President Obama's National Security Speech: Dangerous Lies
"How do you know the President is lying? His lips are moving. The left is silent as this president has killed through drone strikes four Americans, yet in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 criticized Bush for water-boarding three terrorists and ignored the fact that it was done to save American lives.

This Stock Market Omen Has Been Confirmed
So what is a Hindenburg Omen? It is the alignment of several technical factors that measure the underlying condition of the stock market — specifically the NYSE — such that the probability that a stock market crash occurs is higher than normal, and the probability of a severe decline is quite high.
