    • From: loanstore
    • Description:

The present recession has crippled the market to such a span that the charges of house rather than of appreciating have depreciated. Most of the paid work and enterprise possibilities have just evaporated. This has made the task of giving the monthly payments a large-scale challenge. The lenders do not desire to confiscate the house of the borrower because they furthermore understand that even after trading the confiscated house they will not be adept to retrieve the due amount. It is in this position of economic urgent position that Obama has arrive out with the new mortgage refinance plan.

  • On Obama's Loan Modification S

    • From: mortgagerefinance
    • Description:

      Couple of weeks back Obama made the news again, this time for his Obama's loan modification program. It was focused on one achieved target that it reaches a 500,000 trial loan modifications a month in advance, which is November. Though the critics acclaim that this achievement had little significance. There are still foreclosures taking place and it is not going to stop foreclosures.

      Successful Loan Modification plan

      If we look at the good part about this program, we see that this achievement has not come without cajoling loan modification companies here and there. The first few months saw hardly any Loan Modification, so slow that many started to believe that this target would not even be met. But if there are 500,000 families with lower mortgage repayments, no one can call it anything, less than good. So many mortgage payments have been lowered. This process seems faster than the foreclosures. Around forty percent of all the qualifying homeowners have benefitted from this program. This comes up to 1.2 million of homeowners.

      On the other hand, on the not so greener side of the picture economists claim that there is no way that millions of people will not lose their homes before this down turn ends. Again, this home loan modification is only on trial basis that is if the owner is not able to pay one of the payments in the first three months then it would be void. If the owner is able to survive this trial period, then he has to submit more papers for modify mortgage and then technically it will not allow the loans to be modified.

      Again there is no record known to us about how many people's loan repayment period was extended, how many of them got decreased rates of interest, or how many people could lower their principal balance. For the record, it is important that you try and decrease your principle amount of your loan. It is worrisome situation since loan modification cannot help if people are out of work and are not able to repay at all. One can only say the situation is far from being solved.

  • Welcome To Obamacare Booby

    • From: AmericanBorn
    • Description:

      In 1972 my mother discovered a lump under her arm. It was breast cancer. She had a radical mastectomy removing the entire breast. A year later it showed up again - and again she found it herself in the other breast - undetected by her every 3 month exams at the doctors office. Another radical mastectomy and follow-up treatments. She lived another 30+ years from these self-tests. They didn't cost anything - and saved - or at least added 30 years to her life and mine.

      Mr. Obama's doctors have started the trashing of our great medical system with the most rediculous of statements telling women not to self-examine due to excess concern and false positives. That the expense of testing these false positives is unnecessary. A best friend, recently obtaining her MBA through GSU, found a lump, a very small knot, in one breast - on her own. A lumpectomy later, and some follow-up treatments and she is cancer free for years now. How smart would it have been for her to have waited to be 50 to check for a lump? She's approaching 50 this year - she'd be dead. So for Obamacare, that potential for a false positive wasn't worth much.

      So men, black men in particular, I guess we can put off those pesky prostate checks. So much for Dr. Bigfinger asking you to bend over the end of the table. Just wait until you are 80 - if you make it that far - and you will probably have prostate cancer - but under Obamacare you won't need to worry because at anything past 65 you aren't worth putting any dollars into to make life better or extend your expectancy. No knees, no hips, certainly no prostate cancer treatments or penile implants.

      We are in the midst of a revolution. To quote someone who was talking about another group, not our President and the leftists of this country, "They have been at war with us and we didn't recognize it as such." Obama and his gaggle of preposterous infidels are destroying everything we know as the Great United States of America. They will only get to push a little bit more and their hopes will be recognized. I firmly and wholly believe it is the intention of this group of gustapo intend to push the folks on the right as far as they need to in order to get a reaction where blood is actually spilled, not just words. I believe they will continue to berate, tax and take away freedoms until they finally get a physical push back - their ultimate opportunity for action.

      When it finally happens - Marshall law - or Obama's equivalent - and then the real problems will ensue. The question for you to ask yourself - do you have enough food for your family stored to last for at least 2 months? Do you have enough firearms hidden that are not registered to fend off your neighbors that do not have enough food for 2 months? They will be asking - knocking on your door willling to do what they need to in order to feed their own. Obama intends to put you against your neighbor and destroy us from within. And the media is falling in place to encourage him. Sorros owns them and him - and the Chinese probably own him.

