HI, Don
I watched the entire press conference. He did not say anything.
nothing specific about anything. Tell me anything you heard that he is
going to do, please.
Interesting on how different people hear and see different things.
I don't what you expected after a first meeting of Obama's economic team.
Perhaps you think a miracle is going to solve the economic crisis overnight?
That's naive.
I heard Obama say that there's not much he can do now, as Bush is still
calling the shots, but he outlined his priorities come inauguration. I heard
him clearly say that we needed another comprehensive economic stimulus
action, and that establishing a scenario that will result in new jobs was
essential.
In contrast, Bush's plan seems to be to buy $700 billion of worthless paper
from the banks so they don't suffer losses from the housing implosion.
I am incredibly impressed by Obama's economic team. I doubt that a more
qualified group of economic giants has been assembled before.

Hi, Ed
We all know he are not President yet, why do you mention this?
He called the press conference, If you are going to have a press
conference, and you are going to talk about a st emulous package,
What is the stemulous that you indent to have or do? Just to say you
are going to have a package does not tell us anything.
You do not have to be President to say what you indent to do! That is
what I can taking about having a press conference.
Nice talking with you,
thanks, robert |

Villaraigosa (AKA Tony Villar) spent the afternoon in a Century
| Quote: | City bathroom in Watts Tower dedicating waterless urinals.
I used to have an itinerary of his whereabouts, but cannot find it,
but still looking. It was shameful......hardly any time in his office;
spending time running to any photo ops he can manage; travels for
pleasure at taxpayers expense; had a cute little affair with a news
reporter covering him for her paper while married and his wife had
throat cancer; marched with the illegal aliens beginning with their
first march when they carried Mexican flags demanding equal benefits
and entitlements as American citizens; cheered them and encouraged
illegals from the podiums at the marches; he supports illegal
immigration; Villaraigosa was the only California politician who dared
to join in the 1996 March on Washington that demanded amnesty for
illegal aliens; LOS ANGELES — Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Assembly
Speaker Fabian Nunez are among those expected to join immigrant-rights
activists Thursday for a march and rally to denounce the actions of
Los Angeles riot police at a May Day rally at MacArthur Park
culminating with Villaraigosa stating that MacArthur Park was a safe
place to be 24/7.
With complains running rampant because of his absence from duties of
being Mayor, he told Hillary during her campaign he would knock on
doors for her as long as it took and his time was all hers.
After UCLA, Villaraigosa attended the People's College of Law (PCL), a
"community-run law school" in Los Angeles, which is unaccredited
through the State Bar.[7] Villaraigosa failed the California Bar Exam
in each of four attempts, and thus remains unlicensed to practice law
Los Angeles, Alta California - June 16, 2008 - (ACN) Los Angeles Mayor
Antonio Villaraigosa signed an agreement during his trip to Israel
that greatly endangers the security of all Angelenos and of travellers
who utilize the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The agreement
signed on Friday will allow right-wing Israeli Likud Party operatives
complete access to all areas of the LAX under the pretext of making
"expert" periodic reviews of anti-terrorist measures at the world's
fifth busiest airport. The agreement also calls for city taxpayers to
pay three Israelis $1000.00 each per day plus all travel, lodging and
other expenses while making "security" inspections at the LAX.
ACORN rent-A-mob demands more welfare housing in L.A.
The vote fraud factory known as ACORN (Association of Community
Organizations for Reform Now) is apparently supporting Los Angeles
mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's crazy push for $5 billion in so-called
affordable housing...
And last, but not least, "Born to Raise Hell” – at UCLA
Antonio Villaraigosa, ( Tony Villara) one-time juvenile delinquent
still tattooed with the slogan “Born to Raise Hell,” entered the UCLA
campus as a transfer student from East Los Angeles Community College
in 1972. Known then simply as Tony Villar, he would not successfully
graduate by the time he left in 1975.(1) But Villar did leave a wide
swath of influence in other, more radical ways.
While on campus, Villar joined the UCLA chapter of Movimiento
Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA), and was part of its leadership
by 1974. MEChA had only been founded as a regional movement in 1969,
and in many ways, the UCLA chapter, and the radical Chicano student
left today, is a direct product of Villar’s work then.
Fellow MEChA alumni from the period remember Villaraigosa’s exploits
well:
"He was one of the guys that would go out there and start the slogans
because he was the loudest one," said Arturo Chavez, a fellow activist
in college. "He was one of the people who would make sure people were
riled up."
Chavez underemphasizes what young Tony Villar did on the UCLA campus.
Archives from the campus newspaper The Daily Bruin of 1974 have
revealed that Villar led a campaign to ensure an advisory role in the
UCLA Chicano Studies Center for a communist Chicano community group,
and successfully engineered the dismissal of the Chicano director of
the Center who stood in the way of this goal.
As first reported May 9, 1974, a group of approximately 50 Chicano
students (out of the 1,500 with Hispanic surnames on campus at that
time) called on the Chicano Studies Center Director Rudolfo ‘Rudy’
Alvarez to resign from his post. Villar accused Alvarez of “trying to
alter the concept behind Chicano studies.” The article paraphrased
Villar’s further accusation “that the center has drifted away from its
initial direction of research conducted in conjunction with the
community.”
After the protest by the group of students, the Bruin further
reported:
“When CSC staff members arrived at the center Monday morning, they
found locks inside and out of the offices jammed with toothpicks and
matches, file cabinets also jammed, and the mouthpieces of the phones
removed. It is not known who was responsible or whether this was
connected to the demonstration Friday. Leaders of the demonstration
deny any knowledge of the incident.”
Not content with petty vandalism, Villar’s group engineered, with the
cooperation of a like-minded staff, a shut-down of the Center with the
stated threat that it would not to end until Alvarez resigned.
But it is the article from June 25, 1974 that explains the real roots
of the controversy and shows the true agenda that belied Villar’s
posturing about Alvarez’s supposed “lack of leadership and
incapability as an administrator
The Daily Bruin on that date reported that “Chicano students are
considering filing a class action suit against Rodolfo Alvarez,
Chicano Studies Center (CSC) director, according to student leader
Raoul Garcia.
“Students criticized Alvarez’ mishandling of the Steering Committee in
1973. “Where at one time the Steering Committee composed of students,
faculty, and community people was the policy making body of the
Center, now Rudy is its sole dictator,” said Tony Villar, another
leader in the movement against Alvarez.
“Both Villar and Garcia attacked the Alvarez-directed CSC for working
only with government-sponsored drug programs “instead of community
organizations like the National Committee to Free Los Tres.””
The “National Committee to Free Los Tres,” it must be understood, was
a Los Angeles group created by former MEChistas to defend three
members of the militant Chicano organization Casa Carnalismo who were
convicted of assaulting a federal narcotics officer posing as a drug
dealer in East Los Angeles. Even more telling about this “community
organization” that Villar favored is that by 1974, a Marxist-Leninist
faction emerged within the NCFLT seeking to deemphasize the social-
service aspect of the organization, and hoping to transform its parent
group Casa Carnalismo into a "revolutionary vanguard" dedicated to the
"liberation of the Mexican people."(5) In a direct and unmistakable
way, Villar was advocating for nothing less than a Communist place at
the table within UCLA’s Chicano Studies Center.
The Bruin ended the story with a final quote from Villar:
“As Chicanos going to University they’re demanding relevant education
that they have some input into.”
The term “relevant education” is Orwellian code used by minority
political activists to describe their vision of a network of non-
academic interests that both feed from, and direct, the university.
The ideal network includes, but is not limited to, labor unions,
minority racial affiliation groups, and members of the public taking
direct action to aggregate political power. Stripping away Villar’s
self-justification about ‘relevant education,’ it becomes clear that
the fight was a proxy power grab by militant Chicano organizations.
Their goal: to turn an academic unit at a proud university into a mere
ideological factory to support and undergird a drive for exclusive
minority power accumulation.
Villar was ultimately successful in his fight for his vision for a
relevant education. On July 19, 1974, the Daily Bruin announced in a
brief notice that Professor Alvarez had resigned from his directorship
following internal private deliberations with higher administration
figures.
Villar’s goals, and the actions which made it possible, are
instructive in understanding the man who desires to be the next mayor
of Los Angeles. Not only did Villar himself harbor radical ambitions,
he proved willing to destroy both an innocent man and a fellow Chicano
by turning his staff, his students, and eventually, his employer,
against him.
Santa Barbara, Calif. -- While Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has
called for increases in the sales tax and cuts in services to reduce
the budget deficit of $11.2 billion, a population group has noted that
the shortfall is about the same as the costs of illegal immigration to

