Here's one of my first posts and observations on a then potential Obama presidency in Feb 07/ I'm no prophet believe you me..... it was all common sense far too many today simply 'lack',

These people have incredible video of illegals, Armed terrorists, you name it invading the country each second of every day..
Is this getting to be a common thing around the country in this growing police state?
This reminds me of the situation where the NFL football player's poor mother in law is waiting inside the hospital to say goodbye to her daughter and son and law and the dumb assed cop is outside refusing to let the man go inside for running a damn stop sign which I see local police blowing off all the time and that is no exaggeration.
That story you can see here and here in case you don't remember it..we'll wait and see what becomes of this outrageous police out of control action.

Well I'll tell you this much, if this PINO considers Returning Soldiers from battle, or people who belong to groups or individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration as am I along with the millions of Patriots marching on the government tomorrow on what's now known as National Tea Party day then I sure am a right wing extremist and damn proud of it.
This is all hullabloo and hyperbole from the Obama jackboot and thuggery arm of the new Central Socialist Government being installed quite quickly I might add, a lot quicker than I would of said could be possible particularly by a man who has yet to even prove to America he is a Natural Born Citizen spending millions of dollars from being compelled to do so. That's for damn sure.
Yesterday there were many fine posts and articles dedicated to this released Homeland or should I now say "Motherland" Security Apparatus in Washington Red Square laying down the Chairman Obama directive on who is and who is not a threat to the Socialist movement and that just about includes anyone who didn't vote for Il Duce Obama and goes from there.
Michelle Malkin's lengthy post covers it best in case you are interested in seeing whether or not you too qualify for this dangerous right wing extremist designation which I'll wear as a badge of honor after again seeing the proud patriots who are included within it..
This woman here is the brainlesschild behind this discriminatory action which I and two Chicago attorneys are looking at preemptively filing a class action civil rights action on behalf of said named groups, and I will keep all abreast of our activities and the actions we are hoping to bring against Napolitano and Obama within the next week or two.
Confirmed: The Obama DHS hit job on conservatives is real:
Michelle Malkin"Yesterday, Roger Hedgecock and the Liberty Papers posted an unclassified DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis report titled:
Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment.
The “report” (PDF file here) was one of the most embarrassingly shoddy pieces of propaganda I’d ever read out of DHS. I couldn’t believe it was real. I spent the day chasing down DHS spokespeople, who have been tied up preparing for a very important homeland security event later today: The First Lady is coming to visit their Washington office. Priorities, you know.
Well, the press office got back to me and verified that the document is indeed for real.
They were very defensive — preemptively so — in asserting that it was not a politicized document and that DHS had done reports on “leftwing extremism” in the past. I have covered DHS for many years and am quite familiar with past assessments they and the FBI have done on animal rights terrorists and environmental terrorists. But those past reports have always been very specific in identifying the exact groups, causes, and targets of domestic terrorism, i.e., the ALF, ELF, and Stop Huntingdon wackos who have engaged in physical harassment, arson, vandalism, and worse against pharmaceutical companies, farms, labs, and university researchers.
By contrast, the piece of crap report issued on April 7 is a sweeping indictment of conservatives. And the intent is clear. As the two spokespeople I talked with on the phone today made clear: They both pinpointed the recent “economic downturn” and the “general state of the economy” for stoking “rightwing extremism.” One of the spokespeople said he was told that the report has been in the works for a year.
My b.s. detector went off the chart, and yours will, too, if you read through the entire report — which asserts with no evidence that an unquantified “resurgence in rightwing extremist recruitment and radicalizations activity” is due to home foreclosures, job losses, and…the historical presidential election.
In Obama land, there are no coincidences. It is no coincidence that this report echoes Tea Party-bashing left-wing blogs (check this one out comparing the Tea Party movement to the Weather Underground!) and demonizes the very Americans who will be protesting in the thousands on Wednesday for the nationwide Tax Day Tea Party.
The nationalization of banks and industry when done by Hugo Chavez in Venezuala brought an outcry from all corners of the country and the world, Chevez' own mistress calling it a "Fascist State Grab" and most at the time seemed to agree both there and here,except of coarse the usual suspects in Hollywood..
Chavez went after the oil industry and then the banking industryy and was successful on both fronts, Obama is running down the same road using fear and intimidation to get there. How long before he seeks to install himself indefinitely as Chavez has also done as even the New York Times was appalled enought to write about it? It's already being proposed by this idiot congresssman even before inauguration day!
Now "Obammie the Commie" (my new moniker for the Socialist Chairman) wants to do the same here starting with Citibank, the symbol of capitalism if there ever was one besides the World Trade Centers of coarse, and this "Fascist Grab" is gonna be OK with everyone? Like all these other moves will just be temporary until it's nursed back to good health?
Yea, I believe that one, just like I believed Obama when he ran for the senate in Illinois on the promise that reiterated at his acceptance speech that he wouldn't abandon the job to run for president (his own words 30 sec. into the video)_We're on the road to communism and Obama must be stopped or The Free America we know is dead.
U.S. Eyes Large Stake in Citi
WSJ.com: "Citigroup Inc. is in talks with federal officials that could result in the U.S. government substantially expanding its ownership of the struggling bank, according to people familiar with the situation.
While the discussions could fall apart, the government could wind up holding as much as 40% of Citigroup's common stock. Bank executives hope the stake will be closer to 25%, these people said.
Any such move would give federal officials far greater influence over one of the world's largest financial institutions. Citigroup has proposed the plan to its regulators. The Obama administration hasn't indicated if it supports the plan, according to people with knowledge of the talks." When federal officials began pumping capital into U.S. banks last October, few experts would have predicted that the government would soon be wrestling with the possibility of taking voting control of large financial institutions. The potential move at Citigroup would give the government its biggest ownership of a financial-services company since the September bailout of insurer American International Group Inc., which left taxpayers with an 80% stake.
The talks reflect a growing fear that Citigroup and other big U.S. banks could be overwhelmed by losses amid the recession and housing crisis. Last week, Citigroup's share price fell below $2 to an 18-year low. Bank executives increasingly believe that the government needs to take a larger ownership stake in the institution to stop the slide.
Under the scenario being considered, a substantial chunk of the $45 billion in preferred shares held by the government would convert into common stock, people familiar with the matter said. The government obtained those shares, equivalent to a 7.8% stake, in return for pumping capital into Citigroup.
The move wouldn't cost taxpayers additional money, but other Citigroup shareholders would see their stock diluted. A larger ownership stake by the government could fuel speculation that other troubled banks will line up for similar agreements.
Bank of America Corp. said Sunday that it isn't discussing a larger ownership stake for the government. "There are no talks right now over that issue," said Bank of America spokesman Robert Stickler. "We see no reason to do that. We believe the goal of public policy should be to attract private capital into the bank, not to discourage it."
Shareholders' Fears
Citigroup's low share price already reflects, at least in part, a fear among shareholders that their stakes might be further diluted. A government move to take a big stake could backfire, potentially spurring investors to flee other banks, even healthier ones.
There's no universal agreement on what constitutes nationalization of a bank. In the U.K., the government already owns 43% of Lloyds Banking Group PLC, and last week moved to increase its ownership of Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC to 70% from 58%. Those two banks have been classified as "public-sector entities," and as much as £1.5 trillion ($2.136 trillion) of their liabilities have been moved over to the country's balance sheet.
The White House has knocked down recent speculation that the government is preparing to nationalize several large U.S. banks.
The U.S.'s intentions with Citigroup remain unclear. For instance, it's not yet known whether the government would seek a stronger hand in the New York company's management or day-to-day operations.
As part of the plan, Citigroup officials hope to persuade private investors that have bought preferred shares -- such as the Government of Singapore Investment Corp., Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and Kuwait Investment Authority -- to follow the government's lead in converting some of those stakes into common stock, according to people familiar with the matter. That would further bolster an obscure but increasingly pivotal measure of banks' capital known as "tangible common equity," or TCE.
The TCE measurement, one of several gauges of a bank's financial strength, gives weight to common shares -- thus the interest in converting preferred shares to common stock.
Details of the rescue remain in flux. Key questions, such as the price at which the government will convert its preferred stock into common shares, haven't been resolved.
And it's possible that other options will emerge to stabilize the company. For example, the Obama administration could decide to sit tight until the results of several new "stress tests" on major banks -- broad examinations of financial health now being mandated -- are known in a couple months, one official said.
If the deal gets nailed down, it will be Washington's third effort to aid Citigroup since last fall. In October, the Treasury Department put a total of $125 billion into eight giant financial institutions, including $25 billion to Citigroup, in exchange for preferred shares and warrants to buy stock.
Then, shortly before Thanksgiving, the government agreed to infuse another $20 billion into Citigroup as its stock tumbled. It also agreed to protect the banking company against most losses on a $301 billion pool of assets.
Among the question marks looming over the current discussions is the future of Citigroup Chief Executive Vikram Pandit and the company's board. more here
Commie Obammie Says "Yes We Can..Nationalize Citibank"

