Just know, somewhere in every picture of this mob are brave MI-5 or Special Branch agents keeping an eye on these punks (them and every CCTV in London :-)

I'm so glad so many young people want to share their toys with others. I just don't know why they don't willing give their pay checks to the poor, why wait for the government to give it away for you.

Our future:

These protesters have protested for an end to unnecessary wars and making world hunger a priority. I can't argue with that and I say if young people are going to protest peacefully I'm glad they are politically active. There are a lot worse things kids are getting into these days. Marching against hunger and war seems like a better alternative.

Getreal,

What planet do you live on? War and world hunger? Peaceful, young people. Check out picture 10, yea those peaceful, young people protesting war and world hunger. RIGHT! Maybe in your commie world.

@Rhonda: I'm not a commie. I live in the world where we read the newspaper and read books. I have been following the G20 protest for years and was in Reykjavík weeks after the G20 summit on the first leg of my european vacation that year and the streets were abuzz with the idea of ending world hunger. Perhaps you should get off your couch and not judge an entire issue on 10 pictures on Jossip.com. I know you won't it easier to do nothing productive or positive and wallow in anger like a pig in filth. I prefer to concentrate on activism, volunteerism and being a good christian citizen this DEMOCRATIC country. But hey troll around here telling people to eat feces as is your habit based on how unhappy and angry your posts sound it seems to be working out pretty well for you.

so you really are one of the community organizers followers? Well if you think walking around with signs and busting windows as activism and being a citizen of the world will end wars and hunger in the world, your not as smart as I thought you were. As the good Christian that you are you know of course, the poor will be with you always.

@Rhonda: I would never bust a window that's not activism of course you wouldn't know that because you don't care about anyone but yourself not even the ideals and values this country was founded on. It is not walking around with sign either. Being a good christian means you have a responsibility to try to make things better for your fellow man and it has nothing to do with vandalism or walking. I understand that someone like you will simply not understand that because you whole message is insult and divide. I feel sorry for you that you actually think breaking a window is activism you must know nothing about the history of this country that you claim to love. Pathetic.

Obama took 500 people and 12 telepromters with him to Europe. He gave the Queen of England an I-pod. You have to laugh, this is getting freaking crazy!

@Rhonda: And they love him in England and the british public and newspapers daily make fun of people like you.The idea that a world leader would make an important speech without a prepared speech makes no sense to the European press who have been lambasting right wingers for weeks over the issue. We had a present who prepared his speeches ahead of time and almost ALWAYS used a TelePrompTer his name was Ronald Reagan. Most world leaders use a Teleprompter only an idiot would think he could "wing it" when talking to all of America and all of the Free world.Get used to it we have a detailed oriented President now who won't answer a question until he knows the answer and actually clutch the pearls PREPARES for his press conferences. Why does that bother you so much? Oh and like most of your posts information he did not show up with 500 people that is a lie. But people have proved today that you are a liar so I guess you are being consistent.

I think your starting to repeat yourself, word or word. Yes, he did take 500 people, 4 speechwriters and 12 telepromters, Yes he gave the Queen of England an I-pod loaded with HIS speeches. YES, HE DID! We can all see how wow'd they are in Europe, not exactly his last trip. His approval rating is now at 49, zogby.

@Rhonda: I repeat myself because the truth is the truth. You are a liar and every time you are called out on a bogus fact you just stop using you never back it up with facts because you can't. As per usual that approval rating is a lie too. You are a liar and a fraud Rhonda another poster pointed it out you just make stuff up and if pressed for any proof you disappear or change your "facts"

According to a national CBS conducted a week ago his approval rating is above 60% This poll is extensive and covered a huge number of people in all states and parties.You are a liar Rhonda.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....78453.html

@getreal: You are an imposter and a fraud with a sense of entitlement that is evident even online. I have a feeling your mother spends a LOT of time crying.

none of you actually know one another, yet you're slinging around personal accusations about the others character… I suggest you all take a big step back and realize there are better things to do with your time than pick fights on a blog.
sheesh.

@shut.it.: You'd be surprised what we've learned about one another over the course of these postings. Just because you dropped in doesn't mean we all just got here.

good morning, guys

@Rhonda: Good Morning, Glory.

@Rhonda:

"Yes he gave the Queen of England an I-pod loaded with HIS speeches. YES, HE DID!"

