Berlin Wall commemoration...
From L: British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and German President Horst Koehler shelter from the rain under umbrellas as they make their way through the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, as part of the celebrations marking the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Where's the US Pres? He could go to Europe and beg for the Olympics, but can't go to Europe to commemorate the fall of the Berlin Wall - sends Hillary and a video instead...?
3rd Qtr 2009
It seems that the "bailout" didn't help GM or Chrysler. Still in the red for 3rd qtr. Ford posted a profit for 3rd qtr - but then they didn't take the gov't handout. Strange.
According to a Rasmussen poll a couple of days ago 50% of the respondents said they would not buy a car from a company that took the handout. Strange.

The Ten Commandments According to Obama
After observing Obama on the campaign trail and during his first ten months in office, we have concluded that our President lives and governs according to his own set of "Ten Commandments." They're certainly NOT the Ten Commandments you learned in Sunday School. In fact, many are the direct opposite!
---------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
I. Thou shalt have no God in America, except for me. For we are no longer a Christian nation and, after all, I am the chosen One. (And like God, I do not have a birth certificate.)
II. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, unless it is my face carved on Mt. Rushmore.
III. Thou shalt not utter my middle name in vain (or in public). Only I can say Barack Hussein Obama.
IV. Remember tax day, April 15th, to keep it holy.
V. Honour thy father and thy mother until they are too old and sick to care for. They will cost our public-funded health-care system too much money.
VI. Thou shalt not kill, unless you have an unwanted, unborn baby. For it would be an abomination to punish your daughter with a baby.
VII. Thou shalt not commit adultery if you are conservative or a Republican. Liberals and Democrats are hereby forgiven for all of their infidelity and immorality, but the careers of conservatives will be forever destroyed.
VIII. Thou shalt not steal, until you've been elected to public office. Only then is it acceptable to take money from hard-working, successful citizens and give it to those who do not work, illegal immigrants, or those who do not have the motivation to better their own lives.
IX. Thou shalt not discriminate against thy neighbor unless they are conservative, Caucasian, or Christian.
X. Thou shalt not covet because it is simply unnecessary. I will place such a heavy tax burden on those that have achieved the American Dream that, by the end of my term as President, nobody will have any wealth or material goods left for you to covet.
