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.

Literal Video, Pure YouTube Genius.

I wonder what the next step is for this
youtube genius. Double click on the

Upon Further review, the youtube
filmmaker above CREDITS DUSTO

However, not all of Dusto McNeato's

I have asked Mr. McNeato to separate
his videos into more understandable
categories since the literal videos
are so funny.

Sloppy reporting by the late night
news for not giving out proper

(edit update), what confused the
issue is that some of McNeato's
literal videos were taken down
by youtube after music company

lampooning of their music.

So the very video he spoke of

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.

DailyPUMA Slightly shifts some blogs from the inner right column to the outer right column.

In case you are used to looking at one column for a specific blog, I noticed that the inner right column was "descending" topics at a much faster rate than the outer column over the first several hours. This was due in part to my adding some new blogs in the past couple of weeks to the inner column.

If I shifted your blog to the outer right column it was entirely to help ensure that your blog wasn't descending too fast by being in the inner right column.

---------------------------------------------

Two blogs were recently dropped for their "handling" of the Hillary Clinton Congo incident. Their criticism of Hillary Clinton's response to the what would Bill Clinton think question revealed them to be PUMA's that are not for Hillary Clinton. I am not against criticizing Hillary Clinton, but when it is so obviously either another media attempt to "put her in her place", or a republican led assault, then why go along if you really are a PUMA?

The Media treatment of Hillary Clinton is basically one of the primal tenets that caused PUMA's to be born, no?

I will also issue this request, If ANYONE can come up with what Hillary Clinton should have said when she was asked "What Bill Clinton thought about China and the World Bank's involvement in Congo" question, that would not have resulted in Hillary Clinton being skewered by the media or her political opponents, please, put it in the comments section.

I don't believe an answer exists that would have allowed Hillary Clinton to get away unscathed from that question. It is what used to be known as a "wife beating" question.
In the earlier days of our court system, lawyers would ask an opposing defendant, plaintiff or witness "if they STILL beat their wives".

No matter how one answers the question, they are made to look as if they beat their wife at one time or another. That is the type of situation that Hillary Clinton was put in, in Congo.

More Credit Card Industry Shenanigans involving WHAT YOU USE YOUR CREDIT CARD FOR! HOW DARE YOU PURCHASE FROM A THRIFT STORE!

You need to just give up and roll over, that appears to be the Barack Obama way. How dare you try and save money by purchasing from a thrift store, you obviously need to be red flagged and condemned.

Remember, there are no death panels in the Barack Obama administration, but there appear to be reassessment panels that decide if you are worthy of respect or not. Yes, we have another decider in the white house, a decider of health care who blew off his own dying mother in Hawaii so he could travel to Bali to finish writing his tribute book to his deadbeat, sperm donor father.

Oh, wait, someone may protest, you can't blame Barack Obama because credit card companies are punishing people for trying to live within their means. Yes, we can, and yes, we should.

As long as Barack Obama pridefully views Jamie Dimon of Chase Bank as his favorite Wall Street Banker, Barack Obama can take responsibility for all of the evil and UNNECESSARY TACTICS the Credit Card Companies are spewing onto the american consumer.

I am not against the credit card companies using SOME data profiling to determine cost risk analysis. For instance, people who run up credit card bills in bars and strip joints are more likely to default on their credit card account. However, to apply that same measuring cup to someone who is buying from a thrift store is insulting, and discriminatory. As a consumer aptly pointed out, buying from a thrift store enables them to balance their overall budget.

Barack Obama seems intent on fixing the pain others have allegedly cost even as he stands idly by while his wall street credit card buddies create their own brand of pain. One area that credit card companies refused to explore, and one that is so necessary at this point in time, is credit card debt reductioning. Credit card companies are shutting down credit to people ovenight.

If someone pays down their credit card bill 150 dollars, let them respend 50 bucks of it for small purchases. This is such an obvious, obvious solution to the current credit card debt problems that is purposely being ignored by the banks, why, I don't know.

Again, this gets into an area of incentivizing credit card debt paydowns. Even as companies like Chase Bank unfairly put the screws to their own credit card customers by NOT offering credit card paydown incentives, they do continue to offer new customer incentives to lure them into the same traps they have in place for existing customers.

IT IS TIME for an INVESTIGATION to FIND OUT WHY BARACK OBAMA LIKES JAMIE DIMON of CHASE BANK SOOOOOOO MUCH.

CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE
CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE
CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE

CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE

CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE

Is it possible that both Jamie Dimon and Barack Obama are so dirty that one cannot be taken down via investigation without the other going down as well? Is there too much fear in doing the right thing and really getting to the bottom of the democratic campaign donation fraud of 2008 because it might have involved both Jamie Dimon and Barack Obama?

How can Barack Obama stand idly by Now while Jamie Dimon ruins the lives of americans that actually pay their chase credit card bills on time! One answer is, Barack Obama is so beholden to Jamie Dimon, he has no choice.
Could Jamie Dimon, by helping Barack Obama and or ACORN last year during the 2008 election, be the reason Barack Obama is perfectly fine with letting a MILLION CHASE BANK CREDIT CARD HOLDERS FACE DEFAULT for doing nothing more than ALWAYS PAYING THEIR LOW INTEREST CREDIT CARD BILL ON TIME, EACH AND EVERY MONTH!

How can Barack Obama look anybody in the eye and demand they take responsibility for their own "hood" when he lets Jamie Dimon hoodwink the american people and people who do the right thing every month and pay their bills?