During their private meeting, President Obama and the first Lady gave the queen a personalized iPod with video footage of her 2007 visit to Washington and Virginia. She was also given a rare songbook signed by composer Richard Rodgers.

@getreal: "only an idiot would think he could "wing it" when talking to all of America and all of the Free world."

So according to your logic, I guess all world leaders before telepromters were all idiots?? Churchill, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, JFK?? Get real getreal, Obama can't zip up his fly without being prompted.

The europeans masses who love him as a pre-packaged, scripted, empty-suited, facade, are Simpletons (or as the euros call them the hooligan masses)

B-T-W, at Reykjavík when Reagan looked Gorbachev square in the eye and told him "Neyt" there was no teleprompter. Reagan ended the cold war, Obama will bring it back.

Weezy, the I-pod was loaded with Obama's speeches, that's the first I've heard of the Richard Rodgers Songbook. The Queen is a Rodgers and Hammerstein fan? Did not know that, seems strange but I know your sources are Wikipedia and the Daily Kos and we all know they don't lie.

Obama took 500 people, 4 speechwriters, 12 telepromters to Europe with him. He gave the Queen of England, an I-pod loaded with HIS speeches. 500 people! 12 telepromters!

@Rhonda:

now rhonda, i proudly visit daily kos so there's no sense in hurling it at me like an insult. i don't consider it one. you know how i feel about your rush/hannity/beck sources so i don't think you have the higher ground here. WE ALL KNOW THEY DON'T LIE.

everything i have read says he brought her a video ipod of her last visit and NONE mention it was loaded with his speeches. i assume that was your slanderous touch (thru your 'sources').

the rare songbook was a nice gesture i think. on par with the slaveship pen holder and thought was taken in choosing it.

the Queen has given the President a silver framed photograph of herself and her husband. the official picture is what she gives all visiting dignitaries. wouldn't you love it if the Obama's simply gave a photo of themselves?

as far as the tired teleprompter bit, apparently you don't watch obama's town hall meetings, Q & A sessions or any other thing he's done that hasn't been filtered thru the FOXNEWS lens. the man knows how to speak and does just fine off the cuff, but if you want to hold tight to your belief that he's reliant on the teleprompter more than past presidents,do what you must to feel better.

from the guardian.co.uk:

The First Visitors brought a gift for the Queen that managed to combine thoughtfulness, modernity and a dash of history: an iPod loaded with video footage of her 2007 visit to Virginia. The Queen repayed the compliment with a very personal present of her own - a signed portrait of herself and Prince Philip.

They must have forgotten to add that it was filled with Obama's speeches–you should write and correct them.

Where was this moral outage when our last President abandoned the war against Osama bin Laden and Al Queda (you know the people who MURDERED thousands of innocent American citizens) to fight an unwinable 200 year old tribal war. The war in Iraq is the most expensive war in history has crippled our country and our military just so Black water and other company that have proven ties with the Republican parties could get bidless contracts. This war in Iraq trying to build the infrastructure of people who hate us while ours crumbles and Osama bin Laden continues to live free. We were lied to to get into this war now we have almost 5000 kids dead and over 30,000 permanently maimed. And you idiots are mad about a TelePrompTer? Scott Mcclellan the Presidents own spokesperson for 5 years in the White House a lifetime conservative republican was told to lie and scare the American people they knew they were giving us a line of BS. If we could have poured the TRILLION (that is how much this war has cost) we have wasted on the war in Iraq we would have Osama bin Laden now. I am learning that a few of the radical voices on this site just say a lot of this stuff for attention. If they were real patriots they would be angry about us spending 30 million on the police of Iraq while we are cutting police funding in our own cities. I'm going to be angry about important things. Keep being mad about microphones and sound equipment while our countries kids die in this war and feel good about your priorities

Some of the posts on this site are hilarious! Both Kennedy and Roosevelt spent extensive time preparing their historic speeches. Reagan read off a TelePrompTer so did Bush at times go to see some of his speeches on youtube. Let us not forget there was a national uproar when Presidential addresses starting being broadcast on TV now we back at these people as silly alarmists. Do the research there has not been a President that has not used a TelePrompTer in 30 years. The fact is the conservatives are so desperate to find something incriminating and this is the best they can get. He prepares his speeches…AHEAD of time oh the horror! LOL. I'm not even going to debate this TelePrompTer issue if this hicks don't know EVERY world leader uses a TelePrompTer even Reagan and so did Bush go to youtube and watch all their speeches you can SEE they were at least sometimes using teleprompters.

what about 500 people, 4 speechwriters and 12 telepromters

a bit much don't you think?

