O'Malley Postpones Middle East Trip

[ybnormal]

"Not wanting to be a distraction from the urgent cause of peace, I look forward to visiting Israel in the months ahead with Maryland business, research and academic leaders," O'Malley said.

What a pompous ***. Like the Israelis and Palestinians would even know the jerk was there. Not to mention, after raising every tax possible he could think of in Maryland to "help balance the budget", the lame duck governor travels the world in the interest of "economic development? I thought Maryland was broke Marty?

Who votes for these crooks? Oh right, never mind, let's keep the gravy train rolling.

Another taxpayer financed vacation.

[octoburn]

Owe'Malley does it again!

What better time to go to the Middle East to drum up economic opportunities for Maryland businesses and to have a taxpayer~financed vacation than during an escalating war situation and potential expansion into a ground war?

The real purpose of this visit was obviously meant to deflect from his winning everything he pushed for during this past election thanks to the votes of his illegal "New Americans."

Owe'Malley = Total Failure.

Ha to build his resume in foreign affairs. I wonder who is payin for it and why does a governor from MD need to go to the Middle East.

He'll bring half their populations back with him to.

We need to hire the people who built the Gaza security fence to come to the U.S. and build a similar fence for the Mexican border.

Or maybe, just maybe, we could just end the war on this front, and attack another front ~ the DEMAND SIDE; those that employ.

If we really enforced labor laws against them, all of them; the large (and small) agriculture concerns, the construction contractors, the food service industry, et al., the increased cost (higher employee wages, consumer prices) would blend with our other economic woes and generate self-deportation [from that front!]
