate that at best he has significantly less than half of the peoples support.
Obama displays lack of class AGAIN
For a head of government to visit the White House and not pose for photographers is rare. For a key ally to be left to his own devices while the President withdraws to have dinner in private was, until this week, unheard of. Yet that is how Binyamin Netanyahu was treated by President Obama on Tuesday night, according to Israeli reports on a trip viewed in Jerusalem as a humiliation.
After failing to extract a written promise of concessions on settlements, Mr Obama walked out of his meeting with Mr Netanyahu but invited him to stay at the White House, consult with advisers and “let me know if there is anything new”, a US congressman, who spoke to the Prime Minister, said.
Administrations Banking Scandal
Obama is telling banks that they cannot foreclose on the jobless, and the banks are only too eager to comply...of course they are being strong armed but there's another little secret Banks are carrying hundreds of billions of dollars of debt declaring this debt "interest accruing asset". These "Assets" are homes that people are living in, and who have stopped paying their mortgage payments on. These people are spending the money that they should be paying on their mortgage on other things, some necessary some very frivelous like nice cars and plasma TV's. These people have no interest in or motivation to ever pay their mortgage and the Administration is OK with this because that money they are spending is artificially inflating the economic reports....once again our government is encouraging people and banks to rob Peter to pay Paul. Just as they are doing with health care, stealing from our childrens children to wrest control from the people to the ruling elite. The banks will never recover the money owed on those homes, and will eventually have to settle for pennies on the dollar. There is another crash coming and it is when these invented "Assets".
On a side note, Government Motors is SO confident in the value of their products that for the first time in my life it costs more to lease a Car than it does to finance and pay for it out right. You see a Lease is designed to allow you to pay only for the amount of use you get from the vehicle then turn it in and the company then resells it making even more profit.....unfortunately GM is not confident that they can turn a profit if they have to take back a leased vehicle.... Makes one understand why Government is the worst way to run a business.

Green Zone: Movie Review
My lovely other half scored us a pair of free passes to a pre-screening of this Mat Damon movie, I liked the Bourne movies so figured what the heck...even if it was 35 miles away.
Overall if you just payed attention to the action is was an ok movie, definitely worth the price we paid for it. However while Hollywood didnt go too far out of its way to make the Regular Army look too bad, the only people depicted with any real honor were a single soldier, an old CIA operative and a woman reporter. The rest of the army were depicted with various subtle acts of savage treatment of peaceful well meaning Iraqi civilians who were only trying to help....or innocently standing around. Special Forces members however are depicted as unthinking amoral assassins that did the bidding of a civilian political appointee.
In the end this movie takes a handful of real events then ties it all together with a complete work of fiction to promote the message that Bush lied and that WMD were never actually an issue. It also promoted the idea that no other reason was involved in the second Iraqi war.
The movie ignores the little details like the Kurds in Norther Iraq who had WMD Chemical weapons used on them in the 1990s, and the fact that it was generally accepted by most western powers that there were WMD in Iraq and that there were Other reasons to go to war AND that Democrats in congress authorized the war......pretty lopsided story really.
Summation: If you are a hardcore lefty, you will like this. If you are a conspiracy nut who believes GWB manufactured the whole WMD issue out of nothing, this is a movie for you. If on the other hand you think that our Military is basically honorable, and that Special Forces units are more than lap dog assassins that work for political flunkies then skip the movie.
There was plenty to dislike about the Bush Administration, Hollywood doesn't need to manufacture fake issues.
