hello america!!! call me a hater; call me an uncle tom; call me an idiot---i really don't care what you call me because the facts & the numbers back me up so, i can only wonder what that makes you &, i really don't care about that either. so, at the risk of pissing you off, let me get to it..........
if we had more people working, the fed gov't would collect more revenue---more revenue means that they would not have to borrow more money to pay their bills or for the services they now provide. they also would be able to pay down our national debt. so, in reality, jobs & our national debt go hand-in-hand. that said, obama is concentrating on raising the tax rates on those making $250,000 per year &, apparently you believe that's how we'll get out of this mess because you gave him a second term. how very wrong you are & here's why...........
obama just doesn't run the gov't like you run your home &, you can argue all you want but, if you lose your job, you cut back on your expenditures. sure, you might borrow a little here & there to make ends meet but, sooner or later, you know you'll have to stop the borrowing because, if you don't, the next job you get will be strictly to pay off the bills. you cut here, you cut there i.e; no more eating out, no more movie rentals, cut your cable bill back to basic, get rid of the car---you do what you have to while trying to make it to better days......
obama doesn't think like that. he continues to spend our money while refusing to make any cuts in spending. let's say he gets to raise the tax rates on the 1%'ers---that pays for the gov't to run for 8 lousy days. that's the easy part...now, we're faced with raising our national debt ceiling once again---guess we raise the gasoline tax to help out there. &, before you get your hopes up, that 'fiscal cliff' you keep hearing about is 31 days away---guess we can institute a mileage tax on car drivers to help pay for that.
our problem isn't in raising tax rates, our problem is spending combined with a lack of JOBS....
the new jobless claims number came out & it is 393,000. yeah, i know, we turned the corner. that's like the blind man telling the other man with no eyes at to 'look out'...check these jobless claims numbers out...
nov 1st, 363,000
nov 8th, 355,000---revised up to 361,000
nov 14th, 439,00---revised up to 451,000
nov 21st, 410,000---revised up to 416,000 &, there's today's
nov 29th, 393,000---which will be revised up next week &, please remember these figures are 1 week behind.......
anyway, from nov 8th-nov 29th we had 1,621,000 new jobless claims. the numbers released on dec 6th will complete the month of nov &, we'll be very close to two million new claims for the month of nov. if those people were working, the fed gov't would be receiving revenue from them in the form of taxes. local merchants would be receiving more business from them & paying their own fed taxes---loss of jobs affects us all across the board.
obama should be concentrating on putting america back to work instead of raising the tax rates on the 1%'ers that will end up filtering down to us.
still think i'm an idiot???

NOT A MANDATE!!!
hello america!!! while obama & company are quick to say america voted for the tax rate increase on those making $200,000 per year, i have to agree however, quit a few of them voted against it. obama & the dem senate retained their majority as did the rep controlled house...it was not the clear cut 'mandate' the dems are saying it was & does not grant them license to 'bully' america or the repubs into doing things their way or else. hell, here's the fact; out of 125,657,870 total votes cast &, you win by 4,516,190, you are being told that the country wants you to work together.

EYGPT'S A PROBLEM!!!
hello america!!! obama welcome egyptian morsi to office with welcome arms but, he may have made a big mistake. if the demonstrations continue in egypt, obama may be forced to completely backtrack on all things middle east. his strong active support is coming back to bite him &, he has only himself to blame for it.
this was 17 days ago...http://www.foxnews.com/world/2012/11/23/opponents-egypt-islamic-president-clash-with-backers-over-new-powers/
&, look at it now...http://news.yahoo.com/egypt-mass-protests-challenge-islamist-president-175352891.html
how many lives will be lost before obama jumps on the wagon either calling for stability or, calling for the other throw of president morsi? on the other hand, this is but another 'speedbump'
after all this time, obama just doesn't understand these middle east people &, for whatever reason, he ignores the fact that these country's have never been ruled by a democracy & probably never will. obamas middle east foreign policy is seriously flawed &, he doesn't know how to fix it.

SUCKED IN AGAIN!!!
hello america!!! well, it's too late to re-vote but, as you read the links below, the questions should be: 1, why are we just now hearing about these numbers? & 2, how in the hell is raising the taxes on just the rich going to help us?
the answer to #1 is; nobody seemed to have put all the numbers together or, if they did, they flat out lied to us. obama had to know because all of these numbers had to cross his desk so he'd know just how much money we need to pay our bills.
http://www.newsmax.com/newswidget/government-debt-burden-treasury/2012/11/27/id/465500?promo_code=F470-1&utm_source=Fox_Politics&utm_medium=nmwidget&utm_campaign=widgetphase2
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323353204578127374039087636.html?KEYWORDS=86+trillion+total+debt
we all know about the $16 trillion number &, apparently, our fed gov't decided that that is all we should know about. there is no way in hell that you or anybody like you can convince me that our treasury dep't didn't know the real amount of debt, nor can you convince me that they kept that info from obama.
the answer to #2 is: it doesn't. we just won't generate enough revenue if we only raise the tax rates on those making $200,000 or more. while it may seem to be a talking point that obama wants to make good on, charging the rich more just to help the middle class is not only wrong, it won't work. in truth, i believe it will have the opposite effect on america that obama & company refuse to accept...&, that is; it will hurt our job growth because it would effect everybody & every business making about $547.94 per day or, those making about $3,846.15 per week. that's a lot of small business's that are going to feel that pain & because of it, they will hire less. when you have to pay more, you're forced to do less.