"Barack Wants You, Unless You Did 63 Bad Things
Posted Nov 13th 2008 9:41AM by TMZ Staff
There's a questionnaire circulating from Barack Obama's peeps that
everyone gets if they're up for a Presidential appointment. The short
story -- Obama wants all the skeletons out on the table before he
nominates anyone.
There are 63 questions prospective nominees must answer. Barack wants
to know if the person has sent embarrassing emails, whether that
person has been accused of sexual harassment, late in paying child or
spousal support. He always wants to know about arrests, and, of
course, those pesky housekeepers."
Click to read questionnaire.
http://www.tmz.com/2008/11/13/barack-wants-you-unless-you-did-63-bad-things/2
[this questionnaire is mentioned on several cable and Internet
sources]
......................................................................................................................................................................
I call attention to #61 on the questionnaire:
61) Have you had any association with any person, group or business
venture that could be used – even unfairly – to impugn or attack your
character and qualitifications for government service?
If this questionnaire from the Obama camp is for real, I prefer to
ignore the obvious comment and refer to the President-Elect's choice
of Mayor Villaraigosa to be on his financial transistion team as "any
association" described in Question #61. I understand the standards of
being on the financial transistion team are lower than being in
Government service, but still.......[see my post above re
Villaraigosa's background}
That said, I hope a questionnaire requiring such perfection does not
discourage good people from seeking a Presidential appointment
