WSJ: May 19, 2009: Central Intelligence Agency Director Leon Panetta suggested that comments like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's recent critiques of the CIA could be detrimental to American national security, echoing criticisms of his fellow California Democrat launched in recent days by Republicans.
Mr. Panetta, a former congressman and cabinet member under President Bill Clinton, said in remarks to a foreign-policy group in Los Angeles that partisanship in Washington is as bad as he has seen in his decades in public office. When politicians in both parties "start to use these issues as political clubs to beat each other up with, then that's when we not only pay a price, but this country pays a price," he said.
Karl Loren: The image of President Obama, above, shows the person THIRD IN LINE TO TAKE OVER THE PRESIDENCY, Mrs. Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, certainly one of the most powerful persons in the world, now dashed, just as General Motors has only a few more days before its bankruptcy is confirmed.
That GM bankruptcy could be avoided IF Obama shows his true colors, takes over GM, "for the good of the nation," pumps in enough money to float this losing enterprise, support the unconscionable wages, pensions and health care paid to union members, and sticks the cost of all this to the taxpayer in a few years with sky-rocketing tax rate increases. Governor: Arnold Schwarzenegger was sitting in the front of the crowd when Obama made these pledges, suggesting that "California is too big to fail," and there is relief on the horizon from the infinite resources of the US Treasury.
VP Joseph Biden Birthdate: November 20, 1942, making him 65 now. My mother died in 1981 of an aneurysm. I know about them.
The news that SHOULD wake you up, on May 19, 2009, was that the US has been deliberately manipulated into a fascist state, with Obama as dictator and big business the willing partner. The latest proof:
What Obama’s clean-car plan will cost consumers and teetering US automakers
News Source: By 2016, a new car will pollute less and get more than 35 miles per gallon, but its sticker price will be at least $600 higher.
President Obama’s plan for tighter limits on vehicle emissions promises to be a boon for the environment and for the cause of US energy independence, but it comes at a cost for struggling automakers and consumers.
It could add $600 or more to the price of a new car at a time when recession-bound shoppers are already reluctant to buy.
It demands new investments from automotive manufacturers that are in or near bankruptcy.
The White House vigorously defends the plan’s virtues, but some auto industry analysts say the plan’s timing and economics are challenging. What Mr. Obama proposes is a historic boost in environmental standards – including the first-ever direct curbs on greenhouse-gas emissions for US cars – during a historically deep recession.
“It’s going to be very expensive for consumers and manufacturers,” says Rebecca Lindland, who tracks the industry for the consulting firm IHS Global Insight in Lexington, Mass. Although surveys show public support for curbing auto emissions, “consumers haven’t shown a willingness to pay for it,” she says.
Karl: Is there any way a truly independent auto Industry would so obediently agree with the new rules, as they did this morning 9 AM, Tuesday, May 19, 2009? The news is that Obama got prior agreement from the UAW and the Auto Industry to NOT object to his announcement of the new rules. It is the consumer who pays for fascism, not only in loss of freedom, but with the very taxes that seal his doom. The above news source was published some hours before it was also announced that Big Business and Big Labor (both now controlled by Obama) have agreed! Later, it was common knowledge that a dozen of the Big Auto Matkers, and the Head of the UAW, all stood on stage and endorsed this Obama push. The clever Obama had rounded up all his extortion victims in advance of that meeting, and in advance of the advance-publicity. Obama sprang THAT surprise at the end of the Rose Garden Caper:
Source: WSJ, May 20, 2009: Mr. Obama's fleet-mileage partners yesterday included the two auto companies that have fallen into his arms, Chrysler and GM, still-independent Ford, the major foreign manufacturers, United Auto Workers chief Ron Gettelfinger, and beaming representatives from the Sierra Club, Environmental Defense Fund and the Union of Concerned Scientists.
Source: WSJ, May 21, 2009: WASHINGTON -- The Treasury Department is poised to inject more than $7 billion into GMAC LLC, the first installment of a new government aid package that could reach $14 billion, according to people familiar with the matter.
As a result of the move, the government within months could end up owning both GMAC and General Motors Corp. The GM plan being devised by President Barack Obama's auto task force calls for the government to emerge with a majority stake. And the increasing infusion of taxpayer money into GMAC could turn the U.S. government into a majority shareholder there.
