You Think What?

We’ve noticed how the optimistic promises made about a year ago by, then, candidate Barack Obama, during the contentious presidential campaign, have not been kept by, now, President Barack Obama.

The staff at YouThinkWhat has patiently waited to see if our guy in DeeCee would stop his foolish attempts to be loved by all, and simply show some backbone, aka strength of courage, to do what needs doing for the good of the nation. This has not yet happened. (more…)

You may not have heard but the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (FDIC) is facing financial ruin. This is the corporation that insures your money, up to $250,000 at whatever banking company you have an account with that much money.

You may want to read this article about how the so-called financial experts are once again making banking business decisions that prove they are better at making shoes than they are at making money. (more…)

We are delighted to hear the news  internationally renowned film director Roman Polanski is reportedly, “in a fighting mood”.

Some may wonder why we are so outraged by the actions of prosecutors in California, members of the federal justice department and the department of state. These authorities are upholding a thoroughly abhorrent American tradition in law enforcement. The long arm of the law has a very long memory. It was not so long ago in the United States where a slave was a slave forever. Operating under the rule, “Once a slave, always a slave”, despite emancipation by an owner in one state, one could always be arrested and enslaved again in another jurisdiction. America has a tradition of turning likely productive citizens into fugitives.

The timing of this arrest of Polanski and the ensuing attempts to have him returned to the U.S. could not have come at a worse time. President Obama is trotting all over the globe attempting to improve our image among the world community, when some bonehead judge, assisted by an equally incompetent prosecutor, in flaky California, (more…)

We are delighted to hear the news internationally renowned American film director Roman Polanski is reportedly, “in a fighting mood”. Reports from Zurich indicate Polanski will not surrender to U.S. authorities’ demands to have him extradited from Switzerland to face California to prosecutors on a matter involving sex with an under aged girl in 1977. (See our previous comments about the case.)

We are incredulous! We absolutely can not believe it. Everything about this case is offensive.

After all the years of self-exile in France, Oscar winning film director, Roman Polanski has been kidnapped, detained, arrested in Zurich. Switzerland for extradition to the U.S. on charges associated with a crime that was adjudicated more than 30 years ago in California. (more…)

A message from Henry Gandolph, Editor-in-chief/Web Site Administrator /Publisher-YouThinkWhat:

Recently we published an article about a Volusia County, Florida community service organization,  Family Renew , celebrating its 20th anniversary of providing help to homeless families with children.

We said the economic policy that has brought us to having a need, all around the nation, for  charitable agencies, like Family Renew of Volusia County, is the result of decisions made by the Republican Reagan administration. It was during the presidency of the 41st POTUS, Ronald Reagan, that policies based on supply-side economics were implemented thus laying the foundation for today’s economic debacle as predicted by economic experts more than twenty years ago.

The tiny town, population approximately 2600, of Pierson, Florida; located in the northwestern part of Vousia County, has the distinction of being the “Fern Capital Of The World”. The town relies substantially on agriculture; essentially the main crop is ferns exported worldwide for use in flower arrangements and other decorative uses.

If you happen to be in Volusia County on Sunday morning around 10, on September 27, 2009, stop by the Unitarian Universalist Society of Daytona Beach in Ormond Beach to hear Betty Seibel speak about the Migrant Workers in the Pierson, Florida area. (more…)

One of our favorite satirists is Stephen Colbert of Comedy Central’s Colbert Report.

We’ve been loathe to address the controversy created because Jimmy Carter, a former President Of The United States, had the temerity to calmly , “tell it like it T-I-S!” in reference to the overwhelmingly ridiculous criticisms being received by President Barack Obama for everything (more…)

Bloomberg Poll recently released the opinion results of about 1000 American adults 18 years-old or older. The poll was conducted September 10 through 14; it has a margin of error of  plus-minus 3.1 percent.

When asked, a majority of these adults said they believe the tactics used by those who oppose the healthcare reform plan, as proposed by President Obama’s administration, are distortions being stated in order to frighten the public. Kind of like what was done last fall during the presidential campaign. (more…)
