hello america!!! you bet all your chips on a party that sues states to keep them from mandating id cards & wants stronger gun control & yet, allows the transfer of sophisticated weaponry to egypt...http://www.thecommentator.com/article/2627/gun_control_usa_but_f_16s_for_the_muslim_brotherhood if you care to remember, at one time, egypt was our friend & was somewhat stable & then came the 'arab spring'.
we can't close our borders; we can't be truthful about letting guns walk to mexico; we can't be truthful about why american lives were lost in benghazi but hey, we have plenty of time for this...http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/01/31/us-modelo-abi-antitrust-idUSBRE90U0X620130131
we also don't have time to be truthful why so many 'obama funded green projects' failed & yet, we can do this...http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/02/01/lawmakers-press-for-answers-assurances-after-sale-us-company-to-chinese-rival/
we have become a nation of contradictions...http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/02/01/us-workforce-shrinks-ages-in-obamas-first-term/ we need jobs more than we need anything else & yet, the very 'obama-hand-picked' group of people that were brought together to help us is going to become a thing of the past...

how can one talk about female equality & then support a country where the females have no rights? how can one talk about keeping us safe & then do nothing but talk to those countries hell-bent on building nukes? how can one say an oath on the HOLY BIBLE & then allows GOD, prayers & related symbols to be stripped from the public view?

A VERY BLEAK FUTURE LOOMS!!!
hello america!!! have you ever noticed that when our national unemployment rate lowers by .01%, they say it 'dropped'; they say it 'fell'; they say it 'shows promise for our future' however, when the rate rises by .01%, they say it is 'essentially unchanged'. i still think the depart of bls should be thoroughly investigated to account for their reporting methods. here is the bls's report...http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm
people of color voted overwhelmingly for obama & have very little to show for it. obama is entering his 5th year so, that 'give him more time' excuse doesn't work. here is where people of color stand nationally in the jobs picture...http://www.nationaljournal.com/thenextamerica/economy/jobs-report-employment-remains-scarce-for-minorities-20130201 jobs have never been 'big' on obamas screen &, whenever he talks about jobs growth, he starts counting after his 1st 15 months in office & that's why the numbers seem so good &, other than foxnews, the rest of the media (& you) won't challenge him on this. i have, i am &, i will continue to challenge his math &, what makes this so sweet is: i'm 100% correct. you just can't be in office for 48 months but only count the last 32 of them &, to do so, is to lie.
speaking of lies::::when obama was campaigning for re-election, he kept saying how well the manufacturing market was doing &, i was on here challenging him. this market has been on a down-fall ever since the summer & obama knew it...http://money.cnn.com/2013/02/01/news/economy/manufacturing-jobs/index.html?iid=HP_LN
hey good people, please read this & then tell me how you will afford it...http://cnsnews.com/news/article/irs-cheapest-obamacare-plan-will-be-20000-family &, for those of you that think you'll get around being covered, guess what???http://www.factcheck.org/2012/06/how-much-is-the-obamacare-tax/ when you don't pay your taxes & they catch up with you, you go to jail so, keep a very open mind when they say they're not out to jail you...

& 4 PLUS YEARS LATER, IT'S JUST NOT GETTING ANY BETTER!!!
hello america!!! let's start with yesterday's jobless claims---i don't care who spins the numbers or the reason for them, they are not good...http://www.dol.gov/opa/media/press/eta/ui/current.htm
&, this is the vaunted, obama hand-picked jobs council that has not done anything to help america get back to work because obama rejected all of their suggestions from day one...http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/01/31/obama-jobs-council-shutting-down-thursday/
now, how could i continue without bringing more recently found negatives about obamacare into the fray. i find the comments from the whitehouse to be somewhat disturbing because the dems wrote the bill, obama made all those 'backroom deals' & signed the bill into law. to blame congress for the writing of the bill (2,000 plus pages) & then force it through both chambers without ample time to read it is one thing:::for obama to have signed it without fully reading it is another...http://www.wwlp.com/dpp/news/national/Some-families-to-be-priced-out-of-health-overhaul_47997491
can you remember obama campaigning in michigan telling us how his auto-bailout was helping the state? so why do we have this???http://www.nbcnews.com/business/stuck-reverse-detroit-edges-closer-bankruptcy-1C8149698
if you can remember the above, you should also be able to recall obama telling you how the economy was bouncing back...well, it bounced but, it's bouncing backwards...http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324156204578273611039517142.html
yeah, i know, give him more time. wait a minute, he's going into his 5th year so don't me that crap. oh, i almost forgot...there's this 'not-so-good-news'...http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324039504578263772492524536.html

