Bush a true orator?

Answer:
Clinton was a classic orator, very engaging! And a horrible president. Bush speaks from the heart. he stumbles on his words occassionally, and often mispeaks, because he spends time tackling issues instead of practicing in front of the camera at being a politician. If you want an orator, hire a spokesperson! If you want a leader, elect a President. Thak God for Bush!!

Is New York a strategic Financial & Media center in need of Extra Homeland Security Funding?
Question:
New York’s Antiterror Funds Disappoint, Officials Say Sign In to E-Mail or Save This Print Reprints Share DiggFacebookNewsvinePermalink By RAY RIVERA Published: July 8, 2007 After the city’s share of antiterrorism money for high-risk communities was cut last year by 40 percent, New York officials said they were assured by the Department of Homeland Security that this year would be better. The agency modified the way it awarded the grants and worked closely with the city’s Police and Fire Departments to shape their funding applications. As a result, more money may be on the way, but it may not be as much as city and state officials expected. The department would not reveal the amount yesterday, but Representative Peter T. King of Long Island, the ranking Republican on the House Committee on Homeland Security, said that the metropolitan area was set to receive $134 million under the grants appropriated for the 2007 fiscal year. The figure represents a 7.6 percent increase from last year’s $124.5 million grant, but is still well below the $207.5 million it received the year before. Mr. King said he was given the figure by people inside the department. “The Department of Homeland Security still doesn’t get it,” Mr. King said. “All of us were clearly told it was going to be different this time, so this comes as a real surprise, and a real disappointment.” Senator Charles E. Schumer, a Democrat, took a harsher tone in criticizing Homeland Security and its leader, Michael Chertoff. “It is hard to believe, especially given the recent threats and attacks in Great Britain, that D.H.S. persists in the folly of giving money to places that don’t need it, rather than New York City,” Mr. Schumer said in a statement. “Secretary Chertoff has never given a good explanation as to why [the department] distributes security funding this way and why he has never lived up to the promises he made to the New York delegation when he was a nominee.” Homeland security officials declined to comment until an official announcement was made. That announcement is expected later this week, Mr. King said. He did not have figures for other cities yesterday. The numbers for the New York area — which includes Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester Counties — were first reported yesterday by Newsday. Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said through a spokesman that he could not comment until the official figures were released. But a source in his administration said that the number had been independently verified and that the mayor’s office was less than thrilled. The Bloomberg administration has lobbied Congress and Homeland Security heavily over the last few years to amend the funding process. Mr. Bloomberg has frequently criticized it as being driven by pork-barrel politics. The financing is being closely watched by New York officials, who were outraged last year by the cuts to the city’s share of the antiterrorism grants, while other cities, including Omaha, Louisville, Ky., and Charlotte, N.C., received large increases. The urban grants, which are intended for cities and metropolitan areas most at risk of a terrorist attack, represent nearly half of the $1.7 billion the department will distribute this year to help cities and states prevent and respond to terrorist attacks. As part of its reasoning in cutting New York’s share in 2006, the department said in a report that it found numerous flaws in the city’s application and gave poor grades to many of its proposals. Federal officials were particularly critical of the city’s plan to use some of the money to cover overtime costs for police officers guarding high-risk targets like bridges or subways. The department wanted the grants steered toward more permanent safeguards like improved communications systems and better antiterrorism and emergency response training. City officials criticized the department’s peer-review process used to evaluate the applications, especially after reading in the report that the region had no “national monuments or icons.” In a response, Mr. Chertoff wrote that several significant landmarks were actually classified in higher-risk categories as a way to help New York’s application. The Empire State Building, for example, was classified as a large office building, a higher-risk target than a national monument. But Mr. Chertoff has also acknowledged that last year’s process was flawed and that he hoped to steer as much money as he could to the cities with the greatest needs. As part of that effort, the department created a two-tier system to divide the $747 million allocated for urban grants this year. Under the new formula, the six areas deemed to be at greatest risk of a terrorist attack would share $411 million, while 39 other areas would compete for the remaining $336 million. The six regions are the New York area and northern New Jersey, which includes Jersey City and Newark; the San Francisco Bay Area; Los Angeles and Long Beach, Calif.; Chicago; Houston; and Washington. In addition to creating the new tier system, Mr. King said the Homeland Security also worked closely with the city’s Fire and Police Departments to write the grant application in order to avoid any of the misunderstandings that might have led to less money last year. “All of that cooperation, all of that back and forth, and we only recover 10 percent of that $83 million we lost” from 2005, Mr. King said. Mr. Schumer raised the possibility yesterday that the $134 million might have to be split with northern New Jersey because of the new formula, but Mr. King and a city official said that was not the case. Roger Shatzkin, a spokesman for the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness, said his office was not aware of how much grant money the state would get in urban area funding. “We would hope that we did as well as we did last year, if not a little better,” he said. In 2006, the Newark and Jersey City area received a combined urban grant of $34.3 million, up from $19.4 million in 2005. Manny Fernandez contributed reporting.

