I wanted to focus on the right targeting Michelle Obama because the idiocy really kills me! What the hell is wrong with those idiots? They just do not care about our America! I also wanted to discuss the worlds enthusiasm in seeing Bush leave if it happens and in seeing Obama elected. I was also struck that Exxon/Mobil is selling its 2,200 gas stations because they are not profitable. Hmm! but as usual I again have to digress and talk about something else as today is all about records that no one wants to see!
First: The cost of living rose in May as consumers were belted by energy costs, the government said Friday. The Consumer Price Index, a key inflation reading, rose 4.2% through the 12 months ended in May, according to the Labor Department. This compared to an increase of 3.9% during the 12 months ended in April. For the month of May, overall CPI rose 0.6%, compared to an increase of 0.2% in April. That's the biggest increase since last November, when the overall CPI surged 0.9%. A consensus of analysts interviewed by Briefing.com had projected an increase of 0.5% for May. The dramatic increase in energy costs were largely responsible for the overall inflation. Energy costs rose 4.4% in May, and surged 17.4% over the 12 months ending in May, the Labor Department said.
"These (CPI) numbers are nowhere near to what we're seeing in the real world," said Peter Beutel, energy analyst for Cameron Hanover, who believed the "real" cost of living has increased at a higher rate than the index shows. "But even these diluted numbers are showing that inflation is getting uglier and uglier and uglier." Beutel said this puts more pressure on the Federal Reserve to increase the federal funds rate, which he thinks could happen in August or September. The rate is currently at 2%. "The higher that inflation is, the sooner the Fed has to raise rates to help keep a lid on prices," said Beutel. The index for fuel oil rose 10.4% in May and soared 64% over the 12 months. The gasoline index rose 5.7% in May and surged 20.8% on a year-over-year basis. The index for natural gas rose 5.6% in May, and was up 16.5% over the last year.
* Electricity costs also increased, but less dramatically, edging up 0.9% in May, and rising 5.8% over the last 12 months. As a result, transportation costs increased 2% in May, and jumped 8.1% over the 12 months ending in May. The index for household energy costs climbed 2.8% in May, its fourth consecutive jump, the Labor Department said. The price of food also pushed up overall costs. Food costs increased 0.3% in May, and jumped 5.1% during the 12 months ending in May. The price of milk was a big influence on the overall price, increasing 10.2% over the 12 months, despite slipping 0.7% in May.The cost of clothing was the one area where consumers got some relief. Apparel costs deflated 0.2% in May, and decreased 0.4% over the 12 months.The core CPI, which excludes the cost of food and energy, rose 0.2% in May, compared to an increase of 0.1% in April. A consensus of analysts interviewed by Briefing.com had projected an increase of 0.2% for May. Inflation getting 'uglier and uglier'
* It will get much uglier as these records will be broken! Plus The housing crisis grew worse in May, as more than 73,000 American families lost their homes to bank repossessions, up a staggering 158% from the 28,548 households that were dispossessed in May 2007. Foreclosure filings of all kinds, including default notices, notices of sheriff's sales and bank repossessions, were up 48% from May 2007, according to the latest release from RealtyTrac, the online marketer of foreclosed properties. Filings increased 7% from April. "May was the 29th straight month we've seen a year-over-year increase," RealtyTrac's CEO James Saccacio said in a statement. The report follows months of increasingly gloomy housing market conditions with home prices, existing home sales and new housing starts all plummeting. The S&P Case/Shiller Home Price Index posted a record 14.1% decline in national home prices for the 12 months ending March 31, while April's existing-home sales were down 17.5% year over year.
Worst-hit cities: Nevada remained the most troubled default state for the 17th consecutive month. One out of every 118 households there received some kind of foreclosure filing during May, up 24% from the previous month and 72% from a year ago. California led the nation in the sheer volume of filings, with nearly 72,000 properties in some stage of default, which works out to one out of every 183 households. More than 20,000 Californians lost their homes, more than any other state. "Remember, as California goes so goes the Nation"
Also Florida recorded over 37,000 filings and 4,300 bank repossessions. Nine of the top 10 cities with the most foreclosure filings were in either Florida or California. Stockton, Calif., was the worst-hit city last month, with one filing for every 75 households. Cape Coral, Fla., where one out of every 79 homes received a filing, was second. Other hard-hit places were Merced, Calif., which ranked third, Modesto, Calif., which was fourth and Riverside, Calif., which was fifth. Las Vegas was the only city outside of California and Florida to crack the top 10. In May it had one filing for every 96 households - about five times the national average - which put it in sixth place. Default rates will rise for many more months, according to RealtyTrac vice president Rick Sharga, who thinks that there could be another 18 months of this activity left. Several factors will continue to boost filings. 73,000 homes lost to foreclosure in May Filings for the month jumped by 48%
* We are on target to break last years record of a million foreclosures. Another record no one wants. Finally the upper Midwest continues to flood setting many records no one wants to see! We are seeing a historic hydrological event taking place with unprecedented river levels occurring," said Brian Pierce, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Davenport, Iowa. "We're in uncharted territory -- this is an event beyond what anybody could even imagine." Iowa Gov. Chet Culver declared 83 of the state's 99 counties state disaster areas. Nine rivers are at or above historic flood levels. Amtrak's California Zephyr line was suspended across Iowa because of flooding along the BNSF Railway. No deaths or serious injuries were reported in Iowa, but two men died in their cars in southern Minnesota and western lower Michigan.
In Wisconsin, amphibious vehicles that carry tourists on the Wisconsin River were used to evacuate homes and businesses in Baraboo, north of Madison. Hundreds of people lost power in Avoca, west of Madison, and were "strongly encouraged" to evacuate due to flooding, said Chief Deputy Jon Pepper of the Iowa County Sheriff's Department. Violent thunderstorms Thursday and Friday brought widespread flooding to Michigan's Lower Peninsula that authorities say left some roads and bridges unstable or impassable. Authorities in Mason County advised drivers to stay off the roads unless it was an emergency, and the county closed or barricaded more than a dozen roadways. People in several northern Missouri communities, meanwhile, were piling up sandbags to prepare for flooding in the Missouri River, expected to crest over the weekend, and a more significant rise in the Mississippi River expected Wednesday.
Despite all the water in Cedar Rapids, there was precious little for toilets, cleaning, or drinking. Koch said the city is at critical levels and only one of the city's six wells was operating. "If we lost that one we would be in serious trouble. Basically we are using more water than we are producing," he said. "We really need to reduce the amount of water we are using ... even using paper plates, hand sanitizer." Similarly, the town of Lawrenceville, Illinois, grappled with a broken water system that left businesses with no usable tap water, forcing them to close. "We're just kind of at God's mercy right now, so hopefully people that never prayed before this, it might be a good time to start," Linn County Sheriff Don Zeller said. "We're going to need a lot of prayers and people are going to need a lot of patience and understanding." Prisoners had to be moved from the Linn County jail, including some inmates who had been transferred from the Benton County jail in Vinton because of flooding. The sheriff's office also was underwater, Zeller said. The surging river caused part of a railroad bridge and about 20 hopper cars loaded with rocks to collapse into the river. The cars had been positioned on the bridge in hopes of weighing it down against the rising. Misery grows in upper Midwest as more records continue to be broken, watch the videos by State
** I don't have to say anything just hold on as all these records and many more will continue to be broken!