      It all starts with taking away what we know as freedoms. Are you willing to let that slip through your fingers? Even you d Blackenstine?

  • Guantanamo Bay Prisoners!

    • From: DrBlackinstien
    • Description:

      Last week, the administration announced that it will try five Guantanamo prisoners -- including Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the self-declared mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks -- in federal court in New York. The fate of dozens of other detainees remains in limbo.

      President Obama, ambitious fella that he is, knows when certain things are gonna take a bit longer than planned.

      Such is the case of Guantanamo Bay, which the president admitted will not be closed by January. From The Washington Post:

      "President Obama directly acknowledged for the first time Wednesday that the prison facility at Guantanamo Bay will not close by the January deadline he set, but he said he hoped to still achieve that goal sometime next year. Obama refused, however, to set a new deadline.

      Maybe it's because our Government don't know where to put these Murdering Terrorist, who murder in the name of a false god!

      In an interview in the Chinese capital with Major Garrett of Fox News , Obama claimed he was "not disappointed" that the Guantanamo deadline had slipped, saying he "knew this was going to be hard."

      "People, I think understandably, are fearful after a lot of years where they were told that Guantanamo was critical to keep terrorists out," Obama said. Closing the facility, he added, is "also just technically hard."

      Obama came to office pledging to shut a detainee facility that had become a symbol for prisoner abuse at the hands of American officials. He signed orders to shut the military prison by January 2010, but White House officials quickly encountered resistance from members of Congress opposed to moving prisoners to U.S. soil and from other countries they had hoped would accept detainees."

      This one I have to disagree with President Obama! Forget the politics and social relationships with other countries.

      These are evil people who will not freely give out information that can save lives in this country. So how do we get the information out of them?

      For all those who oppose torture to extract life saving information, your dead wrong! You don't be nice with EVIL!Yell

  • SNOPES FACTS

    • From: BUSHFAN
    • Description:
       Snopes' background 
        

      For the past few years  snopes   has positioned itself, or others have labeled it, as the'tell-all final word' on any comment, claim and email. But for several years people tried to find out who exactly was behind snopes .  Only recently did Wikipedia get to the bottom of it - kinda makes you wonder what they were hiding.  Well, finally we know.  It is run by a husband and wife team - that's right, no big office of investigators and researchers, no team of lawyers.  It's just a mom-and-pop operation that began as a hobby. 
         

       David and Barbara Mikkelson in the San Fernando Valley of California started the website about 13 years ago - and they have no formal background or experience in investigative research.  After a few years it gained popularity believing it to be unbiased and neutral, but over the past couple of years people started asking questions who was behind it and did they have a selfish motivation?  
         
       The reason for the questions - or skepticisms - is a result snopes
        claiming to have the bottom line facts to certain questions or issue when in fact they have been proven wrong.  Also, there were criticisms the Mikkelsons were not really investigating and getting to the 'true' bottom of various issues. 
         

       A few months ago, when my State Farm agent Bud Gregg in Mandeville hoisted a political sign referencing Barack Obama and made a big splash across the internet, 'supposedly' the Mikkelson's claim to have researched this issue before posting their findings on snopes
       .  In their statement they claimed the corporate office of State Farm pressured Gregg into taking down the sign, when in fact nothing of the sort 'ever' took place. 
         

       I personally contacted David Mikkelson (and he replied back to me) thinking he would want to get to the bottom of this and I gave him Bud Gregg's contact phone numbers - and Bud was going to give him phone numbers to the big exec's at State Farm in Illinois who would have been willing to speak with him about it.  He never called Bud. In fact, I learned from Bud Gregg no one from snopes  ever contacted anyone with State Farm.  
         
       Yet, snopes  issued a statement as the 'final factual word' on the issue as if they did all their homework and got to the bottom of things - not! Then it has been learned the Mikkelson's are very Democratic (party) and extremely liberal.  As we all now know from this presidential election, liberals have a purpose agenda to discredit anything that appears to be conservative..  There has been much criticism lately over the internet with people pointing out the Mikkelson's liberalism revealing itself in their website findings.  
         
       Gee, what a shock? So, I say this now to everyone who goes to  snopes  to get what they think to be the bottom line facts...'proceed with caution.' Take what it says at face value and nothing more.  Use it only to lead you to their references where you can link to and read the sources for yourself.  Plus, you can always Google a subject and do the research yourself.  It now seems apparent that's all the Mikkelson's do. After all, I can personally vouch from my own experience for their 'not' fully looking into things. A better place to check facts is http://truthorfiction.com/

  • 911 Trial!!!