Answer:
New York is the financial center of the US. It is also where ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS and Fox have headquarters so, yeah it is a media and financial center. The argument is over the way that DHS hands out money for anti-terrorist things Where Cities like New York Illinois and California get the same amount of money as Montana and Wyoming so that Montana and Wyoming have better anti-terrorist equipment than New York and LA where the attacks are more likely to come. Homeland Security keeps promising more money to more populated regions but they never deliver.

WASHINGTON - Military interrogators posing as FBI agents at the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, wrapped terrorism suspects in an Israeli flag and forced them to watch homosexual pornography under strobe lights during interrogation sessions that lasted as long as 18 hours, according to one of a batch of FBI memos released Thursday. FBI agents working at the prison complained about the military interrogators' techniques in e-mails to their superiors from 2002 to 2004, 54 e-mails released by the American Civil Liberties Union showed. The agents tried to get the military interrogators to follow a less coercive approach and warned that the harsh methods could hinder future criminal prosecutions of terrorists because information gained illegally is inadmissible in court.

Answer:
Unlike the hypocrites running the US now, I believe in following international law and following consistent standards of conduct even when it's inconvenient or unpopular. A violation of international law is equally reprehensible whether it is committed by the US, Nazi Germany, Egypt, or Iran. That used to be considered a "conservative" view, but conservatism has given way to radicalism, and radicals can justify anything they want to because they're so morally smug and self-righteous. I don't think the Geneva Conventions for POW's apply fully to Al-Qaida suspects because those laws were written for conventional warfare, but a civilized nation would not assume a license for abuse and would instead be pressing for new international law to cover new situations, just like Congress writes new laws for new situations like the Internet.

Does the misinformation being generated on the web about the candidate's tax plans bother you?
Question:
Unfortunately, when people hear something over and over, it tends to be gospel (it's the stuff Urban Legends are made of). Here on Yahoo Answers, there are countless comments about how Senator Obama's tax plan is beneficial to everyone except people that earn $250k or more. This couldn't be further from the truth. You also constantly hear how Senator Obama is going to help the "Middle Class", but in reality he's needs to put a disclaimer on it. Senator Obama is not helping any of the middle class in high cost of living areas. This would includes areas like the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle, Boston, Washington D.C, Philadelphia, & many areas of New York. The actual cutoff on where you'll do better on taxes under McCain is $112,000 (and that's for a family of four). Although some of you that don't live in these areas might think that's rich, do some research and you'll realize this family is no better off than a middle class family in your area of the country. In addition, based on the Tax Policy Center report, both Senator Obama's and Senator McCain's tax plan will actually make the deficit worse! Yes, I said worse. Senator Obama's plan would add $3.3 Trillion and Senator McCain's would add $4.3 Trillion. If you look further on the report (page 16), you will find that Senator Obama's has a $924.1 billion of "unverifiable campaign-provided revenue estimate". Yeah. Not sure what that would be but since it can't be verified, I think it's fair to say that it's questionable at best. So all and all, what do we have? A draw with neither side helping the deficit. Makes sense to me....does it make sense to you? I truly hope those that are throwing out this misinformation will stop it, read the 45 page report, and educate themselves so they make a decision on our next President with thorough knowledge of the facts no matter which way they vote. http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/UploadedPDF/411750_update d_candidates_summary.pdf Zaiahman, There's nothing in anything I said that has any spin whatsoever. This is a neutral post. You and everyone else here have a very valid source they can read that breaks down everything on both candidate's tax plan so they can vote armed with more information. If the economy is the biggest issue, then I imagine most people will look to the cost of living in there area and their income level and vote accordingly. I personally know people in all the California cities, Seattle, Boston, and New York. I assure you they are all in complete agreement with the $112,000 family having trouble making it and not being any better off than the Middle Class in other areas of the country. If you're so one-sided that you have to accuse me of some sort of spin with a neutral post, then clearly your mind is already made up and there's nothing anyone can do to change it, so go ahead and vote your conscious. Meg, I agree with you and you're actually validating the example, since the family in the $112,000 range are actually in the the 2nd highest quadrant, yet in the "Middle Income" range for their specific areas due to the high cost of living.

