Mom PanHandles at off-ramp for Son's Dance Tuition Money.



Years ago I learned the power of standing at a street corner and letting the cars flow by you if you have a message to share. Shelle Curley is collecting up to 45 dollars AN HOUR by standing in the rain collecting donations for her son's future. Apparently Shelle Curley's son won a scholarship to a prestigious dance school, but the scholarship does not cover the entire cost of the tuition.

The internet is an amazing interactive force, but for the non famous, the internet cannot compare with standing on a busy street corner to spread a message, especially if the message is for a worthwhile cause, such as collecting donations for one's own son's tuition.

Could Ms. Curley have done as well collecting money if she had posted about her son on the internet, on blogs, etc? Doubtful.

Those Zany Democrats, closing GM & Chrysler Dealerships that only contributed to Republican Politicians...

(Edit update - Oct. 9, 2009). Apparently most dealerships give money to the republicans anyways, so no matter which dealerships got closed, the number of dealerships that gave to republican politicians was going to be a lot higher.

(Edit update - Nov.10, 2009)
It would be nice to know who first trotted out this smear to see if they did it trick everybody else, or if it was an honest mistake. However, should we be alarmed that dealerships in general give more money to the republicans rather than the democrats? If that is true, why are they doing that?

SOCIALISTIC NEWS ARTICLE RIPS BARACK OBAMA WITH SOME ACCURATE CRITICISM'S.

This is getting confusing. The Republicans are trying to gain a stronghold in the 2010 election cycle by calling Barack Obama a socialist, meanwhile the Socialist movement rips Barack Obama on many fronts and wants nothing to do with him!

However, I still think that the people that used to like Barack Obama also don't see the republicans doing anything to deserve huge gains in next years election, and these swing voters don't want socialism either.

This is getting really weird.

Here is the rather powerful one paragraph critique of Barack Obama's Jekyll and Hyde economic vision.

What is interesting about this second article is that all the actions taken, that the article condemns, were taken under the George Bush Administration. However, the article explains how it was the Wall Street Veterans that Barack Obama happily embraced that have allowed the power of the banks to grow by leaps and bounds AFTER Barack Obama became president.

If we can't put one nurse in every school, how can we handle health care for everybody?

I am a proponent of taking smaller steps before bigger steps. I was shocked by this CBS news video that revealed how some states have only one nurse available for over 3,000 students spanning across several schools, one nurse!
How about the present administration prop up the public school nurse program to the federally mandated one nurse per 750 students, first, before taking on bigger issues like healthcare reform. This is what I find problematic with the Barack Obama administration, they ignore the small stuff, attempt to tackle the big stuff, do behind the scene deals to make the big stuff happen, but the result is usually a watered down version of the original concept.

Meanwhile the real stuff, like having a school nurse in every school, or STOPPING CHASE BANK from raising monthly minimum payments on a MILLION of THEIR BEST CUSTOMERS by 150%, the customers who are never late with their payments and ARE faithfully paying down credit card debt, go unresolved by Barack Obama's "team of rivals".

R.I.P. Robert Reich's Blog.

(Edit note, Sept.22, 2009 approximately 1 to 2 weeks after writing this article for the September 2, 2009 DailyPUMA edition, Robert Reich's blog returned to it's prior format, which included allowing comments, and amazingly enough, the content seems to have gone back to being more about what is really going on than simply supporting the Barack Obama administration. Glad to have you back, Mr. Reich)

I only discovered Robert Reich's blog around a month or two ago. I was in awe at how dynamic and uncaring of WHO was in power as Mr. Reich's articles seemed to rely on truth and consequences.

In one article, Mr. Reich took a shot at those who were trumpeting the economy as if it was already recovering, and I found that refreshing. A pundit with a purpose other than to tote the political line.

Just as importantly, Mr. Reich ALLOWED COMMENTS under each of his blogs article.

About a two weeks ago I noticed the vibrantly independent Mr. Reich seeming to switch back to supporting more and more of the democratic party line talking points.

To my utter dismay, when I checked in a couple of days ago, NO COMMENTS from readers were allowed, and those from prior articles appear to have disappeared as well.

