We
now can see Barack Obama as he really is today, Not much of a change at
all except maybe that he is a little bit worse than the other
politicians before him. "Yes we can" was only another catchy political
election soundbite that look good on TV, Bumper stickers, and political
pins. No! The truth of who Barack Obama is looks very crystal clear now.
He
is a puppet politician moving and talking to the tune of the same old
Washington DC drummer. The American federal government corruption in Washington DC is still holding back the good that men might want to do for the American people.
So all you did was waste our time Mr. president Barack Obama. You are just as bad as the common night owls louse who keep sneaking around town, cheating on the person who really loves them.
So all you did was waste our time Mr. president Barack Obama. You are just as bad as the common night owls louse who keep sneaking around town, cheating on the person who really loves them.
I would rather walk with the great spirit from time to time and pray for wisdom. To show some respectful feelings to our true creator. I can't think of nothing worst to me, then to be like the wiseguys politicians running the federal government in Washington DC.
Who always just turns out to be just another louse.
Every
time I see that I am everything to the women who loves me, I know deep
inside just how wealthy I am. And as I work and play in the daily
company of my children, and friends, I feel like the luckiest person in
the world. The beautiful smile and feeling of my son when he truly loves
me for real, is the kind of magic that simply takes my breath away.
How in the world could the people running the federal government double cross everyday American people like that?
I have a feeling that the heaven and hell that we love or fear right here on earth is nearer than we might think.How in the world could the people running the federal government double cross everyday American people like that?

I guess they could just move the statue to Austin, right? (Charles Atkeison via Flickr)
Before we get too far into this: Texas might need a prybar to get Mack Brown out of the head coaching job. ESPN’s Travis Haney tweeted Tuesday
that Brown doesn’t plan on resigning, even though multiple sources say
Texas hopes to ease him out by the end of the week. So there’s likely to
be some blood and tears just in Phase 1 of this coaching change.
Phase 2 will be all about Nick Saban. Texas will try to get him, Alabama will try to keep him, and the college football world will rumble and shake.
From the outside, it might seem insane for Saban to leave Alabama. He’s won three out of the last four national titles. They’ve already built a statue of him outside the stadium. They’re sure to match whatever money he gets offered elsewhere. From the outside, it’s hard to imagine a better gig.
But I wonder what it looks like from the inside.
1. He’ll never be Bear Bryant. Saban could become a legend at Alabama — maybe he already has — but Bear was the FIRST legend, and that matters. When it comes to personality, Bear had the houndstooth hat and the Golden Flake chips and that mumbly burr of a voice. Nick Saban has … the Process. Bear’s life was turned into a movie. Saban’s is best expressed as a PowerPoint presentation. Alabama fans will always love the Bear more.
2. Alabama might care a little too much. As I’ve written before, no other place in America cares about any sport as much as the state of Alabama cares about college football. That’s why this year’s Iron Bowl was the greatest game in college football history, capped off by, well, sure, let’s watch it one more time:
To repeat: Alabama has won three of the last four national titles, and was 11-0 and ranked no. 1 going into the Auburn game. But do you know what this season was to a lot of Alabama fans? A failure. Saban’s wife, Terry, put it this way recently: “You come to a crossroads and the expectations get so great, people get spoiled by success and there gets to be a lack of appreciation. We’re kind of there now.”
The flip side of that: Mack Brown has won two conference titles (and one national title) in 16 years at Texas. A coach who won the conference twice in 16 years at Alabama would never happen, because that coach would never last 16 years.
3. He could recruit in Texas. Saban is, in (maybe) his own words, “the best damn recruiter that ever lived.” And Texas is a diamond mine when it comes to high-school football. Alabama has great high-school players, too, but Texas is just bigger and deeper. Put it this way: Alabama has six players from Texas on its current roster. Texas doesn’t have anyone from Alabama.
4. He can build again. Saban might tell his players to focus on the game in front of them, but he’s always looking ahead. He famously grumbled about winning the national championship — grumbled about winning the national championship! — because it cost him a week of recruiting. He has molded Alabama back into the football powerhouse its fans expect. Texas fans expect the same. It might satisfy him more to rebuild the Longhorns than it would to sustain the Crimson Tide.
Saban is 62. If he’s going to make one more move, now’s the time to do it. Supposedly he has an offer from Alabama on his desk, and the longer he goes without signing it, the more nervous Alabama fans are going to get. But I don’t think he’s letting this linger for the drama. He might not even be doing it for the money — he’s getting a big raise whether he stays or leaves. My suspicion is that he’s wondering the same thing a lot of people wonder when they reach the top. Is this really the top? Or is that other hill, off in the distance, a little bit higher?

