&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;It’s No 2008 Two Peat for Barack Obama; 2012 Electoral Votes
Favoring Mitt Romney, Skyrocketing Favorability,&amp;nbsp;Closing in on Women’s
Gap &amp;amp; Majority Democratic Religious Faith, Support that McCain 2008 Never Had:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
By Marc Chamot&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
President Barack Obama’s consistent attacks on Mitt Romney, instead
of talking about his past four years accomplishments in a tanking jobs economy,
or formulating plans for Americas’ future, Mitt Romney’s favorability is skyrocketing
upwards, while Obama’s declining.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Is it going to be another electoral repeat of 2008 for Barack
Obama? Not quite, Obama is being blown away at the polls. Key bloc of voters,
who were for Obama, no more, presidential GOP candidate Mitt Romney’s
popularity stock is rising. What was once 34% earlier in the year and it’s now at
48% favorability ratings according to polls. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/DC-Decoder/Decoder-Wire/2012/0604/Why-are-Mitt-Romney-s-favorables-rising"&gt;Mitt
Romney’s favorability rising; &lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;“&lt;a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Mitt+Romney" target="_self"&gt;Mitt
Romney&lt;/a&gt;’s reputation with&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/United+States" target="_self"&gt;US&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;voters
appears to be on the rise. That’s the implication of a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/06/04/poll-romneys-favorable-rating-jumps-but-obama-still-more-popular/" target="_blank"&gt;new CNN poll&lt;/a&gt;, anyway, which shows that Mr. Romney’s
favorable rating has jumped from 34 percent in February to 48 percent today.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Forty two percent of
respondents to the CNN/ORC International survey say they have an unfavorable
view of the presumptive&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/U.S.+Republican+Party" target="_self"&gt;GOP&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;nominee.
And&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Barack+Obama" target="_self"&gt;President Obama&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;still leads Romney in this particular
rating race – his favorability number is 56 percent.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;But voters’ views of
Romney are becoming more positive at a time when the Obama campaign is doing
its best to define him in a negative light. Attacks on Romney’s record at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Bain+Capital+LLC" target="_self"&gt;Bain
Capital&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;filled the political blogosphere there for a few weeks. Now
the Obama camp is hitting Romney’s record at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Massachusetts" target="_self"&gt;Massachusetts&lt;/a&gt;
governor. What’s going on? After all, this CNN poll isn’t alone – as&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/DC-Decoder/Decoder-Wire/2012/0601/Why-Mitt-Romney-had-a-good-month" target="_blank"&gt;we pointed out last week&lt;/a&gt;, a Gallup survey now has him at a
50 percent favorable rating.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Obama is also losing two key voting groups that overwhelmed
supported him in 2008. &amp;nbsp;Besides women’s
favorability gaps closing in for Mitt Romney, the casual church goers, and religious
groups have abandoned Obama and Democrats in large numbers over gay marriage.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
The huge advantage Obama once had with women voters has
closed in; &lt;i&gt;“Women are flocking to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://bostonherald.com/search/?topic=Mitt+Romney"&gt;Mitt Romney&lt;/a&gt;, whose
sudden popularity with the ladies is coming at the expense of President Obama —
or at least that is what the headlines about recent presidential poll numbers
would have you believe.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;But before we pin a
Romney campaign button on Gloria Steinem, let’s take a closer look at what’s
going on.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;It is true that
Wednesday’s Washington Post/ABC News poll showed Romney enjoying a 13 percent
boost in popularity among women, while the president’s favorability rating
among women dipped by 7 percent.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Most of Romney’s gains were among unmarried
women, a group he has struggled with.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;But Romney, whose 40
percent overall favorability rating among women still lags behind Obama’s 51
percent, isn’t experiencing a sudden, unexpected influx in female support, and
he’s certainly not picking off female Obama supporters. He’s benefiting from
the expected.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
And regular Democratic religious voters, key voting bloc who
helped propel Obama into the White House are leaving in droves. &lt;a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/06/04/2831698/democratic-faith-see-waning-support.html"&gt;Democratic
faith see waning support for Obama&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;“In
2008, Barack Obama took aim at the "pew gap," the overwhelming
Republican edge among voters who regularly attend church.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The Democratic
presidential nominee came nowhere near closing it, but he didn't have to. He
just needed an extra percentage point or two among traditional GOP
constituents, and he got it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The Democratic
National Committee is promising a repeat performance in 2012. But some
religious leaders and scholars who backed Obama in 2008 are skeptical. They say
the Democrats have, through neglect and lack of focus, squandered the
substantial gains they made with religious moderates and worry it will hurt
Obama in a tight race against Republican Mitt Romney.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The DNC's faith
outreach director, the Rev. Derrick Harkins, said the party has strong
relationships with religious groups. But as evidence of their concerns, critics
point to the public debate that followed Obama's endorsement of gay marriage, a
decision the president said was based in part on his Christian faith.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;No prominent
clergyperson was sent out as a surrogate by the administration to explain the
religious argument in favor of same-sex.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Just five months before the presidential elections,&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;Mitt Romney is having awesome poll
numbers that John McCain would envy in 2008. &amp;nbsp;John McCain did not have these kinds of tremendous
electoral numbers against Obama going into the 2008 elections. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Mathematically, if the millions GOP/Republicans come out in full
force this time to vote for Romney, those who did not turn out in 2008, and who
stayed home instead, with current massive losses of white voters, and women
voters gap closing and religious voters voting for Romney, it would be
virtually impossible for Barack Obama to replicate those same electoral numbers
he had in 2008 again. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Pollsters are talking about votes being closer in 2012; I’m
talking about a landslide victory for Mitt Romney and a landslide defeat for Barack
Hussein Obama, worse defeat for Obama than former 1978 presidential
re-elections of Jimmy Carter against Republican Ronald Reagan. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Not only the economy is in the tank, worse than 1977 Jimmy
Carter, it is a total disaster after four years of inept Obama, and lest not
forget the Wisconsin’s Republican Scott Walker re-call election tomorrow, and U.S.
Supreme Court’s coming out with two key decisions, rulings that could virtually
put Obama against the wall, and completely destroy his re-election chances with
the Obamacare initiative, and with the tough Arizona anti-illegal immigration’s
policies that is due out later this month. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9196003358708575261-629360138327608249?l=marcchamot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
By Marc Chamot&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
A Jimmy Carter repeat and wannabe, Barack Obama’s gamble
with Green jobs over carbon emitting industries was a big loser in jobs
creations.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
The Department of Labor reported that employers had created
only 69,000 jobs in May. Together, the news fueled fears that the economy is
heading in the wrong direction under Obama's stewardship.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/romney-may-jobs-report/2012/06/01/id/440892?s=al&amp;amp;promo_code=F15C-1"&gt;Romney
Calls May Jobs Report 'Devastating News'&lt;/a&gt; “&lt;i&gt;Romney moved quickly to take political advantage of the Labor
Department's report that U.S. unemployment had moved up slightly to 8.2 percent
in May from 8.1 percent, with the economy adding only 69,000 jobs for the
month, far fewer than anticipated.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;“Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney
called a disappointing U.S. jobs report for May "devastating news" on
Friday and a sign that President Barack Obama's economic policies have failed.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"Today's weak
jobs report is devastating news for American workers and American
families," he said in a statement.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;He called the May
report "a harsh indictment of the President's handling of the
economy."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"It is now clear
to everyone that President Obama's policies have failed to achieve their goals
and that the Obama economy is crushing America's middle class. The president's
re-election slogan may be 'forward,' but it seems like we've been moving
backward," he said.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
And Wall Street, upon hearing this disastrous jobs report
the Dow Jones sank 275 points on bleak jobs report. The Dow Jones industrial
average closed down 275 points at 12,118 today, its biggest decline since last November.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.newsmax.com/Headline/obama-west-jobs-unemployment/2012/06/01/id/440927?s=al&amp;amp;promo_code=F15C-1"&gt;“I
think that the president’s policies are failing the American people,”&lt;/a&gt; &lt;i&gt;“explained Mr. West. “We have now hit 40
consecutive months of unemployment in the United States of America at or above
8 percent.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney quickly labeled the jobs numbers
“devastating news for American workers and American families,” while House
Speaker John Boehner said it’s clear that Americans are in a “desperate spot.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;“It is now clear to
everyone that President Obama’s policies have failed to achieve their goals and
that the Obama economy is crushing America’s middle class,” Romney said.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
There are no jobs with Barack Obama’s current policies. President
Obama’s flirtatious and fiascos’, with Green industries have turned out to be a
big loser for his administration. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Therefore, by putting excessive taxes and fees on carbon
related industries and chasing them out of the country and sending them to
China was the death knell for jobs in America. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
The Bottom line, Obama Green strategies for America jobs
creations was a total failure and it may cost him the presidency in five months.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Barack Obama’s gravest errors of his presidency and what may
kill it for Barack Obama 2012; is the wanton and out of control illegal immigrants he refuses to deal with, such as removing 11 million non-taxpaying
and American jobs thieving illegal immigrants. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Illegal immigrants are stealing all of what used to be blue
collar jobs, like roofing, carpentry, construction, painting and contracting
jobs, they are out there contracting without any proof of licenses and contractor’s
license bonds.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
And Obama’s broken promise during the 2008 campaign, that he’d
get tougher on China, his refusal to deal with Communist China, the main
culprit where our carbon emanating industries, like the middle class working
man, the blue collar’s private sector industry jobs, have all been going to
China for years since the George Bush era and nothing was done about stemming
the flows of escape. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
It all slowly killed American jobs prospects forever here. If Barack Obama believes that he’ll get the Latino votes, he’s sadly mistaken, because
according to Jennifer Korn of the Hispanic Leadership Network, says &lt;i&gt;”the news has been particularly devastating
for the Hispanic community.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;“Hispanics are still experiencing an
all-time high unemployment rate of 11.0 percent,” she said, asking Obama, “Mr.
President where are the jobs?"&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Ms. Korn, to your reply where are the jobs? Illegal immigrants
and China has them all.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
If GOP candidate Mitt Romney takes over as president, he’d
better look into illegal immigrants and the millions of carbon emitting jobs
that have gone to China, or China stole, by our Washington politicians looking
the other way. Otherwise Romney will also be another one termer like Barack.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel Sees Public Pensions Fiscal Disasters
Coming &amp;amp; Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has 7% Lead on Recall after taking
on Costly &amp;amp; Greedy Public Employees &amp;amp; Unions:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
By Marc Chamot &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Money doesn’t grow on trees. The sad reality for public employees and their greedy unions have been outed among the general taxpaying public.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
There’s no question that
majority of Americans are fed-up of greedy public employees, unions and their costly salaries, medical and retirement plans. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
A public employee pension’s reformer, and a Republican governor
of Wisconsin Scott Walker is taking the brunt from state unions and employees, after
taking action fiscal busting measures last year. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
There is unionized effort to a recall Governor Walker after
making severe cuts, on taxpayer funded and greedy public employees’ retirement
benefits. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Uh,&amp;nbsp;uh, majority of the taxpaying public are saying no, enough is enough with the greed, when taxpayers have to pay more to foot the bill.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Wisconsin’s Scott &lt;a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-120530wisconsin-recall-new-poll,0,4821245.story"&gt;Walker
has 7% lead as Wis. recall election nears: poll&lt;/a&gt; &lt;i&gt;“Just ahead of Tuesday's recall election, a new Marquette University
Law School poll shows Republican Gov.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/politics/scott-walker-PEPLT006878.topic" title="Scott Walker"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Scott Walker&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;holding on to a 52 percent to 45
percent lead over Democratic challenger&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/politics/tom-barrett-PEPLT000303.topic" title="Tom Barrett"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Tom Barrett&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;among likely Wisconsin voters. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"If Walker wins
next Tuesday&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Obama
is going to have a much tougher road in Wisconsin next fall," declared
Preibus in a message designed to counter claims from national Democrats that
the recall and the presidential vote have little in common.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
After this Tuesday’s Wisconsin gubernatorial elections, if
incumbent Scott Walker wins, this will be a major electoral slaps in the face
on government employees and their unions&lt;i&gt;.
&lt;/i&gt;You see, people and even Democratic taxpayers are finally waking up to the
realities. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
As to why are 60% to 70% of my tax dollars going towards
state employee’s salaries, pensions and benefits? What do I get in return for
all this? I don’t get squat! I don’t get anything on investments for my tax
dollars, but benefiting a whole bunch of lazy and overpaid state employees.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
So Chicago’s mayor and former Obama White House crony, Rahm Emanuel
is quickly realizing that local greedy government employees in Chicago are
breaking the bank. Rahm Emanuel sees bankruptcies’ looming in his city and
wants to take, well Scott Walker type action in his city.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Even budget busting lucrative firefighters are not safe from
Chicago budget cuts. &lt;a href="http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/12866639-418/rahm-emanuel-firefighters-not-immune-from-change-and-reform.html"&gt;Rahm
Emanuel: Firefighters not ‘immune from ... change and reform’&lt;/a&gt; &lt;i&gt;“Chicago firefighters “do a great job,” but
they’re not “immune from the change and reform” needed to solve the city’s
financial crisis and deliver “greater value” to taxpayers, Mayor Rahm Emanuel
said Wednesday. Tom Ryan, president of Chicago Firefighters Union Local 2, has
characterized the cost-cutting contract concessions the mayor is seeking from
firefighters when their contract expires June 30 as “horrendous,” “insulting”
and “ridiculous.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Emanuel did not
respond in kind, nor would he discuss specifics of his proposal to target perks
that, one union leader claimed, add $7,000 to the average firefighter’s annual
paycheck.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The mayor simply said
that “change” and “reform” is required everywhere and that no interest group
gets a pass.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The mayor said he
understands why Ryan has taken a hard line to protect the interests of his
members.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;But, he said, “I’ve
got to make sure that the taxpayers and the residents are represented. That’s
my role. … I respect what Tom has to do ….But I’ve got to make sure that we’re
making the changes that are necessary for the future and we’re not just doing
things that we used to do because we used to do ’em ….We’re not gonna do it
just because we did it in the past.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The Chicago Sun-Times
reported Wednesday that Emanuel is seeking a laundry list of cost-cutting
concessions from Chicago firefighters that take aim at such treasured union
perks as holiday and duty availability pay; clothing allowance; pay grades;
premium pay; the physical fitness incentive and the seven percent premium paid
to cross-trained firefighter-paramedics.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;“It looks almost like you’re looking at a 10
percent pay cut to me. That’s pretty drastic I think,” said Sposato, one of the
big losers in the ward remap.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Ferguson has further
estimated that the city could save $52 million-a-year by eliminating the duty
availability pay that compensates both police officers and firefighters for
being on 24-hour call. For firefighters, the perk costs the city nearly $14.3
million a year.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The inspector general
pegged the annual uniform allowance at anywhere from $1,250 to $1,500 per
firefighter, depending on the shift.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Chicago firefighters
have been waiting for Emanuel to drop the other shoe ever since last fall.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;That’s when the mayor
made it clear he planned to take a hard line in contract talks — even though
his own hero fire commissioner Robert Hoff was “deathly against” closing fire
houses or reducing the minimum staffing requirement on fire apparatus.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The scary thing for
firefighters is that the mayor’s proposed contract concessions come on top of
his plan to solve the city’s pension crisis, which would take even more money
out of firefighters’ paychecks.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Emanuel’s pension plan
calls for a five percent increase in employee pension contributions; a 10-year
freeze in cost-of-living increases for retirees; a five-year increase in the
retirement age and a two-tiered pension system for new and old employees.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Even a pro-union and pro-public employee liberal supporter
like Rahm Emanuel understands that.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Where’s the money coming from? There is a limit to taxing,
you know? You see folks; this is the mentality of unionized government
employees.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
While the private sector has suffered and have taken big economical hits, and tax revenues are
down, greedy government employees do not understand that money doesn’t grow on
trees, they want more, even if it puts us in the red. they don't care if we have to pay 80% of our income, for as long as they get their freeloading perks at our expense.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Too bad ultra-liberal California Governor Jerry Brown and
other cities such as San Francisco, don’t realize this financial and money
eating monster is within their midst, they don’t care, they want to tax people
to death, enough for them to get the hell out of Dodge!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9196003358708575261-5325131872890032384?l=marcchamot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Some States Finding Alternative Ways for Money Other
than Raising Taxes; they’re Aggressively Going after Tax Scofflaws, Cheats and
Deadbeats:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
By Marc Chamot&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Some states are reluctant to raise taxes, but instead they
are going after tax cheats and tax dodgers.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;“You don’t want to raise taxes until you’re very sure the taxes that
people are supposed to pay are being paid,”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; said Rep. Janet Ancel,
chairwoman of Vermont’s House Ways and Means Committee. Bingo! Rep. Janet Ancel
hit it right on the proverbial nail. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Finally, some states are collecting millions owed, rather
than keep raising people’s taxes.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&amp;nbsp;States like
California like to tax people to death, while tax scofflaws are getting away
without paying their fair shares of taxes. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Do you remember about those waves of immigrant own
businesses in California? Those hundred thousands, who don’t accept checks,
debit and credit cards in their thriving businesses? &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Those immigrant owned businesses, who don’t give you receipts
on purchases or don’t have rolls of receipts placed in their cash registers,
those who tax you for local and state taxes on your purchases, but don’t pay
the city and the state their fair shares or tax collected from purchases? &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Like thousands of California Chinese and Mexican
restaurants, bodegas to corner liquor stores, many who don’t accept checks or
credit cards, and oh yeah, those that I have consistently written about in the
past is popping up again.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
You see, I see it this way; don’t raise people’s taxes if
you don’t have efficient collections systems or refuse to go after wanton tax
cheat businesses. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Taxpayers and people don’t have to carry the weight for
deadbeat businesses, mainly immigrants who think they can get away without
paying their fair shares of taxes, when governments like California gives them
the wink, wink and look the other way from the problems.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
I am not picking solely on immigrants, because there are
many American owned businesses that are getting away without paying their taxes.
But when I go out to local Chinese restaurants and Mexican Taquerias, it is
always cash, no checks or debit cards with those people. &amp;nbsp;This should raise red flags to politicians
when they go out to eat. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Immigrant tax cheats are the people that the Feds IRS, state
of California and the city of San Francisco have been ignoring for years. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
We weren’t born yesterday, and we aren’t stupid, when we see
no rolls of receipts in the cash register, I always wonder if my tax money they
are collecting is really going to the city and state coffers. No, I don’t think
so; we all know there is a whole lot of tax cheating is going on.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
So states are hitting the pavement, mainly those who are &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/reluctant-to-raise-taxes-some-states-push-the-tax-man-on-tougher-collection-enforcement/2012/05/27/gJQAfPWTuU_story_1.html"&gt;Reluctant
to raise taxes, some states push the tax man on tougher collection enforcement&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;“Dentist Frank Illuzzi
was stunned when Vermont tax collectors began demanding a 6 percent sales tax
on the value of toothbrushes and floss he hands out to patients. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Senior care facility
operator Jay Grimes was similarly surprised to get a $350,000 bill slapping a 9
percent restaurant tax on the meals served to residents in the dining room.
Landscaper Richard “Buckwheat” Lowe got $18,000 in bills taxing him for the first
time ever on the mulch he sells.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Vermont is among a
handful of cash-strapped states getting more aggressive about collecting every
tax owed — hiring more collectors, hounding scofflaws and exploiting corners of
their tax laws that haven’t been enforced in years. It’s an effort to avoid
what politicians from both parties are dead set against: raising taxes.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Under adamant
no-new-tax Democratic Gov. Peter Shumlin, Vermont has added about 10 new tax
compliance auditors and has stepped up efforts to scour records in rural areas,
and add greater scrutiny to businesses ranging from auctioneers to
Internet-based cloud-computing services.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The state reaped about
$57 million during the 12 months that ended in June, up from about $50 million
five years earlier — a net gain of $7 million. That’s a tiny fraction of the
state’s $1.3 billion general fund, but it has helped lawmakers close a budget
gap that at the beginning of this year was projected to be $46 million.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Other states have had
much more success.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Idaho hired 48
temporary auditors and collectors in fiscal 2011 as part of Gov. C.L. “Butch”
Otter’s effort to boost revenues without raising taxes and narrow the so-called
“tax gap” — the amount of taxes in the state that are due but go unpaid, either
by error or by intent.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The added staff
brought in more than $26.3 million, more than double the original estimate of
$11.5 million. All the positions were made permanent this fiscal year.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Idaho’s additional tax
receipts are just a sliver of its roughly $2.7 billion budget, but they helped
the state post a budget surplus for the first year since the Great Recession
began in 2008, money that helped give state workers their first raises in five
years.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Oklahoma added about
30 people to its tax collection staff since 2010 in an effort to help close a
$900 million budget shortfall. The state collected nearly $35 million in
delinquent taxes during the 12 months that ended in June, and overall sales tax
revenues jumped by about $159 million from the first 10 months of fiscal 2011
to the same period in fiscal 2012.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;States have a variety
of strategies for following up when audits find tax scofflaws. One tactic in
California is public shaming: The state publishes lists of individuals and
businesses behind on income or sales taxes.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Others take a kinder
approach. New York responded to the recent recession by stepping up its program
to forgive parts of back payments due from taxpayers in economic distress.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Gale Garriott,
executive director of the Federation of Tax Administrators, a Washington-based
group that tracks state tax policy, said the handful of states that have taken
a tough approach by hiring more auditors have generally been rewarded with more
revenue.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;“The return on
investment is quite good. They bring in several times more than their
salaries,” he said.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Good. That’s the way to go. Aggressively collect money,
rather than increase taxes. Hey, maybe the Feds can learn from this too. Well
in the Feds case and the state of California they need more than collections,
they need to cut runaway spending also mainly on government employees and their
pensions. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
It wouldn’t take much to add extra tax investigators and hit
the streets of San Francisco to catch business tax cheats. But you see folks,
in bleeding liberal California, it’s not right picking on poor immigrant
businesses and even if they are tax cheats and tax dodgers, because you’re seen
as a racist.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
It’s better to pick on the rest of us instead, and raise our
taxes, because it is a whole lot easier and it isn’t seen as being racist to
tax dodging immigrants. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
That’s why this country and California is falling apart. Don’t
expect us to be paying taxes for freeloaders.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9196003358708575261-7960501818459788889?l=marcchamot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
By Marc Chamot&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Why does Barack Obama fare so badly among military veterans
when he came out in support for homeless vets? The problem, homeless veterans are in the minority.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
The Obama administration has pledged to help homeless vets, that’s
the problem, only 1 in 3 vets are homeless, but millions of service connected disabled
veterans like me are still waiting for our VA financial disability benefits
that haven’t arrived.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
13 percent of American populations are military veterans,
and according to &lt;a href="http://www.mediaite.com/online/gallup-poll-veterans-give-romney-double-digit-lead-over-obama/"&gt;Gallup
Poll: Veterans Give Romney Double-Digit Lead over Obama&lt;/a&gt; &lt;i&gt;“Gallup released a timely poll on Memorial
Day which shows military veterans give former Massachusetts Gov.&amp;nbsp;Mitt
Romney&amp;nbsp;a double-digit lead over President&amp;nbsp;Barack Obama. In fact,
Gallup’s&amp;nbsp;Frank Newport&amp;nbsp;notes that vets are partially “responsible for
Romney’s advantage among men overall.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.gallup.com/poll/154904/Veterans-Give-Romney-Big-Lead-Obama.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;poll shows&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;military veterans support Romney over Obama
by 58 to 34 percent. Non-veteran men give Romney a narrow lead with 46 to 45
percent. All men give Romney a 50 to 42 percent lead over Obama.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Women veterans support
Obama over Romney with 47 to 42 percent. Non-veteran women support Obama by 49
to 42 percent. All women support Obama by the same margin.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Gallup notes that the
proportion of adults with military service in their background increases dramatically
among those men who are 60-years-old or older. 45 percent of those 60+ are
veterans. Only 18 percent of those men aged 40-49 have a background in the
services. 3 percent of women age 40-49 are veterans.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, and last month the New
York Times came out with an expose that the Oakland office of VA disability benefits
and approvals of service connected pensions for disable military vets is the
worst in the nation.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
In &lt;a href="http://www.disabledveterans.org/2012/05/16/for-disability-california-veterans-wait-longer/"&gt;Disability,
California Veterans Wait Longer&lt;/a&gt; &lt;i&gt;“Disabled
veterans living in the Bay Area, seen at the Oakland Regional Office, wait an
average of 313 days for the Dept of Veterans Affairs to adjudicate their
claims. Of those claims, at least 1 in 4 needed a redo, according to &lt;a href="http://www.baycitizen.org/veterans/story/veterans-disability-claims-buried/"&gt;Bay
Citizen reporter Aaron Glatz&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;According to Glatz, “nearly
60 VA offices around the country, the Oakland office are the slowest. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Representative Jackie Speier,
of San Mateo, said the problems are so severe in Oakland that all new claims
are sent to VA offices in Lincoln, Nebraska and Muskogee, Oklahoma for
processing.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The California
veterans affected wait almost 2 times longer than the national average of 180
days. Currently, the VA is working on converting the old paper files into
electronic documents. The VA claims this will serve as the silver bullet for
the claims backlog.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;In a recent statement,
VA said it is “taking steps” to meet VA Secretary Eric Shinseki’s goal of
processing disability claims in less than 125 days with 98 percent accuracy.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;After Glantz published
his story in the New York Times, the VA announced plans to revamp processes at
12 regional offices around the country. The problematic Oakland Regional Office
was not one of those on the list.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Tom Murphy, head of
VA’s Disability Compensation program, stated Oakland was excluded because the
delays were actually caused by “quality issues.” When this happens, the claims
must all be re-examined prior to a determination.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Basically, disability
claims need to be adjudicated twice, which explains the delay. However, the
answer begs the question, why have the systemic failures have been allowed to
persist? The director of the Oakland Regional Office is expected to answer this
question and others shortly.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Then why are U.S. Representative Jackie Speier, Nancy Pelosi
and Barbara Lee on top of this fiasco, but not Barack Obama? Didn’t President Obama
hire head of the VA &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Shinseki" title="Eric Shinseki"&gt;Eric Ken Shinseki&lt;/a&gt; to take care of all veteran’s
business? &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
And &amp;nbsp;why is Barack Obama
micromanaging the U.S. Attorney General’s Office of Eric Holder on lawsuits
over illegal immigrations in states, while not doing squat for needy vets at
the VA?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Why hasn’t President Obama ordered Mr. Eric Ken Shinseki,
head of the Veteran Affairs Administration, get more people into the most inept
office of Veterans’ affairs on disabilities in Oakland? &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
We’ve got thousands, upon thousands of service connected
disabled veterans in Northern California, waiting for their disability pensions
that never comes for months and even years. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
We have been watching this president in action. It isn’t
pretty, Obama has authorized billion dollars tax refunds to illegal immigrants,
and he has made big efforts to block states from enacting their own legal
illegal immigration policies. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
While illegal immigrants and legal resident aliens are
sucking up our tax dollars through IRS and Social Security handouts they don’t
deserve, veterans who have served in the armed forces and fought and have
disabilities, who fought for those immigrants’, most who don’t belong here, and
who are sucking up our tax money reserved for U.S. citizens and veterans who
served.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
This is what happens when a president favors one group, illegals
over others, while ignoring blocs of 25 million U.S. veterans, citizens and voters.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Veterans and American citizens who have contributed for the
country with their lives and into the tax system are far more important and should
have preferences on tax dollars, other disability safety nets than any
immigrant, including illegals, who haven’t served in our military, or fought
our wars for our freedoms, or died for our nation or put any money into our tax
systems.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
When government says to vets you can wait; “well hey, we have
no more money for you, but for both legal and illegals’, we have lots of money
available and with these kinds of mentalities makes us veterans very angry and
we want action now.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Giving foreigners and illegals preferential treatments and welfare, over its citizens there will be a backlash among its voting citizens.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
The reality of things; if Barack Obama made same efforts for
American veterans and its citizens, rather than for illegal immigrants, he’d
have far more support among veterans including me.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;B. H. Obama White Support Evaporating; Romney Leads by 26 Points,
58% to 32% Among White Voters:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
By Marc Chamot&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Sayonara Mr. El Presidente. Am I from the old school of I
told you so, or what? According to Washington Post-ABC News Poll, whites are
leaving Obama in droves.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Are the 2012 Obama re-election campaigns pinning whites
against minorities, who still support Obama in large numbers? Absolutely! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
President Barack Obama and his Democratic cronies still
believe that minorities will pull through for him in 2012, regardless of the
white vote. I have said that before and before and now.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Of course, we are all called racists by doing both, saying
it and doing it. Well hey; I am of Jewish descents, which have lived through
more racism around the world than anybody. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Oh no, another Jew? Have African Americans been murdered by
the millions? Have African Americans lost over 6 million of their brethrens due
to genocide? No. I don’t think so. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
I am not racist and so aren’t the millions of whites, who no
longer support Barack Obama. I can spot racism like a smelly toilet, and the
direction of racial relations in this country that Barack Obama has taken us
to, unh, unh, totally wrong. I don’t like it at all.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Who in America isn’t doing so well off? Nobody, not even
African Americans, they’ve had suffered worst job losses in decades, and
Latinos, who had their homes foreclosed on, they don’t care, but they will vote
for Obama again. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Now, the Washington Post-ABC News poll is being nice tying
in the white voters to the economy, which is also true. But in my opinion, I
believe that racial relations have regressed under this president.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
The poll shows, &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/romney-holds-key-advantages-among-financially-struggling-white-voters/2012/05/24/gJQACxPgoU_story.html?tid=ts_biz"&gt;Romney
holds key advantages among financially struggling white voters&lt;/a&gt; &lt;i&gt;“In an election year in which the economy
ranks as Americans’ top concern, presumptive Republican presidential nominee
Mitt Romney holds significant advantages over President Obama among white
voters who are struggling financially and buffeted by job loss, according to a new&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/page/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2012/05/25/National-Politics/Polling/release_85.xml?uuid=VHx7EqYiEeGoEekBtKbiMQ"&gt;Washington
Post-ABC News poll&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Asked which candidate
would do more to advance their&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/page/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2012/05/25/National-Politics/Polling/question_4917.xml?uuid=s5DpqKYiEeGoEekBtKbiMQ"&gt;families’
economic interests&lt;/a&gt;, middle-class white voters who say they are struggling
to maintain their financial positions chose Romney over Obama by a large margin
— 58&amp;nbsp;percent to 32&amp;nbsp;percent.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The former
Massachusetts governor has a similar advantage on this question among white
voters who have lost a job in recent years, or who have seen a family member or
close friend face unemployment.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Nonwhite voters,
struggling or not, give Obama huge leads over Romney when it comes to looking
after their families’ financial interests.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The results underscore
a continuing challenge for Obama and the Democratic Party with white voters,
and particularly those without college degrees — who, according, are
significantly more likely to be unemployed than those with higher education.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Indeed, among whites
who described themselves as struggling to maintain their economic footing —
regardless of their current class — nearly seven in 10 lacked a college
diploma. And although they lean more Republican than the population in general,
it is a group that neither party can ignore. In the new poll, 31&amp;nbsp;percent
of these voters described themselves as Republicans, 27&amp;nbsp;percent as
Democrats.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;In 2008, Obama lost
whites without college degrees by a big margin, 58 percent to 40 percent,
according to the national exit poll.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;That performance among such voters was
similar to John F. Kerry’s in 2004 and Al Gore’s in 2000.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;“Democrats are very
likely to lose those voters” again this year, said Mark Mellman, a Democratic
pollster. “The question is by how much.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;One factor that may
help the president is that, in the 14 or fewer swing states likely to determine
the outcome of the election, unemployment rates have&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/swing-state-unemployment-down-obamas-chances-140909615--finance.html"&gt;dropped
more sharply&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;than they have for the nation as a whole.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;But the extended
economic hardship many Americans are facing — across racial and partisan lines
— makes those who are vulnerable a particularly important target group for both
campaigns.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;In the poll, Americans
overall reported widespread economic pain, with&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/page/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2012/05/25/National-Politics/Polling/question_4907.xml?uuid=nV98JqYiEeGoEekBtKbiMQ"&gt;more
than seven in 10&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;saying they have been affected directly or indirectly
by unemployment in the past few years. Four in 10 reports struggling to
maintain their socioeconomic status, with about one in five saying they are in
the middle class and straining to stay there.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/page/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2012/05/25/National-Politics/Polling/question_4915.xml?uuid=r2xy_KYiEeGoEekBtKbiMQ"&gt;Fifty
percent of all voters&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;say Obama would do more to advance the interests
of the middle class more generally, and 44 percent say so of Romney.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Among white voters
trying to stay in the middle class, Romney is considered the better candidate
for that group by a 20-point margin; Obama is preferred by better than 3 to 1
among middle-class nonwhite voters, regardless of their sense of security.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Whites and nonwhites —
as well as voters across party lines — agree that&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/page/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2012/05/25/National-Politics/Polling/question_4916.xml?uuid=rWoGkKYiEeGoEekBtKbiMQ"&gt;Romney
would do more than Obama&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to advocate for the economic interests of
wealthy Americans.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;By a 23-point margin,
voters say it’s Romney, not Obama, who would do more to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/page/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2012/05/25/National-Politics/Polling/question_4918.xml?uuid=qxZknKYiEeGoEekBtKbiMQ"&gt;advance
the interests of Wall Street&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The telephone poll was
conducted May 17 to 20 among a random national sample of 1,004 adults. The
margin of sampling error for the full poll is plus or minus 3.5 percentage