May I now add, R.I.P. to Mr. Reich's blog for disabling comments. I guess it makes sense that once one closes ranks and becomes either a republican or a democrat clone, allowing comments from readers may prove embarrassing as they are the ones that will begin to notice the shift in content analysis from what will help america to what will help their own party.

It appears Mr. Reich, that you have become, "one of them". I don't know how much longer Mr. Reich's blog will remain on DailyPUMA as the quality of his writing seems to have suffered now that the Stepfordian Syringe has been inserted and the numbing "we good, they bad" vaccine has been applied.

Comptroller of the Currency FAILS to rescue Chase Bank Customers just when they needed the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency most.

Here is a copy of the coyly worded Chase Bank Proviso the Comptroller of the Currency has left in so that Chase Bank can Defile and Default their customers out of their low interest, life of the loan credit agreements that were already in place. I had to cut and paste it as two sections because it started on the end of the first page, third column, and continued on the first column of the next page. There are no words missing between the first part and the second.
This is patently in correct, and I am surprised the Comptroller of the Currency would include this Chase Bank proviso in the credit card reform bill.
Paying down 2% of the minimum can in fact pay off a credit card in a timely fashion, it just depends on WHAT THE INTEREST RATE IS! If the interest rate is LOW, then even a 2% monthly minimum payment is PLENTY to pay down the debt in a reasonable amount of time.
There are times where high interest rates enslave a consumer and they can only tread water. Then there are times when a consumer has EARNED a low interest rate offer because of a stellar payment history. LEAVE THESE LOW INTEREST RATE PEOPLE ALONE!
The one million Chase Bank customers that Chase Bank is TARGETING ALL HAVE INTEREST RATES UNDER 6%! RAISING THEIR MONTHLY MINIMUM PAYMENT IS HURTING THEM FINANCIALLY IF THEY HAVE OTHER DEBT AT HIGHER INTEREST RATES.
This is highway robbery being committed by Chase Bank, and the Comptroller of the Currency seems to be aiding and abetting Chase Bank.
If you are hopping made about this wording please call (202) 874-5750 and tell the Community and Consumer Law Division of the Comptroller of the Currency that this section of the credit card reform bill must be changed so that people who are paying off higher credit card interest rate charges don't LOSE MONEY by now having to pay off low interest rate credit cards at a faster rate!

KENNEDY'S PASSING MAY RESULT IN A MORE "BANK FRIENDLY" CONGRESS, ARE YOU KIDDING ME, Tim Johnson from SOUTH DAKOTA to head Senate Banking Committee???

CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENGORGE.

A Sea of Red in this picture foreshadows the financial consumer terrorism democrat Tim Johnson from SOUTH DAKOTA might bring if appointed head of the Senate Banking Committee. South Dakota is only one of two states that allows banks to rape their customers with unlimited interest rate charges.

What happens when you live in the Twilight Zone, and then you enter another Twilight Zone from the Twilight Zone you were already in?
You get the Senate possibly appointing a senator FROM SOUTH DAKOTA to head the BANKING COMMITTEE now that Ted Kennedy has passed! South Dakota is one of ONLY TWO STATES in the entire country that has no USURY LAWS on the books, and is specifically why credit card companies can charge WHATEVER INTEREST RATE THEY WANT!
The passing of Ted Kennedy could result in Senator Tim Johnson of SOUTH DAKOTA HEADING the BANKING COMMITTEE! SOUTH FRICKIN DAKOTA! THE LAND OF USURY! HOME OF THE ECONOMICALLY ENSLAVEABLE (LINK).
Would Hillary Clinton have even allowed the discussion of Tim Johnson of South Dakota as the next head of the banking committee? Will Barack Obama allow this to happen? When do the "progressive democrats" say anything about this?

CHASE BANK SUPERVISORS REFUSE TO USE THE WORDS OPT OUT when adding notes to a customers account, Chase bank is above the Law, according to Chase Bank.

