Why are we shipping aid to Kenya????

Call me dumb, but the ship that was taken by pirates was carrying food to Kenya, I am all for helping starving children but how about we start with our own country? I had high hopes that that Obama would be more moderate......
There are a few posters on here that when they get backed into a corner, they just blame Bush. Well it will not be long and that dog won't hunt anymore, Obama is killing me!
I have a handfull of cows I calve out and a couple hundred acres tilable land here in MN. But I make my living in Alaska, Mr Obama said he was going to drill in the U.S. then why has he yanked over half of the federal oil leases? My other job is guide and flying for hunters and fisherman. Now I hear there are going to be some new national parks, What is that gonna do to my guiding????For those of you who voted for this man I hope you get what you wanted, enjoy the next 3 and a half years because the people are catching on. And do not blame Bush for this, lets look to the future and fix some things. Shawn

Shawn, do you think operating loans for the Ag. sector are going to become a problem?

We keep hearing from this adminstration that they keep giving $$ to these banks and credit still is not flowing?

As a matter of fact, I have been banking at the same bank since I was 15 yrs old and am now 40. I have known my banker since 1st grade, have not had an overdraft or been late on a payment ever! Yesterday I had to give information on every detail of bussiness, personal, and family life. tax returns for 2 years etc. That is the first time that I have had to do that. Also she said she would let me know next week.....I asked, let me know what? And her reply was if you are going to get your loan! :?
So Time will tell. I am not, and will not do bussiness with anyone who took bailout money! I will not have to change banks as Bremer denied the money, but I will be buying Ford pickups from now on. I guarantee it!! Shawn

Glad to see they are making you prove you deserve the loan. That was the way it should have been done all along.

Thanks Shawn, I really hadn't thought about it until...

Believe it or not, I first heard of these future credit problems for the ag. sector through a report based on Russian intelligence, trying to equate it to the same type of issues in the 1930's.

How interesting because I was just thinking that hypocrit might be a foreign mole, posting to cause disgruntlement and dissent and bring down the US government. He posts non-stop from -- he says -- Canada about how terrible the US and its government is and he cites Russian intelligence articles (well the same one over and over).

And remember that the lawyer who is being hysterical about Obama's citizenship is also a Russian.

Do not think it is far fetched for instigators to be using the Internet to sow seeds of dissent among the gullible, so I hope someone knows hypocrit in person and can vouch for him.

Are they correct or not? The truth is the truth, no matter who says it or why they say it.

Caught me. Does this mean I have to move back to Siberia?

I guess it doesn't really take that long from here, just catch one of those big TU-95's that they're always trying to chase away from Canada.

And the KGB told me that a bunch of ranchers would never find me out! Were they ever wrong.

Those ranchers saw right through the plan of infiltrating and brainwashing them into thinking that the things they have enjoyed all their lives might be taken away by Comrade Obama.

Here's your proof, if you look real close, you can see me waving goodbye to my family, from the co-pilot seat. Oh yes, don't be fooled, I'm a trained Cosmonaut too.

What do you mean deserve the loan?? It is not a bailout, @ 6% interest they will be making several thousand profit. It is bussiness, not a treat for doing a good deed! If you meant trustworthy for them to loan money to me then Yes I agree. :D Shawn

You and I are very similar - I live in one country and work in several others - all to make it go at home - where the hell is MY BAIL OUT?

More places than what you mention get money and food and aid.

The ones that bug my aqss?

Look at the countries that presently have a space program, modern navy, huge army, new air force, nuke weapons programs and so on.

Pakistan, India, China.

They get money, aid and preferential treatment on a regular basis.

What the hell for?

So they can screw us over?

And smile while they take our money at the same time.

They can spend some of thier own money and support their own people.

We could do some "home" work for a change

Perhaps "deserve" was not exactly the best word but then again, you must prove you are deserving of their trust. Depositers have entrusted their money to them so only fair the qualify you. Bet you passed with flying colors as well. :wink:

But even so, we are not homeless or starving or illiterate. If there are no jobs in your area, move.

Most of the people on Ranchers work at home, remember. They are growing food for you!

If they are going broke, we are in further trouble! :shock: :shock:

It's okay to spend billions in Iraq but not to bring food to starving people in Kenya?

In the meanwhile you all want bailouts while you sit on your computers on your Internet line and whine. :roll: :roll: You live in two of the greatest countries in the world with opportunity so obvious that millions try to immigrate to the U.S. and Canada to make a living.

Reminds me of the same welfare mentality that you complain about. While Central American immigrants are snapping up all the contracting jobs around here, a bunch of native born citizens fail to seize this opportunity and complain about their plight.

I can understand retirees being disgruntled because we are at the end of our earning potential and our retirement funds just disappeared. I can understand the young people trying to enter a terrible job market being disgruntled.

But even so, we are not homeless or starving or illiterate. If there are no jobs in your area, move.

What, it should all be handed to you on a silver platter?

in reading your post...you've just described Liberals...aren't you one? :???: "Obama's gonna pay my mortgage and put gas in my car" and its a little hard for farmers/ranchers to move to look for a new job :?

Sorry it took me so long to reply, I just finished a 14 hour shift hauling gravel. I guess that would be my 4th job! There you go blaming bush again !! I do not want a bailout as a matter of fact you as a liberal can take your free money, your change and your new president and stick it in your...... mailbox and return to sender!! I am tired of the bleeding heart save mankind dipsticks! Like I said I have no problem feeding hungry kids, just feed hungry Americans first. that is all i said< So go back reread the first post and then make an intellegent post. By the way what do you do for a living?? :roll: :roll:

I worked 80 hour weeks until recently thank you very much. Now I only work 40+ hour weeks but then I'll be 60 years old shortly and my children are grown and on their own.

My point was that even now when times are bad, we are not talking about children dying of starvation in large numbers due to drought as they are in Kenya right now. I have no problem with helping Americans out first but I thought it showed a lack of understanding of how bad off some other countries are on your part.

I am sorry that you are struggling and I don't wish you ill. Good luck.

You would get a lot more for your money if you would just donate to "Feed the Children".

Note to Reader, when you ship this aid to Kenya, make sure you send along the American Navy, the pirates seem to like stealing it.

Or arm the ships, but that would prove guns protect against criminals, wouldn't want to do that!
