Drugs are nothing new to the white from the days of the royal family of Kennedy today. In fairness, all the attention Bill Clinton receives over “not inhaling “ seems to be out of proportion to that of the standing president. In a Foxnews piece, Obama confessed using drugs at least one time in his life. Bush also admitted to a drinking problem, and many occasions preached about the evils of drinking. It would seem the media once again is picking and choosing its battles on what they find acceptable and what they do not. Could it be that Obama’s influence over the mainstream media is what has kept this issue at bay? Can we ever be able to see a fair and balance discussion about any of the present, future, or past behaviors of this young president? Should one man have the control over what is up for discussion about him and what is not? (foxnews)
We would hope that regardless of which side which party you stand for, that maybe we learned a thing or two after the Clinton circus. The waste of time and money his drug use became, just to manufacture advantage of control.
The question boils down to this, is there accountability still in the white? To move beyond the drug use into other areas that would have a greater impact on America. Because we choose to follow and trust that, we often don’t understand doesn’t mean its trust worthy.
This one got by us, we must remember that Obama is a man accountable, now to the country. Not to those who help put him there, not to his own hidden agenda, but to the people. Never in so many years has the country faced such despair or division. In these times we need a president that conveys hope and solidarity to those he serves, not …with a broad stroke of a brush or pen worship, blinded trust or obedience. The next months will put him to the test and then some; will he rise to become one of the greatest presidents in our history? On the other hand will he, regards of the fulfillment of his duties be reelected because of the power he now controls?

AIG, I have always understood that bonuses were based on performance and profits, neither which AIG has. The money they are so freely handing out is not profit. So how can AIG treat it as such, the money is a negative not to be treated as profit or even windfall. Contract or no contract, AIG has no respect or moral compass or responsibly to where the money came from. The American Tax payer money is not a bonus, it was given in good faith that it would be used wisely and responsibly. To that end, AIG should be punished for their action. What they did was break the contract with the government and the American people. AIG first priority is to those how gave it to save the company, not to reward those who raped it. At the least, with all their so-called problems, giving bonuses was the first thing they could think of to do with our money? Big business corruption abound, it’s time to say the American people will no longer flip the bill for the government’s affair with big business and big business greed and moral misconduct. SHAME ON AIG FOR SLAPPING US IN THE FACE AND SHAME ON UNCLE SAM FOR LETTING THEM.
