Obama Shrugged

By Kathy Malloy

Did you miss the Iraq war protest Saturday (March 19) in DC? Or the Bradley Manning demonstration at Quantico Sunday (March20)? Watch the videos below. Protesters were arrested on both Saturday and Sunday, among them Daniel Elsberg, Mike Malloy, Ann Wright, and many others.

What say you, Truthseekers -- are certain members of Congress (including Dennis Kucinich) correct in their anger over President Obama's authorization of the attack on Libya without prior Congressional approval? And is this action any worse than Raisin Brain's use of trumped-up reports and unverified third-hand reports from "8 ball" (Curve Ball) about alleged WMD's and yellow cake uranium as justification to invade Iraq?

Seems that Obama is following in Bush's footsteps, all too ready to shrug his shoulders and shift the burden to the American people; to spill our blood and treasure in order to open another theater in the never-ending, unwinnable terror wars. Meet the new war, same as the old war. It's only 72-hours old and we're already suffering casualties.

So much is going on, it's dizzying. An analysis of Japan's nuclear crisis is a grim reminder of how close we are to a similar disaster in America. Democrats gain a strange ally in the Teabagger's war on Planned Parenthood as US Senator Scott Brown (Mass.) jumped ship and joined fellow Republican Senators Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Susan Collins (Maine) in supporting the program.

Minnesota wildman Gov. Tim Pawlenty throws his straight jacket, er, hat into the ring to become a GOP presidential contender in 2012. And today we get word that Senator Rand Paul, who's been in office barely three months, is sticking his toe in the presidential waters.

Protesters were arrested on both Saturday and Sunday, among them Daniel Elsberg, Mike Malloy, former Army Colonel Ann Wright, and many others. Many thanks to Tara of Republican Dirty Tricks for these videos, and for all she does!

Authors Bio:
Kathy never expected a career in radio as a talk show producer. Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Kathy was completing her nursing degree when in 2001 - in an emergency - she was asked to fill in as the producer of Mike's program. Within a few weeks she knew she'd found more than a temporary job. Since that beginning, Kathy has steadily grown more comfortable behind the control console, editing, engineering, and assisting in topic selection for the program while also retaining a fairly sizeable chunk of her sanity. Oh, and did we mention the utter (joyful) chaos of raising a daughter who, for some odd reason, only stops talking when she's asleep. Strange, that.



A life-long "talk radio junkie," Kathy takes her job with all the seriousness required, and thoroughly enjoys producing a talk show that's intelligent, factual, informative, and most of all entertaining. She takes great pride in -- and has great fun with -- the two biggest joys in her life: Their daughter Molly, and producing one of the most dynamic talk programs in radio.