Answer:
Maybe you should talk to greenspan he seems to think obamas ideas would work and that McCains has a lot of holes and misinformation. Oh but what does greenspan know about the economy. And by the way I live in the outskirts of dc where the cost of living is one of the highest in the nation and most blue collar jobs don't pay half that. Nice spin but you never mentioned that most of McCains tax breaks are going to the top .1% of the wealthiest people in the world. Does that seem fair?

Is Sara Palin loosing her shine? Is this a reflection on John McCain’s judgment?
Question:
With the revelation of anti-environmental positons, misrepresentations and lies is Palin’s trust factor slipping? It has now been learned that most of the things that gave Gov. Palin her shine as stated in her acceptance speech were either misrepresentations or false statements. As listed below various journalist have fact checked her claims and found the following: PERSONAL COOK - During the acceptance speech Governor Palin stated that she didn’t see why the Governor needed a personal chief/cook so she fired the cook and sometimes her children miss her cooking. In fact, she reassigned her as an administrator and she now travels with Palin to cook for her wherever she goes. SELLING STATE PLANE - She spoke about selling the Alaskan governments plane on “e-Bay” in fact she attempted to sell it on E-Bay four times. No one took the initial bid. Subsequently the plane was sold through an aviation auction house at a $800,000 loss, Not on E-bay. FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY - Palin made a trip to her church, in October 2007, the Palin family went on a tour of the Hub Juneau Christian Teen Center, where Palin and her family worship when they are in Juneau. The state gave the center $25,000, according to a May 2008 memo. She appears to be financially supporting and/or donating tax payer money to her church. Palin has continued to repeat the already exposed lie that she said, "No, thanks," to the famous "bridge to nowhere" (McCain's favorite example of wasteful federal spending). In fact, she said, "Yes, please," until this project became a symbol and political albatross. EARMARKS - As Mayor Palin she hired a lobbyist for the explicit purpose of earmarks. Among the spending projects Palin helped obtain through the earmark process: $500,000 for a youth shelter, $1.9 million for a transportation hub, $900,000 for sewer repairs and $15 million for a rail project, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan watchdog group; the problem is because of the oil revenues Alaska, taxed as 3/4's the per barrell value, doesn't have a need for money. ALL TAXPAYERS PAYING ALASKA UNDER PALIN Regarding the oil revenues Alaska is, in essence, an adjunct member of OPEC. It has four different taxes on oil, which produce more than 89% of the state's unrestricted revenue. On average, three-quarters of the value of a barrel of oil is taken by the state government before that oil is permitted to leave the state. Alaska residents each get a yearly check for about $2,000 from oil revenues, plus an additional $1,200 pushed through by Palin last year to take advantage of rising oil prices. Any sympathy the governor of Alaska expresses for folks in the lower 48 who are suffering from high gas prices or can't afford to heat their homes is strictly crocodile tears. As if it couldn't support itself, Alaska also ranks No. 1, year after year, in money it sucks in from Washington. In 2005 (the most recent figures), according to the Tax Foundation, Alaska ranked 18th in federal taxes paid per resident ($5,434) but first in federal spending received per resident ($13,950). Its ratio of federal spending received to federal taxes paid ranks third among the 50 states, and in the absolute amount it receives from Washington over and above the amount it sends to Washington, Alaska ranks No. 1. She obviously is not an agent of change unless she is referring to a change of jobs. She is not the marvick she is be labled as and seems to only be "a fundraising tool" for McCain. http://clintonistasforobama.blogspot.com/2008/09/new -palin-scandal.html http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20080909/us_t ime/sarahpalinsalaskonomics;_ylt=AnLDDhiB5Kd_uJRs0LjKNNis0NUE http://voices.washingtonpost.com/washingtonpostinvestigations/2 008/09/palins_earmarks_spark_question.html?hpid=topnews

