POPSFormer Secret Service Tell-All: Jimmy Carter a Fake, Phony, Liar Not surprising to me, but Reagan and Bush got the best reviews...the nicest. Read it and weep: http://www.northstarnational.com/2009/10/14/secret-service-agent-opens-window-private-lives-presidents/ Carter “didn’t want the police officers and agents looking at him or speaking to him when he went to the office,” explained an assistant White House usher. “The only time I saw a smile on Carter’s face was when the cameras were going,” one former agent told Kessler. After his presidency, Kessler reports that when Carter would stay at a townhouse maintained for former presidents in D.C., he would take down pictures of other presidents and put up more pictures of himself! “The Carters were the biggest liars in the world,” one agent told Kessler of the Carter era. Not surprising, liberals say they're for the common man; in an episode of Fringe maybe.

POPSObama, the Mortal "The conventional wisdom is that Obama made a tactical mistake by farming out his agenda to Congress and allowing himself to be pulled left by the doctrinaire liberals of the Democratic congressional leadership. But the idea of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi pulling Obama left is quite ridiculous. Where do you think he came from, this friend of Chávista ex-terrorist William Ayers, of PLO apologist Rashid Khalidi, of racialist inciter Jeremiah Wright?"

POPSObama, the Mortal "...All this while the administration was cutting backroom deals with every manner of special interest -- from drug companies to auto unions to doctors -- in which favors worth billions were quietly and opaquely exchanged. " Yes. Not all Americans are have been hood-wicked or are unaware that his "change" is beyond his ability to practically and Constitutionally implement.

POPSManson follower 'Squeaky' Fromme out of prison Fromme was granted parole in July 2008 and released "via good conduct time" after completing a 15-month sentence for unlawful escape from a federal correctional institution, according to the statement. That sentence was being served consecutively after a life sentence for threats against the president. She escaped from a female prison in Alderson, W.Va., on Dec. 23, 1987, and was recaptured about two miles away on Christmas Day after a massive search. She was sentenced to an additional 15 months in prison for the escape. Fromme had said she escaped from prison to be closer to Manson.

POPSSqueaky Fromme, set to marry conservative Ann Coulter Fromme promises the first thing she'll do when she leaves prison is to find a long flowery hippy dress that fits, get some new teeth, head out to the Burning Man Festival, and smoke a "big fat joint!" Fromme made headlines Monday by announcing her engagement to pundit Ann Coulter who is her legal sponsor and who she resides with while in the parole system. A November wedding is planned in San Francisco so Fromme can grab a quick visit with Charlie. Coulter surprised many fans by accepting the former cultist and Manson follower. but assured those interested that it was only because they both were single, lonely, and seeking some adventure.

POPSNow legal immunity for swine flu vaccine makers.
The last phoney Swine Flu Disaster The last time the US Government faced a new swine flu virus was in 1976. There was a national vaccination campaign in which thousands later filed claims contending they suffered side effects from the shots. This time, the government has taken steps to prevent any possible legal remedy should thousands of US citizens suffer severe complications as a result of being given untested vaccines. In 1976 President Gerald Ford, facing a difficult re-election campaign, was advised by the head of the CDC, David Sencer, to launch a mass national vaccination. As today with H1N1 Swine Flu, Sencer also used the scare of the alleged 1918 flu pandemic. Notably, some scientific researchers maintain that the deaths during the flu wave of 1918-1919, in the aftermath of the ghastly First World War, came not from any virus but from the governmental campaigns of mass vaccination against “Spanish Flu.” Interestingly, the Rockefeller University and Foundation was in t

The discussion was held following Ford�s recent receipt of the CIA inspector general�s now-infamous report informally known as the �Family Jewels.� It revealed hundreds of CIA indiscretions ranging from experimenting on soldiers and prisoners with illegal, hallucinogenic drugs to assassination plots against South American leftists.

POPSWe Operate With Impunity The inability of the Bush administration to see their arrogant attitude of moral superiority underlying their anything goes approach to national security is ridiculous! And right-wingers who would be outraged if other nations did the sorts of things we have done yet cannot bring themselves to have any questions about the Bush admin's actions need to wake up!