I was shocked to discover that the Chase Bank supervisor I talked to just moments ago
WOULD NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, include my request to opt out of their change in terms in the account notes that are kept with each and every account.
This is beyond fascism, beyond fraud. If Chase Bank account notes are ever subpoenaed, they will only show what the customer service rep said to me, NOT what I requested in return, because the customer service supervisor REFUSED TO MAKE THEM PART OF THE RECORD! This is beyond sleaze. The excuse Chase bank gives for not noting to my own account what I am requesting is all calls are recorded and the recording represents my side of the discussion! If recorded calls are NEVER TRANSCRIBED (and they are not), can you imagine the cost to transcribe all of those calls that come in every day!

It would be so prohibitive in cost to transcribe all of those customer service phone calls that it would simply line more law practices with wads of money trying to wade through a mountain of untranscribed but recorded phone calls.

Pretty soon, I will probably no longer associate with anyone who does anything with Chase Bank on any level, other than taking care of business they already have with them.
If I know you and you walk into a Chase Bank office and open up a new account, you are dead to me, forever.

For the record, today, about one half hour ago, I requested the right to OPT OUT of the change in terms that Chase Bank has initiated on my low interest rate, LIFE OF THE LOAN credit card agreement that was already in place.
The Chase Bank supevisor REFUSED to type into the history notes of my account the following, "Customer requests the right to OPT OUT of the Change in Terms on their account", request denied.
Chase Bank REFUSED to place that ONE SENTENCE in my own account history. Screw you Chase Bank. To deny me ONE SENTENCE to state what I was requesting, so that later on there would PROOF in the notes that I requested something, is deceptive, fraudulent, and the work of a company that is evil beyond words. In essence, Chase Bank would not even ACKNOWLEDGE MY REQUEST!

Since when can ANYBODY TELL US WHAT WE CAN AND CANNOT EVEN ASK FOR!

Barack Obama and Jamie Dimon, I pray those two are discovered as being in cahoots with each other in illegal activities and both go down at the same time via the FBI, sooner rather than later. Specifically, Jamie Dimon assisting ACORN last year in illegally collected credit card donations to Barack Obama's campaign, and this year, Barack Obama looking the other way as Chase Bank, breaks the bank in hostile actions towards its own customers.

THE CHASE BANK PROTEST IS ON, TIME TO MAIL YOUR CHASE BANK CREDIT CARD PAYMENT DIRECTLY TO THE CHASE BANK CORPORATE OFFICES!

You are reading an article located at DailyPUMA.com dated August 25, 2009.

(Edit Note, if you are concerned Chase Bank will use your sending your payment to corporate as an excuse to mark you late, you can focus your attention on the COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY INSTEAD. They are receiving comments on the credit card reform bill act until around September 21, 2009. The Comptroller of the Currency phone number is 202-874-5750.)


Edit note number - 3, I discovered another option for trying to deal with Chase Bank that is probably better than the article below. It involves the Chase Bank Balance Liquidation Program.

I am asking Chase Bank customers who want to show their solidarity against Chase Bank and an executive board that;
accepts bailout money from the government, receives federal reserve money at zero percent interest, is building new corporate jet hangars at a cost of over a hundred million dollars, is stagnating customer service jobs at home while expanding customer service jobs halfway around world, has cut home equity lines to well below fair market value, has cut credit card lines on people in the middle of their vacation, that data profiles its own customers to an extreme we are probably not aware of, that manipulates the stock market value of their own company so they can make more money on expiring Chase bank stock options, that raises interest rates on all of their credit cards and then gleefully announces that credit card defaults are up, and that has raised the monthly minimum credit card payment on low interest loans of customers who have never been late with their payments from 300 dollars to 750 dollars....
....I am asking that you, Chase Bank credit card customers, help protest Chase Bank by SENDING YOUR CREDIT CARD PAYMENT DIRECTLY TO THE CHASE BANK CORPORATE OFFICE.
Make these Chase Bank executives EARN THEIR BLOATED PAY AND OBSCENE BONUSES, make them SEE your payments.
Let the Chase bank executive officers and their personnel actually SEE the payment envelope that contains your sweat and stress payment inside. Oh, the INDIGINITY that will bring to the Chase Bank Corporate Offices, to actually have to see the payment envelopes of the customer minions they stomp on with their arrogant attitudes and actions.
Chase Bank seems so aloof about their actions now that their best buddy Barack Obama is in the white house, lets make the executive offices see your payment as a way for you to support your fellow citizen who is being unfairly afflicted by Chase Bank methods and actions.
Remember, the Chase Bank customers who are having their monthly payments raised from 300 dollars to 750 dollars as you read this are the people who WANT TO PAY DOWN THEIR DEBTS, WERE NEVER LATE WITH THEIR PRIOR CHASE CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS, AND, WERE ALREADY PAYING DOWN THEIR CHASE BANK CREDIT CARD DEBT EVERY MONTH!
Increasing credit card payments requirements is not a bad idea, but changing terms on people after an agreement is already in place and forcing customers to accept the change without the right to simply opt out of the BANK INITIATED CHANGE IN TERMS in my opinion is reprehensible.