Can Barack Obama stand up to Jamie Dimon, or we can rightfully assume that Barack Obama is beholden to Jamie Dimon on matters that if disclosed to the public, could mean the end of Barack Obama's presidency?

You can't have it both ways Barack Obama, you can't be chummy with a banker like Jamie Dimon while claiming you believe in change. Jamie Dimon is as old school as they come, how about you, Barack Obama?

If Barack Obama is being investigated but there is too much fear to do anything about it, lets not forget, Barack Obama could probably write such an amazing resignation speech he probably will still have an opportunity to run again, preferably AFTER Hillary Clinton gets a second chance to make a first impression.

Text Messaging "solution" when in the presence of other family members.

Over the years I have worked on low budget video and film projects with people who have come to Los Angeles from all over the world, the emphasis on low budget, and all over the world.

One characteristic that I have always found a bit alienating (ha ha) are the foreign language discussions that get intermixed within the English discussions. The foreign language discussion instantly excludes half the set, and those who are speaking in the other language don't seem to mind that others on the set can't follow along.

So when texting came along, it was deja vu all over again. I can be standing next to somebody who one moment was talking to me, then the next is engaged in a foreign language discussion with an invisible friend via the language of textila (Ok I made textila up). One second they are talking to me, the next, they are immersed in textilian discussions with someone who is not even there!
Can you imagine hit men who use texters to set up targets. Assistant Texter hit man texting to hit man "yeah, he's standing right next to me, he told me he will be here for the next 15 minutes."
Assistant Texter hit man turns to target, "where did you say you were going next?" Target politely answers...
Assistant Texter hit man texts, "Will then be going to see a movie around the corner", then dinner across the street"
"Thank you and tell target to have a really good last night of his life" the hit man texts back to the assistant texter hit man. "ha ha" assistant texter hit man texts back.
While I don't have an answer to the above scenario other than "don't talk to strange texter's", especially if they ask you what you are doing that evening and then immediately text after your response, I do propose a new texting rule for families.

Texting should have an audio option that I call "loudcast". A parental unit should have the right to demand that any texting being done in their presence by their offspring, be heard by them before it is transmitted, aka "loudcast". Imagine being able to playback all of your children's text messages for the entire day in loudcast.

I bet Verizon will salivate if they are given this idea.

Dare I claim to having come up with two new words in the same article, textila and loudcasting (Textila and Loudcasting kind of sounds like a Thema and Louise movie updated for the hand gadget age).

Imagine your son Jimmy is texting his friend about how he can't stand his parents, aka you and spouse, and doing it while you are standing just a few feet away (Is Jimmy training to be a future "assistant texter" hit man?). When Jimmy hits the send button, I am proposing that the text message is "loudcast" loud enough for his parents to hear the text message, should the parents choose to want to hear the message.

Isn't the internet great for sharing cool ideas that will get stolen and no numeration given.

So there is my contribution to the world today, Textila and Loudcast, playing at a theatre near you. Textila is a person who engages in a texting discussion while ignoring people in the same room, Loudcasting lets you listen to your children's text messages whenever they begin to text with you in the room.

Lost in Translation, why Hillary Clinton was annoyed by a question directed towards Bill Clinton.

Hillary Clinton has made the news shown testily responding to what was a dumb and insulting question. The question was dumb because it was directed towards Bill Clinton, who was not at the question and answer session.

But what gets lost in translation is that Hillary Clinton, although on a stage with curtains behind her, just like what you might see at any town hall meeting in the U.S., WAS INSTEAD IN THE CONGO!

Can anyone of us even begin to imagine how annoying it must have been to travel halfway around the world, then travel within the Congo, arrange a public forum, and then be asked a question about what Bill Clinton thinks?

In retrospect, it might have been funny if Hillary Clinton had pulled out her cell phone, hit the old speed dial, and then talked to her husband right then and there and relayed the question.

But who knows how that would have played out. I could see Jay Leno then joking that now we know who Hillary Clinton would have called at 3am if she had become president and there was an emergency.
It seems as if we expect our politicians to never show contempt in public under any circumstance, but then we complain that politicans are phony.
I'm glad Hillary was annoyed and showed it, that's the best way to alleviate stress brought on by having to answer a stupid question in a public forum. Unfortunately, being a woman will cause the media and all the male late night host comedians to now ridicule Hillary Clinton rather than the questioner.

If it had been a male politician responding to a dumb question, these same male late night host comedians would have probably gone after the questioner instead. Remember John McCain and the woman who thought Barack Obama was a muslim and an Arab. John McCain responded something to the effect, "no he's an american". The unsaid snub being that if Barack obama were Arab that somehow that would have been a bad thing. Who took the media hit, McCain, or the woman? Saturday Night live made fun of the woman, and that clip was played over and over by the mainstream media over the next couple of days.

Lets take this one step further. The best way out of the situation, is to prevent it from ever happening. If Hillary Clinton was able to control each and every question that was asked, could she have achieved a better result? As we know now, controlling questions is a privilege reserved for Barack Obama press conferences. If Hillary Clinton had tried controlling each and every question, and been caught doing it, she would have been ridiculed by the media, for being controlling and manipulative.
The conclusion is, there was no way out until female members of the media GROW UP and stand up to the men and defend female politicians.
I seriously hope Rush Limbaugh keeps his trap shut about this incident, or at least has the decency to go the Congo first before opening his yap. As it stands now, NewsMax has already turned this into a Hillary versus Bill issue, when it was not.
