ThinkFast: October 16, 2009
At a town hall event in New Orleans yesterday, 9-year old Tyren Scott asked President Obama, “Why do people hate you? They supposed to love you. God is love.” Obama responded, “If you were watching TV lately, it seems like everybody’s just getting mad all the time. And you know, I think that you’ve got to take it with a grain of salt. Some of it is just what’s called politics.” Watch the video here.
CNN has rejected an ad produced by America’s Voice and Media Matters that calls out the network for giving Lou Dobbs a prominent platform to spew anti-immigrant hate. “The most trusted name in news isn’t willing to critically examine one of its pre-eminent hosts,” said Eric Burns, president of Media Matters. “He isn’t worthy of the platform CNN gives him.”
Obama is facing criticism from his liberal allies for moving too slowly to fill positions on the federal court. “During his first nine months in office, Obama has won confirmation in the Democratic-controlled Senate for just three of his 23 nominations for federal judgeships, largely because Republicans have used anonymous holds and filibuster threats to slow the proceedings to a crawl.”
The House voted yesterday “to allow detainees being held at the Guantánamo Bay naval base in Cuba to be transferred to the United States, but only to stand trial.” Republicans tried to strip the measure from the overall Homeland Security Department appropriations bill but failed by 224 to 193.
Some rank-and-file congressional Democrats are expressing frustration about the influence of Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) in the health care reform debate. “This is the United States of America. This is not the United States of Maine,” said Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-CA). “I mean that one senator cannot hold the entire nation’s health care plan hostage.”
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-MT) said yesterday that he believes that “every Democrat” in the Senate will end up supporting healthcare reform legislation. Baucus also said that “there will be at least one Republican and maybe a couple more who also will vote for it.”
House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) blasted “charges by a group of Republican lawmakers that a Muslim activist group has planted interns on Capitol Hill in an effort to alter national security legislation.” “Numerous Muslim-American interns have served the House ably and they deserve our appreciation and respect, not attacks on their character or patriotism,” said Conyers in a statement.
After an investigation in to allegedly fraudulent ballots from Afghanistan’s disputed election, the U.N.-backed Electoral Complaints Commission has found that President Hamid Karzai’s portion of the vote has been reduced to about 47 percent, “an outcome that will trigger a runoff between him and his closest competitor.” Karzai’s ambassador to Washington said yesterday that a runoff is “likely.”
The Treasury Department’s “pay czar” Kenneth Feinberg “pushed outgoing Bank of America Corp. Chief Executive Kenneth D. Lewis into giving back about $1 million he received so far this year and forgoing the rest of his $1.5 million salary for 2009.” Feinberg reportedly decided that Lewis’ retirement benefits package and unvested stock worth at least $69.3 million “was large enough, and possibly too big.”
And finally: Yesterday, the national media tripped over themselves to provide live coverage of a runaway balloon that was supposedly carrying a young boy on-board. Falcon Henne — aka “balloon boy” — suggested to CNN last night that it was all “an elaborate attention-seeking stunt.” “We did this for the show,” Falcon said. The father — Richard Henne — dismissed allegations that the disappearance was staged on NBC’s Today show. During the live interview, “Falcon threw up into a container when his father” was answering the question.

I wonder the same thing that Tyren does. Obama handled it well, but kids are more in tune with what is happening than you think. Tyren’s mom seems to have it under control and is teaching him good values. That in itself, is a hopeful thing.
October 16th, 2009 at 9:05 amI didn’t follow a minute of the “Balloon Boy” adventures yesterday, and in retrospect I guess I am glad that I did not.
In even further retrospect, I’m hoping it was just a mistake and not the story of an American family getting too big a taste of instant fame.
October 16th, 2009 at 9:11 ameven though he produces enough hot air daily to fill all the balloons on the planet, there is no balloon large enough to carry Plush Limpballs away

