The Way It Iz: This day October 20, 2009

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you are enjoying my blogs. You can always comment on my FB page.

Remember the video that I gave you a link to with the kids dressed in military fatigues chanting Barack Obama's Health Care Policy? I am a little behind on this information but the teacher that taught these kids to do this exercise has been suspended. As she should. You can't express your political views to your students. Freedom of speech is not a factor in this situation; as it is the same for a preacher in front of his congregation. So rightfully so, this teacher should be suspended. These kids weren't learning history since they were chanting about a health care plan that doesn't even exist much less has even been passed.

-------------

I did see one video today of Obama that I actually enjoyed. Check it out. A girl gets a excuse slip from Obama. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY9793NCGxI

------------

Another. This is old news but I never saw video footage of it. Obama calling Kanye West "a jackass"; then remembering that he's the President and asking to "cut the President some slack". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IO_QIMNRreg#

-----------

Did you know that Obama has appeared on the cover of TIME eight times in less than a year? Also Michelle Obama has appeared on TIME three times in less than a year? Why is he always got to be in the public eye on such shows as Ellen, David Letterman, The Tonight Show, etc. Why hasn't he started appearing in our commercials for dog food? I wouldn't be shocked. Everywhere you turn; there's damn Obama. The media wants you to love this man, when 40% strongly disagree with that Obama is preforming his role as President, according to the Rasmussen Reports.

-----------

Please take a minute and read what Obama's church that he attended for over 20+ years believes in and teaches:

Black liberation theology" scholars such as James Cone, who regard Jesus Christ as a "black messiah" and blacks as "the chosen people" will only accept a god who assists their aim of destroying the "white enemy."

"If God is not for us and against white people," writes Cone, "then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill gods who do not belong to the black community."

Barack Obama's Churches Published Stand

1. Commitment to God

2. Commitment to the Black Community

3. Commitment to the Black Family

4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education

5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence

6. Adherence to the Black Work Ethic

7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect

8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of "Middleclassness"

9. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black Community

10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions

11. Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System

12. Personal commitment to embracement of the Black Value System.

The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision:

1. A congregation committed to ADORATION.

2. A congregation preaching SALVATION.

3. A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.

4. A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.

5. A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.

6. A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.

7. A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.

8. A congregation committed to LIBERATION.

9. A congregation committed to RESTORATION.

10. A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.

Wow! If you want to see some of Obama's racist comments, please check out my FB page and look at the recent videos that I posted of Obama.

The Way It Iz: This day October 19, 2009

Well, I'm not really sure what to say. I was on vacation, but when I decided to come back and start posting, my FB account got hacked. Personally think it was just some kind of fluke or just some idiot out there (probably a Democrat), but my wife seems to think that it was the government trying to look into what I am saying and keep am eye on me LMAO! Could beeeeeeeeeeee?

Anyway, if it was the government, they need to piss off and keep reading because there is more you need to hear about Obama.

I can believe that Obama was awarded two Nobel Peace Prizes in the two weeks that I didn't blog.

This is insane, folks. The announcement from the Nobel Peace Prize Committee says as much about the Norwegian voters and their parliament as it does President Obama. All involved should be embarrassed and ashamed for using this Prize to advance a radical, leftist agenda.

It's clear that the Marxist leaders in Europe know what most Americans don't know--that the American president is a kindred spirit who they recognize as one of their own.

Freedom-loving people should no longer respect or take seriously the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, as they have become an arm of the worldwide Marxist cause, evidenced by their previous selections of Yassar Arafat and Le Duc Tho and now Barack Obama.

The award has been cheapened beyond repair and the Nobel Committee has insulted all who labor and sacrifice for true peace and freedom under God's laws.

These are the same people that gave Arafat one and Al Gore one for making peace with Mother Earth. Come on. This means nothing. Obama basically got it for doing nothing. BTW did you know that he was nominated 12 days after being President???? What did he do in this short time to deserve it? Maybe for trashing America and nothing more......

For peace? He has brought so much peace to the world. Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea......hell, I don't know where I want to vacation first. And don't forget about here at home, I've never seen the country so united. Pfft! This is a mockery to the Noble Peace Prize, and if I was Peace, I would kick someone's ass!

