With the highest death and casualty count, with the suicide blast in Kabul, yesterday, the Obama Administration held hours long behind closed doors meetings over Afghanistan. The outcome must have been to schedule a meeting to discuss the next meeting.
What is happening besides the continuing suicide attacks in Afghanistan:

"American soldiers serving in Afghanistan are depressed and deeply
disillusioned, according to the chaplains of two US battalions that
have spent nine months on the front line in the war against the Taleban.
Many feel that they are risking their lives — and that colleagues
have died — for a futile mission and an Afghan population that does
nothing to help them, the chaplains told The Times in their makeshift chapel on this fortress-like base in a dusty, brown valley southwest of Kabul.
“The many soldiers who come to see us have a sense of futility and
anger about being here. They are really in a state of depression and
despair and just want to get back to their families,” said Captain Jeff
Masengale, of the 10th Mountain Division’s 2-87 Infantry Battalion.
“They feel they are risking their lives for progress that’s hard to
discern,” said Captain Sam Rico, of the Division’s 4-25 Field Artillery
Battalion. “They are tired, strained, confused and just want to get
through.” The chaplains said that they were speaking out because the
men could not."
This dear reader - says it all in a nutshell:
"Sergeant Christopher Hughes, 37, from Detroit, has lost six
colleagues and survived two roadside bombs. Asked if the mission was
worthwhile, he replied: “If I knew exactly what the mission was,
probably so, but I don’t.”
The only soldiers who thought it was going well “work in an office,
not on the ground”. In his opinion “the whole country is going to s***”."
Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Durbin, Rangel....they don't give a (bleep) about our U.S. Military, it is so obvious. If they did care, our U.S. Service Personnel, would not be feeling this way, nor would their casualty count be so high. Going the conspiracy route, this very well may be intentional by Obama and Co. to bring the U.S. Military to the breaking point so Obama can get that 'Civilian Security Force' which will in the end, turn into 21st Century 'Brown Shirts'.
The U.S. Dollar, what you and I bust our butts for daily. What we are literally banking on for our future and our children's future, has been crumbling daily since the Democrats have taken 'control' of Congress and has plummeted even faster since Obama was foolishly voted into Office. Do you dear reader, who is taking action 'today' to prop up the U.S. Dollar? Asian banks.

"Asian central banks intervened heavily in the currency markets on
Thursday to stem the appreciation of their currencies against the US
dollar amid fears that their exports could be losing ground against
China."
This story posted one hour ago: It's currently 3:50 pm 100809. One hour ago dear reader, ABC Radio news reported that President Barack Obama, was playing basketball in the White House lawn. Two games worth. Guess he's not worried, concerned, or gives a rat's care about our troops, our Allies, our Dollar, your children, your life.
Seriously, wouldn't a person, who was in charge of the United States, who cared, being doing every conceivable thing with every very second of time, to stop all of these problems??!!! Not our current President, nope, he's playing basketball.....with members of CONGRESS!!!! Camera's it was reported, were not allowed. Hmmmm!! Wonder why.
Closer to home, with real Americana....I had three people come into the 'office' I work at to make payments. One lady, Caucasian, she split her payments so she could have gas money. One gentleman, African American, made a payment of one quarter of what he owe's and told me of his brother's construction group being undercut by 'Mexicans' by $40,000.00 on a $60,000 bid, so his brother and his workers lost that job. Next gentleman, also African American, lost his job, he can not find a new job, owes to fix his car, owes on just about everything. I wonder how many 3-point shots Obama made today.
