Obama’s Weekly Address
Posted by Michelle Moquin on September 19th, 2010
Just in case you haven’t seen Obama’s weekly address, I am posting it today.
The President explains how the most dire warnings about the Citizens United case have been proven valid as Republicans in Congress have blocked legislation to fix it.
Readers: Anything you want to say….say it here. Blog this BABE.
Clarence: Thanks for your comment. I have to say that sometimes for me, being able to throw in some creativity and mix it up is here, fulfills my need to have a little fun. And whether readers think it is beautiful or not, is sometimes irrelevant to me. However, your feedback is noted and the next time I feel the need to be creative with this face of mine I will try and keep it in the field of “beautiful”. I aims to please…:)
Janice: Hey – You definitely have a point, and I agree with you. Perhaps my statement was not well thought out. But I also think that the news media sensationalizes many things…the shock and awe of the airwaves, likes to be expressed because our society eats it up, and begs for more. The media plays on the drama and our emotions. Fear is a good example of this. And yes, since Obama has been in office it has grown exponentially. No doubt…they want him out, and as you mentioned “at any cost to the nation”.
Sara: Let me explain. First, thanks for continuing to try – I don’t personally know the frustration my readers feel, but I am sure it is there, no doubt. Zen Lill has been a regular reader for quite some time. So has Doug, my hub, as well as a few other readers who no longer voice themselves here.
All I can say is that I am protective of my readers. I want my readers to be able to speak their minds, keep their anonymity, and remain safe. And if it weren’t for the TAO…well let’s just say because of those that would love to shut me down, precautions have been taken to protect the many readers/commentators that could face some pretty awful stuff should they be discovered. I can’t say exactly how everything works because I don’t know exactly. The control is not mine, and as much as I am of the mind, “If anyone’s going to have the control, let it be me – who else can I trust?”, this is one area that would make my life insane, and I am happy that I am relieved of the responsibility.
Holden: We are not one and the same and we are not in cahoots. When my blog didn’t have as many readers, I was pretty verbal when I didn’t agree with Zen Lill. Presently, there have been quite a few times where our views on matters differentiate, and I find myself not in total agreement with her, as well as times where I disagree pretty completely. But, now that I have more readers than I can imagine, I choose to take a back seat, and give the space to my readers to banter with her.
Izzat: Which is the reason why Madaline has focused on trying to help the women on their own. Madaline only agreed to help the men with the caveat that I mentioned.
LeeAnn: And you should. Why not? I certainly do and it is not because my sex life sucks or that I’m not getting it often enough. Don’t you just hate it when someone lays their morals on others, and makes a perfectly healthy self-satisfying sexual habit into a taboo? Some people just have a difficult time accepting the saying, “Live and let live”.
Doug: Awesome. Thanks for sharing. I am looking forward to seeing the others. Oh…and as far as you being ZL…crazy I know – I’ll let you handle this one.
Sophia: You nailed it. O’Donnell is Palin #2 or is Fiorina #2 – no matter, it’s all the same- When I saw O’Donnell on television the other day I thought it was Palin. They even look similar. And it goes without saying that they think similar, which is even scarier.
Peace out…
Lastly, greed over a great story is surfacing from my “loyal”(?) readers. With all this back and forth about who owns what, that appears on my blog, let me reiterate that all material posted on my blog becomes the sole property of my blog. If you want to reserve any proprietary rights don’t post it to my blog. I will prominently display this caveat on my blog from now on to remind those who may have forgotten this notice.
Gratefully your blog host,
michelle

I appreciate your thoughts towards me, and as per the comments yesterday pertaining to my existence, knowing where the bodies are buried, my sexiness, and me being the husband of your blog hostess bitch… I do exist, it takes work and continued research and understanding of the real truth, I am quite sexy, and I am the bitches husband.
I know Zen Lil, we have been friends for many years. I am not her, although she is nearly as tall as I.
As per conspiracy theories, let’s all stick to the ones that are real and affect our lives in more profound ways than these thoughts you all posit herein. However, if you choose to use them on this issue that is your loss of energy and I personally don’t give a damn, cause it means you’re thinking of me!! ;-)
I think therefore I am, and I suggest you do the same on the topics Michelle works so hard to expound upon. The rest will fall into place.

I still think that You and Zen Lill are one and the same. That is the reason Zen Lill doesn’t use a face. You are afraid that someone will recognize the face.
Nice try Main Dude.

That was a powerful statement made by a President trying to keep the country in the hands of the people.
The republican party with the help of the gang of five KARTS on the Supreme Court are determined to sell out to the special interests.
They have the power and money to keep their lies before the American people. They are counting on that canard that says “if you say something long enough and loud enough, people will eventually begin to believe it.”
It is blogs like yours, Michelle that may yet turn the tide in favor of the people. The American people may never know how much they owe to your sacrifice.

Subject: Cajun Ghost Story (true)
This happened about 6 months ago on Louisiana Hwy 57, just outside of Dulac, a little town in the bayou country of Louisiana , and while it sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it’s real.
An Ohio businessman, Saul Rubins, abandoned his disabled vehicle on the side of the road, and attempted to hitchhike. The night was pitch dark in the middle of a thunderstorm. Time passed slowly and no cars went by. It was raining so hard he could hardly see his hand in front of his face.
Suddenly, through the sheets of rain, he saw a car moving slowly,
approaching and appearing ghostlike in the rain. It slowly and silently crept toward him and stopped. Desperately needing a ride, Saul jumped in the car and closed the door.
Only then did he realize that there was no one behind the
wheel and no sound of an engine to be heard over the rain.
Again the car crept silently forward and Saul was terrified, too scared
to think of jumping out and running.. He saw that the car was approaching a sharp curve and, still too scared to jump out, he started
to pray and beg God for his life; he was sure the ghost car would go off the road and into the bayou and he would then drown!
But just before the curve, a shadowy hand appeared at the driver’s window, reached in and turned the steering wheel, guiding the car safely
around the bend. Then, just as silently, the hand disappeared through the window and Saul was alone again.
Paralyzed with fear, Saul watched the hand reappear every time they
reached a curve. Finally, scared nearly to death, Saul had all he could take, jumped out of the car, and ran to town.
Wet and in shock, he went into bar called Fishermen’s Point.
Voice quavering, he ordered two cups of coffee, black, and then told everybody about his supernatural experience.
The room became silent and everybody got goose bumps when they
realized Saul was telling the truth (and not just some drunk).
About 30 minutes later two Cajuns, dripping wet, walked into Fisherman’s Point and one says to the other,
“Look, Boudreaux, ders dat idiot what rode in our car when we wuz pushin’ it in the rain!!!”

