Obama And His Associations

Obama's associations are an important issue because it speaks directly at his judgement. So, I hate when his campaign says that the Americans don't care about that stuff and lets talk about the issues. Yes, of course the economy is the most important issue, so I wish the Obama campaign would stop saying lets stick to the economy only. I think McCain is completely better on the economy anyways, but lets talk about that later. The thing is is there are more issues than just the economy. There are tons of issues facing this country at all times. There has never been a president who did not have to deal with some type of major issue during their presidency. That is why we as Americans need to look at each candidates past in order to get a good idea of their future. So, that is why I think Obama's associations are a very important issue and the Obama campaign knows this, which is why they are trying so hard to divert our attention from these associations by telling Americans that we are in the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, LOL.

Look people, we had 30% unemployment during the Great Depression, we were about to be involved in the largest war on the planet ever and the houses crisis was ten times larger than the one now. In 1980 when President Regan took over, he took over with 10% unemployment, a very large deficit, a large debt, 12.5% inflation rate, and 21.5% intrest rates. When Regan left office, he left with 5% unemployment, 4% inflation, 12% intrest rates, and cold war ended. Right now we have only 6.1% unemployment, inflation is much lower, and intrest rates are at 6%. So how in the world is this financial crisis the worst one since the Great Depression? How can Americans be so ignorant to believe that it is the worst crisis since the Great Depression?

Yesterday the Dow had record increases which shows us that the market will rebound from the recent down turn. Out free market system will work for us now the same way it has for the last 100 years. Why should we elect this untested guy? Why should we elect a guy who pals around with racists, terorrists, and slum lords?

Why is it ok for Obama to sit in a church for 22 years listening to an extremely racist pastor giving his sermans? Why is it not an issue that Obama had relationships with an unrepentant terorrist? Why is it ok for Obama to help a convicted slum lord get government money for housing projects for African American communities and then buy land from the same convicted slum lord? I ask why?

What if it were McCain sitting in a white supremicing church for 22 years? Wouldn't that be the main topic of disscussion in the mainstream media? What if McCain was friends with Timothy Mcveigh after he bombed the ATF building and visited him in jail the months after his arrest? What if McCain helped to get funding for someone who was convicted of giving African Americans substandard living conditions?

If the associations were McCains associations then we would have a entirely different approach to them by our mainstream media in this country. The mainstream media will not talk about Obama'a associations because they know if they do the American people will surely elect John McCain a republican to be our next President and they can't stand the thought of another republican holding the highest office for another 4 years.

The Moment Of Truth

In recent days I have been feeling more and more discouraged about what the outcome of this election will become. Each day we get closer I hear more people discussing the election and extending their opinion about each candidate's policies. If there is one thing I have realized more than anything else during these discussions is, Obama is very good at getting people to believe that they will not be subjected to the higher taxes needed in order to pay for his plans. People really believe they won't be paying the price tag for all of Obama's added programs. Poor people think that the rich will be the only ones who will pay the extra cost for his plans.

Well, all I can say is that everybody better think again because it is all bull. There is no possible way the middle class can get out of paying for Obama's new programs. First of all, Obama openly says he will eliminate the Bush tax cuts which will affect everyone making more than forty two thousand dollars a year. This is a very clever way of raising taxes on the middle class without making it look like he was the one responsible for doing so. Of course he is making it look like it is Bush's fault but when in reality it is just Obama raising taxes. Another news flash to every Obama supporter out there is that big corporations don't pay taxes. They collect taxes, from the consumers of their products or services by simply raising the cost. So what does that mean? It means we the middle class will pay the new corporate taxes which Obama plans on raising when he takes office. Just to give a quick example, lets say someone who is only making $20,000 a year is saving their hard earned money to finally buy that flat screened TV they have always wanted. Well, they will actually pay 20% more for that TV if Obama gets elected. So, if that TV cost $2,000 it will now cost $2,400 plus the sales tax on top of the extra cost which will also be more than before because the percentage will be more. And by my understanding, I thought Obama said "Only if you make $250,000 a year or more you will pay higher taxes.", but this person who makes $20,000 a year is going to pay $424 more for their TV. My friends that is raising taxes on people making less than $250,000 a year in a clever way.

The thing that bothers me the most about this, is that Obama is a very educated man, which means he knows all of this is going to happen. He knows the middle class will ultimately pay his higher taxes but yet continues to campaign on slogans that say he is going to give the middle class tax cuts. Obama knows the corporations are going to raise their costs on us after he raises their taxes 13% but yet he still tells us he is looking out for us. Obama knows, that after these corporations raise their costs, they might not sell as much of their product as before, which will force them to cut our jobs. These corporations will have to cut good jobs which give good benefits but yet Obama says he is looking out for us, the middle class. Face it people, the cost of everything will go up. Our grocery bills will go up, our electric bills will go up, our fuel costs will go up, all of our bills will go up, but yet Obama insits he will not raise our taxes! Yes, maybe our tax bill will not go up but every other bill will go up, so what is the difference?

