WikiLeaks

I'm sorry I guess I'm just not a whore to "wiki" information. I've never visited WikiLeaks, so I'm only going off what the 'founder' says but I really don't have any concern about "American forces" not watching over the way Iraqi forces handle themselves. Iraq is not an American outpost, it is not a commonwealth of the United States and it really has no relevance in my life now unless you're discussing protecting the United States or an American Soldier, Airman, Marine or Sailor. I love this obsession the US has with "information" and trying to find dirt on someone or something. But it is seriously self-loathing to look for dirt against your own people when you're in a conflict. In my opinion. Should there be a degree of oversight to make sure that at a time of conflict "your" forces aren't abusive in their conduct?

National Foreclosure Freeze?

40-60 mpg regulations by the government for new vehicles?

What ever happened to relying on industry to carve the path, now we rely on the government. If consumers will buy a 35mpg car..then where does the government get off making money off of industry by sending in demands for higher fuel economy? More of the government telling us what to do I guess. Fun times ahead. http://content.usatoday.com/communities/driveon/post/2010/10/obamas-47---62-mpg-proposal-unveiled-lobbyists-scurry/1

Aww...Obama is mad at the media.

He was crying today about how the media gets rewarded for commenting on him. It is really funny considering he relied completely on the media/web to get him elected since he had and has zero track record of success for this country. And if you'd like to quote "healthcare" as a success, please define how...as companies currently cut healthcare to go on the government shelf because the bureaucrats have made it more expensive (see McDonald's dropping over 30,000 employees from plans in favor of the govt since costs went up 80% directly because of Obama).