Like the old saying goes, “A Man's Got to&amp;nbsp;Know&amp;nbsp;his&amp;nbsp;Limitations.” Clint
Eastwood.&amp;nbsp;Disastrous presidents with Obama records and sorry polls numbers usually don't run again. But this arrogant and&amp;nbsp;narcissistic&amp;nbsp;president does not recognize that.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9196003358708575261-7624541052879149811?l=marcchamot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Absolutely, it Just&amp;nbsp;doesn't&amp;nbsp;add-up When 4 out of 10 Democrats in Primaries vote against the President:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
By Marc Chamot&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Obama’s in deep trouble folks, even Democrats don’t want to
vote for him in primaries.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
How desperate are NBC News-Marist polls in the tank for
Obama?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
How far is NBC News willing to lie with their poll figures to&amp;nbsp;convince&amp;nbsp;us otherwise with more of their lies, and possibly lose even more
credibility than they already have?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Just a day ago, &lt;a href="http://www.wesh.com/r/31102149/detail.html"&gt;Quinnipiac University Polling Institute &lt;/a&gt;poll
released a survey that showed most voters in Florida disapprove of the way the
president is doing his job. The poll showed Romney was leading Barack Hussein Obama
47-41 percent among Florida voters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The survey also showed that it was up from a statistical dead heat two weeks
ago and a Q-Poll conducted in back in March that showed the president with a
49-42 percent lead.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
The independent poll also indicated that 63 percent of
voters would not be more likely to vote against Obama based on the president's
recent support for same-sex marriage, but 23 percent of likely voters say it
would make them more inclined to vote for Romney.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So now, a day later, the oft
liberal and left-leaning, and biased, often misleading network NBC News, come
out with their poll numbers showing Obama leading Mitt Romney by four in Florida. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
So who’s correct? Who’s to believe? &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
In NBC News/Marist &lt;a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/polls-obama-leads-romney-florida-ohio-virginia/story?id=16420827#.T74_xrBYuuk"&gt;Polls:
Obama leads Romney in Florida, Ohio and Virginia&lt;/a&gt; &lt;i&gt;“President Barack Obama leads Mitt Romney in Florida, Ohio and
Virginia, according to new polls of the key 2012 swing states, although Obama's
advantage has narrowed in recent months.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Obama has inched ahead
of Romney 48 percent to 44 percent in both Florida and Virginia, according to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/05/24/11854807-nbc-polls-obama-edges-romney-in-three-key-battleground-states?utm_source=dlvr.it&amp;amp;utm_medium=twitter"&gt;three
new NBC News/Marist polls&lt;/a&gt;. In Ohio, the president has a 6-point advantage
over Romney, leading his Republican rival 48 percent to 42 percent among
registered voters in the state. (The polls have a plus or minus 3 percent
margin of error.)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Despite the good news,
there are signs of danger for the Obama campaign. In March, the same polls
found Obama with a 12-point lead over Romney in Ohio and a 17-point lead in
Virginia. In January, the poll had Obama besting Romney by 8 points in Florida.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
But, which ones are to believe? Democratic primary electoral
results, will give you the bigger picture, as to who is being dishonest or
truthful about who’s actually leading Florida. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
However, in NBC’s ignorant and twisted left-wing world, a
world of make believes and far withdrawn from political realities, here are
current Democratic primary results in recent primary elections, where Barack Hussein
Obama inched a Democratic primary victories by small margins, over other
Democratic opponents!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
We’re talking about the current sitting American president
here, who loads of Democrats won’t even vote for him; &lt;a href="http://content.usatoday.com/communities/theoval/post/2012/05/obama-again-struggles-in-southern-primaries/1#.T7zvOdxYuuk"&gt;Obama
carried only 58% of the vote in yesterday’s Kentucky, against 42% for
"uncommitted" delegates to the national convention&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;i&gt;"uncommitted" actually out-polled
the president in 67 of Kentucky's 120 counties.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Obama also carried 58%
in the Arkansas primary; little-known Tennessee lawyer and Occupy Wall Street
supporter John Wolfe won 42% of the vote against the Democratic president in
Arkansas.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Two weeks ago, a
federal prisoner in Texas named Keith Judd racked up 41% of the vote against
Obama in the West Virginia primary.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2012/05/22/national/w201205D82.DTL"&gt;Primary
protest votes show displeasure with Obama&lt;/a&gt; &lt;i&gt;“Some presidential primary voters in Kentucky and Arkansas are taking a
swipe at President Barack Obama, denying the incumbent nearly 4 out of every 10
votes cast on the Democratic side.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;In Kentucky's closed
primary, about 42 percent of registered Democrats who voted selected
"uncommitted."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;In Arkansas' open
primary, voters could select a ballot for either party. Early returns showed a
Tennessee attorney, John Wolfe, drawing about 40 percent on the Democratic
side.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The results in either
state will not hamper&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sfgate.com/barack-obama/"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Obama's&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;effort to gain the party's nomination for a second term. Still,
it's a bit embarrassing for the Democratic Party and highlights Obama's
political weakness in Southern states.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Two weeks ago, a
federal inmate in Texas earned 41 percent of the vote in West Virginia's
Democratic primary.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
So, if 4 out of every 10 Democrats vote other than Barack
Obama, I’m talking about 4 out of every 10 registered Democrats, not Republicans,
and not independents, but Democrats voted against Barack Hussein Obama. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
According to Democratic primary results in various states,
statistically, with massive Democratic dislike for Barack Obama, would be virtually
impossible for Barack Obama to be leading Romney in Florida, or any other state
for that matter right? &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
The NBC and Marist polls are full of BS, this tells me that
left-wingers are very desperate, and in the tank for leftist Barack Obama and
are not credible.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9196003358708575261-826722520698619091?l=marcchamot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;NBC/WSJ Poll:&amp;nbsp;Obama’s White Voter Support Eroding; Mitt Romney 52% to Obama’s 39%, Most White Voters Disgusted with Obama's &amp;amp; Supporters
Racist Antics:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
By Marc Chamot&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
As expected, according to recent polls, President Obama has
eroded the white vote considerably.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, I am not too surprised about this
new poll; I expected this to happen in my past postings, but people ignored it.
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
It’s not surprising though, Obama’s last three years and a
half has been more racially dividing this nation, rather than uniting it. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Nobody, no Medias want to talk about Obama’s massive losses
of white voters. Barack Obama thinks minorities will pull for him in 2012, but
I think he’s very mistaken; Obama’s misjudged the anger and wraths of majority
white voters during Obama’s first term in office.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
According to NBC/WSJ polls&lt;i&gt; “&lt;a href="http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/05/nbcwsj-poll-obama-leads-by-4-points-still-struggling-on-the-economy.php"&gt;Romney,
meanwhile, holds the advantage with whites (52 percent to 39 percent&lt;/a&gt;), men
(49 percent to 40 percent), suburban residents (47 percent to 41 percent),
Midwest residents (48 percent to 43 percent), and high-interest voters (47
percent to 44 percent).”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
This explains why Barack Hussein Obama wants minorities to
make up for losses of the white vote in 2012. I believe Obama and his minions
have misjudged the wrath of the white voters in America in the upcoming
election. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
I am Jewish; I am one of those Jews, who truly believe that
Judaism is a race. Just as Arabs and other Middle Eastern people are. We Jews
have had our fair shares of prejudices throughout our lifetimes, but we don’t
go around crying or bitching about what people have done to us in the past.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Other liberal white folks who may be nuttier than squirrels
with mouthfuls of peanuts, like those San Francisco snobbish and arrogant, quiche
eating and white wine drinkers, who support Obama and race dividers. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
The once Obama race uniter has become the race divider
president, a president whose justice department, Eric holder, who likes to associate
with race baiters, such as Al Sharpton does not give us a whole lot of
confidence in this president’s fairness’s on racial relations. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Racist blacks have been known to be anti-white under the
Obama administration’s carte blanche. The George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin
escalated national racial issues to its worst in history, and we’ve seen racial
conflicts, way worse under the Obama inept administration than any other. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Having the New Black Panthers put out “dead or alive”
threats, without impunity or concern for violating laws on George Zimmerman’s
well being and safety without any prosecutions for carrying death threats, and innocent
white folks were being beaten, over the Trayvon Martin incident around the
country has seriously soured a whole lot of white folks against Barack Hussein
Obama 2012 presidency.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Racist teachers like&amp;nbsp;Tanya Dixon-Neely; a maleficent,
rude and nasty&amp;nbsp;teacher attacking Mitt Romney as a high school bully, and who
herself, attempted to bully and indoctrinate a white youth student through
threats; into believing that Obama was so supreme and above criticism; it was
wrong to criticize Barack Obama.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Tanya Dixon-Neely also claimed that &amp;nbsp;they have arrested people who have criticized Obama
in the past, regardless that Barack Hussein Obama, had openly admitted that he
bullied a girl when he was younger. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
You see my friends; most of those white liberals who support
Obama are in the minority, and don’t care if this country is going down the
tubes, as long as they have their money and it isn’t messed with.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
And yet those very arrogant white liberals, I’m talking
about, who’ll vote for Obama are those who have these high priced Mercedes
Benzes, BMW’s, and Lexus’s, and those white liberals have a whole lot of money,
but don’t give a darn about this country’s direction, or the rest of us for
that matter. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
And dumping Joe Biden in lieu of Hillary Clinton won’t help
Obama’s 2012 chances either.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
The racial damages by Obama has been done, and I don’t think Barack Obama will recover from massive loses of the white votes. On top of it, Obama’s got the worst economy in recent times going against him in this election.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Government&amp;nbsp; Mandated Con Job; California Disabled Con Artists with Sleazy Lawyers, Unite to use ADA, Americans
Disabilities Act Regulations to Extort Money &amp;amp; Put Local Businesses out of
Business for nonconformity:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
By Marc Chamot&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Why is California putting so many people out of work? It’s
because, some unscrupulous lawyers with disabled con artists in tow, are going
around suing businesses that haven’t conformed to ADA regulations. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
The Americans with Disabilities Act was a law passed to help
disabled folks to have easy access to places, mainly restrooms.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
However, most California landlords and rented offices, business
rental spaces are old, and do not conform to ADA regulations and are not
obligated to be responsible to ADA regulations. In other words, the renter, the
business owner is the one being sued, not the landlord.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
These con artists are using ADA regulations on &lt;a href="http://www.news10.net/news/article/191024/2/Foresthill-businesses-face-ADA-compliance-lawsuits?odyssey=tab%7Ctopnews%7Cbc%7Clarge"&gt;Foresthill
businesses face ADA compliance lawsuits&lt;/a&gt; &lt;i&gt;“The
town of Foresthill is 17 miles off the interstate and many of the buildings
date back to the Gold Rush; that's why business owners in town thought they
wouldn't have to worry about lawsuits over disability access.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Business owners in the
historic foothill community said they're under siege after they became the
latest targets of a disabled attorney who claims the businesses lack proper
access.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Quadriplegic&amp;nbsp;attorney
Scott Johnson has filed more than 1,000 lawsuits under the Americans with
Disabilities Act.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Business owners in
Foresthill said Johnson spent several days in town in January; the letters and
lawsuits soon followed.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Among the businesses
facing lawsuits include The Red Dirt Saloon and Ore Cart Steakhouse, built in
1854.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"I'm sorry that
he's in this position, but does that give him the right to terrorize the
businesses of Foresthill and put us all out of business?" Red Dirt Saloon
owner Joan Elliott said.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Other businesses
include Worton's Market, the Over Easy Starlite Café and Foresthill Joe's coffee
shop.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"This is the last
thing that we need," Foresthill Joe's owner Sara Schnuck said.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Although the saloon
and steakhouse are only a few years younger than the State of California, the
owner said a major renovation 17 years ago brought it into ADA compliance.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;But Johnson's lawsuit
points to the ramp outside, which he claims is too steep.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Red Dirt Saloon
regular Crawford Casto, who arrived at the business by wheelchair, thinks it's
nonsense.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"I can't
understand why somebody wants to be this petty, to come around and do something
that's not necessary," Castco said.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Whether or not the
claims are valid, the businesses are spending money to defend themselves.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The cafe is collecting
cash in a jar.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Meanwhile, a
grassroots movement aimed at stopping lawsuit abuse is hosting a public forum
Tuesday at 3 p.m. on the south steps of the state Capitol.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9196003358708575261-6933959523120782152?l=marcchamot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Fact of the Day; Ignorant Black &amp;amp; Racist, Hypocritical Bully, Rowan
High School, Spencer North Carolina Teacher, Defends Barack Obama through Lies, Hypocrisies
&amp;amp; Threats of Arrest in Classroom:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
By Marc Chamot&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Do you want to know why American education’s going into the
gutters? Listen to this video and you’ll be shocked.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
It looks like North
Carolina hires racist teachers like&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 26px;"&gt;Tanya Dixon-Neely; Updated name of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 25px;"&gt;maleficent, rude and nasty&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 26px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;teacher.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They indoctrinate students, and then if students
don’t agree, they threaten them, with suspensions and arrest.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
A Rowan High School racist teacher got into a shouting match,
with one of her students over Barack Hussein Obama on her “fact of the Day”
posting about Mitt Romney being a school bully. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Apparently, this teacher posted on her bulletin board, “fact
of the Day,” Mitt Romney was a School Bully. Basically, this racist teacher was
suppressing freedom of speech in her classroom, and threatened her white student
of arrest, by criticizing Barack Hussein Obama.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
This nameless teacher attacked one of her students because
he was complaining to her about the double standards, of ignoring the real facts
that Barack Obama once shoved a girl in school and actually, ignoring the facts that Obama was a bully too, a female bully at that.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
This teacher, whom the North Carolina teachers
unions and the state of North Carolina are scurrying to defend, and protect her
from massive Media, and public backlashes over her blinded and ignorant love for
Barack Hussein Obama.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
The latest, this nameless teacher has been suspended over her ignorant actions. &amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
What happened to public education, folks? The good news, this
video is further proof that our kids, because of the Internet; radical teachers,
and mainstream Medias have lost influence over the people and even on the
younger ones.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
You can hear some students murmuring and mocking the teacher
over her misguided “fact of the day” fallacies, favoring Obama to the extremes,
no matter what the facts are.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;State of the Disunion; 1.4 Million Jobs Lost, 16 States
Benefited in Jobs &amp;amp; 11 States Have Lost Jobs under B. H. Obama &amp;amp; USA
Today/Gallup polls Gives Mitt Romney 9 Point Lead, Independents Favoring
Romney by 11 Points &amp;amp; Rising:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;By Marc Chamot&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Is &lt;/i&gt;It Obamageddon
2012 and curtains for Barack Hussein Obama? &amp;nbsp;President Obama apparently, has no record on
jobs to run on. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Not one, not one positive record to run on for his 2012 re-election.&amp;nbsp; 1.4 million Jobs were lost since 2009, and
possibly more under Obama. According to government labor reports, only 16
states have benefitted, somewhat under Obama, and the rest are suffering high
unemployment. &lt;i&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Is Barack Obama trying to take credit for Texas jobs
creations? Texas is leading the nation in jobs creations, then why is Barack
Hussein Obama getting credit for Texas jobs creations? &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
No way! The credit goes to Republican Governor Rick Perry
and his policies, for the number one jobs creation state in the nation.&amp;nbsp; No, not radical left-wing and jobs killer Barack
Obama should take credit for Texas jobs growths.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cRUG4MJLcwY/T7auo9HFoAI/AAAAAAAAHII/YmgSbf5w3sE/s1600/obamajobs.cms" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="195" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cRUG4MJLcwY/T7auo9HFoAI/AAAAAAAAHII/YmgSbf5w3sE/s320/obamajobs.cms" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;a href="http://news.investors.com/article/611952/201205181223/job-growth-continues-to-lag-under-obama.htm"&gt;Recovery?
Just 16 States Have Gained Jobs Under Obama&lt;/a&gt; “&lt;i&gt;Just 16 states have seen job growth since President Obama took office,
according to state employment data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The remaining states
have lost a combined 1.4 million jobs since January 2009.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Even 34 months after
the recession officially ended in June 2009, there are still 11 states that
have fewer people working now than at the start of the recovery.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Meanwhile, 20 states
have unemployment rates at or above 8%, including nine with unemployment at 9%
or higher, according to the BLS.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;At the other end of
the spectrum, Texas has been the leader in job creation under Obama, with
240,000 more people working there than when he took office. Since the recovery
started in June 2009, Texas has added 474,000 jobs, which accounts for one in
four of all the jobs created during the recovery.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;North Dakota takes the
prize for fastest job growth rate, with employment climbing 13% since Obama
took office, due largely to the oil boom there.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The biggest job loser
under Obama is California, which is down 285,000 jobs in April compared with
January 2009, BLS data show.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The data underscore
how the lackluster recovery has failed to come close to filling back the job
losses from the recession, a poor performance that is sure to weigh on Obama's
re-election prospects.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The latest IBD/TIPP
poll, for example, finds just 35% give Obama a top grade for his handling of
the economy, while 43% give him a D or F.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Obama has attempted to
assuage such concerns by boasting about the "extraordinary progress that
we've been able to make," including "4 million jobs created over the
last two years."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The nation's workforce
is still 5 million smaller than it was at the previous employment peak, set way
back in January 2008, BLS data show. At 51 months, it's already the longest
jobs recession since the Great Depression, with no end in sight.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;By this point in the
recovery from the 1981-82 recession — which saw unemployment shoot up to 10.8%
— the labor force was 6.8 million larger than at the pre-recession jobs peak.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;IBD also compared
state job growth with measures of business friendliness. States that rank
highest on this measure — which typically focuses on tax rates, regulations,
tort reform and the size of the state government — have experienced faster job
growth rates than those ranking lowest.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;IBD examined state
business friendliness rankings from Forbes, CNBC, the George Washington
University's Mercatus Center, the Tax Foundation and Chief Executive Magazine.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;States that ranked in
the top 10 in two or more of those lists had nearly twice the job growth rate
of those showing up in the bottom 10 in two or more rankings. Top-ranked states
also had an unemployment rate almost a full percentage point below the least
business friendly states.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"We can take
lessons we learn from states and apply them nationally," said Jason
Sorens, assistant professor of political science at the State University of New
York, Buffalo, and co-author of the Mercatus 50-state ranking study. "If
keeping taxes, spending and regulations low and reasonable promotes growth in
states, we should expect that same relationship to hold nationally."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.gopusa.com/freshink/2012/05/18/gallup-romney-9-point-favorability-lead/"&gt;New
Poll Show Romney's Favorability on the Rise&lt;/a&gt; &lt;i&gt;“Mitt Romney has not only wrapped up the GOP presidential nomination,
he is also started to win over more supporters. In a new Gallup Poll, Romney's
favorability rating has jumped eleven points to his highest level yet.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Fifty percent of
Americans now have a favorable opinion of presumptive Republican presidential nominee
Mitt Romney, up from 39% in February and his highest by 10 percentage points.
His current 41% unfavorable rating, though, leaves him with a net score of +9,
after being at -8 in February. In roughly half of the 28 measurements Gallup
has taken of Romney since 2006, more Americans have viewed him negatively than
positively.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The spike in Romney's
favorable rating in the May 10-13 USA Today/Gallup poll is predictable, given
that he has become the presumptive Republican nominee. Presidential candidates typically
get a spike in their favorable ratings in the wake of winning the nomination.
Gallup's prior measurement of Romney, in February, came as Rick Santorum was
surging in the polls after a series of primary and caucus wins that made him
Romney's main challenger.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Republicans and
independents are fueling the rise in Romney's favorable rating, with Democrats'
views of him unchanged. Eighty-seven percent of Republicans now view him
favorably, up from 65% in February. His favorable rating among independents is
11 points higher, and independents now view Romney more positively (48%) than
negatively (43%).”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;California Broke; $16 Billion in Deficits, $3.5 Billion shortfalls
on Personal Annual Income Tax Returns &amp;amp; Yet Want to Provide Legal Work
Documents to Illegals: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
By Marc Chamot&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
California, the "Sad Sack" state:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Car 54 Where are you?&lt;/i&gt; I was called anti-immigrant and I was called every name in
the book. You see; the very last time I wrote on how I see about rampant California&amp;nbsp;immigration's. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
People of money are leaving the state in droves daily and
the state’s tax base is dwindling in the billions annually. If changes aren’t
done, it’ll be a matter of time, before the state will be laden with poor
foreign immigrants, and with no tax base.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
I had mentioned about the massive increases of poor Asian
Immigrants and of rampant illegal immigrants, while money and state financial resources
were leaving the state in droves and the only people who are left are millions
of poor immigrants who don’t report or pay taxes.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
There are billions of dollars in unfunded pension benefits
for state employees, and billions of dollars in safety nets for people, mainly
immigrants to those who have never contributed into the system. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
And the state taxing businesses to death, and chasing them
out of the state, is causing the state to spiral downwards financially.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
I said this before folks! But do you think California
liberals are listening? No! Do you think Sacramento is learning? No! &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Too many good businesses and work have been chased and lost away,
because of excessive taxes and fees to maintain California’s lavish lifestyles,
fiscally escalating financial policies favoring state employees and their
unions, and poor immigrants for their free educations and medical care that is
destroying the state fiscally.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
I have said this so many times before, but no liberal Democrat
wants to accept responsibilities to these facts and realities that are
bankrupting the state.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The sad facts of life are, the love to provide foreign immigrants free school and medical care and money to live on, money they never contributed into, and that money must come from somewhere? Taxing people to death, they move elsewhere and the poorest who need services remain in the state.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.scpr.org/news/2012/04/30/32252/revenue-personal-income-taxes-falls-2-billion-shor/"&gt;Revenue
from personal income taxes falls $2 billion short&lt;/a&gt; &lt;i&gt;“Personal income tax revenues fell about two Billion dollars short of
projections during the most crucial month for the state budget – tax month.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jason Sisney with the non-partisan Legislative Analyst’s Office says April’s
shortfall continues a string of months with disappointing revenues.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;California
Governor&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/jerry-brown/"&gt;Jerry Brown&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;bet
that a nascent financial recovery would lift the world’s ninth- largest economy
enough to whittle down a $9.2 billion deficit. Instead, the gap has widened to
$16 billion.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/16-billion-deficit-california_644464.html"&gt;Tax
collections have run $3.5 billion below what he calculated four months ago.&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;i&gt;“Spending has grown $2 billion above
projections. The federal government and court ruling blocked some savings he
expected, while his fellow Democrats in the Legislature balked at others.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;California, with an
economy bigger than&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/russia/"&gt;Russia&lt;/a&gt;’s,
lost more than a million jobs in the recession that struck in 2007, costing the
most populous U.S. state 24 percent of its revenue. The new deficit estimate
increases the urgency of the governor’s plans to increase income taxes on some
earners to the highest in the nation, and boost sales levies that are now more
than any other state.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
This is another example of California idiocies. The state, with
$16 billion dollars deficits want to create more economic killing policies.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
The worst thing about all this; California chastised Arizona
and Alabama for their strict anti-illegal immigrants policies; they claimed
states had no right to enact its own immigration policies, now they are
enacting their own pro-illegal immigrant policies. What hypocrites! &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Do you see how cu-cu-for-cocoa-puffs are California
politicians? They are definitely qualified for 5150’s, a term for mental wards.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ocregister.com/articles/state-329968-country-measure.html"&gt;State
measure would let illegal immigrants work legally&lt;/a&gt; “A California Assemblyman
is proposing a measure that would allow nearly a million people who are in the
country illegally to work lawfully in the state without much fear of
deportation, according to published reports.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;While several states
throughout the nation are cracking down on those in the country illegally,
Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes, D-Sylmar, is spearheading the California
Opportunity and Prosperity Act, which was filed Friday with the state attorney
general's office, according to the agency's website.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;GETTING AN INITIATIVE
ON THE BALLOT&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The number of voter
signatures required for the initiative to be on the ballot must be equal or be
at least 5 percent of the total votes cast for Governor at the last
gubernatorial election.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The measure would have
to qualify by 131 days before the election to appear on the next statewide
election ballot.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Source: California
Secretary of State Website&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Fuentes called the
measure a "moderate, common-sense approach" needed because of the
federal government's inability to pass comprehensive immigration reform, The
Sacramento Bee reported. It would apply to people who have lived in the state
since at least January 2008, have no criminal record, and speak English or are
trying to learn the language, among other qualifications.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Over the weekend,
Barbara Coe with Huntington Beach-based California Coalition for Immigration
Reform, e-mailed fellow anti-illegal-immigration activists, criticizing the
measure and urging them to contact state legislators to stop the law.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"This is the most
frightening news yet!" she wrote in an e-mail.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Assemblyman Tim
Donnelly, R-Twin Peaks, told the Sacramento Bee that the initiative sidesteps
immigration law.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"There's a proper
process for coming to this country," he said about those who come to the
country illegally. "Why don't you respect that?"&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Those who support the
measure said the state stands to make up to $325 million in new tax revenue
from those who are working in the country illegally, the Sacramento Bee
reported. The initiative needs 504,760 voter signatures to qualify for an
upcoming ballot.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;This is the latest
state measure that has been friendly to people who are working in the country
illegally.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Last month, Gov. Jerry
Brown signed into law a bill that prohibits the state, cities, counties and
special districts from requiring employers to use E-Verify, a free
Internet-based system that checks if a new hire is allowed to legally work in
the country. Some Orange County cities had to revisit clauses in city contracts
that required employers they do business with to use the federal tool.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Why is Hussein Barack Obama Fighting Voter ID Laws? Now we know;
Florida Voter Audits Show that 182,000 may Be Undocumented’s / Illegals Registered
to Vote in State Elections:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
By Marc Chamot&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Well, what do you know? No wonder Barack Obama is fighting against
Voter I.D. laws across the country?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
It turns out that Florida voter audits are
showing, 182,000 illegal aliens registered voters. The Obama-justice administrations
said;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt; “Oh, it would keep the poor African Americans and indigents’ from voting"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; in regards to state Voter ID Laws.”
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Bull; baloney, it was all to protect corruptive illegal
immigrants who vote for Hussein Barack Obama and his&amp;nbsp;corruptible&amp;nbsp;Democratic elections. It is groups like
Lulac, La Raza and currently defunct ACORN, who went out to register these
people en masse, in Latino/Hispanic heavy states to vote in fraudulent
elections.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www2.tbo.com/news/breaking-news/2012/may/11/nearly-200000-fla-voters-may-not-be-citizens-ar-402779/"&gt;Nearly
200,000 Fla. voters may not be citizens&lt;/a&gt; &lt;i&gt;“Florida
officials are now saying that nearly 200,000 registered voters may not be U.S.
citizens.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Earlier in the week,
state election officials announced they had identified more than 2,600 people
who are in Florida legally but ineligible to vote.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The Department of
State is asking county election officials to verify the information. Election
supervisors are contacting voters and if someone is not a citizen, their name
will be dropped from the voter rolls.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;But an initial list
drawn up&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;by the state — and not widely released — shows that a comparison of
voter lists and driver's license information turned up a list of nearly 182,000
people who may not be U.S. citizens.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;State officials,
however, note that some of those on list may have become citizens after first getting
their driver's licenses. Still, the decision to screen the voter rolls for
non-citizens could result in tens of thousands voters being dropped in the
middle of a critical election year.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;President Barack Obama
won Florida four years ago, but recent polls have shown that he is
neck-and-neck with likely GOP nominee Mitt Romney. The 2000 election between
George W. Bush and Al Gore was decided by just 537 votes in the Sunshine State.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"The Department
of State has a duty under both state and federal laws to ensure that the voter
registration rolls are current and accurate," said Chris Cate, a
department spokesman.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;There are currently
more than 11 million active registered voters in the state.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Florida law requires
voters to be a U.S. citizen residing in the state. Florida also does not allow
someone to vote if they are a convicted felon and have not had their civil
rights restored.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;State officials said
they did not know yet if any of the people on the list voted illegally in past
elections.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The state has been
responsible for helping screen voters since 2006 when it launched a statewide
voter registration database.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Prior to the launch of
the database, Florida had come under fire for previous efforts to remove felons
from the voting rolls, including a purge that happened right before the 2000
presidential election. An effort to remove felons back in 2004 was halted after
it was discovered that the list drawn up by the state had problems.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The state database is
supposed to check the names of registered voters against other databases,
including ones that contain the names of people who have died and people who
have been sent to prison.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Driver's license
numbers had been used to verify the identity of someone who had registered to
vote but apparently the state was not checking citizenship status prior to last
year. The state does not give driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, but it
does grant them to legal visitors.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Cate said the list of
182,000 people was drawn up by checking first and last names, date of birth and
either a driver's license number, a Social Security number or an address. Most
of the matches had identical driver's license numbers, names and birthdates. A
state document shows that out of the nearly 182,000 identified that more than
172,000 were active voters, meaning they had cast ballots in recent elections
or registered recently.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The state is taking
the matches using other databases to try to confirm if the voter is not a U.S.
citizen. Florida has asked for access to a federal database maintained by the
Department of Homeland Security but so far the U.S. government has turned the
state down.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The initial list of
more than 2,600 voters given out by the state to supervisors shows the names of
people who registered all the way from the late `50s to as recently as 2011.
One Hillsborough County man on the list registered to vote in 1959.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Some have questioned
the timing of the state's push to remove voters from the rolls. It comes while
Florida is still in court over a 2011 law that curtailed early voting hours and
tightened rules for groups registering voters. Legislators said the law was needed
to protect the integrity of the state's elections, but the U.S. Department of
Justice has questioned some of the changes.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"Of course
Floridians are entitled to have confidence in the integrity of the voter rolls,
and anyone not eligible should be removed and not permitted to vote," said
Howard Simon, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of
Florida. "But the `potentials,' `possible,' `might-be that are the basis
for this initiative by the Secretary of State don't yet add up to voter fraud.
Based on Florida's regrettable experience with voter purges, it would be a
mistake to rely on the accuracy of the state's data."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Republican Party of
Florida chairman Lenny Curry defended the state push.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"To now learn
that thousands of illegal votes could be cast across our state is chilling and
threatens the confidence people need to have in our elections," Curry said
in a statement." Any amount of fraud or illegality in this system is too
much."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
If the U.S. Supreme Court rules in favor of the Obama Administration
and against Arizona on illegal&amp;nbsp;immigration, it means the U.S. Supreme Court &amp;nbsp;support illegal immigrants voting in American
elections.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9196003358708575261-2050345902781153801?l=marcchamot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Electoral tsunamis awaiting Obama 2012. Most battleground states Obama needs to win, are anti-same sex marriages.&lt;/div&gt;