I say Obama is as phoney as they come. He is playing class warfare which is extremely dangerous in this country. This country has been running on capitalism for over a hundred years and has been very successful in doing so. So because of one recession, one of many recessions, we are now going to change they way we run our great country. Come on people, socialism is not something we should experiment with during these difficult times or any times for that matter. Socialism is expensive and means big government telling us what to do with our money. Is that what we Americans really want? I don't believe Americans really want what Obama is trying to sell us. I do believe Americans are really upset with George Bush, the same as I am and believe Obama when he says, McCain will be just like Bush. Although, Americans voting with these kinds of emotions, I believe will be very damaging to our country.

It is actually quite sad to be honest. Just because one republican president does a bad job in the white house, Americans are willing to give up our way of life which we have been living for so long by casting a vote for Obama. Look I know that sounds a little dramatic but it is true if you are paying attention to what it is that Obama wants to do when he takes office. Obama wants government to do everything for everyone instead of us doing for ourselves which is socialism. He wants to spend our money the way he sees fit.

Unfortunate Future

This election season is going in the wrong direction to say the least. I am in total disbelief as well as completely frustrated when I hear Americans say that Obama is better on the economy than McCain. I ask myself, "Can Americans be that ignorant, when it comes to this robin hood method of running our country?". Hugo Chavez, the President of Venezuela, has been trying that robin hood method of running his country for several years now, which has been failing miserably.

I guess the reason Americans are buying into this message from Obama is because it is being pounded into their heads on a constant basis by the bias mainstream media. Also, Obama has approximately $70 million a month to work with for advertising which is why every time you turn on the radio or the TV you hear Obama saying, "95% of Americans are going to get a tax cut while the top 5% are going to get increases". This is so funny because 41% of Americans don't even pay federal income taxes, so how could you cut what they don't pay. Another fact under the current tax system is that the top 5% earning Americans already pay 67% of the federal taxes and the top 1% pays 30% of the federal taxes. So, how much does Obama plan on making the top 5% pay?

These are facts of which most Americans are totally unaware. Many of those 41% of Americans who do not pay any federal taxes, probably think that they do pay taxes. They are probably confusing social security taxes and medicare taxes with federal taxes. Since these people think they are paying federal taxes they also think that it is so great that Obama is going to cut their taxes. This is so misleading because these voters are basing their decisions on false information. These people are also unaware that if Obama increases the taxes on Corporate America it will only be passed onto them. These companies will just pass the added cost of taxes onto us the consumers. Since, the prices of these goods and services are going to increase because of the increase in taxes they will be forced to pay under Obama's new tax plan, they will probably sell less. If they sell less product that will obviously mean less profit which will ultimately lead to laying off workers. Either way you look at it, we the middle class are going to pay for Obama's tax increases. This is why I am so frustrated when I hear people say, "Obama is thinking about the poor people, and is only going to tax the rich.".

Also, I am very angry at McCain for not defending his positions on taxes much stronger than he has been. McCain needs to get angry out there on the debate floor and defend his positions on tax cuts for big corporations. These corporations are hurting, which is what is causing this country to go into a recession. Taxing these companies even more will only make the situation worse than it already is now. These companies will cut jobs, spending, and benefits if they are taxed more in these ruff times. Which jobs will they cut? The middle class jobs will be the first ones to be cut. So, how is it that Obama thinks he is looking out for us, when he is causing our companies to lay us off from our jobs.

What Obama and Obama supporters do not understand is that everybody needs their taxes cut during these times as well as government spending needs to be suspended for a while. Which means we need to make some sacrifices in order to move forward. The first concern needs to be getting the market stable again which will naturally create more jobs and bring in more revenue which will ultimately bring more taxes in the end. After that is accomplished, we can begin to pay down the deficit. I think Americans forget that we have had large deficits before and managed to pay them off and we have never accomplished that by raising taxes. When Ronald Regan took office, he took office with a large deficit, double digit unemployment and he lowered taxes which eventually got us out of debt and lowered unemployment. The way Ronald Regan did that was by lowering taxes on everyone. Lowering taxes in tough times is the single most important thing the government can do to help the country recover from a recession.

