President Obama, paid Costa Mesa a visit this week and I missed him. Yes, I am ashamed that I could not indulge in such pleasure of being in his prescense, but I didnt have a ticket,it was hot and I was tired.
Like millions of other Americans, I watched him on T.V.
The moment he stepped off Air Force One, I was jumping and screaming. It's crazy how a President gets me aroused like Rapper, Jay-Z or Denzel Washington. He's like our generations #1 Rock star, whom ever that may be.
I also saw he made an appearance on the Jay Leno Show, and I must say my President looks good. He has a swag like no other President before him.
IF you were able to attend the speech at the Costa Mesa fairgrounds, please leave a comment, let me know how you felt, what was the aroua like. Did you get to ask him a question that's been buggin you? Did you feel he had something important to say that touched you?
Don't be shy, let me know.
Thanks

AIG CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY TAX PAYERS ARE PISSED
According to the head honcho of AIG Edward Liddy,Fincial Services and CEO, is bewildered that his employees, who received bonus's and some recipients left the company after getting their share, were getting death threats.
This he claims is a counter argument for not releasing the names of the recipients and will only release the names if subpoenaed.
This guy is a jerk. If your going to give up the names by subpoena, you should just give them up anyway.
Sounds like AIG management is a trick for a trade, Ill only give them up if you threaten me.
That explains why employees received a bonus. " Well pay you not to tell, and so you dont feel that guilty you can leave the company."
When is corporate America going to get a clue? Everybody is money hungry and wether they fully trust their employees or not, trust and believe somebody is going to tell, or write a book.

NEW DIRECTION FOR FULLYBLACK CONFESSIONS
When I started this blogging thing I was clueless.
Until last week, a guest speaker in one of my Communication classes made an interesting point, and now im taking her up on it.
From here out, this blog will still be about politics, but from a black woman's point of view.
What view may that be you ask? Raw, on the edge, urban not ghetto, and well.... ladies & gent, that you will have to stay tuned in to find out.

IMPERFECT BILL WILL HAVE ADULT SUPERVISION
This image was retrieved from www.cityftmyers.com
Even I can’t believe it, but he did it. President Obama openly admitted to signing an “imperfect bill” with earmarks, claiming it was necessary to move ahead. But before jumping guns on this one, I pulled out the dictionary to look up what an earmark was.
EARMARK: a congressional provision that directs approved funds to be spent on specific projects or that directs specific exemptions from taxes or mandated fees. Typically, a legislator seeks to insert earmarks that direct a specified amount of money to a particular organization or project in his/her home state or district.
And there you have it. Even in recession groups have found a loop hole to get their money off the top.
Here is a hint on what makes it an “imperfect bill”, it has to deal with lobbyist- you know a “favor for a favor” type of deal.
You see they go hand in hand. Lobbying is the practice of influencing decisions made by government. Now, a lobbyist is a person who tries to influence legislation on behalf of a special interest or a member of a lobby. Governments often define and regulate organized group lobbying but there are always loops holes.
That’s the problem, the loop holes.
President Obama knows it, and claims he will take precaution in trying to prevent any loop holes from passing through by treating this bill like two teenagers attending prom, under strict “adult supervision.”
Like prom, President Obama cannot have his full undivided attention on the bill and close every loop hole. So let’s just hope his designated supervisors don’t have their hands out for some cash themselves and are really looking out for the good of us all.
North Korea is willing to face off with the big dogs, good luck
North Korea, like other countries around the world are pissed off and taking all precautions to make sure the United States doesn’t interfere with their internal affairs.
Tuesday, North Korea claimed to launch a satellite as part of its peaceful space program, the U.S., South Korea, Russia, Japan and China don’t believe it, and North Korea doesn’t care making a vow to retaliate against any one seeking to shoot it down.
The uproar over the satellite according to U.S. national intelligence director Dennis Blair is the technology is no different from that of a long-range missile and its success means the communist nation is capable of striking the mainland U.S.
The situation cannot go ignored like our nations debt has in the past, leaving us to face the consequences of recession. Action needs to be taking now and ignoring North Korea can send us to an early death, or another war.
They cannot be trusted.
History repeats itself. They pulled the same scheme to conceal its missile development in 1998, when one of their missiles flew over Japan, when it ( North Korea) was suppose to be putting a satellite into orbit.
Hello North Korea, Bush nor Clinton is the president anymore, no more trying to pull a quick one over us!
Call us Kobe, head of the snake, or a country headed towards failure. I agree, it might be time for us to stop focusing on other countries internal affairs and pay attention to home, but for now we need to cover our back and take all precautions to not get attacked. For awhile I could never understand why the most powerful country in the world also ranks the most hated.
Then in deep thought I began putting some of the pieces in the puzzle together. I came across the depiction of a bully’s reputation being threatened and not only to boost up their own self-esteem, but to hold their place in hierarchy, they victimize the weakest person. And that seems to be the same issue for America. And other countries are feed up and will bring out the guns to prove it.
The big picture here is if North Korea is lying and the satellite launch turns out to be a missile launch we could have bigger issues to worry about than how to correct the economy, because we won’t have one.
Sources did not say when a launch would take place, but South Korea cited the dates April 4-8, confirming a report by Yonhap news agency.
