Obama Says Michael Vick Deserved a Second Chance

Embattled Eagles QB deserved opportunity at redemption, says prez

Star Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick now has even more to showboat about.

President Obama lavished praise on the record-breaking QB who traded his jail jumpsuit for a No. 7 Eagles jersey after serving time in prison for running a dog fighting ring and said Vick deserved his second chance, according to Sports Illustrated.

Everyone deserves a second chance

There goes the Dog Lovers Vote

Dog lovers believe there is no second chance for what Vick did.

Justice will not be served untill Vick is choped up, ground up and sold as Bil-Jac.

President and family on multi-million dollar Christmas vacation in Hawaii

Hawaii Reporter has turned up some eye-opening information about the costs and other aspects of the Obama get-away.

Just consider these estimates on part of the costs of the latest Obama Hawaii trip:

* Mrs. Obama’s early flight to Hawaii: $63,000 (White House Dossier)

* Obama’s round trip flight to Hawaii: $1 million (GAO estimates)

* Housing in beachfront homes for Secret Service and Seals in Kailua ($1,200 a day for 14 days): $16,800

* Costs for White House staff staying at Moana Hotel: $134,400 ($400 per day for 24 staff) – excluding meals and other room costs

* Police overtime: $250,000 (2009 costs reported by Honolulu Police Department)

* Ambulance: $10,000 (City Spokesperson)

TOTAL COST: $1,474,200

But that $1.47 million figure leaves out a number of signficant costs that simply could not be calculated by Hawaii Reporter:

* Rental of office building in Kailua on canal

* Security upgrades and additional phone lines.

* Costs for car rentals and fuel for White House staff staying at Moana Hotel (Secret Service imports most of the cars used here to escort the president).

* Surveillance before the president arrives.

* Travel costs for Secret Service and White House staff traveling ahead of the President.

White House spokesmen insist Obama's vacation expenses are in line with those of previous presidents, which may well be true, but, since the government refuses to disclose many important details about any presidential journey, nobody can know for sure.

There appear to be reasons to suspect the Obamas' trip could have been done for less, according to Hawaii Reporter.

"They could have chosen a less expensive and more secure place to stay such as a beachfront home on the Kaneohe Marine Corps Air Station – just a two-minute drive away from the Kailuana Place property where they are now," according to Hawaii Reporter.

"The president visits the military base daily to workout, bowl with his kids or enjoy the more private beach there. He also could have stayed at a home 15 minutes away on the beach fronting Bellows Air Force Base as President Bill Clinton did."

But Obama and friends opted instead to secure use of three luxury beachfront places, including the “Winter White House” – or Kailua home that the president rents two weeks a year.

That facility, Hawaii Reporter, noted, normally rents for an estimated $3,500 a day or $75,000 a month, according to the web site Gadling.com.

The latter describes the place as a “7,000 square foot home [that] features 5 bedrooms, 5 ½ bathrooms, a media room with surround sound, a kitchen suited for a master chef, a dining room and great room, a secluded lagoon-style pool with tropical waterfalls and a lavish island spa. The ocean lanai and garden lanai showcase ornate landscaping and stunning views of Kailua Bay and Mount Olomana.”

I think that obama is a pos. I remember the media shytting thier drawers every time GB went to Crawford.

However, before I critize obama for these costs I'd like to know what some of those trips cost during GB's tenure.

I'm from the Detroit area so I understand the need for the obama types to impress the posse.

I worked with a bunch of guys from Wayne/Westland but over the years I've lost touch with everybody, OR they've passed on.

I wonder if they're going to be serving that healthy food BAMO seems to so enamored with.

Let's see if "imam 0-bomb" follows the lead of his fellow socialist/marxist/communist bedfellows in Cuba and Russia?
castro is wacking the government rolls with a big stick and the russkies are wacking their government rolls 20%.
Don't ever believe "imam" or the socialist dumkies would even consider anything so sensible! They'll be cauterwauling like banshees if the old-line Republicans still in control of the House of Representatives screw up thier courage and propose even 5% cuts!

