Democrats agree to IMF money in U.S. war bill

That's just a sad headline.




WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrats in the U.S. Congress have reached a deal to boost support to the International Monetary Fund, lawmakers' aides said on Tuesday, a victory for President Barack Obama who pledged to help the lender assist countries in the global economic crisis.

The war funding measure will provide a $100 billion credit line to the IMF, increase the U.S. member contribution to the IMF by $8 billion and authorize the United States to back the IMF's plan to sell 400 tons (12.97 million ounces) of gold, said the aides, who declined further identification.

Obama had pleaded with the House of Representatives and the Senate to approve the provisions and the full funding package is expected to be completed in the coming days.


Isn't that special. While California is cutting 8 billion dollars out of its school budget, making radical cuts, shutting down 220 state parks, and might run completely out of money in 14 days, Obama is PLEADING with Congress to help out the IMF so they can continue to con developing countries and get them into debt slavery.

I still say FUCK OBAMA.

You are right. I've said it a few times, and now I'm ashamed of that and wish I could take it back.


It's easy enough to change the title if you really want to. Just log in, go back to the original post and hit "edit"...


It isn't my title to change. But even if you're referring to any of my previous posts, I don't do that -- it smacks too much of the kind of Orwellian "disappearing" of history that I hate. Nobody's perfect and we all do and say things we regret, but it's far better to keep the record straight, take responsibility for our own words and actions, admit it when we've been wrong, and move on from there.

Things are a lot less confusing that way.

Apologies. Reading the thread more carefully would have the thread would have corrected my error.

Well, I suppose someone has to agree with Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh.
The real issue is that there is extremely low likelihood that the speculations of the untrained, on a topic almost pathologically riddled by dynamic considerations and feedback effects, will offer anything new.

Whoa

Whoa, whoa... Obama's awful, but FMason9 might just be trying to keep hope alive.

The business-as-usual and no-CHANGE-we-can't-believe-it process sucks hard so far. But it's one step into a slightly-better paradigm.

Still, though, comparisons to Limbaugh and Hannity are indeed odious. I don't think any of the Obama-bashers here are going to serve any GOPosaur cause, even indirectly.

Well . . . I did see that someone used Lew Rockwell and Ron Paul as sources for their information . . . are my comparisons, then, so ill-founded? It's fine to have political differences, but the incendiary rhetoric used by the right wing becomes tiresome.

Quite the opposite. One of Obama's main roles is to manage the proper outrage of any populist movement and turn political energy into the sinkhole of conventional (Democratic in this case) party politics thusly rendering people helpless and diffused. He serves to disguise the problems all the while continuing on the same path.

At present the US is rapidly undergoing the worst theft from the people to big business in the history of the nation and austerity measures are moving forward as social services are being cut. Obama is on board with all of this.

From an e-mail I received:

Tool of the Rich

What part of Obama's speech in Cairo should give us hope for a new
relationship with the Islamic world? Rhetoric is just rhetoric when
actions contradict. Obama has become the new salesman for the American
royalty of rich power brokers and entitled elitists.

The significance of Obama's journey to the Middle East to give a
polished speech he began writing before his election is window dressing
and disingenuous. His destinations of Saudi Arabia and Egypt are the
cues to his lack of sincerity toward the Muslim world. He chose the two
most repressive regimes of the region to curry favor with the long
misunderstood and vilified people of Islamic faith. He spoke eloquently
about peace in Palestine and even dared to challenge Israel but his
failure to speak of the repression of Egypt's Mubarak and the Saudi
royal family makes his words hollow and hypocritical.

Progressives and liberals may want us to give Obama time but families
sending their sons and daughters off to the quagmires of Iraq and
Afghanistan war wonder when enough is enough after multiple deployments
of their loved ones. Yes, there is still two wars being waged in the
name of this nation and billions each month is being spent to fund them.
Billions that could be spent to "bail-out" the millions who have lost
jobs due to the handling of the phony economic crisis.

What goodwill is being gained by this nation when we continue to wage
illegal and immoral wars in nations of large Islamic populations? And
how do we stem the hatred toward Americans when we send drones into
Pakistan and make multiple mistakes in bombing the homes of innocent
civilians instead of the alleged enemy?

As expected the new deal of Obama has turned out to be the same old deal
of oligarchy, imperialism and nationalistic insanity. As expected Obama
has sold out to the self appointed "royalty" of America. The richest
families and multi-national corporations continue to wield the greatest
influence and power in this alleged democracy. Locally and nationally
special interests buy the elected political prostitutes while the poor
and diminishing middle class go begging for table scraps of the great
American dream.

While Obama speaks with a charisma not heard since JFK, like JFK he is
merely a tool of a corrupted system never meant to be about "we, the
people".

Yeah progressives, he's duping you and defusing your revolutionary fervor. Remember, all that progressive energy you used to such great effect during the past 8 years? No, doesn't ring a bell? Nevermind..

Obama taps anti-abortion activist to faith-based health post



Obama appointee Alexia Kelley on The O'Reilly Factor.

President Barack Obama has tapped an anti-abortion activist to a senior Health and Human Services "faith-based" position just a week after the murder of prominent abortion doctor George Tiller.

Alexia Kelley is executive director of Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good (CACG), and will head the Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships at the Department of Health and Human Services.

According to The American Prospect, a liberal magazine, "Kelley is a leading proponent of 'common ground' abortion reduction -- only CACG's common ground is at odds with that of Obama. While the administration favors reducing the need for abortion by reducing unintended pregnancies, Kelley has made clear that she seeks instead to reduce access to abortion."

Kelley's appointment appears yet more salient in lieu of the fact that President Obama has expanded the faith-based project of the executive branch to include public policy -- with an eye toward reducing the need for abortions.

But a Prospect blogger, Sarah Posner, points out that opposition to the nomination can be found simply in an argument that "reproductive health is a public health, not a religious issue."

"Obama finds himself now in the difficult position of having elevated the importance of religion to making policy, and having appointed a religious figure whose opinions on policy conflict with his," the blogger notes.

Catholics for Choice criticized the pick in a press release, Posner notes.

"The Department of Health and Human Services is responsible for providing and expanding access to key sexual and reproductive health services," the group said. "As such, we need those working in HHS to rely on evidence-based methods to reduce the need for abortion. We need them to believe in men's and women's capacity to make moral decisions about their own lives. Unfortunately, as seen from her work at CACG, Ms. Kelley does not fit the bill."

News of the announcement also comes as some liberals are questioning Sotomayor's pro-choice credentials. Her silence on the issue has drawn support from key figures on the right -- among them conservative activist Bill Donahue. Donahue has said he'll "quietly root" for Sotomayor.