H1N1 news- In the State of Mass. (too lazy to look up spelling), it is law now that the government has the right to search your home without cause and can quarantine you until you accept the vaccination. This is something that is going to be infected into your own body. Janice Dublar, employment attorney, says "you have a choice, whether it be take the vaccine or be quarintined at a certain local by the state or if you are an at-will employee you have the right to be terminated." Nice to know you have the "right to be terminated". At least we haven't lost all of our rights.

Listen, government! You will not injected nothing in this body! My wife hates that I am rebellious to this whole government and their way of thinking. Has she been brain-washed by the media also???? I will be a rebellious factor if the world gets to a point where the government is telling me my next move and what to do with my body or family. You are damn right! I would hope that each and every one of you out there will stand up for yourself when that time comes. Don't become sheepeople, people!

----------------------

Please do not go to Cars.gov. This is the site used for cash for clunkers. Most times when we see the little box that says do you agree or disagree with the privacy act for a website, we all instantly click the "agree" box. Maybe we should all start reading these statements. Here's what the cars.gov privacy act statement says: "This application provides access to the DoT Cars system. When logged on to the CARS system, your computer is considered a Federal computer system and is property of the U.S. Government. Any or all uses of this system and all files on this system may be intercepted, monitored, recorded, copied, audited, inspected and disclosed...to authorize CARS, DoT and law enforcement personnel, as well as authorized officials of other agencies, both foreign and domestic."

Good Lord! Nothing you can do when you click that. They can continue to track you forever. What the hell is going on, folks! This is suppose to be a charitable act turned evil. WTF! Think about it....this program died shortly after it existed. There is a hidden agenda here. This program was used for nothing else. Thanks again, Obama. I see you're bringing more "peace" to our world by trying to control our lives.

---------------

One of the biggest issues I argue with a loved one about is "Global Warming" other than religion, I could argue about this all day.

Global warming is a hoax. This is a manufactured crisis. This comes out of the mouth of the John Coleman, founder of The Weather Channel. He said, "It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global warming; it is a scam."Death from extreme weather are down 95% since the 1920s. I believed this same thing before I heard his opinion. This is a created hoax in order to gain grants and awards and the environmental extremists had massaged the numbers in order to gain fame.

Form your own opinion; mine is not a popular belief but in twenty years, I will be laughing except at the loss of billions of dollars wasted on this crap.

---------------

I'm going to be short on this subject. The Balloon Boy. I honestly believe that this was not a hoax. I believe the kid released the balloon and went and hid when he realized what he had done. I believe the parents thought that he may be in the balloon when they could not find him. I believe that when the boy made reference that it was "for the show" that he is simply a six year old just randomly talking. These people were in the middle of making a reality show by the way. You won't hear much talk about that will you. The media wants to publicly trash these people and the courts wants to make an example while our government is out there supplying enough stories that they could easily leave this family alone and let them get on with their lives.

That's all I have this day October 19, 2009

The Way It Iz: This day October 2, 2009

Hey, everyone! Thanks for checking in with me today. Not much today, but something major to me a little later in the blog. Let's get to it:

Vaccine for the H1N1 flu will begin arriving in the nation's hospitals, clinics and schools as early as Tuesday, the start of an effort to protect Americans against a swine flu virus that emerged this past spring and quickly circled the globe.

Get ready! Here it is. I don't wish anything on anyone, but this vaccine is just whipped up and ready to serve 250 million doses by the end of the year. Come on! Just last month, you guys didn't know how many shots a person needed or whether you wanted to put this in a nasal spray container. I'm not getting the shot. I call bs!

Update:

The Facebook posting that posed a quiz to readers, "Should Obama be killed?" The options were no, maybe, yes, and "yes, if he cuts my health care."

Secret Service agents -- who investigate all potential threats against presidents -- spoke a the child and the parents, and determined that there was no intent to harm Obama, agency spokesman Ed Donovan said.

"This is something we classified as a mistake on the juvenile's part," Donovan said.

Just a kid. A mere juvenile. Juvenile's are harmless. I bet the Secret Service are still watching this kid like a hawk.

