POPSI CALL AS I SEE IT The Obama Administration has sent every American out on a limb, and I don't think it matters to him one way or another. It's all about him and his agenda.......

POPSFrom the Brits: " Do Something" Even our "European allies" see it. Obama is weak and indecisive. Our enemies are also noticing. Note they are surging in both Iraq and Afghanistan. The death of our troops from the day Gen McChristal requested more troops, are solely the fault of Obama's dithering. But then, he is not really dithering. This trojan horse, borm a muslim in a muslim country, groomed and educated with muslim money, and then stealthily placed and financially supported by our enemies, is in place to destroy us. Obama will do everything he can to destroy Amerrica financially, and militarily. Now that he has access to our national secrets, watch for the covers of our clandestine agents to be blown, one by one.

POPSHalf of working age adults in this Illinois town unemployed What this politically correct piece doesn't say is the town is probably mostly black. So what does this tell you? Obama sprung from Illinois politics. Beyond any doubt, this town likely voted for Obama. How do you like that "hope and change" Pembroke citizens?? Welcome to Obama's Amerika.

POPSDeadly Drugs (Infomation is Beautiful) Last week, the government has sacked its most senior drugs advisor, Dr Professor Nutt, after he claimed cannabis was no more harmful than alcohol. And that horse-riding was riskier than taking ecstasy.

POPSZenyatta Simply Perfect in Classic and she did so in front of a raucous crowd of 58,825 on Saturday at Santa Anita Park. And she did it in spectacular fashion in her first career start against males, taking her typical position at the back of the field under Racing Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith and charging down the stretch with authority"her stride lengthening and becoming more powerful with every kick"to inhale the leaders and hit the finish line first, just as she did in each one of the previous 13 starts of her brilliant career. “There are tears coming to my eyes,” said trainer John Shirreffs, who won the Breeders’ Cup Ladies' Classic (G1) last year with Zenyatta and this year’s Ladies' Classic on Friday with Life Is Sweet, becoming the first trainer to achieve the rare double in the same season. “I can’t believe it. “She is a great, great filly. She is all heart. The way the crowd took to her was just amazing. They cheered for her; they clapped for her; they love her.

POPSFriesian Horses Friesians are one (#1, in my opinion) of the most magical and beautiful breeds of horse. If I had enough money, time energy, etc..., I would have 50 of them with plenty of beaches and forests and pastures and hills for them to run and play all day. And, I'd spend all of my time painting pictures and taking photos and movies of them to share with you!

POPSAnother Disgusting Photo Op by Obama My my, he must have had saluting lessons for this photo op. This is kind of like a Berlin speech during the campaign. While his indecision is causing our troops to be killed in Afghanistan, he can still take time off from his golf game to suit up and practice saluting for a photo opportunity at the arrival of one of our brave soldiers whose death he is responsible for. Obama is truly loathsome.

POPSHistory-Making Edits, Before Photoshop While some people enjoy adding individuals to their images, others prefer to edit them out – as in the cases of these photographs of Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse-tung, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini respectively. In each of the first three photos there was a political compatriot who, after falling from favor, was removed entirely from the scene and thus erased from a part of history. In the final image, a horse handler was edited out to convey a greater sense of grandeur. Perhaps it is simply selective and subjective, but it seems strangely fitting in some way that most of the edits of of American heroes are additive while those of other infamous world leaders are subtractive – but who knows what other manipulations we have yet to catch.

POPSHiking Into History: England’s Ancient Ridgeway Trail More: The full 87 miles of the official Ridgeway National Trail can easily be divided into shorter segments, depending on time available. It can be cut more or less in half, by deciding to walk only the older, original western section, which passes all the great prehistoric sites. Day hikes, and half-days centered on the Uffington White Horse, or Wayland’s Smithy, or the Avebury Stone Circles, can easily be devised by studying the map. The trail’s excellent Web site (www.nationaltrail.co.uk/ridgeway) is full of advice, and possibilities for accommodations and meals.

POPSThe sex life of seahorses "Suddenly, two tiny silhouettes come together like a pair of knights on a chessboard. The seahorses greet each other with a nose-to-nose caress and, wrapping their tails around a single blade of grass, they begin a seductive dance, spiralling round and round each other. Blushes of orange and pink give away their emotions and, for a moment, the seahorses swim together, heads tucked down, tails entwined. A gentle humming and clicking from the male is the soundtrack to their flirting."

POPSThe dangers of Obama's dithering Having this weak president is actually increasing our dangers. But perhaps he is projecting weakness for this very purpose.... only a Trojan Horse would be so cunning.

POPSObama offers millions in muslim technology fund Yeah? Stupid. The results will be : a) 3/4 will be skimmed off by corrupt officials b) the rest will be spent on developing primitive tools to destroy us or prevent us from attacking them effectively. Please understand... muslims are incapable of building or creating anything. They only know how to destroy and kill.

POPSObama plays more golf in 9 mos. than Bush did in 3 years The reason I quit golfing was that it takes too long and detracts from other more important things. A round of golf takes nearly 4 hours. Not to mention driving range practice. Looks like Obama has a lot of time on his hands. Too bad our troops are depending on this bum for speedy decisions. The bum must be voting "present" again. Folks, in 2010 vote ALL the bums out of office. And in 2012 vote this bum and all his Mao-loving colleagues out too!

POPSWorld's Most Boring Man Takes Up Post As Human Anaesthetic Lipstick, who is also an unreliable witness at Employment Tribunals, was asked by staff at the infirmary if he would like to work there in a trial they were running, when it became apparent that he could put anything to sleep just by talking. Being the sort of person who loves and craves attention, Lipstick agreed, and off he went to bore folks into their pre-op slumbers. A former 'friend' and colleague of Lipstick's, Harry Geath, told reporters: "He's an extremely boring, irritating twat. Mind you, so am I" Reminds me of teachers and lecturers

POPSThe similarities are striking Give the trojan horse time and enough rope. Won't be long and he will start to believe "...if the President does it, then it's not illegal". Then he's nailed.

POPSThe Flip Flop is back Same old Kerry. He was for the war before he was against it. Kind of like our cowardly president votes "present" rather than take a stand.

POPS Charles Krauthammer :: Fox Wars only disburses more than $3 trillion every year but is extending its reach ever deeper into private industry -- finance, autos, soon health care and energy. Think twice before you run an ad on Fox. At first, there was little reaction from other media. Then on Thursday, the administration tried to make them complicit in an actual boycott of Fox. The Treasury Department made available Ken Feinberg, the executive pay czar, for interviews with the White House "pool" news organizations -- except Fox. The other networks admirably refused, saying they would not interview Feinberg unless Fox was permitted to as well. The administration backed down. This was an important defeat because there's a principle at stake here. While government can and should debate and criticize opposition voices, the current White House goes beyond that. It wants to delegitimize any significant dissent. The objective is no secret.