Update on US records no one wants and worse they will be crushed in the near and distant Future!
Thursday, June 12, 2008
On a good note Obama's lead on McCain is growing! Will there be elections? America and the worlds growing violence due to conditions beyond control!

First I was sent this video by a friend today and it goes perfecly with this and being comedy it is Short but funny and perfect On a good note Obama's lead on McCain is growing! But will there be elections? Now America and the worlds growing violence due to conditions beyond our control!
Barack Obama is continuing to extend his lead over John McCain in a head-to-head matchup nationwide, a new CNN poll of polls indicates. check out the latest polls Just wait until they have face to face debates!
Now let's talk about reality as I don't even believe there will be elections in this Democratic facade as worsening conditions continue to increase life's difficulties and the growing unrest and violence is beyond our control, just beginning ,and will get much worse!
First historically America may be the most violent country in the world when compared to other industrialized nations. violence is deeply rooted in American society, and has become woven into the fabric of American lifestyle. violence invades our intimate relationships, our schools, and our work environments.
Too many people consider violence an acceptable strategy for conflict resolution, exerting power and control, obtaining possessions, and satisfying emotional desires. Violence is even entertainment, glamorized in the behavior of both real and fantasy hero's. Crime and violence have been a part of American society since America was founded. The publics awareness of crime, violence, domestic abuse, child abuse, and gangs has increased dramatically. The media plays an important role in public awareness of violence. We are bombarded daily with reports on television, radio, newspapers, and the Internet with the fact that we are all vulnerable to acts of violence.
Crime increased dramatically between 1960 and 1975, showing an increase of 232 percent. During these years the murder rate increased 50 percent.. During the 1980's and 1990s public awareness of domestic violence and child abuse increased. During the 1990's there were school shooting sprees in Colorado, Mississippi, Georgia, Arkansas, Kentucky and Oregon that brought violence in schools to the forefront of public awareness. In late 1999 a Texas church rally was the scene of another tragic shooting. Not only did our schools start feeling unsafe, but even our most sacred place, the church became unsafe.
The increase of violence, and our awareness of violence, changes the way we live. Fear of violence, crime, and gangs can make us feel like prisoners in our own homes. Unsafe feeling neighborhoods can make us feel unsafe about going out at night. In some neighborhoods, children are killed in drive by shootings at schools, on the streets, in neighborhoods, in playgrounds and even in their own homes. There are many people, both adults and children, that carry guns, knives and chemical sprays for protection. violence in America
Despite the FBI being happy saying violent crime is falling after rising for two years. most people know this is ridiculous
It is growing daily as life for Americans gets more difficult daily and the conditions that lead to increased violence and insurrection are just beginning and worsening daily. Just a few interesting links if you are curious! I was going to show you a link to musicians worrying about getting killed in the big easy but you know how violent New Orleans has become along with Boston, New York City, Chicago, Washington DC, and it seems every hub in America has become both because of citizens and increasing stress and an overzealous Public Police force using whatever force they want necessary or not! Just a few reasons and examples why this violence is just beginning and will get much worse necessitating us being controlled even further.
Bernanke is equally as asinine! Despite a recent spike in the nation's unemployment rate, the danger that the economy has fallen into a "substantial downturn" appears to have waned, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Monday. Risk of major downturn 'diminished, look at this hogwash
* Fuel to heat your home and drive your car is going up every single day adding further to the daily stress of not just trying to heat your home and drive to work but just being able to afford the food you want!
* While this entire mess in our society is just beginning and authorities are declaring victory Americans are changing how they shop to combat high food prices. iReporters say they're planning trips to the grocery store with military precision -- arming themselves with coupons and making sure they're in the right shoppers' clubs to get the best deals. Others are looking even closer to home: buying in bulk from the local dairy on behalf of co-workers or just growing food in their yard. Eric Hubbard of Knoxville, Tennessee, says he pays about twice as much for food as he did in 2007. "Add to this the difference in the cost of gas," Hubbard says, "and it becomes apparent the problem that American families are facing." eating and surviving are just begging to become a way of life
The elderly are taking a big hit as High prices for gas and food have hit the Meals on Wheels program from two directions as it runs a financial deficit and loses the volunteers who deliver food to vulnerable seniors. In Albuquerque the program is tightening its own belt even as recipients tighten theirs. Meals on Wheels gets low-cost and sometimes even free warm food to housebound seniors. Often it's the seniors' only contact with the outside world. But now, that link is in danger. economic double whammy hits Elderly and meals on wheels
Meanwhile The number of laid-off workers filing for first-time unemployment benefits jumped last week, the government said Thursday, as lawmakers prepare to vote on a bill to extend unemployment assistance. lawmakers debate jobless extension yeah
This is happening around the world and it is just beginning and will get much worse! Auto plants in Spain were paralyzed and Portugal's main airport banned planes from refueling Wednesday as a third day of strikes by thousands of truckers caused heightened chaos and shortages. Truckers in Thailand also threatened to strike next week while their counterparts in South Korea plan to stop work on Friday, as the outrage over soaring fuel prices intensified around the world. Tens of thousands of truck drivers launched stoppages in France, Portugal and Spain on Monday to demand government help to cope with the rising price of fuel caused by rocketing oil prices, which last week reached almost 140 dollars a barrel.
The protests have paralyzed roads, causing huge tailbacks, notably on the French-Spanish border and around major Spanish cities, and left supermarkets short of fresh produce and some petrol stations without supplies. Two strikers were run over by vehicles and killed at picket lines on Tuesday. The Spanish auto plants of Seat, Nissan, Renault, PSA Peugeot Citroen and Mercedes Benz said they had cut or halted production as the strike left them short of parts. In Belgium, the Volvo and Audi auto plants said they would be forced to close from Thursday due to the strike in Spain. In Portugal, the strike hit air transport as fuel shortages forced authorities at Lisbon airport to ban planes from refueling, except those on high priority flights. "We cannot refuel any planes, except those on urgent, military or state flights," a spokesman for the airport authority, Rui Oliveira, told Lusa news agency. The European Commission on Wednesday called on EU nations to take targeted action to help those most vulnerable deal with high oil prices. Global protests escalate
* This is just getting started and like the rest of the situations in the world will not be quelled by anyone despite the rhetoric. Conditions will worsen around the world not just here. Chaos will be the order of the day! Conditions associated with a declining situation creating violence and unrest will worse despite what the Feds or Bernanke or anyone else thinks or regardless of what happens this fall. Again I say don't sweat it just hunker down and be prepared!

