It's CLOTURE for a REASON, you idiots!!!

OK. Today we dedicate to the Senate of the United States

It takes 60 senators voting together to STOP a filibuster in the Senate.

This is called Cloture


It's time for the 60 so called democratic senators to call a spade a spade.

Apparently, Both the Republican party, Ben Nelson, and Former Democrat (now alleged independent) Joe Lieberman need to learn that if they will NOT agree to sponsor the bill, they will be required to start to HOLD THE SENATE in CONTINUOUS session, until they lose.

PUSH OR SHOVE...

You want to FILIBUSTER??? GO AHEAD. let's see it all on C-SPAN, and see what we get from all these so called representatives of our government.

I say it's time for Harry Reams to call a vote, and allow the senators to filibuster all they want.

WAIT till the voters NEXT year hear this. We'll have 70-90 democrats in the senate.

Your Thoughts? I welcome suggestions.

Look at my top 10 list.

Political (campaign) reform (eliminate special interest voting)
educational reform (day care from 6 months...
job training
mandatory service
SINGLE payer HEALTH-Care (phased in over 20 years...)
a LIVING wage.. (I started this blog over 3 years ago saying this!)
A HUGE green jobs project to undo the terrible injustices to mass transit made by General motors...
and more

MORE PALIN pains: She Lied (oh no, OMG... A liar in the white house?)

ABC News sez:


no.. their investigative reporters found it, not their on air "talent" (Charles Gibson of 20/20)

Governor Sarah Palin Did Not Tell the Truth to ABC

OMG. She's Lying? Like... gag me with a ...I know...OIL Pipeline?

She's not telling the truth when she told ABC neither she nor her husband pressured me to fire Trooper Wooten," said Walt Monegan, the Alaskan official whose dismissal by Sarah Palin is the focus of a state investigation known as "Troopergate". "And she's not telling the truth to the media about her reasons for firing me."

In an exclusive interview with ABC News.com, (NOT the talent, but the investigators!!!) former Alaska Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan said he resisted pressure by the First Couple to re-open an old case against a state trooper, who was in a hotly contested divorce and custody battle with the Governor's sister Molly.

In a 20/20 interview, Palin told ABC's Charles Gibson she dismissed Monegan for poor job performance and that neither she nor her husband pressured Monegan to fire State Trooper Wooten.

"We never did. I never pressured him to hire or fire anybody," Palin CLAIMS.

But Monegan told ABC News.com he was summoned to a meeting with Todd Palin in December 2006, shortly after Sarah Palin became governor.

"I was called to her Anchorage formal Governor's office to talk with Todd Palin about an issue that was a private family matter," recounted Monegan. Todd became "upset," Monegan recalled, when told the allegations had already been investigated and the case would not be re-opened.

OK. I'm sick to my stomach now. I totally expect Obama to Lose. But do we need to have LIAR PERJURER a Heartbeat away from the Presidency?

Just think... Start to say the Newly revised Tzar's prayer: Keep President McCain Healthy, and keep VP Palin far far away from that black box.
and then say to yourself Hilary in '12

Oh, and in case you missed it:

Here's the SNL clip with Sarah Palin and Hilary Clinton..
(stupid NBC wanted to put a widget in YOUR link, so here is link)



+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
OK, you wanted a Political discussion: Here goes.

The background I believe that:
* We're HEADING into a DEPRESSION.
* It's going to be as BAD as the last one.
* According to Robert Reich (former Sec'y of Labor under Clinton): The only number that he EVER saw, defining the
depression was that the unemployment rate hovered around 25%.
* We need a new deal.
* After 58 years of NO Health Care Reform (since 1950!) it will FINALLY be coming soon...
* We've managed to WASTE a FULL generation (from Zero to thirty) with decaying social, educational, and interpersonal skills.
* Our nation is no longer DOING (producing) anything.
SO, from these few premises, I have extrapolated a great deal of items to FIX our society...

But....
We need to make sure that a number of issues are resolved ALL at once.
If we don't do them ALL at once, its like juggling three RUNNING chain saws, but dropping one!

