Obama’s Homeless Woman Is Actually Real Estate Investor
If you voted for Barry, how does this sit with you?
During Obama’s campaign to promote his stimulus package, he staged an event with a woman, Henrietta Hughes, who, as it turns out, appears to be anything but truly needy. Henrietta was given an audience with Obama to beg for a home...
...It appears that the desperate homeless woman owns real estate she shifted into the name of her son to avoid taxes and acquire government aid. Apparently, Henrietta is the teacher and Tom Daschle is just a student. Henrietta also apparently sold real estate at a significant profit in 2005. Henrietta has now become the poster child the Democrats wish to use to justify the massive expense of helping the chronically unemployed, not-so-needy and not-at-all-homeless.

Feinstein's Reveals Secret Pakistani Air Base
Remember the "outing" of a covert CIA operative, Ms Plane?
The operative that turned out not to be so covert?
Remember the bad press, the negative comments?
Why is Feinstein getting a pass for revealing a true secret?
"Mr. Holbrooke, in Pakistan, ran into considerable concern about the use of the Predator strikes in the FATA area of Pakistan," Feinstein said to Blair, referring to Richard Holbrooke, President Obama's special envoy to Pakistan and Afghanistan. "And yet, as I understand it, these are flown out of a Pakistani base."

Uhh... no? Him having served in the military has no bearing on whether or not a military draft is slavery. His point--as I understand it--was that since one gets paid for military service after being drafted, it is not slavery. My point was that I still consider it slavery because it is forced labor.

What the **** is your problem???
Were you even born in this country???
You had best pull your ****ing head out of your *** & capitalize the "A" in "america'!!
Sorry, I really tried to be "offended" by that racist comment you made, but I'm just not.
Actually, the military is full of poor losers that have no other options for them to succeed in life.

Ideally, you're right though. I also think that most people join the military for the reasons you stated--which is a noble and selfless act. I'm just a little more critical of our federal government than most.