Bush tells Europe No regrets over attacking Iraq(n) as he continues his real goal of war with Iran!
more shortly! Used enough force but too much mouth this guy is a friggen war mongering idiot!
What a friggen idiot. He just can't shut up! President Bush, in an interview with the Times of London, acknowledged that using gun-slinging rhetoric in the past made the world see him as a "guy really anxious for war" in Iraq, and he aims to leave a legacy of international diplomacy for tackling Iran. In the interview, he expressed regret at the bitter divisions over the war and said that he was troubled about how the United States had been misunderstood. "I think that in retrospect I could have used a different tone, a different rhetoric," he said. Phrases such as "bring them on" or "dead or alive," he said, "indicated to people that I was, you know, not a man of peace." He also told the Times he found it very painful "to put youngsters in harm’s way," adding "I try to meet with as many of the families as I can. And I have an obligation to comfort and console as best as I possibly can. I also have an obligation to make sure that those lives were not lost in vain."
Bush said that his focus for his final six months in office was to secure agreement on issues such as establishing a Palestinian state and to "leave behind a series of structures that makes it easier for the next president." He is concerned that Barack Obama, if he is elected president, might open cracks in the West’s united front towards Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. And he is convinced that when his successor arrives and assesses "what will work or what won’t work in dealing with Iran," the new president will stick with the current policy. Bush's comments echo those made The interview comments follow comments Bush made in May to the Israeli Knesset that were interpreted by some as an attack on Obama's willingness to meeting with leader of Iran and others. Bush criticized politicians who would negotiate with "terrorists and radicals" and compared that approach to the appeasement of the Nazis prior to World War II. Bush Disputes War-Hungry Image, Affirms Tough Stance Toward Iran
What a friggen idiot! he is making it more difficult by the minute! At the same time, he is doing his damnedest to ensure we are there forever! President Bush said Wednesday he is confident the United States would reach an agreement on the role of U.S. forces in Iraq, calling opposition to a U.S. proposal part of the "noise" of a freer Iraqi society. Bush, appearing at a news conference here with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, said that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki "appreciates our presence there" and suggested that much of the local opposition to a status of forces agreement was based on inaccurate media reports and misunderstandings.
"There's all kinds of noise in their system and our system," Bush said. ". . . I think we'll get the agreement done." Top Iraqi officials are calling for a dramatic reduction of the U.S. role in Iraq after the United Nations mandate for the U.S. military presence in the country expires later this year. Iraqi critics complain that the agreement proposed by the United States would turn Iraq into a virtual colony and allow the United States to maintain nearly 60 bases in their country indefinitely.
Bush administration officials say a deal is necessary to preserve order in the battered country, and that a new agreement "will not involve permanent bases, nor will it bind any future president to troop levels." Bush's remarks followed a meeting with Merkel at Schloss Meseberg, a restored 18th century Prussian manor house that now serves as the German government guest house. Bush visited Merkel as part of a farewell tour of Europe that will take him to Rome later Wednesday and then to Paris and London. At the news conference, Merkel echoed Bush in warning Iran that the European Union could pursue additional penalties if the regime in Tehran does not allow open inspections of its uranium enrichment efforts. The chancellor told German reporters on Monday that Bush's impending departure will usher in a "a new period" or "a new time" -- translations differed -- in transatlantic relations. Bush Confident Iraq Troop Level Agreement Will Be Reached as he instigates war with Iran
Noise! a free Democratic Iraq! Yeah like a Democratic America! He wants peace! He is not a war monger! He just wants to stay in Iraq until he can attack Iran and things are heating up with Pakistan! Peace President my Eye!

Once again I must digress from covering very important events as McClellan will testify before the House in CIA leak case! Is it too late? First...

I wanted to discuss our growing environmental crises, then I moved to our still just beginning economic crises that Bernanke stupidly thinks will get better. I also wanted to discuss the very real possibility that Israel will attack Iran before our elections giving Bush the excuse to come to their rescue and cancel our elections. I also wanted to discuss the Right's growing concern that McCain is unprepared to take on Obama as I firmly believe and am banking on watching him implode. I then moved to Republican Politicians increasingly losing control of every State and everything as we need to happen and they certainly deserve. However once again I must digress as the unraveling of Bush's orchestrated underhanded nightmare is increasingly coming to light though I firmly believe it is too late to do anything about it!Anyway from Rep. Wexler: I am pleased to announce to you that the House Judiciary Committee has met my public call for Scott McClellan's immediate testimony with action: Today, Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers officially invited Mr. McClellan to testify under oath on Friday, June 20th at 10AM. After all of our hard work pushing for impeachment hearings for Vice President Cheney
What role did President Bush, Vice President Cheney , and key administration officials take in the effort to reveal the identity of covert CIA agent Valeria Plame Wilson – thus destroying her network and putting lives in jeopardy?
What role did President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and key administration officials take regarding the firing of U.S. Attorneys or political reasons?
What role did President Bush, Vice President Cheney, key administration officials take in conspiring to blatantly break U.S. and International laws prohibiting the use of torture?
I decided to go with this once I found the subject being covered on Faux and thought it might be too late at this point but maybe something will finally proceed with this crap, deceit, and treason. President Bush's former spokesman, Scott McClellan, will testify before a House committee next week about whether Vice President Dick Cheney ordered him to make misleading public statements about the leaking of CIA agent Valerie Plame's identity. McClellan will testify publicly and under oath before the House Judiciary Committee on June 20 about the White House's role in the leak and its response, his attorneys, Michael and Jane Tigar, said on Monday.

