Wall Street financial firms reportedly received 18 million dollars in bonuses for 2008, this after the Government bailed them out. They took tax payer money after many of us have been laid off, or as some of you are still working, but faced to take a week off without pay, and receive no bonuses to boot. What give them the right to take our money and spend it on bonuses when we have to cut back on food and other amenities just in order to make it?
I guess as usually, they think they are priveledged and entitled to the good life, while the rest of us struggle to make it on our own with no health insurance, living on severance pay, and on the brink of being homeless. Think about it. Make phone calls to your congress person, your senator. President Obama called all of these bandits out on this today. Now the American people should do the same.

There is much applause from Senate colleagues concerning the with and decisive action that President Obama took in naming the two special envoy. It finally puts the focus on the middle East and Pakistan and the Afghanistan regions that has quite frankly, been lacking in both regions. The Gitmo Issue continues to be a significant issues. All prisoners there will be reviewed their status and released in their home country. The 60 that have been picked for prosecution will be prosecuted in the United States.
Many believe that the evidence has been tainted because of how the Bush administration handled their detention. This means that a new evidence tree must be built to retry the individuals. This strategy was not used at all doing the Bush administration. It would in effect, not be a problem today if the Bush administration did not approach the detainment in an incorrect way.
The tone and strategy was completely different in that President Obama actually expressed humanitarian relief to the Palestinian people. He also expressed unwavering support for Israel. This is a definite break from approaches used in this region by previous Presidents.