Another Update:

Nike is not signing a new endorsement deal with former spokesman Michael Vick of the Philadelphia Eagles, spokesman KeJuan Wilkins said on Thursday.

Vick and his crew were just lying again. No big deal. They were never going to find out, Mike. This man will do anything to keep his name in the media. Hey, Mike, let me get $100 on that red-nose pit!

------------------

The PSP GO is out now. It features a fully new cabinet with slick slide-out screen, the ability to purchase full games from the PlayStation Network and a much bigger storage capacity than previous iterations of the device. They did get rid of the UMD port. WHY!?!?!?! Now you can't play movies on the PSP. I don't know. Looks like a bad move on Playstation's part.

-----------------

What I originally posted was f'n awesome, but I need to save it for another day.

My friend was perfectly fine with it, but needs me to wait until some matters take place. :) I respect that. Boring blog today, folks. Sorry.

Today's blog was represented by the letter X and the number 7.

That's the way it iz. This day, October 2, 2009

The Way It Iz: This day October 1, 2009

Once-disgraced quarterback Michael Vick has reached an endorsement deal with Nike, two years after sponsors abandoned him following his conviction in a federal dogfighting ring.

Hmmm.... As a Philadelphia Eagle fan, I wasn't totally disappointed with the signing of Michael Vick; after all, I'm not a big Donovan McNabb fan either. I just think it's a damn shame that he didn't get signed by the Cleveland Browns since their mascot is a dog. That would have been funny as hell.

Outside 15 schools in eight states, government regulators have found elevated levels of a substance that — in a more potent form — was also used as a chemical weapon during World War I.

The chemical that once was weaponized, acrolein, can exacerbate asthma and irritate the eyes and throat. It is a byproduct of burning gasoline, wood and cigarettes, and its presence at so many sites was not explained. EPA At the 15 schools — in Alabama, California, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, New York, Ohio and South Carolina — regulators found average acrolein levels at least 100 times higher than what the government considers safe for long-term exposure.

Isn't this a hell of a note?!?! I'm can't scream loud enough to you people out there who trust the government with your life. You want their health care so bad. Did you read????? Since World War I, people! OMG! I smell a cover-up. They couldn't have just now found this information all these years. There were 63 schools nationwide; this was just the school with at least 100 times higher amount. I would like to see the entire list, because if Alabama, S.C. and Mississippi were mentioned then I bet Georgia school are on that list.

Freshman U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson refused to back down Wednesday from remarks made on the House floor the night before, in which he said the Republican health care plan calls for sick people to "die quickly."

In fact, Grayson, a Democrat who represents a central Florida swing district that includes Orlando, made another floor speech in which he apologized to the dead and their families for not acting sooner on health care reform. He then defended both speeches on CNN's "The Situation Room."

Wow! I can't believe U.S. Rep. Grayson did this in front of everyone. What balls! Not really....just another idiot Democrat who is clinching onto this government health care plan. The Dems want you to believe that you are going to get the best health care through the government, but I don't have to tell you that you will see long waits on medication, long waits on doctor's appointments (like days to get one).........This plan will be forced! Mark my words. This is no regular President here, folks. This is going to get ugly. This man, Obama, is trying to be a dictator. As far as Grayson, he simply just slandered the entire Republican party.

Look what I just found....

President Barack Obama today pledged that he will succeed in getting healthcare reform this year in spite of a sharp drop in public support for his plan and an aggressive Republican campaign against him.

He "pledged" that he "will succeed". Wake up, guys! We can sit here and debate about this subject till we are blue in the face. The sad thing is that it is a pointless battle. I like to think that I speak my mind. I love to be heard. I want people to know where I stand. Sadly, Obama will get "his" plan because no one will stand in his way. Where's your balls, Republicans and independents? What's next?!?! He moves his fun-loving Iranian buddies over here.....opps, they're here! Did you know that he's trying to pass a bill to make all illegal immigrants in the United States, legal? Did you know that he is the AntiChrist? Okay, maybe that's a little out there......is it?

According to the Book of Revalations, the anti-christ will be a man, in his 40s, of Muslim decent, who will deceive the nations with persuassive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal.....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and waorld peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything. Is this Obama?