McCain's tax plan will bring relief to everyone including the middle class, rich people, and large corporations. This will stimulate the economy by keeping the money where it belongs, out of the hands of a bureaucrat. The government will only waste the money as they always have before. Income redistribution will not work and it is not fair. One of the greatest things about this country is that if you work hard and educate yourself, you can make yourself rich. Now, why should you share your hard work with someone who is not willing to go that extra mile. I don't know, maybe it is just me, but I do not pity anyone who has four children and is struggling to get make ends meet. They should have learned from the first child. My wife and I make pretty good money and we desire to have children one day, but we are waiting until our financial situation is good enough for us to have a child. We share a car, we don't eat out, we budget our weekly spending, we invest all of our extra money and we do all of this in an effort to save money for our future. This is why I do not pity the irresponsible people who keep having children and can not afford too. Why should I be responsible and pay their mistakes?

Last night on the news they showed a plumber asking Obama about his tax plan and Obama replied by saying, "I am going to raise your taxes, because we need to spread the wealth around to everyone." All I can say is Wow, with a capital "W"! Listen to that message of socialism. Basically, what this means is, if you sacrifice, work hard, stay up late studying for a degree and become successful you will be able to contribute more to the people who do not. Responsible people carry the burden of the irresponsible people under Obama's philosophy of government.

Anyone who is reading this is probably thinking that I am really cold person, but actually I am not. I do not mind helping people who truly can not do for themselves. For example, someone who has a disability such as being paralysed, someone who is mentally challenged, a war veteran with a missing limb, someone who is dying from cancer or a child born with aids and so on. Of course their are always some people who could not make it in life without the help of the government which is totally acceptable. In some cases I think we do not do enough for some people.

Although, on the hand the government is helping totally capable people with things that they should be doing for themselves. No matter how good or bad the economy is these are the same people who always have their hands out looking for the rest of us to support them. These are the people for whom I have absolutely no pity for and I could care less whether they live in house or in a cardboard box. And if they have kids then government should take them or the government should give them vouchers for daycare, so that they can go to work and earn something in life. There should be a work for welfare program. No one should just get a check from the government without preconditions. If not then where does it end?

There are many reasons not to vote for Obama but I believe the biggest one is his idea of socialism. Then their is his associations with Reverend Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Louis Farrakhan, Acorn and Tony Rezko. These are real relationships that people need to take into consideration. Reverend Jeremiah Wright is as racist as they come and Obama sat in his church for 20 years. Obama went to Reverend Jeremiah Wright's church twice a month for 20 years and claims he did not hear any of his racist talk. Does he really expect us to believe him. Reverend Jeremiah Wright married Barrack and Michelle as well as baptising his two children. Obama only distanced himself from Wright because of politics. And I hate when Obama says, "I was eight years old when William Ayers bombed the pentagon.". It isn't about whether Obama was part of it or not, but it is about his judgement. Our future President should not be sitting on the board with domestic terrorists. It does not matter how long ago the incident happened.

Also, Obama only has 7 total years of experience as a politician. In his two years as a senator he has never voted for lower taxes for the middle class but has voted for middle class tax increases. Yes, you did read that right, middle class tax increases. Four times to be exact. Isn't he the one saying he is going to cut the middle class taxes? It will never happen folks. It is all smoke and mirrors.

Clinton Versus Bush, Democrats Versus Repuplicans

One of the common assessments I hear quite often during this election is that the Clinton era was so much better than the Bush era in regards to the economy. This is a topic I have discussed many times with friends, family and strangers. Of course the economy was much better during the Clinton era. But lets take a look at why the economy was better, what made the economy better, and who made the economy better.

There are so many different factors when it comes to the economy. A good economy and a bad economy. One thing, we were in total peace time during the Clinton era. The Internet exploded onto the scene during the Clinton era and the last time I checked, Clinton did not invent the Internet. Along with the Internet, came the tech boom. This was the true driving force behind our economy during the Clinton era. Companies like "Yahoo", "Google", and "Amazon.com" came onto the scene in the 1990's. The Dot-Com Boom drove the market up so high and created so many jobs during the Clinton era. Also, these were good paying jobs which led to a real estate boom.

All was good until the bubble bursted in the late 1990's during Clinton's last two years in office, which continued right on into the beginning of the Bush era.

Also, people need to be reminded that there are three branches of federal government, which are the President, the House, and the Senate, each with fairly equal powers. When Clinton took office he had a democratically controlled House and Senate for the first two years until the republicans took over for his remaining six years. During Clinton's first two years he raised taxes on everyone including the middle class, which he, just like Obama said he was not going to but did anyway. It wasn't until the republicans took over the House and the Senate that taxes were cut on everyone including the big corporations.

