Release Guantanamo Terrorists in the United States?!

Plans are being made to relocate Muslims from China's Uyghur community, presently held in Guantanamo, to the Washington suburbs once lingering legal, logistical and political details are resolved, government officials said last week. Others may be moved to New York City, and held for trials or soon released. Consideration is being given to enrolling them in Welfare, and getting them on the unemployment roles.

Some lawmakers and counter-terror officials worry about terrorists in the United States. The Uyghurs were trained at an Afghan camp before 9/11, though the "widespread belief" is they were focused on fighting the Communist Chinese, not attacking America. None the less, you are dealing with people who trained in and participated in violent activities - people who have associated with Al Qaeda! One of them, Abdul Haq, is listed as a member of Osama Bin Laden's Shura Council - Al Qaeda's board of directors.

A "comprehensive" surveillance watch by FBI and Homeland Security agents will be activated once the Uyghurs arrive, government officials confirmed – I suppose that should make us feel good. I wonder if anyone on that detail will think about the CIA documents recently released and judged in the media… There is no set release date yet, but agencies are prepared to move the Uyghurs any time President Obama green-lights their transfer.

If the Democratic representatives in Washington DC all believe these guys, and most of the other 200+ enemy combatants detained in Cuba, are really just misguided, misunderstood, have been wronged for trying to kill Americans, and should be reformed here in America … perhaps they should divide them all up amongst themselves! I’m sure there’s room in the White House for a bunch – where Obama and his mama-in-law can keep watch on some of the tougher ones, maybe get them into gardening and such!?! I hear he was quite a Community Organizer!!

Obama Budget "Savings"

The $17 billion in budget “savings” proudly announced by the administration amounts to roughly 0.5% of the more than $3.5 trillion in spending approved for next year by the Obama Administration. $17 billion in additional budget cuts for the coming fiscal year – this is the sum of Mr. Obama’s promised “line by line” scrubbing of the federal budget.
“This is a product of going through the budget line-by-line,” as Mr. Obama promised since his presidential campaign, said Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff. “It’s a constant, cumulative effort on this front to find savings and find reductions.”
The $17 billion would be saved through terminating or reducing 121 federal programs, ranging from just $632,000 to eliminate the post of an attaché for the Education Department in the American embassy in Paris to $142 million for cleaning up abandoned mines … of course, they also include, as pointed out in a USA Today report, "Federal programs deemed ineffective by President Obama and targeted for elimination in his proposed budget include five that stand to get about $500 million in economic stimulus funds, documents show." !! Obama givith and taketh away - LOL!
In January …The Obama administration asked the military's Joint Chiefs of Staff to cut the Pentagon's budget request for the fiscal year 2010 by more than 10 percent -- about $55 billion. More than half of the $17 billion “savings” administration officials say will come from defense programs! The Washington Times reports Obama "has targeted the Department of Defense to absorb more than 80 percent of the cuts he has proposed in next year's budget for discretionary programs." The Defense Department "will take a $9.4 billion hit, constituting 82 percent of the cuts." Among Mr. Gates’ targets as part of the “savings” are future staffing of the forces, missile defense programs, the Army’s Future Combat Systems, Navy shipbuilding, and the advanced F-22 fighter jets. More specifically, the cuts include: Recruiting and retention adjustments: $6.24 billion; Future combat systems of manned ground vehicles: $2.98 billion; F-22 raptor fighter aircraft: $2.9 billion; Transformational satellite: $768 million; Joint strike fighter alternate engine: $465 million.

Remember, all this $17 billion in budget savings accounts for ONLY 0.5% of the more than $3.5 trillion in spending approved for next year by the Obama Administration!

White House snubs National Day of Prayer

President Obama is removing any connection between the White House and himself from the National Day of Prayer by canceling a formal early morning service and not attending a Catholic prayer breakfast Friday, where some 1300 people will be in attendance. (For this year's prayer breakfast, Catholic members of the administration have been invited. They include Vice President Joseph R. Biden, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano... None has responded, Mr. Cella said.)

The only thing Mr. Obama will do for the National Day of Prayer, which is May 7th, is sign a proclamation honoring the day - as previous Presidents have done. National Day of Prayer originated in 1952 when Congress set aside the first Thursday in May for the observance. Shirley Dobson, chairwoman of the National Day of Prayer Committee, said the group was "disappointed in the lack of participation by the Obama administration."

President George Bush invited Christian and Jewish leaders to the White House East Room, where he would usually give a short speech and several leaders offered prayers.

"For those of us who have our doubts about Obama's faith, no, we did not expect him to have the service," said Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America. "But as president, he should put his own lack of faith aside and live up to the office."

