"GEORGE BUSH, PLAYS DOWN RECESSION & ECONOMY CRUNCH"

President Bush said, "When you over correct, you end up in the ditch." Clever words, from a President with a 28% approval rating (depending on which poll, looked at) and an economy that is going south, fast. President Bush was speaking at the "The Economic Club of New York," trying to convince all in attendance, plus the American people, the economy is not in a free fall, the "Bush Tax Cuts" should be made permanent, and to much government intervening could be a catastrophe, for America. The President of the United States, used a multitude of anecdotal and colorful comments, assuring the people the economy was not in a recession and the U. S. economic ship will be righted. President Bush, a man who has consistently been criticized for "staying the course" and not pulling out of some policy decisions, even if the American people, advisors, or the world thinks he may be wrong, is still beating the same horse. Maybe, President Bush should be going with a strategy of, "it is better to have egg on your face (admitting a wrong policy), than something else on your head (for pressing forward)."

Bush also said today, "that markets need time to self correct," "that anytime the government intervenes in the market, it must do so with clear purpose and great care" and "if Congress does not make the tax cuts permanent, they will create additional uncertainty, during uncertain times." However, those are all great "talking points," but the American people are seeing gas moving closer to $4.00 a barrel, food prices rising in grocery stores, and a huge crunch on small businesses. Even when the "government stimulus checks" arrive, sometime in late May to early June, most people are going to have to use them to buy gas, extra food, and necessities, things that will not help the economy rebound. Dumping more on Mr. Bush's head, because of the lack of foresight into the American plight, buying strategies, and sticking with "Wall Street," rather than knowing "Main Street."

The President boomed, at the men and women of Congress, to make his tax cuts permanent. Economist, actor and the "get the red out" commercial man, Ben Stein was hosting and a big part of the event. Stein campaigned in 2005 for an overhaul of Social Security, yet is no schill for Bush. He believes that the "Bush tax cuts," are a main reason why the housing market and sub-prime mortgage crash, deficit spending and overall credit crunch has happened. Stein, is an economic guru and has an affinity with President Bush. Yet he spoke on camera, saying, "I love Mr. Bush. He will always have my vote and appreciation for the many good things he has done [for the country], but I think that he did this wrong. We have had fiscal mismanagement for some time now. The chickens have come home to roost. We've got to stop it. We owe it to our grandchildren, or else we will leave them, as pions of the Asians and Petro states."

The majority of the United States debt, projected anywhere from $11 to $16 trillion, is mostly owned by China and Asian countries. This is not only a huge crunch on the U. S. dollar, but it is also a major national defense issue. China is buying up American debt, they are also buying all of the oil, natural gas, and many other natural resources around the globe. China, who is hosting the "2008 Winter Olympics," in Beijing, is now a "super power." The Chinese have been increasingly flexing new found muscle, not only in both the economic, but also in defense areas. Last year alone, the Chinese sent "cyber war" viruses into the Pentagon and other government installations (causing all email to shut down completely and other Internet problems), several Chinese-Americans and other Chinese immigrants (legal, some on a Z-Visa programs, and illegal immigrants, as well) have been caught/charged with espionage and successfully transferring information, plus certain defense parts back to their homeland. China launched and shot down a space satellite, with an intercontinental ballistic missile, something that has never been done before. China and Russia have completely blocked, or abstained from voting, against Iran, in United Nations. However, with China holding trillions of dollars of United States, George Bush and the U. S. have no power to influence China, in any way.

The housing market is in the tank, gas is over the $3.50 a gallon range, gold is over $1000 an ounce (for the first time in history), China and Russia are both getting stronger and the U. S. is getting weaker, and finally people on Main Street are all feeling the crunch. In today's speech and event, President Bush had little to say and even less to assure the people of America. Recession is in the first stages, by all accounts, and unless something is done fast, it will become a full blown economy recession. Still, President Bush stands fast, stating the rebate checks (coming in May/June) need to be given time to work, tax cuts need to be made permanent, and dodging the egg being thrown his way. Like stated above, "George W. Bush needs to allow the egg to hit him in the face, before something else hits the fan and falls on his head."

