populists

President Obama rarely registers much more than 50 percent approval, he’s having trouble selling his message, and Americans continue to suffer under the weight of the nation’s economic problems. So what can the president do to help improve his standing among Democratic voters? Well, for one thing, he could hitch himself to a rising populist star. But like most politicians, no one is perfect and many of today’s best-known populists have a strike or two against them right now (and no, we’re not talking about John Edwards.)

At the start of our search, it quickly became obvious that after Obama picked several populists for his cabinet, white men dominated the remaining ranks of available politicians. Below is our list of the top five political figures who may fit this new populist role — and it just so happens that some of them could be available in 2012 when Obama may be searching for a new second-in-command.

The President would be better served to keep his current VP. and fire Rahm Emanuel and the Clinton/Bush contingent on his staff and in his cabinet, and put in populists in those positions instead. Then maybe some real work could be done that would help Americans. VP Biden seems to be the only sane one currently advising the President.

I do like Joe Biden a lot. I heard him on one of the Sunday shows a couple, three years ago, talking about Iraq. I liked his knowledge about the country and the people and thought he had a more sensible solution than trying to make the Sunni's , Shiite's and Kurds all live together. That was really the first time I started paying much attention to him. Having said that, I think he does seem to some, to be more of the elitist than the regular guy, no matter that isn't his background.

Of the names mentioned in the article, if the president were going to change running mates, I think Gov. Schweitzer would be his best bet. He is a smart man, has considerable experience in Arab nations, I believe is fluent in Arabic, but is unquestionably a “man of the people” kind of guy. He drives a pickup and I'm pretty sure it has a gun rack in the back window, wears blue jeans and cowboy boots, owns a real farm/ranch, his dog goes everywhere with him- indeed Jag hangs out in the Governors office. He got people moving at the Democratic Convention in Denver and has been invited to speak all over the country, from Iowa to Virginia. I don't think he would hesitate to give the president his opinion either. I am not sure at this point what direction the president should go in because there is still quite a lot of time before the next election. Whatever happens, I think Governor Schweitzer could be helpful in the Obama administration after his term as Governor is up.

Of course if Sarah Palin decided to run, Brian Schweitzer could be a good weapon against her folksy-ness. He could shred her in the same vernacular she uses.

BATTLE ROYALE TWO

[Hillary Vs Rahm]

Now, we have stated before that it was our belief that in the battle of who was going to stay in the Executive Branch in the White House the [COS or SOS] White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel or Secretary of State Hillary Diane Rodham-Clinton, our money is on Rahm Emanuel, and it would seem that our wager looks good at this point in time. The Media Messiah Imperial President so far as indicated that Rahm Emanuel was not going any where any time soon, but we put little if any stock in what that guy says, it sure ain’t, [So It Is Spoken, So It Is Written, So Shall It Be Done], its more we said it, but we wrote it in pencil and it can be erased, and it doesn’t necessarily have to be done, so were not going to believe we hold the winning ticket until the race is finished.

[Rahm Emanuel]

We put our money on Rahm because, Rahm represents the Maxwell St., Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, Jewish Mob, the guy is connected, Rahms father, his father Benjamin Emanuel, who was a member of the Irgun (Etzel or IZL, Irgun Zvai Leumi), a militant underground Zionist group that operated and fought the British in Palestine between (1931 and 1948). (IZL) was not just an underground Zionist organization that fought the British in Palestine, Rahm himself join the (IDF) Israeli Defense Force in (1991), Emanuel claimed to have only volunteered for a few weeks, as a civilian, doing maintenance on Israeli vehicles, but there are missing details in the story and no one has seen any pictures of Rahm with grease on his face and a wrench in hand, others say Rahm was assigned to dad’s old unit, the militant Zionist group Irgun (Etzel or IZL, Irgun Zvai Leumi). The [FBI] Federal Bureau of Investigation, says Rahm has been and is a Mossad Agent of Israel, who was as the story goes once before was fired from the White House in (1998) after being implicated by the (FBI) Federal Bureau Investigations of, together with Monica Lewinsky another dual citizen, Jewish American, in a Mossad plot to spy on then-President Clinton. And even Dad Benjamin, told Israeli newspapers about his son: [Obviously, he will influence the president to be pro-Israel. Why wouldn't he? "What is he, an Arab? He's not going to clean the floors of the White House.], and on top of all this Rahm has the total backing of;

* [AIPAC/AZC]: American Israel Public Affairs Committee/American Zionist Council, As every politically conscious individual of the Community of Nations on the face of the earth knows [All] The Empire [DC/544] are owned by the Israeli Government via its political pressure Lobbyist group The [AIPAC/AZC] American Israel Public Affairs Committee/American Zionist Council, the most powerful pro-Israeli lobbying organization, under the umbrella group and within the group of numerous and prominent pro-Israel organizations numbering (100K) One-hundred-Thousand, membership of neo-conservative Jewish lobbyists groups, connected to various influential caucus members of the Empire’s pro-Israel lawmakers.

