Booyah! W. Cheered at July 4th Rallies
It brings a smile to this American's heart to see that former President George W. Bush received massive applause during July 4th celebrations. In addition, he said something very poignant:
"Patriotism comes in all different kinds of forms," he said. "Freedom is beautiful, freedom is precious, freedom must always be defended."
Pretty good for a guy that many said was "too dumb" to be President.
I have this funny feeling that over the next several years, Bush will get more and more appreciation. By 2012, there might even be some that is open in public. Bush was and is a stand-up guy and when the world needed American leadership, he was there. Good for him and good for the people of Oklahoma.
And of course, after the event Bush stayed around to sign autographs and shake hands. He is one of the most decent people we've ever had in the White House.

Obama Calls Tea Parties 'Idiotic'
James Rivera
New York Examiner
July 5, 2009
WASHINGTON- A classified memo written by the President, in which he instructs Press Secretary Robert Gibbs on how to address questions concerning so called Tea Parties, has been leaked to the public.
The document, dated April 13, details President Obama's instructions on how Gibbs should respond to questions asked by reporters. In it, the President tells Gibbs to downplay the importance of "social events that are aimed at undermining [the President's] plan to fix the economy."
President Obama also instructs Gibbs to "not answer any questions regarding these gatherings directly," writing that they are "idiotic" in their aims to curb government spending.
This leak comes at a time when the President has been criticized by Republicans for being too wasteful in his spending and agenda.
"Once again, the President has shown that he is utterly out of touch with the American public," said Joseph Barton, a representative of Texas's 6th Congressional District. "Doesn't he understand that people are sick and tired of unending taxes? Apparently not."
The Administration defended the memo, stating that its release was "unintentional," but that it is how the President characterizes "unnecessary criticism." Robert Gibbs also released a statement, writing that he does "not understand the uproar about something that the majority of Americans agree with anyway."
The President has not released a direct statement to the press, but one is expected in the coming days.

Israel moves closer to striking Iran.
According to the London Times, an unfamiliar quiet alliance has taken place, the Nation of Israel with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Israel is planning to launch an offensive against Iran's nuclear program soon, and they need to travel above Saudi airspace in order to reach Iran. It appears Israel has been meeting with Saudi officials so Israel can travel in Saudi airspace, without complications from the Saudi government.
The Saudis have responded : they will turn a blind eye to the event, and according to sources "The Saudis have tacitly agreed to the Israeli air force flying through their airspace on a mission which is supposed to be in the common interests of both Israel and Saudi Arabia".
If this report is accurate, this could mean the long needed strike on Iran could take place sooner then anyone thought, considering the brutality of the current dictatorship in Iran towards its own people, Israel must be scared to death of what they would attempt against a Nation they literally want destroyed off of the earth. It is about time Israel stand up against Iranian threats, I take this as great news.
One question : Israel is standing up to tyrants. Honduras is standing up to tyrants. Iranian protesters have stood up to tyrants. America 233 years ago stood up to tyrants for Freedom. Will America once again stand against tyrants? And stand with Israel................

July 4th Tea party USA - Attendance reports. PART 2.
Last night, I did a brief summary one some available numbers from the July 4th tea party movement, about 14,000 attendees in just 8 events, - http://jumpinginpools.blogspot.com/2009/07/july-4th-tea-party-usa-attendance.html
Today we have more numbers, so lets get to them (this list is incomplete) :
3,000 in Reno, Nevada.
500 in Norwich, Connecticut.
2,000 in Washington, D.C.
Estimated 15,000 in Fresno, California.
1,500 - 2,000 in Bismark, North Dakota.
200+ in Quincy, Massachusetts.
2,000 in Morristown, New Jersey.
500 in Bloomington, Indiana.
250 in Bemidji, Minnesota.
500 in Beaufort, South Carolina.
40,000 counted thus far (attendance from post last night & this post). Keep in mind, I am attempting to round up information from as many tea party protests as possible, thus far I have counted just 18 protests across the Nation, when over 1,000 took place across the Nation on this Independence Day.
I will continue to search for more information regarding the protests, I have a feeling we will probably reach 250,000 - to 300,000 attendees in total, considering July 4th is one of the largest travel days & days to spend with family, that would be amazing.