Who noticed Barack Obama’s remark in a sit-down interview with ABC's Robin Roberts, who says our troops, Marines, Army, Air force and the Navy, those service people, soldiers are all fighting on his behalf, Obama said “on my behalf,” instead of our behalf?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

Folks, did we elect some kind of a king, or royalty here? That is very arrogant and very conceded thing to say as president.&amp;nbsp;Those troops, our prized soldiers are fighting and dying on our behalf, not for our self appointed and&amp;nbsp;delusional&amp;nbsp;grand master Hussein Barack Obama.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;"I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or Marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don't Ask Don't Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married,"&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

President Obama also endorsed marriage between homosexuals on national TV, trashing our common traditions of marriages between man and woman. But no sooner Obama endorsed ‘gay marriage,’ money, and checks began pouring in from Hollywood! His chief fundraiser George Clooney got him millions!&lt;/div&gt;

Somehow a Texas jailbird got into West Virginia’s presidential primary. The inmate, Keith Judd, is serving time at the Federal Correctional Institution in Texarkana, Texas, for making threats at the University of New Mexico in 1999. Obama received 59 percent of the vote to Judd's 41 percent.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;For some West Virginia Democrats, simply running against Obama is enough to get Judd votes. "I voted against Obama," said Ronnie Brown, a 43-year-old electrician from Cross Lanes who called himself a conservative Democrat. "I don't like him. He didn't carry the state before and I'm not going to let him carry it again."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;When asked which presidential candidate he voted for, Brown said, "That guy out of Texas."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Judd got on the state ballot by paying a $2,500 fee and filing a form known as a notarized certification of announcement, said Jake Glance, a spokesman for the Secretary of State's office.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Attracting at least 15 percent of the vote would normally qualify a candidate for a delegate to the Democratic National Convention. But state Democratic Party Executive Director Derek Scarbro said no one has filed to be a delegate for Judd. The state party also believes that Judd has failed to file paperwork required of presidential candidates, but officials continue to research the matter, Scarbro said.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;In Oklahoma, anti-abortion protester Randall Terry got 18 percent of the primary vote. A lawyer from Tennessee, John Wolfe, pulled nearly 18,000 votes in the Louisiana primary. In Alabama, 18 percent of Democratic voters chose "uncommitted" in the primary rather than vote for Obama.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Obama's energy policies and the Environmental Protection Agency's handling of mining-related permits have incurred the wrath of West Virginia's coal industry.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;With the state the nations second-biggest producer of this fossil fuel, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and Sen. Joe Manchin —both Democrats have championed the industry — have declined to say whether they will support Obama in November. Each overcame low-profile opponents in Tuesday's primary. Manchin refused afterward to say whether he voted for Obama.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;The latest state-by-state Gallup poll, released in January, found Obama with a 32.7 percent approval rating in West Virginia. The president had a lower approval rating only in Utah, Idaho, Oklahoma and Wyoming.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Brown, the Cross Lanes electrician, did not know of Judd's background when he voted. He went to the polls before his 22-year-old daughter, Emily. She planned to vote for Judd, too, until she found out where he has been living. "I'm not voting for somebody who's in prison," she said. She was certain about one thing: "I just want to vote against Barack Obama."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

This shows how Obama far Obama has fallen electorally since 2008. 8 million differences in votes to McCain’s, I just don’t see How Barack Obama can make it into another term, with those horrific numbers?&amp;nbsp; I still believe, Obama will be wiped off the map in 2012. Electoral backlashes, the waves are coming back, no, it’s going to be an electoral tsunami over Hussein Barack Obama in 2012.&lt;/div&gt;

On his same sex marriage approvals, what was Barack Obama thinking? Most of the states that Obama needs to win electoral votes are from battleground states, which staunchly don’t support nor approve of same sex marriages in high margins.&lt;/div&gt;

But that’s where the president is in North Carolina, where a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage passed Tuesday by 61 percent to 39 percent.

