WhatUwish4: I just went back and looked at the comments.

WhatUwish4: Don't Believe Obama's Ads, Romney Is A Middle Class Tax Cutter
"Barack Obama brazenly fabricates Mitt Romney’s tax proposals, pouring millions into advertising claiming those proposals would increase taxes by $2,000 a year on the average middle class family. That is how he debates a Romney tax plan that only cuts taxes on the middle class, repeatedly, with no middle class tax increase of any sort."
The truth from a genuine american hero! Little Bush and Cheney just can't hide. Powell knows war mongers and shameless liars like Romney when he sees them!
WhatUwish4: CBO Confirms: Obamacare Raises Taxes on Middle Class
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office on Wednesday released a report estimating that 6 million people would be subject to the Obamacare tax, approximating $7 billion in taxes in 2016 with each of the 6 million people paying at least $695.
As the Washington Examiner notes, most of those 6 million are in the middle class, with 4.7 million having incomes “500 percent of the federal poverty level,” which the CBO projects will be “$60,000 for individuals and $123,000 for families of four by 2016.”
The CBO describes the Obamacare tax as: "the greater of: a flat dollar amount per person that rises to $695 in 2016 and is indexed by inflation thereafter (the penalty for children will be half that amount and an overall cap will apply to family payments); or a percentage of the household's income that rises to 2.5 percent for 2016 and subsequent years (also subject to a cap)."
In 2008, Obama pledged “no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase -- not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes."
The Supreme Court, by a 5-4 vote, ruled Obamacare was constitutional because it was a tax and, in so doing, ensured one of Obama's central promises from 2008 was broken.

Exactly Raphael! Good to see you bro!
Right on and VERY Expected endorsement since no other Repulican vip have Ever been as embarrased as Collin Powell, being forced to Lie on open tv showing stupid drawings of WMD and stuff which have NEVER existed any way! Thë man knew it was wrong, and the man had to obey his butthead so called commandor in chief which have NEVER been elected any way... and The man is the very deifnition of HONOR, and The man loves and honors his beloved country!
Romney is beginning to pull away. It is not a done deal yet. But he is on a upward track.....momentum is his. His base is solidifying.....Obama's is breaking.
Frank Tanabee...the 93 yo Japanese American and WWII soldier that was mentioned here.
Has passed away.
The question now is will his submitted vote count?
It depends on how fast the State of Hawii received his death certificate. If they receive it before the Nov election. They will find his ballot and discard it. If not it will be counted.
No one knows how this Patriotic American voted. His family is honoring his request to remain silent on his vote.
WhatUwish4: Like Romney told Obama, Dude.... you're entitled to your own airplane and your own house but not your own facts.
romney has an elevator that carries his cars to his bedroom, he spray tans daily like Paris Hilton Colin Powell nails Romney as a shameless liar and war monger.

Rest in Peace Mr. Tanabee 442nd forever.....
According to this article Tom, it's more then likely that his vote will be counted.
Mr. Tanabee was proud to be an American veteran and I am and thankful to him and his family for his service to our country.

I guess Colin Powell should mail in his REP party card......
I hope so. The family said he never missed a election and making a vote in his entire adult life. That even here, he studied the issues and the candidates running....

Morning WhatUWish4.....happy Sandy day...... don't get blowin away. Going to be brisky day with winds. We have had some power lines go down in Volusia County.
Time to declare a emergency for FED funding, I think......in fact with the election only 11 days. A great time!
Here is something funny to think about. President Obama can fly down here next to a hurricane. For a rally in Miami. But he cannot risk the DEM faithful in the Charlotte Stadium to maybe thunderstorm.....
I was thinking yesterday about this election and how funny it is that even though Obamacare has been touted as Obama "Key Signature Legislation," the crown-jewel of his presidency - he has barely uttered a peep about this "big f###ing deal" (to use Joe Biden's words).
I wonder why? You would think Obama would be flapping his wings and crowing from the rooftops...... but when it comes to Obamacare, you can hear a pin drop.
They know that the ACA rings right up there with the infamous words like ...."The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor today"......"The White House is being burned by the British"....."Santa Anna just took the Alamo".....and my favorite..."Congress meets today"
Pollsters have asked Americans hundreds of questions about the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in recent years. You can boil down all of that data into six charts — and we do just that below. Enjoy!
1. Law never gained majority support
Fewer than half of Americans have supported the law in every major poll since its passage. A significant portion of this opposition comes from those who say the law did not go far enough in changing the U.S. health-care system. Looked at another way, the law has been tarred and feathered from the left and the right.
2. Partisanship reigned from day one
Less than a month after the ACA was signed into law, Republicans and Democrats took sharply opposing positions on the law. The partisan divide has shrunk slightly since then, but the basic storyline remains the same: Democrats like the law, Republicans despise it and independents tilt against it. (Kaiser Family Foundation tracking polls)
3. Individual mandate is a clunker, the rest of law is popular
Despite its lagging overall ratings, support for most components of the law do achieve majority support. At least six in 10 support requiring insurance companies to provide coverage to people with preexisting conditions, expand Medicaid and close the Medicare “doughnut hole,” according to an April Kaiser Family Foundation poll. The individual mandate – a centerpiece of constitutional challenges to the law that the Supreme Court decides on today – is a complete clunker. Just 30 percent of Americans had a favorable view of requiring people to have health insurance by 2014 or else pay a fine.
4. Knowledge lacking, rumors persist
The Affordable Care Act is a complicated piece of legislation, but as the Kaiser Family Foundation’s Drew Altman pointed out last summer, most people agree it will help people who are currently uninsured. But Kaiser’s polling finds only three in 10 uninsured Americans ages 18 to 64 think it will help their situation.
“Death panel” rumors have also stuck, however. More than one in three Americans in a March KFF poll said (incorrectly) that the law will empower a government panel to “make decisions about end-of-life care for people on Medicare.” In addition, 52 percent think the law creates a new government-run insurance plan. The so called public option, of course, was scuttled before the final bill was passed. (Kaiser Family Foundation poll, August 2011) 5. Most people won’t be happy
Fewer than half of Americans will be pleased no matter whether the Supreme Court validates the law, throws out the highly unpopular individual mandate or rejects the entire law, according to a June Pew poll.
The high court’s ability to lead is also in question: Just 40 percent of the public in an April Post-ABC poll said they expect the Court to rule on the basis of the law while 50 percent thought they would rely on partisan political views. The Court’s favorability ratings also hit a quarter-century low this year, according to Pew.
6. Health care is clearly a second tier voting issue in 2012
Health care will be the focus of today’s news, but it’s unlikely to be the top issue for voters in November. A 52 percent majority of Americans volunteered “the economy” or “jobs” as the single most important issue in their vote this year in a May Washington Post-ABC News poll. Health care came in second, but at just 7 percent. Health care will matter in 2012, but not nearly as much as the economy.
I would add a seventh point: We STILL don't know what's in it!