Here's what I came up with:

We need to do the FOLLOWING to FIX our Society:
* Create A Living Wage
* Create a National Single payer Healthcare
* Create a National 3-4 year draft (or alternate service)
* Create a Federally paid Day Care starting at six months
* Implement Tax Reform on the ULTRA Rich
* Lobbying (Political Reform)
* Education
* Infrastructure (road /bridge/Systems repairs)
* Lack of Training/futures
* Truth and Reconcilliation Commission
* A new "Manhattan" project, focusing on Energy INDEPENDENCE

See my other blog: http://sos-newdeal.blogspot.com for more details.

Politics: Cheney OUTED on Waterboarding..

Gee... Haven't I said in the past that George Bush was the PUPPET and

THE PUPPET-MASTER was VP Dick Cheney?


Apparently the puppetmaster

was PRESENT and the HIGHEST ranking official in THE GOVERNMENT

THAT approved WATERboarding and 'intense' techniques against prisoners..

See here (AP via ABCnews)

AUGH...

I been avoiding updating... but this forces me again!

Eclectic, Remember? FreedoM: (of airwaves/internet)

Hey. Remember? I'm eclectic, just like the name of my blog (over 400 posts so far too!--wow!)

This one is for NETWORK Neutrality!

Remember when the incumbents (like Comcast, Verizon, AT&T) said it WASN't Necessary?

Look Here!

Both a Democrat and a Republican Senator said the incidents involving several companies, including Comcast Corp. , Verizon and AT&T

have raised serious concerns over the companies' power to discriminate against content."

The two senators want the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee to investigate whether such incidents were based on legitimate business policies or unfair and anticompetitive practices and if more federal regulation is needed.

"The phone and cable companies have previously stated that they would never use their market power to operate as content gatekeepers and have called efforts to put rules in place to protect consumers 'a solution in search of a problem,'" they said in a letter to Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, the committee's chairman.



DAMNED straight we need NET Neturality.

Give the damned republicans control of ALL branches of government, and look at the MESS they made of that

THE PATRIOT ACT (revokes Citizen RIGHTS)
Lack of supervision from congress of the executive branch including

Supreme court appointments
Attorney General (gonsalves) questionalble acts
* TORTURE
* Waterboarding
* ILLEGAL firing of US Attorneys for POLITICAL reasons
Non-supervision and analysis of TWO stupid wars we're now involved in


See? They told us don't worry, now see the bullshit we need to put up with?

FDR and the WPA: A new deal for our country:

For some reason I cannot find anything I have previously written on the need to rebuild our country

Hey, I found it HERE and HERE: (on WNYC's discussion About John Dean 35 years after the fact...)

And I was the first caller on the segment with my Haiku:
(In case you're in the NSA and want my voice print as a baseline for the future torture I expect
in Jail when I become a OUTLAW for my DEMOCRATIC (and ANTI-PRESIDENTIAL views...)

{I'm not paranoid, but they're ALL OUT to get me!!!! heh heh!}

Impeach Cheney. Pelosi Pardons. Democracy returns.

If this were to happen (Pelosi becomes President), I predict the following would happen
OR at very least SHOULD happen!

1. Pelosi would grant George W. BUSH immunity from all US and international Charges (like against a trial by UN of WAR CRIMINAL!)
2. She would become the UNITY candidate for a four year term of president
3. She could introduce the following as a RECONSTRUCTION project for our country.
   

The reconstruction project would touch (and repulse MUCH of today's industry I might add!)
but would cover

• a) UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE (I like the fact under Hilary's Plan I can choose the government (congressional) plan!!
• b) UNIVERSAL Day Care from six months on at REASONABLE RATES
• c) A new, MINIMUM, LIVING (not minimum) wage-- around $15/hr to start!
• d) Equal Rights Amendment RATIFIED and put into law.
• e) A mandatory Post HS draft/Public Service.
  
• Either three years in Army, with a career and guaranteed college as an option if you re-enlist after three years. or
  
• Three years in service to the country. Are you a PC Person? work teaching PC's. Are you a carpenter? Build houses. etc. ALL over the country.
• f) A Truth and Reconciliation Commission for our country. (What a tragedy that we need it!)
• This commission would conduct FULLY disclosed hearings, and take testimony just like the ones in South Africa, and would AUTOMATICALLY pardon those who testify. NO TESTIFY??? CHARGE THEM!!!!!
  
• FIRST victim... DICK CHENEY (oops.. 1st person to testify!)
• g) Reconstruct the PRIVATE army.
  