Bush is on his European "Get Riddance" Tour as the G8 warns of Global Recession! Duh Yah think? Look at all we have Bush to thank for!


Sadly Bush has yet to do his worst! but President George W. Bush's motorcade will speed through European capitals this week, but for many Europeans, the Bush presidency is already in their rearview mirrors.Trans-Atlantic relations are on the upswing as European leaders have moved beyond their anger over the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. Anti-Bush sentiment runs high on the streets, but that is being mollified by excitement among Europeans about the race to replace Bush. Like many Americans, Europeans are showing signs of Bush fatigue. Many believe Barack Obama and John McCain will have different positions - and perhaps more favorable - than Bush on issues important to Europe. The U.S. president continues to promote his agenda on issues like climate change, peace in the Middle East and world trade, yet his influence has ebbed. Bush on European Good Riddance Tour
Yesterday the G8 was meeting in Japan to hopefully quell this just developing Unstoppable global economic crisis
Meanwhile while bush is still going to be making demands on Europe like us they have nothing to be thankful for except surviving Bush
Now look at this! A Special Thank You To George W Bush By Ted Twietmeyer
There is a lot more as you all experience daily. I just want to say thanks for solving our fuel addiction and obesity. We are just supposed to die now right? what would you like to add?

Keeping abreast of the worsening environment it is only June the North East is in a heat wave but I want to discuss the Midwest Indiana specifically!


Severe storms crippled central Indiana with as much as 10 inches of rain Saturday and spawned tornadoes that ripped up roofs and flipped tractor-trailers in Wisconsin and the Chicago suburbs. The floods in Indiana threatened dams, inundated highways and forced the Coast Guard to rescue residents from swamped homes. To the northwest, Chicago-area residents ran for cover as tornadoes touched down throughout the region. Wisconsin had a few tornado injuries, and at least one injury was reported near Chicago. Indiana had been spared any reported deaths or injuries. "At this point, mercifully, we believe all Hoosiers are secure," Gov. Mitch Daniels said at a news conference. "We hope that will continue."
Daniels declared an emergency in 17 counties as the Coast Guard was called in to help with flooding that has forced hundreds of people from their homes. Ninety percent of the small town of Paragon, southwest of Indianapolis, was underwater, State Homeland Security Director Joe Wainscott said. Water reached the first floor of Johnson Memorial Hospital in Franklin, but no patients had to be moved, county Commissioner Tom Kite said. "We have dams failing in the Prince's Lakes area," threatening the town of Nineveh, about 30 miles south of Indianapolis, Kite said. Indiana State Police reported evacuations in the Lake Lemon area about 10 miles northeast of Bloomington. Dams near Gold Point were close to collapse, police said. Interstate 70 was closed in Clay County in west-central Indiana, and Interstate 65 and another major route, U.S. 31, both were closed near Franklin.
In western Indiana, water more than a foot deep surrounded homes on Terre Haute's east side. U.S. 41 was the only route open into Terre Haute, and it was down to one lane by mid-afternoon. J.D. Kesler, deputy director of the Vigo County Emergency Management Agency, said more than 200 people had to be rescued from their homes, vehicles and nursing homes there.More than 30,000 electricity customers lost power, the Indiana Utilities Regulatory Commission said. Near Chicago, Will County Sheriff's Department spokesman Pat Barry said a tornado damaged several homes in the Wilmington area and toppled trees and power lines. A person was injured on Interstate 57 in the southern suburbs, and a swath of the major highway closed as authorities worked to clear overturned trucks, said State Trooper Mark Dorencz. Tornadoes were also reported in Lake County, north of the city, and in Livingston County, to the southwest. Central and southeastern Wisconsin were pelted with baseball-size hail in a storm that blew roofs off homes, toppled trees and power lines, and injured at least six people.Flooding built up around Milwaukee, where water as deep as 2 feet in roads caused parked cars to drift and closed parts of an interstate highway. Midwest storms bring floods and twisters
We now know The Indiana Department of Homeland Security said Sunday morning that two people had died as a result of flooding, but did not immediately release details. One of the fatalities was confirmed in Columbus. Record flooding was ongoing Sunday morning on the White, Flatrock and Wabash rivers. About 150 residents were evacuated from a nursing home in Morgan County. More than 250 patients and employees were evacuated from Columbus Regional Hospital late Saturday. Authorities said anyone with relatives who were at the hospital can call 812-372-3789 to find out where they have been taken. The hospital is expected to be closed for some time. State Homeland Security Director Joe Wainscott said Saturday that officials had no idea how many evacuations had taken place, many by boat, but no fewer than several hundred homes and businesses were affected. The U.S. Coast Guard, National Guard, Indiana Task Force One and local agencies were involved in rescues.
Ninety percent of the small town of Paragon, southwest of Indianapolis, was underwater Saturday morning, Wainscott said. Flooding was also extensive in Terre Haute and Spencer, he said. Johnson County Emergency Management Director Forrest Sutton told 6News that the flooding was "likely the largest and most costly disaster we've ever had." Gov. Mitch Daniels issued a new disaster declaration because of flooding in 10 counties, separate from the one he issued Friday for 41 counties because of storm damage. Those counties are: Brown, Clay, Greene, Johnson, Monroe, Morgan, Owen, Shelby, Vermillion and Vigo. The U.S. Coast Guard dispatched two rescue helicopters to Indianapolis, where they could be sent to flooded areas as needed. A scuba team had performed swift-water rescues and helped evacuate homes in Johnson County, sheriff's dispatcher Zachary Elliott said.
Dams in the county failed in the Prince's Lakes area, threatening the town of Nineveh about 30 miles south of Indianapolis, county Commissioner Tom Kite said. Water had reached the first floor of Johnson Memorial Hospital in Franklin, Kite said. Cars were submerged up to their windshields in the county government building parking lot, and Indiana National Guard troops rerouted traffic around the main street through Franklin. Numerous Roads Closed; Some Roads Washed Out Eastbound lanes of Interstate 70 reopened in Clay County late Saturday, but westbound lanes remained closed because part of the interstate had collapsed. Motorists were detoured in the area. Interstate 65 reopened in both directions at about 9 p.m. Saturday after it was blocked for several hours near Franklin.
U.S. 31 was closed in Johnson and Bartholomew counties, stranding many motorists who had no place else to go. In Morgan County, state roads 67 and 37 were both closed. Statewide, 25 state and interstate highways remain closed, homeland security officials said. Numerous county roads in the affected areas were damaged or had bridges that were washed out. Record Flooding Expected as Hundreds of rescues were made Saturday as flooding ravaged a large part of central Indiana. Please look at the multitudes of Blogs and videos so you can keep up with this!
* This was A downpour that included an apparent state record of 11 inches in Edinburgh, Ind., soaked an area between Terre Haute and Bloomington Saturday, sending rivers over their banks and sweeping away vehicles, the Indianapolis Star reported. The fatality was reported in Columbus, Ind., where authorities found a man dead in his flooded car. Floodwaters were expected to recede Sunday, authorities said. National Guard troops fanned out across the area searching for flooding victims as patients in a Columbus hospital were evacuated to escape rising floodwaters. The Star reported many roads and highways in central Indiana were closed due to standing water. The severe weather came only two days after Indiana was raked by tornadoes that resulted in disaster area declarations for 41 counties, the newspaper reported. "Mother Nature has landed another one on our chin," Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels said after he declared an additional 18 counties disaster areas Saturday. Hold on!