Oh I forgot to put Scott Mcclellan wrote a book about the fact that was often told to lie and that is why he left the administration.

And for the hicks out there who don't understand the significance of the ipod back hundreds of years visiting dignitaries brought an item that was their countries most recent invention. It it meant to be symbolic. The first Chinese dignitary brought tea to england. Sir Walter Raliegh brought tobacco from the new world. This over 600 year old tradition to present the monarch of England with a modern gadget or invention from your country is a wonderful practice. The fact that this seems to escape some of the people on here cracks me up. Maybe some of you should have paid attention during history class or better yet gone to college. The things some people choose to be mad about. They laughed and said "they deserved it" when people died in Katrina (Rhonda) but they are beside themselves with anger at the kind of sound equipment the President uses. How do these people sleep at night?

Getreal,

that's horrible, I never laughed and said people deserved to die in Katrina.

the last thing invented in America was the I-pod?

Bam, had some thoughts how you could make your "gift" useful for all humanity.

500 people, 4 speechwriters and twelve telepromters, a bit much don't you think?

@getreal: 434 words in your last post and not one coherent thought. The maniacal rantings of a 99.6er. Just can't seem to get yourself unglued from the past.

I have a tiny little secret for you getreal, THERE IS NOT A DAMN THING YOUR RANTINGS AND RAVINGS WILL DO TO UNDO THE PAST. SO QUIT ACTING LIKE A SPOILED LITTLE BRAT WHO DID NOT GET ENOUGH ATTENTION AS A CHILD A START DEALING WITH THE PRESENT! *&^%$!!

There I feel better. Whew, now I need a cold shower. 0) 0) 0)

@DONT TREAD ON ME: Look if you want to be angry about the Presidents sound equipment instead of the 4500 innocent kids who are dying some as young as 18 years old and continue to die and the 30,000 permanently maimed (legless,armless, blind, and burned) based on a lie. If you want to joke about the fact that kids continue to die that's your soul it's really not my problem. So have all the temper tantrums you want about sound equipment while the rest of us will worry about important things. God bless you.

@getreal: Just got out of the shower and back to the snivelings of the 99.6er.

As the typical modus operandi of the clueless you assume everything. I am not angry about sound equipment, you assumed.

I made no jokes about maimed and dead people, you assumed. I think you are the only one spending sleepless nights worrying about what you assume.

As with your neophyte brethren you are shameless hypocrites. Always throwing all fault on Americans while ignoring the carnage of the terrorists who started this who thing. What are the stats on deaths and maiming by the terrorists, genius?

Maybe you are an Islamic terrorist?? That can be the only justification of your myopic views.

BTW, why no vitriol against Jobama Biden? Aren’t they escalating the war in Afghanistan? Is it going to be a bomb-less, bullet-less war?

Get Real, get a brain!

DTOM - I'm not angry, just exposng the hypocrisy of the clueless 99.6ers

@DONT TREAD ON ME: Well see Osama bin Laden and Al Queda are in Afghanistan so since they are the ones who attacked and murdered our citizens yes we should be attacking the people who attacked us.

It is funny when you realize you are chatting with someone who doesn't even know the difference between Iraq and Afghanistan. One of the countries lodged the worst terror attack in America history (Afghanistan) so it is good for our country to attack those who attack us. We need to concentrate our efforts on getting Osama bin Laden and the people who are trying to attack our country not creating police forces and infrastructure in countries that hate us and are killing our troops. Unless you are completely irrational that should make sense.

@getreal: Why should we attack the people of Afghanistan because Osama is there? Shouldn't the CIA have some operatives who could do what the CIA was created to do, and find Osama, thereby negating the need to attack the entire population?

I'm glad our government is going full force against Al-Queda and Osama bin Ladin who are in Afghanistan. They attacked our country, murdered our citizens so we declared war on them.

@getreal: Again, you ignored the point. Why attack the entire country when Osama could be sussed out in a more clandestine and appropriate manner, and save thousands of lives in the process?

