Hiatus

Viele Grüße aus Deutschland.

What's taking so long? I didn't know FP editors were invited by Empress Michoko for tea in Japan! Didn't you guys have enough time already to figure out your MADAM SECRETARY blogging strategy? Or is it that you're ignoring the real need for us visitors at FP's Madam Sec. to get our Hillary dosage?

WAKE UP, FP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm posting every day until FP gets it's act together. As our President's approval ratings start to go South, I'd be curious what Hillary's are right about now...

Sorry to post this here, but I have no other way of reaching Tifom:

Hi, Tifom,

I tried to send an email to you at the address listed on your blog, but my message was returned to me. I have had trouble posting comments on your blog. I can only log in as "Anonymous". But when I do that, my comments do not appear even though I get a message saying that my comment has been published. I also cannot read other people's comments because they do not appear. Only the name of the commenter appears. I don't know if anyone else has had trouble with those features on your blog ...

Beautiful blog, anyway!

The environmental news examiner sets the record straight after CNN distorts HRC's comments on China and human rights:

What's the matter with the FP staff. I can't believe it. It has been two weeks, I think. Why no one takes over this? FP doesn't have an editor to do this job???

Tim Johnson's column (Feb. 22) sums up accurately the real diplomatic impact of the new SoS' visits to Asia. She was treated like a rock star at Ewha University in Seoul, reminding the young women there of their common (Scranton Methodist) links. She was a big hit at the Jakarta MTV-type show where she said she felt more "like an advice columnist than a SoS". I liked her candid remark to the rural women activists gathered in China to hear her (at great government risk it seems to at least one of them):

"In no society, including my own, are women treated equally yet..." drawing applause.

Significantly, she's able to link magnetically it seems with the people in these countries, especially the women who seem to know a lot about HIllary. One of the Chinese older women said that her daughter had taught her one sentence when she visited during the primary: "Hope you win". But when the woman actually shook hands with Hillary last year, she froze and forgot to say it. She said ot Hillary a couple of days ago: "Maybe if I had managed to say this to you, you'd have won!". Ah the women of China!...

It was also reported that the chief bureaucrat on foreign policy in China (feared by his colleagues for his immense government powers), upon meeting Hillary, said: "You look far more attractive and beautiful in real life than on TV..." Hillary appeared to be blushing at first, but quickly recovered, touching her shoulder and responding:
"Well, it looks like we will get along very well"...to the amusement and laughter of the "leg thrillers" surrounding the pair....

The AP press has a great story, too. What an amazingly unaffected, PEOPLE'S SoS Hillary is, eh? We knew it up here in Canada all along! Hillary is one in a billion. She's amazingly competent without losing the common touch. The little girl who wanted to be an astronaut at 13 is in the stratosphere of Diplomacy where she belongs. And the most effective GLOBAL Ambassador for Women's Rights everywhere! Bravo!

Now, let's hope the Foreign Policy guys (don't see any female names on masthead yet!) revise their policy and break their Madam Secretary silence.

I should have been clearer. I referred to the media as "leg thrillers" as I have not been able to bring myself to refer to them as 'journalists' or 'media' since Chriss Matthews and Keith Olbermann's pathetic "leg thrilling" masquerade as 'reporters' during the primaries....I'm sure you remember that Matthews said he felt anatomically incorrect "leg thrills" whenever he heard Obama's speech while Olbermann instructed his listeners that Hillary be "taken out on a shed" and harshly and terminally dealt with!...Ah the "leg thrilling" fun of being a contemplative journalist, eh?! And the boys are still talking...even though their ratings are dropping...

Hillary is in freaking Asia and FP mag can't bestir themselves to comment? What the problem ? She's working out too well?

Huffingtonpost......... which I rarely read..........

We will call this Part 1 and Part 2 of this post.
I find it personally to be a waste of time reading Huffintonpost ,
I need the Freedom to think, they more than often cross that
line and feel they need to help we poor American's out.
Instead of facts and allowing logic to run the course they
do what I call selective reporting...... Spin and damage
control most of the time...... But, here goes..... I did read
this article.......

PART 1........... hmmmmmm interesting.....

I would like to put out an all points bulletin on Chairman Tim Kaine.

We are now more than a month into Barack Obama's presidency and there is little or no evidence that a national Democratic Party structure exists. Gov. Kaine, who was appointed Chairman of the Democratic Party by President Obama on January 8th, has been missing in action. He was nowhere to be seen during the battle to pass the stimulus bill. He was nowhere to be seen during the public relations fiascos that surrounded the withdrawals of several cabinet appointees. He is nowhere to be seen now as the President sets about attempting to move his agenda and convince the American people that we have turned the corner and their lives are going to begin to improve.

What's up with that?

I know that President Obama has been busy, what with finding the lights switches and passing legislation to save an economy that is in possibly the worst downward spiral in history. I know that President Obama likes to think of himself as post-partisan. I know he wants to engage the American people directly -- much as he did during the campaign. But seriously, Mr. President, this isn't going to work.