The Bush Bubbles: War Bubble, Housing Bubble, oil bubble, energy bubble, economic bubble survival bubble, who needs a terrorist attack? Bush!

Amidst this the stupid idiot continues to play the fool! White House counselor Ed Gillespie said aides to Bush are constantly looking at options for new economic proposals. "There's a short window for the president here when it comes to new policy. We understand that," Gillespie said. "So I guess what I'm saying is, don't rule it out." Gillespie spoke before a Bush speech on the economy, timed around the ceremonial swearing-in of the president's new housing secretary, Steven Preston. In his remarks, Bush stuck to promoting his existing economic policies. The government's $168 billion stimulus package, passed in February, began getting tax rebate checks to people last month and helped to energize shoppers. "We're beginning to see signs that the stimulus may be working," Bush said at the Department of Housing and Urban Development. But analysts believe consumers still are anxious, and a weakening job market could make people feel less inclined to spend. This, and talk that the economy already has fallen into its first recession since 2001, has led to questions about whether a second stimulus might be warranted.
Bush noted that a surge of young new entrants to the job market contributed to the worse-than-expected new numbers. But, he said, "It's clearly a sign that is consistent with slow economic growth." "This is a time of turbulence in the housing market and slow growth for our overall economy," the president said. Preston, formerly the head of the Small Business Administration, is to be Bush's point man on the slumping housing market and subprime lending crisis. He is likely to be the administration's lead negotiator as Congress and the White House work on legislation to allow the Federal Housing Administration to insure up to $300 billion in refinanced mortgages, including many in which the mortgages exceed the value of their homes. Bush Looking Beyond Stimulus to Spur Sluggish Economy, Aide Says
This friggen guy is sickening! our problems aren't because of young new entrants to the job market. It is because of one Decider one chief idiot! Yesterday in relation to a discussion on the fact that an attack on Iran is now imminent Larry who is just a wealth of information sent me a very timely article but I am afraid a terrorist attack before the election allowing Bush to cancel this facade of an election process and take control of us and his wars will just be the icing on the cake. It has been allowed to build up! Failing infrastructure, multiple natural disasters still not addressed, Oil prices going through the roof, gas prices, loss of homes, loss of jobs, an allowed timely so called terrorist attack would put the icing on the cake. We are in serious trouble here and I am sick of not being able to tell the truth! we better do something and quick!

Yesterday's needless public Dismissal after yesterday's conversations and this mornings news tells me preparations to attack Iran are done, attack...

Yesterday we were told The top military and civilian leaders of the U.S. Air Force were forced out Thursday over the handling of nuclear weapons.
Air Force officials ousted over nuclear gaffes
While I will be the first to acknowledge there were a few mistakes made during conversations yesterday I started thinking their removal or so called 'resignation" was not normal. I kept going over and over that story and a lot stinks. My first thought is what is the real reason they are letting the two on the top go? Are they against something else Bush has planned. You wouldn't know this but my Air Force time was spent moving and guarding nuclear weapons, "hot" aircraft, and nuclear convoys. You do not just move and load those things unmarked and with just a few people knowing. From beginning to end everyone is a specialist. Needless to say something really stinks here too! If you were going to go after someone it would be the pilots or the Commanders on the base level that would have okayed and monitored the move to that air craft. Trust me that is what I did and it just doesn't happen by itself. The 2 fired wouldn't even know what aircraft anything was on! You also know when the attack comes it will primarily but not exclusively come from the carriers in the Gulf. it is not another so called coincidence that there is a command experienced Admiral in charge of all this.
Yesterday Wease also said It sounds like they plan to launch a two-pronged attack. my response: You know, you could be right and don't forget about Israel! Depending on whether or not the right thinks they can steal this election too this attack could come soon. Well! Please check many numerous past posts and for years now I have been saying coming to Istrael's aid is one of the ways Bush can get into this. anyway today's info on preparations and the imminence of the attack on Iran!
From two different reports today we hear Israel will attack Iran if it doesn't abandon its nuclear program, a Cabinet minister hoping to replace embattled Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was quoted Friday as saying. Transportation Minister Shaul Mofaz also said Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad "will disappear before Israel does," the Yediot Ahronot daily reported. Ahmadinejad has called repeatedly for Israel's destruction. Mofaz's spokeswoman did not immediately return a call seeking comment on the remarks, which were much more explicit than anything Olmert himself has said. Olmert has gone no further than hinting that Israel was prepared to use force against Iranian nuclear facilities, saying only Tuesday that "the Iranian threat must be stopped by all means. " According to the newspaper report, Mofaz — a former chief of staff and defense minister — has concluded that international sanctions haven't curbed Tehran's nuclear ambitions.
You know damn well Iran's program is going to continue and when Israel and Bush attack Iran Russian forces in Iran have orders to defend their numerous interests there. Bush has Iran totally surrounded as many of you know. he can attack from the air from the "Stans" and from the gulf. He can take on Pakistan at the same time without any additional ground troops. Today we also learned The U.S. military intercepted a ballistic missile Thursday in the first such sea-based test since a Navy cruiser shot down an errant satellite earlier this year. The military fired the target, a Scud-like missile with a range of a few hundred miles, from a decommissioned amphibious assault ship near Hawaii's island of Kauai.

