In the first polls since his declaration for gay and lesbian marriage....the NYTime Poll......has Romney moving to a 3 point lead over President Obama.
Rasmusscin has a Romney lead of 50 to 43 over Obama in a second poll after the big announcement on Gay/Lesbian marraiges.
Chen Guangcheng the blind Chinese dissent....placed a call to the House hearing room.
Chen's case has been picked up by a REP (R) Smith.
Chen told the assembled...."I am not a hero". His wife and children have been under defacto house arrest. His elder brother has been arrested. And his nephew has been beaten up by the Chinese security forces since his release from the US Embassy 10 days ago.
Chen who is contesting China one child one family law....is beocming more of a focal point en light of President Obama gay and lesbain marriage position.
The medical report is out on Zimmermman, the man accused of shooting T. Martin. Zimmermann had a broken nose and cuts on the back of his head. Injuries that would relate to having your head slammed into a concrete walk.
Zimmermann is facing 2nd degree murder charges on the incident.
A pair of illegal aliens were stopped for running a traffic signal in Texas town north of the border. When the police officer became suspicious and then searched the pick up......
he found .................27,000 rounds of M-16 ammo
Enough to supply a small battalion for a day of combat.
These are the nice friendlies south of the still open border that the Obama administration really does not mind being north of the border in the US.
Heck he and Holder were supplying them only a few months ago with the M-16s and other assault rifles used to fire off the 27,000 rounds of ammo. Fast and furious remember?
While south of the border. Things are looking pretty grim.
49 mutlilated....beheaded...behanded bodies were dumped on a Mexican town's entry. The be's because it makes it harder to track who the victims was. The Cartel gang war was never hotter. They are fighting over turf and entry routes into the US.
Yet our FED government is sueing the state of AZ....because it wants to stop criminal activities and criminals like that from entry into the US. It just filed a suit on Sherriff Joe because he was doing it work for them.
If Americans have to relie on the FED government for protection, and we clearly don't have a military base, border patrol office, or custom office in every mid and small town of America.....then the FED really cannot provide protection.
The FED would have never stopped the two illegals with the 27,000 rounds of ammo. How many deaths are in 27,000 rounds? Alot! 100s maybe. The FED were clueless to the 49 cartel that were killed in Mexico even. Else they would have sent the Mexican Federallies to stop it.
The Obama administration continues to play with fire. It is only a matter of time....the cartel drug war...comes north of the border. With two illegals hauling around 27,000 rounds of assault rifle ammo....maybe it already has.
One final point....so the bailout....was really nothing more than a government loan program to large failing firms? I do indeed think that was first the idea of Senator McCain......
But the economy did not grow. Sure banks and auto firms were saved. REP have found 32b of Obama spending that resulted in foreign job creation. Just like the Phillips light bulb story of earlier.
We are talking auto plants in Mexico, the Brazilian offshore oil funding, and other major infrastructure investment by the Obama administration into foreign government. All the while we have a 8+ unemployment.
Obama is overwatching a 'shrinking US economy'. He is part of the reason. He failed to get our energy industry going....when he had the chance to. They say the keystone pipeline is 30,000 jobs. We cannot use 30,000 jobs presently?
America is down sizing because of President Obama. NASA had to downsize directly because of his executive office decisions. Those decisions led to commericalization of space by wealth DEM supporters of Obama. So he kills the most prestigious Space Program in the history of the world, for his wealthy supporters benefit? So it also smacks of cronoyism.
The reason today, that a majority of American dislike the direction that the country is heading....is directly a result of these kinds of decisions by the Obama administration.
The Gay and Lesbian marriage issue is side issue tossed out the Obama administration to deflect from its economic nightmare.that has killed the dreams and aspirations of millions of Americans. So he endorses a minority issue at the expense of the welfare of the majority.
This entire thread of whom the next super power in the world reminds me....of our US college football and basketball seasonal polls.....to see who is number one. Then at the end you can have a head to head playoff tournament....that usually means the number one gets defeated.
In the world of politics and nuclear arnesal...is this a good mentality to have?
Say tomorrow China is number one......what do you want the US to do about it? We can take our aging B-52s and fly them into China airspace for a demonstration of aged nuclear might? I am sure the Chinese would just love that.
Is being number uno that important? But also is this what the world fears that the US will do if treasured position of the World's Biggest Super Power is lost to the Chinese?
Don't you think we have just a smidgen of more sense than that?
I will be honest with you. I don't mind a economic trade war with China over human rights issues at all. It is one I think that the US would win....both in world opinion in the flow of BOP and trading of goods.
But am not suggesting nuclear holocaust or military conflict either. To achieve human rights victories in China. Thought the idea of a Doctor Strangelove movie with Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, or other high dollar movie actor riding a nuc into Bejing.....does have a certain appeal.....
No one has really said this yet.....but ...consider.....
