WSJ: Obama Breaks Pledge on Inauguration Donations

A full 90 percent of donations to fund Barack Obama’s Jan. 20 inauguration have come from well-heeled fundraisers — including Wall Street executives whose companies have received federal bailout money.
A total of 207 fundraisers have collected $24.8 million of the $27.3 million in donations disclosed by Obama through Thursday, according to an analysis by Public Citizen commissioned by The Wall Street Journal.
Slightly more than 2,000 donors accounted for the $27.3 million raised, but 378 of those people each contributed the maximum $50,000 allowed by Obama, raising almost 70 percent of the total, or $18.9 million, the analysis found.
Wall Street employees have been the largest single source of private donations, and many of the contributions have been channeled through financial-services executives who have put together bundles of donations worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
“The preponderance of large donors and the fact that so many come from an industry receiving government handouts comes as the president-elect has sought to keep his inauguration free of special interests,” The Journal observed.
Bundlers from the financial sector include executives from Citigroup Inc. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc., two firms that have accepted billions of dollars each in bailout money from the federal government.
Obama’s presidential campaign smashed all previous fundraising records, raking in more than an astounding $650 million from some 3 million donors.

Here is response to an Uppity Woman's post that I just had to share.
Author: Grail GuardianComment:
One in the same, Uppity. Really instills confidence, doesn't it? This guy doesn't know where his illegal alien aunt got off to (while he was a sitting US Senator sworn to uphold the Constitution), didn't know his preacher of 20 years was spewing anti-American bile, didn't know Bill Ayers was a domestic terrorist, didn't know Blagojevich was tainted, didn't know his Palestinian buddies were sending him illegal campaign contributions, didn't know his Chief of Staff appointee was negotiating the sale of his former Senate seat, didn't know Tony Rezko was a crook - for crying out loud! When was the last time someone that knows so little and has so little control of his surroundings was elected President of the United States?

Pot Harms The Pothead.....Dude!

Don't let the ganja crew fool you, pot is a gateway drug and pot should not be legalized. Now, I would be open to maybe locking up the dealers and allowing a person to be a user. In other words, grow your own and don't commit any crimes while under the influence and everything will be fine!

Because of the drug's effects on perceptions and reaction time, users could be involved in auto crashes. Drug users also may become involved in risky sexual behavior. There is a strong link between drug use and unsafe sex and the spread of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
Under the influence of marijuana, students may find it hard to study and learn. Young athletes could find their performance is off; timing, movements, and coordination are all affected by THC.

5 Of These Guy Belong Together, One Of These Guys Stands Alone!

To look at this picture is to see that America's best and brightest don't usually win the oval office. Not since Ronald Reagan have we had a real man who put America's best interest first. He did not care about his poll numbers. He never soiled an interns dress. He never supported Hugo Chavez. He never broke a promise of no new taxes. He never pandered to the House of Saud.

And he never hung around socialist, terrorist, and anti Semites. And he could produce a birth certificate and he never said his mom was a typical "white" woman
He was not always perfect, but he was consistent and honest and a great Christian man.

Turn Me Loose And Set Me Free

Yes, that is part of a Merle Haggard song..."Somewhere in the middle of Montana." Well, for me, anywhere that is not cold, has a place to park a trailer for me and my dogs, a small church, and a friendly burger and suds joint, and I am there! I am tired of the daily grind of my full time job, though the part time one is great. I am really insanely tired of bills and debt. If anyone knows of a ranch or farm that needs a hard working college grad, who can work as hard with the muscle as well as the brain; give me a shout. Oh, I forgot; a golf course is a must......

And I must include one response from a typical hatefilled responder

What sense does that make?

So Long Christmas Vacation

And hello to work again! Vacation goes by faster now that I work at a school than it did when I attended it. I had plans to get a lot of chores done around the ol' abode but, as usual, I lagged. So I now have another 80 plus work days to go before summer vacation. And, as usual, I will make a lot of plans and probably not get much done other than a tan and a few bbq's in the backyard.

Diversity Immigrant Visa Program: Invitation To Terrorist?

You bet it is and what a joke of a program. Why is this even needed? And of course, our enemies would never use a program like this to their advantage. In a time of war, this program should not be allowed. If this was 1943, I guess this program would allow Japanese and German in because they were under represented.

In 2007, the Government Accountability Office issued a report indicating that nearly 9,800 aliens from state sponsors of terrorism have received diversity visas since 2000.

The report, however, indicated that the diversity visa lottery program was "susceptible to fraud" and was a way for terrorists to enter the country – though no incidences have yet been reported.

Founding Catholic Fathers

Thanks to LSK from her blog. This is a wonderful article!

http://quietconsecration.blogspot.com/

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, Patrick Henry, Benjamin Franklin. Nearly every schoolchild recognizes them as the Founding Fathers — signers of the Declaration of Independence, framers of the Constitution, heroes of the Revolutionary War.
There were a great many more Founding Fathers, however, even if their names are not so familiar as the above. Several of those lesser-known men who played key roles in the creation of the United States of America were Catholics. Chief among them were three members of the Carroll family of Maryland: Charles Carroll, the only Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence; his cousin Daniel Carroll; and Daniel Carroll's brother John Carroll, who became America's first Catholic bishop.
Charles Carroll of Carrollton (1737-1832) was the most illustrious and best-known of the Carrolls.