• We need to re-make the United States Army. The three year recruits would not be as specialized as today UNLESS they commit for a longer period of time. This would allow the draftees (not a bad word!) to help restore services. IE, they WOULD have basic weapons training so that they can defend and help defend themselves .
• Firms such as Blackwater (private mercenaries) would be banned.

I am totally burned out but there is so much more. please feel free to comment and discuss here!

2008 Haiku: Impeach Cheney; Pelosi Pardons ; Democracy Restored-- Pass it on

Rumsfeld's Rules: His Rules: (Summary of 16 other messages)

This is only a placeholder.

Sorry it took me over 16 months to finish and Update this summary of RUMSFELD's RULES

I only wrote it to discuss the Privatization of the army, and the deficiencies of the CURRENT BUSH administration
(Written/compiled 9/18/07) from stuff I wrote and commented on in APRIL of 2006!

I have written (and COMMENTED ON) ALL of Rumsfeld's RULES from the BUSH one Adminstration.

They are HERE:

Intro (David Brin's Original suggestion to ANALYZE the Rumsfeld's Rules.. (1 of 17)

part 1 : Where he says Dont stay past your usefulness (paraphrased by me) and check with predecessors...

Part 2: Where he says, "LEARN to say, I don't KNOW!

Part 3: Where he says, "leadership is by consent, not command AND Be precise. A lack of precision is dangerous when the margin of error is small (my emphasis!).

Part 4: Where he says, "It is easier to get into something than to get out of it!" and "The WHITE House" wants!

Part 5: Where he says, " 19. Don’t automatically obey Presidential directives if you disagree or if you suspect he hasn’t considered key aspects of the issue.

Part 6: Where he says,
This is SO GOOD.... (couldn't cut...)

20. The price of being close to the President is delivering bad news. You fail him if you don’t tell him the truth. Others won’t do it.

(I said) *** Markbnj says ***
You ain't listening to your OWN rule, Mr. Rumsfeld! Tell him you've failed, and MAKE him accept your resignation and subsequent SUCIDE!

21. You and the White House staff must be and be seen to be above suspicion.
--->>> Set the right example.
*** Markbnj says ***
Go HERE and learn how to CORRECTLY commit Hara-kiri (literally "stomach cutting"). Make sure your entire Staff, and Especially the Vice President understands to perform Hara-kiri CORRECTLY!

22. The role of White House Chief of Staff is that of a “javelin catcher.” *** Markbnj says ***
And the Role of the Secretary of Defense, is that of the person that ORDERS the seppuku or death of the guilty.

Part 7: Where he says, "Have a deputy and develop a successor." Yeah Right!

Part 8: Where he says, "Keep your sense of humor. As General Joe Stillwell said, “The higher a monkey climbs, the more you see of his behind.”
*** Markbnj says ***
HA HA HA . This is FUNNY. In this case, we see RUMSFELD's Balls, he's so high...

Part 9 : Where he says, "Be able to resign. It will improve your value to the President and do wonders for your performance!"

AND

" If you are lost – “climb, conserve, and confess.” (U.S. Navy SNJ Flight Manual)"

Part 10: Where he says, "Plan backwards as well as forward. Set objectives and trace backto see how to achieve them." NEED I add a word at ALL?

Part 11: Where he says, " Don’t be a bottleneck"

Part 12: Where he says, "Consultation helps build consensus" (paraphrased) AND

If a <...edit...>Presidential approach can’t be explained clearly <...snip...>
it probably hasn’t been thought through well enough.
(and)
If not well understood <...snip...>, it probably won’t “sail” anyway. Send it back for further thought.

Not even TOUCHING this one... it speaks for itself!

Part 13: Where he says, " Think of dealing with Congress as a “revolving door.” You’ll be back to today’s opponents for their help tomorrow.

Part 14: Where he says, Beware <...snip...>any idea promoted <...snip...>because it is “bold, exciting, innovative, and new.” There are many ideas that are “bold, exciting, innovative and new,” but also foolish."

*** Markbnj says *** SUCH as REDEFINING TORTURE!!!!!???

Part 15: Where he says, "Include others. As the late Senator Pat Moynihan (D-NY) said, “Stubborn opposition to proposals often has no other basis than the complaining question, ‘Why wasn't I consulted?’”

Part 16: Where he says, " If in doubt, don’t." AND − If still in doubt, do what’s right.

2008 Haiku: Impeach Cheney; Pelosi Pardons ; Democracy Restored-- Pass it on

He's GONE!