&lt;i&gt;North Carolina is no ordinary state. In 2012, it occupies a central location in the political universe – it’s not only a key swing state, it’s the place that will host the Democratic National Convention this summer. Obama won it in 2008, arguably his biggest reach on Election Night, and hoped accepting his re-nomination there would keep it in his column.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Florida-One day, gay marriage might be enshrined in law across the map. But it won’t be until after the current generation of senior citizens passes away. Not only do they oppose it by lopsided margins, they also vote in disproportionately high percentages.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Consider this fact about Florida, a state with an unusually large population of seniors. Four years ago, Barack Obama and an anti-gay marriage constitutional amendment shared the Florida ballot. Obama won the state narrowly, the amendment won by a landslide.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;The president can still win re-election without Florida’s treasure trove of electoral votes. But he’d prefer not to risk it, which could be the side effect of a public affirmation of support for gay marriage in a state as competitive as Florida.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Colorado-The new capital of evangelicalism? No, it’s not in the South. It’s Colorado Springs, according to Christianity Today magazine, which once described the city as having “more mega churches, mega seminaries, and mega-Christian activity than any other American city.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;

&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;After Denver, Colorado Springs is the largest city in the most important state in the Mountain West – the city is bigger than Cleveland or Pittsburgh. Gay marriage is an issue that resonates there among Christian conservatives and it’s the kind of issue that can get evangelical voters very enthusiastic about the prospect of voting for Mitt Romney.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;

&lt;i&gt;The evidence of that came in 2006, when Colorado voters passed an amendment to outlaw gay marriage – a measure strongly supported by the Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family. While the state voted in favor of the constitutional amendment, 55 percent to 45 percent, in Colorado Springs’ El Paso County the numbers were far greater — 66 percent voted for the measure. More pro-amendment votes were cast there than in any other county in the state.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Colorado is the kind of place that helps Team Obama sleep a little more soundly at night, because it’s a hedge in case Florida flips back Republican, or Ohio or Virginia drifts back to red. Any leg-up for Romney there would be bad news back in Chicago.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Nevada-Utah may be the LDS heartland, but Nevada ranks among the top 5 states in terms of percentage of Mormon population. And the LDS church opposes gay marriage.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;

&lt;i&gt;While Mormons aren’t a significant Democratic constituency — and especially not with Romney in the race — it’s best not to antagonize any constituency in a swing state like Nevada, where the presidential outcome in 2000 and 2004 was decided by less than 25,000 votes.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;

&lt;i&gt;“Overall in Nevada, it hurts. To what degree is hard to determine,” said Pete Ernaut, a former GOP state legislator and a confidant of Gov. Brian Sandoval. “The issue here is about a toss-up, with voters about evenly split. But that said, there are key constituencies affected by this, most notably Mormon voters – and specifically Democratic Mormon voters – and that is going to be a difficult issue for the president.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Iowa-In 2009, the Iowa Supreme Court made history with its unanimous decision to allow same-sex marriage.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;

&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;One year later, Iowa voters made history again by ousting three of the justices who handed down that ruling.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The backlash was as extreme as it sounds: their removal from the high court was the first time an Iowa Supreme Court justice wasn’t retained in nearly a half-century.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;

&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;And the issue echoed through the 2010 governor’s race as well. Republican Terry Branstad argued that the court was wrong to strike down the state law banning same-sex marriage and advocated a constitutional amendment to re-institute the ban. His Democratic opponent, Gov. Chad Culver, disagreed on the idea of putting the court decision to a vote.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Culver lost his re-election bid, though not solely because of his position on same-sex marriage. Still, it didn’t help him, and that’s the risk Obama takes there. Obama and Iowa go way back — he’s president today because he dealt Hillary Clinton a third-place finish there in the 2008 caucuses — but it’s a state where just one percentage point divided the presidential nominees in 2000 and 2004.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Missouri-There are many Democrats who already concede Missouri is a lost cause for Obama in 2012, even though he only lost to John McCain there by a razor-close margin in 2008.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Wednesday’s announcement only makes the situation worse. In a state where there’s no room for error, the president has taken a position that places him at odds with 71 percent of the state – at least that’s the percentage that voted to ban gay marriage when it was on the ballot in 2004.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;There’s a very good chance that number has eroded since then. But not enough for it to be an asset, in a state where Obama’s strength in St. Louis, Kansas City and some surrounding suburbs is counterbalanced by the parts of the state that sit squarely in the Bible Belt.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Ohio-It’s often said that the 2004 gay marriage initiative that passed in Ohio played a key role in lifting George W. Bush to victory over John Kerry. Whether that’s true or not – Bush strategist Matthew Dowd argued Wednesday that it’s not – it’s an issue that resonates outside of Democratic vote centers like Columbus and Cleveland.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;In 2004, here’s how state GOP chairman Robert Bennett framed it to the New York Times. “I’d be naïve if I didn’t say it helped,” he said. “And it helped most in what we refer to as the Bible Belt area of southeastern and southwestern Ohio, where we had the largest percentage increase in support for the president.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Recent polls continue to show that a majority in Ohio oppose gay marriage, compared to only about one-third of voters who support it. And, as POLITICO reported Wednesday, when Vice President Joe Biden privately argued for the president to refrain from expressing his support, he flagged two states where there could be a backlash — his native Pennsylvania and Ohio.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9196003358708575261-4057317201460414491?l=marcchamot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Mitt Romney 10% Lead with Independents &amp;amp; Climbing, Surpassing Barack
Obama 49% to 44% in Current Polls &amp;amp; Administration Jobs Unemployment Figures
Bogus, Unemployment Much Higher:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
By Marc Chamot&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Has the fat lady sung on Barack Hussein Obama?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
What’s this we stuff
coming from President Obama? And Move Forward? Barack Obama, during his
speeches, likes to pretend to be middleclass, when in reality he’s a
multi-millionaire, way out of touch from most Americans. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Obviously, we’re not fooled by his phony speeches, because
they are repeats of the ones he used during the 2008 presidential campaign,
laden with failed promises and policies he never carried out.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
We have
seen Barack Obama in action for the past 3 ½ years, nothing accomplished,
nothing but chaos, and continuations of George Bush chaotic presidency and Obama
was a total failure for this country. He has become the&amp;nbsp;illegal&amp;nbsp;aliens' best friend.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
In 2008, there was total pandemonium, and electricity in the air with angry voters from the Bush era, when Obama ran for president in 2008. That fire for Obama in 2008, has completely soured and turned into voter anger.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
The handwriting’s on the wall; it’s all over for Obama, but
the crime, for his second term. The good numbers are quickly fading away for Obama, and he’s got
six months to turn it around, but there is not enough time to do it.&lt;a href="http://marcchamot.blogspot.com/2012/05/voter-id-works-folks-millions-of.html"&gt; Obama has lost millions of&amp;nbsp;phony&amp;nbsp;registered voters that&amp;nbsp;corruptible&amp;nbsp;ACORN,&lt;/a&gt; supposedly created for him in 2008.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
His support is waning,&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/four-reasons-obama%E2%80%99s-2012-re-election-campaign-had-a-bad-week.html"&gt;Obama
semi-officially launched his re-election campaign—&lt;/a&gt;“as opposed to the
hundreds of “non-political” appearances he has made over the past three
years--at a rally Saturday at Ohio State University. Some 14,000 supporters
filled the arena--or rather, did not fill the arena.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Coverage of the event
focused heavily on the 4,000 empty seats, and Obama’s senior campaign adviser&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.mediaite.com/tv/abcs-jake-tapper-to-david-axelrod-are-voters-less-enthusiastic-about-obama-this-time-around/"&gt;David
Axelrod was pressed by ABC’s Jake Tapper&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;about whether the turnout
demonstrated a lack of “enthusiasm” for the President.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
According to recent polls, Mitt Romney has captured 10% of
independent voters and climbing. &amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;“&lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0512/75973.html" title="GWU-Politico Presidential poll"&gt;The latest Battleground poll by George
Washington University-Politico&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has Romney up by 10 points (48 to 38
percent) over Obama among independent voters. Overall, it’s a dead heat, with
Romney garnering 48 percent; Obama 47 percent.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/daily_presidential_tracking_poll"&gt;The
Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday&lt;/a&gt; “shows Mitt
Romney earning 49% of the vote and President Obama attracting 44% support.
Three percent (3%) would vote for a third party candidate, while another three
percent (3%) are undecided.” &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
And with the Obama fake jobs report, unemployment is much bleaker than what
the Obama Administration claims:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;“&lt;a href="http://conservativebyte.com/2012/02/explaining-obamas-fake-job-numbers/"&gt;Seasonal
adjustment is not just what the guess is about the number of jobs from month to
month&lt;/a&gt;. It also includes adjustment for the size of the labor force. And
that’s how they’re able to play games with the labor force participation rate.
So that might account for a big chunk of the difference here. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;One-point-two million
— and this is their number — from December to January, 1.2 million people left
the workforce, just left it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;That’s the labor force participation rate, and
they left. That’s half the number, or half the difference right there.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;If you
take the number 132.9 jobs in December, 130.4 million in January, that’s 2.5
million fewer jobs, 1.2 million, about half of that that they just threw out in
a seasonal adjustment of people that left the workforce.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
You see folks; trick on the numbers, the Obama
administration is not including the millions of unemployed, who have run out of
unemployment benefits, and who are still unemployed, including those long terms
unemployed like myself. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
I had predicted in my past articles, just as Rush Limbaugh on his radio show, it’s going to be a catastrophic landslide loss for Barack Hussein Obama in 2012. Nobody believes it, but us, watch and see this nightmare unfolding for the Obama-Democrats coming this November.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
It doesn't matter about the Obama unemployment figures and lies, Obama will feel the crushing anger of the those unemployed voters in 2012. Even left-wing Medias in the tank for Barack Obama, won't be able save him. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Voter ID Works Folks! Millions of Registered Hispanic Voters,
Possibly Illegals, Black/White Ex-Cons, Dead People &amp;amp; Derelicts With no ID’s, Mysteriously Disappear from the Obama 2008 Elections:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
By Marc Chamot&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Did Barack Hussein Obama win by voter fraud in 2008?&amp;nbsp;The good news is voter ID that President Obama fought so
hard to overturn; has just bitten him in the proverbial butt.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Now with Acorn gone, was there massive elections fraud in 2008 for Obama?&amp;nbsp;It seems like massive registrations that occurred in 2008
for Obama has dramatically declined. Millions of voters, mainly Hispanics within the Democratic Party have disappeared in thin air.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
In other words my friends, Obama isn’t getting their
votes his time, the millions of fraudulent votes of 2008 may not exist for the
Obama 2012 re-election campaigns. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/voter-registration-down-among-hispanics-blacks/2012/05/04/gIQAOqEY1T_story_1.html"&gt;According
to the Washington Post;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;i&gt;“the number
of black and Hispanic registered voters has fallen sharply since 2008, posing a
serious challenge to the Obama campaign in an election that could turn on the
participation of minority voters.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;In the 2008 election,
robust turnout among black and Latino voters is credited with putting Obama
over the top in key swing states, including Virginia and New Mexico.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Voter rolls typically
shrink in non-presidential election years and registrations among whites fell
at roughly the same rate, but this is the first time in nearly four decades
that the number of registered Hispanics has dropped significantly.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;That figure fell 5
percent across the country, to about 11 million, according to the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/socdemo/voting/index.html"&gt;Census Bureau&lt;/a&gt;.
But in some politically important swing states, the decline among Hispanics,
who are considered critical in the 2012 presidential contest, is much higher:
just over 28 percent in New Mexico, for example, and about 10 percent in
Florida.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;For blacks, whose
registration numbers are down 7 percent nationwide, and Hispanics, the large
decrease is attributed to the ailing economy, which forced many Americans to
move in search of work or because of other financial upheaval.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;“The only explanation
out there is the massive job loss and home mortgage foreclosures, which
disproportionately affected minorities,” said Antonio Gonzalez, president of
the William C. Velasquez Institute, a nonpartisan policy group that focuses on
Latinos. “When you move, you lose your registration.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Political strategists
and election experts are divided on whether registrations will rise to their
previous levels. But the prospect of a tight race between President Obama and
Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican nominee, has placed great importance on
getting eligible Americans to register and vote.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The decline in
minority registration&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;“is obviously an area of concern,” said Democratic
strategist Simon Rosenberg, president of NDN, a left-leaning think tank.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;But he predicted the
Obama campaign “will have enough money and enough focus to mitigate the
problem.&amp;nbsp;. . .&amp;nbsp;They have five months to get the electorate looking
the way they want.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The GOP is also
watching the shifting voter registration numbers, tracking active Republican
voters in swing states and making sure they are still registered. In some
places, the number of voters registered as Republicans is catching up with
Democrats.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;“We have really closed
the gap in key battleground states,” said Republican National Committee
spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski, pointing to the relative parity Republicans has
reached with Democrats in Iowa and Colorado.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The president’s
reelection effort is focusing early this year on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/04/26/2770182/president-obamas-campaign-launches.html"&gt;voter
registration,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;which typically happens just before an election, between
September and November. Last weekend, the campaign held a series of voter
registration training sessions in a dozen states. In Florida, where the number
of registered Hispanic voters has dropped by more than 140,000, the campaign
trained hundreds of volunteers to sign up voters.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Those efforts, say
campaign officials, have been complicated by laws approved by state
legislatures since 2008, including some that place additional requirements on
groups that register voters.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;“It is disheartening
to see voting becoming harder in states across the country,” said Katie Hogan,
a spokeswoman for the Obama campaign. She said the campaign is “doing the
challenging work of registering voters, even when Republican legislation is
trying to make it more difficult.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;A&lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/republicans-rewriting-state-election-laws-in-ways-that-could-hurt-democrat/2011/09/15/gIQApcuhVK_story.html"&gt;&amp;nbsp;dozen
state legislatures passed rules&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;last year requiring voters to present
state-issued photo IDs when they arrive at the polls, according to the National
Conference of State Legislatures, although in four states the laws were vetoed
by Democratic governors. The bills continue to be a hot topic in state houses.
Pennsylvania’s governor signed a voter ID bill in March, and the Virginia
General Assembly also recently sent a voter ID bill to the governor.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Florida and Ohio will
cut nearly in half the number of days for early voting, and Florida lawmakers
reversed rules that had made it easier for former felons to vote.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Florida also passed
new rules governing groups that register voters, requiring them to turn in
completed voter registration forms within 48 hours or risk fines. Groups
previously had 10 days to file the forms. As a result, the League of Women
Voters, the Boy Scouts and several other organizations that register voters
halted efforts in Florida.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Opponents of the laws
say Republican legislatures have attempted to tamp down turnout among
minorities, who tend to vote for Democrats.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;“We’re seeing the
squeeze put on voters of color. They were hit by the economy, they have to
re-register to vote, and now they are hit by new registration requirements,”
said Judith Browne Dianis, a civil rights lawyer and co-director of the
Advancement Project, which is challenging the laws in several states.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Supporters of the laws
counter that they are aimed at preventing voter fraud.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;“For decades we’ve
dealt with fraud and irregularities, and those concerns have to be addressed as
well,” said Ana Navarro, a Florida Republican activist who supports the changes
to the state’s voting laws. “If you look at almost any election in Miami-Dade, there
are always allegations of fraud.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Together, the number
of registered blacks and Hispanics across the country declined by 2 million
from 2008 to late 2010, the most recent data available from the Census Bureau’s
Current Population Survey.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The number of
registered blacks is just over 16 million. Among whites, registrations dropped
6 percent to 104 million.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The drop is attributed
not only to Americans moving from their homes, but also the assumption — by one
in four voters — that their registration is automatically updated when they
move, according to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.pewstates.org/research/reports/inaccurate-costly-and-inefficient-85899378437"&gt;a
report&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;by the Pew Center on the States.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Nationally, about one
in eight Americans moved between 2008 and 2010, with higher numbers among
members of the armed services, young people and those living in communities
affected by the economic downturn.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Nevada, a swing state
with one of the highest foreclosure rates in the nation, is a prime example. In
Clark County — which is 22 percent Hispanic — election officials found that
more than 20 percent of voters were no longer living at the addresses on file,
said David Becker, director of election initiatives for the Pew Center. Such
voters are purged from the voter rolls.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;“Voters aren’t even
thinking about it, and no one is trying to engage with them until 30 or 60 days
before a presidential election,” Becker said.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Among Latinos, the
decline has altered a trend of steady growth. Given that 12 million Latinos
were registered to vote in 2008, some analysts had projected the number would
grow to 13 million in 2010 and 14 million this election cycle. Instead, it fell
in 2010 to 11 million.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;“Everyone is saying
the Latino vote is rocketing to the moon,” said Gonzalez of the Velasquez
Institute. “It has been growing, but it stopped.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Maria Teresa Kumar,
executive director of Voto Latino — a nonpartisan group focused on registering
young Hispanic voters — said the economy has made it “a lot harder to target
individuals.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;But, she added, “if
you just look at Latino youth, you will have 2.4 million [potential] new Latino
voters. That’s three congressional districts.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;To get a jump-start,
Kumar’s team is touring with Mana, a popular Mexican rock band, and collecting
e-mail addresses to push voter engagement.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;

&lt;i&gt;The NAACP will launch
its voter registration campaign next week and will begin hiring field staff in
a dozen states, including Florida, Georgia, Virginia and Pennsylvania. It will
also mail voter registration forms to more than 1 million blacks who will turn
18 years old before the election.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;

&lt;i&gt;“There have been a
significant set of challenges that have been put before African American voters
this election cycle, and us starting earlier serves to build momentum,” said Marvin
Randolph, NAACP’s senior vice president for campaigns.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Obama, who won by 8 million votes in 2008 over Senator John
McCain, but these registered voters from 2008, could number in the upper 10 million voters in losses for Barack Hussein Obama 2012. The Obama camp has been
frantically been trying to disprove those very damaging, Washington Post figures as
being totally false.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9196003358708575261-3253244852501906637?l=marcchamot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