    • From: DrBlackinstien
    • Description:

      A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows that some people think that feds should be able to try 9/11 conspirators in New York while others think military tribunals.

       

      When the question was posed; "Would you rather have suspects accused of involvement in the September 11 terrorist attacks put on trial in the federal court system in the United States, or in a military tribunal set up for that purpose"?

      [Chart]

      Washington Post-ABC News poll conducted Nov. 12-15 among a random national sample of 1,001 adults. The results have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points.

      In a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, 47 percent say suspects accused of involvement in the 9/11 terrorist attacks should be tried in the U.S. federal court system, while as many, 48 percent, say they prefer military tribunals set up for that purpose.

      Also typical is the evident partisan split on the matter: 61 percent of Democrats would rather see trials in civilian courts, with 58 percent of Republicans preferring the military route. Independents tilt 53-42 toward military tribunals.

      In previously released data, 53 percent of Americans approve of the job President Obama is doing handling the threat of terrorism; 41 percent disapprove. Approval of the way he is dealing with the issue peaks among Democrats at 77 percent, slides to 46 percent among independents and 33 percent among Republicans."

      This should be a no brainer! it was a Federal crime, so it should be in Federal Court!

      The Verdict should not be any question. GUILTY!!!!!!

  • Truth or Fiction? Joe Wilson K

    • From: thedutchman
    • Description:

      It seems to be coming more clear as each day passes, that the much maligned Joe Wilson, from South Carolina,  was more correct that anyone could possibly know.
       
      As the Obama Administration continues to make statements of "Fact" about Health Care Reform and disclose "Jobs Saved or Created Figures":
       
      Jobs "created" in Congressional Districts that don't even exist. Jobs saved when only pay increases were given. Where's the Truth?
      "No medical care plan coverage for immigrants - no we'll just give them a "pass" toward citizenship. No problem! Remember, the end justifies the means.
       
      President HAS SAID:
       
      "Will not accept Health Care Reform that adds one dime to the the deficit!" All Bills     INCREASE     the Deficit! Increases the size of government, Increases cost of Medical Care!
       
      "If we don't sign Stimulus Bill right now "unemployment will increase above 10%" - Congress Rushed Stimulus and now UNEMPLOYMENT RISES TO 10.2% REALLY 17% Is someone blindly throwing darts to determine what  happens next?
                     
      "Will not raise taxes on incomes less than $250,000 - all incomes will suffer because of  tax increases on Medical Devices, and other government mandated programs being forced on everyone.
       
      "Cap and Trade legislation will Increase the cost of energy, of all kinds, significantly". - This may have been his only "Truthful Statement"
       
      Has promised a change to "Transparency in Government" - Just the opposite has occurred at unprecedented levels.
       
      Has said we Need to win the war in Afghanistan - "this is America's War" - Now, he will not follow the request of his appointed Generals.
       
      It appears, so far, the elected officials in power today are truly intent on destroying the private enterprise form of business, that has produced the wealth of the world for decades, in favor of a government dominated structure which employs as many people as possible to supervise the rest of the citizens. The government workers would be Union Represented, as a pay back to the SEIU and other unions supporting the Democrats. Think of the potential power this represents in future elections.

      The Big Multi-National Corporations are caving to the administration and regulators of their industries, or face the onslaught of threats by Congress, tax investigations, organizer marches, fear of added regulations, loss of future government contracts or down right "take over", if executives Refuse to Go Along.
       
      Where do we find any TRUTH OR TRUST in the current administration and the Progressive Democrats that make up the majority in the Senate and House of Representatives. Each majority in both Houses seems intent to "stuff" Progressive legislation in the form so-called Health Care Reform and Cap and Trade down the "We Don't Want It Throats" of the the voters.
       
      All of this turmoil just to increase the size of the Federal Government and provide more Union Jobs for political purposes. All of this to seize more individual liberty from the American Citizen. All of this so that the Federal Government will exercise more control over every single individual from the cradle to the grave. When the government can regulate your education, your job, your health care, your medication, your method of transportation, your retirement, what you watch on Television, what you listen to on the radio, where you can drill for oil and gas, dig a hole or cut a tree - if the government has taken those decision from us, what's next?
       
