The Talk Shows
Sunday, February 14th, 2010
Guests to be interviewed today on major television talk shows:
FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): National security adviser Jim Jones; Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.
MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Vice President Joe Biden.
FACE THE NATION (CBS): Biden.
THIS WEEK (ABC): Former Vice President Dick Cheney.
STATE OF THE UNION (CNN): Jones; Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz.
Just like the media tried to cover up dingy harry sabotaging the bipartisan(one of the only bills we were allowed input in) jobs bill that was cut from 85 billion to almost half with little of what was initially in the bipartisan bill,amazing spin.
You’re likely right about that, unless Rove got the word to Cheney and that’s a real possibility, because I heard this information on Fox’nFriends this morning, so the segment I saw of Biden was taped earlier.
How about if George Clooney films his next movie there, and takes Sean Penn with him? How about if the doctor on CNN's payroll opens a clinic there and hires locals to work it? How about if the "We are the World" crowd went to Haiti to record the song, instead of wherever they went?
How about if wealthy people open businesses in Haiti and hire Haitians, so they can have jobs and build houses with doors on them? Let's face it, folks, unless you create wealth in Haiti it's just another disaster area full of poor people waiting for the next round of assistance that comes too late. There's a real advantage to building codes, and a society wealthy enough to comply with robust building codes. Fewer people die in earthquakes when their home does not fall down on them. And all the rectal-cranial inversion syndrome in the world cannot shield people with good intentions from that truth.
And then Alisyn asks the viewers—should former presidents and vice presidents should just go away and be elder statesmen, go fly fishing and play with their grandchildren...but then we heard from Algore and Jimmah. (rolling eyes)
... and yes, it's still a dry heat.
I love it when you write things like this. Skewer the hypocrites on the left and it’s fun to read.
What has Cheney said? No one knows yet, right? so why in hell is Biden responding? Please answer me that. I’ve seen no actual reports of Cheney’s comments..did I miss them...need I ask....jeez
I would suspect that gaffe-laden-Biden taped these interviews (at WH insistence) so that any gaffes could be corrected before viewing.
Fro the next few months they took retribution on those who had taken advantage of them for so many years.
They ripped buildings apart by hand,5,500 people were killed in the first week alone,it was a time of joy, fear and the feeling that they were free at last.
26 years later the problem of not really knowing what democracy is, huge illiteracy problems and scaring all the wealth out of the country overnight still plagues the Haitians.
They remain a free country but have never had any leadership from anyone in the past 26 years and it continues to plague them. the US was responsible for flying Duvalier out but left a vacuum that has yet to be filled.
This just in Napolitano put a cut out of a heart on her jacket with a note to obammma which read I still have a heart on for you.
The real Snow job of 2010 is the lie, we’ve backed away from the abyss. This is like saying Global Warming caused the blizzard. Until we have a serious look at the financial earthquake that’s hit our financials we have no idea if we’ve backed away or were falling into the Abyss. We’ll never begin to rebuild our economy til we find out how much damage has been done. Right now we are attempting to build a skyscraper on a bamboo hut, it won’t work. The first place we have to look is at our Fannie. We just dumped another $400 Billion into it this yr w/another $400 Billion likely to be loaned in 6 mos for which every Corrupt Politician, redundancy alert; who voted for, needs to be sent packing.
Fannie/Freddie represent the most corrupt organizations in our gummit. Now that’s like saying they ar the smelliest outhouse on the planet. Once you pass a certain threshold they begin to all stink alike, although I still remember one outside of Salt Lake on a hot August day that does stand out and smelled just like Fannie Mae. The difference is the flies are ignoring Fannie like it don’t smell when it should be under the microscope for the entire world to see. Just like that outhouse, it won’t be pleasant yet you have to know what your facing before you can clean it out. There is just too much corruption in one spot and will expose so many powerful crooks in so many places, but someone needs to put this Country in front of themselves. Rather they want you to focus on evil bankers, not gummit corruption.
This week China threatened they’ll no longer buy Fannie/Freddie bonds w/o a complete US liquidity. This means there will be no money for them to lend for mortgages unless the gummit backs those bonds just like treasury notes. What the Chinese are saying is if the taxpayers don’t back Fannie’s $1.3 Trillion then they’re taking their yen elsewhere. This will stop the banks from being able to loan for homes forcing this economy deeper into the abyss. Just like the Fannie/Freddie collapse dragged Wall St into the first recession, unless someone stops playing politics and starts solving this disaster, America is going to make that outhouse smell like a bucket of roses. Course we have a Jobs Bill freshner so ignore Fannie.