BYE BYE

Mr. Lying-out guy

NEXT!!!

DICKEY CHENEY...

And then???


(VICE PRESIDENT) PELOSI will institute a TRUTH and RECONCILIATION commission.
and offer FREE IMMEDIATE PARDONS to those who resign IMMEDIATELY...

AND first to accept will be .... the FORMER PRESIDENT,

AND PRESIDENT PELOSI will then start the war crimes tribunals....

We're getting CLOSER AND CLOSER!

PoliticS: Impeach The MotherFuc*er Already!

HE had the BALLS to COMMUTE Scooter LIBBY's SENTENCE?

Send the MoFo DIRECTLY to his TRIAL for torture!

what a set of IRON balls this dick has! *

*as of 6/2/07 at 10:42, we're STILL protected by freedom of speech

But based on NSPD 51 I bet it doesn't last much longer....

Until then, Mr. President, I salute you, . . . with my Middle finger...

And guess what folks, I heard on the radio the possibility that DICK CHENEY might be brought up on ARTICLES of IMPEACHMENT.

Cut HIS BALLS ANDHeart out!

PolicS: it's CHENEY again folks (update 7-2-07)

Cheney Claims that as Vice President and PRESIDENT of the Senate he is NO longer in the EXECUTIVE BRANCH

(update: link to the COMIX: Thanks to Darrin Bell/Gary Trudeau )

I don't make this up folks.

Our great dictator and Puppet Master in Washington has NOW said he will NOT submit the REQUIRED Documents that are requested of ALL people in the WHITE House discussing CLASSIFIED TOP Secret documents that they are withholding.

Now that is a sentence in itself, BUT Essentially our Dictator in Chief has said that he doesnt believe in publicizing things, he likes secrecy, and he will NOT submit ONE more document to the VERY office he is attempting to SHUT DOWN.

Last time I checked, NSPD51 (NSPD-51) has NOT been declared effective yet, so WE STiLL have a valid constitution, and can thus say this.

I really DONT think it (our freedom) has ANYTHING to do with Dick Cheney.



Cheers

The dissident MarkB in NJ

PoliticS: BloomBerg for President 2008??

Political QUESTION for the community....
President 2008.

(My opinion: Hillary and Obama are deeply flawed, with excess baggage.
Richardson is interesting, I like John Edwards (and he 'ain't a senator now!)

BUT.... against Rudy Gulianni (as ex ny'er I can safely say Dictator in WAITING)
and ...

They aren't what I've wanted to DEVOTE myself to this time

BUT now

MICHAEL Bloomberg (who is term-limited from having another term as mayor of NY)

has declared as independent.

I say "Go Mikey Go!!!!"

ALL THE WAY

Positives:
* Built a multi-billion dollar business in less then 20 years
* Good administrator, has proven in NY, he is Chief Executive officer/)PRESIDENT material
* SELF FINANCING is a NO BRAINER. He spent $150 MILLION to win his 2 terms in NYC
* almost 80-90% (not sure. need details) approval rating
* Possible savior to campaign financing Scandals??? to push reform through?
* Viewed as a positive or consencious builder, not a "tear-down" or dicatator, or wishy-washy.
* No NEGATIVE perceptions of him vis-a-vis "9-11", as opposed to "Rudy"

Negatives:
* A jew for President, in my lifetime??? Be still my heart (shades of JFK!)
* MUCH question about motives.
* Buying presidency?
* Vs. Rudy and Hilary? A 3 way NY race?
* Will rest of country think of this as viable?
*3rd party candidate for President?
* Will this only elect the REPUBLICIAN in 2008

Your thoughts? all welcome

Ideas? comments? thoughts?

Kudos to Darrin BELL!(Candor) NSPD-51

HEY someone else is paying attention TOO!

AND they see EXACTLY what WE see too!!!!

Kudos, and acknowledgements to Mr. Bell for being one of the FIRST mainstream cartoonists
(besides Doonsbury- Gary Trudeau) to say we are being HEISTED.

Politics: First BUSH insider TURNS REBEL

I'm PUMPED

Headline in TODAY's (NY) Times:

Ex-Aide Details a Loss of Faith in the President

In a wide-ranging interview here, Mr. Dowd called for a withdrawal from Iraq and expressed his disappointment in Mr. Bush’s leadership.

