Obama's
War Machine Needs $800 Billion For 2009 Barack Obama's election promise to bring "change" to
Washington and reverse the juggernaut of the Bush war machine has proven
to be nothing more than a cruel hoax, emphasized by his recent actions

of around $800 billion in war funds and subsidiary costs just to cover
the rest of 2009.

Emanuel Doesn’t Pay Taxes, So Why Should You?

you will be arrested and thrown in the clinker. Not so in the case of
Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s Chief of Staff.

Government’s War on Recession The great failing of the Obama administration is that it is packed

Economic
Crash Will Fuel Social Unrest
The global economic meltdown has already caused bank failures, bankruptcies,
plant closings, and foreclosures and will, in the coming year, leave

its appearance: increased civil unrest and ethnic strife. Someday,
perhaps, war may follow.

Obama’s
Non-Withdrawal Withdrawal Plan
It would be superfluous in us to point out that a plan to “end”
a war which includes the continued garrisoning of up to 50,000 troops
in a hostile land is, in reality, a continuation of that war, not
its cessation.