Bush inherited an economy that was in the beginning stages of a recession. Then, as we all know in Bush's first year in office the horrible attacks of 911 took place which had devastating effects on our economy. It hurt our economy in so many ways that people do not even realize. The airlines were grounded for three days, which almost put them out of business. As a result to that the Government had to bailout the airline companies. The stock market took historical hits the months there after 911. Then of course we had to go to war with Afghanistan as direct result of 911. All of these things were playing factors in the downing of our economy.

As we can see it is the circumstances that can help a President look good or look bad. There is a lot of luck that comes into play with some of these things.

Now, in this present day economic situation it would be a drastic mistake to raise taxes on anyone, especially big corporations in which put the most money into our economy. People need to understand that if you tax the big corporations they will cut good jobs, they will pass the cost on to us, and there will be less money for growth. And growth is what creates new jobs.

Less taxes and less Government spending is the key to getting out of this economic crisis. We should let the people get us out of this mess not the Government.

Economic Frustrations In The Elections

Each day I grow even more frustrated when I hear Obama is the one benifiting from this economic crisis. Are people that naive in this country? Are people that uniformed in this country? I guess people do not understand that the democrats are the main culprits behind the sub prime mortgages. The democrats wanted loans made possible to low income families and minorities. Franklins Raines the CEO of Fannie Mae is on Obama's campaign staff. Democratic Representative Barney Frank was in charge of overseeing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac during this crisis. Barney Frank said on several occasions that these financial institutions were not in any danger. Maybe that is because Barney Frank also had a homosexual relationship with one of Fannie Mae's top executives during the 1990's when this whole mess began.

John McCain in 2005 co-sponsored a bill to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This bill was rejected by the democrats.

John McCain needs to get angry and fight back when these democrats try to put their own mess on him! This is the most ridiculous stuff I have ever heard in my entire life! The same people who wanted these institutions to give money to people who could not pay it back are now the same people blaming the other side of the aisle. The worst thing about this is that Americans are so stupid that they believe this crap. Americans watch the bias news agencies and think they are getting the truth.

I mean come on, Obama has received the third most money ever from Fannie Mae in campaign contributions, ever! He is only a three year senator. The democrats were in bed with these institutions for years and now they are blaming the republicans. The reason they are getting away with it is because they tell everyone it is Bush policies that got us to this point. And Americans are so dissatisfied with Bush that they believe he had something to do with everything, which is not true.

Americans need to wake the f--- up. Obama is planning $1,500,000,000,000.00 of new spending. This is more than twice the amount that America has spent in the 5 years we have been at war in Iraq. More than twice! He is going to raise social security tax, death tax, capital gains tax, rich tax, and taxes on large corporations.

How do Americans think that these corporations are going to make up this loss on these higher taxes? They are going to pass the cost onto the consumer which is you, the middle class. Isn't the middle class who Obama said he was going to give tax cuts too? Seriously this is what will happen. In the end the taxes will be evenly distributed, trust me. Their is no way the middle class will avoid the extra costs of this new government spending in which Obama plans.

What do Americans think will happen if Obama doubles capital gains taxes during this crisis? It will deter investment which is needed to grow this economy. Will this help companies to add new jobs, do you think? Do you think doubling the capital gains tax will attract foreign investment which is so badly needed? I don't think so. I think it will send investment to other countries where there is no capital gains taxes. Which will create new jobs in other countries.

McCain has a history of voting for lower taxes for everyone including the middle class. Obama has history of voting for higher taxes including the middle class. McCain has history of working across the aisle with democrats and Obama does not.
This is why I am so frustrated with my country. Why is Obama benefiting from this economic crisis? It just does not make any sense unless Americans truly want to change into a socialistic country.

If you vote for Obama you are voting for higher taxes, less jobs, more government, weaker military, socialism, radicalism, no drilling and inexperience.

McCain is for less spending, smaller government, lower taxes for everyone including rich people, stronger military and capitalism.

Vice Presidential Debate

This week is my first week back to work from my surgery and this is the reason for why it has taken me so long to write something about the debate. Wow! What a sigh of relief! Sarah Palin did a fantastic job. Actually in my opinion, she did a much better job than McCain did against Obama. She has really set a new bar for the McCain ticket, and now McCain needs to run with it in order to move ahead of Obama. Which I believe he can do. At least I hope he can, for the sake of this great country.
That debate I thought was so entertaining and at the same time very informative. Sarah showed to the American public that she is not this stupid bimbo that the left side wants everyone to believe. She is a tax cutter for the middle class and she is tough on her own party. These are things that are in the record books, so they are indisputable. Where as everything that Obama is promising to the folks is not proven, actually it is proven to be the opposite.
It will be interesting to see how the second debate goes with McCain.