On the 40th Anniversary of RFK'S assassination a reminder that we must keep Obama alive and not have History repeat itself!
Robert Rouse's Latest and Greatest!

Forty years ago today, the dream died again. Robert Kennedy, gunned down in a Los Angeles hotel kitchen, clutched a rosary handed to him by a busboy as he bled from a head wound. Amid shrieks of despair, his wife, Ethel, comforted him as his life ebbed away. His brother, President John Kennedy, was killed less than five years before. The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated two months earlier. By June 1968, violence from the inner cities to Vietnam was tearing the country apart, and had robbed the nation of three of its most inspiring leaders. Forty years later, the story of Robert Kennedy's life, cut short at 42, and the ripples from his brief, passionate campaign for the presidency remain powerful. He was killed celebrating his greatest triumph, winning the California primary as he fought for the Democratic nomination. The double blow of the King and Kennedy assassinations remains a raw wound for many who worked with them or were inspired by them. "We saw two bright lights snuffed out, our hopes and dreams shattered," recalled John Seigenthaler Sr., the former NBC anchor's father, who worked for Kennedy when he was attorney general.
Kennedy's 82-day campaign for the presidency, with its urgent themes of ending the Vietnam War, attacking poverty and bridging the racial divide, was a "noble moment, brutally truncated," said Todd Gitlin, a political writer and sociologist. Many voters this year say Barack Obama reminds them of John or Robert Kennedy, and Ethel Kennedy did not shy from that comparison. Wearing an Obama button at the recent RFK Journalism Awards in Washington, she said her husband and Obama "were cut from the same cloth - they reached out to people and inspired them."
Marked by substance
Kennedy's campaign was marked by substance, spontaneity and a willingness to tell audiences what they did not want to hear. That's a standard that may be difficult for Obama and his Republican opponent, John McCain, to match. But they are candidates of substance who have shown a penchant for independence - Obama, for example, rejected a gas tax holiday as a "gimmick," and McCain supported the troop surge in Iraq when many Republicans didn't want to talk about it. "These days, you don't find politicians telling people what they don't want to hear, but he did that all the time," Mankiewicz recalled. To grasp Kennedy's appeal, it's important to understand the chaos and divisions of 1968. Riots convulsed more than 100 cities after King was killed, and Army troops patrolled the nation's capital. Casualty rates in Vietnam soared much higher than in Iraq today, and the war and draft had alienated many young people.
Inspired hope
"He gave people hope when there was plenty of reason not to have hope," recalled Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose, a Stanford student at the time. At a rally in San Jose's St. James Park in March 1968, Kennedy drew 10,000 people, pledging to resist "the erosion of our national decency." "Poverty is indecent. Illiteracy is indecent. The maiming and death of young men in the swamps of Vietnam is indecent," he told the crowd. "It is indecent for a man to labor with his hands and back in the valleys of California, with no hope of sending his sons to college." Forty years later, Abramson said Kennedy's relevance for any political leader is clear: "He told it like he felt it, and pulled no punches. He challenged our complacency. He was a good listener and never spoke down to people. He was a remarkable leader." Too many similarities
Being very concerned of History repeating itself and worse When we were marking MLK's assassination I said Many around here want to hear nothing but positive and get very mad at me when I say just wake up look at the past and realize what we have before us. It is up to us to keep Obama alive. That is our duty our version of keeping hope alive. I keep telling people to remember MLK, RFK, and JFK. Remember what happened to them. It has all been excused and nothing adequately solved. You know conspiracy theories aside I believe those behind the right did it all and more. This mess will be much worse because events get larger not smaller as we progress.
I am very concerned It is all going to happen again only repercussions will be much more dire. Think positive but plan for reality. The right is not going to allow the awesome power amassed under Bush or their agenda into the hands of Dems thus putting and end to it. Forget about it. People should be smart enough to know what we are dealing with here.
The truth is never known and I am finding out that RFK's assassination was and still is a major cover up.
Knowing we never learned the truth behind the assassinations of MLK, RFK, and JFK, and knowing how openly corruptive and underhanded the right is today I am increasingly believing that the powers behind the right are behind the killings and I am willing to bet I'm right. I would like to know what you think about that? Knowing that and knowing those powers can not let the abusive power gained under Bush to get in the hands of Democrats I expect the right to do something underhanded to stay at the helm of these just beginning Forever Wars. As a last resort I fully expect those powers whoever they are to assassinate Obama too.

Obama wins Clinton won't concede unless given VP, with McCain same lies different disguise!


