My fellow Americans:
support of me, despite my complete lack of any legislative achievement, my pastor's relations with Louis Farrakhan and Libyan dictator Moamar Quadafi, or my blatantly leftist voting record while I present myself as some sort of bi-partisan agent
of change. somehow qualifies me for the Presidency after 8 years of claiming Bush's youthful drinking disqualifies him. Your hypocrisy is a beacon of hope shining over a sea of political posing. lot of glamour behind the Kennedy name, even though JFK started the Vietnam War, his brother Robert illegally wiretapped Martin Luther King, Jr. and Teddy killed a female employee with whom he was having an extra marital affair and who was pregnant with his child. And I'm not going anywhere near the cousins, both literally and figuratively. And I'd like to thank Oprah Winfrey for her support. Her love of meaningless empty
platitudes will be the force that propels me to the White House. but because I make people feel good. Voting for me causes some white folk to feel relieved of their imagined, racist guilt. I say things that sound meaningful, but don't really mean anything because Americans are tired of things having meaning. If things have meaning, then that means you have to think about them.
heart. So when you go to vote in the primaries, remember don't think, just do. And do it for
me. ----------------------------- POI HANK IS PROUD TO BE AN INDEPENDENT WHO WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA NOR MCCAIN.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP)
-- 1010 WINS and CNN's Lou Dobbs isn't talking about rumors that
he's thinking about running for governor of New Jersey. Dobbs, who lives on a 300-acre farm in Sussex County, told The Star-Ledger of Newark he's ``not going to comment.'' State Republican chairman Tom Wilson tells the newspaper the Dobbs' buzz is circulating among GOP officials and fundraisers in New York City and Washington. Wilson says the first thing Dobbs should do is register as a Republican. The newsman switched from the GOP to an independent in 2006. Dobbs gained fame hosting "Moneyline" on CNN and the "Lou Dobbs Financial Report" on 1010 WINS. MORE AT http://www.1010wins.com:80/Dobbs--No-Comment-on-N-J--Governor-Run-Rumors/2356964 |

June 6, 2008 SOME COMMENTS AND OBSERVATIONS BY POI HANK ==================================== (Washington, DC) - Tom Feeney (R-Oviedo) today expressed his outright frustration with both parties .. -- SEE PRESS RELEASE FOLLOWING THIS SECTION. ------------------------------------------- More and more people are getting their heads out of the sand and acknowledging that both major political parties are working for themselves and their benefactors rather than for the people. For those who would like to see patriotism, just think about all the anti American deals going on in congress and the senate. Obama has taken a significant first step to getting congress to listen to us and not the lobbyists. I applaud him for directing the DNC to not accept campaign donations from lobbyists. In the past we have seen direction towards reform which had loop holes built in, so we should let the fishing line out and see if Obama follows through with the kind of reforms we all want, but those in congress do not. Hopeful as we are about Obama, (I still hold reservations) we have seen promises made in the past and then conveniently put aside when congress balks at carrying out reform . In the case of lobbyists, we have to contend with the academic theory that lobbyists have a constitutional right to support the candidate of their choice. I say that it is true, but they can do that through their own self paid adds and events. Let's hope, but be skeptical. -- hank June 6, 2008 at 9:50 am ======================== June 6, 2008 More Critical Infrastructure Up For Sale Foreign investors are again trying to buy up parts of this country’s critical infrastructure. The latest case involves the purchase of CSX railroad, which stretches 21,000 miles across 23 states, connecting 13 military bases, 70 ports shipping military equipment, and nuclear sites. The shadowy foreign hedge fund involved in the deal won’t even reveal its investors, which could include hostile countries. But it has a warm fuzzy name—the Children’s Investment Fund—so it couldn’t possibly be a national security threat, right? MORE AT http://loudobbs.tv.cnn.com/