"BARACK OBAMA, 20 YEARS WITH JEREMIAH WRIGHT, IS JUDGEMENT PROBLEM"

Making a conscious choice, to attend a church, is one of the biggest decisions of a person's life. Choosing where to go "worship the Lord" (for Muslim, Jewish, Christian, et. al), having the soul fed, and building a relationship to a higher power, is exceptionally hard. There are three main things to consider, before investing (what one would consider, in some religions) a person's eternal soul, in choosing a church/place of worship. First, a person must make a theological choice (whether to become Jewish, Muslim, Christian church, et. al), a denominational choice (type of theology/dogma, Jewish Cabbala, Orthodox Jewish, Shiite Muslim, Sunni Muslim, Baptist, Lutheran, Catholic, or other denominations), and finally one has to make a choice of the content. The churches pastor, priest, minister, and/or teacher, content of message, ethics and morality of the sermons of the church are all paramount. A precise ratio of the above, mix of cultural and environmental effects combine, for a person to make a fulfilled decision. Possibly, a choice impacting their lives for years, and for eternity (pending on the religious belief system). Barack Obama has attended and is a member of the "Trinity United Church of Christ." Until the last two months, the church was headed by Jeremiah Wright, and also the head pastor.

Barack Obama was married in this church, his children were baptized by Wright, Obama’s book "The Audacity of Hope" came from one of Jeremiah Wright's sermons, and Barack Obama considers (by his own admission) that Wright is a "close friend, confidant, business partner and an inspiration of hope to all Christians." Barack Obama is a man who peddles the concept of change, unity, and hope for the United States, in his bid for President. Hope, change, mixed with his good judgment, are the key stones that have made Obama the front runner and possible democratic nominee. He is the Democratic Party's "rock star" and best hope (if you buy into the pundits, media, and certain pollsters hype), of taking over the White House. Obama possesses a powerful mix of looks, style, charismatic prowess, and the political control to let things that do not seem to matter, slide. He has prided himself on being, "above the politics as usual" and consistently speaks on how he will change the country, thru hope and a "yes we can" attitude. However, actions speak louder than words, or so the expression goes.

Can a person be elected President of the United States, based on their own self proclaimed judgment, belief system, and words based on hope and change, when the church they have attended (for over twenty years) is diametrically opposed to his/her supposed belief system and platform? The American people should be well informed and concerned about the recent outing of comments from Wright. In Wright's pulpit, the sermons are in direct opposition to almost everything, Obama says he stands for, while running for President. Knowing that a church is peddling Afro-Centric disenfranchisement, anti-Semitism, hypocrisy, anti-American rhetoric, hate, and an overall disdain for anyone, not of color in America, is not attributes a possible president/presidential candidate should aspire to, or covet. In fact, when most people are faced with a conscious decision, to sit thru an hour of someone preaching to them, with lies ("The United States government made the HIV virus, as a form of genocide, for people of color," was just one of Wright's comments.), hate speech, Americans deserving to die, anyone would assume they would usually walk out. However, Obama did not walk out, he is still a member of the church. Is this good judgement, or the judgement of "the commander-in-chief?" If Obama had just attended the church, as a casual Christian, did not know what the church was completely about, or had only been a member for a year (or two), it could be excusable. However, twenty years of hate filled speech and a pastor who is an outlandish figure (being looked at, for crimes), filled with spite and contrite messages, there is no excuse.

In trying to find some good reasoning, for Obama’s lack of action in finding another church, based on the constant barrage of anti-American and false comments, is hard to do. Barack Obama and Jeremiah Wright served on a "nonprofit" board together, but Wright is being looked into (as is the church business office) by the Internal Revenue Service and police. Maybe, some would argue Obama could have been, "born into the church." However, Obama attended both Muslim and Christian schools, in his youth, not making a decision to join the Wright church, until he was an adult. As religious people, the choice of a faith, spirituality, and the content of the church chosen, is a personal decision. Although, Barack Obama, is running for President, making the circumstances different, based on what his views on issues "in the Oval Office" and who may be advising him. Therefore, it begs to question, where he stands on the issues of Wright's pulpit, messages, and the overall church standings, personally, in his community and in content. Where does Obama stand after twenty years of the hate speech, anti-Semitism, a specific benchmark of Afro-centric theme, anti-American, and non-Biblical teachings? Finally, how does a man who professes to have superb judgement and stumps on hope, tolerance and peace, when every Sunday he is coveting a friend, pastor and message to the contrary? He decided the Wright church and message was for him, his wife, and their kids, rather than trying to find another Christian facility/church, based on love, peace, "John 3:16" and other essential Christian doctrine. There is not anyone to blame, answer for where he stands, or give a reason why he continued to stay and worship in a place that spews out such filth and lies, except Barack Obama.

For Barack Obama, where is the "Christian Doctrine," hope, change and unity/platform, and finally the Presidential judgment, in a church, where the pastor says the below and why is the media not asking him about where he stand on these statements:

"Barack knows, what it means to be a black man, living in a country and a culture, that is controlled by rich white people. Hillary can never know that, Hillary ain't never been called a N_gg_r."

"Hillary is married is married to Bill, and Bill has been good to us [Afro-American people]. No he ain't, Bill did "us" just like he did Monica Luinski (Wright thrusting his pelvis in and out, during the next words), he was riding dirty."

