my family was in a terrible accident a few years back. my father couldnt work and my mom was just starting her job and didnt make good pay. my dad went to the welfare office to try and get some money. My family was not allowed to get food stamps because we had two vehicles. one vehicle was a 15 year old minivan which my dad used to get to work (bluebook value 300 dollars) and my mom had a 5 year old minivan in which she used to take kids to school and go to work herself.(bluebook value 1500) so as my dad is standing in line trying to see if they could give him foodstamps. Loud bumping music was heard outside and a black person pulled up in a decked out new escalade with nice rims and stereo. The guy actually came out of his car walked to the front of the line and got some food stamps and left. my dad was furious. did he have a reason to be mad?

or to again bring home the fact that he will "veto" no matter what, and ESPECIALLY to reach the reluctant Republicans in the matter. .
(We keep in mind that it is Bush who is calling this meeting.)

Bush inviting Dems to meet about Iraq

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush on Tuesday invited Democrats to discuss their standoff over a war-spending bill, but he made clear he would not change his position opposing troop withdrawals.
The White House bluntly said the meeting would not be a negotiation. "It's time for them to get the job done, so I'm inviting congressional leaders from both parties - both political parties - to meet with me at the White House next week," Bush said in a speech to an American Legion audience in Fairfax, Va.

I just have the hardest time to imagine, what our freedom and our soldiers in Iraq have to do with each other. I felt actually felt better about my freedom, before Bush got into power. Maybe Clinton got sucked a little, but Bush sucks big time.

A lot of the questions here seem childish and shallow. I can search and I'll find some good, well thought out questions, but the answers are mostly just juvenile quips and jokes. I signed up hoping for something more and it is here to be found, but only if I'm willing to sift through a bunch of ridiculousness to find it.

For comparison,

President Bush gets US$400K

PM Tony Blair of UK gets US$370K



Is the US$2M for the Singapore Prime Minister excessive?

What does the CIA do to implement/ execute federal law?
Does it seem to have "quasi powers"? What do they do?

Eagle Bridge, NY — April 9, 2007 — Last week Speaker Nancy Pelosi traveled to Damascus to visit with Syrian President Bashar Assad. While there, she delivered a message that “Israel was ready to engage in peace talks” with Syria. The Israeli prime minister denied he had given Ms. Pelosi any such message. The United States has severed high-level contacts with Syria, and the White House strongly critized Pelosi’s visit.

The Assad family gained power during a coup in 1971. President Assad is suspected of supporting the terrorist groups Hazbollah, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad, and is widely credited with the murder of former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq al-Hariri in 2005. The U.N. is considering charges against Assad. On her visit, Speaker Pelosi declared: “We came in friendship, hope, and determined that the road to Damascus is a road to peace.”

Any American citizen, including members of Congress, may meet with foreign governments on fact finding missions. However, the Logan Act, passed in 1799, forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments under penalty of fines and up to three years in prison. The Supreme Court has stated: “Into the field of negotiation the Senate cannot intrude, and Congress itself is powerless to invade it.” House Foreign Affairs Chairman Tom Lantos declared: “We have an alternative Democratic foreign policy” and “this is only the beginning of our constructive dialogue with Syria.”