POPSScaremongers are still alive and kicking Lets make it clear. Any virus flu will gone in one week when treated; when untreated - in seven days. People dying from complications, not from virus infection itself. As higher temperature - as shorter disease and stronger immunity. Only sensible action is more strict following off hygienic rules.

POPSMichele Bachmann:Is Swine Flu A Coincidence? ( A Democrat Is President) http://www.thestar.com/living/article/625225 "Human outbreaks of swine flu – an illness caused by types of viruses that are typically endemic to pigs (hence the name) – can occur, but are typically rare. The last time there was major public concern over swine flu in the United States was in 1976, when a soldier at Fort Dix died and millions of Americans were immunized as a precaution." http://www.philly.com/philly/news/homepage/20090428_U_S___concerned__as_swine_flu_rages.html Check the source for some more Bachmann claims that are proved false...again.

POPSBrzezinski, Scowcroft: Obama shouldn't recognize Turkish killings of Armenians as ’genocide.’ ’If Obama uses the word Genocide, the Turkish response will be harsh and trigger a bitter breach in relations,’ the CSIS says --- The true Axis of Evil is forming.

POPS Governor Blagojevich Joins Jobless Ranks Today 6:15 p.m. Posted by Rex Huppke...Blagojevich to people: 'haven't let you down' Gov. Rod Blagojevich offered a short speech outside his Northwest Side home. “I love the people of Illinois today now more than I ever did before,” he said. “And the fight goes on.” “I’m going to keep fighting to clear my name,” he said. “I guess I’ll just have to wait for my day in court.” “Give me a chance so I can show you I haven’t let you down.” Blagojevich said he was "disappointed but not at all surprised" by the Senate’s decision to remove him from office.

POPSSome REAL Changes
Although people are saying that Obama is emphasizing experience over change, they overlook the fact that it in and of itself is a change. Here are the changes I'm excited about: 1. Expertise Over Loyalty Most recent presidents have surrounded themselves with yes-men and toadies. Obama is forsaking the insular model of the Bush Administration in favor of one that will certainly promote debate. This is VERY good for making realistic policy decisions. 2. Expertise over Ideology Thompson says this "doesn't make political sense." However, did it occur to him that the Defense Department is not an appropriate place to play politics? A military that is motivated by ideological concerns rather than strategic ones is exactly how we have gotten ourselves into destructive, counter-productive, and losing wars in the past. 3. Experience at all The Bush Administration went out of its way to disregard experts of all stripes. Finally, a President who values people who are good at what th

POPSPresidential First Dogs The last dog is of course, little Barney. I personally liked the First Cat Socks best, but I'm a cat person. I wonder what the new First Dog will be named? "Bark Obama", I heard. .:) Harry S. Truman & Feller The 33rd President once famously said, "You want a friend in Washington? Get a dog." Evidently he didn't care much for friends, as he regifted a cocker spaniel, given to him as an unsolicited Christmas present in 1947, to the White House physician. Dog lovers around the country assailed the President for surrendering Feller, who came to be known as The Unwanted Dog.

POPSThe Presidential Candidates and The "Experience Issue"
The line McCain’s been using “He’s Not Ready to Lead” is still viable – and should emphasize a discussion of Obama’s policies, not his job history—his radicalism, not his resume. Meanwhile, we should invite comparisons of Governor Palin’s experience with Obama’s: won’t the PTA connect more with middle class voters than “community organizer,” and property tax-cutting small town mayor count more than slippery State Senator who voted “present” a disquieting proportion of the time. In any event, both tickets now balance experience with youthful energy – but McCain is balancing it the right way, with the experience at the top. If Obama supporters now see an opening for attack in regard to Sarah Palin’s “lack” of experience, they will only succeed in bringing back to scrutiny Obama’s own leadership (in)experience. Let’s see that “Tale of the Tape” chart that Curt linked to by Jeff Emanuel, http://www.floppingaces.net/2008/08/30/palin-not-the-most-inexperienced/

POPSObama's family tree. Even in a democracy such as the type in the USA you can still find the same ruling families. Does it really matter who you vote for? Personally I dont think it does - but its nice to think you have a say.
