First you are all in for the TPP and now you are trying to block the Saudi 9/11 bill. Yes, I know this is from Fox, but hold off your attacks, The Democratic Senator Graham, in his own words, told all of us what is in the classified 28 pages of the report if you read between the lines of what he said.

(14,173 posts)Blair got a nice cushy position at the Carlyle Group after he made them a bunch of $ off the Iraq War. Obama with the TPP push and the whitewashing of the Saudis for 9/11 should land him in a nice spot somewhere after he leaves office.

PO going over there yesterday and then not being greeted in a friendly way scares the Bejesus out of me. To me, it's like walking straight into HELL. I guess he's going on to Germany when finished there? I'll be glad when he gets back home. Stop the TPP and eff the Saudi's!
Oh yes: John Podesta (who you will find close to Hillary's right arm) is a Saudi lobbyist.
Free the 28 pages!
I was afraid I'd have to go a whole thread without someone feeling the need to remind us that they don't like Clinton.
Thanks for sparing us!
... you're so welcome. Don't you think it's a good thing to connect the dots in all things political?

(2,169 posts)He told the world exactly what his policies were a few years ago.
"The truth of the matter is that my policies are so mainstream that if I had set the same policies that I had back in the 1980s, I would be considered a moderate Republican."- President Barack Obama
And we've all had countless examples, but for some reason these things are "forgotten" or something. One of his so called greatest accomplishments is a law that requires everyone to buy corporate insurance, which was a Heritage Foundation proposal. His point man Max Baucus had single payer doctor and nurse advocates arrested on Capitol Hill, and he promised a public insurance option but failed to deliver even that. Some even say he made a back room deal to quash it.
Remember any of this stuff?

Anybody remember George Bush pushing any democratic ideas?

(20,166 posts)So many of my friends and family eagerly jumped aboard the Obama bandwagon in '08, and I wanted to as well. I voted for him, but when I heard before the election how his inner circle had Geithner and Summers in it, I knew the proverbial score.