This rouge trader skinned Chase for 2b. Obama gave Chase how much for a bailout? Let me refresh your memory. A cool $25b. Which Chase Paid back in June 2009.
So?
So the 2b came straight from Chase operating funds since. Meaning? Meaning Chase is not as healthy as the FED inspectors are saying.
And if you have rouge traders in the other bailout banks? What then?
TTey??????? Have U already forgotten how hard skinned ur guys are fighting for removing any single regulations on the money sector, and have U already forgotten what shape America was left at becasue of ur guys way of taking care of the business generally and particulary regarding the economy?
President Obama is fighting for bringing on a real reform and lots of new regulations to make sure economical disaters does not happen this often and that,s Morgan case shows clearly how important a need for those reforms are.
But I know... election time and part of ur propoganda so
Did they only poll the gay and lesbian military? )))
Dude I have seen CiC Obama enter a room full of military.....near 1000 standing at attention. Not one applauded or even saluted. Get over it, the military and Obama............. are oil and water.))
Obama put additional bank regulations into place during the bank bailout of 2009. At the View today.....even he said that they should have worked to 'catch' this.
Opps they did not.
You are dealing with a rogue trader here. He is not going to go by your rules. He is going to skirt around them and avoid them. Looks like he did just that and now is sitting on a beach in Rio....with a cool 2b.
That reassures me greatly. Chase loses 2b...and Obama calls them a well managed bank.....LOL
Yes, I have some money in Chase.
Ummm....cracks in the black voting block just appearing on the gay/lesbian marraige announcement. President Obama has been calling black pastors to smooth things over. Most seem to be saying.....that he was mistaken to make the announcement.
As a real criticism of China, I would add, they are their own worst enemy, if they could only learn to become transparent and open, and show the world the real side of China, I truly believe they and the west could live in peaceful harmony. Just my honest opinion
Rizlared, Now you are being honest with us. I appreciate that. Because I also know that the Chinese government monitors social networking sites and blogging. Honesty is not something that they encourage.
China did not hack Google for no reason. Ask me someday and I will tell you why.))
I am not trying to 'put China down'. Just saying Communist China has some problems. As the US has problems. As the EU has problems. As Russia has problems.
Do I like the way China rules these outer regions and peoples? With a iron fist? No. I don't. I think down the road, that major revolutions comes from such kind of governance. That has been proven in history many times.
There are 55 subcultures in China. Yes, they all speak Mandrin. But so did both sides of the American Civil war commonly speak English. A common language does not necessarily means that a country will not develop issues to divide it.
Look at Chinese history for a moment. It is full of rebellions and civil wars. History unfortunately has many ways of repeating itself.
Do I want this for China? No. But when I see the repression going on in China. I don't see the ability to avoid it.
Only you can answer this one. But I bet I have the answer. Of the 55 subcultures of China, how many do you have in your classes? Or are most of your students from the Han group? Han is the most populace group in China.
See....in the US...I go into a class room...I see the rainbow of cultures and races sitting there getting the same education. Maybe not a good education by many of today's standards)).....but all get the same quality education.
You are a good instructor, Riz. I can tell by your post. But a Communist party will take the best and use it for the elite class of people benefit. Today, the Han Chinese are that elite group. My bet is you don't see many of the 55 sub cultures in your classroom.
This is the kind of internal stuff that fractured the Soviet Union. The non card Russians saw the Communist card carrier Russians reaping the benefits of society. They saw the Dachua on the Black Sea coast. I see the Chinese government villas on satellite imagery sitting along side the impoverished sections of Chinese cities.
I may be wrong there. But if not....you are seeing educational bias in Communist China. You are seeing a 'elite wealthy class' emerge in Communist China.
I will give you another.
China has strict gun control. China policy line says it does not want to be a 'gun culture like the US'. OK....but also China does not want those 55 subcultures being armed.
China has a pretty good crime rate. Don't the Chinese people have a right to bear arms to defend themselves? By the way, it was Mao that imposed gun control on them in 1966. But these gun controls have not stopped gun violence in the country.
China has no ethical problem in exporting millions of AK-47 around the globe. Annually the US gets about 500,000 of them. So they don't mind making a buck from them. Or to help out a civil war someplace. But back in China, it is no guns. But they have a major illegal gun black market going on.
ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=51921
By the way....if China surpasses the US as the world's biggest economy. Big deal. 1B people should out consume and out produce 312m people. It is only logical.
But just read were China economy is slowing. Greatly. The Chinese government moved 63b into banks to make government loans to bailout failing businesses or to pay off communist party members....which ever gets to the money first.))
I know every economy has swings. But this is a pretty big swing. Seems China is not getting the foreign orders (foreign Austerity) and one of its main oil supplier (Iran) has troubles in making deliveries. (Gee I wonder how that happened.)
Who care about healthcare anymore, Dude? You are a issue late and day short on the main debate in the country.
