VP Biden explained that there was no question that the $$$ was distributed correctly, or that it wasn't account for, just that it wasn't filed correctly. Only 70 of over 30,000 were filed incorrectly, and they are being looked at for errors. After all, when you have to throw something together, it takes some time to work out the bugs. I have worked for companies that have launched software programs which take months to get straightened out. It's ridiculous to expect perfection, esp from the government, but go ahead and criticize anyway. I am sure McCain would have done a much better job, eh?
Yes, I will criticize. As I did Mr. Bush, Mr. Clinton, Mr. Bush before, Mr. Reagan, Mr. Carter...and those before. Yes, I will. I refuse to see this administration with blinders. I have not afforded any other administration, Congress, Party, invidual, a free pass when they did something that warrants comment and criticisms when appropriate. Especially if it involves The People.
When you have to throw something together... As in TARP, the stimulus, and now, a massive overhaul of our health care system with the Government, from which it is ridiculous to expect perfection (or competence, efficiency, predictions...), offering proposals no one can truly follow. If the past serves as a guide to the future, expect any bill of the sort resting in The House and under initial review by The Senate, to morph beyond its original scope and intent and to explode a new hole in a bleeding-to-death spending spiral.
Ok, we must believe VP Biden only because he said it was, for the most part, done correctly. And how does that excuse what should be a Congressional Investigation into the creation of new Congressional Districts, some of which are listed as having jobs saved/created? You don't make that degree of error without a purpose. This has the distinct stench of typical Chicago-style politics. You know, where the dead arise on Election Day to vote blue.
No more than believing Rhode Island has a 99th Congressional District, as discerned for the first time ever, or that other States have hitherto unknown Congressional Districts, when jobs saved or created were tallied and touted had such errors owing to "an inexact science". You have to be purposefully inexact to create whole Congrssional Districts.

That vanished into thin air (literally- they claim the money disappeared... raise your hand if you believe that).

I don't see anything that makes this guy a Communist. His worst sin was signing on to a document that raises the far fetched suspicion that the US government looked the other way as 9/11 happened. Even then, it calls for an investigation rather than making a condemnation. If everyone who subscribes to a paranoid CT is a Communist, then we're a Marxist state right now. I'm not aware of it.
Calling Republicans assholes doesn't make anyone a Communist, nor does comparing Bush to a drug addict. As if even worse terms haven't been used on Democrats! It's just a symptom of the nasty political climate that exists now.
Obama has retained the Secretary of Defense from the Bush administration. He has reappointed Ben Bernanke, a Republican, to the chairmanship of the Federal Reserve. My God, that must make Obama a closet...Republican!!!
Mr. Jones declared himself to be a Communist. No one's words or thoughts, smear or slander. Simply Mr. Jones confession on the matter.
I don't consider myself a truther or a wild conspiracy theorist, but really, is it too much to ask why, fifty minutes after the WTC was hit, Washington D.C. was left completely unprotected? I understand DOD was running war games that day, but damn, our fighters have a range of about 1500 miles an hour.
I agree completely that it's not too much to ask why this happened. Along with a lot of other hard questions about the whole disaster.
But, turf wars, personal rivalries, arrogance, butthole obstinacy, self-delusion, bad organization, and good old incompetence - you know, the usual - should be thoroughly considered before entertaining the concept of malicious conspiratorial motives.
I don't see anything that makes this guy a Communist.
How about his own declaration to that effect? “I met all these young radical people of color – I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, ‘This is what I need to be a part of… I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary…I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th..By August, I was a communist.”
And...? The rest of the story? Plenty of people have moved to the center, or even the right, after their student activist days. David Horowitz is one of the more famous examples.
What's the guy now? Looks like he embraces eco-capitalism.
Here's another of his declarations, from his book, The Green Collar Economy :
"So in the end, our success and survival as a species are largely and directly tied to the new eco-entrepreneurs - and the success and survival of their enterprises. Since almost all of the needed eco-technologies are likely to come from the private sector, civic leaders and voters should do all that can be done to help green business leaders succeed. That means, in large part, electing leaders who will pass bills to aid them. We cannot realistically proceed without a strong alliance between the best of the business world -and everyone else."
We need enterpreneurs - to survive, even Needed technologies will come from the private sector The populace and its leaders should help certain business leaders succeed We need an alliance between the business world and everyone else
If you didn't know the author, you'd think this came from a Chamber of Commerce. And that's probably why the Obama administration hired him.

The Bay Area's Van Jones — the Special Advisor for Green Jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality — just finished apologizing for calling Republicans "a-holes" when he got something else to start explaining: How his signature got on a 2004 petition asking for an immediate "inquiry into evidence that suggests high-level government officials may have deliberately allowed the September 11th attacks to occur." Van said he didn't carefully review the petition before signing it "certainly does not reflect my views now or ever."
Bad sign: When asked if Jones still enjoys the confidence of the President Friday, White House flak Robert Gibbs said "he continues to work in this administration."

...b b b but didn't the Communists kill the Czars or Tsars ?
Is this the same thing as when we broke up AT&T ?
AT&T came back ...
Reagan instituted the Czar posts. But he was a brain dead mutha, so we can't really hold him accountable cuz he never spoke or did anything that the little voice in the earbud didn't direct him to say and do. So, yah... you can't be a Commie and a Czar at the same time. So lay off whazzizname, alright already?
Dubya has one of those too! His has a voice which continually sez, "Breathe In... Breathe Out... Breathe In... Breathe Out..."