For Obama Because of Race, While Ignoring that 95% of Blacks Voted Against White Presidential
Candidates Because of Racism:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
By Marc Chamot&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
I am getting sick and tired of liberal racial "double standards." Enough with it, and it's time to put a stop to it!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;“The New York Times sent&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/04/us/politics/4-years-later-race-is-still-issue-for-some-voters.html?pagewanted=all"&gt;reporter
Sabrina Tavernise&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to the battleground state of Ohio, to the
blue-collar town of Steubenville in pursuit of a pet theory: Barack Obama may
struggle to win because some whites are racist. Tavernise starts by suggesting
this could be a problem with Democrats, but “ultraconservatives” quickly
surface.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
New York Times are at it again folks, throwing the race card
for Obama. They are trolling battleground states to find racism, regardless
that 95% of blacks voted for Obama because of race, and they will again,
regardless of his failed administration record so they want to find white
racists.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
I heard a radio show host the other day say, "every time black folks see Obama on TV, they say that's my man! Regardless of his&amp;nbsp;inept&amp;nbsp;policies. And black people have not fared well under Obama, but they'll vote for him anyway, because he's&amp;nbsp;black. But they'll cry foul when whites do it. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
So what do you call that? Double standards for white folks. So it's&amp;nbsp;OK&amp;nbsp;for blacks to play the
race card on white presidential candidates? So when whites do it for their&amp;nbsp;preferred&amp;nbsp;candidates, they'll get crucified and called racists by liberals and the New York Times. That’s a crock and load of crap! &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
In other words folks, with these demented people, it is okay
for blacks to be racists against white presidential candidates, but not for whites voting
against Obama in favor of a white candidate. This country has turned lunatic! &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Whites will be called out on racism towards Obama it if it occurs;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tim-graham/2012/05/06/ny-times-goes-hunting-racist-ultraconservatives-ohio-who-wont-support-ob"&gt;NY
Times Goes Hunting for Racist 'Ultraconservatives' in Ohio Who Won't Support
Obama:&lt;/a&gt; &lt;i&gt;“The locals were most quotable
in the Times when made undocumented suggestions like “you had all these whites
saying, ‘Oh, there’s another vote from some drug addict.’” They also associated
the notion of racial discrimination in job interviews with anti-Obama
sentiment:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Stephanie Montgomery,
who is black and a graduate of Franciscan University in Steubenville, said her
race came up so often in her job search in this area that she developed a
technique for recognizing when it was happening. The sign: when warmth on the
phone turns cool in person, and “they lose eye contact with you.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You almost need a corporate environment to get a fair shot,” she said while
standing at a job fair in the Steubenville mall. She said that she did not vote
for Mr. Obama in 2008 because she preferred Mr. McCain’s more conservative
platform, but that Mr. Obama seemed to be a lightning rod for criticism, in
part because of his race.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“He’s everything they hate,” she said, referring to&amp;nbsp;ultraconservatives,
“an affirmative-action baby, who got the Nobel Prize without deserving it.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Franciscan University
is a very traditional Catholic college (my son attended it for a year). It’s
very pro-life, so it would make sense that Montgomery might not be your ideal
Obama voter in 2008. But did she say “ultraconservatives,” or is the Times
suddenly projecting?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here was Tavernise’s methodology in her hunt for racism: "In 50 interviews
in this county over three days last week, 5 people raised race directly as a
reason they would not vote for Mr. Obama," Tavernise reports. She did not
ask "specifically about race, but about their views on the candidates
generally," so that "those who raised the issue did so of their own
accord."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304752804577384220161829012.html?mod=googlenews_wsj"&gt;James
Taranto at The Wall Street Journal&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;theorized, “If 45 of 50 interview
subjects didn't mention race, one could just as easily take the position that
the glass is 90% full rather than 10% empty.” But Tavernise, and the Times felt
that even a small amount of what they perceive to be racism, could be crucial
in a close election.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It’s also ridiculous for the Times to imply through its mining for quotes that
the concept that Obama “got the Nobel Prize without deserving it” is racist.&amp;nbsp;Obama&amp;nbsp;felt
he won the Nobel Prize without deserving it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Tavernise sometimes
didn't find the quotes that actually would match her thesis:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Many who raised race
as a concern cast Mr. Obama as a flawed candidate carried to victory by blacks
voting for the first time. Others expressed concerns indirectly, through suspicions
about Mr. Obama’s background and questions about his faith.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Louis Tripodi, a baker in Steubenville who voted for Mr. Obama, blames talk
radio and Republican rhetoric for encouraging such attitudes. “‘He’s a Muslim,
he’s a socialist, he’s not born in this country,’ ” he said. “It’s got a lot to
do with race.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Anyone who reads these
sentences can see it’s the liberal who brings up Obama’s background and faith,
and assumes its "racist"&amp;nbsp;for radio hosts to suggest Obama is
selling socialistic ideas like nationalizing the auto companies and the health
care system. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Felsoci was talking
about blacks voting overwhelmingly for Obama. It might not be “black
ignorance,” in that black voters are stupid, but it might be “black disinterest
in the facts, voting blindly on race.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2012/02/12/huffpo-samuel-l-jacksons-i-voted-barack-because-he-was-black-surprisi"&gt;Samuel
L. Jackson:&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;"I voted for Barack because he was black. Because
that's why other folks vote for other people -- because they look like
them...That’s American politics, pure and simple. [Obama’s] message didn’t mean
[bleep] to me.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;But the Times never
noticed that comment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When recent polls show black voters prefer Obama 90 percent to 4, why aren’t
the Times sending one of their reporters into neighborhood bars to ask them if
they’re racist. If as the Times suggest in its headline, that it's sad
"Race Is Still an Issue for Some Voters,” why don’t they write about
blacks?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;That is why liberals and the New York Times cannot be trusted anymore &amp;nbsp;they are sheer&amp;nbsp;hypocrites!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9196003358708575261-4686058968513864500?l=marcchamot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Pandora’s Box Open; What France &amp;amp; Greek Elections Show, Taking Away Existing Unfunded Entitlements from People can be Political Killers, then Why Create More?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
By Marc Chamot&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Both, Republicans and Democrats should be ashamed of themselves, for creating entitlements that the government cannot afford to render.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
My take on the European elections is simple; what happens
when you take candy away from a child?&amp;nbsp;He or she cries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What European elections
show that strict austerity measures directed on the public, but not government
employees can be political killers!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
People in general don’t like to have their benefits screwed
around with, nor their retirement age. What France and Greek elections show, is
that most people, those who are receiving entitlement benefits are the largest
voter base. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
What France and Greece have shown; it’s going to be
virtually impossible for U.S. politicians to do drastic reforms on Social
Security, Medicare and VA Medical Benefits.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
So, my best advice to Washington congress and the president,
if we don’t have the money to finance people’s entitlements, then stop creating
new ones. &amp;nbsp;Get it? &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
For example, former President George Bush’s &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicare_Prescription_Drug,_Improvement,_and_Modernization_Act"&gt;Medicare
Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act&lt;/a&gt; of 2003, &lt;i&gt;its most touted change is the introduction
of an&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entitlement" title="Entitlement"&gt;entitlement&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;benefit for&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prescription_drug" title="Prescription drug"&gt;prescription
drugs&lt;/a&gt;, through tax breaks and subsidies.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;In the years since
Medicare's creation in 1965, the role of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prescription_drug" title="Prescription drug"&gt;prescription
drugs&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in U.S. patient care has significantly increased. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;As new and expensive
drugs have come into use, patients, particularly&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senior_citizens" title="Senior citizens"&gt;senior
citizens&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;for whom Medicare was designed, have found prescriptions
harder to afford. The MMA is meant to address this problem.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The benefit is funded
in a complex way, reflecting the diverse priorities of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobbying" title="Lobbying"&gt;lobbyists&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and
constituencies whose support was needed:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;It provides a subsidy
for large employers to discourage them from eliminating private prescription
coverage to retired workers (a key&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Association_of_Retired_Persons" title="American Association of Retired Persons"&gt;AARP&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;goal);&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;It prohibits the
Federal government from negotiating discounts with drug companies;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;It prevents the
government from establishing a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formulary_(pharmacy)" title="Formulary (pharmacy)"&gt;formulary&lt;/a&gt;, though does not prevent private
providers such as&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_maintenance_organization" title="Health maintenance organization"&gt;HMOs&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;from doing so.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
And now; Obama’s healthcare initiative, and commonly known
as Obamacare, which will cost us billions more in taxpayer dollars for this
newly created entitlement, while Social Security and Medicare has run amok and
may go bankrupt within a few years. This is stupid, just as is foolish! &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Do you want more stupid? California is going broke; they
virtually have no more money left. They have run out good businesses out of the
state, through their un-elected environmentalists boards out of Sacramento. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
They provided more funding for illegal immigrants medical
healthcares, free schooling and including college educations.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Do you want to know why our Social Security and Medicare is
going broke? Millions of foreign immigrants, green carders, legal residents, and mainly those from mainland China, and Latinos are allowed to collect on SSI,
Social Security, and Medicare for life after only paying five years into the
program.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;That is exactly what's wrong&amp;nbsp;with&amp;nbsp;he system.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Why should we all suffer when we put our money into it, and then it's being stolen by people, who didn't invest into Social Security and Medicare in their lifetimes? That is absolutely wrong.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
What are the lessons we can learn from Greece and France?
Stop creating new costly entitlements and not include immigrants, or people who don’t
pay into the system, because it’s going to be bloody murder at election time for politicians to
take them away later.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9196003358708575261-5376973838059780741?l=marcchamot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

