While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Democratic (socialist/fascist) de facto President Obama (either a natural born subject of the United Kingdom enclave of Kenya, or a natural born resident of the republic of Hawaii) speaking at the National Archives, says that he will be detaining some inmates at the Guantanamo Naval Base Prison, in Cuba indefinitely, as the U.s. government cases against them lack sufficient evidence:

       We’re going to exhaust every avenue that we have to prosecute those at Guantanamo who pose a danger to our country.  But even when this process is complete, there may be a number of people who cannot be prosecuted for past crimes, in some cases because evidence may be tainted, but who nonetheless pose a threat to the security of the United States.

       The second GMAC bailout: Timothy F. “Turbo Tax” Geithner, secretary of the treasury, announces the purchase of 7,500,000,000 “dollars” in new issued preferred (paying guaranteed dividends, but having no voting rights) stock in the financially beleaguered General Mothers Acceptance Corporation.  This brings to almost 12,500,000,000 “dollars” in Federal aid that GMAC has received since the beginning of the Greatest Depression.

       NOTE: This is the further realization of plank number five of the “Communist Manifesto” by Karl Marx.