      Why has the small business owner of America been neglected in favor of large Wall Street Corporation and the "Fat Cats" that have cut special deals with the Executive Branch of the Obama Administration. Big Salaries, Big Bonuses, Big Takeovers and Big Corruption all have been the order of the day. Small business has been "hug-out-to-dry" and, all but ignored, as the administration has pronounced that the Stimulus would be the infusion needed to create the needed jobs. Where did the Stimulus go? Most of what was spent seems to have gone to state and municipal governments to shore up balance sheets and take care of short term projects. A very small amount, if any, was allocated to long term capital expenditures for creating new or improved "widgets" that build jobs and creates future wealth for ten of thousands.
       
      What you we done?
       
      If the above were not bad enough think about this:
       
       
      I am becoming more concerned with the USA continuing to allow more immigration from potential radical groups. Think what could happen if  groups of radical Muslims, and others that have not been educated and truly believe in the Founding Fathers view of America joined forces, as voting citizens. Eventually, a group such as this could affect federal elections for Congress and then the President. I would suggest that anyone reading this, look up (Google) and read about Shariah Law. Their goal is to take over the world, no holds barred! 
       
      Why do we have Labor Unions representing employees of the federal government? This does not make sense to me.
       
      Why do we have Term Limits on the President and not on members of Congress? Points out the need for Term Limits on Congress
       
      Why do we have a Tax System that basically applies only to  50% of the population?Did you know 10% of the population pays 70% of the taxes? Illustrates need for larger base and a fair system - Thus the Fair Tax
       
      Why do we not use the Rights of the States to call for Constitutional Conventions to overturn legislation passed by Congress that may be Unconstitutional.
       
      Why do we allow our State Rights to be stripped from us and our tax dollars to be used as pork and waste to feed the reelection of members of Congress in other States like CA, PA, MD, MA, NY,  NJ, CT, MI, IL, WA and OR.
       
      Why do we allow Congress to pass legislation that mandates how we educate our children, how we pray, how we celebrate holidays, how we eat, how we save for health care, what kind of health care we purchase, and possibly which physician we select to keep us healthy. They've gone wild in Washington.

      We Must Do Better - We Must Begin to Change the Game Now!

      With our cell phones, it cost only pennies, if anything, to make calls to members of Congress. If you need a number let me know and I'll get it for you. Most members of Congress have an email address on their web site. I suggest we all make it a habit to change from a passive attitude, toward our elected officials. It is time to start letting them hear from us. That means every elected member of Congress, not just those in your state. I promise you, you'll feel better after you make your opinion known.
       
      Do Something!

      As always, it's my humble opinion

  • Jobs Created And Saved In Dist

    • From: Zcat
    • Description:

      Here's a stimulus success story: In Arizona's 15th congressional district, 30 jobs have been saved or created with just $761,420 in federal stimulus spending. At least that's what the Web site set up by the Obama administration to track the $787 billion stimulus says.

      Share
      Discrepancies on government web site call into question stimulus spending.There's one problem, though: There is no 15th congressional district in Arizona; the state has only eight districts.

      And ABC News has found many more entries for projects like this in places that are incorrectly identified.

      Late Monday, officials with the Recovery Board created to track the stimulus spending, said the mistakes in crediting nonexistent congressional districts were caused by human error.

      "We report what the recipients submit to us," said Ed Pound, Communications Director for the Board.

      Pound told ABC News the board receives declarations from the recipients - state governments, federal agencies and universities - of stimulus money about what program is being funded.

      "Some recipients clearly don't know what congressional district they live in, so they appear to be just throwing in any number. We expected all along that recipients would make mistakes on their congressional districts, on jobs numbers, on award amounts, and so on. Human beings make mistakes," Pound said.

      The issue has raised hackles on Capitol Hill.

      Rep. David Obey, D-Wisc, who chairs the powerful House appropriations Committee, issued a paper statement demanding that the recovery.gov Web site be updated.

      "The inaccuracies on recovery.gov that have come to light are outrageous and the Administration owes itself, the Congress, and every American a commitment to work night and day to correct the ludicrous mistakes."

  • Barack Obama Called: He Wants

    • From: Zcat
    • Description:

      Remember those $400.00 and $800.00 tax credits Barack Obama gave you in his stimulus plan? And remember that $250.00 gift he gave social security recipients?

