Shouldn't the Osama kill focus be on Obama being able to get intelligence Bush couldn't and Romney wouldn't get from Pakistan?

I think this is a much more powerful argument than President Obama authorizing the move.

It is mentioned in the salon article (http://www.salon.com/...) that he pays 19% in voluntary tithe to the Mormon church.
But he just reported that he only pays approx 14% in taxes. Wouldn't this indicate that he feels more of a responsibility to the Mormon church than he does to the country that he is running for president of?

So apparently there is a Republican Presidential candidate who supports OWS whole-heartedly and wants to reinstitute Glass-Steagall. Also, won't accept more than $100 in donations from an individual.

Recently a 60 minutes video has made its debue discussing the legality of insider trading in Congress, or "soft corruption."

http://www.theatlantic.com/...

The interview originated from Peter Schweizer's book "Throw Them All Out." Today there have been demands for Spencer Bachus's resignation from both conservative and liberal blogs, including such extreme right-wing voices as Andrew Breitbart (whose site Schweizer blogs on).

It really irks me to hear Governor Jindal on my TV talking as if he is a change the deceptive practices of the Republican party. He rejected 100 million dollars of stimulus money that would have helped 21000 of Lousiana's unemployed and poor. His reasoning was he didn't want it to increase taxes on small businesses in the future.

Of course we find out that in this future he's talking about (presumably when the stimulus money is gone about 3 years down the road) he could of easily discontinued the unemployed benefits, and not had to tax his businesses.

Now here's the interesting part: Louisiana has the greatest wealth disparity out of all the states in the U.S.

What it means for us: taking a part in making things better.
Current sociological research shows that leaving society and the common man behind in our search of higher GDP is raising depression, divorces, higher income equality, and personal bankruptcy.
The American Hypermarket, 1950-2000, page 263
We need to take the mantle of our responsibility as individuals in our society in order to make it a place that nourishes us.

We need to better society on an individual level by supporting one another, volunteering, contributing to charity, or doing something that helps the growth and health of your community.

Barack Obama is not sending out this message casually, he knows that in order to actually make a difference in the quality of our lives we need to play direct roles in the health of our society.

If Obama wants Republicans on, he should stop cutting things we need to satisfy them, and instead pick things from their list of desires that are actually helpful and add them on.

After seeing today's manufactured Drudge poll, of Obama shirtless being rated lower than Putin shirtless; it really makes me wonder about what Drudge is really getting at.

UPDATE: I wrote this diary with the poll as a metaphor for the broader sociological problems that Drudge's (and people who act like him) attitude and conduct has.
I was attempting to make some serious observations

However as a side note, I would like to address the people who simply want to talk about who would win in a fight, Putin or Obama - I didn't even see that element in the poll in the first place, but since its been brought to my attention it is quite obvious that Obama would pull a Buddha-esque feat and completely dissolve Putins aggression with his awesome-like grasp of the true workings of reality, and the interactions of order to chaos. By the time the fight was over, Putin would have joined Obama's quest for true change, and spread compassion and hope all around the world.
