I keep looking at this pic and chuckling as I wonder, when have we ever had a president who looked like he just stepped out of a mod 60s movie as Bill Cosby when Bill Cosby was still cool?

jjohnsen, even better than closing Guantánamo would be the withdrawal of troops from Afghaniraq.

The man who predicted the 1987 stock market crash and the fall of the Soviet Union is now forecasting revolution in America, food riots and tax rebellions - all within four years, while cautioning that putting food on the table will be a more pressing concern than buying Christmas gifts by 2012.

...

Celente says that by 2012 America will become an undeveloped nation, that there will be a revolution marked by food riots, squatter rebellions, tax revolts and job marches, and that holidays will be more about obtaining food, not gifts.

�We�re going to see the end of the retail Christmas�.we�re going to see a fundamental shift take place�.putting food on the table is going to be more important that putting gifts under the Christmas tree,� said Celente, adding that the situation would be �worse than the great depression�.

�America�s going to go through a transition the likes of which no one is prepared for,� said Celente, noting that people�s refusal to acknowledge that America was even in a recession highlights how big a problem denial is in being ready for the true scale of the crisis.

...

�There will be a revolution in this country,� he said. �It�s not going to come yet, but it�s going to come down the line and we�re going to see a third party and this was the catalyst for it: the takeover of Washington, D. C., in broad daylight by Wall Street in this bloodless coup. And it will happen as conditions continue to worsen.�

�The first thing to do is organize with tax revolts. That�s going to be the big one because people can�t afford to pay more school tax, property tax, any kind of tax. You�re going to start seeing those kinds of protests start to develop.�

�It�s going to be very bleak. Very sad. And there is going to be a lot of homeless, the likes of which we have never seen before. Tent cities are already sprouting up around the country and we�re going to see many more.�

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - George Soros, chairman of Soros Fund Management, testified at a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on Thursday. Highlights:

* Said �a deep recession is now inevitable and the possibility of a depression cannot be ruled out.�

There is no 'lame duck' Congress because there will be no "new" Congress sworn in come January to "fix" things. It's the same crooks with 17 "new" faces who will join in lockstep with their brethren. Marxist Obama will bring no change because he's putting together the same players responsible for the banking collapse as his advisors. Obama is putting the wolves in the hen house. That is a fact for those who support Barack Hussein Obama. You have cut your own throat, you just haven't choked on your own blood yet.

If this sounds rather harsh, the American people are in for the shock of their lives; the reality will begin to really settle in mid first quarter of next year. The snow ball effect of job bleeding, no credit left for over extended Americans, continued foreclosures despite all the unconstitutional maneuvers by Congress and even bankrupt states, will slam this country in a few short months. The links at the bottom are just a small number that tell the story.

The Fed is thumbing their nose at Congress: Nov. 10 (Bloomberg) -- "The Federal Reserve is refusing to identify the recipients of almost $2 trillion of emergency loans from American taxpayers or the troubled assets the central bank is accepting as collateral. Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said in September they would comply with congressional demands for transparency in a $700 billion bailout of the banking system. Two months later, as the Fed lends far more than that in separate rescue programs that didn't require approval by Congress, Americans have no idea where their money is going or what securities the banks are pledging in return."

Congress foolishly gave the privately owned "FED" and Treasury total power with the bail out deal and now they're getting their noses rubbed in it. Lending institutions who received all this borrowed, worthless paper called a 'bail out' or 'rescue plan' are spending the sweat off your back like there's no tomorrow on big bonuses and lavish events, while Congress sits around scratching their backsides. Congress has let the genie out of the bottle and they're now running around like the nitwits they are trying to shore up this disaster of their own making.

...

Congress willfully violates the U.S. Constitution now as a matter of doing business. These crooks, including Marxist Obama and Juan McCain, have simply rubber stamped the utter and complete bankruptcy of this country.

by the odd posting numbers, I see greasemonkey continues to bring peace.

The spontaneous discussion about cheese was the tipoff for me.  Love it.

I can't stand when people put someone on ignore and then continue to proclaim they are ignoring them. Just shut up about it and bask in your ignorance! :)