While the WH is making fun of Gov Palin jotting some notes on her hand talking about real issues and concerns about getting out of this recession, the Chinese are threatening to let go of the rope. We have no idea how much of F/F paper is worthless or if all of its worthless. We have no clue if their $1.3 Trillion is worth a % or zero and neither does Wall St or the Chinese. Until we find if the hole is full or nearly empty nobody can make plans for the future, let alone write loans. Somebody needs to Man Up and value those loans for the entire world to see.
How did we get to this precipice? Pure unadulteraded corruption. In 1968 what was a branch of the Fed was turned into a publicly traded bank w/the backing of the gummit. This allowed them to do what no other banks could do as well as extend credit w/easier terms and backing. This was an open door for corruption as they could take risks w/our $$. Then came the Clinton low income housing bill to force banks to make loans people who couldn’t pay knowing that Fannie would be buying the worthless paper as if it was fully valued. This was like having a gold mine that had unlimited amounts of gold, problem was it was Fools Gold being sold as 99% pure. Nobody cared, so they mined it as fast as they could stuffing the banks like they were Fort Knox.
This wasn’t the worst of it, everybody who worked for Fannie was paid purely on how much “gold” they could buy. They were scooping it up like Dumbo in a peanut factory. The CEOs like Harold Raines were being paid 100s of millions in bonuses even though he was making one of the biggest Ponzis on Wall St, w/help from the District of Corruption. While obozo has been lecturing greedy bankers on receiving excessive pay, these top execs who’s company may lose $500 Billion this year are getting paid over a $million each. For that type of scratch they need to come clean to tell America exactly what the damages are and how bad this storm is going to be. Until they do that or are at least demanded to do that they shouldn’t receive a penny. We need to know how much shoveling its going to take.
Why is everyone afraid to tell the truth? Cause Fannie/Freddie are the first dominos in a potential financial Abyss. We need to find how bad it is to decide whether to do as the Chinese want and that is to dump the full $1.3 Trillion or let it go into bankruptcy. That will likely collapse a number of banks so where it stops nobody knows. It may be catastrophic or just mildly catastrophic, but until then we’ll never begin to dig ourselves out. After it does what it needs to do to start over, Fannie will either rebuild itself or another bank will take its place to fill the vacuum. This is why nobody wants to push this domino over since nobody wants to find how bad the damage will be, yet it has to be done and we need leaders who are willing to lead w/the courage to do it. This is no time for the weak at heart or playing politics w/not only the American people but the entire world. These are tough times for tough people and right now the only people that are being tough are the Chinese. They have embraced the Free Market and are receiving the benefits of that powerful engine. America is doing just the opposite and paying the price of corruption in bloated gummit.
We need powerful leaders in trying times which is what we’re lacking. We need leaders who will roll up their sleeves and begin to shovel the corruption out of the outhouse. They will get their hands dirty so we need guys who are not afraid of some muck on their hands and clothes as they clean out all the years of filth that has filled this hole. When its done they will not be the most popular men in the city, but they can go home knowing they may have saved this Country from the worst catastrophe in its histoir. Time to Man Up and start shoveling cause this outhouse is full and its 104 outside.
Pray for America’s Freedom
I adore Mr. Cheney! Great picture!!!
Speaking of GOP...
GOP responds to Obama’s Health Care Summit invite: No Thanks?
By: Susan Ferrechio

House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, issued a statement late Saturday in response to President Obama’s Friday invite to a bipartisan Health Care Summit at the White House.
Boehner and other Republican leaders are complaining that the event is simply political gamesmanship and that Obama is planning to have a health care deal finalized before anyone even sits down at the meeting, which is scheduled to take place on Feb. 25.
Here’s Boehner’s statement:
A productive bipartisan discussion should begin with a clean sheet of paper. We now know that instead of starting the ‘bipartisan’ health care ‘summit’ on Feb. 25 with a clean sheet of paper, the president and his party intend to arrive with a new bill written behind closed doors exclusively by Democrats — a backroom deal that will transform one-sixth of our nation’s economy and affect every family and small business in America. They will then engage a largely handpicked audience in a televised ‘dialogue’ according to a script they have largely pre-determined. They will do this as a precursor to embarking on a legislative course that Democratic congressional aides acknowledge has also been pre-determined — a partisan course that relies on parliamentary tricks to circumvent the will of the American people and engineer a pre-determined outcome. It doesn’t sound much like bipartisanship to me.
