You're in Good Hands; Illegals in Jail Being Deported; Saddam Hussein Had WMD; ObamaCare Makes Discount Drugs for are Diseases Unworkable; Monsanto Making Sterile Seeds

The New York Post Writes: You’re in good hands,” the president informed the press corps, patting his predecessor on the back. And take off the president did.
It wasn’t an official, unofficial or illicit transfer of power in any way, of course. But it somehow felt like it.
What happened here has, to my knowledge, never happened. When the president finishes speaking, whenever the president finishes speaking, the event ends. Period.

President Obama can change the rules of etiquette governing his White House if he wants. The problem for him is that those rules of etiquette exist for a reason. They are intended to enforce the standing of the presidency itself. By breaching them, Obama did harm to his own standing, and at a time when he can ill afford to lose any more of his authority. [This is another example of what happens when an empty suit is elected to a high office.  It also demonstrates the validity of those who have written about the fact that Obama is just not engaged in his Presidency.  First he leaves an event to scoop dog doo-doo, and now he leaves because Michelle is waiting.]

Charleston County Post and Courier writes: County detention officers have flagged hundreds of illegal aliens for deportation since they began screening the immigration status of inmates this year as part of a federal program. Seventeen detention officers and supervisors at the county jail are authorized to enforce immigration law after completing four weeks of training by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials. That allows them to directly tap into Department of Homeland Security computers to screen foreign-born offenders arrested for state and local crimes. [Snip] If the program had been in place all year, that number likely would have approached 1,700 people, he said.  http://www.postandcourier.com/news/2010/dec/12/546-criminal-aliens-flagged/

The WikiLeaks de facto declassification of privileged material makes it case closed: Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction -- and intended to restart his program once the heat was off. (Snip) But WikiLeaks' newly-released Iraq war documents reveal that for years afterward, U.S. troops continued to find chemical weapons labs, encounter insurgent specialists in toxins and uncover weapons of mass destruction (emphasis added). ... Chemical weapons, especially, did not vanish from the Iraqi battlefield. Remnants of Saddam's toxic arsenal, largely destroyed after the Gulf War, remained. Jihadists, insurgents and foreign (possibly Iranian) agitators turned to these stockpiles during the   In 2008, our military shipped out of Iraq -- on 37 flights in 3,500 barrels -- what even The Associated Press called "the last major remnant of Saddam Hussein's nuclear program": 550 metric tons of the supposedly nonexistent yellowcake. The New York Sun editorialized: "The uranium issue is not a trivial one, because Iraq, sitting on vast oil reserves, has no peaceful need for nuclear power. ... To leave this nuclear material sitting around the Middle East in the hands of Saddam ... would have been too big a risk." http://townhall.com/columnists/LarryElder/2010/12/09/the_wikileaks_vindication_of_george_w_bush/page/full ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nancy Pelosi told us that we needed to pass the ObamaCare bill to find out what was in it, but apparently we needed to pass it to find out what wasn’t in it as well. Thanks to one of the 2800 pages that apparently no one in Congress read before voting on the bill, the new law has drug manufacturers canceling discounts to childrens’ hospitals that helped provide medicine to children suffering from rare diseases. The change will cost these hospitals hundreds of millions of dollars, and will almost certainly curtail access to critical care for children: http://amerpundit.com/2010/12/09/obamacare-cancels-discount-drug-deals-for-childrens-hospitals/-  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From Canada Free Press:   Monsanto, who does research world wide into altering crops and seeds,  now has mercenary,  armed and dangerous protection that can kill.  One of the many ‘food controlling’  efforts Monsanto is involved with is the creation of what is called a ‘terminator’ seed.  This is where they plant genetically modified crops that will not produce seeds to grow other plants and food.  This would force all farmers to contact Monsanto or other globally controlled ‘seed controllers’  to grow more crops.  Monsanto admits researching these ‘terminator seeds’  but not following through with it.  Funny how numerous other investigative sources say they are already well into this agenda worldwide.  Can you imagine the twisted vision of an Agribusiness company of any kind creating ‘suicide seeds’  known after a first year planting to self destruct and be sterile?  How would doing research on a large scale to destroy the viability of seeds do anything to help humanity and stop starvation?  It doesn’t.  In fact,  it does the exact opposite. Recently we saw a victory with S510 the Food Safety Modernization Act, voted down for now.  This would have allowed International groups like Monsanto to have controlled farming,  soil,  seeds and everything that farmers do.  http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/30919                                           [This bill passed in November in the Senate.  Read this report and worry...]   http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s111-510  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
