The Truth On How Drugs Became Illegal

This was on the History Channel the other day. The name of the program is "Illegal Drugs And How They Got That Way". It was a very interesting program, I have seen this already but I wanted to watch again to see if they had changed anything. They didn't so this is the short of it, around 80 years ago it was common for people to use cocaine regurlarly, and legally. Slave masters would give cocaine to slaves and workers so that they wouldn't get tired as easy. Word started to spread to the north that "Drug crazed negroes" were attacking their white masters, and the drug (and all intoxicants) were declared illegal for all minorities. Watch it and tell me what you think.

Is President Barack Obama really 'The Most Expensive President Since 1945??

Let me say this first, I'm down for President Obama 110%, that being said in his first 100 days there are problems with how he is handling things. We have to be truthful to ourselves and look at whats on his plate. At any rate he has a tough job ahead of him and he needs our support. But as I look around not everybody is in favor of President Obama and this fact is crystal-clear from an opinion post on Spiegel. Award-winning journalist, Gabor Steingart, has more than one reason to state that current US President Barack Obama is ‘The Most Expensive President Since 1945’. He isn’t shy from proclaiming that Obama’s first 100 days in office were expensive, glamorous and often contradictory. Evaluating Obama’s performance on why the 44th President got himself tagged as the most expensive President since the year of 1945. The prime reason for Obama's first 100 days touted as the most costly in American postwar history- Obama has ignited a dangerous time bomb in the US government's budget. The economic stimulus program and the billions in bailout funds for Wall Street banks are being paid for primarily with borrowed funds.

Also from a financial standpoint, the United States cannot afford many of these bailout programs as they are not being paid for with taxpayer money. However Obama claims so. Instead, the money is coming from the savings of the Japanese, Chinese and Europeans. The United States now needs $1 billion (€760 million) in foreign funds every working day just to maintain its standard of living. It is also reported that the country consumes more than half of all worldwide savings. Not only is this is costly, but it is also extremely risky. More important, it is not sustainable. By taking this approach, Obama is only leading his country more deeply into dependence on creditors from around the world.

Moreover bank bonuses are likely to be twice as high as they were before the crisis this year. Also the first African-American President’s family’s lifestyle isn’t short of glitz and glamour. It is very obvious that Michelle Obama’s wardrobe is full of designer outfits that make a statement without fail.

Gabor summed it very well - So far, the Obama presidency is as contradictory as reality. No one today can say whether he will end up being the president he wants to be. Presidents develop in office.

To tell you all the truth Gabor makes some very good points when you go back and do your own research. Also 74% of americans are having trouble with their finances and most of these people have manageable debt. So imagine what our President and his team are going to go threw getting this country's debt back in order after we spend our way out of a recession/depression! Its just a thought, keep your third eye open!!!

A Moment of Clarity !!!

OK people lets get right into it, I'm sure by now everyone knows about the Air Force flying one of the planes "Classified" as Air Force One when the President is on it over New York City and Jersey yesterday. The plane was escorted by "Two" F16 fighter jets and it was a photo opp being done for the government. This being New York City and with people still reeling from the attacks of almost eight years ago, residents and workers in the area evacuated many buildings. This photo opp was done in very poor taste if I say so myself. But lets keep it 100 and stop all the bitchassness now coming out of this story. There are reporters trying to get comments from the 911 families?! WTF!! They don't have a damn thing to do with this, and why would it be important to talk to the families of the people who died that day then these people weren't even there. The people who died on 911 are important not their punk ass families who keep trying to add their tidbits on shit. Also its 2009 and we have way more problems going on than to worry about AIR FORCE ONE FLYING OVER THE FUCKING CITY!! So what if it was flying some what low, it had jets escorting it and it's the Presidents Plane! Come the fuck on with the bullshit, stop being scary ass Americans for 5 minutes and look at the damn facts. Then there's people out there that wanted a warning about this stunt, first off simple people, the Air Force never tells anyone when and where AIR FORCE ONE is because of security concerns. Second what makes everyone think that they are that important in the grand scheme of things! The reason why they didn't say anything is because the Presidents life is more important than hundreds of thousands of us. It sucks but it's the truth, and everyone needs to understand this. Look I'm not in New York this month but I will be back next, so I feel for all of you who are THERE, and realize this was scary, however, think for a moment and realize the security threat that could have occurred if a “notice” went out advising of a “fly-over”!!!! I love all of New York (I'm from Harlem) and understand….your concerns..I’m just asking you to think about it.