"The government gives them [Afro-American teens, men and women], builds bigger prisons, passes a three strike rule, and then wants us to sing "God Bless America?" No, No, No, not "God Bless America," god damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people. God (god) damn America for treating her citizens, as less than human."

"We bombed Hiroshima. We bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York (referring to the U. S. Government attacking itself on 9-11) and the Pentagon, and yet we never batted an eye."

"We have supported 'state terrorism' against the Palestinians, black South Africans, and now we are indignant, because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought into our own front yards."

"The government is a lie. The government lied about inventing the HIV virus, as a means of genocide against people of color. Governments lie. The government lied about a connection between Al Qaeda and 9-11. The government lied about weapons about weapons of mass destruction, and if the government does not find the W.M.D.'s, they gonna do just like the L. A. P. D. and plant, them, some weapons of mass destruction."

CAPITAL HILL DEMOCRATS REFUSE FISA, "SPY BILL"

President George W. Bush has an approval rating, between 23%-29%, and the Congress has an approval rating between 19%-23% (both depending on which poll used). The American people are not thrilled, to be kind, about the illegal immigration "situation" and the border fence, the economy, and countless other issues. One issue being the blatant disregard for the welfare of the country, regarding the "wire tap bill," which has been in effect for years now, expired last summer and was extended (with "bipartisan support"), and now Congress will not approve the same bill, it extended just months ago.

In the final bill, being voted on the floor of the Congress, the hang up (no pun intended), is telephone companies are not given security, for letting the government listen in on out of country (to possible in country, with a warrant) calls. This bill will leave the telephone companies, like Verizon, AT& T, Sprint, Cingular, and all of the others, open to millions of dollars in law suits. Last summer, when the bill was passed, with over 80% of bi-partisan support, there was no problem with giving the telephone companies protection, blanket law enforcement security, and no chance at multiple law suits, being brought against the companies being at the government's behest. What has changed, since last summer, for Nancy Pelosi, Harry Ried, and the remainder of the democrats in congress?

The problem is simple, politics as usual, in a presidential election year, period. The political football, on Capitol Hill, is the "wire tap bill," which comes at the expense of the national security of the United States and the safety of it's citizens. The bill and overall phone security plan was in the exact same language, as the summer before. While the Harry Ried and Nancy Pelosi have both said that, "each phone company will stand before a court, if charges are brought against them." With the approval ratings and amount of trust the American people have in Congress, surely they will hand over all wire transfers, calls, and anyone who has a disposable/personal cell phone. Maybe, in the "Land of Oz," but not here in America. After the attacks of 9/11, any sane person would think the Congress of the United States would take every precaution to keep every citizen safe. For the simple reason, no words and policies changed from the summer extension of the "FISA/Phone Tap Act," the Democrats on Capitol Hill must get the original text to the President. This is the only way to insure, the country continues to be attack free, and the safest country in the world.

AS SPITZER DEPARTS, TALKING HEADS, FINALLY DISCUSS ABUSE FACTORS"

There have been more theories and rants on Elliott Spitzer, his actions, and what is to become of him (both professionally and personally), but every television show, radio personality, and print media outlet have all missed the boat. Elliot Spitzer is just another, in a long line of men, who are full of entitlement and narcissism. John F. Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Wade Boggs (former baseball player), Jimmy Swaggert, and the list of the men of hubris and narcissism continues, daily. Yet, the "big name people" capturing the lens and the media ink, are just a fraction of men who are abandoning, taking advantage, and perpetuating a huge problem, with the nation wide abuse of women. When the "news story" is over, women and kids are always the ones crushed and damaged for life. Yet, they are covered, treated, and discussed the least, in almost all episodes (except for a little bit of pitty, in the last part of any story). It is not the narcissist and those who were caught, rather the wives, living children, the actual prostitutes (who were thrust into the sex life and trade, usually by a man/men in their pasts), and the very least (yet possibly the most impacted), the unborn children of the $4 billion American sex trade industry.