October 16th, 2009 at 9:16 am“I mean that one senator cannot hold the entire nation’s health care plan hostage.”
____________________________________________________________
How interesting that just two items above this was an item about how anonymous holds are used to keep President Obama’s nominations for federal court from being confirmed.
There are a number of things about the way the system is set up that really suck. And it often results in nominations AND legislation getting held hostage.
October 16th, 2009 at 9:17 amTranslation of CNN position: “As long as Lou Dobbs gets ratings, we don’t care what he says.”
Which is pretty much the attitude of any medium facilitating hate-spinners.
October 16th, 2009 at 9:21 amIf a nine year old had posed that exact same question to President Bush (43) when he was in office, I wonder how he would have answered it.
Dubya probably wouldn’t have been able to wrap his head around the “why do people hate you?” part, since he had been kept so insulated he most likely wasn’t aware of it.
October 16th, 2009 at 9:24 amWhere is everybody today?
October 16th, 2009 at 9:24 amThe double-edge sword here is that the Congress is so busy over the health care reform bill that the usual session recesses will be cancelled up to at least Thanksgiving and perhaps beyond. Therefore, any opportunity for recess appointments will be delayed until then.

Great read about Oxybreath, if anyone is interested.
October 16th, 2009 at 9:29 am“People hate me because they hate my freedoms”
I’m still trying to wrap my head around the excuse that we were attacked on September 11, 2001 because “terrorists hate us and they hate our freedoms”. And am very happy that we now have an administration that speaks to the American people as grown-ups.
That we currently have Lou Dobbs spewed hatred about illegal immigrants giving Americans leprosy, elected members of the legislature crippling the judicial system because they don’t like the sitting president, thoroughly incompetant leadership in the Senate so beholden to special interests and the notion of “bipartisanship” that they will cripple any meaningful effort to give Americans the basic human right of affordable healthcare…and a nation so captivated by Rush Limbaugh trying to buy a football team and the adventures of a boy in a balloon that no substantive debate about war, life, death, and policy can be carried out….that I think Obama may be vastly overrating our ability to function as grown-ups
October 16th, 2009 at 9:32 amAnd finally: Yesterday, the national media tripped over themselves to provide live coverage of a runaway balloon that was supposedly carrying a young boy on-board.
and NOW wants to blame the family for creating a hoax…
jeez… i’m sick too, falcon… that was disgusting…
sure, that is one weird family, but they did NOT cause the sensation the ensued… and to take the words of a SIX YEAR OLD CHILD as any kind of proof of “a show” is incredibly STOOPID.
but, considering today’s “media”, nothing surprises me…
October 16th, 2009 at 9:33 amSenate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-MT) said yesterday that he believes that “every Democrat” in the Senate will end up supporting healthcare reform legislation.
So he has all 57 democrats on board? what 3 Independent senators and we know one of them is not voting for it. so the sad part it seems is the snowe might be that 60th vote. Still should not mean she gets to negotiate.
October 16th, 2009 at 9:33 am13. Pilotshark,
There are 58 Dems and 2 Indies. One Indie won’t back it, but Snow and Collins might. Ditto Voinivich. And possibly Lugar. Also, Baucus is an ass. Neither Nelson nor Landrieu will vote for the final bill, but I doubt either will filabuster.
October 16th, 2009 at 9:41 amDon’t watch CNN anymore. Lou Dobbs, ultra-negative Jack What’s His Face (Situation Room), Blitzer who couldn’t answer the simplest questions on Jeopardy. The list goes on.

I have totally given up on all the 24/7 “news” channels.
There is no “there” there.
It is simply shameless trolling for corporate right-wing crap.
As far as I am concerned, so much of the Obama paranoic hatred stems from white male anxiety over black male genitalia.
So many aging fat white repiggie guys have major “size” concerns, especially given their own impotence issues.
No matter how much men may tell women otherwise, obese diabetic men are usually sexually impotent, and can only manage marginal sexual results with heavy-duty viagra and cialis.

Bigots like you never go away. Maybe we can make you ashamed of yourself though and that is the goal.
You’re so transparent that small children see through your thin veil of self-rightiousness.
October 16th, 2009 at 10:35 amNo accident, the parents are fcuking incompetent media whores.
Kids don’t lie for their parents very convincingly as noted when they’re so uncomfortable with the hoax that the little guy vomited TWICE on live TV this morning.
And the father’s demeanor is anything but innocent.
Simply observing the characters in question and their actions do tell the tale.
October 16th, 2009 at 10:35 amThink about this scenario: the Republican Party is down to ONE senator. Anonymous holds block every single nomination, preventing judgeships and cabinet posts from getting confirmed throughout an entire 4-year administration. It’s theoretically possible, unless the Senate changes its rules.