Defaulting or raising the monthly minimum credit card account if a customer cannot make the bigger payment amount is nothing more than a debtors prison of indentured servitude created by a banking system that has recently been bailed out by consumer tax money!

I can vouch for the Chase Bank mailing address below as it came from written correspondence I received directly from Chase Bank.
PLEASE DO NOT ABUSE THE PRIVILEGE of the phone information by yelling at the people who pick up the phone on the other end. ONLY USE THE PHONE NUMBERS TO VERIFY that Chase Bank received your payment.
BE POLITE! Yes, be polite when calling to verify that Chase Bank received your payment. Politeness will actually freak them out more than if you yell at them. Chase bank will then see that we are a united front, from the polite way we call to verify that our payment was received.
Wait 5 working days from when you mail the payment BEFORE CALLING to then verify that Chase bank corporate office got your payment. I would suggest mailing your payment in REAL EARLY, at least 10 working days ahead of the due date.
BE CAREFUL of a fraudulent attempt to reproduce this article and paste it elsewhere on the internet by someone who may then change the address to a different one that I am providing below! Link those interested directly to this article located at dailypuma.com if possible.

Usually you can google an address to verify that the address is valid. So please feel free to google the mailing address I am providing below to verify that it is an actual valid Chase Bank corporate office address and you should probably call them as well.

However, I no longer think this is the way to go. Chase Bank can harm a million people, even cause them to lose their homes, and the news media doesn't report about it. At the very least, get the best deal possible by learning about the Chase Bank Balance Liquidation Program.

I would also suggest snapping a digital still image of your payment envelope (with the stamp already on it), just before you mail the envelope as proof that you mailed the payment to Chase Bank corporate offices.

FAX 1-847-488-6740
Toll Free 1-888-622-7547 Ext. 6751
Attn: Becky Dietz or Nancy Stoneman
Once again, I am of the opinion that you should NOT CALL UNTIL FIVE WORKING DAYS AFTER MAILING YOUR CHASE BANK CREDIT CARD PAYMENT, and make sure you MAIL YOUR PAYMENT AT LEAST 10-12 WORKING DAYS BEFORE THE DUE DATE, and IF YOU CALL, BE POLITE, YOU ARE SIMPLY CALLING TO VERIFY THAT CHASE BANK RECEIVED YOUR PAYMENT.
Better to dump our "tea party protest payment" in the laps of Chase Bank executive offices so they can see we are upset, no?

Hmmm, maybe we should mail our payments into the white house, in care of Barack Obama. According to a New York Times article, Jamie Dimon is Barack Obama's favorite Wall Street Banker, maybe Mr. Obama can hand the checks over directly to Jamie Dimon next time they pal around together.

Death Panels may not Exist, but DELAY Panels DO EXIST, you just may not have experienced it, but Don Imus probably has and my Father definitely did.

CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE.
In my opinion, Misplaced Democrat Nancy Armstrong was a victim of the medical system. She wasn't the victim of a "death panel", but from the little I have read at "Free me now", Nancy Armstrong appears to have been the victim of a Delay Squad. Ms. Armstrong reported she had chest pains, but was told that once they subsided, they would do more tests. HUH?

