Obama has done some underhanded things since becoming president. One is no federal contracts for non Union? workers via executive order. Another is taking the census away from the department of commerce, the way things are going with him it's to perform a cheated census which will cheat for democrats benefit. There is the card check thing he is for which will allow Unions to intimidate those who don't pro Union. I know there are some other highly dishonest moves, I mean actual manipulation to give democrats an advantage, what can you add? Only what Obama has ALREADY DONE. Democrats out there, it's what he has done, and you know if Bush did anything like these things you would have been howling. Republicans, no forecasts please, only what has been done or attempted like this porkulus package that pays off democrat supporters in a way that is probably technically illegal. It's worse than anything Blago tried anyway. I'm an independent, and I actually thought of voting Obama for a while because I don't like McCain at all, but I just didn't vote in stead because Obama showed me something in the lies he was telling. I wish more of us had learned without having to be run over by the Obama train, to finally get it. Piggy Pie, YES, that is one more thing. I don't think the whole Gitmo thing was honest for an instant. Now his dishonest campaigning has us in a stupid pickle, because he has to back it up. I agree DC Maximus, there could be a lot of court challenges. The thing about democrats is that any democrat judge will probably support the democrat side, the only law most of them understand is party loyalty. Kinkade0003 true enough, there is a whole slew of underhanded crap in that bill, and anyone who votes for it should be over with any voters who's not a lunatic level democrat. Not a regular democrat with a brain, but the Moveon.nutbars. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/02/09/gop-sounds-alarm-obama-decision-census-white-house/ http://www.boston.com/news/politics/politicalintelligence/2009/02/obama_sends_lab.html http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/01/acorn_eligible_for_billions_fr.html

Should the ACCC investigate the Australian Federal Governments takeover of a regional hospital? The Federal Government has taken the unprecedented step of offering support for an individual Regional Hospital in a critical marginal election. We may not be as qualified as the Federal Treasurer, and his election campaign staff, but we can smell abuse of public funds as well as any reasonable man. It would take $200 mil AUD to provide decent housing, a job, education and healthcare for every indigenous man, woman and child in the Northern Territory, and the top end of Australia. Yet the government has opted to spend $600 mil on providing a contract for solar hot water heaters to manufacturing companies so that our well-fed children have hot water to wash their hands with after a piss. And a further $600 mil will be spent rennovating the Sydney Opera House. If that represents the epogy of Liberal Parth wisdom during a pre-election campaign, then perhaps it would be prudent to look for more down-to-earth leaders for our nation.

Can I sue a state or state actor in federal court if I filed the action in state court but was then removed? I sued: 1) my former employer, 2) the state of new york and 3) individuals who were acting on behalf of the state. My employer said I had raised some Constitutional issues. My employer made a "notice of removal" and had the case moved from New York State Court to Federal Court (US District Court). I have multiple causes of action including a Section 1983 action, breach of contract, tortious interference and I am asking for specific performance of my contract.

Why do you think so many people walk and look so awkward in business attire? Today I took my lunch break as usual but t his time I decided to eat at the mall in the food court. I work for the corporate office of a federal contracting company as well as all the surrounding business are as well and workers. It seemed as though for all of us to have to work in such professional atmospheres we would be accustomed to wearing dressy shoes (men), heels (ladies), slacks (unisex), blouses (ladies), dress shirts (men), suits (unisex), and act. Instead I noticed that a lot of the people either looked like they couldn't walk in the heels, was stiff as a board, couldn't maneuver in their suits, was either under dressed, or not very well groomed. I must admit although I always dress professionally I am always very clumsy in my heels (unbalanced), and tend to make a mess or stain my clothes? Why is this?
