Submitted by Stars Over Washington Blog
Here’s Barack Obama in 2008 campaign mode.
But the ‘campaign high’ couldn’t last and Pres. Obama has yet to pass the fabled ‘100 days’ of his term in office which is only part of the marvel that he’s already disappointed many people on multiple issues.

Did Bush conspire with Iran?
Submitted by Stars Over Washington Blog
Prevaricator extraordinaire Ahmed Chalabi says that Bush conspired with Iran before the toppling of Saddam Hussein.
But then the Bush administration wasn’t (and isn’t) known for its own clarity or truth-telling. Murkiness, oui. Honesty, nyet.
That’s one of the troubles with the ‘ends justify the means’ crowd from the world crime syndicate [...]

Submitted by Stars Over Washington Blog
Across America this April 15 ‘Tax Day Tea Party’ rallies are being staged at town halls and state capital buildings (most are at noon) to protest spendthrift deficit government spending - some sources say ’stimulus package’ also which in my book has to include the Bush administration - and massive [...]
Tell me again: why is Pres Obama looking racist?
Submitted by Stars Over Washington Blog
Here’s an article from Stars Over Washington’s Looks As If It’s True Department:

Strange Space Hand reaches for Dying Star

Here I sit wondering if you’ve seen this
NASA photo of a strange ’space hand’ reaching - or supporting - a dying star.