WHAT A SURPRISE!!!
hello america!!! we knew what the muslim brotherhood was all about before they even visited the whitehouse this year. they said they would not have a horse in the presidential race & yet, their leader won. how is a surprise that will not change their ways? oh, i know. hilary clinton went over there & had a very successful conversation with somebody &, obama had conversations with somebody & both were glowing in their success---no matter how short-lived it turned out to be. i just can't understand why the following is a surprise...http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/11/23/egypt-president-usa-idUSL1E8MN4DI20121123
it seems that we will be forced to accept whatever obama & company tell us until the crap hits the fan & then, they go into 'super-spin' mode.....http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/29/world/middleeast/white-house-move-to-give-egypt-450-million-in-aid-meets-resistance.html
it's amazing how quickly things change...by the way, here's the article about the visit to the whitehouse.........http://www.politico.com/politico44/2012/04/muslim-brotherhood-delegation-meets-with-white-house-119647.html

IT'S CALLED BLACK!!!
hello america!!! here we go again; our 'so-called' black leaders are wishing for something that just isn't a part of reality...http://news.yahoo.com/black-voters-look-leverage-loyalty-081601828--election.html however, before i get into it, please allow me to ask these people, just how many times has obama openly spoke about 'black america'? for four years, we've all heard obama refer to latino's, middle-class &, the one percenter's. i just can't recall him talking about black america exclusively. in truth, he seems to have gone out of his way not to use any specific term that refers directly to blacks. please prove me wrong.
while these 'so-called' leaders may 'demand' a seat at the table, at best, it would only be a token seat. perhaps they fail to remember how obama 'dressed' them down at the black caucus this past september in a way he would not talk to white america &, they applauded him for saying the following...
"I expect all of you to march with me, and press on," Obama said. "... Stop complaining, stop grumbling, stop crying. We are going to press on. We've got work to do."
& just so you can't say i make this stuff up, here's obamas speech &, unless i'm blind & deaf, he mentioned black owned businesses & african americans once each...http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2011/09/25/president-obama-congressional-black-caucus-foundation-annual-dinner-march-me-and-pre
i have a big problem with being called an african american. yes, i'm black & perhaps my heritage can be traced back to africa but hell, i was born right here in the good ole USA & that makes me a 'black american'. golfer ernie els was born in africa & if he were to be granted american citizenship, he would be an african american. hopefully, you understand me.
while jobs should be the number one priority, infrastructure jobs usually go to those that are best trained to perform them. &, even here i have a big problem with obama & these leaders...how in the hell can those blacks & latino's get those jobs without that all-important valid id card you fought so hard to keep them from having? it's really quite simple (which is why you all missed it), no id---no job.
you talk about jobs but not cleaning up the black communities. you talk about education but not cleaning up the black communities. it's amazing that nobody wants to talk about the drugs, the gangs, the violence & crimes, the babies having babies at 13, 14, 15 years old that plague our communities. what's even more then amazing is: you offer no plans to help our communities. you can organize massive marches but you can't organize them where they are really needed.
here it is, four years later &, looking back at them, i can't see where obama has made a difference in the black community. unemployment is too high; the education level is too low; hope has turned to living on foodstamps, etc....
&, obama has four more years---to do what?

451,000, then 410,000---WHAT'S NEXT???
hello america!!! last weeks jobless claims has been revised from 439,000 to 451,000. this weeks new jobless claims is 410,000. if you remember, the gov't & others blamed the high numbers on superstorm sandy. while one might believe that business's could not open or get their employees in, the flip side of that is all the extra work the storm created...
well, i have some concerns---this is the retailers busiest time of the year with thanksgiving tomorrow & christmas right around the corner. so, hiring should have been up. the mail-order & internet business's even pick up. hell, fedex, ups & the post office hire extra employees for these times. everybody's geared up for black friday. so, there's got to be more to our high jobless claims then superstorm sandy...
let's see::::40 states & territories had an increase in claims while 13 had a decrease ; 3.34 million people (as of nov 10th) are collecting unemployment benefits; 2.19 million people (as of nov 3rd) are collecting emergency or extended benefits.
this is the labor dep't link...http://www.dol.gov/opa/media/press/eta/ui/current.htm#.UKzgGOTBGYU
you don't have to be a calculus major to know we have serious jobs problems &, regardless of who's doing the math, the numbers are horrible. for the past 4 years, we've all heard the rhetoric coming from obama & company that they are the only ones with the 'vision' to put america back to work. &, we all know that that 'vision' was applied to our problems &, here it is, 4 years later & we're told it takes more time...so , i guess we have to wait & see that which we already know---obama has no idea how to put us back to work but, he sounds so convincing & sincere when he says he does.........