I am not sure why but this is the only video I could get to work. Mccain's idiocy would not come out nor would Obama's speech? I have to put my story together but have come to the conclusion that unless Obama gives Hillary VP this is just beginning and the nightmare Limbaugh and Ickes promises for the DNC will be a fact! Anyway think about it and check out this video while I put it together!
Obama wins and Clinton won't concede unless given VP, with McCain same lies different disguise! This has to end before the DNC or we are in trouble!
“After 54 hard-fought contests, our primary season has finally come to an end,” Obama told cheering supporters in a victory celebration in St. Paul, Minn., at the site of the convention that will nominate his Republican opponent in the fall, Sen. John McCain of Arizona. “Tonight, I can stand here before you and say that I will be the Democratic nominee for the president of the United States of America.”
Obama, 46, of Illinois, hailed his Democratic rival, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, for having “made history in this campaign, not just because she is a woman who has done what no woman has done before, but because she’s a leader who inspires millions of Americans with her strength, her courage and her commitment to the causes that brought us here tonight.” “Our party and our country are better off because of her, and I am a better candidate for having had the honor to compete with Hillary Rodham Clinton,” Obama said. But after splitting the last two primaries of the election campaign with Obama, Clinton refused to give him the unalloyed victory he sought. Obama claims Democratic nomination But?
I understand Obama and Hillary had their obligatory conciliatory, congratulatory phone call but Hillary will not drop out and Obama did not ask her to be Veep. She will not give this up unless she is offered the VP
I don't know what to think but look at the possibilities, This list looks an awful lot like the one Robert Rouse put together but this is cnn's list of potential running mates for Obama
While the two faced lying McCain was welcoming Obama to the Presidential race McCain and Obama both vowed and are running on change. Change? McCain? Same lies different disguise! After clinching the Democratic presidential nomination, Barack Obama on Wednesday went on the offensive against Republican opponent John McCain, who responded by sending his rival a letter inviting the two to hold a series of town hall meetings across the country.
In a speech to the American Israel Public Affairs in which he vowed solidarity with the Jewish state, Obama accused McCain of having a "plan for staying, not a plan for victory," in Iraq. “Keeping all of our troops tied down indefinitely in Iraq is not the way to weaken Iran, it is precisely what strengthened it,” the Illinois senator said. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Obama's defeated Democratic rival, followed Obama to the podium at AIPAC, delivering a strong defense of Israel — and also of her rival in the nominating race.Hillary and Obama both belittle McCain on Iran, Iraq, and the middle east
* Hillary is being very supportive of Obama and how good he will be for Iraq, Israel, and middle east peace but that will end if it becomes obvious she does not stand a chance of VP if that is the case! We cannot afford a President McCain to happen if we can keep this election too from being stolen. McCain's change is the same lies with a different disguise! We must come together! Like it or not I see an Obama Hillary ticket guaranteeing party unity albeit with many caveats. Personally I see many potential nightmares for Obama and us with "Billary" as Veep but I don't realistically see a way around it! Short of being offered the VP I see Hillary taking this to the DNC and Ickes, Bill, and other "ilk" will happily make Limbaugh's dream and my worst nightmare come true! Like it or not this is not over until it is over! Stupid me I thought it was "over" once the required amount of Delegates was gained. However consider the source and those pompous, fickle, egotistical, uncommitted Super Delegates are P'ing me off!

Ahmadinejad's latest on wiping Israel off the map, the US Satanic power,and the US created? World food crisis!

First Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad predicted that Muslims would uproot “satanic powers” and reaffirmed his prediction that the Jewish state will soon be wiped off the map, the Agency France-Presse news agency reported Monday. "I must announce that the Zionist regime (Israel), with a 60-year record of genocide, plunder, invasion and betrayal is about to die and will soon be erased from the geographical scene," Ahmadinejad said.
"Today, the time for the fall of the satanic power of the United States has come and the countdown to the annihilation of the emperor of power and wealth has started," the hard-line president said. The White House immediately dismissed Ahmadinejad's latest attack on Israel and accused him of "total disregard" for the Iranian people's needs and beliefs this is not new but Ahmadinejad Calls U.S. 'Satanic,' Israel 'About to Die
There will never be peace and all sides are doing what they can to make that true as they all want things their way and are prepared to fight, kill each other, and destroy the world as we need and know it! I do have to agree with this assessment though! Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Tuesday his country will continue with its controversial nuclear program, but rejected nuclear weapons. The country's supreme leader also said U.S. President George W. Bush and his advisers are acting erratically and sound mentally ill. "Sometimes they threaten, sometimes they order assassinations ... and sometimes they ask for help — it's like mad people staggering to and fro," he said.Khamenei, who has final say in all matters in Iran, spoke at a ceremony Tuesday honoring the founder of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Khamenei rightly calls Bush mentally ill
I just do not know what to believe or think anymore as every issue is purposely confused so one side or the other can follow their selfish agenda. Anyway Two controversial world leaders known for their anti-western rhetoric took advantage of a U.N. summit to point the finger of blame for the current food crisis at western nations. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe used the platform of a food summit in Rome to condemn western policies on the issue. Ahmadinejad suggested the formation of a global organization to regulate the food market and listed the major factors he believes are behind the current high food prices.
"The devaluation of the dollar and the global inflation, and some others consider environmental changes and droughts, the increase in consumption, the inappropriateness of agricultural methods and the low level of production efficiency, and the witness of farmers," he said. As a solution, the Iranian president suggested "the formation of an independent and powerful body, obeyed by all countries, to justly regulate the food market and organize all its related issues from production to consumption." The Zimbabwean leader, however, was more pointed in his attack, singling out Britain as the cause of the economic woes back in his homeland. evaluate what the world says about the food crisis, what do you think?
* Nothing is anyones fault. Everyone knows thaat! nothing is being won against Al Qaeda, The Taliban, Insurgents, Iran, Islamists, what every you call those who want to live their own way not Bush's nor will it! This is just beginning! The only way to end this is to live and let live but everyone thinks they can have their own way so that will never happen! I just wish that those of us that do see this dire mess and that it is just beginning would be listened to and make a difference. It is beyond how from day one certainly today that anyone can accuse the Chief warmonger of thinking or caring about average Americans and our America. He is going after Iran as was the plan day one. He does not care about the consequences nor does McCain who wants to carry this on. like the breakdown just getting under way in America so too is it in the middle east and around the world.
** I feel for my sons because they are righteous and Patriotic. One in particular does not get that bush is a scum and lying to him and our military and using them to get what he wants and it is not what he thinks. I feel for them and their kids because if they survive these wars they will be choked by the purposely incessant debt! We may be responsible for the food crisis and everything else wrong in the world as I think we are. I no longer trust our Government! I just believe at this point leave or not we will be fighting this and much more for numerous years to come as Bush has set forces beyond our control in motion and they will dictate our actions regardless of who the next President is! The right has meant for us to be in the middle east for eternity from the beginning and 9/11 was allowed to happen to give them the power and the excuse to get back into the middle east. They will not leave. Whoever is elected next will have to fight these wars, here in the middle east and around the world for many years to come like it or not!