With Republican Mitt Romney now his party’s presumptive presidential nominee, both his campaign and President Obama’s re-election effort are barnstorming the nation for votes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For former Massachusetts Gov. Romney, this means recapturing the enthusiasm of the 2010 midterm GOP rout, especially among white Republican leaning voting blocs concerned about taxes and excessive government spending.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the Democratic president, it means tapping into the groundswell that got him elected in 2008, particularly when it comes to minority voters.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="body" id="ctrlContent_columns_0_ctrlMainColumn_maincolumn_3_pnlBody" style="clear: left;"&gt;
Obama and the Democrats believe demography is on their side. Census 2010 made abundantly clear that racial and ethnic minorities, especially Hispanics, are dominating national growth and will for&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.brookings.edu/opinions/2011/0325_census_demographics_frey.aspx" style="color: #053769;"&gt;decades to come&lt;/a&gt;. The Democratic agenda— favoring broader federal support for medical care, housing, and education seems designed to curry the favor of these groups, which played a huge role in tipping the balance in his favor in several&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.frey-demographer.org/reports/R-2009-2_HowRaceAffect2008Election.pdf" style="color: #053769;"&gt;key swing states&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But while demography is often destiny, it’s not necessarily a slam dunk that minorities can carry the day for Obama this time. The reasons have to do with the complications of translating pure demographics into votes and the outsized role that the nation’s still large white population can exert on national politics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 2010 midterm Republican surge is an example. With the economy in freefall and disenchantment with early Obama initiatives rising, even sympathetic white voting blocs—like college graduate women— fled the Democrats in what The National Journal’s Ron Brownstein termed a “&lt;a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/print/2011/01/the-democrats-white-flight/69047/" style="color: #053769;"&gt;white flight&lt;/a&gt;.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course the president's public approval ratings have risen since then, and the economy has picked up some. The country is clearly not at the same place economically as it was in 2008 or 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recently released Census Bureau Current Population Survey data from January 2012 permit a simulation of this year’s election under different white and minority voting scenarios.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They show that Obama’s reelection is even more dependent on minority support than in 2008—and not just in the most racially diverse states.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two factors are key to translating minority population into votes in 2012: eligibility and turnout.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;The minority/eligible voter disconnect.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;The minority representation in the total population overstates its presence among eligible voters because our fastest growing minorities are either too young to vote or are less likely to be citizens, even when here legally. For every 100 Hispanic residents in the United States, only 44 are eligible voters aged 18 and over and U.S. citizens. In contrast, 78 of every 100 white residents are able to vote. In this respect, Asians are more like Hispanics and blacks are more like whites. So even though minorities are growing faster than whites overall, the latter are more heavily represented among eligible voters (71 percent) than in the total population (63 percent;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/Files/rc/opinions/2012/0501_race_election_frey/0501_race_elections_frey_figure1.jpg" style="color: #053769;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Figure 1&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;img alt="" height="375" src="http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/Files/rc/opinions/2012/0501_race_election_frey/0501_race_elections_frey_figure1.jpg" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial;" width="397" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&amp;nbsp;This disparity is even larger in many fast growing “new minority” states. In Nevada, whites comprise 51 percent of the population but fully 61 percent of eligible voters. Other states where minority voters are strongly underrepresented include Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida (&lt;a href="http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/Files/rc/opinions/2012/0501_race_election_frey/0501_race_election_frey_table1.pdf" style="color: #053769;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Table 1&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Further diminishing minority electoral clout is lower voter turnout. In each of the last two elections, the share of eligible minority voters who voted was 15 to 20 percent less than for whites. Turnout rates were smallest for the fast growing Hispanic and Asian populations. As a consequence, the white share of actual voters will&amp;nbsp;be even larger than it is among&amp;nbsp;eligible voters (estimated to be&amp;nbsp;about 75 percent of voters in November).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why minorities mattered in 2008.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Minorities mattered in 2008 for three reasons: first, their relative sizes compared with whites increased in each state; second, their enthusiasm for the Democratic candidate was greater than in 2004; and third, white support for the Republican candidate (John McCain) waned in comparison to the previous election.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The uptick in minority enthusiasm for the first black presidential candidate resulted in higher turnout rates, and larger Democratic vote margins nationally than in 2004 (&lt;a href="http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/Files/rc/opinions/2012/0501_race_election_frey/0501_race_elections_figures2a2b.jpg" style="color: #053769;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Figures 2a and 2b&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;). This was the case in most but not all states, including Nevada and Florida, where Hispanics, blacks, and other minorities turned the tide toward the Democrats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;img alt="" height="532" src="http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/Files/rc/opinions/2012/0501_race_election_frey/0501_race_elections_figures2a2b.jpg" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial;" width="397" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Often overlooked, but just as important, was weaker white Republican support in terms of both turnout and margin. Although whites dominated the electorate in states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Indiana, their tepid support for McCain opened the door for those states’ much smaller minority populations to tip the balance to Obama. In more diverse states like North Carolina and Virginia, minorities would not have made the difference were it not for sharply lower white Republican support than in 2004.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Minorities and the 2012 election.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;As we approach November, minorities will account for a slightly larger share of eligible voters than in 2008. At the same time, white support for the Republican candidate may be greater than in 2008. Which dynamic will prevail?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Three simulations—based on January 2012 eligible voter populations in every state (&lt;a href="http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/Files/rc/opinions/2012/0501_race_election_frey/0501_race_election_frey_table2.pdf" style="color: #053769;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Table 2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;), but with different assumptions about white and minority turnout and voting—provide clues as to November’s possible results Each simulation assesses how many states and Electoral College votes Obama and Romney would win, and for which states minorities are responsible for the win (states where whites voted for the losing candidate).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scenario A, the best case for Democrats, assumes that the 2008 turnout and voting patterns again apply to new population. If that occurs, Obama wins with 29 states and 358 electoral votes (&lt;a href="http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/Files/rc/opinions/2012/0501_race_election_frey/0501_race_election_frey_map.jpg" style="color: #053769;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Map&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;). These are the same states he took in 2008—changing racial demographics did not put any new states in his column. As with the 2008 win, 10 state victories (representing 39 percent of his electoral votes) can be attributed to minority voters. These states put him over the winning 270 electoral vote threshold.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;img alt="" height="774" src="http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/Files/rc/opinions/2012/0501_race_election_frey/0501_race_election_frey_map.jpg" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial;" width="599" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scenario B, the best-case for Republicans, applies 2004 turnout and voting patterns to the 2012 population. This time, Romney beats Obama with 286 electoral votes in 30 states. The stronger white support for Republicans here, compared with Scenario A, is evident even in big states taken by Democrats, like California, New York and Illinois where whites voted Republican and minorities were responsible for the wins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scenario C signals something closer to what this year’s election promises—strong partisan participation for both whites and minorities. Whites in each state are assumed to mimic their 2004 turnout and voting patterns, reflecting higher levels of enthusiasm for the Republican nominee than in 2008. Minorities are presumed to follow their strong 2008 turnout and voting margins. The results favor an Obama win—but barely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Obama squeaks by with 292 electoral votes spread among 24 states. Of these votes, 230 are attributable to 14 states where the minorities were responsible for his victory (including eight where whites voted for Obama in 2008). In essence, about four-fifths of Obama’s electoral votes are attributable to states won by minorities. Among the new states where Obama depends on minorities under this scenario are California, New York, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. Among the 14 states, Obama’s victories in Florida, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Oregon (66 electoral votes total) would be particularly close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This scenario awards Romney five states that Obama won in 2008: Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, Indiana and Colorado. The 27 states (and 246 electoral votes) that Romney gains under this scenario are not all decisive wins either. While whites vote Republican in each, overall margins are very close in Ohio and Missouri, large states with substantial minority populations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whatever scenario comes to pass, minorities are going to matter in November. The new demography of the electorate guarantees it. Their significance lies not just in racially diverse battleground states on the coasts, Southeast, and Mountain West. If the white Republican base turns out in full force, the votes of African Americans and growing Hispanic populations will be necessary for Democratic wins in a slew of interior states with largely white electorates. The 2012 election will most assuredly be a battle of turnout and its outcome will greatly depend on the enthusiasm of minority voting blocs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
By Marc Chamot &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Is this country infested with illegal Hispanic/Latinos criminal
illegal elements, enough to shoot 3 ICE agents?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Yes, illegal alien thugs with
guns, imagine that? So why&amp;nbsp;weren't&amp;nbsp;any of these criminal thugs killed under
gunfire? That's the mystery question?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
But first; Do American Left-Wing nutcases inspire terrorism?
I think it does, because Osama Bin Laden’s recovered memoires’ says so.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O9bSx3ALI8A/T6QUqfxb-NI/AAAAAAAAG5c/gnaMiu7Fxgo/s1600/msnbc-20080305-olbermann.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O9bSx3ALI8A/T6QUqfxb-NI/AAAAAAAAG5c/gnaMiu7Fxgo/s1600/msnbc-20080305-olbermann.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
What does it tell you, about American leftist liberals, or
liberals in general, when Osama Bin Laden endorses their Network?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
No kidding.
Osama Bin Laden thought that radical and left-wing MSNBC was the most fair and
balanced.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
His favorite clown on the Network was that ultra-nutcase, Keith
Olbermann; Osama’s written work says, he was very disappointed at MSNBC for
firing him.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
And these leftist nutcases are saying that Republican conservatives are the radicals. Wow! Here’s the proof folks, obviously from Osama comments on MSNBC and
Olbermann that anti-Americanism from the left inspires terrorism, there’s no butt’s
about it my friends.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
3 federal ICE agents were shot and wounded going after
criminal illegal alien thugs and gangsters in Petaluma California.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
This was
prompted by a 2010 triple killing in South San Francisco California, where Feds
and local authorities took part in a crime sweep across the Bay Area and
arrested 13 gangsters; most were part of the viscous murderous Hispanic MS-13’s
Norteño gangsters. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
When federal agents came busting through the garage door, shots
were fired from inside the home and injured three ICE agents. What I’m
wondering? With such a force; why weren’t any of those criminals illegal alien gangsters
killed on the spot?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Is President Obama restricting our federal agents from returning fire to shoot and kill, on Latino dangerous criminal illegal gangsters like the MS-13?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Is President Obama putting our agents at risk, just for Latino support? Folks, I find it very incredulous that a federal SWAT team, when three Fed members get shot, but gangsters like MS-13, the perpetrators, who started the gunfire survive to live another day?&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Even in liberal California, folks are getting tired of
illegals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May Day’s massive disruptions of the Bay Area and San Francisco came
and gone, without a whimper.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
The crowd was so small, that people were wondering
if the rapture has come about without their knowing.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
The May 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt;, in the May Day marches support in
most parts such as San Francisco, and Bay Area fizzled into thin air. The
customary May 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; pro-illegal immigration marches and the Occupy movements
are collapsing. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
What’s most interesting, illegal immigrant outlook for the
Bay Area wasn’t that good either. In the past May Day marches and demonstrations
were huge, laden with Hispanics/Latinos, among other races, whites and blacks,
who went out in masses for illegal immigrants’ and workers rights, but not this
time!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
People saw through their façade, major local unions and
their government employees, got the royal proverbial finger from the populace. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
People have concluded that these organizations are made up
of not only leftist and liberals, but it’s made up of greedy government employees
and their unions. It is also made up of violent communist anarchists and pro-open
borders and pro-illegal immigration backers, of which most sane thinking folks are
finally realizing that this is not their cause. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Actually, it’s the economy stupid and some liberals are
finally waking up to what these people are all about. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Most people have come to the conclusion that these people
and these marches don’t benefit them one bit. Those May Day protestors are way
out of whack from the majority’s core beliefs, people in the Bay Area are also
realizing that these people are only in it for themselves, not for the rest.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Chief Executive Magazine's&amp;nbsp;Poll of CEO’s;&amp;nbsp;California Absolute Worst in Nation to do Business, While Texas is Number One!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
By Marc Chamot&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Mama, don’t let your states grow up to be California; Chief
executives from major companies throughout the land, handpicked California as
the worst place in the nation to do business. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Liberal policies and agendas are destroying California. California
is going totally broke folks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;So what California liberals are hoping for, is a
Democratic takeover of the U.S. House and Senate and presidency, so that they
can get more of those deficits killing bailouts that liberals love, taxing to finance the poor and keeping radical environment policies over business and jobs interests. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
With endless migrations of poor Asian Chinese from Asia that have to be sustained and maintained through California charities and welfares systems. A state that protects close to 5 million illegal aliens, it is not too hard to see that the state is going downwards, bankrupt.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Numerous California cities have already filed for bankruptcies.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
You drive through most San Francisco neighborhoods, chief
city for immigrants of all California combined with Asians and Latinos,
including illegal aliens’ and immigrant neighborhoods throughout the city are
decaying beyond recognition. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Filth and trash scattered all over, and houses are not properly
maintained and streets are in shambles, resembling the surface of the moon with
so many pot holes. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5TwCmaAAFS8/T6LUHU4OOxI/AAAAAAAAG34/ycVY7lsUc28/s1600/California+welfare+for+immigrants.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5TwCmaAAFS8/T6LUHU4OOxI/AAAAAAAAG34/ycVY7lsUc28/s640/California+welfare+for+immigrants.JPG" width="316" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
You see my friends; San Francisco public employees are
stealing taxpayer moneys in salaries out of greed, while many foreign
immigrants aren’t contributing fair shares of taxes, but are straining the city’s
and the state’s welfare systems. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
The liberal multi-cultural policies of the wealthy
supporting the state’s immigrant poor is not sustainable, because when wealth
abandons the state due to excessive taxations, regulations and fees and there is
no more money available. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Taking more than what they give. In other words, good
taxpaying companies and corporations are being chased out; leaving the state in
droves, while leaving poor immigrants behind, to populate the state, which the
state has to provide taxpayer financed support for those immigrants. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Supporting millions of immigrants who have never contributed
financially, nor paid any taxes to the state or federal government in their
lives! &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
So, business executives have named California the absolutely
worst state for business for the eighth year in a row, says Chief Executive Magazine.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;“&lt;a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/47275551/ns/local_news-orange_county_ca/#.T6LBfrNYtnQ"&gt;The
publication surveyed 650 chief executives about states based on such factors as
business taxation and regulation, workforce quality and living environment&lt;/a&gt;.
CEOs gave the Golden State four out of five stars for living environment, three
stars for workforce quality but one star for taxation and regulation.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;CEOs' opinions ma&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;tter
because they play roles in determining where a company will locate, expand or
add jobs and increasingly, the competition is with other states more than
foreign countries.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"California's
enduring place of perpetual decline continues in this year's ranking," the
publication states. "Once the most attractive business environment, the
Golden State appears to slip deeper into the ninth circle of business hell.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"It's little
wonder that most&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/47275551/ns/local_news-orange_county_ca/"&gt;Silicon&amp;nbsp;Valley&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;CEOs
say they won't expand in California because of high taxes and burdensome
regulation," Chief Executive continues, "Intel long ago moved its
plants to Nevada, and Cisco, Google and others have located their server farms
to places like Utah, Arizona and Oregon."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The publication cites
California's 10.9%&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/47275551/ns/local_news-orange_county_ca/"&gt;unemployment&amp;nbsp;rate&lt;/a&gt;,
third highest in the U.S., its status as home to a third of the nation's
welfare recipients. "Each year, the evidence that businesses are leaving
California or avoid locating there because of the high cost of doing business
due to excessive state taxes and stringent regulations, grows."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;At the other end of
the spectrum, Texas ranks first on the CEOs' list of best states for business
for the 8th consecutive year. It has been the receiving state for Allstate
Insurance's $12 million customer center in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/47275551/ns/local_news-orange_county_ca/"&gt;SanAntonio&lt;/a&gt;,
Caterpillar's new plants in Seguin and Victoria; eBay/Pay Pal hiring 1,000
people for its Austin facility.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Just this week,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/47275551/ns/local_news-orange_county_ca/"&gt;Apple&amp;nbsp;Inc&lt;/a&gt;.
Agreed to add 3,600 more jobs in Austin where it already employs 3,100 people.
The company is receiving approximately $35 million in tax rebates and Austin
and Texas economic development grants.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;CEOs were brutal in
their assessment of California. Among the quotes from unnamed CEOs that Chief
Executive cites:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"California - the
government is the worst in every possible way."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"California has a
great draw from a weather and location view point, but the state is so business
unfriendly."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"California,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/47275551/ns/local_news-orange_county_ca/"&gt;New&amp;nbsp;York&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and
Michigan...have bloated governments, are union-controlled and run significant
annual budget deficits."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"State
politicians feel business and commerce are 'necessary evils' that provide the
funds to enable pursuit of their misguided agendas."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"California...
has too much government who has nothing better to do than to harass businesses
in the state. They need to cut the size of their regulatory bodies in half,"&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;And "California
regulations, taxes and costs will leave only tech, life sciences and
entertainment as viable."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"California has
different overtime policies for its own employees vs. private sector."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"California's
taxes and ongoing changes for regulations are devastating. One never knows from
day to day what new interpretation or an existing regulation or new regulation
will befall your small business."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Some states are making
significant changes that are impacting their ranking on this annual list.
Indiana ranks 5th on the 2012 list, compared to 16th just two years ago. During
the recession, Indiana has cut taxes and in 2011 became the 23rd right-to-work
state.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;More impressive is
Louisiana, which ranked 47th in 2006 is now 13th on Chief Executive's list of
best states for business. "In Louisiana there is an active government push
to reduce taxes and regulation and to encourage new industry to relocate to the
state," one business executive said.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;On the other hand,
Oregon dropped 9 spots to rank 42nd on the 2012 list. Chief Executive cites
fights over&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/47275551/ns/local_news-orange_county_ca/"&gt;health&amp;nbsp;insurance&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;exchanges,
tax and regulatory fee increases.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
What’s more interesting about this study; every blue state such
as California, New York, Oregon, Hawaii, Connecticut, Michigan, Massachusetts
and Illinois were rated the worst to do business, only four of the top five top
best are Republican run states. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Top 10 best, Texas, Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia,
Indiana, Tennessee, North Carolina, Arizona, Utah, and Florida are tops!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9196003358708575261-7230050420251159349?l=marcchamot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"&gt;Obama Orders IRS to refund 'Illegal Aliens' $4.2 billion, While Asking the Rich to Pony-Up More Tax Dollars!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
By Marc Chamot&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
