Faramarz is already married to Dr. Mohandes.  For some reasons Dr. Mohandes has taken off with Vildemose. It is a very weird situation. You don't want to know.

MM, since you asked!

Soosan Khanoom likes to have many "beefcakes" around, and I am trying to be very discrete about my romantic life, as an emotionally vulnerable person!

Soosan Khanoom - Are you and Faramarz married?

If you are not married to each other, please hurry and do so before you two fall in love with each other!

And Our Candidate Won Triumphantly!

Haha..hoohoo..who's your daddy..

Haha ..hoohoo ... who's your daddy!

You got yourself arrested

You got yourself arrested outside the presidential debate this week. What was your goal in trying to get into Hofstra?

"We were simply trying to go in and take it as far as we could, to demand an open and inclusive debate. It’s about not accepting this mockery of our democracy. Right now we have this catch-22 that potentially limits voter choice to candidates sponsored by the deep pockets of Wall Street and the fossil fuel and health insurance industries, and all those usual suspects that are pushing us over the cliff. [Obama and Romney] are the only ones who are going to meet the criteria of the Commission on Presidential Debates, but we now know that the criteria are manufactured in order to limit participation."  Dr. Stein

I know ..my candidate lost. :(

She knew she won't win ... she just tried to at least get 5 percent of the votes so she will be having financial supports for 2016... I think she could not do it either.  

I am responsible for my vote and responsible for any actions that is going to be taken by the one whom my vote brings to power.   At least, I feel better now that I chose her over Obama and Romney.   We each only have one vote but somewhere in this vast universe even that  one tiny vote counts.. 

Faramarz

I was there in the protests when the cops hit her and she fell. :)

Just to let you know!

Your candidate Jill Stein failed miserably!

She did as well as Roseanne Barr who came in 5th!

salam and thank you ...

Yes, I agree

I agree Masud jan.... if Ron Paul had more airtime,

He would have won.  For sure he would have had many votes. I, however, think If he was a democrat he would have had better chance to win the entire thing with or without air time.  I personally know a few people who happened to be 100 percent behind Paul's foreign policy but were not happy with him being a Republican. Still, they were considering voting for him. As you know, the election is not just about the foreign policy, domestic policies are also important to the American people.   

Iraj Khan , many Americans voted Obama on 2008

because of " hope" but he threw the hope under the bus.  This time I voted for the Green Party candidate. A well educated and progressive woman but more importantly an independent one. 

But, now Obama is a president for the second term and since he is acting very cute lately (He cried yesterday thanking his campaign people), I am going to give " HOPE " another chance. I certainly wish he comes to his senses and starts to act independently.  As I said it before, since JFK, there has not been a single U.S president who acted independently.  

Juan Cole is a favorite blogger of mine. I check his " informed comments " daily. I also love his translational work on some Persian Poetry.  

Soosan khanoom,

I finally got a chance to read Juan Cole's

article expressing his hopes for the second term of President Obama's administration.

Thanks for posting it, keep hope alive : )

The article has many good

The article has many good points.  Thank you SK.

Also, in general as a woman I can never vote for the Republicans.  

How Interesting

I was talking to a friend before the election. He asked who will you vote for? I said the choices are Donkey and Elephant, I prefer a human.

You should have seen the presidential debates on PressTV. Half of the screen showed candidates talking about helping Afghans and Iraqis to achieve freedom and democracy and the other half of the screen showed the deaths and destruction by US and allies. It was ingenious. They also interviewed some of the best human rights activists and political analysts around the world.

Had Ron Paul bought some air times and broad casted Press TV version of presidential debates on CNN and other stations and played some of his statements in congress and elsewhere along with them, he could have won the election.  

On Obama

But first Alablo, I should say that I  am glad that you got the idea behind writing of this blog.  Thank you. 

Now on Obama's Presidency, 

I think he needs to move to where he should be and that is LEFT.... at the moment, he is too RIGHT and too WORNG.    

Posted on 11/07/2012 by Juan

President Obama’s reelection should mean more to progressives than simply dodging the bullet of a Romney presidency indebted to the Tea Party. Democratic politics has to be more than relief, while playing Russian Roulette, that this time we got the empty chamber. Progressives are a significant wing of the Democratic Party, and if we continue to be ignored, the party will ultimately falter.

Clearly, Obama does not have progressive instincts, and prefers to rule from the center. This impulse is wrong-headed, since the center didn’t man his campaign offices or make phone calls for him. Ruling from the center means taking his base for granted while reaching out to relatively conservative constituencies. This tactic is why we don’t have a single-payer health insurance plan. It is why Wall Street reform has consisted of half-measures. It is why we are imposing a financial blockade on Iran that could easily spiral into a war. When it comes to the arch-conservatives, for the most part, Obama has never learned to just say ‘no.’

It does not help that Obama will face virtually the same, obstructionist Tea Party House of Representatives that stymied him for the past two years. Instead of going to them and asking how he could make them happy, he has to threaten to make an all-out push to turn them out of office in 2014 if they continue to say ‘no’ to everything.

Progressives will have to push Obama to the left if we are to get what we want. This situation is nothing new– FDR’s New Deal would not have amounted to much if workers hadn’t engaged in widespread wildcat strikes and if people had not resorted to civil disobedience.