YOU SHOULD READ THIS & BE ASHAMED!!!
hello america!!! this country got all bent out of shape over the senseless killings at sandy hook elementary school (20 children & 8 adults) & the incident went straight to the whitehouse. what bothers me the most is, last year, chicago had 500 plus violent killings &, 270 plus of them were children--facebook & twitter were silent. the vast majority of those killings were of people of color & again--facebook & twitter were silent. here it is, 31 days into a new year & chicago already has 40 killings &, facebook & twitter are silent. here's the latest one which could be anyone of our children. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/ct-met-hadiya-pendleton-20130131,0,4361139.story
i call it like i see it: 500 plus killings (mostly people of color) & you didn't hear crap from obama, the dems, the repubs. 500 plus people killed in 1 year & there was no cry for gun control. 28 people were killed (mostly white) & the incident has gone world-wide. do you mean to tell me that those 28 deaths are more important then the 500 plus? must be, because i can't remember anybody on my facebook asking us to pray for the children of chicago...both black's & latino's asked for prayers for sandy hook & didn't say crap about their own people. &, up until now, obama never said anything about chicago.....go figure.
look, i really don't care where you stand on gun control but, everything i've been hearing from obama & the dems in congress is definitely not the answer...their actions simply go to inserting more regulations. stricter background checks may only weed out a few from obtaining a gun legally &, mandating that you can only have 7 rounds in a magazine will only be obeyed by the lawful. be real, the guns & bullets are out there if you really want them-no id card needed. on the other side, the approach they're going to take concerning 'mental health' is going to 'negatively brand' people for the rest of their life...if you can't be trusted to buy a gun, you'll not be trusted to drive & you won't trust them to work next to you.
stiffer penalties just don't work. we already have a 3-strike law on the books that doesn't work. we have stiffer laws for drug offenders that don't work. the laws for rape & burglaries don't hinder those that want to take what they want. hell, prisoners make their own deadly weapons in our prisons.
prisons are not the answer: according to the us depart of justice/bureau of justice statistics report (11 dec 2011), 10,005 prison deaths (not all of them homicides) were reported between 2000-2009 so, jail alone is not the answer. hell, at the end of 2011, we had 6,977,700 offenders either locked up, on probation or, on parole.
way back on 20 aug 1986, a postal worker shot & killed 14 co-workers, wounded 6 others & took his own life & remember, he did it with two .45 cal pistols. & there are reports of postal workers going 'postal' starting back in 1983 so, deaths by violence goes back a ways.
i find it strange that we can ask for prayers for the victims of sandy hook (vastly white) & not ask for prayers for our own.........makes me wonder where you get your news from.........