The dismantling of an incompetent administration, and one scandal after the nest, with this complete'jackass' in the White House!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
President Barack Hussein Obama wants to tax the rich, the wealthiest just because government is going broke, what does this imbecile do?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Obama is allowing the IRS to refund illegal aliens tax money, and child tax credits, even though they are not residing in the U.S.!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not only that folks. Mexico's GDP is twice of that of the United States, and this incompetent fool allows billions of U.S. dollars sneak out the country! And that's incomprehensible folks!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
According to NBC and the Examiner.com.&lt;i&gt; "&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/nbc-obama-irs-refunds-illegals-4-2-billion-for-kids-mexico"&gt;This bombshell dropped on Monday in Washington, D.C., causing outrage throughout the halls of Congress, and now beyond, to the "genuine" taxpayers who have been robbed all across America.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Investigative television reporter Bob Segall of Indianapolis NBC affiliate WTHR TV Channel 13, was contacted by a long-time central Indiana tax preparer, who blew the whistle on a multi-billion dollar tax fraud about which the IRS has done nothing,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.wthr.com/story/17798210/tax-loophole-costs-billions" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3e72a7;"&gt;according to the TV news show video segment that aired on Monday.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"There is not a doubt in my mind there's huge fraud taking place here," he said, slowly flipping through the pages of a [heavily redacted] tax return.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"We're talking about a multi-billion dollar fraud scheme here that's taking place and no one is talking about it," he said.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The scheme involves illegal immigrants that are filing tax returns, claiming child credits for multiple dependents under their support in "their" U.S. household, and collecting enormous cash refunds--such as one persons tax return that showed income of over $14,000, who collected a cash refund of over $10,300.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;n 1996 during the Clinton Administration, the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Individual_Taxpayer_Identification_Number" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3e72a7;"&gt;Individual Tax Identification Number&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(ITIN) was created in order for both resident and non-resident aliens, regardless of immigration status, to fulfill their tax filing and payment obligations under IRS regulations--even though an ITIN does not confer the right to work and receive income in the United States.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;This year tax preparation offices across the country were flooded by an estimated 2 million illegal immigrants, who in growing numbers have been taking advantage of a tax loophole called the Additional Child Tax Credit--a fully-refundable credit of up to $1000 per child--meant to ease the income tax burden on working families who have childrenliving at home.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;However, Segall's investigation and reporting found many illegal immigrants who were claiming these tax credits, but for kids who live in Mexico–even listing nieces and nephews.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"We've seen sometimes 10 or 12 dependents, most times nieces and nephews, on these tax forms," the whistleblower told Eyewitness News. "The more you put on there, the more you get back."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;After Segall reviewed many of the heavily redacted tax returns, it was still clear that the tax filers had received large tax refunds after claiming child tax credits for many dependents.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"Here's a return right here: we've got a $10,3000 refund for nine nieces and nephews," he said, pointing to the words "niece" and "nephew" listed on the tax forms nine separate times.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"We're getting an $11,000 refund on this tax return. There's seven nieces and nephews," he said, pointing to another set of documents. "I can bring out stacks and stacks. It's just so easy it's ridiculous."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Under agreement not to reveal their identity or filming them face on, Segall of WTHR was able to speak with several of the illegal immigrants who, using Segall's translator--confirmed it&amp;nbsp;is&amp;nbsp;easy.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;One of the workers, who was interviewed at his [appeared to be a 2 bedroom mobile home] in southern Indiana, admitted that&amp;nbsp;four other illegal immigrants used his address to file tax returns--even though they don't even live there.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;These four workers claimed that not only they, but a total of 20 children between them--about 30 people--lived in the residence.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;As a result, the IRS sent the illegal immigrants tax refunds totaling $29,608.Upon Segall questioning the man regarding that incredible residency claim, he replied ... "They don't live here ... the other kids are in their country of origin, which is Mexico," later saying that none of the 20 children have ever visited the United States–let alone lived here.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Segall then asked why 'undocumented workers' should receive tax credits for children living in a foreign country, which is a violation of IRS tax rules?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"If the opportunity is there and they can give it to me, why not take advantage of it?"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Segall then met with Russell George, the U.S. Treasury Department's Inspector General for Tax Administration, who stated ... "The magnitude of the problem has grown exponentially," but that the IRS has known about the problem for years.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Mr. George said his department has repeatedly warned the IRS that additional child tax credits are being abused by undocumented workers--in 2009 alone, their annual audit report showed that ITIN tax filers received about $1 billion in additional child tax credits.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The same audit report from 2010 showed it cost the American tax payers more than $4.2 billion.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"Keep in mind, we're talking $4 billion per year." George continued by saying "It's very troubling" that the IRS has not taken any action on the matter--despite these multiple warnings from their own inspector general.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"Millions of people are seeking this tax credit who, we believe, are not entitled to it," said the inspector general. "We have made recommendations to [IRS] as to how they could address this, and they have [still] not taken sufficient action in our view to solve the problem."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Segall's investigation revealed that claims for additional child tax credits by ITIN filers have skyrocketed during the past decade--from $161 million in 2001 to $4.2 billion in tax year 2010.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;He also found that illegal immigrants filed 3.02 million tax returns in 2010, with 72% of those returns&amp;nbsp;(2.18 million)claiming the additional child tax credit.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Segall's attempts to speak with any of the 100,000 employees of the IRS were rebuffed; instead they emailed this statement...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"The law has been clear for over a decade that eligibility for these credits does not depend on work authorization status or the type of taxpayer identification number used.&amp;nbsp; Any suggestion that the IRS shouldn't be paying out these credits under current law to ITIN holders is simply incorrect. The IRS administers the law impartially and applies it as it is written," the statement said.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;George disagrees with that position and believes the IRS should be doing more to prevent undocumented workers from getting billions in US tax dollars.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;"The IRS is not doing something as simple as requesting sufficient documentation from people seeking this credit," he said. "Once the money goes out the door, it's nearly impossible for the IRS to get it back."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Segall says that the IRS says it can't change the system unless it gets permission from Congress; and closing this loophole requires lawmakers to pass a new law specifically excluding illegal immigrants from claiming additional child tax credits.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;However, the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=106182,00.html" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3e72a7;"&gt;IRS "Ten Facts About Child Tax Credit&lt;/a&gt;," does not concur, as illegal immigrants, by definition, fail the citizenship qualification test.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Let's remember, this is an election year, Barack Obama is CEO, Harry Reid can block any legislation in the Senate, and&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Geithner" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3e72a7;"&gt;Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner&lt;/a&gt;, who is George Russell's boss, is still claiming that Obamacare will reduce healthcare costs.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Tomorrow in my follow on article, learn how Congressmen are reacting to this incredible tax fraud--and what they intend to do about it"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Backlash Coming? CNN Loses 50% of Viewership, Likely for Refusing to
Take On Barack Hussein Obama, over his Signing of National Defense Authorization Act
2012, Indefinite Detention of Americans Without Due Process:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
By Marc Chamot&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Well hello; is there massive electorate’s backlashes on Barack
Obama and U.S. congress coming from the left and everyone else in the works? I think so.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
CNN, the Barack Hussein Obama
Network has lost 50% of their viewership, according to recent national viewership
audit!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
This bodes very bad news for the president's re-election opportunities, and possibly a
whole lot of members of U.S. congress and the house who voted for this bill, may be removed. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
In Obama’s case, it seems that he lost his base over the
signing into law the NDAA, a national authorization act, which includes the permanent
incarceration of Americans without due processes of court hearings, on any constitutionally
protected civil acts that the president deems&amp;nbsp;terrorist.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
The main culprit, political killer, maybe Obama signing the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization_Act_for_Fiscal_Year_2012"&gt;National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;“The most controversial provisions to receive wide attention are contained in Title X, Subtitle D, entitled "Counter-Terrorism." In particular, sub-sections 1021 and 1022, which deal with detention of persons the government suspects of involvement in terrorism, have generated controversy as to their legal meaning and their potential implications for abuse of Presidential authority.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Although the White House&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization_Act_for_Fiscal_Year_2012#cite_note-whitehouse1-8"&gt;[9]&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and Senate sponsors&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization_Act_for_Fiscal_Year_2012#cite_note-csmonitor1-9"&gt;[10]&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;maintain that the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authorization_for_Use_of_Military_Force_Against_Terrorists" title="Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists"&gt;Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF)&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;already grants presidential authority for indefinite detention, the Act states that Congress "affirms" this authority and makes specific provisions as to the exercise of that authority.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization_Act_for_Fiscal_Year_2012#cite_note-10"&gt;[11]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization_Act_for_Fiscal_Year_2012#cite_note-11"&gt;[12]&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;The detention provisions of the Act have received critical attention by, among others, the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_Liberties_Union" title="American Civil Liberties Union"&gt;American Civil Liberties Union&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(ACLU), the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_of_Rights_Defense_Committee" title="Bill of Rights Defense Committee"&gt;Bill of Rights Defense Committee&lt;/a&gt;, and some media sources which are concerned about the scope of the President's authority, including contentions that those whom they claim may be held indefinitely could include U.S. citizens arrested on American soil, including arrests by members of the Armed Forces.&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization_Act_for_Fiscal_Year_2012#cite_note-NDAA_.7C_American_Civil_Liberties_Union-12"&gt;[13]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization_Act_for_Fiscal_Year_2012#cite_note-Savage-13"&gt;[14]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization_Act_for_Fiscal_Year_2012#cite_note-14"&gt;[15]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization_Act_for_Fiscal_Year_2012#cite_note-15"&gt;[16]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization_Act_for_Fiscal_Year_2012#cite_note-16"&gt;[17]&lt;/a&gt;”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
President Obama signed the NDAA into law, to make it easier
for him to declare Martial Law and suspend habeas corpus on U.S. citizens. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Had President Obama vetoed
the bill, he would have virtually had a second term guaranteed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Republicans and Democrats in the U.S. Senate and House,
better worry too, because they are in big trouble for passing such rights intrusive bill
that is violating the U.S. constitution, and people’s freedoms with suspensions
of habeas corpus are at stake.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;“&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_corpus"&gt;Habeas corpus&lt;/a&gt; is a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Writ" title="Writ"&gt;writ&lt;/a&gt;, or legal action,
through which a prisoner can be released from unlawful&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imprisonment" title="Imprisonment"&gt;detention&lt;/a&gt;,
that is, detention lacking sufficient cause or evidence. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The remedy can be
sought by the prisoner or by another person coming to their aid.&amp;nbsp;Habeas
corpus&amp;nbsp;originated in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England" title="England"&gt;English&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;legal
system to assist wealthy landowners, but it is now available in many nations. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;It has historically been
an important legal instrument safeguarding individual freedom of certain
individuals against arbitrary state action. It is a writ requiring a person to
be brought before a judge.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
But of course, &lt;i&gt;CNN
bore the brunt of the downward trend the news networks experienced this month
and for much of the first quarter, when compared to the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/wait-did-cnn-just-lose-half-of-its-viewers-2012-3"&gt;busy&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;first
few months of 2011.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/wait-did-cnn-just-lose-half-of-its-viewers-2012-3"&gt;Wait,
Did CNN Just Lose HALF Of Its Viewers?&lt;/a&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;“For the
month of March,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/blackboard/cnn"&gt;CNN&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;was
down&amp;nbsp;-50%&amp;nbsp;in total viewers&amp;nbsp;and down -60% in A25-54 viewers
(Total Day). The net was down -21% in Total Viewers and down -26% in A25-54
viewers (Primetime) compared to March 2011."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The viewer exodus is
not limited to CNN, though. Roger Ailes' aging heavyweight champion&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/blackboard/fox"&gt;FOX&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/wait-did-cnn-just-lose-half-of-its-viewers-2012-3"&gt;News&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;"was
not immune to a loss in viewership for the month of March and for the first
quarter of 2012. And For the month,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/blackboard/fox-news"&gt;Fox News&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is
down -17%," according to another post by Ariens.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Perhaps, if I may be
so bold, this is what happens to you when you continue to report stories that
no longer resemble -- even remotely -- what your own viewers see outside their
windows and apartments.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;CNN has barely covered
the rapidly growing Occupy and Tea Party protests around the country, and as
the clip from Current TV's Cenk Uygur below points out, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;CNN gave zero prime-time coverage to the NDAA's
indefinite detention provisions, arguably one of the most devastating rollbacks
of Americans' civil rights ever.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Perhaps viewers are
sick and tired of the same half-assed recycled stories about&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/blackboard/kim-kardashian"&gt;Kim Kardashian&lt;/a&gt;,
the same shiny&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/blackboard/piers-morgan"&gt;Piers Morgan&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;celebrity
interviews, and perhaps a war weary public is also not so quick to slurp up
CNN's incoherent Iran warmongering.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Perhaps viewers are
disgusted with CNN's&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/wait-did-cnn-just-lose-half-of-its-viewers-2012-3"&gt;packaging&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;of
the 2012 election year -- a critical time regardless of where you stand
politically -- into a crass sports event, heavy on special effects and
"analysis," and quite thin on actual reporting.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Now, I don't think
CNN's viewers have suddenly decided not to consume news any more. I just think
they are going online to do it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Maybe your viewers no
longer need you. Cenk Uygur explores CNN's massive failure to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2012/feb/29/ndaa-danger-american-liberty" target="_blank"&gt;cover the NDAA&lt;/a&gt;:”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
What’s happening to CNN is what’s happening to all traditional Medias around, including the New York Times.&amp;nbsp;The Times once blasted President George Bush, over anti-constitutional rights’ intrusive Patriot Act, but were merely silent on Obama’s Patriot act, on the jailing of Americans without due processes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
People are finally waking up; people are now realizing that traditional Medias are tools of corruptive politicians, they distract people with gibberish and nonsense news, while American politicians are destroying this nation and ripping the constitution apart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
People are now turning to the Internet to get their facts! They know they’ve been deceived for all these years.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Not so Fast Rush Limbaugh; Why Blame Democrats for Growing
national Debts? FACT: Under GOP Presidents Reagan, Bush, With Some Republican Senate Control Created Most of the National Debt:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
By Marc Chamot&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
The blame game; when I hear conservatives talk about former
President Ronald Reagan, about his tax cuts, and creating a thriving jobs
market and economy, they tend to ignore the truths about the growing debt. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
The truths of the matter; when President Reagan instituted
his massive tax cuts, the big loss of money had to come from somewhere, right? Welcome
national debt!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
I am conservative, and I am one of those that have never
been a big fan of former President Ronald Reagan. Yes, President Reagan did
initiate big tax cuts, created jobs, and a thriving economy, but Ronald Reagan also
created nightmares, of escalating national debts that conservatives want to
ignore today.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Playing loose with the facts; anybody, anyone can Google and get economic chart reports on "national debts" and get the montages of real facts. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
In conservative Radio show host, Rush Limbaugh was totally
wrong, when he claimed that during the Ronald Reagan years and George Bush’s
years, Democrats were at fault for the national debt, because they controlled
both houses, the Senate and the House of Representatives.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
According to facts that Limbaugh, chose to ignore; in the
first six years of the Reagan’s presidency (1981-87) The Republicans controlled
the U.S. Senate and the Democrats the&amp;nbsp;House&amp;nbsp;of Representatives until
1986.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
GOP/Republicans like Rush Limbaugh, pride themselves about
President Reagan cutting 70% to 28% tax rates on the wealthy.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L3uGJNkaFYM/T6GTW4VshgI/AAAAAAAAG2U/4ngIiem1pgA/s1600/alaska375x200.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="170" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L3uGJNkaFYM/T6GTW4VshgI/AAAAAAAAG2U/4ngIiem1pgA/s320/alaska375x200.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;What President Reagan forgot; with the tax cuts, you’ve got to cut down
on the size of government and expenditures’, but that never happened, but instead,
we began to borrow to pay the bills because we lost the revenues from these
massive tax cuts.&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
According to these charts, even congress under Republican
control national debt was still rising, without skipping a beat.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Making the U.S. Supreme Court Liberal; Assassinations' on Conservative
Members at the Supreme Court Probable; if Obamacare &amp;amp; Arizona SB 1070 are
overturned; My Worst Fear? An Obama Second Term:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
By Marc Chamot&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Assassinations’ concerns can reverberate the other way too. It
is all about who’s got the power. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Some public opinionated minorities have been talking about
their worst fears; a possible black man’s and possible American president’s assassination
on Barack Hussein Obama, if he wins a second term. That’s been the talk among
the African American communities and liberals ever since 2008. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
The Secret Service has been taking those threats against the president seriously and has arrested many people over it. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Going on into his 2012 re-election campaigns, I am hearing
that talk all over again from the same people; if Obama wins a second term he’d be assassinated. But that’s
bull, no folks; they’ve got it all wrong, this will never happen. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
However; President Hussein Obama has showed his scorns
towards our conservative members of the U.S. Supreme Court many times. Me personally,
I wouldn’t put passed this president, and his powerful cronies to do something
harmful towards our conservative members at the Supreme Court.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
No! It’s not the self proclaimed dictator and left-wing
radical Barack Hussein Obama’s assassination we have to worry about folks, we’d
better worry about our conservative Supreme Court justices’ state of health.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
My biggest fear is an assassination or attempt
assassinations on a conservative member of the U.S. Supreme Court.&amp;nbsp;All it takes is one, replacing one conservative member, to make it five to four in favor of liberals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
The five conservatives at the U.S. Supreme Court are standing
in the way of Obama’s radicalizations, of left-wing agendas that’s destroying
America; justices John G. Roberts, Jr., Chief Justice of the United States, Antonin
Scalia, Associate Justice, Anthony M. Kennedy, Associate Justice, Clarence
Thomas, Associate Justice, and Samuel Anthony Alito, Jr., Associate Justice,
they’d all better watch their backs as long as Barack Hussein Obama is
president.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
It’s obvious, what stands in the way of Obama passing his far
left-radical ideologies on American, like Obamacare and legalizing statuses for
illegal aliens, that possibly five conservative members of the U.S. Supreme
Court will negate, and make Obama’s three and a half years a total waste of
time and money.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Well hey liberal; you radical racists worry about Barack
Hussein Obama’s health and future?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Well, I do worry about my U.S. Supreme Court conservative
justices’&amp;nbsp;welfare,&amp;nbsp;as liberals worry about Obama's. This left-wing political ploy about Obama's safety, works both ways you know?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9196003358708575261-7804834966118343221?l=marcchamot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
The Anti-Obama ad wars have begun. The hits are coming,
because President Obama does not have a record to run on. The economy and
unemployment are in worse shape, than what it was when he took office three and
a half years ago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A 30 second ad mocking the president as a ‘celebrity president’ produced by Karl Rove’s American Crossroads group, this powerful ad shows how he and Michelle Obama are living it off with wealthy Hollywood actors and actresses, singers, and artists, while millions of Americans are unemployed.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;

