POPSDick Cheney's losing his old black magic It's great to watch people step up to smack Cheney down. Retired Gen. Paul Eaton blasted back today, and I couldn't say it any better: "The record is clear: Dick Cheney and the Bush administration were incompetent war fighters. They ignored Afghanistan for 7 years with a crude approach to counter-insurgency warfare best illustrated by: 1. Deny it. 2. Ignore it. 3. Bomb it. While our intelligence agencies called the region the greatest threat to America, the Bush White House under-resourced our military efforts, shifted attention to Iraq, and failed to bring to justice the masterminds of September 11. "The only time Cheney and his cabal of foreign policy 'experts' have anything to say is when they feel compelled to protect this failed legacy. While President Obama is tasked with cleaning up the considerable mess they left behind, they continue to defend torture or rewrite a legacy of indifference on Afghanistan. …

POPSGirl With Tourettes Tells Somebody to Fcuk Off! The girl stamped her feet repeatedly and eyewitnesses said that some snot and mucous dribbled out from her nose and mouth. Becca's mother said her daughter had actually taken her medication that morning and it seems that it was more of a teenage rant than any medical condition that led to the outburst. "She's a fucking miserable little git, that girl of mine!", said her mother today. Rebecca is the Chairman of the local Conservative Party.

POPSLawsuit to Obtain Treasury's Documents on Bailout of Freddie & Fannie
Treasury Department officials requested a 10-day extension to conduct a document review. However, since that time, Treasury has provided no documents and no indication when documents will be forthcoming. On his first day in office, President Obama promised that "transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency." The president further declared that "the Freedom of Information Act is perhaps the most powerful instrument we have for making our government honest and transparent, and of holding it accountable." Earlier this year, Judicial Watch had to sue the Obama Treasury Department in order to obtain documents regarding an historic meeting held by former Treasury Secretary Henry "Hank" Paulson with top bank executives. The documents show that Paulson and other officials, including then-NY Fed Reserve head and current Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner forced the executives to take the government's $250 billion "investment" (and resulting control).

POPSJudicial Watch Obtains Obama Documents Detailing ACORN Partnership for 2010 Census * Overall, 8% of the applicants, or over 300,000 people, were considered risks for hire. According to the U.S. Census documents, among other things, census data is used to allocate $300 billion in federal funds. Census data also "determines how many seats each state will have in the House of Representatives as well as the redistricting of state legislatures, county and city councils, and voting districts." "Given its history of illegal activity and fraud, ACORN should be nowhere near the 2010 Census," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "And shame on the Obama Commerce Department for continuing to demonize conservatives by lumping together law enforcement and anti-immigration groups with 'hate groups.' This discriminatory policy raises First Amendment concerns. Indeed, these documents provide further evidence that the Obama administration is politicizing the 2010 Census." Census Bureau refuses to partner with "Hate Groups, Law Enforcement, Anti-Immigrant

POPSGeithner & Rangel to be Subpoenaed in Tax Fraud On 5 March 2009 a Motion was filed in U.S. v. David Jacquot, Case # CR 08-1171, in the Federal District Court, in San Diego, California seeking to dismiss a false tax return indictment on the grounds that the Defendant was not treated in the same manner as politically prominent individuals.

POPSNancy Killefer Takes a Hit for Tom Daschle She was nominated to be Barak Obama's chief performance officer, but it turns out that she had a $900.00 plus tax problem. So why is Killefer going and not Daschle? I suspect that if she didn't go, it could be argued that Daschle should not be confirmed because the number of Obama's nominees with tax problems are starting to pile up and Congress should draw the line somewhere. I believe she is taking the fall to remove a reason for rejecting Daschle, even though her $900 plus tax problem is minuscule compared to Daschle's $140,000 tax problem. Besides, it's commonplace to hold women to higher standards than men. It's a convenient excuse for keeping the glass ceiling intact.

POPSObama’s Speech: Consider These Goalposts Moved! For the men and women of Reverend Wright’s generation, the memories of humiliation and doubt and fear have not gone away; nor has the anger and the bitterness of those years. But the anger is real; it is powerful; and to simply wish it away, to condemn it without understanding its roots, only serves to widen the chasm of misunderstanding that exists between the races. Really? How about understanding its roots but not condemning it? That’s what Obama did for 20 years, implicitly lending himself to the cause of racial division — he finally admits early in the speech that he heard “remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church,” although these appear to be of a lesser grade somehow than the stuff that’s been airing on Fox — and only now with the presidency at stake has he awakened to the perniciousness of silence.

POPSThe War Over Veterans’ Benefits The Arizona senator’s own war service doesn’t exempt him from criticism on this one. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama called him “one of the few senators of either party who oppose this bill because he thinks it’s too generous” — a characterization that just barely stands up to fact-checking.* *http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/482/ (barely true) Fodder for Congressional Races Keep an eye on the re-election efforts of Republicans Steve Chabot in Ohio, Tom Feeney in Florida and Randy Kuhl in New York. They’re targets in two different holiday-week advertising attacks – radio commercials paid for by the campaign arm of House Democrats and television ads brought to you by the liberal group Americans United for Change. In the TV spot World War II-era images give way to modern ones. “Supporting our troops isn’t about politics – it’s about patriotism,” the announcer says. “Tell Steve Chabot to put the needs of our veterans first.”