I am not a bible thumper, but get a load of this.

In the Strong's Hebrew dictionary, the word #1299 for the defining of "heights" or "Heavens", the translation is "Baraq". Also in another translation in Strong's Hebrew Word it is "Bamah" meaning "lightening from heaven. Now let's look at a verse:

Luke 10:18 "And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning falling from the heavens."

If spoken by a Jewish Rabbi today, Jesus would have said, "I saw Satan as baraq bamah."

Just saying......I'm not a bible thumper, remember.

That's the way it iz. This day, October 1, 2009.

The Way It Iz: This day September 30th, 2009

A couple was caught in the act in the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium bathroom having sex. There's actual video footage. These people are either brave or just stupid. The germs, man! OMG! Here's the link....you've been warned and I didn't make you click the link. http://deadspin.com/5370499/couple-christens-dallas-cowboys-stadiums-new-bathroom-stalls

A powerful earthquake in the South Pacific hurled a massive tsunami at the shores of Samoa and American Samoa, flattening villages and sweeping cars and people out to sea, leaving at least 99 dead and dozens missing. An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.6 struck Indonesia today, the U.S. Geological Survey said, causing power and phone outages in some regions.

This is extremely sad. I hope they continue the search for survivors. An earthquake triggered the tsunami at 8.3. I am a avid Survivor fan, so I know the current Survivor was filmed in Samoa, but they are filming the next Survivor there also. I was glad to hear that no one for the Survivor series was injured. Just thought I would let you guys know in case you were wondering also.

A man buys a taco in New York City. No big deal, right? Check this video out. This man was jogging, naked with a fanny pack on. LMAO! If you've never been out of your small town and you think these things don't go on, please! I lived in California for four years and I can't begin to tell you what I saw in San Francisco, Sacramento, and Oakland. Here's the link: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2009/09/30/ac.shot.tues.cnn

TLC announces a new show, which debuts November 2, will be "Kate Plus 8.

"The breakup of Jon and Kate Gosselin's marriage this year changed the composition of the reality show's November relaunch, the network announced Tuesday.

"Given the recent changes in the family dynamics, it only makes sense for us to refresh and recalibrate the program to keep pace with the family," TLC President Eileen O'Neill said.

After 10 years of marriage, the couple announced their separation and divorce filing on a special one-hour episode of their TLC reality series "Jon & Kate Plus 8" in June.

"I'm tired of smiling on the outside while I'm crying on the inside," Kate said in June. "I've been doing that for a long time."

This is possible the best thing TLC could have done about this show. My wife and I have been watching since Jon and Kate Plus 8 began and since this has happened the show has been sorta of boring. Jon became the biggest prick when he divorced. I'm certain that the fame went straight to his head; especially when he visited West Coast Choppers. Kate can be a bitch sometimes, but when you've got 8 kids, you gotta work something out for the kids. That's way too many kids to be screwing over with divorce. Anyway, I'm sure the new show will be great without him.

"Just going with the plays that were called." I am not a huge Terrell Owens fan, but his post-game interview this past Sunday has made me gain a little more respect for him. The reporters were baiting him with questions (as they always do). They were trying to get Terrell to say something bad about his teammates. He refused to give them anything they could use. When the media became a little irritated, Terrell Owens told them that if he said anything that the media would turn his words into something different to make him look bad. Terrell also stated that he realized that he didn't give his last to teams the respect that he should have. I personally have been following Terrell Owens on Twitter. He seems to have turned a new leaf with his daily postings of scripture. He seems very humble. Good job, Terrell! I wish you luck in Buffalo.....

----------

That's all for today...wait, I think I forgot something. Oh, yeah, Obama!

We're getting to a place where we can't even believe our eyes or ears.

Let me give you some examples:

The government will tell you that you need to have the swine flu vaccination. In fact, in New York, they made it mandatory for health care workers. MANDATORY! Here it comes, America! But in Albany today, health care workers are protesting being forced into getting the shot.

Sick! Just makes me sick! Oh, shhhhhh, they may hear that and come running with the damn vaccine!

That's the way it iz! This day, Wednesday, September 30, 2009.

The Way It Iz: This day September 29th, 2009

Heys, peeps! Thanks for stopping by. Let's get to it....