We got a gay President. Well maybe might have a gay President.
Several major magazines are running cover stories of President Obama being the first 'gay' President. Newsweek and New Yorker. Is he gay or is he not gay? Is the question of the day.
President Obama brought tears to gay reporter of Newsweek, that placed the President with a multi colored halo over his head in the cover story. New Yorker has the White House decked out gay multi colors pillars.
Media is going back to Chicago and Hawii to dig deeper into his past. Remember in his one book....his female girlfriends were a 'composite'. Pretty to track down composite girl friends.
Yep the entire 3 and 1/2 years of the Obama administration wraps up into a 5 minute President declaration for gay marriages. This for the benefit of 700,000 to 4,000,000 persons of a 312,000,000 person country. What a waste of 3 and 1/2 years.
But it still is the economy stupid. Maybe the country can get out of the debt mess made by the DEMs by selling multi colored gay flags and bolts of cloth for decorating the Washington Monuments. Or better to decorate on the faces of four president on Mount Rushmore......the UN might like that and let us keep it then.
More intelligence that Iran is building a bomb came out of Iran.
Drawing of a explosive test chamber came out of the country. These chamber measure the nuetrons release during tests. Iran has neither denied or said it had such a chamber in the past.
A senior IEAO official, says he thinks the drawing is accurate. Ollie Heinonen a IEAO official in charge of Iran file.....says he has seen photos of the same.
A building that houses the chamber is at the Parchin military base....this is the the Iran refused IEAO inspectors access too.
The state of California.....budget deficit increased to 16b. This is up from 9.2b in only January 2012.
Suddenly DEM Gov Brown....is talking.......cuts. Austerity, Baby. With the big capitol A.
I quote Gov. Brown "This means we will have to go much further and make cuts far greater than what I asked for at the beginning of the year."
While in Wisconsin. Gov. Walker....who is facing a recall vote....because? Because he went on a Austerity budget, years ago. And got flack from the Unions and DEM. The problem for DEM here? The austerity program worked, Gov. Brown has the Wisconsin financial house in order.
So again REP officials lead in getting their financial houses in order. While DEM attempt to spend their way out of financial holes. Then like Governor Brown realize it is hard budget cutbacks that have to be done.
China has now arrested the nephew of the blind dissent, Chen. Chen says China continues to breach the agreement made with the Obama administration on his case.
Chew said that Chinese police and military assaulted his brother's house to arrest his nephew. They beat him so badly, that for three hours later he was still bleeding.
It appears as if Chen's nephew had something to do with his escape to the US embassy earlier.
Funny how Dude posts and trashes on rich RNC funders is posted before the earlier article about gays being used to bash them was posted. Did you teach the gays how to political bash, Dude? Or just know about the coming story before it was made public?
President Obama's gay supporters have begun to single out Romney donators.....to first embroil them in a gay bashing accusations.....then the DNC and the Government turns private investigators loose on them.
It is form of high pressure political extortion.
It began several months ago....as 8 wealthy Romney supporters...named the Truth Team ....gave large donations to Romney PACs. As soon as the legal campaign donations were made, gays began to trash them online. Now the 8 are on a "Obama enemy list."
So there is some 'evidence to anti gay' activity by the eight. But in reality, they all run respected and honest businesses.
The next phase after the online tirades and rhants have been made. Is for the DNC to hire private investigators that do deep background checks into the men. Looking at divorces, civil suits and any responses to the online venom that has been laid out.....all to prove the online claims of Obama supporting gays.
This not a fair and justice practice of politics or government. But rather political witchunts started by gays that have bought the administration endorsement of the gay marriage. But then it becomes fully corrupt extortion as the DNC hires private investigators to continue the witchunt.
So we find the real reason President's backing of gay and lesbian marriages. To use them as political instigators for extortion of REP and REP donators an dkeep them from giving large donations to his campaign........a concept so baised and unfair....it is hard to imagine it being done in the United States.
Calling for "common sense" solutions to the economic problem of the country....President Obama stumbled into a beehive of Yahoo responders.
Because the common are funnier and more interesting than the 'common sense" offered by the Preisdent. This post is about the repsonses.
I quote a few
From Rebecca..."how about cutting the salaries of politicans. I do means all of them! I would certain vote for someone that says the "buck stops here.....cut my salary and then can talk about it"....264 and 2 for Rebecca comment
From Joe..."haven't you heard. Common sense was outlawed in Washington, DC fifty years ago."...............989 and 21
From Curly..."It is 1000 times better to have common sense without education than to have a educations without common sense."...... 103 and 1
My favorite.....))
From Dthunderchicken...."Wouldn't is not just be commons sense for the government to stop spending more than it takes in?" 764 and 32
Clearly from these responses of President Obama's appeal to use common sense to fix the economy mess of the last years....that American public is not listening. Washington did not listen to them earlier in this administration and now the chickens are coming home to roost.