Looking back, Mr. Dowd now says his faith in Mr. Bush was misplaced.

Mr. Bush still approached governing with a “my way or the highway” mentality reinforced by a shrinking circle of trusted aides.

“I really like him, which is probably why I’m so disappointed in things,” he said. He added, “I think he’s become more, in my view, secluded and bubbled in.”

In speaking out, Mr. Dowd became the first member of Mr. Bush’s inner circle to break so publicly with him.

In speaking out, Mr. Dowd became the first member of Mr. Bush’s inner circle to break so publicly with him.

WAY TO GO GEORGE! FIRST BLOOD!!! GO GO VAMPIRE BLOOD!!

Dowd Continues:

I’m a big believer that in part what we’re called to do ...snip... other people call it karma — is to restore balance when things didn’t turn out the way they should have, Mr. Dowd said.

Just being quiet is not an option when I was so publicly advocating HIS election.

He goes on to say:

“We should design campaigns that appeal not to 51 percent of the people,” he said, “but bring the country together as a whole.”

(that) the president’s announcement last fall that he was re-nominating the former United Nations ambassador John R. Bolton, whose confirmation Democrats had already refused, was further proof to him that Mr. Bush was not seeking consensus with Democrats.

that he came to believe Mr. Bush’s views were hardening , with the reinforcement of his inner circle. But, he said, the person “who is ultimately responsible is the president.”

He gradually ventured out with criticism, going so far as declaring last month in a short essay in Texas Monthly magazine that Mr. Bush was losing “his gut-level bond with the American people,”

If the American public says they’re done with something, our leaders have to understand what they want, Mr. Dowd said. They’re saying, ‘Get out of Iraq.’

Wow... Can we dream that George really knows how to read and gets the hint?


Go read the ENTIRE INTERVIEW/ARTICLE HERE

Resume of George W. Bush

BY: GEORGE W. BUSH

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington , DC 20520

EDUCATION:
I graduated from Yale University with a low C average.

I was a cheerleader.

LAW ENFORCEMENT:
I was arrested in Kennebunkport , Maine , in 1976 for driving under the influence of alcohol. I pled guilty, paid a fine, and had my driver's license suspended for 30 days. My Texas driving record has been "lost" and is not available.

MILITARY:
I joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL. I refused to take a drug test or answer any questions about my drug use.

By joining the Texas Air National Guard, I was able to avoid combat duty in Vietnam

PAST WORK EXPERIENCE:
I ran for U.S. Congress and lost. I began my career in the oil business in Midland , Texas , in 1975. I bought an oil company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas . The company went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock.

I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using taxpayer money.

With the help of my father and our friends in the oil industry, including Enron CEO Ken Lay, I was elected governor of Texas

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS :
I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies,
making Texas the most polluted state in the Union. Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden city in America

I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of billions in borrowed money.

I set the record for the most executions by any governor in American history.

With the help of my brother, the governor of Florida , and my father's appointments to the Supreme Court, I became President after losing by over 500,000 votes.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT :
I am the first President in U.S. history to enter office

with a criminal record.

I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week.

I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted

the U.S . Treasury.

I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history.

I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies

filed in any 12-month period.

I set the all-time record for most foreclosures

in a 12-month period.

I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history

of the U.S. stock market.

In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their jobs
and that trend continues every month.

I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any
administration in U.S. history. My "poorest millionaire," Condoleeza Rice, had a Chevron oil tanker named after her.

I set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips by a U.S.
President. I am the all-time U.S. and world record-holder for receiving the most corporate campaign donations.

My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S. History, Enron.

My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with theU.S. Supreme Court

during my election decision.

I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against
investigation or prosecution.

More time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in history.

I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S. history and refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed.

I presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history.

I changed the U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts.

I appointed more convicted criminals to my administration

than any President in U.S. history.

I created the Ministry of Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy in the history of the United States government.

I've broken more international treaties

than any President in U.S. history.

I am the first President in U.S. history to have the United Nations
remove the U.S. from the Human Rights Commission.

I withdrew the U.S. from the World Court of Law. I refused to allow inspectors access to U.S . "prisoners of war" detainees and thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention.

I am the first President in history to refuse United Nations

election inspectors (during the 2002 U.S. election).

I set the record for fewest numbers of press conferences

of any President since the advent of television.

I set the all-time record for most days on vacation in any

one-year period. After taking off the entire month of August,

I presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history.