This morning I wrestled between Hillary dragging the Democrats to the grave and Republicans throwing McLellan in, I think McClellan won over!
This morning I wrestled between Hillary dragging the Democrats to the grave and Republicans throwing McClellan in, I think McClellan won over!
This morning the news is all about Hillary and her fight to stay in the nomination process and screw with as many Super delegates as possible before the DNC. I am expecting quite the fiasco there but for now I am just going to supply a couple of links if you are curious and forget about her. For a while now I have been gathering articles on Scott McClellan, why he came out now, why he did not speak up before, what he has to say what the Republicans have to say, and what the Democrats have to say. I am sure as usual that the truth will not matter and it will be labeled as conspiracy theory in this case by a disgruntled employee and the lying and underhanded agenda will continue as planned. I figured at this point we have all that is going to come out on it so I would supply as usual the whole story as we now have it and see what you think being able to evaluate it all at once!
First like you I am sick of Hillary! I do not care what her sex is! I do care that single handedly Hillary, Bill, and Ickes, are willing to drag the party and thus the country to satisfy their own egos. I am sick of this behavior not only coming from the right but from our own so called Unity party! Again Hillary Clinton said she will take the race for the Democratic presidential nomination "a day at a time" and is reviewing all options as she moves forward in her campaign. I am sick of this BS
Also As Barack Obama turns to concentrate on his general election challenge, his rival Hillary Rodham Clinton is mounting a last ditch campaign to stay relevant in what is left of the Democratic presidential contest. The former first lady enters this week with an insurgent strategy not only to win over undecided super delegates but to peel away Obama’s support from those party leaders and elected officials who already have committed to back him for the nomination. She is not going to stop
Enough about her destruction for now. Let us get back to McClellan to look at all the information before us from all sides so at least we can form an unbiased opinion! I think I can simplify this! Last week from my man Congressman Wexler:, Impeachment update: significant news broke that directly impacts our push for Impeachment Hearings and a possible Inherent Contempt charge for Bush Administration officials such as Karl Rove: Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan has revealed in his upcoming book that: • Karl Rove, Scooter Libby, and Vice President Cheney lied about their role in revealing the identity of Valerie Plame Wilson – actions easily amounting to obstruction of Justice.
As you know, McClellan also admitted that: • There was a coordinated effort within the Bush Administration to use propaganda to pump up the case for the Iraq war and hide the projected costs of the war from the public. Scott McClellan must be called to testify under oath before the House Judiciary Committee to tell Congress and the American people everything he knows about this massive effort by the White House to deceive this nation into war. Last week, a subpoena was issued for Karl Rove to testify before the Judiciary Committee. It appears he will take every legal action to block this subpoena. The truth is that Congress has the right – and obligation – to hold him accountable now - not months or years from now. It is long past time to pass Inherent Contempt and bring Rove, Libby and others before Congress.
Mr. Wexler wants McClellan to testify and he says he wants to. You can read the entire story and watch McClellan's last words on Bush on his last day 5/5/06
Meanwhile as you can expect because McClellan has let out the truth Senator Dole and others are mad as hell and calling McClellan a miserable creature
* Sticks and stones as they say! You know McClellan is right and you can not speak the truth around Bush. It only comes out once someone for whatever reason is out of this mis-Administration then it will only be dismissed and the lies continued. You know how I feel, you know how the Democrats feel, you know how the White House and Republicans feel. I would like to know how you feel ! Do you think any of this matters?

Too much shady positive Information on Iraq: Casualties way down, Australia pulling out victoriously, CIA has Al Qaeda on the run in Iraq, what?
I will fill in the blanks shortly. This blows me away!
The next President is being set up to look the failure as Bush is said to be victorious. He is trying to escape the reality of the nightmare he created! I found hundreds of stories involving the inevitable civil war Bush ignored going back to the very beginning and 2 years before I converted from writing books to trying to connect to people every day. The underlying theme in over 100 stories was Democracy at the point of a gun and that every single time Bush declared things were going well and Iraqi's scored another victory they fell ever deeper into the hell on earth called Iraq that he created.
Numerous times we said from the beginning that Bush attacked Iraq only to attack Iran and help Israel establish a safety zone and new middle east order that would end up in total middle east breakdown involving Sunni against Shiite with Israel and the US right in the middle. This is coming closer to reality every day despite Bush and McCain's bragging of success. I often think because of. Of late with McCain having hung his hat on the success of Iraq that as expected is beginning to blow wide open I have been writing that I am increasingly concerned that Bush knows Republicans are not only losing more and more influence in the Senate and the House but thanks to the increase of his created violence in Iraq he knows Republicans are going to lose the Presidency too.
It was only a matter of time before the future of Iraq, the middle east, and Americans was stolen by Republicans I began to expect by having the election stolen once again in a growing number of ways for McCain so the right wing war mongering new order agenda could continue.
I know longer know what the hell is going to happen. It looks like with obvious failure looking at him Bush is declaring victory and when the next President gets in and the failure becomes obvious he will blame it all on them. Unbelievable check this out!
I don't get it? With 2 million permanent refugees and the inability to supply the remaining residents with basic needs for survival "Notable progress" has been made in Iraq despite persistent problems, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Thursday at an international summit to promote peace in the violence-wracked country. UN sees progress?
A month of decrease mayhem in murder is being called a victory? The number of deaths among Iraqi civilians, police and insurgents fell sharply from April to May, according to data from the Iraqi government, and the monthly death toll for American troops hit its lowest mark since 2004. attempts to Ally fears
Meanwhile Australia, a staunch U.S. ally and one of the first countries to commit troops to the Iraq war five years ago, ended combat operations there Sunday, a Defense Department official said. Victorious pullout?
Amidst all this Previewing the world for the next U.S. president, a top U.S. intelligence official this week predicted that the Bush administration would make little progress before leaving office on top national security priorities including an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement, political reconciliation in Iraq and keeping Iran from being able to produce a nuclear weapon. A regenerated al-Qaeda will remain the leading terrorism threat, Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence Donald M. Kerr said. Pakistan's "inward" political focus and failure to control the tribal territories where al-Qaeda maintains a haven, he said, is "the number one thing we worry about.Intelligence officials see total failure where Bush calls victory
I reiterate there will be no success! Bushco is declaring victories for all intents and purposes amidst what to us is total failure. Attacking Iran and world war were the original intentions and a phony McCain election if we are lucky enough to have them will guarantee that. things are not getting better and there will be no victory in Iraq, the middle east, or the world. Once again Bush is ignoring the facts and reality as both Scott McClellan and we know he has done from day one! He is again ignoring the experts and listening to those who tell him what he wants to hear. This is never going to stop. It now appears that with a loss of the White House looking imminent and his mis-agenda being discontinued, amongst total failure Bush is declaring victory so he can lay the blame of failure on the shoulders of whoever has the misfortune of inheriting his mess! Tell me what you think about all this crap!