I won't call Ms. Armstrong's lack of treatment the result of a Death panel, but I would classify it death by Delay panel, and in Nancy's case, Delaying was all it took for her to leave two kids and a husband behind.

Delay squads are one way to reduce medical costs while still looking like you are caring for everybody. I witnessed this very thing happen to my father when his prostate cancer was about to take over his body. The key phrase being, "about to take over his body". His kidney function was dropping, so his medical plan scheduled a kidney ultrasound, ONE MONTH LATER! Do you know how critical a one month delay is to someone who is experiencing a significant increase in their PSA score?

As outrageous of a delay as that one month was, I tried to use that time to get a second opinion and to take care of my father's teeth. Even though the second opinion doctor recommended a CT scan and continued use of the Lupron shot, his medical plan only offered a bone scan, and grudgingly only did one final lupron shot.

When I asked if the Lupron shot in conjunction with any other treatment might slow down the advance of his prostate cancer, I was told no. Even though I later found on the internet that combining Lupron with a trial drug produced somewhat startling results. I had made it clear 3 years earlier that my father was willing to be involved in clinical trials, as long as he wasn't given a placebo. The doctors never found anything for my father to participate in even though the doctors claimed they were aware of all the clinical trials going on.
I guess they missed the one above that profiled perfectly for my father, or, my father was simply too old to be eligible for ANY clinical trial.
As for bone scans, they only have limited usefulness. Bone scans rely on the premise that a person's cancer will go directly from where it is, to the bones. So cancer patients who get bone scans and the scans are clear may feel relieved, even though their cancer could be spreading internally from one organ to another without going to the bones!

CT Scans, which cost a lot more, can actually locate the exact spot where cancer may have spread to. CT Scans are more costly as they required a skilled medical evaluator to piece the various layers of the scan together properly, and then interpret the results. CT scans can lead to more costly but effective treatments once it is known exactly where the cancer really is, yet CT Scans are avoided in favor of bone scans for prostate cancer victims, as least they were in my fathers case.

Even Don Imus was given a Bone Scan for his prostate cancer, Don Imus! What a half load of crap that is. Are you in on the deceit Donny Boy? Did you get a CT scan as well but the press release states your bone scan is all you needed in an effort to deceive other men who also have prostate cancer into thinking they are ok because their prostate cancer has not reached the bone yet?
Meanwhile, prostate cancer SLOWLY spreads to other organs while we are told to only worry about it when it reaches the bones. A prostate cancer patient can literally die from cancer waiting for prostate cancer to reach the bones.
Not only that, there are NO CLINICAL TRIAL STUDIES THAT INCLUDE men or women over the age of 70 -75 years.
Not including men or women who are beyond a certain age in clinical trials is a form of death paneling. The results of the elderly DO NOT have to be included in the overall statistical results. Instead, the entire medical industry avoids older patients in studies because they claim they could skew the results in a negative way for people who are younger and who could possibly handle new drugs more effectively than an elderly person could.
The excuse given that older patients may skew the overall results of a clinical trial seem to belie the fact that what helps or does not help a 75 year old clinical trial patient does not have to be included in a study for someone who is 40 years of age.
Do you see the insanity of that? If someone is 75 years old, and they want to try some form of clinical trial, they are DENIED being included in any study because they are TOO OLD! I Call that Death Paneling, and that IS presently going on.
Is it really that complicated to waive the age results over a certain age? No.
ALL AGES SHOULD BE REPRESENTED IN CLINICAL TRIALS IF PATIENTS OF ANY AGE WANT TO PARTICIPATE.
But older men and women ARE excluded because why do we want the elderly to live longer? That is the only reason I can come up with for denying clinical trials for men or women over the age of 70.
Elderly men and women are actually being denied one final chance to have a few more years of life in exchange for being involved in clinical trials. The only reason I can see for doing this is to avoid finding a treatment that may extend the lives of those who are in their 70's already. Apparently they already are on a schedule to die, by the system.

