Man Arrested For Targeting Obama

The parade has started and the grand marshal is Saad Hussein of Egyptian decent. He was able to ship through the U.S. mail system a letter that was infected with HIV. It was only the second time ever that HIV –infected blood has been shipped through the U.S. mail system. A letter was received at the Illinois government office of President Obama; I guess he didn’t get the message that he became president. The envelope contained a letter with reddish stains (HIV-infected blood) and an admission ticket for the Grant Park party Obama did on election night. He suffers from mental illness and also told FBI agents that he is “very sick with HIV” and cut his finger so he could bleed on the letter. I believe there will be more to come, the question is: How many will we know about?

Do you know where $900 million of your money is going?

Do you know what $900 million of your money is being used for? The U.S. plans to offer more than $900 million to help rebuild Gaza after Israel’s invasion. Supposedly, the Obama administration made a promise to make Arab-Israeli peacemaking a priority. The problem is that the Gaza is controlled by Hamas, but the U.S. says that the money will be distributed through the U.N., as I call it “the Useless Nations”. Our new and wonderful Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, will attend in Egypt the March 2 Donors Conference to help get other countries to donate. It is unbelievable that $900 million of our money is going to rebuild the Gaza that was destroyed because Israel fired defended her self when Hamas fired rockets into Israel from the Gaza. We need the money on our end not thousands of miles away helping to rebuild the Gaza. This just proves that $900 million is only a number to Washington and when they need to ask for more money all they have to do is wave heir wand.

Travel Restriction To Cuba Will Be Eased

As mentioned a few weeks ago, the travel restrictions to Cuba will be loosened in the coming weeks. The bill is scheduled to override the restrictions imposed by President Bush in 2004 that limited family visits to once every three years for no more than 14 days and spending was capped at $50 per day. With the proposed new law, travel to Cuba will be permitted once a year with a cap of $150 per day for an unlimited duration of stay. The legislation will also change the definition of family to include first cousins, aunts and uncles. More money for castro and Co. Thank you Obama.

 

P.S. – Cuba will ask for the release of the “Los Cinco Espias” and the U.S. government will give in.

Dow Continues To Tumble

The Dow closed at the October 1997 level today - 7,114 points. This is just another reminder of how bad the economy is doing. I believe that in another 2 days, we will be seeing the Dow trading below 6,000 points of the first time since April 1997.

Pay Your Own Bills First Mr. President

Believe it or not, the Democratic National Committee has not paid the city of Chicago for its massive party at Grant Park the night Obama was elected President. In such dire economic times, the President of the United States has not paid the $1.74 million bill for the grand party. The Mayor of Chicago has said that he is confident the money will be paid because the campaign raised a lot of money and there was no shortage of money. There is no reason that would prevent the Obama campaign from paying back all of the expenses incurred on that historic night.

 

Doesn’t President Obama understand that the almost $2 million owed to the city of Chicago is a very large sum of money that can pay bills and salaries? So I guess the President is applying the same method many have to their housing crisis: spend it now, promise to pay it back, and then walk away from it. As I read somewhere, that kind of economics is called Dead-beat-onomics.

Caylee Anthony Clues

Investigators have said that evidence found in the woods where Caylee Anthony was found last December matches some items found in the house where she lived with her mother and grandparents. This is according to court documents release today. The same types of laundry bag, duct tape and plastic bag found in the woods were found in the house. The skull had duct tape similar to the one found in the house along with the laundry bag and plastic bag. Jose Baez, Casey Anthony’s lawyer, said that the brand of duct tape found in the Anthony household was the most widely sold in the U.S. Also, found in the house were heart-shaped stickers. This is key because a heart-shaped sticker was found on the duct tape that covered Caylee’s mouth. The comment was given whether the sticker on the duct tape was the same as the one found at the residence. More to follow.

Obama Signs Stimulus Bill

President Barrack Obama has signed the $787 billion "stimulus" bill into law. Let's see how much stimulation the bill will create.



One question for the President: Mr. Obama if our economy faced "irreversible catastrophic" economic damage without the passing of the bill, then why did you not sign it as early as last Friday/Saturday? I would imagine the earlier this bill becomes law the faster the money starts to flow through our economy. Was your President's Day weekend really that filled with activities that the bill could not be singed sooner?



I could imagine the headlines if Bush would have taken 3-4 days to sign this bill because he was enjoying his holiday weekend. "Bush Sets Priorities: Spends holiday weekend at ranch while millions struggle to stay afloat."

Alex Rodriguez Admits to Steroid Use

Over the weekend, Sports Illustrated said that Alex Rodriguez had tested positive in 2003 for steroid use. Rodriguez had no comment throughout the weekend. Today, he admitted to ESPN that he did use performance enhancing drugs during the 2001-2003 seasons. It is sad, but another great slugger and arguably one of the greatest baseball players of our time has tainted his legacy.



Although, Rodriguez benefited from the performance enhancing drugs, he will enter the Hall of Fame on his first ballot. He now is part of the big name group of cheaters that includes Rafael Palmiero, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, and Roger Clemens, but he is still different than all of them and stands to lose more than any of the others.



What’s the difference between ARod and the others? He admitted to doing steroids. Palmiero, Sosa, and McGwire all lied in Congress about their use of performance enhancing drugs. No one likes to be lied to and when the truth comes out, like in Palmiero’s case, it only adds salt to the wound already created. Bonds is facing perjury charges for lying in court in relation to his steroid use. And Clemens is not too far behind.



Why does Rodriguez stand to lose more than the others? Alex Rodriguez is still in his prime and has many more years left in MLB. He took the chance and admitted to using drugs instead of lying about it. All of the others mentioned above were at the tail end of their careers when their own steroid scandals broke out. I don’t agree with what ARod did, but I admire his honestly even though he stands to lose a lot.