For every Spitzer, Clinton, Boggs, or Hiedi Fliess, there are tens of thousands, of women who are being taken advantage of daily. These are only the women in the public eye, or are "outed," in the process of the men who got caught. Maybe, one percent of all public figures actually get caught, are drug thru the mud (by the press, who makes huge dollars, at the expense of everyone involved), and publicly crucified. However, there is a $4 billion business in the United States, in pornography, prostitution, and Internet trysts, escorts, being in the sex industry. In a $4 billion enterprise, in the United States alone, how many women are actually taken, raped, and/or personally damaged, forever, by men having mental and/or physical power over them, in some way? The highest rated cable news show, The O'Reilly Factor and "The No Spin Zone, with Bill O'Reilly," on talk radio, there was only talk of Elliot Spitzer and speculation of "why" he risked so much, on the "Emperor's Club" (the prostitution hub). There was not any mention of how the majority, roughly 83% of all women (different studies, give different statistics) in the sex industry have been raped, come from a broken home, or have endured physical/emotional abuse of some kind (91% of those, by men). Of course, Governor Elliott Spitzer spending $80,000 is a huge story, and a ratings boon. When the political aftermath is over, where will that leave the real topic, and all of the women in the sex trade across America? Bill O'Reilly is not going to be championing a fight for the sex trade worker, the twenty year old victim forced into selling herself, delving into a hard look at the facts, because the looking glass will be pointed right back at him. Being a former sex scandal "aficionado" himself, the "Who's Looking Out For You" author, is going to skim the top of the Spitzer news. Then, after the purpose, of his ratings has peaked, he will duck back into the role of "people's champion," after not touching the problem, behind the problem.

It will take a complete effort, by MEN, to bring women out of the despair, shadows, and hell of the sex trade, because men are the cause of the problem. The problem crosses race and crede, but men are the predominate cause. When people are asking, where are the John Wayne's, Ronald Reagan's, and General Patton's of our generation?" There is a deafening silence, from men leading for right reasons and crusading for women to be put on pedestals (not put under the podium). Some of the pundits, on major news channels, beckoned for legalizing prostitution. Is that the solution, of today's voices, to make the problem legal? Yet another example, of hubris in the media and with elites. A blatant sense of entitlism and narcissism, from the people who think they can buy there way in any door and out of any problem.

Sickness of the heart, soul, and bodies of women, in the United States, starts with symptoms that blossom into a full blown epidemic, in a handful of years. Young girls, in preteens abused and teen pregnancy, unwed mother's raising kids without a father figures (making their girls easy prey for perverts, narcissists and sadists), those who are taken advantage of mentally and physically (by the men who are supposed to be the "father figures"), and finally young ladies who are not diagnosed correctly, with mental illnesses are just a fraction of the women ending up in the sex trade. Women looking to be loved and treated well by men, do not always have the coping skills and overall techniques to accomplish loving relationships, thru past failures of male role models. This is the story of record now, with the Elliott Spitzer case front and center, the women behind the "Spitzers" of the world, in the shadows. If there is no light shown on those women, who are deep into a $4 billion industry (being sold like cattle at auction), then will anyone ever see them, or is should they feel like their is any hope?

Narcissists and people of shallow ethical values will always prey on the weak. It takes people of strong character, moral fiber, and overall someone to give a voice to the plight of the weak and those led astray. Without a champion, to spearhead the real problems, not just the "headlines of a problem" (like Spitzer), then the bar will not stay the same. The moral and ethical bar, for those who need a champion, will be moved lower and lower, by those who are steering America down a slope that has no end.

America, on a downward spiral, in ethics, morality, and an overall lack of sense, because of the "secular progressive agenda." In racial politics, there was a time for the civil rights movement, and things have gradually become better, for different racial components and people in America. This problem transcends race, because women come in all races, and are over half of the American population. It is time for a massive outreach, a hammering legislative process (by the government), and finally for men champions to step forward and bring this huge problem to the forefront. Every woman in America is special, is a person who has needs and needs a person to depend on, and finally women bring forth life. These reasons alone, show it is time for all the people of the United States to take a stand against "the underground women factory of sex, betrayal, and exploitation," but MEN have to lead the way.
====================================================================
Does this sound like the majority of men, elitists, people in power, and in the public eye today? Perhaps, it sounds like you? It is never to late to change, take a stand, and try to make America the best country it can possibly be, for everyone, not just yourself.NINE CHARACTERISTICS OF A NARCISSIST, AS PER, THE WIKOPEDIA DICTIONARY:
1. "to be devoid of empathy"
2. "The term narcissism means love of oneself, and refers to the set of character traits concerned with self-admiration, self-centeredness and self-regard."
3. "The narcissist is inclined to lie or deceive."
4. "The narcissist often criticizes others, sometimes to the extent of damaging their reputation."
5. "The narcissist often behaves very differently in public situations from private situations (i.e. his or her public persona is very different from his or her private persona).The public persona is typically very charming (perhaps designed to generate admiration) while the private persona can appear to be quite aggressive. Most people only witness the public persona and do not see the private persona, and therefore have a very distorted perception of the narcissist's true character."
6. "A narcissist is generally an adult; between a half and three-quarters of narcissists are men, the rest being women."
7. "While a narcissist might criticize others the narcissist strongly dislikes to be criticized by others."
8. "While a narcissist might interrupt others in conversation the narcissist strongly dislikes to be interrupted by others."
9. "A narcissist feels entitled to special privileges."
