WHITE HOUSE: 'LOW EXPECTATIONS' for OBAMA MID EAST VISIT - HOW LOW?
OBAMA MID EAST TRIP:
WHITE HOUSE TO KEEP EXPECTATIONS LOW FOR OBAMA MID EAST TRIP!
HOW LOW?
According to associated press:
"WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS HAVE SET EXPECTATIONS LOW FOR THE TRIP.
- NO NEW PLANS TO BRING ISRAEL AND PALESTINIANS BACK TO THE NEGOTIATING TABLE,
- NO BOOST IN ASSISTANCE TO THE PASESTINIAN AUTHORITY
- NO NEW STRATEGY TO DEAL WITH THE CHAOS IN SYRIA
- NO NEW OUTREACH TO MUSLIMS (AS WAS CENTERPIECE TO HIS JUNE, 2009 VISIT TO CAIRO)"
HOW MUCH LOWER CAN EXPECTATIONS GO?
AS THE 'YOUNG TURKS' YOUTUBE VIDEO ABOVE SAYS,
OBAMA MAY WELL JUST SAY 'I DON'T PLAN TO DO A DAMN THING'
. 'I'M GOING OVER THERE TO LOOK PRESIDENTIAL
BUT I'M NOT GOING TO DO A DAMN THING.'
THIS IS THE 'HOPE AND CHANGE' HE HAS BEEN PROMISING US FOR FOUR YEARS? '

Thanks for your column today 3-16-12. You're one of the few sportswriters who will admit that San Francisco baseball today is more like professional wrestling and today's mostly younger fans just take it in stride.
At least 4 key Giants are currently using PEDs - think Venezuela - and if another gets caught Sabes & co will just bring in another ped guy just as he went for 2010 to 2012. Goodbye Wilson, only the names change.... I guess same goes for other teams to a lesser extent, thus probably why they didn't complain as the unlikely giants waltzed to 2 world champs in 3 years.
I call it a joke but then I guess I'm older yet age should have nothing to do with it. Now the giants go and try to resign Cabrera but settle on a couple of their old previous suspects in Ramirez and Torrez. NOW Call the giants 'Steroids on steroids!'... Now likely 7 or 8 players at least.
Locally, I can't say much better for the Oakland A's either . Do they really expect Colon to put up last year's numbers if he's not on peds -and so what if he is on them I guess is how they figure. Never thought I'd see such blatant , accepted cheating in my lifetime. At least ex-A's admitted to their mistakes before it became acceptable - and even opened the door for the Commish to do something, which he never really has done to stop the mess. Baseball still sells.
It's 1919 all over again, really, with the Jints the Black Sox of the day, leading the way. I know most other SF sportswriters know exactly whats going on behind Giants 'win at any cost' attitude but continue to live the lie. Mark and Lance had to move on for their good efforts.
This stuff has been going on well over a decade. I remember when Bonds even told the press in 2002 that he was going to share his secrets of success with fellow players- and he did. (Bernard, Santiago, et al ) . Few if anyone picked up on Bond's statement to this day; this could have been more damning evidence against Bonds. A few , like part owner Bill Newcomb and trainer Stan Conte (no relation to Victor) who would even go to the hated Dodgers) knew better and got out (whether pushed out or not) of the Giants' imperial rule.
Who To Blame? Commisioner, Giants/baseball management, players, fans? Probably all of them. But it's not so much a matter of BLAME as a matter of SHAME. For the baseball purists - and there are still a lot out there as we can more fan mail from this blog than all 50 others - baseball has been ruined. Until something changes on the PED front, the Giants will continue to win World Series - or other teams that decide to go up against the Giants' number of PEDers.

Heartwarming 'OTHER SON' Should Be Required Viewing for Israelis and Arabs
Share a positive experience such as a good deed, motivational movie, etc. as we kick off this 'ROAD TO SUCCESS - 100 Years of Positive Experiences' blog....
Last night I saw an independent movie, THE OTHER SON, about two boys, one israeli and one arab , who were switched at birth by mistake. Discovered 21 years later, the two families involved managed to not only get together and work out an arrangement but became border friends! Very moving and highly recommended more@ http://www.boston.com/ae/movies/2012/10/25/the-other-son-switch-from-usual-mideast-melodrama/dFHSrlr4NcqcswFu0EXNuJ/story.html ALSO VISIT http://RoadToSuccess.biz and http://RoadToSuccess.us Celebrating 100 years of success with positive experiences
‘The Other Son’ is a switch from usual Mideast melodrama »
“The Other Son’’ is almost too obvious and too inevitable to be real. A nice French-reared, Jewish family in Tel Aviv and a less-well-off Arab quintet discover that their sons were delivered to the wrong....cont.: http://www.boston.com/ae/movies/2012/10/25/the-other-son-switch-from-usual-mideast-melodrama/dFHSrlr4NcqcswFu0EXNuJ/story.html