      Well, Obama decided he wants them back. Yep. According to the IRS, Obama has never asked for an adjustment of the tax tables, so millions of Americans are going to get taxed for having received the tax credits back in February — typically through adjustments the federal government demanded businesses make in employees’ withholdings.

      “While implementing a credit through reduced withholding is an effective way to provide economic stimulus evenly throughout the year, it is difficult to account for everyone’s circumstances,” said J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. “More than 10 percent of all taxpayers who file individual tax returns for 2009 could owe additional taxes.”

      The tax credit is also available for 2010. Russell said the problems will continue in 2010 if they are not resolved

       

      WASHINGTON — More than 15 million taxpayers could unexpectedly owe taxes when they file their federal returns next spring because the government was too generous with their new Making Work Pay tax credit.

      Taxpayers are at risk if they have more than one job, are married and both spouses work, or receive Social Security benefits while also earning taxable wages, according to a report Monday by the Treasury Department's inspector general for tax administration.

      The tax credit, which is supposed to pay individuals up to $400 and couples up to $800, was President Barack Obama's signature tax break in the massive stimulus package enacted in February.

      Most workers started receiving the credit through small increases in their paychecks in April. The tax credit was made available through new withholding tables issued by the Internal Revenue Service.

      The withholding tables, however do not take into account taxpayers with multiple jobs or married couples in which both people work. They also don't take into account Social Security recipients with jobs that provided taxable income.

      The Social Security Administration sent out $250 payments to more than 50 million retirees in the spring as part of the economic stimulus package. The payments were meant to provide a boost for people who didn't' qualify for the tax credit.

      However, they went to many retirees who also received the credit. Those retirees will have the $250 payment deducted from their tax credit — but not until they file their tax returns next year, long after the money may have been spent.

      "While implementing a credit through reduced withholding is an effective way to provide economic stimulus evenly throughout the year, it is difficult to account for everyone's circumstances," said J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. "More than 10 percent of all taxpayers who file individual tax returns for 2009 could owe additional taxes."

      The tax credit is also available for 2010. Russell said the problems will continue in 2010 if they are not resolved.

      The credit pays workers 6.2 percent of their earned income, up to a maximum of $400 for individuals and $800 for married couples who file jointly. Individuals making more than $95,000 and couples making more than $190,000 are ineligible.

      "Making Work Pay was designed to deliver much needed boosts to the paychecks of 95 percent of all working Americans," said Nayyera Haq, a Treasury Department spokeswoman. "Since enactment, more than 110 million families have benefited from as much as $60 in additional take home pay each month to put toward their family budgets, serving as a steady boost to spending and consumption."

      For many, the new tax tables will simply mean smaller-than-expected tax refunds next year. The average tax refund this year was about $2,800.

      The IRS, in a response to the audit, advised taxpayers to check their withholding throughout the year to make sure they don't get hit with an unexpected tax bill.

      "The withholding system must approximate the tax liability of tens of millions of Americans, and therefore, cannot be tailored precisely to fit every individual situation," Richard Byrd Jr., commissioner of the IRS' wage and investments division, wrote in the agency's response to the report.

      (This version CORRECTS Corrects average refund amount to $2,800 sted $3,000; UPDATES with administration response. Moving on general news and financial services.)

  • Jihad Target By Dick Turbin

    • From: AmericanBorn
    • Description:

      With all the problems of unemployment - maybe as high as 25% in some areas of Illinois - Senator Dick Turbin (durbin) has decided to make Illinois the next best target for jihad attacks - and offered up a target for the jihadists, the Sears Tower. Because he, Dick, was able to finagle hundreds of millions of dollars to build the high security prison in Illinois, and even though it has never been close to full currently housing somewhat close to 1/4 of low security risk prisoners today, he wants to "employ his people" regardless of the risk to the rest of the world.

      Gitmo is where it is for a lot of reasons - one good one is there is no way to threaten civilian populations any where near the prison. If jihadists want to try to blow up a car bomb outside the prison - go for it if they can make it across the mine field leading up to the place. If someone wants to shoot a rocket at it - well they will be in the open ocean to do so - and in plain sight. But none of this means a thing to Dick. He could care less - he want credit for bringing jobs to Illinois - no, that isn't it either.

