I was outraged to learn that the president wanted to outsource operations at some American ports to the United Arab Emirates.

One of the most widespread myths about the deal is that the Administration is outsourcing the security of our ports to a company from the United Arab Emirates.
Our ports are a vital link in national security and it is extremely dangerous to be considering their sale to the United Arab Emirates government.

Our ports are owned by local governments who are responsible for the ports. It is the Coast Guard and Customs that provide security. The federal government will never outsource our security.

To Those I Have Not Met or Seen
To those I have not met or seen...
But feel in my heart I know.
To those whose words
I have read closely.
And have embraced them,
Wherever I may with them go!
How can I rate...
An appreciation of such gifts?
How can I do that,
With a higher understanding...
They have given to me,
That brightens and uplifts!
I wish we could sit together,
And enjoy our happiness.
I wish we could strip away,
From these limiting boundaries.
That is what I wish...
After reading your depictions,
And the lives you live that exist!
I wish to be in your presence.
And hear your words spoken.
As I close my eyes...
To visualize,
Those images from your lips!

Reason Why President George Attacked Afghanistan
Why attack? Afghanistan
government never had
plans to attack the US.
Bush Administration
claims Taliban directly helped
or assisted al-Qaeda.
A claim never proven.
Then where were the nineteen
al-Qaeda hijackers born?
The 2004 report of the 9/11
Commission,
concluded the September 11
attacks “were carried
out by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists
who each assumed
the role of hijacker
of the aircraft they boarded
on 9/11. The attacks were
planned and organized
by numerous other members
of al-Qaeda, as well as
the lead member
and hijacker-pilot in each group.”
Not the Taliban George.
Hijackers born in Afghanistan
then, or Mr Bush
would not have attacked?
The 2004 report of the 9/11
Commission
checked nationalities aliases
revealed all the alleged
hijackers were from
“Saudi Arabia (fifteen
hijackers) , United Arab
Emirates (two hijackers) ,
Lebanon (one hijacker)
and Egypt (one hijacker) .”
But but but Bush
already knew none of the
suspected hijackers
were from Afghanistan.
The “identities of the alleged
hijackers were determined
'about two hours after
the 9/11 attacks' by the
US customs service
who 'were able to do that
[after] they [had obtained]
access to the flight manifests
of those aircrafts'
declared Edward Alden.
The hijackers came
from Saudi Arabia, United
Arab Emirates, Lebanon
and Egypt, countries never
attacked. Bush deliberately
attacked an innocent
country, another example
of Bush policy
beating around the wrong bush.
Oh and 'weapons of mass destruction'
reason for attacking killing Iraqis in Iraq
another bush fairy tale never found.

All the lows and highs
With anesthetic means im
Fit to socialize

Bombing hometowns I can
Watch it free from harm

Still keep the gas in my car

Truman Teaches Romney Where The Buck Stops
On the desk of President Truman did sit a sign
famous defining standard of the man throughout
the land of the great United States of America!
Truman sitting at his desk in his White House
office had responsibility sign 'The Buck Stops Here'
because in Truman's administration the president
took responsibility for the welfare of all Americans!
No poker player hustler could be elected president
swindle 47% of the American people and say it is not
his responsibility as president to care for all citizens!
Mitt Romney passed the buck declaring all voters
who would not vote for him were not his responsibility...
in his vision for a Romney rummy federal government!
President Truman had a motto even for Monday morning
because as star quarterback for a nation when a decision
is up before you then by you the decision has to be made!
President Truman defined what 'The Buck Stops Here'
means in January 1953 in his farewell address to his then
responsibility the American people asserting specifically
'The President-whoever he is-has to decide. He can't
pass the buck to anybody. No one else can do the deciding
for him. That's his job.' Responsibility for all Americans!

President Obama-Nobel Peace Prize
Did you hear?
'Hear what? '
President Obama!
He was selected to win,
A Nobel Peace Prize.
'Laaawwwddd...
The bigots and his detractors
Wont like that.
Especially the ones who question
His eligibility.
And whether or not he is deserving.'
He may be the first President to receive it!
'Let's just say the 'first' black president
Elected in the United States to receive it.'
I know he is intelligent.
I know he is wise and has the 'vision'.
But I 'still' can not believe it.
'Me either.
He has only been in office less than a year.'
And he could have done 'anything' he wanted.
ANYTHING other than run for president of this country.
Why would he want to sacrifice his talents like that?
Put himself in jeopardy to represent such imbeciles.
'Careful!
You talk about me too, you know! '
Did I say 'idiot'?
I said 'imbeciles', fool!
'There you go...
Being judgemental again.
That's what I don't like about you.
You have one of those bi-polar personalities.'
I like to refer to it as 'eccentric'.
You know...
Some of this and some of that.
'Oh yeah!
Like the different colors of MARBLES! '

'No.

Well..
How about,
The United Federation of Americas?
'Hmmm...
Now that does have a ring.
With Canada, Mexico...
And the current United States.
I like the sound of it! '
Or...
How about,
The United Western Hemisphere?
'YES!
That's brilliant.
We'll have a meeting this weekend,
To discuss it!
But we must go slowly with this.
The people are already going nuts over the economy!
But I do love this idea.
We'll have the United Northern Hemisphere.
The United Eastern Hemisphere.
And the United Southern Hemisphere.
Whenever we come to meet...
We'll call ourselves,
The United Conference of Hemispheres!
Pass that by President Obama.
See if he approves before the announcement is made!
We must consolidate all nations as soon as possible.'
