Now put those thinking caps on, and get that Omega3 workin', and tell me what Jimi Hendrix, Albert Collins, Buddy Guy and President Obama have in common??

Yep-they all play Fender Stratocasters and they all have enriched our lives!

Ok-the president plays a Gibson Les Paul. Darn it!

I'm sure US govts have squandered far more overseas than that over the last 12 years.

Just saying...

Yeah, I was thinking the visit was timed conveniently.. However there's nothing wrong with paying homage to one of the most courageous activists to change racial perceptions in our lifetime. Perhaps it's important to him.

But this thread is getting old. Although we enjoy participating, it feels like its turning into an old guys political rant circle..

Yawn.

How long is that 'The Dog Ate my Homework', catch-all of an excuse going to be propped up by the obamatrons to try and shield obama from his own bumblings.. ??

(You realize using it makes you look cretinous... don't you..??)

I'm sure Obama looks like a real bumbler compared to Bush...

Who's making any comparison...??
(except you of course...)

Bush had his bumbling, no intelligent person cannot deny this...

But, that in no way excuses the lies, secrecy, mis-steps, bad judgement or total lack transperancy of obama and his administration.

History will not judge obama kindly.

cheers!

American politics, easy, I mean, really. You've a right wing party that aren't psychopaths, a right wing party that are. And a right wing party that want to create Hitler clones and implant them into the uteri of all woman kind.

Take it as read, that's what the majority of the world sees.

"the license for this song has expired please go online to register your license"....what just happened?

Without knowing where you originally purchased the music, I can only guess, but that sure sounds like Apple's licensing rearing its ugly head. If the song was purchased from iTunes I have some advice, next time download from Walmart.com (usually cheaper too).

Well, that's a little one-sided with no mention of the fellows who are left of center, but I do get the humorous intent.

But, we also have a Liberal party that aren't psychopaths, and a Liberal party that is. Plus a Liberal party that wants to create Teddy Kennedy clones and implant them into the uteri of all woman kind and allow citizens who don't contribute to reap the same rewards and priviledges as those who do.

Then there are the groups in both parties who are simply Contrarians; believing themselves to be the self-appointed sentinels of their own personal dogmas, and who automatically oppose ANYTHING emmanating from the other side.

The Truth is that the majority of Americans aren't to either extreme, living their lives in the middle. As a majority, they are liberal on some subjects and conservative on others.

But, our political system has morphed to such a degree as to disallow this. The parties are so polarizing that they expect a citizen to be for it all part & parcel.

For the majority of Americans, neither party has fielded a candidate that they can get behind 100% for decades. Just look at the election results wherein a candidate wins with a simple 1 or 2% majority.

The system is so corrupt that it cannot be mended, only abolished and started anew.

But, of course all this is of our own doing, it is our fault for allowing this to occur by constantly re-electing these corrupt officials. In all honesty, the most responsible vote any American citizen can cast is to out the incumbent, NO MATTER WHO THAY ARE ! Only then can we even hope to see a return of representative government. I personally have practiced this for the past 6 election cycles, on the National, State and Municipal levels.

But my hopes of this are not high because it would require a citizenry who is willing to put the best of the Country ahead of what's best for them, and a degree of intelligence to discern the difference. Pessimistic as it may be, I fear that both these qualities are in ever-dwindling supply in our Nation.

cheers!

Trust me, from where I'm sat, they're all right wing. Though I'm in no way left wing.

As for a system corrupt. I'd be more inclined to argue the system functions perfectly. After all, how can you call it democracy when the Supreme Court is doing it's damnedest to see a portion of voters are disallowed because of their ethnicity.

Mate, it's all a lie. Since the Greek people invented it, those that crave power have perverted it to suit their own ends.