Referencing a remark the president made at a recent press conference in Turkey that Americans "do not consider ourselves a Christian nation," she added: "That was projecting his own beliefs, but not reflecting what the majority of Americans feel. It's almost like Obama is trying to remake America into his own image. This is not a rejection of Shirley Dobson; it's a rejection of the concept that America is a spiritual nation and its foundation is Judeo-Christian."

Remember the White House support of Easter? Obama’s administration ensured about 110 same-sex families with kids were expressly invited through gay and lesbian organizations. While lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender parents first attended the roll in 2006, this is the first time, the Family Equality Council says, the White House specifically encouraged them to participate in this tradition. Mr.Obama and his family attended St. John's Church on Easter Sunday. It was the first public worship services for the president since he took office. Why is it so hard for him to find a church? Where is his Rev Wright?!? He attended that church, faithfully, for decades!?!

Recall also, that for Passover Mr. Obama and a collection of guests celebrated Thursday what White House officials believe to be the first Passover Seder dinner hosted by an American president.

He prayed openly during the campaign, with many and diverse groups – so public prayer wasn’t an issue …

What is with this White House’s snub of the National Day of Prayer??

NYC Sight-seeing, Photo-op Flyover!!

How Egregious!! Who approved the sight-seeing flyover?!
Who was on the flight - it was not empty!?!

Most Wanted Terrorists List Updated

The FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists list was updated .. and you won't believe who now sits at the #3 Most Wanted position!!!
First on the list is Osama Bin Ladin, wanted for the death of thousands of people.
Second is Adam Yahiye Gadahn, he’s wanted for treason, and providing material support to Al Qaeda.
The third on the list is the newest addition ...he is the first domestic suspect ever placed on the list – and isn’t accused of physically harming or killing anyone. Daniel Andreas San Diego is wanted in connection with two bombings in the northern California area, in 2003!
F.B.I. Special Agent Joe Schadler says that Mr. San Diego “advocated violence in connection with animal rights issues,”
The F.B.I.’s character sketch also notes that he “is skilled at sailing” and “has worked as a computer network specialist and with the operating system Linux.”

Too Big to Fail!

The Federal Reserve recently said the government is prepared to rescue any of the banks that underwent "stress tests" and were deemed vulnerable if the recession worsened sharply.The Fed has now said the 19 companies that hold one-half of the loans in the U.S. banking system won't be allowed to fail — even if they "fared poorly on the stress tests." That reinforces the Fed's view that major financial firms are "too big to fail," and that the government must do whatever is necessary to save them, said former Fed examiner Mark Williams.In extreme cases, a rescue could include a government-backed merger, similar to what regulators did in helping Bank of America to buy Merrill Lynch and JPMorgan Chase & Co. to buy Bear Stearns. Critics continue to say that policy has put taxpayer money at risk , and could lead to giving banks billions MORE in government bailouts and guarantees.The federal government has broken up companies before, through the antitrust laws. What ever happened to free markets, free enterprise and capitalism??!

Remember the Campaign Slogan?

Lest we forget, Barack Obama's campaign slogan was, "Change you can believe in."Are we seeeing and getting the kind of change YOU wanted, and believe in??How many Clinton era staffers are working in the Obama administration? How much time, effort and money is being wasted looking back rather than forward??Government "leaders" like Pelosi, Dodd, Reid, Frank and Geithner ... are they providing the proper council to the President ... and helping us get the promised "Change you can believe in"????

Obama Forcing Chrysler into Bankruptcy

President Obama's unprecedented move to force Chrysler into bankruptcy leads the New York Times to call it "yet another extraordinary intervention into private industry by the federal government." The new Obama "lease" on Chrysler's future will cost US taxpayers $3.3 billion in up-front bankruptcy bridge financing and another $4.5 billion in exit financing. That up-front financing may not last if bankruptcy proceedings drag out. Under the deal, Chrysler won't beginning selling Fiat-designed cars until 2011. The company will the United Auto Workers holding a 55 percent stake in the firm!! The government would appoint four of the members of a new six-member board of directors, and Fiat would start with a 20 percent share - and would be unable to acquire majority ownership until all outstanding US loans were repaid. Many analysts are wondering how Chrysler would function in the short-run. "We've never done this in America — to have a union having majority control," Holstein said. "If (current CEO) Nardelli is out and Fiat's not in management control, who is running the company? The US government? The Canadians? Is it a labor and government coalition? I mean this is brand new territory and historically governments and unions don't do well managing companies." Don't forget about General Motors, Obama will be forcing deeper cuts there while the government becomes the controlling shareholder. He will also be overseeing the radical downsizing of G.M.’s work force as he is trying to reverse rising unemployment. Didn't he just read off the teleprompters that he has been busy creating hundreds of thousands of new jobs??!! Sounds to me like this administration continues to destroy economic value all over this coutry of OURS!!