Why Nick Saban Might Actually Leave Alabama For Texas

Alabama ‘getting nervous about lack of response’ from Saban on new deal
Posted by John Taylor on December 11, 2013
APThe story that shows no signs of going away seemingly adds another layer or two every hour on the hour.Intertwined with the likely departure of Mack Brown from Texas at some point before the end of the week, speculation has once again centered on Nick Saban taking over as the Longhorns head coach.
A respected TCU beat writer, Stefan Stevenson, went so far as to state very plainly that the Alabama coach would be the next UT head coach, although he did soften that stance in a subsequent tweet by stating, “I’ll believe it when I see it.”
There are also reports that, as expected, Alabama is working on a new deal for Saban, but even that is causing some frayed nerves in the Yellowhammer State.
Posted to ESPN.com very early Wednesday morning, radio personality Paul Finebaum wrote that “Saban has had a contract extension on his desk since Friday.” The issue is that, nearly a week later, the new deal, which would bump the pay of what’s already the nation’s highest-paid head coach into the $7 million-a-year range, is still unsigned.
“[T]he longer it goes unsigned, the more uncomfortable Alabama officials grow. … Alabama officials are getting nervous about the lack of response,” Finebaum wrote.
Saban and his wife have consistently shot down reports over the past couple of months connecting the four-time BCS title-winning coach to a potential opening in Austin. Thanks to the way his departure from the Miami Dolphins played out, his words have thus far rang hollow — and will continue to do so even if he comes out again and states he’s staying in Tuscaloosa.
For what it’s worth, ESPN‘s Kirk Herbstreit was very emphatic when asked about the Saban-to-Texas rumors, saying the Longhorns should “immediately scratch” him off their coaching to-do list and look elsewhere.
“There’s no chance. No chance of that happening,” Herbstriet told the Dallas Morning News. “Nick Saban will work TV sitting next to us on our set before he’ll be the head coach at Texas … He’ll be at Alabama for another five years, and then he’ll be working TV after that … I know Nick Saban better than anybody. It’s not going to happen.”
I tend to agree. This appears to be nothing more than Saban’s agent leveraging UT’s obvious interest in his client into a sweeter deal from UA, as if that’s actually necessary.
But, then again, the longer the smoke lingers, the more whatever fire is burning below will be stoked by the always-churning rumor mill machine.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- The road to the interstate hasn't yet been blocked.
Flights still leave the airport daily. Gas stations regularly pump
unleaded for around $3 a gallon. And the grocery stores here remained
stocked with canned goods and water.
If a disaster is about to occur at the University of Alabama -- and Nick Saban leaving for Texas would qualify -- you wouldn't know it in the sober expression of the town the school inhabits.
The campus is quiet. The most noticeable buzz comes from libraries and coffeehouses, where a growing number of students twitch and hurriedly whisper to one another with a book in one hand and caffeine in another. The only audible plea for an extension is directed at professors as finals are being administered here this week.
Make no mistake, if Saban left, the school and the city of Tuscaloosa would be devastated. He's the largest and most important figure here, without question. His meaning to the community cannot be understated.

It
goes beyond coaching a handful of games each fall. This is a town that
has always identified with coaches. Paul W. Bryant Drive cuts through
the center of UA's campus and runs alongside Paul W. Bryant Museum, and a
street over you'll find a statue of Paul W. Bryant standing only a few
yards from a bronzed statue of Nicholas L. Saban.
There hasn't yet been a real threat to the statue and the promise it holds. Saban's feet remained entrenched at Alabama amid the swirl of rumors and speculation. As Bill Battle, the school's athletic director, said on Wednesday, "It's business as usual," as the recruiting season kicks into high gear and bowl practice remains a week or so away.
But until Saban signs an extension to stay at Alabama, the level of anxiety will grow here and abroad. The more days that pass until a deal is reached, the more frenzied the rumor mill will become.
The fact remains that Tuscaloosa has been Saban's longest stop as a head coach, and even after seven years, there are many who wonder what kind of loyalty to Alabama exists in him. Would a 62-year-old man -- a man who's "too damn old" by his own estimation -- embark on a rebuilding project at Texas? Would he leave a finely tuned dynasty he's built in Tuscaloosa for a giant question mark in Austin?
Until everything is said and done, there's no way of knowing. There are those here who scoff at the idea that an extension would do anything to stamp out the Saban-to-Texas speculation. Until the Longhorns have a replacement for Mack Brown, the talk will likely continue.
But the truth is this is nothing new. People here are used to Saban's name coming up for coaching jobs, whether it's in college or pros. It was only some eight months ago that he signed an extension through 2020, and even then it wasn't enough to keep his name out of coaching searches.
Frankly, what's happening now is the price of doing business in college football. Alabama and its fans understand that. There won't be any mad dash for supplies around Tuscaloosa between now and the end of this saga. There hasn't been a single bonfire or couch burned in protest.
This is the rumor mill at work, and until it's over we'll all find a way to survive.