WHO DID YOU THINK WAS GOING TO PAY FOR IT???
hello america!!! it's really amazing that after all this time, we're still finding new items of concern in obamacare. such as...http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-204_162-57565787/older-smokers-priced-out-of-obamacare/.....well, the choices are simple; give up smoking, pay the increase or, just don't get coverage & pay the fine/tax................
while you're trying to adjust to the above, try adjusting to the fact that somewhere, somehow, you're going to help pay for obamacare if you're legally working. in a nutshell: your employers & insurance providers are simply not going to absorb all the added costs & taxes that obamacare imposes on them---they are going to pass them on to you &, hey, here's another one to get ready for...http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57558392/health-care-law-surprise-$63-per-person-fee-for-three-years/.
your check is about is to be stretched like never before---&, if you didn't notice it before, compare your december 2012 check with your 2013 checks & you'll notice that they are taking 2% more for social security tax. obama raised your taxes on 1 jan 2013 by allowing the social security with-holding tax to rise from 4.2% to 6.2%.
the $63 shouldn't even bother you. after all, it's supposed to go to coverage for those with pre-existing conditions &, you were all for that before, when you didn't know it was going to cost you.
between now & 2014, premiums are going up & the costs are going to be passed directly to you &, the bad thing is, i'm not even talking about the additional $63...
so, before you get to blaming me, look at this: the costs for goods & services are steadily rising; your food bill is rising; your taxes increased; your healthcare premiums are about to rise; you have another $63 to pay out; there are additional costs for obamacare that will also be passed on to you; & guess what, the dems want to raise another trillion dollars in taxes....................................

AFFORDABLE??? HOW??? WHEN??? FOR WHO???
hello america!!! color me stupid. obamacare was supposed to make healthcare affordable however, the premiums are steadily increasing &, what's even worse is, the full law won't go into effect until 2014. while many of you applauded when obamacare was passed, you never listened to those that opposed it & yet, what the opponents said, has come true: the costs have increased & will continue to do so; several states will oft out of it as have (& will) business's; it will lead to a negative impact on employment; when all is said & done, 30 plus million americans will still not be covered.....
just for fun i went online & compared prices for what it would cost me to obtain my own 'single smoker' coverage. here are the 'AFFORDABLE' numbers for just one person::::::::::
capital blue cross plan with a $5,000 deductible---$220 per month ($2,640 per year)---$30 per office visit---$16-$35 per month to add dental---$13 per month to add vision---$19-$36 per month to add accident benefit---$274-$307 per month to add critical illness. just using the base prices, i'm at $572 per month & i don't even have a clue as to who my doctor will be. $6,864 per year.......WOW!!!!
now i'm sure that i could shop around a little more & find a cheaper plan but, it won't have everything i want covered.
if you make $30,000 per year & have to get your own coverage, you're screwed. you do the math & then tell me how it's affordable::::::
the following figures are base numbers & will fluctuate depending on your individual situations:
$30,000 per year minus 22% tax ($6,600) equals $23,400 minus rent/mortgage ($800 per month/$9,600 per year) leaves you $13,800 to play with---car payment & insurance ($300 per month/$3,600 per year) leaves you $10,200 to play with---utilities/cable/phone ($280 per month/$3,380 per year) leave you $6,840 to play with---gasoline ($120 per month/$1,440 per year) leaves you $5,500 to play with---essentials like food, clothing, etc ($250 per month/$3,000 per year) leaves you $2,400 to play with---we're going to eat that $2,500 up like this---paying past due bills, pets, car/home repairs, etc leaving you in the minus because you've had to borrow to make ends meet. WHERE IN THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO COME UP WITH YOUR HEALTHCARE COVERAGE PREMIUMS???
$30,000 per year means you make to much for obamacare or foodstamps but, if you don't get approved gov't healthcare coverage, you'll get a $95 fine the first year you don't have it &, a $ 300 plus fine the second time. &, you're in the middle-class section. so glad we have people in office looking out for you.
by the way, as of this past jan 1st, your $30,000 per year was just hit with a 2% social security tax increase so, in reality, you're taking home even less---about $11.50 a week less/$600 a year less.

$30,000 per year means you make to much for obamacare or foodstamps but, if you don't get approved gov't healthcare coverage, you'll get a $95 fine the first year you don't have it &, a $ 300 plus fine the second time. &, you're in the middle-class section. so glad we have people in office looking out for you.
by the way, as of this past jan 1st, your $30,000 per year was just hit with a 2% social security tax increase so, in reality, you're taking home even less---about $11.50 a week less/$600 a year less.
