About 97 members of the House of Representatives wrote President Obama asking him not to submit U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice's name as a nominee for the Secretary of Defense saying she was incompetent, basing it on her role as a White House surrogate on five Sunday talk shows where she repeated the talking points the intelligent community gave her... The senate (not the house of representatives)does have a advise and consent role and I could understand their objection if they were to say" we don't want to repeat the mistakes of giving false information like Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice did." <br /><br />Shawn Turner, the spokesman for the Director of National Intelligence, told CNN that it wasn't the White House decision to make any minor changes and CIA Director Petraeus said there were no political intentions. <br /><br />Some in the media are now saying that it was racially motivated but I think it's more about personal grudges, political games and the GOP thinking that Susan Rice was an easy prey. I don't think they would publicly go after Hillary Clinton because she would retaliate. The State Dept has a lot to answer for and I'm sure Hillary Clinton will be called to testify.<br /><br />The democrats hope that President Obama calls the GOP's bluff because he has all the votes to get her confirmed and Harry Reid should a make John McCain stand before the chamber and filibuster (the way it was intended) if that is what he intends to do; so the whole world can see how childish he is behaving.<br />Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668070524354374505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-87120019586036125822012-11-20T09:35:14.831-06:002012-11-20T09:35:14.831-06:00That's a good point Legion and I also agree th...That's a good point Legion and I also agree that Jim http://www.stonekettle.com/ makes some good points in his blog titled “With Friends like these."<br /><br />It's true that democrats and republicans put together some outrageous figures in their sequestration plan to make both parties come up with a solution. But if they don't, the Bush tax cuts will expire and a lot of cuts will take place which will not only shake the markets, it will probably send back into recession. It doesn't have to be because the numbers don't lie and both parties know the solutions for the short term fix.<br /><br />It's also true that the media has played this up as if the whole financial world will collapse if Congress doesn't make a deal by December 31, 2012. That's not true at all.<br /><br />I think Congress needs to pass a patch to the Alternative Minimum Tax (by the end of the year) because of the acts are burden it will put on the middle class.<br /><br />It can't be that critical,Congress has already left for the Thanksgiving holidays.<br />Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668070524354374505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-66480849058314750442012-11-19T17:23:33.409-06:002012-11-19T17:23:33.409-06:00 The fiscal cliff...

... The fiscal cliff... I tend to agree with Jim at <br />Stonekettle Station , another crisis invented by politicians to further their own agenda. <br /><br /> There is no doubt that revenues have to be increased, and debt reduced. It seems to me that a increase in revenue by itself would reduce the debt burden.<br /><br /> IMO a increase of tax rates on the top 1%, or hell even the top 2%, is not going to effect their life style or business practices in any way, except for that one sin...you know, greed.Legionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943732661912414361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-53209223023200754282012-11-19T11:54:14.536-06:002012-11-19T11:54:14.536-06:00Oh my goodness,a United States Senator says "...Oh my goodness,a United States Senator says ""I'm not a scientist, man" when a reporter asked him how old the earth is....He went onto say " I can tell you what the Bible says, but I think that's a dispute amongst theologians."