      What Dick Turbin wants is favor of the Osama, I mean the Obama administration (or both I guess).  This is every bit as bad as bringing the mastermind of 911 to New York City for prosecution. When will Obama get over trying to put down the Bush administration. We went 7 years without any attacks on the US by muslim extremists under Bush - we didn't make it a year under Obama and 13 people are dead on one of our own military bases. Bringing the muslim extremists to New York to be tried in civilian courts will open up the world to their propaganda on a daily basis. How did the "mastermind" know, when he was captured, that he would be tried in New York City, what he said when he was arrested.

      How bad is it going to get with the Obama administration? He just bowed to the Emperor of Japan, he got his liberal ass chewed by the Chinese, he is in a September 10 mindset regarding islamic jihadists and the radical muslim community. He wants us to use the Federal Courts to try the 911 suspects, and just think, there is no lock on which judge may judge this case.

  • Get 30 Year Fixed Mortgage Rat

    • From: mortgagerefinance
    • Description:

      The average for usual 30 year fixed mortgage rate carry on to get below 5%. For almost a full month we’ve seen mortgage refinance rates of interest which are near or below 5%. The psychosomatic level has been the discussed of much conversation as a move in any trend over or above this is going to continue a long way in making a decision the long term way of mortgage rates. Lately we observe that fixed mortgage for 30 year can lower your rate up to 4.7%. At times while mortgage rates have gotten this low we’ve seen an instant bounce back.

      Get Lowest Mortgage Refinance Rates

      This rebound back has occurred numerous times however it looks as if this go below 5% could be just what it gets to keep us under the psychological level. President Obama set up a new home mortgage refinance plan that is intended at keeping mortgage rates low. The Federal Reserve Bank on goes to get mortgage backed securities that is an additional reason we’ve seen mortgage rates lower. The Fed lately proclaims that they are going to expand this program throughout March of 2010. Through the Fed lengthening the program it is possible that we’re going to go on to see low mortgage rates until the program end. There would be ups and downs all along the way however as long as billions of dollars are available into mortgage backed securities it is bit tough to see a way that refinance mortgage rates are going to move much higher.

      If you’re considering regarding refinancing or availing your first mortgage now may be as good of a time as still. You could always get the opportunity and attempt to time the bottom however very few home owners would get lucky enough to perform this. Availing a refinance home loan rate under 5% is somewhat that number of home owners might do almost something for. Don’t let go this chance; there’re lot of lenders proportioning with low rates so get it and lock in at a low rate today! No matter what goes as long as there’re no obscenities or straight insults to additional posters.

      A company that supplies food to American troops in Iraq has been indicted for overcharging the government more than $68 million, U.S. prosecutors announced in Atlanta Monday.

  • Lindsey Graham Slams Birthers

    • From: KevinA
    • Description:

      Sen. Lindsey Graham, (R-S.C.) offered unusually blunt assessments of the fringe elements of his party and conservative media on Thursday, calling the popular and bombastic Fox News host Glenn Beck a "cynic" whose show was antithetical to American values.

      "Only in America can you make that much money crying," Graham said of Beck. "Glenn Beck is not aligned with any party. He is aligned with cynicism and there has always been a market for cynics. But we became a great nation not because we are a nation of cynics. We became a great nation because we are a nation of believers."

      Appearing before a crowd of Washington's elite power players and opinion-makers, Graham spoke largely without filter, offering acidic takes on subject well beyond Beck. The Senator called the birther community that questions the president's U.S. citizenship "crazy" and implored them to "knock this crap off" so the country could get on to more important matters.

      "I'm here to tell you that those who think the president was not born in Hawaii are crazy," said Graham, who went on to dispel another myth: that Obama is a closet Muslim.

      Say it ain't so Lindsey. But what about your party. A third of the south believes that stuff.

  • Our country deserves better

    • From: dlindberg102
    • Description:

      Am I so out of step with the majority in this country? Why is it that every time I turn on the TV or pick up a newspaper I find myself getting angry? This week I couldn’t believe that our illustrious Attorney General, Eric Holder was there on Television telling us that they were bringing our sworn enemies to New York for a civilian trial. Where in our Constitution does it say we have to give our legal rights to our enemies? In my mind I am asking who benefits from this stupidity, the families of the victims, the fire fighters who lost their brethren, the police and port authority who still hear the screams of the dying in their sleep. How about us, the general public who witnessed planes full of everyday people crashing into the buildings, or the bodies of innocent office workers hurling themselves out of the twin towers to keep from burning alive. None of the above is the answer in case you wondered. There is one answer that comes to mind but I can’t even fathom anyone could be so callous, It’s been stated that Attorney General Holders former law firm, the one that he will surely return to when this country finally regains its senses, represents several terrorists already. Could this be a motive? Are they that arrogant that they would even consider this?




