Action Trust For The Blind

Obama can do no wrong in the eyes of his followers yet they blindly put their trust in his policies even though none of them have been proven to work. Even our currency says, "In God We Trust" and we are not to put blind trust in a man (Obama) but instead hold them accountable for their words and their actions.

So, are you calling for some nutter to do away with him like muzlim would?

WHY aren't you capable of accepting the will of the people?
Are you gonna carry on like this for the next eight years?
Obama won the game; you and your people lost.
Deal with it.

This is another college film from 2008 from my time at oaklands college I have no relation to the Action Trust for the blind this was simply a ...

I'm shocked, I'm devastated
I cannot believe what has just occurred
Death, rising through the ashes
Blinding me, I cannot see

Blinded, by my actions
I will take you with me
I will fight for my own intentions
I will fight if it kills me

Smoke, ablaze in my homeland
My comrades move through the dust
Day by day people are dyin
For who, can we trust?

Blinded, by my actions
I will take you with me
No one can stop me
And if you do, you will pay
Feel, the pain...

The smoke clears, the war is done
Thousands lie in graves
Mourning over their losses...
Are families in shame

I am now one
I have fulfilled my intentions
The war is now over
We can now live in peace
Thanks Cody, I can now re-edit my lyrics xD

it's really good.

With all the crap that happens in the world and with many people blinding themselves to denial when their government is responsible, they still trust their government. What about you?

Even the first American president didn't trust his own government!

"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action." -- George Washington, in a speech of January 7, 1790

No , I don't.
Where large sums of money are concerned, it is advisable to trust nobody.

Remember the gamblers creed,-Trust everybody, but cut the cards to be sure..

Trust your instincts I find that best.

Bill and Hillary Clinton liquidated the contents of their blind trust upon learning it contained investments of $5 million to $25 million that could pose conflicts of interest or prove to be embarrassing to her presidential campaign.

The blind trust and a bank account valued in the same range place the Clintons' total wealth at between $10 million and $50 million.

The Clintons looked at the contents of the blind trust in April under instructions from the Office of Government Ethics and sold the assets in May, according to a disclosure form filed Friday. The Clintons had the blind trust since former President Clinton was governor of Arkansas in 1983 and had no control over its transactions.

Once they peered inside it, they discovered it included investments in oil and drug companies, military contractors and Wal-Mart, campaign spokesman Phil Singer said.

The report, filed Friday with the Federal Election Commission and the Office of Government Ethics, provides the most detailed look at the Clintons' holdings as their wealth has expanded since the former president left the White House in 2001.

The new report also shows that the former president made $16 million in speaking fees between January 2006 and Wednesday. So far this year, Bill Clinton has given 34 paid speeches for a total of $5.9 million. (Full story)

Trust included oil, drug companies
The blind trust held stock in pharmaceutical companies, including $250,000-$500,000 in Biogen Idec and Johnson & Johnson and $100,000-$250,000 in Amgen, Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline. It also invested in General Electric and Raytheon, two leading defense contractors. The trust had a varied portfolio, with investments in numerous other companies, including Exxon Mobil, BP Amoco, Walt Disney and eBay.

The report said all the proceeds of the sales are being placed in a cash account. The massive unloading of stock means the Clintons face large capital gains taxes.

Though all the blind trust transactions were handled over the years by a trustee without the Clintons' knowledge, some of the holdings could have been awkward for Hillary Clinton as she pursues the Democratic presidential nomination.

The blind trust held stock worth $100,000-$250,000 in NewsCorp, the parent company of Fox News, which many Democrats have denounced as biased against them. The trust also held stock in Wal-Mart and Wal-Mart de Mexico.

The senator served on the Wal-Mart board from 1986 to 1992, and was close with the Walton family that created the nation's largest retailer. But she has recently called on the company to provide better worker benefits and last year her Senate campaign returned $5,000 to Wal-Mart's political action committee. At the time, Clinton campaign spokeswoman Ann Lewis said the money was returned "because of serious differences with current company practices."

Friday's report comes on the heels of Hillary Clinton's Senate disclosure report, made public Thursday, which only covered activity in 2006 and did not reflect this year's liquidation of the blind trust.

Clinton and other presidential candidates were required to file financial disclosure documents with the Office of Government Ethics by May 15. But Clinton and Republican candidates Mitt Romney and John McCain asked for 45-day extensions because they all had blind trusts that the ethics office demanded be opened.

