Congressman Todd Akin (R- Missouri)

Watching the US House Special orders speeches I cannot believe what I just heard from Congressman Todd Akin (R- Missouri) he just said on Healthcare reform and I am paraphrasing "When a patient and a doctor makes a decision no one should inter fear and get involved it is between them" I thought that's what Roe v Wade was all about? Shows you what Hippocrates the Republicans are. This Proves it.

Another Current News Comment

ITEM: Republicans including former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani are criticizing President Obama’s decision to bring Guantanamo detainees to both be put on trial in federal court in New York. And to house them in a prison in Illinois.

View: I have a simple solution for President Obama to consider. I believe he should ask for Prime TV time and say the following. to congress. “ You will back me on this decision or I will release all detainees without any trials” It’s up to you.

Random Observations of Recent News Items (Nov-2009)

ITEM: PRESIDENT OBAMA BOWS TO JAPAN EMPEROR AKIHITO ON ASIA TOUR

View: It’s About time a American President did what is a traditional custom when visiting Japan. For too long American Presidents have thumbed there noses in these diplomatic settings. By not following these tradition it suggest a attitude of “We’re Better than you and we don’t bow to anyone” I’m not one for clichés but in this situation Is truly is “When in Rome do as the Romans Do”

ITEM: 9/11 SUSPECTS TRAIL TO BE HELD IN FEDERAL COURT IN NEW YORK

View: As far as I am concerned this is a no brainier. The Military trials that were to be held under the Bush administration would have appeared to the world as nothing buy kangaroo courts where guilty verdicts would have been pre determined. A trial in open court is the only course of action that should be or should have been considered.

ITEM: THERE WILL BE NO VIDEO EMINATING FROM THE 9/11 TRIALS COURTROOM

View: If you are conducting a legitimate fair trial then you allow it to be televised live with no restrictions other than the usual practice of not showing the faces of jurors . To have a trial behind closed doors with only newspaper and other media reports after the fact is not sufficient. Present your evidence for all to see and each individual judge for themselves if were are seeking justice or revenge. If these suspects are guilty of what the government prosecutors allege I too want them to receive life sentences but I do demand a fair trial.

ITEM: DEFENCE SECRETARY ROBERTS GATES BLOCKS ABUSE PHOTO RELEASE

Defense Secretary Robert Gates' blocked the public release of any more pictures of foreign detainees abused by their U.S. captors specifically 21 color photos that the ACLU sued to be released.

"Public disclosure of these photographs would endanger citizens of the United States, members of the United States armed forces, or employees of the United States government deployed outside the United States," Gates said in his order blocking release of the photos.

View: Release all photos unedited and as is. If there is anything there that could as Gates says ”Public disclosure of these photographs would endanger citizens of the United States, members of the United States armed forces, or employees of the United States government deployed outside the United States," Then maybe that is something they should have thought about prior to participating in mistreatment and torture. Beside release of these photos will make it easier to charge those responsible. Criminals must be brought to answer for there crimes.

From the Right- It's all President Obama's Fault

Why wait for the Right to start let's beat them to it.

The Democratic losses in the Governorships in Virgina and New Jersey / The defeat of the Same Sex Marriage Public Question in Maine / The Transit Strike in Philadelphia / The Postal Strike in the United Kingdom is all fault of President Obama. There is no Doubt about. That's what the Palin's and Limbaugh's are going to say and there will be Tea Party wing nuts that will buy into it 100%
