November 17, 2009

Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke has given Americans a glimpse of the ugly truth about their future job prospects. Simply put, companies have found that they can shed workers and rely on technological advances and overseas factories to operate with a lot fewer U.S. employees.

It is a fact that many jobs have left this country due to the High healhcare premiums they have to pay for their employees -- hence the need for healthcare reform!


It is a fact that the Party of No and Fear are unable to govern and when one does try to Govern and accomplish things for the American people like healthcare, raising the minimum wage or continuing unemployment benefits, they continue to "huff and puff" and spew fear in the air in hopes that people will continue to stay depressed and afraid thereby immobilizing and paralyzing them to do anything at all. Now the GOP are huffing and puffing about the Obama Decision of having the terrorists being tried in open court in New York. Of course, we should bring these men to Justice, this should have been done a long time ago. Some of us may know that ("Saturn is in Libra, the significator of fair trials and justice." - Colloboratewithblogspot.com) which may be bringing this event to the forefront. And, it may be also that the GOP are just angry and embarrassed that they could not accomplish this very basic task of holding these terrorists accountable for their acts! I would not even be surprised if Team Obama finds Bin Laden, something Bush & Co. were also incapable of doing. Would this anger the GOP too? Probably!

As far as Obama bowing to the Japanese the Bible teaches us in Matthew 20:26 "It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant." which signfies to me that President Obama is a great man.

Well, the GOP may be huffing and puffing about the terrorists being tried in open court in NY, but all of us who are concerned about justice should be huffing and puffing that the Obama Administration has devised a "tiered" justice system for the terrorists, enemy combatants, detainees -- why should some get jury trials, others military tribunals, others no trials at all?

This is not the American way.

And, what about the concept of "post-acquittal detention powers" that Eric Holder and the administration claims is within their authority, in the unlikely event that the jury trials result in acquittal(s)?

We should be just as concerned about these possibilities as the GOP foaming at the mouth.
