Another coincidence involving Tim Geithner and his dad:

During the early 1980s, Geithner’s father oversaw the Ford Foundation’s microfinance programs in Indonesia being developed by Ann Dunham Soetoro, President Barack Obama’s mother, and they met at least once.[17]

More connections (oldie, but goodie)....

....Obama’s longtime friend, Eric Whitaker, runs the Urban Health Initiative (UHI), which was founded as a means of connecting low-income patients with health clinics in their own communities.

The UHI was one of only 26 programs — out of 3,000 applications — to receive a slice of the $1 billion in taxpayer money from the executive’s “We Can’t Wait” initiative, which is aimed at spurring job growth via executive action, reported Keith Koffler at White House Dossier.

HHS has denied any White House involvement in the decision, but the president will have a tough time feigning surprise given his deep ties to the UHI:

Eric Whitaker runs the UHI, has known the president since his days at Harvard Law and occasionally vacations with the Obamas.

Michelle Obama launched the UHI while working as an executive at the University of Chicago Medical Center, which runs the program.

Valerie Jarrett, the president’s senior adviser, was the chairman of the University of Chicago Medical Center board of trustees until she resigned her post to join the White House.

David Axelrod, now-communications director for the Obama campaign, provided public relations services to the UHI after Michelle Obama recommended that he be hired in 2006.

Despite those deep ties, HHS stands by its process, describing the decision making as free from White House influence.

“Applications that met the basic eligibility requirements underwent a competitive, objective review,” an HHS spokesperson told White House Dossier.

Dossier noted that this is only the latest incident where “red flags” have been raised in the administration’s tangled relationship with the UHI.

A September report by The Daily Caller showed that Obama donor George Kaiser gave the UHI $10,000 in 2009 — the same year that Kaiser received the $535 million Department of Energy loan guarantee for Solyndra.

America has more corruption than most third-world countries. Banana republic.

They ...,. The Communists....have institutionalized much of their agenda.

This is a key phrase.

So thoroughly and consciously did the Communists "take over" the media, the schools, some unions, etc. that people coming up after the 50s often have absolutely no idea that they have been raised on a steady diet of Communist precepts. Their "ideas" are Communist ideas. These people in the "nomenklatura*" of our institutions are for the most part, Lenin's "useful idiots." However, some are true believers. Perhaps Obama, is possibly in the "Useful Idiot" category ... Classic example Debbie Wasserman Schultz. True believers? Valerie Jarrett, Axelrod, Hillary?

For example, prior to Roosevelt, many college instructors and professors were very conservative! What the Communists did, and brilliantly, was go "mainstream." To do this, they united themselves, the Socialists, and the Progressives in the Democrat Party.

*"nomenklatura" is the Soviet term for those top spots in an organization chart that form the actual structure of the entity. Who reports to whom? Who hires whom? Take those positions, and the whole organization works for the Communists, even though the actual workers may not realize it.

[Kenny Bunk]

A lot of people today do not know what a communist is.

Yeah, you said it a lot more economically than I -PING!

If the Republicans had brought this up during the 2008 campaign, Obama might have been defeated and the country could have been spared the last six years

99% of all problems in the last six years have been due to the GOP failing to stand up for America.

I’m not sure where it originated, a freeper sent the image to me. I’ll see what I can find out.

Interesting... the story’s on 19 - A by the way... that’s the first section of the the St. Petersburg Times afternoon paper. The Times bought the Independent years ago - then let it go out of business... absorbed it.

Check out # 46.

Thanks, Kenny Bunk.

It is how they work it...

Thank the public schools, and our universities for brainwashing our kids for 30-40 years. And don’t forget the feckless parents, who never bothered to audit their kids studies.

Do not waste your anger on the Left. Don't get mad, get even.

One of the reasons the Left thinks so little of the Right's mental abilities is the indisputable fact that it wasn't very hard for them to take over they key sectors of our national life.

Do not waste hatred on Obama, either. A far more worthy target is the GOP. We vote for Republicans on an entirely unfounded premise that they will fulfill their constitutional duties and represent our best interests. They do not.

There is no Conservative Party. Indeed we even fear starting one because we know that it will "split the Right, and we will be left with an even more dominant Democrat Party.

Perhaps we would be no worse off, but it is a hell of a risk. Back to square one. Take over local, county, and state government. If the Republic is to survive, the constitution probably has to be restored from the bottom up, or we will have top-down federal government forever.

He has abjectly apologized and "walked back" his remarks. He has said he was sorry ! Rudy, you old SOB, go away.

” Do not waste hatred on Obama, either. A far more worthy target is the GOP.”

I’m sure you have seen enough of my posts to know that I get this : )

” Take over local, county, and state government. If the Republic is to survive, the constitution probably has to be restored from the bottom up, or we will have top-down federal government forever.”

You are one smart FReeper, because that is exactly where we are at.

But....but he was THERE on 911. He has 911 on his office door. He changed his home address to 911. He drives a Porsche 911. ......

Every time I consider the recent history of the US, that simple realization scares.
