So I had dinner with a group of people this evening and I brought up how spending $2 Billion for western after school programs for junior terrorists is part of the big O’s plan. I was the only one who thought it was stupid- they actually think it will work and cause world peace. And one of them calls himself a conservative. What is wrong with these people???? Am I trapped in some bad Star Trek episode where I am on the same planet but in some other dimension where nothing makes sense- right is wrong and stupid is smart??? If so, beam me up Scotty!

This is a lot of controlling change and this one bits big time. . . “Privacy and Civil Liberties Board needs to be substantially reformed and empowered”. This sounds like no more privacy and it looks like the empowering might have other effects no one likes to think about, depending on what the robust mandate turns out to be, who knows who might be in trouble.

Improve Intelligence Capacity and Protect Civil Liberties

… Give Real Authority to the Privacy and Civil Liberties Board:

Created by Congress and recommended by the 9/11 Commission, the Privacy and Civil Liberties Board needs to be substantially reformed and empowered to safeguard against an erosion in American civil liberties. As president, Barack Obama will support efforts to strengthen the Board with subpoena powers and reporting responsibilities, will give the Board a robust mandate designed to protect American civil liberties and will demand transparency from the Board to ensure accountability …

A subpoena (pronounced /səbˈpiːnə/ or pronounced /səˈpiːnə/) is commonly defined as a written command to a person to testify before a court or be punished.

More accurately, a subpoena is the conditional threat of punishment made by a governmental authority. It is attached to a command, so that if the recipient does not do as commanded then he may be punished. Subpoenas are associated with common law legal systems.

There are two common types of subpoenas:

A subpoena ad testificandum orders a person to testify before the ordering authority or face punishment.
A subpoena duces tecum orders a person to bring physical evidence before the ordering authority or face punishment.

That $2B will go a long way to producing more al Qaeda members with degrees in Nuclear Engineering.

Thanks, Obama!

Barack Obama will use tough diplomacy – backed by real incentives and real pressures

Translation, tough diplomacy = bribes (incentives)
The bribe will be taken and used to expedite the terrorists original plans.
Yup Obama, reaching across the isle.

2 Billion to people who just want to see us dead. No amount of money will change their minds. Wouldn’t that 2 Billion do better to help people here in America? Good old Obama, I can see an attach coming round the corner.