So he "confessed"? Does this take Osama off the hook? Does anyone really believe this crap?
Question:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Top al Qaeda suspect Khalid Sheikh Mohammed has claimed he organized the September 11 attacks on the United States and other major attacks, according to the transcript of a hearing released on Wednesday. "I was responsible for the 9/11 Operation, from A to Z," Mohammed, speaking through a personal representative, said according to the transcript of the hearing on Saturday at the U.S. military's Guantanamo Bay prison camp in Cuba. Mohammed, a Pakistani national, also said he was responsible for a 1993 attack on New York's World Trade Center, the bombing of a nightclub in Bali, Indonesia, and an attempt to down two American airplanes using shoe bombs. U.S. officials have said Mohammed, who was arrested in Pakistan in March 2003 and handed over to U.S. custody, was the mastermind of the September 11, 2001, attacks which destroyed the World Trade Center and damaged the Pentagon. Pentagon. "I was the operational director for Sheikh Usama (Osama) Bin Laden for the organizing, planning, follow-up, and execution of the 9/11 operation," he said through his representative, a member of the U.S. military. The transcript, released by the Pentagon, showed Mohammed was present at the hearing, which is to determine whether he meets the U.S. definition of an "enemy combatant." The transcript had been edited by U.S. officials. The Pentagon has said this is necessary to remove sensitive security information. Mohammed's representative read a statement on his behalf claiming responsibility for 28 separate attacks or plots. He also said he shared responsibility for three other plots, including plots to assassinate Pope John Paul in the Philippines and Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf.

This will improve the strength of the bloc. There is no dissent in this country. Those who disagree with President Bush are merely confused. The New York Times published an excellent piece of doublethink in its magazine section on Sunday 18 November. It is bad that Al-Jazeera fails to take American positions seriously. It is good that American media doesn't take Arab positions seriously. And all this from an Arab-American scholar who President Bush the First once called “more anti-Arab than the Israelis.” Government agencies are requesting that certain government reports be removed from public libraries. An excellent indication that SOS is having influence at the highest levels! The Guardian reports that PR firms have begun creating false citizens to try and shift the debate on certain key issues. Big Brother is certainly pleased! Do not wear a “Give Peace a Chance” t-shirt at the mall, or carry a protest sign when passing through. It may be illegal. It's good to know that the recent pro-war rallies have been sponsored by Clear Channel—we wouldn't want people expressing their opinions without the help of media conglomerates! We're pleased to learn that the government has been removing information from websites which do not agree with the current administration's policies. For example, the CDC's website no longer points out that condoms are an effective means of stopping sexually transmitted diseases. Thanks, Time Magazine for removing articles from your website! Reading an article critical of the government is a serious form of thoughtcrime—and, fortunately, the FBI takes such things seriously! Do not email President Bush. Youths in Arabic-speaking countries are encouraged to read Hi Magazine. A recent study showed that thanks to Fox News and other Minitrue news sources, most Americans believe untrue things about the war in Iraq. We are proud to present a special report on a specific instance of doublethink in the New York Times. The FBI urges you not to carry almanacs, lest you be labeled a terrorist. The Civil War will not be taught in US History courses in Georgia. “Those who cast the votes decide nothing; those who count the votes decide everything.” — Stalin, a man truly ahead of his time. In the grandest pro-Orwellian tradition, science is (fortunately) no longer a tool for objective truth, but rather one to promote an agenda. Huzzah! The UC-Davis Aggie has published an excellent article on SOS. It's a good thing that the Department of Homeland Security has asked its employees to be on the lookout for good photo-ops for the President. It's okay for the government to lie, according to the General Accounting Office. Students who publicly and personally question the Vice President's wife are guilty of a crime. A teacher was arrested in Tampa, Florida because a bookmark she was carrying is a concealed weapon. Thank the Department of Homeland Security for not forgetting Poland but instead protecting us from dangerous 12-year-old Polish choir boys. BTW I support the war(s). I just thought this was kinda funny. Liberals are so silly.

You can't expect anyone to read all that garbage can you?
