Posted by solomon-kleinsmith on Wednesday, April 20, 2011 · 4 Comments I run across a lot of these… short little letters to the editor expressing disappointment in the lack of connection with mainstream voters that the ideologues in control of the two major parties have with constituents – both at the state and local level. This part from one in the Arizona Daily Sun stuck out to me: Unfortunately, I see little opportunity for betterment with the current state of mind of the majority of legislators. Not only have they chafed at voter-mandated health care for the impoverished but other voter mandates such as “First Things First,” which funds early childhood development; increased sales tax to prevent cuts to education (which they cut anyway).

Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama signed a short-term funding extension on Saturday hours after Democrats and Republicans narrowly averted a partial shutdown of the federal government by agreeing on the measure and a budget deal. In his weekly address Saturday, the president explained that the agreement meant that small businesses can get the loans they need, families can get the mortgages they applied for, "folks can visit our national parks and museums" and paychecks, including those for the military, will be delivered on time.

The low point may have come Thursday night. House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) had spent more than an hour meeting with President Barack Obama in the Oval Office, inching toward a deal to avert a shutdown, but he kept insisting that it include a prohibition against federal funding for Planned Parenthood. That was a nonstarter for Obama. As the meeting was breaking up, Vice President Joe Biden told the speaker, in no uncertain terms, that his demand was unacceptable.

President Obama has issued an amendment to Executive Order 12425 , designating the international law enforcement agency Interpol as a “public international organization,” thus extending diplomatic immunity to the law enforcement group The amendment to the Executive Order — which does not need to be put to the senatorial test of “advise and consent” — reads: “By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288), and in order to extend the appropriate privileges, exemptions, and immunities to the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), it is hereby ordered that Executive Order 12425 of June 16, 1983, as amended, is further amended by deleting from the first sentence the words “except those provided by Section 2(c), Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 of that Act” and the semicolon that immediately precedes them.”
Mercenaries and Assassins: The Real Face of Obamas Good War
Reports that mercenaries employed by the notorious Blackwater-Xe military contracting firm participated in CIA assassinations in and have further exposed the real character of so-called “good war” that is being escalated by the Obama administration. Citing former employees of the firm and intelligence agents, the New York Times reported Friday that Blackwater gunmen, ostensibly contracted as security guards, “participated in some of the CIA’s most sensitive activities—clandestine raids with agency officers against people suspected of being insurgents in and and the transporting of detainees.” These “snatch and grab” operations—many of them involving killings of individuals suspected of participating in the resistance to US occupation—“occurred on an almost nightly basis during the height of the Iraqi insurgency from 2004 to 2006, with Blackwater employees playing central roles,” the Times reports.
