Stock market to go much lower. Which President do you want answering this crisis call?

Yes, we are headed into a recession if we aren't already there. Why should you be worried? Because who is in charge of fixing this is the Bush Adminstration who still haven't responded to the Katrina disaster. Woe is us indeed. This is the time to ask yourself the big question. It's 6:30am in the White House. Who do you want to answer this call? It isn't President Bush, it isn't John McCain, it isn't panicky Hillary Clinton. It's soft spoken, reassuring and hopeful Barack Obama who can bring both Democrats and Republicans together to address this in a manner of confidence and good judgment. Don't you now wished you had voted for Barack Obama in your State's primary. If you haven't voted in one yet, then you can soon. Make the right choice when you do vote!

Condi Rice laughs at Administration's mistakes with Katrina- Get serious for a change!

Condi Rice laughed while delivering her response to questions on ABC's This Week with respect to discoveries that aid from other countries for Hurricane Katrina never made it to help the victims, was lost, spoiled over time because they were perishables or because our government refused the aid. She responded to questions with "certainly mistakes were made", but did so, not with some regret, but with a wide smile. What's so humorous Dr. Rice? Maybe if it was your family down there in New Orleans still trying to make it you wouldn't be so glib. Get serious, you are all incompetent even when you jest, and that's not anything worthy of a laugh!

I'm sick of the lack of sincerity by Condi Rice, Dick Cheney and President Bush. Everything has political spin, even grief. Hide you heads in shame.

So much for the "surge"!

Huge attacks in Iraq were in mass today in Baghdad where at least 127 were killed with more than 138 injured. It is a direct attack against the security plan of the U.S. to bring Baghdad under control. It seems the insurgents can change tactics confounding our forces and Iraqi government forces on a regular basis. There were 6 car bombs today.

In addition the U.S. fatalities continue to climb to the highest levels of the war. This month there has been 64 so far. And we are on our way to this month concluding 6 months of the highest death rate since the war began 5 years ago.

With the death of 33 at Virginia Tech and all the attention from the media that is being showered on this tragedy, as it should be, it brings to mind why aren't we morning the U.S. soldiers every week in the same manner. One reason for this is that coverage of the caskets coming home from Iraq has changed in this war than that of the Vietnam war, where we saw many ceremonies of returning caskets and funerals. This Administration has worked hard at keeping us sanitized from the pain and suffering facing the Nation from the loss of these brave men and women who serve their country without questioning authority and following orders. It is up to us, as civilians, to stand up for them and use the freedoms they defend for us, to express outrage over this war of choice by Bush and Cheney.

In his new book, George Tenet, former head of the CIA under this President, has documented and made the case that this President and especially this Vice President would not listen to any intelligence that did not support their desire to go to war. Not only did they cherry pick what facts they wanted to highlight from the intelligence, they added more color to the intelligence reports and promoted fear to the intelligence community to flush out even more bias to support going to war. The Administration was obsessed with going to war coming into office.

We must be willing to face the reality of this war. The facts are that the war is lost! The Democrats didn't lose this war, the Republicans didn't lose this war, the President, VP and this Administration flush with incompetence lost this war and don't let any Karl Rove's manipulation of language and propaganda make you believe differently. The President would love to pass this war on to Democrats so he can blame them for losing the war, but history and his legacy, will show differently. Much data on this incompetent Administration exists for historians to review, starting with the case for WMD and the lies that were told about yellow cake uranium being purchased in Niger in the President's State of the Nation speech, to the total incompetence in responding to Hurricane Katrina and handling the rebuilding of New Orleans. We will never forget, nor forgive such incompetence, trickery and lies not to mention the suspension of the Constitution as the foundation of all law in this country. This will be seen as Americas's darkest period.

UPDATE: It turned out that I was premature in identifying 127 deaths yesterday, as it turned out to be close to 200 at the end of the day in Iraq.
