President Obama has Romney over a barrel on this one as Romney said he would not have gone after a single terrorist like bin Laden. His knowledge of foreign and military affairs is zilch!

The Republicans bow out of a Senate hearing as they did not want to become associated with the doomed Arizona laws on immigration. They are already tarred by their decisions on this issue and do not want to add any more fuel to the fire prior to the election as Hispanics are fleeing the Republican party in droves.

When the Republicans cannot find a decent issue to campaign on they invariably return to sex, religion and patriotism. I don't believe the American people are going to buy their phony bill of goods in November 2012.

If Trans Canada does not own the oil, then who does.?? I suspect the hedge fund managers at Goldman Sachs own the oil and sell it back and forth several times a day until it reaches an astronomical figure. Again, the American consumer will pay through the nose!!

Re: This Powerful Clip Is Exactly Why We Support #OccupyWallStreet

Stand Up
We stood up at Lexington,
Rose up at Concord true;
Raised our rifles high at Gettysburg.
Omaha, the Bulge and Iwo, too.
We held our ground at Inchon,
Fought bravely in the Nam,
Found Saddam, caught Bin Laden,
Saw Gadafi damned.
And now, we Occupy America,
To bring yet another new birth,
To save our homes, our jobs,
Our schools, our futures,
To see justice on this earth.

Our Congress is unable to act, frozen by the decision to take back the Senate and the White House. We can expect no changes as long as corporations are allowed to buy Congressional candidates and the future occupant of the White House.

Hundreds of corporations in the U.S. are paying a negative tax of 1.9%. We cannot balance our budget and allow big corporations to receive Services from our government then turn their backs on us and refuse to pay Federal taxes.

Congress is determined to block any meaningful efforts to create jobs as they want to make sure that President Obama is tagged with the broken economy. I hope the nation wises up to their strategy in 2012 and sends them all packing for home again.
