while using a four-letter word could land an elementary student in detention, Organizing for America is embracing itwith the hope of earning cash. OFA is using Bidens now infamous phrase on a T-shirt to commemerate the signing of healthcare reform into law. Doners who give at least $25 will recive a 'limited edition' "Health Reform is a BFD" t-shirt.
As you know i commented earlier about Bidens mess up but now people are making money off of it? I know Biden isnt the smarted kid but really this takes the cake. Now people are using it to make money?? I just think its silly that someone is just like "hey, biden made a fool of himself again lets make a t-shirt" really?? what have we come to as a population? oh well...

OOPS!

After introducing the president, a microphone picks up Vice President Biden saying, "This is a big (expletive) deal!"
Even Biden knows that this is a make or break deal the future vote of the bill is still in the hands of our government. i guess we just have to stick around to findout what happens next...

Nixon campaign strategy: Race
President Nixon's campaign strategists hoped to create controversy among Democrats in the 1972 elections, according to a paper released Monday. the paper was titled "Dividing the Democrats" was found in the files of Nixon aide H. R. Haldeman. The paper was only signed as "RESEARCH". It layed out the perceived problems among Democrats that the GOP could use in helping Republican candidates win future elections. the tactics the stragigist came up with included distribution of bumper stickers that "should be spread out in the ghettoes of the country" calling for "black presidential and especially vice presidential candidates."
It also said, "we should do what is within our power to have a black nominated for Number Two at least at the Democratic National Convention." Its belived that this paper was written by aide Patrick Buchanan.
I find this really amusing. Its also amazing how stratigists in the seventies would think of a black president. Back in the 70's i WOULD have caused a break in support whites v. blacks so then the united republican side would win. Its funny how what was once thought to be a silly plan to breeak up a party acually was a winning stratigy 40 years later. We do have the first black president in a new era of understanding. so whats next? first asian, native american, woman, arab president? its exciting and interesting how in a few decades anything can become possible.

First Lady Announces $$ Support for Military Families
First Lady Michelle Obama joined military wives for lunch today to announce increased federal spending for military support programs.
Obama approved a 3% increase and it will help with counseling and support to spouses and families, spousal career development, as well as military child care and youth programs for military kids. The increase, will bring the total to around $8.8 billion for all federal projects like this one helping American families. So although may programs are being frozen, some programs are receiving help.

OBAMA - "Show me what you got" and "Bring it on"
In Nashua, NH, President Obama challenged republicans to "show me what you got" and "bring it on" when it comes to health care.
"What I have said is that both the House bill and the Senate bill were 90 percent there. Ten percent of each bill, people had some problems with, and legitimately so. So we were just about to clean those up, and then Massachusetts' election happened. Suddenly everybody says, oh, oh, it's over. Well, no, it's not over. We just have to make sure that we move methodically and that the American people understand exactly what's in the bill.
And what I've done is I've said to the Republicans, show me what you've got. You've been sitting on the sidelines criticizing what we're proposing. I'm happy to defend insurance reforms; I'm happy to defend the fact that we need to provide 30 million people with access to coverage; I'm happy to defend the need to provide small businesses an ability to pool so that they can have the same purchasing power that the big companies have and drive down their premiums and drive down their rates for their employees. I'm happy to have these debates. I just want to see what else you got. And if you've got a good idea, great."
I love how this problem is now being deflected onto the Republicans. It must be our fault! So if this was such a good idea many people would have pulled together to make this happen. But in the GREAT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. we all have diffrent opinions. We all dont have the same views, so its IMPOSSIBLE to make everyone happy. But for starters it doesnt help when you try shifting the blame...

Death Hits VP Family
Joe Biden's mother, called mom-mom, passed away at the age of 92. On the list of people attending the funeral included President Barack Obama, former President Bill Clinton, several Cabinet officials and members of Congress. Biden thanked Obama for treating his mother "with warmth and personal affection." Biden's mother was courageous and "taught her children that the thickest of all substances was blood." She helped Biden through rough times: when his wife and daughter were killed in a car crash in December 1972, the month after he was elected to the Senate.

RE: RE: battle for 2012 presidency
A class mate said "i cant keep from laughing... its a good thing we did not elect mccain. what would we do if he had gotten into the white house and decided he didnt want to play president anymore... WE WOULD HAVE PALIN! sweet jesus... thank god for Obama"
I’m sorry, I doubt someone could walk away from a position like that. EVER! Sure many people do not agree with Palin. But what is the worst she can do? we have learned that you cannot pass bills or laws without the public or congressional approval so if anything was TOO radical i doubt it would be passed. Also we learned about impeachment. I bet just like Andrew Johnson, if Palin was Way too conservative for modern America, they could impeach her. Problem solved. We will never know… . So please do not put people down, just because of your parent’s views. We don’t need a liberal version of Logan. Please use your brain. God gave you one for a reason....
