POPSA Backlash Against Obama's Budget LOBBYISTS PLAN PROTESTS So business is hitting hard on the theme that the budget will squeeze vitality out of the economy. Says Jay Timmons, head of government affairs at the National Association of Manufacturers: "They're taking a tremendous amount of money out of the private sector, which will hamper the ability of business to create and retain jobs." The American Petroleum Institute plans to battle Obama's proposals to reduce the industry's tax breaks through presentations to newspaper editorial boards and visits to Washington by top oil company executives and employees, plus drop-ins by ordinary shareholders.

Obama is accused of being friends (and supportive) of domestic terrorist, stuff that happen when he was eight years old -- and this is what we hear about for months and months... ...and this is the lead in to this week's McCain emails and automatic phone calls, which starts off with the false claim that Obama is friends with a terrorist. But this clip shows the Chief of McCain's transition team had been a lobbyist for Saddam Hussein! Amazing. Not just Republican success in shouting down opposition (or, trying to), making false claims, but their ability to hypocritically ignore their own actions -- which every time prove to be worse. Well...it's good they are not getting away with this stuff anymore, challenged by the Democratic Party more strongly, challenged by the Obama campaign and challenged by lots of people here -- there -- and where ever it pops up. At least we can be pretty sure that William Timmons won't ha

POPSMcCain Transition Chief Aided Saddam in Lobbying Effort His dealings on behalf of the deceased Iraqi leader stand in stark contrast to the views his current employer held at the time. John McCain strongly supported the 1991 military action against Iraq, and as recently as Sunday described Saddam Hussein as a one-time menace to the region who had "stated categorically that he would acquire weapons of mass destruction, and he would use them wherever he could."

POPSMcCain Transition Chief Aided Saddam In Lobbying Effort "Vincent, an Iraqi-born American citizen with whom Timmons worked most closely, pleaded guilty to federal criminal charges in January 2005 that he had acted as an unregistered agent of Saddam Hussein's regime. Tongsun Park, the second lobbyist who Timmons worked closely with, was convicted by a federal jury in July 2006 on charges that he too violated the Foreign Agent Registration Act." Whose selling America to foreign powers?

POPSA Search Engine That's Becoming an Inventor "In many ways still has the head of a graduate-school project grafted onto the body of a multinational corporation" My impression of Google exactly. Not to say this bad - if they've got the technical chops on those servers it could be a huge (not easily imitated) competitive advantage.
