POPSBig Oil Ready to Reap Gains from War On Iraq Just over 20 of Iraq's roughly 80 known oil fields have been fully or partially developed, and most of its production comes from just three giants, North and South Rumaila and Kirkuk. Because lots of the black gold is considered relatively easy to extract, oil experts estimate that exploration and development in Iraq costs $1.50 to $2.25 a barrel, compared with about $5 in Malaysia or $20 in Canada. Lawmakers and some oil officials, meanwhile, say the auction will give too much access to Iraq's oil resources to foreigners. Mr. Shahristani also has been called to appear before parliament for questioning about alleged corruption and mismanagement at the ministry.

POPSGM will continue to lobby government So basically GM has just turned into a giant money laundering system where our tax dollars go in and some come out into the coffers of the party in charge (and others go to the unions who then funnel them to the democrats no matter who is in charge). Otherwise is there any reason the company would spend money to 'lobby' it's own ownership?

POPSObama in L.A.: 'I've Made Some Mistakes - You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet' The celebrity dinner, which cost couples $30,400 to attend , was followed by a larger, lower-dollar concert that all told raised between $3 million and $4 million for the Democratic National Committee (DNC). "We didn't ask for the challenges that we face, but we don't shrink from them either," he said. "It won't be easy. There will be setbacks. It will take time." The president conceded that his administration "had our fits and starts." "I've made some mistakes, and I guarantee you I'll make some more," he said. But Obama said in promising to continue to work hard, "Los Angeles, you ain't seen nothing yet." President Obama was in a boastful mood Wednesday night, telling a star-studded crowd at a fundraising dinner that he "would put these first four months up against any prior administration since FDR."

POPSObama’s hidden bailout of General Electric Obama administration will be a profitable “financier” and “key partner.” Bush/Cheney were blasted for Halliburton contracts. If their intent was pure, this Gov't non-competitive collusion should be just as disgusting.

POPSLiberals and control For nearly two hundred years liberals have believed that the government can solve complex economic problems like the provision and fair distribution of goods and services. For two hundred years they have tested that belief and for two hundred years they have failed. How is it possible for human beings to stay fixated on an idea that has proven untenable time after time after time? The reason: control.

POPSAmerica the Lawless
That is what Obama wants to reverse. He is replacing the rule of law with the rule of men. This is a system that divides men into politically favored groups-the ones who are considered worthy of "empathy"-and politically unfavored groups, who can expect their rights to be trampled and ignored. All of this is being done in the name of helping out the "little guy"-but its real purpose is to make the little guy into the helpless pawn of government. It is a network of controls designed to prevent the little guy from rising and making a success of himself-and instead make him go hat in hand to a government official for every important need of his life, from buying a house to sending his kids to college, and pleading for "empathy." In practice, of course, this means a state ruled by anarchic populism and a petty corruption in which government favors are doled out according to one's political connections. If you want to see an example, look to life under socialist demagogues like Venezu

POPSShocker: Obama-Run General Motors To Start Outsourcing Car Manufacturing What this illustrates is that the problem with the domestic auto industry all along has been exorbitant labor costs. Or, put more bluntly, the problem has been the UAW. In order to become solvent going forward General Motors most find a cheaper labor pool so that it can compete with its foreign counterparts. That means getting away from the UAW in Mexico, among other places. In summary, we could have saved ourselves billions in bailouts and kept GM’s jobs in America if the Obama administration hadn’t insisted in essentially taking the company over so that the UAW’s labor contracts wouldn’t be re-negotiated in bankruptcy. Now that the UAW has been so artfully protected by Obama, GM has to go overseas to remain profitable. And if Obama blocks this move toward outsourcing (and he can’t be that stupid as even he knows he’s now tied to GM’s future), the company will collapse.

POPSGive Obama a Chance to Do What?
Well worth reading more--some of young Mr.Gostola's pts: When one says give Obama a chance, it means allowing climate change, mountaintop removal mining, environmental racism, and an addiction to oil, coal, nuclear power continues unchallenged. It means further political manipulation of science so corporations can make profit at the expense of Mother Earth and the biological material which populates it. When one says give Obama a chance, it means ICE raids. It means government secrecy and lack of transparency. It means a vicious erosion of civil liberties and constitutional rights continues. When one says give Obama a chance, it means there will be one more online town hall meeting where the legalization of marijuana is a top question and it means that one more town hall meeting will be another time when Obama scoffs and patronizes tens of thousands of Americans. It means the war on drugs continues. When one says give Obama a chance, it means our nation’s “pay or die” health

POPSGovernment To Set All Salaries at Bailout Companies And while Timmy G might have problems running TurboTax and figuring out what he has to pay - aren't you just thrilled that he will be setting the pay of every single person in every single company with a penny of bailout money.

POPS'MBA graduates led the world into recession' If these business leaders were not able to spot the flaws in the businesses they were running, one has to look into the matter of what business and management schools had been teaching them. The schools promoted a quasi-scientific approach to business, sermonizing that everything could be nailed down in a textbook, and encouraged students to believe that running a company could be mastered by anyone. The entire private-equity industry is founded on that principle. And also, all the intellectual tools that led us into the financial meltdown were largely invented within academia. Complex models for pricing risk created the market for the options and derivatives contracts that have caused so much trouble in the past year.

POPSDo Not Let The ‘Cure’ Destroy Capitalism The government has overridden contracts and rewarded many of those whose poor decisions helped create the mess. It proposes to override even more contracts. As a result of the Treasury’s actions, we face further distorted decision-making as government ownership of big financial institutions threatens to substitute political agendas for business judgments in running these companies. While such dramatic measures may be expedient, they are likely to have serious adverse consequences. These problems are symptomatic of three basic flaws in the current approach to the crisis. They are an overly broad diagnosis of the problem, a misconception that market failures are readily overcome by government solutions and a failure to focus on the long-run costs of current actions. The rush to “solve” the problems of the crisis has opened the door to government actions on many fronts. Many of these have little or nothing to do with the crisis or its causes.