June 5, 2008 President Bush Celebrates $100 Million Porker for Institute of Peace & Speaker Pelosi Passes Largest Tax Increase in American History Feeney Urges Both Parties to Get their Heads out of the Sand
(Washington, DC) - Tom Feeney (R-Oviedo) today expressed his outright frustration with both parties as President Bush attends a groundbreaking ceremony for a $100 million earmark for the U.S. Institute of Peace. This porker was slipped into a spending bill without a sponsor name and without debate. Meanwhile, Speaker Pelosi passed the largest tax increase in American history as hardworking middle-class families face pain at the pump. Floridians will face, on average, a $3,040 tax increase – at minimum.
"Leaders from both parties today once again proved how out of touch they are with hardworking middle-class families. As President Bush attends a ceremony for a $100 million porker for the Institute for Peace, American taxpayers are crying out for transparency in their government. As Speaker Pelosi passes the largest tax increase in American history, struggling families rebalance their budgets as they continue to face pain at the pump.
"Only in Washington would bureaucrats spend $100 million to build a ridiculous U.S. Institute of Peace and pass the largest tax increase in American history while Florida families are struggling. Both parties need to pull their heads out the sand and listen to the cries from hardworking Americans," said Feeney.
The $100 million earmark was included in 2004 in the omnibus spending bill. According to the website, the headquarters facility, "will consist of a training center for professional conflict managers, conference space for public and private meetings, office space for USIP staff, and the 20,000 square foot Public Education Center. The PEC will use state-of-the art multimedia exhibits and hands-on exercises to highlight the challenges of contemporary international conflict and techniques for their management by peaceful means."
The Democrats’ fiscally irresponsible budget includes a massive, broad-based, job-killing $683 billion tax increase. For instance, a family of four with two children that earns $50,000 annually would have to pay an additional $2,155 in taxes under the Democrat plan. This represents a 191 percent increase in that family’s tax bill. Additionally expect to see:
· The return of the marriage penalty, so that some married couples pay more taxes than if they had filed separately as singles; · Parents lose out, as the child tax credit is cut in half; · A dramatic reduction of tax incentives for small businesses; · And higher tax rates on seniors and working Americans investing for the future.
Investor’s Business Daily, 6/4/08: “Make no mistake: This tax hike is gargantuan. … On average, 116 million taxpayers will see a jump of $1,800 in their annual tax bill. Some 48 million married couples - the heart of the middle class that Democrats say they want to help - will be slapped with an average increase of $3,007. Even the elderly will take a hit - $2,181 on average. … Quite a week's work for one Congress.”

Americans Falling Behind on Utilities
Updated May 12th, 2008
As the current economic downturn worsens, more and
more middle class Americans simply can’t pay their
utility bills. In California, nearly 2 million

Pennsylvania’s delinquencies are up 30 percent.
Altogether, 15 million household now owe about $5
billion in unpaid utility bills. Utility companies

| .....“There has been a split within the party, I think, that has become pretty evident,” said Representative Joseph Crowley of New York, who has backed previous trade deals. He attributes deepening Democratic resistance to trade agreements to what he calls the “Dobbsian effect” named for the CNN broadcaster and trade critic Lou Dobbs. ... MORE AT

.....It’s a marked change for cable news, which over the last few years has followed the lead of Fox News and promoted vividly opinionated hosts who shape the news flow to suit their own personas and pet peeves. It’s also refreshing — the shift from Lou Dobbs talking about himself on CNN to Ms. Brown impersonally reciting the latest Pennsylvania poll results is a little like entering a cool forest glade after an hour on an unairconditioned subway car at rush hour. ....

| Lou Dobbs Tonight Monday, April 7, 2008 Tonight, we’ll have complete coverage of Clinton campaign chief Mark Penn’s departure following reports that he lobbied on behalf of the Colombian government for a free trade agreement that Clinton opposes. And President Bush was pushing that same trade agreement today. We’ll have the latest on this country’s faith-based trade policy. Plus: * The Bush administration has handed a victory to business special interest groups looking to hire cheap foreign labor instead of American workers. A new policy allows foreign students with a technology background to stay in the United States for up to 29 months rather than 12—greatly increasing the odds they will receive H-1B guest worker visas. * Critics of the communist Chinese regime continue to make their voices heard in protests along the Olympic torch route—pointing out the regime’s disregard for human rights in Tibet, its support for the Sudanese government responsible for Darfur and its oppression of free thought and expression in mainland China. We’ll have the details on protests in Paris, San Francisco and more. * The number of legal immigrants that became U.S. citizens last year dropped 17% due mainly to federal administrative problems. Last year the Citizenship and Immigration Service received a flood of citizenship applications ahead of a drastic fee increase and the agency simply does not have the resources to process the applications in a timely fashion. * Absolut Vodka ran an ad in Mexican publications showing a redrawn map of the Mexico incorporating Arizona, California, and other southern states. Absolut has pulled the ad in response to the criticism. We’ll have a report on the outrage over the ad. Lou’s new radio program, the Lou Dobbs Show, debuted last month.

