Re: Obamanomics

So all the oil that would run through the XL pipeline would go to China? If not all, what %? If that is the case, why would it even be considered?
No, not all the oil. Would depend on demand but China is an emerging economy with 9% growth of GDP. But since it's a world market, the oil doesn't stay here. It goes where the oil is being consumed. Remember, the US just became a net exporter. Weird.

I just kind of put things on a smaller level and put myself in the picture. If I was appearing in front of a judge for say, traffic tickets. I wouldn't be saying, Listen Judge, you aren't even going to consider half of those tickets because the cop's crazy. So, the highest level of punishment is not applicable to me." Yeah, I could see that happening. NOT. I'd be "yes sir, no sir...."

Things are given to SCOTUS to review and decide......they make the decisions!
From what I have seen of Supreme Court proceedings, attorneys often make bold declarative statements and back it up with law and case law.

They may cite law & case, but it's to support their argument, not to dictate to the judges how they must decide.

Re: Obamanomics

I thought I would throw this in just for the hell of it.

Thomas Sowell (born June 30, 1930) is an American economist, social theorist, political philosopher, and author. A National Humanities Medal winner, he advocates laissez-faire economics and writes from a libertarian perspective. He is currently a Rose and Milton Friedman Senior Fellow on Public Policy at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. Sowell was born in North Carolina, but grew up in Harlem, New York City. He dropped out of high school, and served in the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War. He had received a bachelor's degree from Harvard University in 1958 and a master's degree from Columbia University in 1959. In 1968, he earned his doctorate degree in economics from the University of Chicago. Dr. Sowell has served on the faculties of several universities, including Cornell and University of California, Los Angeles, and worked for "think tanks" such as the Urban Institute. Since 1980 he has worked at the Hoover Institution. He is the author of more than 30 books.
____________________________________________________
The following is written by Dr. Sowell, and I quote:
"The current Occupy Wall Street movement is the best illustration to date of what President Barack Obama's America looks like. It is an America where the lawless, unaccomplished, ignorant and incompetent rule. It is an America where those who have sacrificed nothing pillage and destroy the lives of those who have sacrificed greatly."

" It is an America where history is rewritten to honor dictators, murderers and thieves. It is an America where violence, racism, hatred, class warfare and murder are all promoted as acceptable means of overturning the American civil society."

"It is an America where humans have been degraded to the level of animals: defecating in public, having sex in public, devoid of basic hygiene. It is an America where the basic tenets of a civil society, including faith, family, a free press and individual rights, have been rejected. It is an America where our founding documents have been shredded and, with them, every person's guaranteed liberties."

"It is an America where, ultimately, great suffering will come to the American people, but the rulers like Obama, Michelle Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, liberal college professors, union bosses and other loyal liberal/Communist Party members will live in opulent splendor."

"It is the America that Obama and the Democratic Party have created with the willing assistance of the American media, Hollywood, unions, universities, the Communist Party of America, the Black Panthers and numerous anti-American foreign entities. "Barack Obama has brought more destruction upon this country in four years than any other event in the history of our nation, but it is just the beginning of what he and his comrades are capable of."

"The Occupy Wall Street movement is just another step in their plan for the annihilation of America. "Socialism, in general, has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it."

Americans put their health-care costs in spotlight after flap over skier Sarah Burke’s hospital bill


The whopping medical bill faced by the family of Canadian freestyle skier Sarah Burke, who died from a head injury while practising at Park City, Utah, has triggered a spasm of embarrassment among Americans over their health-care system.
If she was in Canada's care, they probably would've deemed her injuries "unsurvivable" and therefore wouldn't even try to treat her. Like with that baby.