Campaign: Reporting goes 'above and beyond' requirements
"As a presidential candidate, Sen. Clinton was required to make her assets public," campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson said. "As a result, she had to dissolve her blind trust. Upon its dissolution, she and the president chose to go above and beyond what was required of them and liquidate their assets in order to avoid even the hint of a conflict of interest."

When it comes to family affluence, the reports show that the New York senator is the wealthiest of all members of Congress seeking the presidency. Among all presidential candidates, however, Republican Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, stands alone with assets of between $190 million and $250 million. Republican Rudy Giuliani and Democrat John Edwards have each reported assets of about $30 million.

Last year and this year, Bill Clinton earned fees from $100,000 to $450,000 speaking to such corporations as IBM, General Motors, and Cisco Systems, finance giants such as Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers, and trade groups such as the National Association of Realtors and the Mortgage Bankers Association. He also has been paid to speak to nonprofit or charity groups, including the TJ Martell Foundation, which finances leukemia research, Nelson Mandela's Children's Fund and, last March, to the Boys and Girls Club of Los Angeles.
Thanks to all that answered the question. Here's another point, yes it was a blind trust, and I own mutual funds also but I know exactley what kinds of companies I am invested with, with the kind of money the Clintos have and had invested in these funds, it would be foolish to think they didn't know how, who and where there money was invested. Just food for thought

you expected differently?

For the Clintons, it's all about the money.

Hypocrisy is the least of their worries.
I don't blame them though. Fox News is the only REAL news network in America.
Fair and Balanced.

It was about 3 years ago that I met the most wonderful girl that could ever be for me. We got together and had a VERY good relationship that lasted up to about a year. But it was then that I began to have a crush on some other girl, whom I met before my true love, and I acted upon those feelings...blinded by an infatuation, wondering what could be and not standing not having to answer that question. So i left my true love and I began to hang out with this crush. but it only took about a week or so that my true love faught for my heart really hard and gave me an ultimatum. That scared me and it made me think twice and go back to her. So i did, and we lasted a couple of more months..almost a whole year...but i was still unsure of my feelings...and I ended up leaving her for the same reason again...(DAMNIT!!...I AM SUCH A DUMB@$$) but this time i actually pursued something with this crush...and within 4 months into dating..and about 2 months into a relationship...I kept thinking about my true love and I kept remebering little things...remembering how SHE was in a relationship...how SHE would go about things...how SHE loved me. And I began to be unhappy. I was unhappy with my crush..not only because it was not what I liked in a relationship..and in continuing something like that would make me unhappy...and I was too depressed to even try things out...but also because my feelings for my true love resurfaced...they were always there...and through this whole experience...I realize now that they will always be there...and I have realized that she is the one for me. Of COURSE i feel like crap for having to break her heart twice and having to break the crushes heart as well!!...It SUCKS being responsible for such an ugly action. I am tired of unwillingly taking people for granted...but now that I have a clear mind on what I want...I know I can be a better person..and I know I can be trusting. So..Recently I have told my true love about my feelings for her and she understood; She was very skeptical about things but she just wants to be friends. We talk like so..but there have been moments where we fall deep in a loving trance when alone and we kiss like never before. there is so much love and passion in the kisses....and she even felt comfortable enough to make love...and she is NOT one to just throw that around...she waits for the right person. But she tells me that everything we have done recently is really nice and it makes her happy..but she is scared and she doesnt know what she wants...shes confused..and I totally understand that. She is in the state of mind where nothing and no one will interest her because she wants to focus on figuring out her true feelings. I told her that im going to stay and be there for her...but she doesn't want to hurt my feelings if things dont go the way i would like them to...but i am willing to take the chance..of COURSE i am. So im just a little confused myself as to how to go about winning her heart over again and gaining her trust..but at the same time, not interupting her focus on her true feelings. I have a list of so many things to do for her that would show my love...but would this be the right time? what can I do? what Should I do?

Just let fate take its path. ALSO, make sure you let the crush know... it's not fair for her to get attached to you when you don't have intentions of being with her. Be honest to all involved and see where things go, consider all options and think about other people's feelings as well. You need to be happy but that doesn't mean you have to break up with someone in a harsh way. You have to break one person's heart, make sure you do it in a way that they can recuperate in a healthy way.
