I'M FREE- I'm free, And freedom tastes of reality, I'm free-I'm free, AN' I'm waiting for you to follow me. If I told you what it takes to reach the highest high, You'd laugh and say 'nothing's that simple' But you've been told many times before Messiahs pointed to the door And no one had the guts to leave the temple! I'm free-I'm free And freedom tastes of reality I'm free-I'm free And I'm waiting for you to follow me. [Chorus:] How can we follow? How can we follow?

Obama has given you the framework. He's given you the vision === He should legalize all drugs and save us a few trillion from the wall st. bailout. We'll provide our own visions then. -g-

RB, i find it interesting you refuse to answer two questions. let's try again... 1. do you expect others to subsidize your personal health care expenditures? 2. did obama put any tax payer money at risk to help out the greedy wall street bankers? very simple. yes or no. you can do it! yes you can! your president is for transparency - so be transparent. stop hiding like ben bernanke and tim geithner.

Beer Goggle Vision ? >>>====>Obama has given you the framework. He's given you the vision. <=====<< Obama Breaks Promise on Transparency — AGAIN You may recall almost immediately after assuming the presidency Barack Obama boldly proclaimed, "Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency." These types of political proclamations usually mean very little. I recall Bill Clinton promised to run "the most ethical administration in the history of the country" when he took office. And we all know how that turned out. Former President Bush promised to give the Oval Office "a good scrubbing" when he ascended to the White House in 2001, and then proceeded to close the door on all investigations into Clinton corruption. So now that we're six months into the Obama presidency, how is Obama stacking up to his promises regarding government transparency? Not so good. A couple of weeks ago, I told you that the Obama administration refuses to release White House visitor logs, claiming the information is privileged and confidential. Earlier this year, Judicial Watch had to force the Obama administration to turn over documents related to the government "bailout" of our nation's financial institutions. In February, the Obama administration said it didn't have any documents at all. Pressure from Judicial Watch changed their minds, leading to the release of former Secretary Treasury Hank Paulson's talking points for an important bank "bailout" meeting, among other key documents. However, the administration has yet to release current Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's edited version of this blockbuster document. And now there is this according to The New York Times: During the presidential campaign, Barack Obama promised that once a bill was passed by Congress, the White House would post it online for five days before he signed it. "When there's a bill that ends up on my desk as president, you the public will have five days to look online and find out what's in it before I sign it, so that you know what your government's doing," Mr. Obama said as a candidate, telling voters he would make government more transparent and accountable. When he took office in January, his team added that in posting nonemergency bills, it would "allow the public to review and comment" before Mr. Obama signed them. Five months into his administration, Mr. Obama has signed two dozen bills, but he has almost never waited five days. judicialwatch.org
