inevitable

i like to be informed and am thus subscribed to receive breaking news texts from cnn.sometimes they’re really dumb, like tiger woods is returning to golf (i don’t care) and sometimes they’re ruhl important like the one i got one last night about the health care debate (which was just the headline on cnn i’d already read). a minute ago i got one saying that google is staying in china, but will no longer censor chinese searches, redirecting users to its hong kong servers. i read an old article about this over the weekend for gov homework, then read an article about this two days ago (also on cnn. i also read bbc, cbc, and occasionally the new york times). google decided that they will not censor information in totalitarian governments, but will comply to censorship demands of democratic nations (eg france). to conclude, the chinese government is scary and i don’t really want to go there ever (although they would appreciate my porcelain skin. thanks jersey shore). and i hope ryan doesn’t censure future blogs (oh wait, he already censuredmelissa lulz) and i hope youtube doesn’t remove this video for copyright infringement because it is the best song eva. freedom of speech is awesome (ryan), hopefully this healthcare thing will be awesome, too!

i went to washington and all i got was this lousy picture with barack and michelle(’s wax dolls)!

Sports is an escape - vs - Obama's ego

Right now the world is pretty tough.  Wars. High unemployment.  Bad economy.  Major government and political decisions (like health care reform) being made behind closed doors which is creating a feeling of helplessness in the US.  Promises being broken to the citizens of the US (such as transparency).

How do we escape this madness for a few minutes?

Some of us watch sports. Turn on ESPN. Watch a game.

The problem now is Obama is now invading that arena also.   I agree with him on some topics. I disagree with him on other topics.  I resent when he has to stick his nose into sports. He has done it many times. He inserted himself into a broadcast of a Jets game in September.  He fills out an NCAA Hoops bracket. Millions of people do it. Who cares?

Please cut it out.  Please work on the country’s problems.  But please give us somewhere to have a little peace and not think about politics and the economy.

Psalm 2010

A fellow patriot posted this on one of the Facebook pages we administer and we received permission to pass it along. Enjoy!

Psalm 2010

PSALM 2010

Obama is the shepherd I did not want.
He leadeth me beside the still factories.
He restoreth my faith in the Republican party.
He guideth me in the path of unemployment for his party’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the bread line,
I shall fear no hunger, for his bailouts are with me.
He has anointed my income with taxes,
My expenses runneth over.

Surely, poverty and hard living will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will live in a mortgaged home forever.

I am glad I am American,
I am glad that I am free.
But I wish I was a dog …..
And Obama was a tree.

Siapa yang bakal kira dan sangka sosok foto anak kecil yang sedang bermain main di Menteng (seperti foto diatas) bakal menjadi pemimpin salah satu pemimpin dunia?
Beberapa hari sebelum kedatangan “Barry Soetoro” panggilan akrab Obama semasa di Menteng Jakarta 40 tahun silam seorang sahabat lama Presiden Amerika Serikat tersebut yaitu Hadi Surya Dharma yang masih menyimpan foto kenangan masa lalu Obama di Indonesia memberikan foto Obama Kecil kepada media masa asing yaitu AP (Associated Press) dalam gambar hitam putih.

Seperti kita ketahui Obama lahir dari ayah Kenya dan Ibu Amerika pindah ke Indonesia saat usianya 7 tahun dan tinggal dikawasan Menteng Jakarta tepatnya di Menteng Dalam. Saat itu Obama yang lebih dikenal dengan nama Barry termasuk anak yang cerdas dan cepat menyesuaikan dengan lingkungan termasuk belajar bahasa Indonesia dengan cepat. Bahkan Barry cilik sempat mengajar bahasa Inggris bagi teman dan tetangga, ujar Coenraad Koesoemah yang membiarkan ruang depan rumahnya untuk digunakan Barry mengajar bahasa Inggris.

Seperti halnya anak -anak pelajar Sekolah Dasar lainnya Barry-pun sering bermain dengan rekan rekan sekolah maupun anak menteng lainnya seperti main layang-layang dan lainnya. Seperti dikutip ruanghari.com dari harian Telegraph yang memuat foto Obama kecil ini, sosoknya yang gampang bergaul menjadikan Barry menjadi salah satu murid favorit di SD Besuki, Menteng Jakarta dimana patung kecil Obama saat ini berada setelah dipindahkan dari Taman Menteng.
Welcome Back In Menteng Barry Soetoro !!

Anak yang pernah mengenyam pendidikan di Indonesia pun bisa menjadi salah satu pemimpin negara adidaya dunia, bagaimanakah anak-anak Indonesia lainnya , akankah kita bisa menjadikan Indonesia sebagai salah satu negara adidaya di dunia?

Dirumah inilah Barry Kecil pernah tinggal

Inilah kamar tidur Berry panggilan akrab Obama saat tinggal di Jakarta selama 4 tahun 40 tahun silam

Di Sekolah Dasar (SD ) Besuki ini Barry (Obama) selama 4 tahun menuntut ilmu sebelum akhirnya kembali ke Hawaii bersama kakek dan neneknya
