HEADSUP - Obama coming- upThat fugging lame duck Obama has ruled the airways for more than 24 hours

Last edited Sun Jan 17, 2016, 11:42 AM - Edit history (1)

I hope he doesn't say a word until tonight.

One more thing - why do M$Greedia continue to say that US-Iranian tensions began in 1979 - are they unaware of theFACT that the US overthrew the democratically elected leader of Iran decades before that.

GObama and Kerry!!!

I was a child in Reagan and Bush 1 years. Bush 2 was never elected, I consider his term an illegal coup whose architects have never faced justice. But then again, it was Obama who said we needed to move forward and did not punish the criminals of the prior decade.

he would be a super star. Maybe being President isn't really comparable to playing sports.

Amir Hekmati is free and we are getting emergency aid for the water crisis.

As for the disaster aid request being turned down, I think that money should come directly from the personal funds of the Snyder administration.

I know his story hasn't been big national news, but the community and Congressman Kildee have never stopped trying to obtain his freedom.

This has always been a great city but I think now, more than ever, Flint has become a very cohesive community. Most stories about our city concentrate on the negative - crime, unemployment, poverty. It's too bad they don't see the real Flint and the great people who live here.

It was all about those baaaad Muslim fanatics.
And of course no reporting on the fishy timing of the hostage release, either.

Now, we've had 3 Bush traitors in some kind of federal office, starting with Prescott financing the Nazi war machine and GW's being complicit with 9/11 and starting a war on totally false pretenses.

It doesn't fit the preferred narrative of the MIC that starts with the hostages because that happened when a Dem was president.

Unless it serves, like 9/11, to increase the power of the MIC, especially in our own country and the middle east. They are totally a player in this scene.