So, to anyone who backs Barack Obama's plan, and is outraged that there is talk of death panels, they exist in the form of Delay Panels, and in the form of doing DELAYED, LOWER COST TESTS that won't reveal where cancer is spreading to, until it is too late.

This gives the cancer more time to spread so that when it is found, the only plan left is to offer you Home Hospice Care until your loved one dies. If you want to pass some type of health care system for anybody, make sure it includes TIMELY tests, doesn't exclude CT scans over bone scans every time, and make sure the country is not creating bigger and bigger deficits to fund it. (good luck on the last one).

One final point, my father did receive a lot of excellent medical care, and lets not confuse hospital care with HMO plans. It was the hospital that finally did what the HMO PLAN hid from us as an option, which was give my father a CT Scan, however, by then, the cancer had spread all over and it was just a matter of weeks before my father would pass.

Yet a year earlier, it was a different hospital that kicked my dad out prematurely. I pleaded with that hospital to not release my father because we would not know if they actually fixed the problem or simply provided temporary relief.

I knew we would be back at the hospital emergency room later that same day with a repeat of the same problem, which is EXACTLY what happened, except we never went back to the hospital from the morning. I wonder if perhaps the first hospital kicked my dad out after thread bare care because they did not want to be saddled with the cost of the CT scan, a CT scan that my fathers healthcare plan never discussed as an option with us.

Rather than do a CT scan when it might have extended my father's life by giving us critical information before his cancer began spreading rapidly, the CT scan was only given, almost a year later, to let us know he only had a few weeks to live.

Paul Krugman in the tank for Barack Obama? Krugman states that Bill Clinton did not oversee any economic recovery in the 90's!

I just put the question mark at the end of the headline because I don't have "proof", but when Krugman says things like... "Bill Clinton was able to run on "the economy, stupid'- well into an alleged economic recovery"....

Huh? So Bill Clinton did nothing in his two terms that helped the economy? I don't trust Mr. Krugman, it seems every piece is "Barack Obama's economic plan, good", no matter what the economic data is that is coming out.

Can an economy really recover when the job market is down AND the american people are being charged 15-25 billions dollars EVERY MONTH in interest on their credit card debt?

LINKS BETWEEN ACORN, BARACK OBAMA, JAMIE DIMON & CHASE BANK GROWING by the DAY.

I just became aware of an article from August 10, 2009,
My claim from August 13th still stands, The FBI is afraid to take down Jamie Dimon because it could mean charges being filed against either Barack Obama, or members who directly report to Barack Obama.

In the misguided words of George Bush, "Bring it on".

Credit Card Changes || WXYZ.com | WXYZ-TV / Detroit | Detroit News, Weather, Sports and More


Chase Bank recently targeted as many as 2 million of their most loyal, never late paying customers with a gargantuan increase in their monthly minimum payment requirement. The Increase in the monthly minimum payment went from 2% of the balance due to 5% of the balance due. 

The reason these customers were specifically targeted was because they had life of the loan, low interest rate credit card agreements with Chase Bank.

Chase Bank may have recently relabeled low interest rate credit card loans as a toxic asset! To dump these "toxic asset" credit card loans, Chase Bank accelerated the monthly minimum due on these accounts by a whopping 150%!

If you were paying 400 dollars a month, your new monthly minimum would have increased to 1,000 dollars a month!

If you could not afford the increase in the monthly minimum payment hike, you would forfeit your super low interest rate of 1.99, 2.99, 3.99, 4.99 or 5.99. Your new interest rate could be as much as 29.99%!

How dare you, the customer, methodically pay off a low interest rate, life of the loan credit card agreement, in a steady and reliable manner, never being late with your payments, you Toxic Asset, you!(sarcasm alert).

If you were one of as many as 2 million Chase Bank customers/victims who saw your monthly minimum payment increase from 2% to 5% you can go to any of my free credit card blogs and get information on how to possibly re-lower your monthly minimum payment from 5% back down to 2%. 


In the video at the top of this article, the Chase Bank customer was also a recent hospital patient.