@bam-a-lam: No I am ignoring you after all the childish insults on the other thread. I'm interested in debating politics and don't have any interest in dialoguing with you. Your sole reason to be here is to insult people and be rude. I have never read an interesting or intelligent post from you. Yet you always pathetically post at me for attention. Since all your desperate attempts at getting my attention just end in you having tantrums and being rude I'll just skip it from now on. Go pick a fight with someone else I'm simply not interested.

@getreal: Quit with the rhetoric and answer the questions. You want to "debate," but you have no substantiative evidence other than rhetoric that you profess to be fact.

ONE MORE TIME. What are the stats of the dead, maimed and wounded of the terrorists, who started this whole thing?? I can name 2,749.

When you spin away from the truth, you are a reprobate.

Put up or shut up!

DTOM

@DONT TREAD ON ME: Is GetReal unreal or what? It's like talking to a lamp post.

I personally don't think that any POTUS (Obama, Bush) should be kissing the ass of the Saudi king who is harboring most of the terrorists. There is a good chance that Saudi Arabia has harbored bin Ladin, or at the very least soldiers in his organization. UNacceptable. Bombing the F out of a country that is mostly rubble now isn't going to do anything. It's a nasty fight over there.

@getreal: LOL!!

@bam-a-lam: A mind is a terrible thing to waste. I think getreal has been living in a cave. Complete out of touch with reality.

I shutter to think, I start teaching a new class on Tuesday where about half the students will be lamposts. ARRGHH!

Good news, I will be able to turn the light on with about 3/4 of the lamposts.

DTOM

Getreal has her own corporation! Her Dad went to harvard is a lawyer at the Pentagon. Aren't we all impressed!

@Jen: I have an interesting story for you. Many years ago (in the 1960s), my father-in-law knew Bin Laden's father while my father-in-law was working for Saudi Air in Jiddah. He said the senior Bin Laden was a decent, honorable and giving person, but always talked in anguish about his spoiled son Osama.

Some fruit falls from the tree because of rot!

@Rhonda: I think getreal may be feeling a little punch drunk from being punk-slapped too many times on these threads.

@DONT TREAD ON ME: That is very interesting. We often try to find a reason "why" for evil actions and sometimes it's just because people are born that way. Simple as that. I would really love to find out the money trail on Al-Qaeda though, unfortunately, we will probably never know.

@DONT TREAD ON ME: Not punch drunk just have learned not to waste my time on the site dialoguing with people too blinded by partisanship to observe basic rules of patriotism and good conduct.

Wow someone sounds jealous. Sorry you have a night job at a factory.

@getreal: I will give you credit, you are civil and do stay above the fray of the four-letter-word spewing neophytes. But when pointing the finger of partisanship, rmember there are usually three fingers pointing back.

Everyone has bias and is part and parcel to an ideal. Some just show it more than others and some sink to level of moronic rantings as evidence of some of the hit and run bloggers that run around here. Not you though. While I still think you have a myopic view of issues, that's only my personal opinion. You proabbly think the same of me.

@Jen: The Bin Laden family's wealth came from construction of refineries and infrastructure throughout the Arab Middle east. Osama never worked for daddy, but inherited gazillions after his father died.

As long as the oil is controlled by OPEC the money will flow into Al Qaeda. Take the oil away and Islamic terrorism will wither and die on the vine. Think about it!

@DONT TREAD ON ME: I knew he had inherited money, but I figured that the well may have run dry over the years.

Our dependence on OPEC oil is disgusting, this is such a sad state we let our country get in.

@DONT TREAD ON ME: It is certainly something to consider. I sincerely hope I don't have bias my political views are based on my values as I have no doubt yours are. Since we really have had very few discussions it would be impossible for me to call your views myopic. That being said although I don't agree with what you have posted I still find it interested to debate people who have diametrically opposing views. What I don't find interesting is dialoguing with people whose views are almost beside the point and are simply used as an excuse to insult and incite.

@getreal: "What I don't find interesting is dialoguing with people whose views are almost beside the point and are simply used as an excuse to insult and incite." - We agree on that point.

I think one can categorize those types as the ones who skipped more classes (to kill off a few billion brain cells drinking beers and smoking pot) than they attended.

Taking a few jabs sometimes is the only way to chase them off. For me it helps to vent my frustrations with the stupidity of those people. (the 99.6ers)

DTOM -

Rhonda,

The majority of the protestors in Europe were peaceful. The media just focus on the bad to deter people from protesting/make it look wrong.

FUCK THE MAN!

Yea, they look like a darling group of Marxist!
