How the Worm Turns: Part Duex: Obama 2008: Bypassing Congress Unconstitutional

Back in 2008, when then Senator Obama was running for top dog of the U. S of A, he ran on the point that skirting around congress and going the executive route was not only wrong but unconstitutional (if you don't believe me, watch the video below). Funny, not 5 years later we now find Obama doing what he bitched about Bushy-boy doing: skirting around congress because it won't work with him. So my question is: why is good for the Obamanator and not for the Bush?

Here's a thing, if you want to be a leader then fucking lead. That means don't go on the campaign trail (especially when you're done this time you're done, no more running for the top of the collective American heap) to bitch about the other side of the aisle. (And that really goes for both parties.) Stay in DC and hammer it out. Like a real leader. Because you can't have it both ways. Even-though that is what you want. Same goes for the filibuster. You can't use it over and over again just to bitch that the other side of the aisle is using the same tactic against you when you hold power.  





It's time for those of you elected "officials" to pull your heads out your asses for the good of the country and not the good of your moronic party. And it's time for us that elect you assholes to pull our heads out of asses for the good of the country and not the good of the party you think is better than the other. Because in truth they are one in the same and pretty much suck equally.

Barack Obama 2004 Interview; How the Worm has Turned Since in Office

I came across an old 2004 interview of, at the time, then, Illinois State Senator Barack Obama on Public Access-TV conducted by attorney and activist Frank Avila. The interview was for when Obama threw his hat in the ring for State Senator to represent the state of Illinois in Washington DC.

Most of the interview is pretty soft ball, with questions like "Who is Barack Obama?" Which has Obama answering jokingly about how his name is mispronounced. How people like to say: Yo-Mamma or Alabama. Then he goes on to say that his name means "One who's blessed" in Swahili.

Obama then goes on to talk about his father and mother and where they met and how he grew up in Hawaii and then onto his education. It's definitely an interview where most people have no idea who the hell he is and he knows it. Which is rather funny since he is --at the time-- a State Senator. Not only that but teaches constitutional law at the University of Chicago. The Democrats, however, did make Obama a household name after making him the keynote speaker at the Presidential Convention.

What I found most fascinating about the interview is when they ask Obama about the use of up holding, then President Bush's, political nominations --a thing that the Democratic Party complains about the GOP today and has for the last 5 years. One of the things he [Obama] was for in the way of tactics was using the filibuster. He [Obama] believed that the use of the filibuster was fine to use if he believed if the nomination was someone that would do harm to the nation or if the person --in Obama's words: Wasn't up to snuff. One of these nominations was one of President Bush's judicial nominations to the U.S. Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia, Miguel Estrada. Obama believed that Estrada was a good person to use the tactic on because a) he was young and Estrada would technically be on the bench for 30-40 years. And b) Estrada wasn't a good nomination and he didn't know much of what he stood for. Obama was also worried that Estrada would give wide access to Executive Branch, mostly in the form of Attorney General John Ashcroft, for spying on regular people and that Law enforcement wouldn't need a warrant to read people's e-mails.Which is funny because Obama has allowed the NSA just that. 

(The Democrats did achieve victory against Miguel Estrada, successfully blocking his nomination on the grounds that he was unqualified and extreme.) 


Obama also goes on to talk abut education, and how that most people's complaints about the education system are in the form of how bad the Chicago Schools are. Oddly enough that concern didn't stop him from placing Arnie Duncan, then the head of the Chicago School District, the head of the nations school system.


Give the video a go, see how then Barack Obama idealism faces up with today's version on the man. See how the worm has turned from then to now.

Mtv's Sad Attempt to Twerk the VMAs Back to Relevance and Usher in the Downfall of Western Civilization

It appears that Mtv and their sad attempt to not only to keep themselves but the VMAs ( Video Music Awards ) relevant seems to be paying off in spades as along with social media but mainstream news are still abuzz about it two days later, talking about Miley Cyrus and her weak attempt to be the next Madonna.

The real story in the “Entertainment Sections” of the media should of been asking the questions of why Mtv -who have dropped the “Music” from their name- even continues to hold the VMAs considering that one has to search hard and wide to even find music videos being shown, and was their staple of what they were. Replaced now with bad scripted reality tv of white trash pregnant girls and idiots as they parade themselves from bar to bar; part to party and their next bad life choice. We just have to go back six months to see the problems they have had; with the death of Shain Gandee and the arrest of several other cast members from shows they have produced. And let us not forget the supposed “good girl” Farrah Abraham and her mediocre rise to porn fame. Not only that, but the show [VMAs] is honoring people and artists ( other than Justin Timberlake ) most of who don’t even really sign anymore. Leaving it all up to producers and autotones in the recording studios.

To somehow think Miley’s performance was somehow new or unknown to the heads of the VMAs is ludicrous. First off, despite being a live show, Mtv runs a full, fully dressed, rehearsal to make sure that they have all the camera angles, to see who and what is coming from where and when; how long the show will be -along with each act, that, and each performance on the show has probably had about a week or more prep to get all the dancing moves. Miley is just the next in a long line of others that have paved the way for her to twerk it up on live television get mothers and fathers; and right wingers who have nothing better to do other than watch these things and tell us how bad it all is and how it is somehow the downfall of Western Civilization when in fact it is sadly not the case.

NSA and What I Think

Todd Harrell, Bassist for 3 Doors Down Arrested

Bassist for 3 Doors Down, Todd Harrell (41), has been arrested and charged with Vehicular Homicide as well as Driving Under the Influence and Bringing a Controlled Substance into Jail that stemmed from an accident that [Todd] Harrell had late friday night.

Harrell was believed to be driving at a high rate of speed along Interstate 40 just outside of Nashville, Tennessee when he clipped a Ford Pick-up Truck. The truck, driven by Paul Howard Shoulders Jr., then lost control, hit a guardrail, then went down an embankment where it overturned. Shoulders, who wasn’t wearing a seatbelt was ejected from the vehicle and was later pronounced dead at a local hospital. [Todd] Harrell’s car proceeded down the road and crashed into a retaining wall about a quarter mile from the scene.

At the outset Harrell showed signs of impairment and went under a field sobriety test. During the test Harrell 

admitted to officers that he had been consuming hard cider in addition to Lortab (a prescription pain med) and Xanax. Harrell was then taken to Davidson County Jail where it was discovered by authorities that [Todd] Harrell had another 24 Oxycodone pills, 4 Oxymorphone, and 8 more Xanax pills wrapped up in a plastic baggy in his sock.

Harrell is currently in jail in lieu of a $100,000 dollar bond and has a scheduled court appearance on Thursday.

The band (3 Doors Down) issued a statement saying that they were “deeply sadden by the passing of Paul Howard Shoulders Jr.. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family and friends during this difficult time.”

Harrell is no stranger when it comes to drinking and driving. [Todd] was arrested last year in Mississippi for DUI after he had another crash. In that crash he drove through an intersection which lead to an accident.   

Metro Nashville PD has stated that they have no further information concerning Harrell other than their website info.
