Origins of the financial "crisis" explained. . .

In the following video, it's plain that the Bush administration and Republicans have tried for YEARS to prevent the current financial crisis. Guess who added both fuel and the spark needed to elevate this into a crisis.

Watch the whole video, especially wait for the Clinton (President Bill) clip at the end.

NASA Chief hits a home-run. . .

I imagine that being the administrator of NASA is one of the toughest jobs in government). I also think that Michael Griffin has done an admirable job considering the rapidly changing environment that NASA finds itself in today.

I've quoted Griffin before, and I'm going to do it again.

"The single overarching goal of human space flight is the human settlement of the solar system, and eventually beyond. I can think of no lesser purpose sufficient to justify the difficulty of the enterprise, and no greater purpose is possible."

Did you know that NASA was 50???

NASA - One of the best sites on the internet.

Let's set the record straight about community organizers. . .

During her Emmy acceptance speechlet, actress Laura Linney made the statement:

"the great community organizers that helped form our country"

referring to the John Adams HBO mini-series and giving a nod to Democrat Presidential Nominee Barack Obama. Also:

"Our founding fathers were community organizers. And that is fact to me. And I feel that has been disparaged."

Let's set the record straight about Obama and our founding fathers as "community organizers."

John Adams was a lawyer and a farmer.
Thomas Jefferson was a lawyer, agronomist, musician, scientist, philosopher, author, architect, inventor, and statesman.
Sam Adams was an unsuccessful brewer, a clerk, an unsuccessful business man and a tax collector.
Benjamin Franklin was a businessman, writer, publisher and scientist.
(Here is a link to the bios of the signers of the Declaration of Independence)

Obama was hired by ACORN to be a "community organizer". ACORN is an international liberal activism group responsible for multiple instances of voter fraud. Also, in 2006, according to the WSJ "House Democrats pushed an "affordable housing trust fund" designed to use Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac profits to subsidize ACORN".

It is INSULTING to our founding fathers to equate them this way.

PS As an atheist, I really get a kick out of the "Jesus was a 'community organizer'" meme that circulates amonst the left. I can't really think of something that would me more offensive to a Christian and perhaps it's the faux Christianity that the left likes to portray that has caused them to fall into this trap. To suggest that Jesus was taking a low level job with international political action groups getting their funding from the Roman government; and that Jesus was going around taking census and holding peoples hands as they petitioned local government officials is simply absurd. Let's not mention that Jesus according to Christians and others ACTUALLY DID STUFF, while the communities Obama "organized" are generally worse off than they were before Obama.

Boy George endorses Obama. . .

Well, all righty then, that seals it for me.

Seriously, if you watch that video, and as a result of said watching. . . you think, somehow, that Barack Obama is "your kinda president", then please, don't ever bothering speaking to me again. In fact, don't ever bother reading this blog again, just ban this URL in your firewall settings.

I understand completely that Obama definately probably had no hand in the production of said video. I'll grant that they maybe probably did not approve of it. This may not be the Boy George Barack Obama thought he knew.

It's the messiah-ness of Obama's campaign. The examples are legion and too many to list at this point.

So, once again, if that video increased in any way, any positive feelings you may have of Obama's race for the Presidency of the United States, just turn around and go away now.