A man is pulled over and questioned about his car sign that says"abort Obama" when we've spent 8 years of people in the media and celebrity culture regularly calling for the assassination of Bush and not s single charge filed across the entire US during this time....here comes the police state folks. How about this famous sticker:
And I used to think Alex Jones was a nut, and still do in regards to 911 but he's hitting home on the police state now especially with Obama in office.
Oklahoma City police officer pulls man over for anti-Obama sign on vehicle
News OK The police officers who stopped Oklahoma City motorist Chip Harrison and confiscated a sign from his car told him he has a right to his beliefs, but the U.S. Secret Service 'could construe this as a threat against President Obama,' according to the incident report released this morning.
Capt. Steve McCool of the Oklahoma City Police Department is seen in this NewsOK.com video frame grab. McCool says an officer who wrongly pulled a man over last week and confiscated an anti-Barack Obama sign from his vehicle misinterpreted the sign as threatening.
The sign, which read "Abort Obama Not the Unborn," was returned to Harrison later that day, the report said.
Police spokesman Steve McCool said this morning that the sign was taken in error, and Oklahoma City residents should not be worried that their First Amendment rights will be violated. He said a supervisor "intervened and quickly returned the sign" after Harrison called the police department.
"Obviously, it was not a good decision to confiscate the sign," McCool said.
Harrison, who could not be reached for comment this morning, told the officers that in his opinion the words "Abort Obama" meant to impeach him. He told the officers he does not believe in abortion because he is a Christian.
Harrison was stopped while driving a white truck on westbound Interstate 44 at SW 119th at 8:45 a.m. on Fe
