In an unprecedented effort to kick start the economy with a blast of borrowed cash, President Obama has turned Washington’s spend on the rich while soaking the middle class business model upside down. This blockbuster of a budget changes the way things have been done for so long, it has left the Republican naysayer crews scrambling for a fresh mantra. The dog-eared and shop worn “Democrats only know how to tax and spend” has no audience anymore,
especially, when the spending is being done on the people for a change.

With a long overdue form of universal healthcare on the horizon, much needed relief on the way for financially stressed homeowners as well as the unemployed and under employed, many in the middleclass are beginning to get it; the highest echelons of income earners should kick in their fair share to bring this nation from the brink of financial disaster. After all, it was this same protected class that caused the economic collapse in the first place.

However, even though we can see the Present getting high marks from the masses, he is sure to be blasted by the faceless wealthy elite’s flunkies, masquerading as fiscal conservatives in the House of Representatives and the Senate. The President was wise to take his case to the people for approval first as he is going to need their full support and total buy in if this plan has the very slim hope of turning the tide.

With people losing their homes, their jobs, their healthcare for themselves and their families, along all hope for some, it is going to be very difficult for the Republicans to mount any kind of serious campaign negativity without offering a real alternative. So far, they appear like a rudderless vessel with worried weasel Bobby Jindal at the helm.

Thus far, the President has kept the majority of his campaign pledges much to the chagrin of the Republicans. As promised, the President is winding down the war in Iraq, making moves to end the no bid contracts, reporting the real military budget, putting the screws to purveyors waste and fraud in the current healthcare system and cracking down on corporate loopholes, among a multitude of other changes. Finally, we got somebody in the White House that is not only going to level with the American people, but level the playing field in the process.

Do we think President Obama is going to make all our dreams come true? No F-ing way, but if were lucky, he might help us avoid some of our worst nightmares. Click here for the podcast

We found this new program that offers an alternative point of view of the Gaza War between the Israeli government and the Palestinian militant group Hamas. We thought we’d share this with our audience as the mainstream media here in the states consistently fail to broadcast a full and accurate account of events surrounding this ongoing conflict. If you find the video interesting and or enlightening, let us know and we’ll try to provide more alternative sources of information that can not be readily available via America journalistic efforts

Barack Obama, known for his trademark inspirational speech making abilities will have to be at the top of his game tonight when he faces America with his administration’s plans to rescue the nation from the depths of financial despair. He is now the country’s top pitchman, charged with the awesome task of allaying the fears of workers and wannabe workers alike.

As if that were not enough, President Obama has to settle the markets down, ease the nerves of investors and shareholders, while considering the big question of; to nationalize or not to nationalize the nation’s biggest banks. Even still, the President has to make the country feel good about its future as it struggles painfully in this ugly present. All that being said; if anybody can get this job done it is Barack Obama.

However, as President, Obama’s playing days are over. He is sitting in the coach’s chair now and is relying on his team to execute the plans. Each presumable handpicked team member is going to have to produce and produce under extreme pressure, as the clock is running out.

With all the skills President Obama has to work with, he is facing a very vocal, nitpicking Republican opposition that appears content with simply looking for opportunities to criticize and mock his efforts. He has twofaced butt wipes like Congressmen Eric Canter to contend with, he has ass licks like Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal looking for his fifteen minutes of fame at the administration’s expense, he has another small group of small minded, shortsighted, southern political opportunists like Governor Haley Barbour of Mississippi, Texas Governor Rick Perry, South Carolina’s Governor Mark Sanford and of course Alaska’s wacky woman of the wild Sara Palin, all playing the usual games of saying no in public to wasteful Washington cash and then quietly grabbing all they can behind their constituent’s backs.

While a great speech, a bright smile, and an honest effort matched with a sharp mind will garner high approval ratings and the support of the populace, in order to win this losing battle the country is fighting, it’s going to take a lot more. And more has to come from the team the President has brought on to the court. Our most valuable player right now is Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. While he missed some easy shots at the beginning of the game and had to be benched for awhile, we need this guy to step up at this make or break moment. Unfortunately, Tiny Tim must have slipped into the locker room to throw up because he has been nowhere to be found as of late.

At a time when coach Obama has drawn up a last shot opportunity to tie the game with a drive to the basket, finishing off a two point lay up with a chance to get a foul called, we can’t find Tiny Tim Geithner anywhere. We need a guy that can not only ward off low bridging, cheap and dirty shot Republican defenders, but a guy that can be relied upon to hit the game tying free-throw. We need Tiny Tim to inspire the exhausted and bleary eyed fans, because we know he is going to hit nothing but net like Steve Nash of the Phoenix Suns and not come up short like Shaquille O’Neal. This ain’t hockey where there is a possible tie; this is B-Ball baby where there are only winners and losers.

We have gone way passed the games now, a point the Republicans just don’t get, for if we lose this contest, we don’t just miss the playoffs and get to try again next year, if we lose this game, the franchise folds. Click here for the podcast.
