Those Wacky Birthers!

Ohhh those wacky kooky birthers are getting their time in the limelight.

What is a birther? Well to hear the left and many in the media it's some "nut job" claiming Barack Obama is not a "natural born" citizen.

Why should anyone even question the fact? I mean his birth certificate was even posted on the Internet. Holy shit! It's on the Internet then it must be true. Even press secretary Robert Gibbs laughed and said what do you guys want it's on the Internet. Actually what's on the Internet is a Certificate of Live Birth from the state of Hawaii, not the actual birth certificate.

Well, now there is another birth certificate on the Internet and this one says Obama was born in Kenya. It must be a fake, it's on the Internet...ooops we can't say that.

Now I can't say what's real and what's not real. The whole issue could be resolved easily if Obama would release the original birth certificate, then the nutty birthers could go back to something important like say...finding bigfoot. Can you say transparency?

Non-birthers? Oh you're not getting off that easy! I bet at little league all-star games you're the ones screaming "HEY that kid can't be 12 years old! Where's his birth certificate?". Or maybe you were one of the one's who thought the Chinese "actually" cheated in the Olympics.

This did happen to me when I played little league. The team we played had some gargantuan kid pitching with more facial hair than one of those Geico caveman commericals. What did we hear?, "HEY that kid's too old to play little league!". The next day the team had to bring the kids original birth certificate to prove he was 12 years old. He was, and everyone shut up.

So who is the nutcase?

Both documents are listed below, I'll let you decide which nutcase you want to be.

Obama can't close the deal

Think about this people.

Obama raised some $600 million questionable dollars. McCain took $80 million in public financing.

Obama had groups like ACORN operating illegally to register voters.

Obama has the mainstream media backing him 110%

Obama had the convenience of never taking tough questions and dodging the issues.

By all accounts he should be killing McCain.

Still in the end he can't close the deal. By closing the deal I mean on election day the election is still up in the air. 

Just food for thought...

Obama scolded?

Is it me or when Sen. John McCain said;

"Senator Obama I'm not President Bush. If you wanted to run against President Bush you should have run four years ago."

it was like a father scolding their kid.

Sen Barack Obama has run on this notion that McCain is President Bush and repeats the phrase "failed Bush administration" in his sleep probably.

But in two quick sentences McCain stopped that mantra right in it's tracks. I mean what else could Obama say? Maybe "Yes sir". 

I'm not sure but I don't think the failed Bush administration issue came up again.

I really expected McCain to say next "Now go to your room!".

Joe - he's more than just a plumber

Can you relate to Joe the plumber? One night after the last debate between Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain, Joe the plumber has become a popular guy. 

There's another side to Joe, however. He's the iconic middle class 'guy' or person working the American Dream. He works hard, lives in a regular neighborhood, looks like you and I, and is looking to buy his own business.

He's a wake up call to all of us. He's middle class America. I say that over and over to get my point across.

This is who Sen. Obama is trying to appeal to and if you saw the video (below) Sen. Obama crashed and burned on his answer to Joe's question. He told Joe, who works hard and wants his own business, that he wants for everyone below Joe to share Joe's success and in order to do that Joe must give up part of what he's earned.

This is what redistribution of wealth is people. It's not taking from the super rich or big business, it's taking from those like Joe.

Below is a video of Joe the plumber.

Time is ticking and things can turn around. Get out and inform those who are undecided!

Here's a prediction - $249,999

If the unthinkable happens and Sen. Obama is (gulp) President, I think you will see a lot of small businesses and wealthy incomes go to $249,999.

Who really want 55% of their personal income taxed as it can under the Obama tax plan. Plus when you kick the bucket possibly giving 65% (estate tax) of what you have back to the government. Sorry Joe the plumber, stick to contracting.

Sen. Obama also wants to increase capital gains taxes. Hmmmm hello people. The market is down over 30% in the past year. There's not going to be any capital gains, in fact, the losses will carry over each year until used. So no revenue there either.

Most of the people who are making over $250,000 probably did it because they were smart. So my guess is they will certainly find every means (legally of course) to not increase their tax liability.

Saying we will increase taxes on the top 95% is a nice talking point to gain votes, I'm not real sure though how much more revenue it would actually bring in to cover Obama's spending increase

On a good note at least Sen Biden did say 5% of the people would be Patriotic!

Why the Wall Street Bailout Bill failed

I am posting this not knowing the final outcome of the "rescue plan" or "bailout bill" as it was initially called.  Will it finally pass? Probably, but that is not what this article is about.

This article is about "Why the Wall Street Bailout Bill" failed, as my title states. As we know the House of Representatives did not pass the first draft of the bill. The controversy of John McCain coming back to Washington or the Democrats trying to embarrasses McCain really is neither here nor there of why it failed the first time. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has even been criticized by bringing the thing to vote when there was no confirmation of enough votes. Still doesn't matter.

No, I it goes back to basic marketing. The bill was dubbed the "Wall Street Bailout Bill". How it got this name I don't know nor care but the American people heard this and went ballistic.

When mainstreet America hears Washington is going to "bailout" Wall Street to the tune of $700 billion, hell yeah they are going to raise cane. Yes, it's more complicated than that, but the average guy on the street remembers; "$700 billion","Wall Street","bailout".

Now of course, the bill has a much lighter tone, "rescue plan",  and is a little better received but I still think much of mainstreet is going to feel like this bill was shoved down their throat.

So to the guys in Washington. Before you try to sell something to the American people do a little bit of marketing beforehand. Even if you didn't come up with the term "Bailout Wall Street" make sure you have a user-friendly name and marketing plan before going public.

Geeeez the "Wall Street Bail Out Plan". Why not call it "stick the American people for $2300 plan" or "Hell, let your kids pay for it plan" or better yet "Let's help the crooks on Wall Street plan".

Ohhhh please comment!

later - jag