End run on congress and the constitution??

Hunters, looks like you are going to be limited as to what you can buy..

Let me rephrase that, you are being watched, not limited....yet..

The incrementalism the leftists use is evident in this travesty! Their aim is to know where every firearm in the nation is so when they have the authority, as they just lost, to disarm everybody they'll know where to go to get the guns!
Don't believe that?
Look what the gun-grabbers did in Australia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After you do that look up what the crime rate in Australia soared to after the innocent population was disarmed!

Don't ask me, I just work here

After reading his prepared remarks on the economy at a window manufacturer on Friday, President Obama sought to take some photos with workers when a pool reporter caught up with him and asked him to explain the connection between the drop in the unemployment rate and the lower-than-expected number of jobs added in December.

Obama's response, according to the pool:

"You know, you've got to talk to Austan Goolsbee. That's his job."

Obama then posed for some photos.

President Obama seems to be trying to rebuild his ties with corporate America, with the latest move being his plan to name prominent business leader William Daley as chief of staff.
Daley, a JPMorgan Chase (JPM, Fortune 500) executive and former Commerce Secretary, will be named Thursday to serve as the new White House chief of staff, two senior officials told CNN.

barrack hussein obama in March of 2006, "The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. government can't pay it's own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assitance from foreign countries to finance our government's reckless fiscal policies. ...Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally."
Was this really "imam 0-bomb" in a previous life blathering from his teleprompter?
NO HYPOCRISY????????????????????????

Predictable, no comment from the duped boob RETARDS about the blatant hypocrisy!

The narcisist "imam 0-bomb" blathering off both sides of his teleprompter again last night, ALL about HIMSELF!
In one breath "the heinous act was done by a deranged person not brought on by rhetoric!"
Practically in the next breath "we have to be more civil and control the rhetoric!"
TRANSLATION, the CONSERVATIVES have to stop telling the truth about "imam's" anti-American regime!
As the assault by "imam's" cohorts against Governor Palin gets more strident by the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheney: Obama has learned that Bush policies were right

President Obama has “learned from experience” that some of the Bush administration’s decisions on terrorism issues were necessary, according to former Vice President **** Cheney.

In his first interview since undergoing major heart surgery last July, Cheney said he thinks Obama has been forced to rethink some of his national security positions now that he sits in the Oval Office.

"I think he's learned that what we did was far more appropriate than he ever gave us credit for while he was a candidate. So I think he's learned from experience. And part of that experience was the Democrats having a terrible showing last election."

Cheney also asserted that Obama has learned that the prison at Guantanamo Bay simply cannot be closed, despite the promises he made while campaigning for the White House.

The former vice president cited the Obama administration’s expanded use of drones in Pakistan as more evidence of continuity from the policies of the Bush White House.

"As I say, I think he's found it necessary to be more sympathetic to the kinds of things we did," Cheney said. "They've gotten active, for example, with the drone program, using Predator and the Reaper to launch strikes against identified terrorist targets in the various places in the world."

I think you are confused as your postings are not accurate and if anything misleading.


By facitiating a deal between the Chinese and Boeing, it will add jobs in the future when the work is ordered.

It is clowns like you who want America to fail under Obamas leadership and you resort to posting fabrications and lies.


Rush and old man sleep in the same bed....


Securing future work for Boeing is not destroying the American economy.



Boeing announced it is cutting 1,100 jobs.

LONG BEACH, Calif. — Dwindling domestic demand for C-17 cargo planes will force Boeing Co. to slash 1,100 jobs at its U.S. plants, most of them in Long Beach, Calif., where the aerospace giant has cut 13,000 jobs since the 1990s, the company said Thursday.

The Chinese side, as it often does during summits, brought its checkbook,

Union sues over Haley's remarks about Boeing plant

South Carolina's anti-union reputation was key to the 2009 decision by Chicago-based Boeing to expand its assembly operation here. In 2009, only two other states had smaller shares of unionized workers than South Carolina's 5.4 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