As for positive accomplishments, here are a few we should pressure him and Congress on:

1. We need the tax break for wind energy to be continued. Uncertainty here is deadly to the industry. And it is facing competition from cheap fracked natural gas (which is itself an environmental disaster every which way from Sunday). Wind energy could easily provide a quarter of all the electricity the US produces annually, and it is a way of slowing the rapidly rising average temperature of earth’s surface. Obama should deploy Republicans from high-wind states such as Iowa and Colorado to help make his case. It is to Obama’s credit that green energy doubled in the US from 3% to 6% during his first term. But 6% is almost nothing, with Portugal, Germany, Scotland and others being far more ambitious. Scotland wants to be 100% green by 2020.

Obama should emulate John F. Kennedy, Jr., and give a major address committing the the nation to try to go green in 8 years, just as Kennedy pledged to put us on the moon.

2. The Citizens United and other such rulings of the Supreme Court that allow dark money to dominate our elections needs to be undone by legislation. Corporations are not people, and Superpacs shouldn’t be buying our elections. Obama should start the work on a constitutional amendment that would permit actual campaign finance reform so that our elections look more like those of Western Europe and less like those of Pakistan.

3. Banking regulation still needs to be strengthened. There is nothing really in place that would prevent a repeat of the 2008 meltdown. Moreover, relief for homeowners under threat of losing their mortgages unfairly or arbitrarily needs to be pushed for again.

4. Obama needs to show leadership in pushing back against Koch Brother attempts to destroy public sector unions. Moreover, he needs to create a legal framework for the protection of the right to unionize in the private sector, a right that has been gutted by corporations such as Walmart. It was the unions that gave Mr. Obama Ohio, and if they are undermined during the next four years, they won’t be there to deliver the state again.

5. He needs to have the Department of Justice look into the Koch Brother-backed legislation in two dozen states restricting the franchise by requiring a paid-for state i.d., which is a kind of poll tax. In many states, this legislation violates the 1965 Voting Rights act. We can’t let a couple of sour billionaires undo the achievements of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., achievements for which he gave his life.

6. That use of the Department of Justice would perhaps make its workers and its head, Eric Holder, too busy to go around kicking down the doors of medical marijuana clinics and confiscating their computers, records and cash, in states where the state has legalized marijuana. Obama was elected the first time by the youth, and had promised to cease Federal harassment of pot clinics, but reneged and proved much worse than Bush on this issue. Holder should stop denying the clear medical uses and benefits of pot. In Colorado and Washington states, the same people who voted for him have legalized recreational marijuana. Moreover, the RAND Corp. concludes that legalization would defund the Mexican cartels. If the the Democratic Party continues on this Draconian path, it should not be surprised when it begins losing elections because a substantial younger constituency deserts it for the Green Party.

7. Obama put off further consideration of the PATRIOT Act until 2014. Several of its remaining provisions have been tagged by Senators Wyden and Udall as unconstitutional and pernicious because of the way law enforcement is interpreting them “secretly.” These unconstitutional provisions must be repealed altogether. Moreover, Obama needs to come clean about the extent of Federal violations of fourth amendment rights, warrantless surveillance of citizens, and the data mining of our emails and possibly their storage by the National Security Agency. As a victim of illegal White House/ CIA surveillance myself, I am furious that Obama has continued Bush-era abuses, and moreover that the Democratic Party has not so much as bothered to launch an investigation of my case.

8. The Bush tax cuts for the wealthy have to be allowed to lapse.

9. Obama must give up the fiction that a Department of Justice review of assassination targets is the same thing as a court trial that ends in an execution. The separation of powers is there in the constitution because King George III used to use the executive to declare people “outlaws” and have them killed on a whim, too. Maybe Obama and the national security state think they have invented something new. They haven’t. Targeted assassination by executive fiat has been around for a long time, and the Founding Fathers wanted it prohibited.

10. Obamacare has to be tweaked in the direction of a single payer system.

That is what I call progress.  I think we can get along.

Amir jan,

Thank you so much for the words of encouragement.

I also appreciate your presence and your support.  

: ) 

Iraj Khan,

Thank you for your presence and support.   : )

Susan Khanum I voted Obama

but I still agree with you. The two party system is not a real democracy.  If this goes on then U.S will be the same like Iran.  One sided and all predicted. 

Also, nice poetry.  I liked it.  

Well said , Iraj khan ...

By the way, if Jill Stein gets 5 percent of the votes then she will be qualified for 20 million federal aid for 1016 and can get more endorsement and publicity..  Sadly, I am not sure she can even get that much ... the two parties system which is actually two sides of one coin is becoming less democratic as the years pass by.    

Hopefully, this will be changed in the future, as enlightened and educated people of this country. especially the university professors and the collage kids, are going to change it for better....  and. all.  for the sake of Democracy.  

Also... Ron Paul has proven it to me once again that he is THE MAN.. As far as I know, as latest as this evening. he has not endorsed any of the two candidates... calling them both exactly the same ... basically what this blog is all about.. 

Thanks for taking your time and readingmy writings  ...

LOL ... Demo, That's a cool annimation !!

as much as the annimation makes me laugh the music, however, makes me cry ... but it is a nice song !

Thank You.