| Lou Dobbs Tonight Thursday, April 3, 2008 The public and private players involved in JP Morgan Chase’s government-backed bailout of Bear Stearns were on Capitol Hill today. Skeptical lawmakers demanded answers about the necessity of using $30 billion of taxpayer money to bail out a failing bank while million of struggling homeowners are fighting the hard fight to keep their homes. We’ll have that story, plus: * The National Chamber of Commerce is appealing the Arizona law punishing employers who hire illegal aliens. Their claim: States have no business passing laws based on federal immigration law. We’ll have a full report. * A former software engineer in Chicago has been indicted for attempting to steal massive amounts of information from a major telecommunications company and pass the secrets to communist China. We’ll take a look at this latest case of Chinese espionage against the U.S. * Open-borders and amnesty groups are out in full force this week ahead of the May 1 protests that have historically been staged by masses of illegal aliens and their supporters.

| Lou Dobbs Tonight Wednesday, March 26, 2008 Tonight, we’ll have live coverage of the space shuttle landing scheduled for 7:05 p.m. ET. And we’ll have all the latest from the campaign trail, plus: * The same corporate interests who so viciously fought the Sarbanes-Oxley financial reforms after the last round corporate scandals are now decrying potential new regulation in the wake of the housing and credit market crises. Of course, if regulators had done their job in the first place and the banks and lenders were properly policed, the subprime crisis would never have happened. * The Washington DC police department is launching a campaign to get illegal handguns off the streets. Unlike programs in other cities that ask people to voluntarily turn in illegal guns, the DC police want to search peoples’ homes. They won’t kick down any doors but they will knock on the door and ask residents if they would like their home searched. The ACLU is opposing the campaign. * First the State Department got in trouble over contractors who illegally accessed the presidential candidates’ passport records. Now a former foreign service officer is saying that fully half of this nation’s illegal immigrant problem is connected to problems State’s visa operation. He says visas are issued after just 90 second interviews, and the department doesn’t enforce visa limits. Lou’s new radio program, the Lou Dobbs Show, debuted earlier this month.

We’ll have all the details, plus: * Nearly five months after a federal judge in San Francisco blocked the Department of Homeland Security’s no-match rule from taking effect, the federal agency is finally appealing the ruling. * We’ll take a look at China’s continued repression of the Tibetans and what the U.S. is doing to help put an end to the clashes with the Olympics quickly approaching. * Homeowners across the country are in desperate need of credit to help cover their shortfalls as they continue to feel the pinch of the mortgage meltdown.

| Lou Dobbs Tonight Thursday, March 20, 2008 Tonight, we’ll have the latest on the floods devastating sections of the Midwest and all the latest from the campaign trail. Plus: * America has always been the land of opportunity and education the great equalizer. But as the economic gap between the classes continues to grow and the cost of education soars, do those things still hold true? Academic experts and advisors to the front-running presidential candidates met today to discuss that issue as part of the Brookings Institution’s Economic Mobility project. * The deadline for high tech companies apply for H-1B visas is April 1st. The process has been a frenzy in recent years, and the Customs and Immigration Service is trying to crack down on companies gaming the system by submitting duplicate applications. * Private sector employment is tanking. Private employers cut 100,000 jobs in January alone. The only place that jobs are growing is in government. But the Bush administration hasn’t strayed from its “strong economy” talking points. * Is the economic downturn driving illegal immigrants out of this country? Border apprehensions of illegal immigrants are down; growth of remittances to Mexico has slowed; and anecdotal evidence suggests that some Mexican citizens living in the United States are returning home due to the weak economy and stricter enforcement efforts.

Lou Dobbs Tonight
Wednesday, March 19, 2008 President Bush said today that critics of the Iraq war no longer have any basis for claiming that the U.S. is not winning. We’ll have a closer look on the fifth anniversary of the wary. We’ll also have the latest from the campaign trail, and: * California, like many other states, is facing a massive budget shortfall. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s budget reform calls for slashing spending 10 percent across the board, including $4.8 billion in education cuts. A look tonight at how the federal government’s unwillingness to secure the border with Mexico has let illegal immigration put a drastic drain on California’s economy. * Conventional economic wisdom holds that war is a giant stimulus for the economy thanks to the billions of dollars spent in the defense industry. Yet five years into the war in Iraq, the U.S. is in recession. It doesn’t help that the U.S. has lost much of its industrial base and is sending defense projects overseas. * After dozens of injuries and deaths linked to the blood thinning drug Heparin, the Food and Drug Administration finally thinks it has a lead on what made the drug so dangerous.
