Ali Ata, pal of Rezco, Blago, and Champ gets stiff, 4 years' probation
Posted by: Besoeker || 07/19/2012 00:00 || Comments || Link || [5 views] Top|| File under:

#1  Blagojevich was present in a meeting at Antoin Rezko's Chicago office, where Ata brought a $25,000 campaign check

Champ has been friends with Rezko for nearly 20 years and bought his house in a sweetheart deal from him. Hmmmnnnn, at some point the Teflon is going to peel away and then we will get transparency.

US/Mexico Partner to Expand Food Stamp Roll
The Mexican government has been working with the United States Department of Agriculture to increase participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or food stamps.
Tar. Feathers.
USDA has an agreement with Mexico to promote American food assistance programs, including food stamps, among Mexican Americans, Mexican nationals and migrant communities in America.

"USDA and the government of Mexico have entered into a partnership to help educate eligible Mexican nationals living in the United States about available nutrition assistance," the USDA explains in a brief paragraph on their "Reaching Low-Income Hispanics With Nutrition Assistance" web page. "Mexico will help disseminate this information through its embassy and network of approximately 50 consular offices."
When Obama said Texas, a solidly Conservative state, will become a battle ground state soon, that means you ain't seen nothin yet when it comes to canceling out US votes with the votes of Mexican Nationals here illegally.

#1  I have an idea! Send the Food Stamps to Mexico! That way Mexicans don't even have to come here. Oh wait. They can't vote for Bummer if they stay in Mexico. Or, can they?

#2  I'm a bit confused. Is there ANY Mexican in the U.S. who doesn't know about food stamps yet?

#3  Did Obama think of this on the golf course?

#1  ION TOPIX > [Juan Cole] IS MICHELLE BACHMANN AN AGENT OF THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD?

HHHMMMM, HHHMMMM, this infers that there was more to the Membership of "Michelle's/Milwaukee Brigade" than was known or acknowledged at the time???

Were the Army Boots walking down Wisconsin Avenue actually Turbans/Burquas in disguise???

#4  Somebody doesn't like that website: it was flagged by the corporate filters as malicious.

This doubtless refers to Obama's recent speech asserting that all private success derives from public expenditures. My take is that "Success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan." Obama demands more FEDERAL taxes because of that "brilliant" teacher who taught you who was PAID by LOCAL property taxes, and for the roads you used that were PAID by STATE and GASOLINE taxes. Will the government take credit for the use of the roads over which criminals do their getaways? What about the clueless idiot teachers who FAILED to brilliantly teach kids who are NOW on welfare? What about all the FAILED Solyndras into which the Government flung money that is now GONE? Will Government take credit for the people who now take food stamps and welfare?

By the way, if government infrastructure and public officials, are the TRUE KEY to Sam Walton's success, and not Sam Walton's choices and hard work, then WHY DIDN'T THE SAME MAGIC WORK FOR TRAYVON MARTIN?

#5  I guess we know why Romney wasn't attacking. He was waiting for Obama to make the mistake that Kerry did in "voted for it, before I voted against it".

#6  Barack Obama didn't write Dreams of My Father? Gasp! And Barack Obama is not who he says he is? Gasp! Romney should promise to provide his 2011 tax records just as soon as Obama reveals where the stimulus funds went, the facts behind the Fast and Furious debacle, his college records, where he got his social security card, etc. and who the hell he is.

#7  A massive Stim, three quantitative easings, all the government make work, and the economy is flat or declining, yet these elite educated yahoos can't grasp why it hasn't taken off with all the intervention by their all powerful institution. They are not the engine, but can't figure it out. Like the Dalai lama said - you can't reason with terrorists because their minds are closed. Same closed minds running this place [into the ground] now.