[Hillary Diane Rodham-Clinton]

Hillary Diane Rodham-Clinton and his husband Bubba are far less connected as Hillary WAS NOT FROM CHICAGO, Hillary wasn’t even a Democrat, and Hillary started out a Barry Goldwater Republican, from Park Ridge, a snob Suburban community, bordering Cook County. And Hillary much like Dr. Ron Paul the [US] Representative of [14th] District of Republic of Texas, representing the Empire to the Republic of Texas, has said the American-Israeli Empire, must review its unconditional support of the Jewish State, basically the American-Israeli Empire needs to end and the United States of America once again be re-established, and end the [SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP] with the Jewish State. Now, Hillary and Bubba, has been proven supporters of this position all along, calling for a [2] Two State solution, and the division of Israel, which is what may have been behind the [JAP] Jewish American Princess Lewinsky affair a President fighting off impeachment doesn’t have time to get involved with the State of Israel. We believe that Hillary Diane Rodham-Clinton has views that are more in line with;

Three men from opposite side’s of the globe, opposite religious values, opposite interests, as opposite as two men can be from one another, but who’s thinking on matters of inter-geo-political importance, have come together on common ground.

Dr. Ron Paul (R-TX) Congressman of the (14th) District, and Al-Zawahri the (2nd) in Command of Al Qadea, Osama bin Laden's top deputy finding common ground on many questions, and Dr. G. Westerwelle, the Foreign Minister of the Republic of Germany, [MR. EUROPE], who believe that there are no challenges’ that to difficult to over come and that the people are a lot smarter than given credit for, but it takes leadership, to over come differences.

[Lack of Leadership or Easier Said Than Done]

* Will there be [Change] coming from the Obama Administration, or is it too continue too be to much of a challenge, and easier said then done, its just more difficult than a lot of people realize!

* Will Israel’s Critics and enemies see the Empire’s (MIC), Military Industrial Complex as the side to blame for the ongoing violence between the Palestinian’s and the Israeli State, or is it too continue too be to much of a challenge, and easier said then done, its just more difficult than a lot of people realize!

* Should the United States review its unconditional support of the Jewish State of Israel, or is it too continue too be to much of a challenge, and easier said then done, its just more difficult than a lot of people realize!

* Should the United States cut its ($1T) One-Trillion Dollar, military force, and ending its military [Footholds, Trip Wires, and Occupations] the closing of all [300] Thee Hundred Military facilities around the Globe, we believe that Hillary will come around to seeing that times have changed this is the [21st] Century, and would in fact see this as the future, closing the book upon [20th] Century Old Think, at present it too continue too be to much of a challenge, and easier said then done, its just more difficult than a lot of people realize!

* Should the (IRI) International Republican Institute in conjunction with the support of the United States of Israel Military Industrial Complex fund Democracy Promotion, advisers, and equip insurgencies regimes for the hostile undermining of regimes and governments (Ukraine, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan), or is it too continue too be to much of a challenge, and easier said then done, its just more difficult than a lot of people realize!

* Should the Empire build a new offensive military installation on the boarder of the Russian Federation, (anti-missile defense?) in Europe when Dr. Westerwelle the Foreign Minister of the Republic of Germany is calling for the removal of all Nuclear Weapon from Germany and Europe, Dr. Westerwelle the new face of Europe Mr. Europe or is it too continue too be to much of a challenge, and easier said then done, its just more difficult than a lot of people realize!* Will the Media Messiah Imperial President of the Empire and its [MIC] Military Industrial Complex continue to break International Law, (UN) United Nations Charters, Treaties, Agreements, and Conventions by not closing the Guantanamo (Git-Mo), and other [Rendition] Centers around the globe, or is it too continue too be to much of a challenge, and easier said then done, its just more difficult than a lot of people realize!

* Will the Media Messiah Imperial President (MIC) return to the table to discuss arms control the cornerstone of international security that is of immediate concern prior to a Thermo-Nuclear War? Were hearing word’s but not action, or is it too continue too be to much of a challenge, and easier said then done, its just more difficult than a lot of people realize!

[2012]

We believe that in the end Hillary Diane Rodham-Clinton, will break with the Imperial Media Messiah President and his White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, and will mount a campaigne too unseat the Messiah in [2012], more as a centrist Democrat, who has been within the failed administration of the Messiah, having tried to but failing too bring reason to his presidency, is the only one in a unique historical position to truly bring [CHANGE] moving the country in a new direction, bring balance to a divided nation. We believe Hillary will answer the call, for navigating into the [21st] Century. We believe that as much as the Messiah has divided the Democratic Party, widened the gap between the Right and Left, and Divided the Nation to the point were Secession is a word that is openly spoken, Hillary will see herself as the only on who is destined to unite and heal a divided nation. We believe she can get the Democratic Party to unite behind her and unseat the Messiah.

SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE NANCY PELOSI

[Name Calling]

Now Mark Mardell’s America, at [WWW.BBC.CO.UK] COMMENTED UPON THE The Washington Post Article concerning the Empires “”chaos”, “a political storm”, “disarray” and “disorder”, Mark asked [Was Washington less filled with hate during those long decades when up on the Hill white men shared a comfy bipartisan drink while Americans couldn't share the same water fountain? I would be interested to read what you think.]and Nancy Pelosi become one of the topics of interests, among the bloggers, Now, the [BBC] British Broadcasting Moderators unlike the American-Israeli Empire sites is not into name calling, but be that as it may Nancy has been called Cruella, a person who Can’t Understand Normal Thinking, Imperious, She who would be queen, She Who Will Be Obeyed, House mother, Madam, Mother Superior, Mother Bear with her cubs, and redundant, accusations of humbug and hypocrisy, politically bias, the more polarising personalities ever too have occupied the post of House Speaker, embroiling herself in political controversy, and feuds have been meat and drink to Nancy Pelosi, a California liberal and always a lightning rod for Republican ire her poll numbers, and poll numbers are pretty much what you make them, and depend on who conduction them and for what, but again that being fact, Cruella’ poll numbers are nation wide;

Women Against Pelosi: 36%

Women For Pelosi: 31%

Men Against Pelosi: 2 to 1 Against

Mature Men Against: 56%

Mature Men For: 22%

Poll from Nancy Pelosi’s Congressional District;

Democratic for Pelosi: 72%

Independent for Pelosi: 17%

Republican for: 9%

Libertarian for: 2%

Now, there is no real disagreement that in the Upstate Northern California, San Francisco Congressional District, Nancy has a very safe bet of being re-elected, again, Again, and AGAIN. But, to say that it has nothing to do with money and/or Gerrymandering would at first seems a little far fetched, but some politicians tend to get re-elected time and Time again Sam Stratton, or Upstate New York, or Tom Delay of Texas and Dancing With The Stars, Two-Step fame, no matter how they Gerrymandered his district, the boy never failed to get re-elected, his district no matter how it was, the boy brought home the bacon, and got rewarded for it, and were not going to deny that Nancy’s is one of the safest seats in the House, that is not the issue, her husband would buy the seat, by making sure the contacts that Nancy steers his way, finds some of his profits into the district.

[Nancy's Hubby]

Nancy’s Hubby and Democratic United States California Senator Diane Feinstein’s Hubby have co-ownership of a San Francisco planning and engineering firm partially which in just [1] One of many contracts, and Army contract worth [$600M] Six-Hundred Million Dollars. And to think that by these [2] men not having been the husbands of [1] The House Speaker and the other a Senior Senator from Upstate Northern California, did not channel money or projects to hubby, now that is far fetched.

[Nancy and (AIPAC/AZC)]

* [AIPAC/AZC]: American Israel Public Affairs Committee/American Zionist Council, As every politically conscious individual of the Community of Nations on the face of the earth knows [All] The Empire [DC/544] are owned by the Israeli Government via its political pressure Lobbyist group The [AIPAC/AZC] American Israel Public Affairs Committee/American Zionist Council, the most powerful pro-Israeli lobbying organization, under the umbrella group and within the group of numerous and prominent pro-Israel organizations numbering (100K) One-hundred-Thousand, membership of neo-conservative Jewish lobbyists groups, connected to various influential caucus members of the Empire’s pro-Israel lawmakers.

According to the New York Times, At her Quarterly Pilgrimage to [AIPAC/AZC] meetings, of March 19, 2007,House Speaker Nancy Pelosi during a speech given there, received a smattering of boos and then was bullied-ragged, into scuttling;

* Any requirement that Bush come to the Hill before unleashing the [B-2s] on the Shi-ite Persian Republic of Iran, Arak, Natanz and Bushehr.

* And responding the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi capitulated to concerns/pressure, from conservative caucus members, and pro-Israel lawmakers under political patronage pressure, from [AIPAC/AZC], and was forced to strip from a military appropriations measure a provision meant to weaken President Bush's ability to respond to threats from Iran.

* And on Waterboarding interrogations, as the Senior Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, was briefed on enhanced interrogation techniques, water-boarding simulated drowning, upon captured prisoners, by the [CIA] Central Intelligence Agency, and when the [CIA] was in court defending its rights to keep its secrets over such interrogations, Nancy didn’t utter a word of dissent, while denying that she had any knowledge of such activities of the [CIA].

[So What’s The Answer]

Is Washington more or less filled with hate than during those long decades ago? Looking at just [1] one of the players, its up to the Dreamers, Thinkers, Workers, and [NetCitizens] of the [21st] Century, and history to give the final answer to that question.
