Obama just completed the UNHOLY and ANTI-AMERICAN TRIFECTA:
1. 1st president in 110 years to miss the annual Army-Navy Football Game.
2. 1st president in history who did not attend any Christmas religious observance.
3. 1st president to remain on vacation after a terrorist attack.
Hoax? Yeah global warming is a hoax, designed to remove money from your wallets and reduce our freedoms.
Miami, FL, United States (AHN) - Another wave of frigid weather is battering the eastern two-thirds of the country. States already weary from record low temperatures are getting another blow of freezing temperatures.
The wickedly cold weather of recent has been blamed for five deaths and states not typically used to such prolonged periods of cold are dealing with fears of crop losses.
States that have already seen record low temperatures are likely to see temperatures fall even more in the coming days. According to the National Weather Service St. Louis, Missouri, some may see temperatures fall below zero for the first time since 1999.
Parts of Arkansas late in the week may see an actual temperature of 10 degrees. But with a wind chill factor, the temperature is likely to feel closer to 20 below zero. Even Texas is feeling Old Man Winter's fury. The high in Dallas will be in the 20s for two consecutive days - Thursday and Friday. The weather service reports that hasn't happened since 1998 for Dallas.
The National Weather Service has posted a freeze warning for the entire region of South Florida through 10 a.m., meaning it felt like 20 degrees in many places this morning. The days of continued cold and predictions of even more frigid temperatures prompted Florida's Gov. Charlie Crist to declare a state of emergency.
His decree was out of fears the cold could damage the state's crop industry. By issuing the order several bans are lifted, namely lifting weight limits on trucks so farmers can salvage crops already harvested and get them out of the danger zone

Wikipedia has a five differing definitions for everything it is not reliable that is why they are begging for $$$. Now, if one can concentrate for more than 6minutes they will learn something.
OMG! If any of us showed up at work this drunk or drugged up we'd be fired!
This is outrageous, and of course the $h1tStream media is ignoring this. I feel sorry for the DEMOCRAT senator from Montana it is pathetic. Now if this was a Repubic...............they'd slaughter them.
I think the drugged out dimwitted Dutch govt. and Delta airlines is at fault for this latest terrorist attack. Too much hollandaise sauce? The ticket agents allowed that idiot on without a PASSPORT! They broke the rule! It is solely their fault..................Soooooooooooooo what do you do? Answer: Block all air travel from Holland for 1 year and comply with and follow the friggen' rules! Our airline crews should double check for passports, or have a security specialist on every international flight do the checking and vetting. I would be glad to fund that with tax dollars and/or "tax credit" the airlines for the added cost. It is well spent tax dollars, better than Govt. healthcare.
The terrorist should be tried in a military court and executed yesterday. He is being denied his virgins. I say give him the virgins! He needs his virgins.. Although he roached his privates with his failed ignition.
Pumpi inspired.
This "LATEST" terror attempt is par for the course. The idiot that attempted to murder 278 people should have been executed YESTERDAY! Now we have this pile of crap saturating the news channels ad infinitum, for Gods sake don't give these GD f'ing troglodites any more publicity!
Let it go!
PARIS (AFP) – Man's best friend could be one of the environment's worst enemies, according to a new study which says the carbon pawprint of a pet dog is more than double that of a gas-guzzling sports utility vehicle.
But the revelation in the book "Time to Eat the Dog: The Real Guide to Sustainable Living" by New Zealanders Robert and Brenda Vale has angered pet owners who feel they are being singled out as troublemakers.
The Vales, specialists in sustainable living at Victoria University of Wellington, analysed popular brands of pet food and calculated that a medium-sized dog eats around 164 kilos (360 pounds) of meat and 95 kilos of cereal a year.
Combine the land required to generate its food and a "medium" sized dog has an annual footprint of 0.84 hectares (2.07 acres) -- around twice the 0.41 hectares required by a 4x4 driving 10,000 kilometres (6,200 miles) a year, including energy to build the car.
To confirm the results, the New Scientist magazine asked John Barrett at the Stockholm Environment Institute in York, Britain, to calculate eco-pawprints based on his own data. The results were essentially the same.
"Owning a dog really is quite an extravagance, mainly because of the carbon footprint of meat," Barrett said.
Other animals aren't much better for the environment, the Vales say.
Cats have an eco-footprint of about 0.15 hectares, slightly less than driving a Volkswagen Golf for a year, while two hamsters equates to a plasma television and even the humble goldfish burns energy equivalent to two mobile telephones.
But Reha Huttin, president of France's 30 Million Friends animal rights foundation says the human impact of eliminating pets would be equally devastating.
"Pets are anti-depressants, they help us cope with stress, they are good for the elderly," Huttin told AFP.
"Everyone should work out their own environmental impact. I should be allowed to say that I walk instead of using my car and that I don't eat meat, so why shouldn't I be allowed to have a little cat to alleviate my loneliness?"
Sylvie Comont, proud owner of seven cats and two dogs -- the environmental equivalent of a small fleet of cars -- says defiantly, "Our animals give us so much that I don't feel like a polluter at all.
"I think the love we have for our animals and what they contribute to our lives outweighs the environmental considerations.
"I don't want a life without animals," she told AFP.
And pets' environmental impact is not limited to their carbon footprint, as cats and dogs devastate wildlife, spread disease and pollute waterways, the Vales say.
With a total 7.7 million cats in Britain, more than 188 million wild animals are hunted, killed and eaten by feline predators per year, or an average 25 birds, mammals and frogs per cat, according to figures in the New Scientist.
Likewise, dogs decrease biodiversity in areas they are walked, while their faeces cause high bacterial levels in rivers and streams, making the water unsafe to drink, starving waterways of oxygen and killing aquatic life.
And cat poo can be even more toxic than doggy doo -- owners who flush their litter down the toilet ultimately infect sea otters and other animals with toxoplasma gondii, which causes a killer brain disease.
But despite the apocalyptic visions of domesticated animals' environmental impact, solutions exist, including reducing pets' protein-rich meat intake.
"If pussy is scoffing 'Fancy Feast' -- or some other food made from choice cuts of meat -- then the relative impact is likely to be high," said Robert Vale.
"If, on the other hand, the cat is fed on fish heads and other leftovers from the fishmonger, the impact will be lower."
Other potential positive steps include avoiding walking your dog in wildlife-rich areas and keeping your cat indoors at night when it has a particular thirst for other, smaller animals' blood.
As with buying a car, humans are also encouraged to take the environmental impact of their future possession/companion into account.
But the best way of compensating for that paw or clawprint is to make sure your animal is dual purpose, the Vales urge. Get a hen, which offsets its impact by laying edible eggs, or a rabbit, prepared to make the ultimate environmental sacrifice by ending up on the dinner table.
"Rabbits are good, provided you eat them," said Robert Vale.
Please eat more chicken!
Most of you understand odds, trends, and have some common sense, after a track record like the following, would you put money on them getting it right, before they take it from you?
This should be read and understood by all Americans Democrats, Republicans, EVERYONE!!
To President Obama and all 535 voting members of the Legislature,
The U.S. Post Service was established in 1775 You have had 234 years to get it right and it is broke. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 74 years to get it right and it is broke. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71 years to get it right and it is broke. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 years to get it right; $1trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 44 years to get it right and they are broke. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39 years to get it right and it is broke. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 32years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.
You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TOBELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM??
These guys like giving the cold shoulders, cold stares, and the hard cold facts!
Can you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?

