Obama's Tragedy

Tragedy

“ Barack Obama was visiting a primary school and he visited one of the classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked the President if he would like to lead the discussion on the word "tragedy." So our illustrious President asked the class for an example of a "tragedy." One little boy stood up and offered: "If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be a tragedy." "No," said Obama, "that would be an accident." A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy." "I'm afraid not," explained Obama. "That's what we would call great loss." The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Obama searched the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?" Finally at the back of the room, Little Johnny raised his hand. In a quiet voice he said: "If the plane carrying you and Mrs. Obama was struck by a 'friendly fire' missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy." "Fantastic!" exclaimed Obama. "That's right. And can you tell me why that would be tragedy?" "Well," says the boy, "It has to be a tragedy, because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss...and it probably wouldn't be an accident either." ” Linda Sue O'Grady

“  Deacon Blues  From Suze Ormon: "Former President George W. Bush is personally responsible for the current financial crisis and should give every penny of his family fortune to the American people as a result." badanov  Cool: So we can bill Clinton for the Dot Bomb fiasco and for Enron. Thing From Snowy Mountain  Can we bill the democratic party for the consequences of exporting the US oil patch to Saudi Arabia? Sherry  Had a nagging thread of thought in the back of my mind, about this 90% tax. Sure enough -- a quick google, and this popped up at the top: Sen. Obama, who has taught courses in constitutional law at the University of Chicago, has regularly referred to himself as "a constitutional law professor," most famously at a March 30, 2007, fundraiser when he said, "I was a constitutional law professor, which means unlike the current president I actually respect the Constitution." This same professor was on Jay Leno while "his" Congress was voting on what many constitutional law professors have stated, is un-constitutional. Only those at the receiving end of this law (the bonus folks) can take this to court, to get a judgment on its validity. And already, some of these folks have moved their families, have police protection, etc... From the Counterterrism Blog today, Mafia, Mexican cartels, and terrorists rely heavily on three of their most important tradecraft tools to maintain power: corruption, intimidation and violence — the ‘hallmarks of organized crime.’ If they can’t corrupt you, they will intimidate you; if that doesn’t work, they will turn to brutal violence. Would you sue if you were one of the bonus receivers? Mike N.  At what point is everyone going to admit that the financial crisis has moved beyond AIG and is now tied up with investor anxiety over the pending remake of the economy in President Zero's image? Not until his financial backers and the press say "Son, I am disappoint!" Psst - that may be rat now! [Anger and Panic At Goldman Sachs Over 90% Tax ] ”