The GMAC injection is designed to firm up the auto-financing company's battered balance sheet and allow it to continue making loans for car purchases at GM and Chrysler LLC. The Treasury already put $5 billion into GMAC in December.
The GMAC funding is an illustration of how rapidly the government effort to rescue the U.S. auto industry is escalating in cost and scope. What began as an emergency batch of loans to GM, Chrysler and GMAC in December -- totaling just over $20 billion -- now looks likely to balloon well beyond $50 billion and could approach $100 billion by the end of the year.
Karl Note: I don't know where the Obama team is going to find all these billions of new money other than printing it. We have trillions of debt and prospective debt that will have a hard time finding lenders. The last resort is printing the paper and spreading the wealth as the "free money" Obama is so famous for. That's called inflation and there is no other possibility in our future.
In the formation of a Fascist Form of Government, Big Business, under extortion threats from the would-be dictator, and support from a dumbed-down populace, caves in and accepts their unholy alliance with the Dictator, and if they continually support the Dictator, as German Industry supported Hitler, the industrialists make money, send the money in gold out of the country and prepare to leave when the Dictator is assassinated or gets too nasty. The International Bankers in Germany used a Bank exposed in my Book at "Hitler's" Bank, and about which one of my sources wrote the text in green below. The entire story is in Part One of my Book, now available for free download.
HITLER’S BANK GOES GLOBAL
A towering citadel housing what is essentially a sovereign state known as the Bank for International Settlements is located in Basel, Switzerland. The bank now controls the financial affairs of planet Earth.
WSJ: May 19, 2009: WASHINGTON -- The House Democratic leadership's climate bill would double to $50 billion a previously authorized loan program designed to help auto makers comply with strict new fuel-economy standards.
That provision was tucked into the latest version of landmark climate legislation unveiled this week by the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The provision would authorize the Energy Department to provide an additional $25 billion in low-cost loans beyond what current law permits under a program designed to help auto makers retool to build more-efficient vehicles. Funding would have to be approved in a separate step.
News Item Source: As he approaches the end of his sixth term as a U.S. senator from Delaware, Joe Biden certainly lends experience to Barack Obama's presidential campaign.But is the 65-year-old Democratic vice presidential nominee-to-be physically fit to be "a heartbeat away"?One medical expert says yes, despite his increased risk for suffering an aneurysm. Biden underwent surgery in 1988 to repair two berry aneurysms on opposite sides of his brain. (A berry aneurysm gets its name because the bulge it creates is so small it looks like a tiny blueberry.)As long as Biden is checked regularly by his health care providers, and has regular brain CT scans (at least every 1-2 years), he should have a normal life expectancy, Dr. Michael Marin, chief of surgery at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City, told FOXNews.com.“He is probably on medication, but not for the aneurysms. Maybe for blood pressure or that kind of thing,” Marin said. “These aneurysms were diagnosed before he had any events, so he is fine.”An aneurysm is an enlargement of a normal artery. If an artery has a bulge on its surface – due to genetics or a medical condition such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure – and the artery wall becomes stretched, it can rupture.
However, the causes of berry aneurysms, which are similar to other types of aneurysms, aren't well known, Marin said.

President Obama has laid out the most ambitious and expensive domestic agenda since LBJ, and now all he has to do is figure out how to pay for it. 
As the Obama Mess grew, Karl realized that there were others, certainly including Ron Paul and Rush Limbaugh who had CURENT news that was so compelling, that Karl decided to step back a bit, observe carefully and then decide what to do.
As the Obama mess grew worse and worse, Karl realized that the time had come for him to write a Book about Economics and about the Bailout Programs and all the other mess in the Obama Team.
That Book is mostly finished, now numbering some 600+ pages.
Then Karl was invited to attend the 50th reunion of his graduating MBA Class of 1959, at the Harvard Business School, attending his first meeting there on May 28th, in the home of the retired Dean of the Harvard Business School, John McArthur. John happened to be in the same small Section (Section C) with Karl for the two years they were both going through the MBA course. While they did not become close friends, Karl knew all the 120 people in his Section C, for the two years that they all attended the Harvard Business School together.
Many from that 1959 Class are no longer living, but those who are include many very famous business and political leaders.
Karl's Book is now ready for excerpts to be released.
ONE excerpt is 113 pages, consisting of "Part One" of the Five Parts of the main book. There are other pages, not included in these Main Parts, so they all add up to well over 600 pages.
