Pfeiffer had issued a stinging attack on Krauthammer, alleging that his Churchill [...] The White House incorrectly claimed that a bust of Winston Churchill was not removed from the White House when President Obama moved in, insisting with emphatic certainty that it had simply been moved to the residence but then retracting the assertion. In a “Fact Check” post added to the White House website Friday, White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer scornfully dismissed as “100% false” the “rumor” that Obama had removed the [...] Mitt Romney brands Olympics ‘fabulous’ after string of embarrassing gaffes Said he’ll put bust of Winston Churchill – which was given to President Bush and returned by Obama – back into White House Awkwardly refers to Labour leader Ed Miliband as ‘Mr Leader’ Mitt Romney was today frantically attempting to win over the [...] At an event in London, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said, “I’m looking forward to the bust of Winston Churchill being in the Oval Office again.” http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/romney-looking-forward-bust-winston-churchill-being-oval-office-again_649021.html by Heather Stewart The UK’s stop-start recovery has been the weakest to follow any recession in the past 100 years, with output still 4% below the level of 2008. Great Depression – 1930s The devastating downturn of the early 1930s followed Winston Churchill’s decision as chancellor, in 1925, to hitch the UK economy to the gold standard at an impossibly uncompetitive exchange rate. That left British industry vulnerable to the slump in worldwide demand [...] Telegraph Time to get serious: France’s President Sarkozy, US President Obama, German Chancellor Merkel and Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron Photo: REUTERS Sir Mervyn King, the Governor of the Bank of England, this week called the current financial crisis “the most serious… since the 1930s, if ever”, in justification for a further £75 billion of “quantitative easing”. Since Sir Mervyn cited [...] by Prof. Mujahid Kamran Global Research, June 7, 2011 New Dawn Special Issue 16 The control of the US, and of global politics, by the wealthiest families of the planet is exercised in a powerful, profound and clandestine manner. This control began in Europe and has a continuity that can be traced back to the time when the bankers discovered it was more profitable to give loans to governments [...] Janet Tavakoli, from Letters to the Editor, Financial Times Greater Global Risk Now Than At Time Of LTCM Sir, The Financial Services Authority claims that hedge fund gearing has decreased (report, May 2) and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York suggests that there is no close correlation between hedge fund returns making the current situation less alarming than in the past (May 3). I believe it [...] Perhaps Mr Obama was smothered also by his audience, which remained stubbornly unresponsive. For most of the time the President had nothing to bounce off: no applause and certainly no shouts of praise or blame as might be heard in an American church or at an American political rally. The presidential text sounded as if it had been worked on so hard [...] by Anonymouse BREAKING NEWS….. Today the Obama administration announced that he has found Amelia Earhart in an undisclosed location which he had noted while flying to Mumbai last November.

Throughout the history of nations, monetizing the budgetary excesses of governments has proven to be a direct path to economic perdition.

The Hannity/Limbaugh line finds every enemy of Israel in every freedom fighter movement. It’s troubling to me that pro-war neocon Stratfor (i.e. George Friedman) has become [...] A possible Republican presidential candidate suggested in a radio interview that President Barack Obama’s childhood in Kenya shaped his world-view – even though Mr Obama did not visit Kenya until he was in his 20s. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee told a New York radio station on Monday that Mr Obama’s youth led him to resent the West, which he said explains why Mr [...] We Need Real Leaders Now!