************************** What follows is
PART 2 of the Article........... hmmmmmmmmmmmmm BULL$HIT

"When public and congressional support for the stimulus package began to falter -- owing largely to the Congressional Republicans having an identity crisis and putting positioning themselves for 2010 before saving the country's economy"
****************************************
LETS GET REAL....................... support for the Bill by the American people was 37%....... and it was the Pork and the Rush........
and that my dear Huffington Post with your head up your a$$ most of the time is the FACT.
****************************************

"It wasn't until the following day that someone finally stepped up to a microphone and said, " hey, wait a minute, wasn't it you guys, who controlled not just the White House and at least one of the Chambers of Congress for the last eight years who drove this economy into the ditch? Wasn't it you guys who dismantled most of the regulatory framework that might have prevented much of the financial industry mess that we now face? " And the person who stepped up was the President himself."

******************************************
IS ANYONE LAUGHING AT THIS YET............ OR MAYBE YOU DIDN'T SEE THE JOKE IN ALL THIS.............
BUT THEN...... IT IS NOT FUNNY.

**************************************
OBAMA..... you are part of "YOU GUYS" that drove all this into the ditch.................... you have been in the Senate for the past 4 years
and have never failed to not vote for a spending Bill. You were voted the most liberal Senator in the Senate.
The Democrats dominated congress..... both House and Senate for the past 2 years.
And, when they Republicans..... and Democrats ...... Bipartisan....... stepped up 2 years ago to put regulations on Fanny and Freddy...
you walked away...... you did not take action....... WHY.....??
AND....... YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO SAY "YOU GUYS"

NOW CAN YOU SEE THE JOKE? STILL NOT LAUGHING........ me neither it is not funny.

************************************************************
You continue to obtain your news from media sources such as the Huffington Post... you get what you pay for.

His address to the Nation............ just guessing but
he will highlight the below.

1. I inherited this debt.
2. George Bush is responsible for all the spending.
3. This administration failed to have regulations.
4. I will save money by ending the War in Iraq.
5. I will cut the our debt in half by the end of my term.
6. His budget will have efforts to restore fiscal discipline.

1.
Unlike all the presidents in the past 40 years...... he was part of all of this "He inherited"
The Democrats dominated Congress for the past 2 years... but he was in the Senate for
the past 4 years. He voted for every spending Bill. He is responsible for what he
claims he inherited and he will take an active responsibility for what follows.
He was voted the most liberal Senator in the Senate.........
The Democrats were at the wheel driving that bus you keep saying landed in the ditch.

2. Presidents only sign the Bills that
reach their desk....... or veto......... George Bush should have vetoed more.
But, he didn't pass all the Spending........... Congress did.... OBAMA AND
HIS FELLOW LEGISLATORS...... Maybe we should look at who was
voting NO.......... McCain a Republican along with many others
were voting NO......... McCain voted "yes" 18% of the time, Obama
voted "yes" 80% of the time..... so lay off the Republicans......
AND I AM A DEMOCRAT SAYING ALL THIS........
Lets start with taking responsibility for your part along with other
Democrats.

3. Obama in the Senate for 4 years and, 2 years ago when Bipartisan ......
Democrat and Republican..... came to
the Senate floor to put regulations on Fanny and Freddy, Obama walked away
from it. WHY?
FROM HIS LIPS YOU WILL HEAR HOW THE FAULT WITH WHAT HE INHERITED
WAS FROM
LACK OF REGULATIONS......

4. How do you save borrowed money?
How do you make borrowed money an asset?
THE MONEY FOR BOTH OF THESE WARS IS BORROWED MONEY.

5. Will he tell us that the tax cuts expire in 2 years?

6. You mean like no Pork? .. Can you say 5 Billion dollars to
ACORN in the Stimulus Package? ACORN, dishonest, fraud and
voter violations in almost every state..... now that is organization.
It was taken out by the Senate and the Bill went back to the
House..... they put it back in with different wording and a new
heading. This was all given to the Senate for the final vote
at 11:30 PM the night before voting...... all 1,700 pages of it.
($ Half Billion dollars a page)
AND HOW ABOUT TAKING A LEADERSHIP ROLE AND WRITING THE
BILLS YOURSELF? NOT IN THE HANDS OF BUSINESS AS USUAL
CONGRESS?
CHANGE?????? YES WE CAN????????????
Or is it Yes We Can but I don't know how?
DOES THIS SOUND MEAN? NO IT SOUNDS ANGRY.

And, by the way........ on the Regulation problems?

You Tube....... Canadian....... the American one has been moved or
removed.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- During the most contentious stretch of the Democratic presidential primary campaign last winter, then-candidate Hillary Clinton mocked Barack Obama for his pledge to transcend Washington's entrenched partisanship.

"The sky will open. The lights will come down. Celestial choirs will be singing and everyone will know we should do the right thing and the world will be perfect!"
Clinton bellowed.