Could Barack Obama's favorite Wall Street Banker, Chase Bank's Jamie Dimon, possibly be implementing data profiling tactics on recent hospital patients?  That is not what I call health care reform.

issue is that some of McNeato's
literal videos were taken down
by youtube after music company
reps complained about the
lampooning of their music.

So the very video he spoke of
as having a couple million hits
was no longer on youtube.

What Did Bill Clinton Do to Hurt You Republicans in the 90's that you STILL CARRY A GRUDGE against the Clintons TODAY, and perhaps FOREVER.


What did Bill Clinton actually do that affected YOUR OWN PERSONAL LIFE in such a horrible way that it justifies automatically hating both Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton for the rest of their lives?

Is the Republican scarlet letter that you proudly hoisted upon Bill Clinton's forehead what you cling to to validate your own less lived life, really the best you got?

Do those republicans who live in Frumpville USA, really judge others? Really?

Are you so sure that if your whole life didn't revolve around social/political events in which adults of both sexes spent weeks planning their wardrobe, hair, make up and perfume, all in an effort to leave a lasting impression on you that one time they get to meet you; that you too would absolutely have remained loyal to all the same values that can so easily be honored in your own private life while strolling around in baggy clothes while unkempt, unwashed, unshaven for days on end?

Can you really name something that Bill Clinton did to you in the 90's that caused you hardship? Before you bring up NAFTA, you do realize that that was done in part to help stem the flow of immigration into the United States by providing some type of economy for Mexicans, in Mexico. And of course, lets not forget that the republicans backed NAFTA as well.

The same republican witch hunting hate machine that tried to grind Bill Clinton's presidency to a halt in its first two years, were at it again in his final two years as president. Are you willing to admit that it was pure Republican hatred and jealousy that froze President Clinton from accomplishing more in his final two years in office. Are you proud that your Republican leaders felt it was more important to attack Bill Clinton on personal matters rather than focus on more important issues related to security and terrorism? You do recall that anytime President Clinton tried to focus on important issues, republican politicians accused him of trying to take focus away from their witch hunt of Bill Clinton.

As president, Bill Clinton was willing to use the best idealogy from both sides of the political landscape, and his reward from the republican side was "How Dare You STEAL our ideas and take credit for them". Even the democratic side was initially upset when there was the inevitable loss of senate seats after Mr. Clinton's first two years in office.

I'm now a believer that the politicians that draw anger from both sides of the political spectrum are probably those who hold the interests and well being of america on par with their own.

I am sick and tired of republicans thinking it is OK and par for the course to simply hate the Clintons forever, without even knowing why, or to hate the Clintons without being able to name one thing that Bill Clinton did to them personally in the 90's that requires the Clintons be lambasted for life.

Bill Clinton doesn't need your forgiveness, if anything, you should be asking Bill Clinton to forgive you for your ongoing hatred against a family that brought some sense of stability to the 90's, and did nothing to you personally that deserves a life long grudge in return.

As for Hillary Clinton, when you see all the snarky media males gang up on her, just because, take a moment and fight for her, it's what an OBOT does when Barack Obama comes under fire.

Hillary Clinton in the Congo being asked what Bill Clinton thought, as Marisa Tormei said in My Cousin Vinnie, "It's a bullshit question".


It's a bullshit question, Marissa Tormei from my Cousin Vinny correctly replies. Ironically, if Hillary Clinton had said that, she would have been skewered by the press. Before you can see the one minute video clip you have to state you are over 18 years of age. It is my opinion that you don't have to answer with the exact year you were actually born if you feel that is being invasive, just as long as you are 18 years of age or older.

If anyone would like to take a moment and respond in the comments section with what Hillary Clinton "should have said" during that Congo Question and Answer session when she was asked by a male member of the audience "What Bill Clinton thought about China and the World Bank's involvement in Congo", that would NOT have been turned against her by either the media or by political pundits, please, educate me. Otherwise, "It's a bullshit question".

But prepared for me to demonstrate how the media would have spun your response to put Hillary Clinton down no matter what her response would have been.

One more gripe, I could not find this scene on Youtube. Just one more example of how amazing women's scene don't end up on youtube.
