BREAKING NEWS/PHILIPPINES:Former Pres Corazon ‘Cory’ Aquino dies at 76.

2009-08-02T23:37:00.001-07:00

MANILA,Philippines | Former Philippine President Cory Aquino died today at 76 years old from cancer in Makati. She became President after Dictator Ferdinand Marcos’ 20 year regime. She got into politics after husband Sen. Ninoy Aquino was assassinated upon returning from exile in 1983. She allegedly lost the 1986 Presidential Election,but the People’s Power Revolution ousted re-elected Marcos and she was installed President.

More info from FRANCE 24/AP:

Former President Corazon Aquino, whose “people power” revolution swept dictator Ferdinand Marcos from power in the Philippines, died on Saturday after a 16-month battle against colon cancer, her family said. She was 76.

Aquino was diagnosed with the disease in March 2008 but kept up public appearances this year. A devout Catholic, she was a regular at weekend mass until shortly before being admitted to hospital in late June.

“Our mother peacefully passed away at 3:18 a.m. (1918 GMT Friday) of cardio-respiratory arrest,” her son, Senator Benigno Aquino Jr., told reporters in Manila.

Aquino, known as Cory to millions of Filipinos, was president from 1986 to 1992 and will be best remembered as the slim woman in yellow who deposed Marcos in 1986.

The tumultuous events of those weeks reached a crescendo when up to 1 million people waving rosaries and flowers stopped tanks advancing towards Aquino-backed army rebels.

When a bewildered Marcos and his wife Imelda fled the country, it set a precedent for dissidents from South Africa to South America and Pakistan. Aquino was hailed by many as a modern-day Joan of Arc.

“She would have wanted us to thank each and every one of you for all the prayers and your continuous love and support. It was her wish for all of us to pray for one another and for our country,” Aquino Jr said.

Cory was a reluctant leader. She shed the housewife’s apron only after her politician husband, opposition leader Benigno, was assassinated at Manila’s international airport in 1983 on his return from exile in the United States.

Accusing Marcos of ordering the murder, Aquino led protest marches but hesitated when an election was called in 1986.

“What on earth do I know about being president?,” she said before taking up the challenge to run against Marcos.

Inevitably, her presidency was less successful than the revolution, with a series of coup attempts by the military keeping the administration hamstrung.

Aquino was lauded for her courage but the spectre of army intervention haunted her entire rule. Natural disasters, including Mount Pinatubo’s huge volcanic eruption in 1991, severely battered the economy.

Turned to faith

Aquino often turned to her faith to steer her through difficult times.

“There was never any moment that I doubted God would help ... If it was time to die, so be it,” she said when rebel mortars pounded the presidential palace in 1987.

“I have not always won but ... I never shirked a fight,” she said in 1992 before handing power over to her successor, former defence minister Fidel Ramos.

She oversaw the writing of a new constitution which limited a president’s time in office to one six-year term.

Born on January 25, 1933, into one of the country’s richest families, the Cojuangcos, Aquino grew up in a world of wealth and politics. The daughter of a congressman, she married Benigno, a politician with promise, and they had four daughters and a son before he was thrown into prison by Marcos and then forced into exile.

Aquino seemed frail in later years, but was still game for a fight when she thought it necessary. She brought half a million people on to the street in the 1990s when her Ramos flirted with the idea of trying to extend his term in office.

She was involved in the protests that brought an end to the presidency of Joseph Estrada in 2001, and had supported the campaign to remove current president, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

Last year, just before Christmas, she publicly apologised for helping bring down Estrada.

“We all make mistakes, please forgive me,” Aquino said.

Estrada, once an implacable foe, said of the apology: “It was the best Christmas gift I have ever received.”

It mattered to him because it came from “the most trusted person in the country”.

Sonia Sotomayor has been named the next Supreme Court Justice by President Obama. She will be the 1st Hispanic and the 3rd Female.

Democrats suggested Sotomayor in 2005 when President George W Bush was looking to replace Sandra Day O’Connor,which eventually went to Samuel Alito.

Senate votes on Obama $800+ billion Stimulus today

2009-02-02T15:11:00.000-08:00

WASHINGTON – The $800+ billion stimulus bill passed in the House with NO GOP support,is expected to go through the Senate today. GOP Senators are planning to vote NO on the bill,but those states’ GOP Governors are pushing their Senators to vote for it,just for the cash. GOP Senators have said that the bill has a lot of flaws. For example,only $7+ billion is needed for education,while the bill provides $11+ billion. GOP Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R) and top Republicans met with Pres. Obama. Obama hoped to get bi-partisan support for his bill,which does have too much government spending. According to the GOP,there is too much ‘pork’ in the bill,which 2008 Pres Candidate John McCain promised to cut out. But since the Democrats are the majority,it is expected to be passed,but the GOP insists on revising it first.

Military Judge Denies Obama Request to Suspend Hearings at Guantanamo

2009-01-29T15:36:00.000-08:00

ARTICLE from WASHINGTON POST Writer Peter Finn

GUANTANAMO BAY - A military judge in Guantanamo Bay today denied the Obama administration's request to delay proceedings for 120 days in the case of a detainee accused of planning the October 2000 attack on the USS Cole warship, an al-Qaeda strike that killed 17 service members and injured 50 others.

The decision throws into some disarray the administration's efforts to buy time to review individual detainee cases as part of its plan to close the U.S. military prison at the Guantanamo naval base in Cuba. The Pentagon may now be forced to temporarily withdraw the charges against Abd al Rahim al-Nashiri, a Saudi citizen of Yemeni descent.

Nashiri is facing arraignment on capital charges on Feb. 9, and Judge James Pohl, an Army colonel, said the case would go ahead.

"We just learned of the ruling here . . . and we are consulting with the Pentagon and the Department of Justice to explore our options in that case," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said. Asked at a news briefing whether the decision would hamper the administration's ability to evaluate the cases of Guantanamo detainees, Gibbs replied: "No. Not at all."

In one of his first actions, President Obama issued an executive order instructing Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates to make sure all military commission proceedings "are halted" during a review of the cases of individual detainees at Guantanamo and of the broader system of military commission trials.

The administration chose to achieve that by instructing military prosecutors to seek 120-day suspensions of legal proceedings in the cases of 21 detainees who have been charged. Approximately 245 prisoners are being held at Guantanamo.

He said he would do somethings differently throughout his presidency.He also thanked those who have fought for our country in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Despite record low job approval ratings, most Americans think George W. Bush is a good person. And as he prepares to leave the presidency, more than twice as many people think history will be cruel to Bush as think history will be kind.

According to a FOX News poll taken during Bush's final full week in office, 34 percent of Americans say they approve of the job he is doing and 58 percent disapprove — his highest positive rating since December of 2007.
