These guys are too young to have an opinion yet. Plus they didn't vote for theOne but they'll be paying for him.

“SMART” DIPLOMACY (CONT’D):

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton opened her first extended talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov by giving him a present meant to symbolize the Obama administration’s vow to “press the reset button” on U.S.-Russia relations.

She handed a palm-sized box wrapped with a bow. Lavrov opened it and pulled out the gift: a red button on a black base with a Russian word peregruzka printed on top.

“We worked hard to get the right Russian word. Do you think we got it?” Clinton asked.

“You got it wrong,” Lavrov said.

Instead of “reset,” Lavrov said the word on the box meant “overcharge.”

The country’s in the very best of hands.

I would say that Alec Baldwin is signing up...but I expect he doesn't understand. Ah yes...tax everyone but me...

WSJ: Tax me if you can:

We're constantly told that taxes don't matter to business and investors, but listen to that noted supply-side economist, Alec Baldwin. The actor recently rebuked New York Governor David Paterson for threatening to try to help close the state's $7 billion budget deficit by canceling a 35% tax credit for films shot in the Big Apple.

"I'm telling you right now," Mr. Baldwin declared, "if these tax breaks are not reinstated into the budget, film production in this town is going to collapse, and television is going to collapse and it's all going to go to California." Well, well. Apparently taxes do matter, at least when it comes to filming "30 Rock" in Manhattan.....

Maybe Britain will be signing up soon. Where are the stupid quips? Guess they just don't understand theOne.

Quote:

A source close to Mr Obama's top team telephoned this newspaper last week to say that White House officials now regard it as "a mistake" to have returned the bust of Winston Churchill that the British government loaned George W. Bush - a story first reported by The Sunday Telegraph - and then to have sent the prime minister home with a gift of 25 DVDs after his visit to Washington.

"Clearly it was a mistake, and they want people to know that they know that," the source said. "There is a collective desire to learn from the experience. They pride themselves on attention to detail. They didn't have their eye on the ball... they all know they've got to do better."

your posts are getting stranger and stranger.

what does the post have to do with obama? the ny mayor isn't an obama supporter, isn't even a dem.

the issue is nothing to do with your statement "tax everyone but me", the issue is about relative production costs in different locations.

really, it seems that anything of contention is in your mind relatted to obama....get a grip.

Well Gordon Brown and the brits are officially on board. TheOne not only gives him a lame set of DVDs...but they won't even work in his player. Amateur hour.

Quote:

During the diplomatic kerfuffle over the President's gift to the British Prime Minister of a discount pack of The 25 Greatest Movies You've Already Seen A Zillion Times, I was happy to string along with the jokes that the US-format DVDs wouldn't work on UK machines. Yet, at the back of my mind, I didn't quite believe that even the Obamateur Hour crowd at the White House could be that clueless. Now it's official:

Quote:

While not exactly a film buff, Gordon Brown was touched when Barack Obama gave him a set of 25 classic American movies – including Psycho, starring Anthony Perkins - on his recent visit to Washington.

Alas, when the PM settled down to begin watching them the other night, he found there was a problem.

The films only worked in DVD players made in North America and the words "wrong region" came up on his screen...

Ah, well. The White House spokesman is said to have "sniggered" upon hearing the news.

Gotta add Mexico to the official list.

Democrats: We'll Improve Economy By Setting Off Trade War

The U.S. closed the southern border to Mexican trucking last week, a violation of the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Yesterday, Mexico retaliated by raising tariffs on nearly 100 U.S. products. The new tariffs will range from 10% to 45%.

Yea..that outta help.

Safe to say that the NEA is NOT having Buyers Remorse.

Letter to the Democrats in the House and Senate on DC Vouchers

March 05, 2009
Dear Senator:
The National Education Association strongly opposes any extension of the District of Columbia private school voucher (”DC Opportunity Scholarship”) program. We expect that Members of Congress who support public education, and whom we have supported, will stand firm against any proposal to extend the pilot program. Actions associated with these issues WILL be included in the NEA Legislative Report Card for the 111th Congress.

Vouchers are not real education reform. Pulling 1,200 children out of a system that serves 65,000 doesn’t solve problems - it ignores them. Real reform will put a qualified teacher in every classroom, keep their skills up to date with continuing education, and raise pay to attract and retain the best teachers. Rather than offering a chance for a few, we should be ensuring that every child has access to a great public school.

Opposition to vouchers is a top priority for NEA. Throughout its history, NEA has strongly opposed any diversion of limited public funds to private schools….

could you do a little, any, research before you post?

obama was opposed to stopping the program that allows mexican trucks into the usa, and wanted the funding to continue.

now he is working to get the truck program going again.

Quote:

A spokeswoman for the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, Debbie Mesloh, said Obama has told the office to work with Congress, the Transportation and State departments and Mexican officials to come up with legislation to create "a new trucking project that will meet the legitimate concerns" of Congress and U.S. commitments under the North American Free Trade Agreement.

so if you did not want the program stopped, you and obama both agree.
if you want the program working again, you and obama both agree.