Four teens were charged with the fatal beating of a Chicago student.

Derrion Albert was walking home from school Thursday when he was beaten to death in a fight between two rival groups outside a community center. In court Monday, prosecutors described the alleged attack on Albert by Silvonus Shannon, 19; Eric Carson, 16; and Eugene Riley, 18. Carson, who is charged as an adult, and Shannon are Fenger students. The three are being held without bond on charges of first-degree murder. A hearing is set for Oct. 19. Late Monday, Chicago police said a 17-year-old also was charged in the slaying. Prosecutors did not say Monday whether he will be tried as an adult. Carson hit Albert in the head with a railroad tie. The other person punched him in the face, prosecutors say. Albert fell, unconscious, prosecutors said, and when he regained consciousness, he moved away and tried to stand. He was surrounded by five Altgeld Gardens residents. Riley hit him with a railroad tie and Shannon stomped on his head.

I watched the video of this horrible chaos. This was appalling and just utter ridiculous! Thanks to the youth that got out to video what was going on so the arrest could be made, but I wish he would have handed the camera to someone else and helped this young man out. I have the link but I promise you that it is pretty brutal and graphic. It just pisses me off that these boys will end up sitting around in jail on tax-payers money when the should be frickin' put to death. Here's the link on USA Today....http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2009/09/people-gathered-today-at-chicagos-fenger-high-school-where-derrion-albert-was-an-honor---student-to-remember-him-and-call-f.html

Health authorities are investigating after a 14-year-old girl died a few hours after receiving a cervical cancer vaccine.

Health officials in Coventry, about 100 miles northwest of London, said Tuesday they had quarantined the batch of vaccine given at the school attended by Natalie Morton.

Morton died after being the given the Cervarix vaccine. The vaccine protects against two strains of the human papilloma virus that causes cervical cancer.

Authorities began offering it to teenage girls last year. The immunization program was controversial because of suggestions that it would encourage younger girls to be sexual active.

OK....this may seem far-fetched to some of you Dems out there, but this is what I am talking about when I say that my kid, my wife or myself will not be getting this H1N1 vaccine. Oh, now they have a HIV vaccine, which in a sense is promoting people to be more sexually active; kind of like this story. I don't believe these vaccines have been tested long enough. Go right ahead, lab rats! Jump out there and get your vaccines from your beloved government!

The U.S. Secret Service, the agency assigned to protect the president, has launched an investigation into an application on Facebook that allows users to create polls after a site member built a poll asking if President Obama should be killed. The possible responses to the poll were "yes," "maybe," "if he cuts my health care" and "no."

Wow! What idiot did this?!??! Don't you know that "big brother" is always watching?! Even I know what not to say on the internet about Obama.....jezz. And I push the card sometimes, but not to that level. I mean, Obama is an idiot, but, man, he doesn't deserve that.......Which brings me to this, do you think people get too comfortable on Facebook? I'm saying, you got people posting that they are washing dishes, taking a bath, taking a dump (well, I haven't seen that one, but it wouldn't surprise me).....I saw one girl post that see was dropped off for work early and had to wait for her ride every day after work at a mall. I saw this on Twitter. Now, if some psycho is out looking for someone, and you're posting this type of info, aren't you or your kids setting themselves up for potential danger? Just a little fyi.

---------------------

If you get a second, check out this video from a Domino's Pizza in Conover, North Carolina.

Two employees posted you tube vids of themselves contaminating food by sneezing on food and putting cheese strings up their nose then onto the pizza.

This store has been closed by their corporate office. All 20 employees are out of a job because of these two a**holes, Michael Stezer and Kristy Hammonds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaNuE3DsJHM

Here we go again..... Barack Obama says that Mr. Otto (just some guy) "lost his insurance coverage in the middle of kemotherapy because he didn't report gall stones that he didn't even know about. They delayed his treatment and he died because of it." Is that true? No. But Wow! It's a sad story if it were true. Enough to make you want to get governemnt health care so this never happens again.

Fact is Otto didn't die because his insurance canceled due to the unreported gall stones. He regained his insurance three weeks later. He secured a life extended stem cell transplant through the insurance company. Mr. Otto did die, but just this year. Almost four years after the surgery. Is this all Obama has to promote his health care plan? Lies?