I garnered the most sympathy for the U.S. after the World Trade Center attacks and less than a year later made the U.S. the most hated country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history.

I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to
simultaneously protest me in public venues (15 million people),
shattering the record for protests against any person

in the history of mankind.

I am the first President in U.S. history to order an unprovoked,
pre-emptive attack and the military occupation

of a sovereign nation.

I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S. citizens, and the world community.

I have cut health care benefits for war veterans

and support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops

and their families-in-wartime.

In my State of the Union Address, I lied about our reasons for
attacking Iraq and then blamed the lies on our British friends.

I am the first President in history to have a majority of Europeans
(71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat

to world peace and security.

I am supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical Bunker Buster," a WMD. I have so far failed to fulfill my pledge

to bring Osama Bin Laden [sic] to justice.

RECORDS AND REFERENCES:
All records of my tenure as governor of Texas are now in my father's library, sealed and unavailable for public view.

All records of SEC investigations into my insider trading

and my bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.

All records or minutes from meetings that I,

or my Vice-President, attended regarding public

energy policy are sealed in secrecy and
unavailable for public review.

I am a member of the Republican Party.

PLEASE CONSIDER MY EXPERIENCE WHEN VOTING IN THE 2006 MIDTERM ELECTIONS. PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERY VOTER YOU KNOW.

PoliticS: Why Bush is a failure as a president.

What Bush Really Meant: The CEO president

I really like the idea of this blogger. Hi. Let's be friends!

What the United States (and the WORLD) need to understand about our current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, in Washington is:

HE IS:

1. A self admitted Drunk Driver


2. A self admitted Cocaine abuser


3. The First (and Last I hope) MBA (Master BIZ administration) President


4. A REALLY REALLY Bad Manager


5. One of the TRUE HANDS-OFF Presidents in the recent past


6. Unable to admit he has made a mistake, despite the possible grave consequences

Why Bush has failed
My opinion of his failures (and why he is a failure as the MBA president)
In Managing, He delegates OK, but does NOT FOLLOW UP and or ADJUST to ensure the RESULTS are what he wanted.
He has Tragically chosen YES men, instead of men that will DELIVER the Results he seeks.

A Great deal of our President's Problems is that he delegates well, but has no grip of reality of what problems will arise...

Since he does not have the intellectual depth to understand the problems (depth and breadth) of the problem, he does not grasp possible problems, and what might happen.
Example: Bush came into office, and told his key staff he wanted to overthrow Saddam Hussein. This begat, planning for the war, immediately after his second term started, as well as Incomplete plans for getting out of IRAQ.

Example: George W did not know anything about the Dubai Ports deal. This is because his staff either :
did not think W was capable of grasping the problems with it, if told in advance, or
Thought that since it was a financial transaction, it would stay below the radar of the press.

His first words on the matter were that he supported it, despite NOT having been informed of the deal and the deal's details.
ONLY AFTER a week or two did he actually admit that he had NOT known ANYTHING of the deal when he made his first comments.

THIS, SHOOT first, Ask Questions later is one of the KEY missing links in his presidency.

Delegation without Follow-up: Sec'y of Defense Donald Rumsfield, Alberto Gonsalves.
I would personally be very very embarassed if I were hispanic, and had supported gonsalves, as being his highest apointee so far.
EXCUSE ME.. This is the man who LEGALIZED torture with Mr. Rumsfield, and committed one of the worst acts of TREASON to this country in the past Century.
The fact that TORTURE was defended by Mr. Rumsfield, and NOT challenged by the Chief executive is tragic.

WAR CRIMES TRIBUNAL
FORGET IMPEACHMENT.
It's time for the criminals at the head of our government to be arressted and tried for war crimes.

This includes, but is NOT limited to President (George W), VP (Dick Cheney), as well as many people in the cabinet (Attny General, Sec'y of Defense), as well as PEOPLE who are the president's ADVISORS (CARL ROVE) who have deliberately flaunted and ignored rules protecting our nation's Intelligence Agents.

Predicted Charges:
George BUSH. Unilaterally Invading a soverign govenment, destroying a country, and instigating a policy and deliberately allowing TORTURE, in contradiction to the geneva convention.
Dick Cheney. SAME.
Carl Rove. OUTTING a CIA Agent (US charges, under next president).

This is a shame...