October 16th, 2009 at 10:36 amI had to listen to that “Balloon Boy” BS ALL DAY yesterday at work. CNN only cut away for commercials, and for about 5 minutes to talk about democrats being annoyed that Olympia Snowe’s opinion seems so powerful at the moment. (It was funny watching Pelosi try and respond to the allegation that she was less powerful than Snowe in the healthcare debate).
I knew from the get-go that there was nobody in that little balloon.
Someone really ought to make a “while they were distracting you with this, you could have been learning about this” type of site, and report on how much of our time and braincells are wasted by major media outlets.

October 16th, 2009 at 10:57 amI live in Denver and there is serious doubt as to Richard Heene’s honesty. The little boy had a slip when he said “we did it for a show” plus there is also Heene’s strange explanations as to why he thought the child was in the basket. Why would someone who has just “lost” their son call the local stations before calling 911?
There is just a feeling that Mr. Heene (who seems to love publicity) was lying. The sheriff is going to re-interview the family.

October 16th, 2009 at 11:36 amAt a town hall event in New Orleans yesterday, 9-year old Tyren Scott asked President Obama, “Why do people hate you? They supposed to love you. God is love.”
Seems to bit that this would have been the perfect opportunity for the President to remind little Tyren that, “God is love,” is a distinctly Christian concept and that in the US we have something called the, “…separation of church and state..,” which means that he – the President – would have to step out of his position as President to answer the question as a private citizen of the US and not as the President. (Did you secularist get offended by the cheap tricks of this Democratic president to appear religious?)
OTOH, the President could have just as accurately told little Tyren that we, the US, since we are not a Christian nation – according to the President, could not address such a remark as, “God is love.”
This was one cute, lame attempt to manipulate the populace with their beliefs even though it’s not clear that the President actually agrees with little Tryen or with the populace. (BHO has only gone to church three times since becoming POTUS.)
bit has to remind himself that the effectiveness of a salesman is not diminished because one know the salesman is trying to sell something.
Wonder if the ploy actually works one anyone?

Not nearly offended as we were by the cheap and transparent tricks used by the previous president.
October 16th, 2009 at 12:25 pmSeems like this is a perfect opportunity for belac to remind bit that ‘God is Love’ is far from a distinctly Christian concept…

Are you saying that one can’t determine what religion lead little Tyren to say, “God is love?”
That is, are you saying that little Tyren’s, “God is love,” is the expression of the pluralist summary of all the views of all those who believe in a god in the US?
So, would it NOT have been a perfect opportunity for the President to clarify that the remark was actually, “god is love?”

We shouldn’t do it to ourselves, and we shouldn’t use fear for political purposes—scaring people to death so they will vote for you, or scaring people to death so that we create a terror-industrial complex.”
…”We’re spending an enormous amount of money on homeland security, and I think we should spend whatever it takes. But I think we have to be careful that we don’t get so caught up in trying to throw money at the terrorist and counter-terrorist problem that we’re essentially creating an industry that will only exist as long as you keep the terrorist threat pumped up.

October 16th, 2009 at 1:01 pmA group of Republican lawmakers said, “a Muslim activist group has planted interns on Capitol Hill”. I wonder if John Conyers would be willing to inform us of exactly which Republican lawmakers made this claim. Where and when did they make this claim? Does he have a recording of these claims being made?
If a group of Republican lawmakers really said that Muslim activists have infiltrated capital hill, they either need to provide evidence to back up their claim, or they should be sued in a class action by the Muslim interns for defamation of character, and anything else the lawyers can think of.

Yes, little Tyren, it’s only a coincidence that the most rabidly anti-Obama part of the U.S. are the former Confedrate States that fought a war to try to keep ownership of their African-American slaves about 145 years ago and within Obama’s lifetime had separate drinking fountains for the races and many of the people there would be enraged if Obama used the same water fountain as them.
Just a coincidence, Tyren, the real reason there are so many rabidly anti-Obama people in that part of the country is that there are so many people in that area of the country with advanced degrees in economics who really understand what’s going on.
You can see these economic experts at gatherings called ‘
tea parties’.