Most striving to survive with little they’ve got. “&lt;i&gt;Americans are watching the Obama’s summer
break on Martha's Vineyard has already been branded a PR disaster after the
couple arrived four hours apart on separate government jets.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;But according to new
reports, this is the least of their extravagances. Branding her 'disgusting'
and 'a vacation junkie', they say the 47-year-old mother-of-two has been
indulging in five-star hotels, where she splashes out on expensive massages and
alcohol.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2029615/Michelle-Obama-accused-spending-10m-public-money-vacations.html"&gt;"The First Lady is believed to&amp;nbsp;have taken&amp;nbsp;42 days of holiday in thepast year&lt;/a&gt;;&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;vacations&amp;nbsp;are totally&amp;nbsp;Michelle's&amp;nbsp;idea.&amp;nbsp;...&amp;nbsp;The

expenses White House sources today claimed that the First Lady&amp;nbsp;has spent
$10million of U.S. taxpayers' money on vacations alone in the past year."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;The exact cost is
unclear as Mrs Obama and her 40 friends footed many personal expenses, such as
hotels and meals themselves.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;But the U.S. taxpayer
would have paid for the First Lady's 68-strong security detail, personal staff,
and use of presidential jet Air Force Two.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;Use of Air Force Two,
the Air Force version of a 757, comes in at $149,900 for the round trip. This

&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Mrs Obama's personal
staff, of which there are an unknown amount and might cost considerably more
per day, should also be taken into account.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;According to U.S. News

agents will be on 24-hour duty.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

There are no jobs for American college graduates, but he
still insists on legalizing illegal immigrants with the DREAM ACT, for illegal
immigrant students who have never paid any taxes, that will burst wide open our
fragile&amp;nbsp;welfare&amp;nbsp;system, including Social Security that’s going broke.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Ideas like those, is damaging his reputation. We're watching all these fancy and rich lifestyles that only billionaires can afford, developing right in front of our eyes. We're not so stupid. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Obama is trying to capitalize on Osama Bin Laden’s killing;
he thinks he can run on, making it a major accomplishment and achievement
during his presidency. He’s got old former President Bill Clinton doing a 90
second ad, showing the people that he was the president that got Bin Laden. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Americans don’t give a hoot about the killing of Bin Laden
now. Americans care more about their pocketbooks, jobs, healthcare that has
gone amuck, and are more worried about the state of Social Security and
Medicare, if it’s going to be around for them later.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Americans are more concerned about the $15 trillion deficits
and rising costs of food, gas and so on. Americans just don’t give a darn about
Osama Bin Laden killing right now. We don’t want or need a celebrity president.
We need a leader!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

That's why I support Mitt Romney for president. We cannot afford another four&amp;nbsp;disastrous&amp;nbsp;years with Barack Hussein Obama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh, by the way. Even The White House has read the Marc Chamot Report in the past and I don't think President Obama has learned anything yet:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
By Marc Chamot&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Is Google Dynamic Views, the best thing ever since slice
bread? Absolutely folks! I like it! &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GZVNZkuI7Bk/T5xc1t5ftqI/AAAAAAAAGv0/p3HIFuq4NB8/s1600/Entrecard.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GZVNZkuI7Bk/T5xc1t5ftqI/AAAAAAAAGv0/p3HIFuq4NB8/s1600/Entrecard.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
To my Dear friends at Entrecard; sadly to announce that new Google
‘Dynamic Views’ for bloggers won’t accept any widgets at this time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I love Entrecard, and Entrecard has been very good to me for the past three years of blogging.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have made lots of good friends through Entrecard and I appreciate very much what they did for me, I will surely miss everybody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="text-align: center;"&gt;There is no way to place any widgets on Dynamic View’s side
bars. The only way to keep the blog active is by posting, pictures, videos, or
anything that I want recorded forever on the Net, but not through sidebars
unfortunately. Hopefully, in the near future, I'll attempt to place Entrecard back on my blog when possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IudbgaCPVpc/T5xdBj0hyzI/AAAAAAAAGv8/dfEH9itkoSM/s1600/Dynamic+Views,+Google.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="106" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IudbgaCPVpc/T5xdBj0hyzI/AAAAAAAAGv8/dfEH9itkoSM/s320/Dynamic+Views,+Google.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Apparently Google automatically created a few widgets on a
sidebar that I could keep. However, there is no way for you to card me back anymore
at through Google’s Dynamic Views.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I will certainly miss all of you good folks
at Entrecard; however, this is time to move on, but please keep checking me out
if you can, I will too.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Google Dynamic Views has allowed my blog buddies links,
that’s the good news.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
What’s really incredible? Since I made the switch yesterday,
Google organizes their ads on every post when opened, while I get more traffic
generated unto my blog through Google and their feeds. Google says, through
their Dynamic Views, your blog gets more exposure and traffic, through their
unique algorithm, they generate more traffic. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
Since I made the switch yesterday, my blog traffic had averaged
between 250-300 viewers a day and now, in just one day it shot up to 700
viewers as you see here!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;"&gt;It was a big sacrifice, but
written contents are far more important than junking up one’s sidebar like I have been doing. What
made me decide to go with ‘Dynamic Views’ was, what’s even more incredible,
according to Google, readers can locate every article written, and quicker
right in front of the their eyes! There are no clouds or tags ever needed for
any blogs! Google does it automatically for you!&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Million dollar blog looks and feel; Dynamic Views, even makes a simple blogger like me look professional!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

authors can now configure their blog to display Dynamic Views, and select a
default view that best displays the type of posts on their blog. To experience
a blog in view other than the default, you can simply select another view style
from the toolbar, which, in some views, collapses into a thin line as you
scroll. For the toolbar to reappear, simply hover your mouse over the line.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

feelings of inferiority in the population; by creating and reinforcing
perceptions of victimization; satisfying infantile claims to entitlement,
indulgence and compensation; augmenting primitive feelings of envy; rejecting
the sovereignty of the individual, subordinating him to the will of the

As to why I despise Liberals, and why I became a political
blogger:&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;"There are two major
developments, she says, that are new this year and insufficiently noted, but
they're going to shape election outcomes in 2010 and beyond.&amp;nbsp;First,
Washington is being revealed in a new way.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The American people
now know, "with real sophistication," everything that happens in the
capital. "I find a much more knowledgeable electorate, and it is a
real-time response," Ms. Blackburn says. "We hear about it even as
the vote is taking place."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Voters come to rallies
carrying research—"things they pulled off the Internet, forwarded
emails," copies of bills, roll-call votes. The Internet isn't just a tool
for organization and fund-raising. It has given citizens access to information
they never had before. "The more they know," Ms. Blackburn observes,
"the less they like Washington."-Tennessee Representative Marsha
Blackburn&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;WHAT I AM ABOUT:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;What I will say about my BLOG is that I can’t stand monopolies, mainly daily newspaper monopolies that control and like to control our local LIBERAL, and RIGHT WING media contents, of agenda driven propagandas, and I am against GREEDY American Corporations that wantonly use illegal aliens.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I don't support illegal immigrants or illegal aliens. I want the Mexican borders secured and I want states to be allowed to enact their OWN illegal immigration laws, if the United States Federal government isn't doing enough to enforce OUR immigration LAWS.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I believe is self deportations, Alabama's new anti-illegal immigrants law prove that it does work. I also want congress to REDUCE legal immigration, especially with the way the economy is. The unemployed Americans; our citizens are entitled to American JOBS, over any foreigner.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;

&lt;span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I can’t stand U.S. companies that move jobs abroad to circumvent the hiring of Americans and not providing decent wages, for the rest of us to afford to live here and support our families.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I can’t stand lying and thieving politicians from both parties. I am for the American workingman and labor, the middle class, and I am for “private sector unions” unless they are sold out to Illegal Aliens.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I DO NOT SUPPORT greedy public/government employees, costly/generous benefits and their&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;unions. I grasp some from Democrats.&amp;nbsp;I also grasp from Republicans, Less Government and Less Taxes, Anti-Illegal Aliens, Pro-Life and Pro-Gun and that’s about it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I don’t like corporate welfare and the only welfare is to the American people. I want influential and powerful U.S. corporations OUT of American politics, just as I want to see“Labor Unions”&amp;nbsp;OUT of American politics too.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I don’t believe in FREE-TRADES, and globalization, I don’t like our JOBS going to China, I can’t stand China for what they are doing to my country. I am a HARD-CORE protectionist, GOD comes First, America and then the rest of the world!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I want to see higher tariffs on imported Chinese goods, that's flooding our nation.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I will only support and VOTE for the person that meets my criteria.&amp;nbsp;If they don’t want to, or just want to KEEP ignoring my ISSUES and me, they’ll be shredded apart and revealed for what phonies they really are, on this BLOG and the NET…&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