I couldn't believe it when I saw it. This guy could give a ratz a$$ about the murder of soldiers, he gives shout outs for 2.5 minutes! If you don't think last weeks photo op at Andrew's air force base wasn't a photo op, think again, in addition, only one family gave permission for the pix.
In this speech he talks about himself as the commander in chief MMMMMM, MMMMMM, MMMMMM, stands for ME ME ME ME ME ME ME.
HARD TO WATCH.

Govt. and How Govt. Works
Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of adesert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night."
So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.
Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?"So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies.
Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?" So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One to do the studies and one to write the reports.
Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So they created the following positions, a timekeeper, and a payroll officer, then hired two people.
Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?" So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.
Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one year andwe are $18,000 over budget, we must cutback overall cost."
So they laid off the night watchman.
NOW slowly, let it sink in.
Quietly, we go like sheep to slaughter.
Does anybody remember the reason given for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY.... during the Carter Administration?
Anybody?
Anything?
No?
Didn't think so!
Bottom line. We've spent several hundred billion dollars in support of an agency...the reason for which not one person who reads this can remember! Ready??
It was very simple...and at the time, everybody thought it very appropriate.
The Department of Energy was instituted on
8-04-1977. TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.
Hey, pretty efficient, huh???
AND NOW IT'S 2009 -- 32 YEARS LATER -- AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS "NECESSARY" DEPARTMENT IS AT $24.2 BILLION A YEAR. THEY HAVE 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND APPROXIMATELY 100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES; AND LOOK AT THE JOB THEY HAVE DONE! THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY,
"WHAT WAS I THINKING?"
Ah, yes -- good ole bureaucracy.
AND, NOW, WE ARE GOING TO TURN THE BANKING SYSTEM, HEALTH CARE, AND THE AUTO INDUSTRY OVER TO THE SAME GOVERNMENT? HELLOOO! Anybody Home?
Happy Halloween!