So Who are we testing these weapons on?
+++++++++++++++++++
by Michele Catahay
Guam – An unarmed intercontinental ballistic missile blasted off on Friday in a weapons test by the U.S. Air Force. According to media reports, the Minuteman 3 missile launched from California’s Vandenberg Air Force Base and sent the test vehicle into suborbital space going across the Pacific Ocean.
The test vehicle reportedly hit a pre-determined target about 200 miles southwest of Guam. A team of analysts is studying the launch as part of an ongoing evaluation of the readiness of the U.S. military’s arsenal.
It includes experts from the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy.

The earthlings will answer the military with weather. They will show humans that it is useless to fire weapons at huge tropical storms.

‘Z’ is for pneumonia prevention
You know summer is just about over when you start hearing those flu shot commercials.
But there are safer, easier and more effective ways to lower your risk for pneumonia–and a new study shows how your own winter health plan should start with the last letter of the alphabet.
In this case, Z is for zinc–which has already helped millions of people beat everything from the flu to the common cold.
And now, researchers say seniors with low blood levels of this essential mineral have a higher risk of pneumonia.
Researchers tracked 600 elderly residents from 33 nursing homes in the Boston area, and found that those with normal zinc levels not only had a lower risk of coming down with the condition, but shorter durations when they did suffer from it.
These zinc-happy seniors also needed fewer antibiotic prescriptions and were able to use the med over a shorter period of time when they did need it.
Even more importantly, the study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition also found that those with lower zinc levels were more likely to die.
And while we’re examining letters of the alphabet here, you might also want to take a second look at E–
because the researchers say seniors who consumed just 200 IU of vitamin E a day were 20 percent less likely to suffer from upper respiratory infections such as colds than those who were given a placebo.
This is great news, because zinc and vitamin E are among the least expensive and most widely available supplements around.
And while you’re out shopping for immune-building nutrients, make sure you stock up on omega 3 fatty acids and vitamins C and D.
Remember, a strong immune system will top vaccinations every time.
One recent review of the research found that the pneumonia vaccine is practically useless among seniors, who also happen to be the patients most likely to get that shot.
In fact, once they narrowed their review down to only high- quality studies, researchers say they found “no significant benefit” for the vaccine, according to the study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
Next time your doctor asks you about a pneumonia vaccine, ask him to explain that instead.

This article in Psychology Today describes my suffering so accurately that it is scary.
Article:
Lost Love: Guess Who’s Back?
Old flames still smolder, especially when they’re early love affairs, which
leave a particularly vivid mark in our minds. Reawakening such a romance can
be an incendiary experience—intensely passionate and dangerous to trifle
with.

So, Main Dude, you have a web site. So do I in an assumed name in three different countries.
How does that prove that you and Zen Lill are not the same person?

Your readers should be made aware that the scam artists are faking letters from people in the camps in Africa and trying to scam unsuspecting marks.
Here’s one that I received.
=====================
Dearest beloved,
Good day to you and how are you getting over there?. I wish to meet your in your country.
I do hope that you are catching up with the goodies of the day in full. Mine here is very hot and like you know we are living in the refugee camp here in .
In this camp we are only allowed to go out only on Mondays and Fridays of the weeks. It’s just like one staying in the prison and i hope by Gods grace I will come out here soon.
We don’t have any relatives now whom we can go to all our relatives ran away in the middle of the war the only person we have now is Rev Stephen Sarr who is the pastor of the (Lamb Of God Church) here in the camp he has been very nice to me since I came here but I am not living with him rather I am leaving in the women hostel because the camp has two hostels one for men the other for women.
In the camp we are fed once a day and we are 160 living in one room and all of us sleeps on the floor. There are cases of refugee inmates that die every week because of bad water and lack of food.
====================
Notice the name of the camp is left out and the name of the contact (pimp) is casually mentioned. There is no shame in pursuit of a dollar in this world.

Please listen to this, I have my late father’s statement of account and death certificate here with me which I will send to you latter, because when he was alive he deposited some amount of money in a leading bank which he used my name as the next of kin, the amount he deposited is $4.750 M (Four Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars). So I will like you to help me transfer this money to your account and from it you can send some money for me to get my traveling documents and air ticket to come over to meet with you. I kept this secret to people in the camp here .So in the light of above I will like you to keep it to yourself and don’t tell it to anyone for I am afraid of loosing my life and the money if people get to know about it.
Remember I am giving you all this information due to the trust I deposed on you. I like honest and understanding people, truthful and a woman of vision, truth and hard-working. I will send the bank’s contact information for you as soon as I receive a positive response from you. Please promise me that you will keep this transaction secret and confidential because of my life security, because I do not want anything to happen to my life, and also my heritage in the bank. That money is all I hope for, and I promise to bring happiness and joy to your home. I will like to continue my education in your country.
Waiting to hear from you soonest.
yours
Linda