How about trying this on for size, Mr. Obama! Here's some examples of the Health Care System failures: patients being killed prematurely due to misdiagnosis; patients waiting to win a daily lottery just to see a doctor; patients having babies in the hallways because there isn't enough maternity rooms; patients drinking water out of the potted plants in the room because there is no one available to bring them a drink......You can find all those stories in the United Kingdom and some in Canada where they already have Government Health Care.

That's the way it iz! This day Tuesday, September 29, 2009.

Hello, folks. Thanks for checking in today.

Actor Randy Quaid and his wife, Evi, were arrested in Texas on Thursday. They're accused of skipping out on a $10,000 hotel bill, authorities said.

No! Not Cousin Eddie from National Lampoon's Vacation!!! Turns out he and his wife are each faces felony charges of burglary, defrauding an innkeeper and conspiracy. That's on hell of a hotel bill. Ishmael from Kingpin would have never done this.

The Tyra Banks Show spoke with a 16-year-old who claims he is no longer a cross-dresser or homosexual after participating in an exorcism.

Tyra introduces us to the husband and wife "prophets" who performed the exorcism, which became infamous after it was posted on YouTube, and a member of the gay rights activist group who demanded it be removed from the Internet.

Then, we meet a 14-year-old cheerleader who is now suing her school district for $50 million over her coach's alleged reading of her Facebook page.

Excuse me...what did I just post?!?! O-M-G! Being gay is such a damned thing that you must have an exorcism performed on you. What a bunch of crap, man! I can't even believe this was aired. I agree with the gay rights activist group on this one. How asinine is this?! I don't really know what to say to this. Never heard of anything like it, so I posted it.

Now as for the girl suing for $50 million over her coach reading her FB page.....what-the-hell-ever! Probably your teachers, friends, family, strangers, stalkers, possible co-workers have all read this too. What has the world come to when a 14-year-old can have a case taken over something like this. Hmmmmm. Lawyers......greedy jerks.....nevermind, makes sense now.

I wonder.....can I make a case against Wal-Mart for having an "Enter" and "Exit" door? Maybe I wanted to go in the "Exit"door. Maybe I don't like being told which door to go in. That's gotta be worth, say 100 Million, right?

Michael Finton (aka Talib Islam), 29, of Decatur, Illinois, drove a vehicle he believed contained a ton of explosives to the Paul Findley Federal Building and Courthouse in Springfield. He got out of the truck, got into a waiting car with an undercover agent, and then, when he was a few blocks away, attempted to detonate the bomb with a remote-control device.

"When he pushed the button, nothing happened except he got handcuffs slapped on him," said one Justice Department official familiar with the case.

The truck contained inactive explosives.

People, this is a white man. Naturally, white people are going to do the most creative, destructive, sickening thing to kill people other than most races. Stay with me....this man is white, changes his name to Talib Islam and proclaims to be a terrorist. This man took all this time arming this vehicle and can't even detonate the damn thing. al Qaeda, listen up! Stick to your suicidal maniacs!!!! You can't get a white part-time cook to do the job for you! This guy looks like a redneck...what? Did you promise him all the virgins he could wish for if he blew this up???? White al Qaeda.....Pffft!

Let me leave you with some pathetic quotes by Obama.......

OBAMA: In America, there's a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS, ABC NEWS: How about the funding for ACORN?

OBAMA: Frankly it's not something I've been following closely. I didn't even know that ACORN was getting a whole lot of federal money.

OBAMA: Foreign leaders who are heads of center-right governments say to me, I don't understand why people call you socialist.

OBAMA: There's an awful lot of misinformation out that that gets around that we have to fight through and that's why I'm on the David Letterman show.

REP. BARBARA LEE, D-CALIF.: Former President Castro was very engaging, very energetic.

CONGRESSWOMAN LAURA RICHARDSON, D-CALIF.: With Fidel, he listened, he said the exact same words that President Obama has said.

We're in deep-S**t, people! Thanks to those Obama voters!

That's the way it iz. This day, Friday, September 25, 2009.
