Really, his children ending up fatherless would only mean one thing; his death. President Obama has had death threats in many forms however, I don't believe that these concerns have been strictly handled. President Obama is not a Caucasian and because of this he has been utterly disrespected and handled with a great deal of disdain. The disrespect and a threat to his life should be handled as an act of terrorism. This Kansas lawmaker should now be a Kansas unemployment office worker or janitor, since he feels so entitled and has enough gall to publicly call for our President's death.  View

Wasn't the closing of Gitmo a big part of the Obama campaign in 08? I understand that him alone could not shut it down but it seems like this issue has flown under the radar and people haven forgotten about. Also, this place continues to hang under an intense cloud of suspicion and no one will probably ever know whether or not it was effective in preventing terrorism.  View

Ron Paul is right, wow he seems to the sane voice here. Listen to what he said about terrorism. The man is correct, be a shining example of democracy and other countries will want to change themselves without us invading other countries. Ron Paul has my vote.  View

Obama shouldn't take the blame for the failure of an economic system so deeply flawed that the current state of events was not only inevitable but necessary... but he will. It's a shame because his programs worked to avert what would have been a much biggest problem. He also has performed splendidly with respect to terrorism, hunting down and taking out our enemies around the world- I mean, het got Osama! That's amazing. It's a shame that he'll receive no credit for his many accomplishments.  View

I'm glad we can thwart terrorism with breast implants.  View

So if someone with the same name as you has ever been suspected of terrorism, you can't get on a plane? Awesome.  View

I agree with Jake that this sounds very dangerous. Isn't the plane likely to damage NYC or kill many people anyways? It's nice to know they are trying to protect against terrorism, but It doesn't seem like this is a safe solution.  View

Government is a tool of the rich and multinational corporations. Government is a broker of the working mans tax dollars to private interests and to the interests of the ruling class. Democracy is undermined in the world because the ignorant masses have allowed all the work of previous generations be slowly broken down. Live in fear of losing your job, in fear of terrorism, in fear of a bleaker future. Democrat or republican. There is no difference in the big picture. The cycle of class war continues and the ignorant masses are losing.  View

I was standing in the middle of a soy bean field laying out a new subdivision. It was extremely weird to not see one single plane in the sky after two hours. Which in northern Illinois just doesn't happen. The biggest waste in the last decade has been the freedoms and rights we have all lost. In that respect Bin Laden succeeded. Flying is no longer enjoyable due to the government thugs (TSA). We have endured a decade of fear mongering, and excessive spending, which led to excessive fraud, and an unbelievable deficit. Not to mention a crippled economy. While we have been preoccupied with terrorism, china has gained on us by leaps and bounds. Sad but true. God bless all that have given their lives in the call of duty. Thank you to our military, fire fighters, and law enforcement.  View

Our world in case you haven't noticed, is dying from global warming, caused by burning oil, coal, and yes, nuclear energy too. Look around you, no where is safe anymore, yet all we care about are stock prices, instead of being rightfully terrified by the silent demons of terrorism, namely, our crude addiction to these monster forms of energy. Don't believe one, not one so called expert who tries to tell you solar is too cost prohibitive. Really? I spoke to an actual VP of Chase Manhatten (He was let's just say slathered, and told me point blank: "What do you think? Banks are stupid? (No, just not wise) Solar only produces 1% profit." We all know the outrageous profits from the three brothers of doom- Oil, Coal and Deadly Nuclear Fallout. Get it? w  View