      Are we so intimidated by European opinion that it is really necessary that we close Gitmo? We have been so smothered in political correctness that it is affecting our ability to survive as a world power. Who has earned the right to judge our system of government? What part of Europe didn’t we save from tyranny? What would China be today if we hadn’t stopped the Japanese in WWII? How have our enemies treated our captives, from WWII through Korea, Viet Nam, or in The Middle East? The people held in Guantanamo have it better than they did in their own countries. I call them people only because I am so influenced by political correctness that I find it hard to call them what they really are. In our history we have always been the savior of the world not the bad guy. This administration seems to be of the belief that we have a lot to apologize for. Even though I didn’t vote for him I actually thought that after Obama was sworn in, he would see the world for what it really is and temper his agenda for the good of America. I was wrong, his agenda seems to be to destroy the America we grew up in and remake it into a socialist society. To accomplish this goal he has to break the spirit of our people and render them impotent to his will. He has surrounded himself with a group of people who actually despise our country. Socialist, Communist and some of the loudest voices against American freedom are entrenched in his cabinet and his army of Czars.



      In history we learn what is in our future, if you bother to read the history of Germany and the Soviet Union you will see where we are headed. When the President goes to Copenhagen and signs the treaty on Global Warming, we as a sovereign nation will cease to exist. When we give others the right to make and enforce our laws we will have fought all wars, and left all our battle fields littered with our dead for nothing. America will no longer be the shinning city on the hill that so many have held in reverence. The United States that has been the benefactor to the world deserves better. Shout and shout loud, make these egotistical, narcissists hear your demands. Let them know that this is our land, and we’ll defend it with all we have.

  • Obama blog, 7 months ago.

    • From: Gus
    • Description:

      My brother in St.Louis posted this there today:

      *** I posted the following blog 7 months ago, and it remains appropriate today, excluding the location of the speech:

      ''Made a serious effort this morning to watch and listen carefully to Obama's speech in Strassbourg, France.  Wanted to give the guy a break, even though I was not one of his supporters, and not at all interested in 'charismatic' talent.  But it was very disappointing.  The honeymoon with world-wide admirers will likely end after the normal lag between here and there, leaving everyone in an unknown territory.  I now wonder even more than before if he is extremely naive, very stupid, or purposely leading this country into a radically idealogical hole.  I hope I am wrong and that he fully succeeds in realistically guiding us out of our difficulties.  But my doubts are growing stronger with each passing day.''

      We have heard enough times now that he 'inherited' all these problems from the Bush administration.  Only partially true, the war in Iraq being the only major issue.  The financial bubble began and reached it's peak during the Clinton administration, with Democrats such as Frank and Dodd leading the way, notwithstanding the Republicans part of that phony 'great' economy then and during the following eight years.  But consider the degree of damage to the economy and to personal freedoms, and then, if you can be honest with yourself, please explain who is hurting us most.

      Partisan politics is no longer the answer.  Removal of the arrogant elite from office is a beginning to the best answer.  And to the one that said ''There is no intelligent life beyond the beltway'',  I have a message.  This country has survived more than 200 years inspite of Washington, D.C., not because of it.***

      There are few words left to describe what Obama and his administration have done and are trying to do.  His constant appearances are themselves a form of indoctrination.  I'm flabbergasted that his popularity ratings are still so high.  What a nightmare !   Stephen King, are you getting all this ?

  • Get Approved for Loan Modifica

    • From: loanstore
    • Description:

      With the economy showing less signs of recovering, homeowners are facing a tough time. Homeowners are in serious trouble for not being able to pay their monthly mortgage payment. President Obama has come to rescue and people cannot get luckier. Obama has a mortgage bailout plan which gives struggling homeowners a chance to home loan modification with an affordable monthly payment.

      Are you eligible?

      A $75 billion homeowner stability initiative is included in this mortgage refinance bailout plan. This plan will give a lot of homeowners a chance to stay in their own houses. If not for this plan then their homes could be sold, foreclosed on or defaulted because of inability to pay their monthly payments.

      Get Instant Approval.......For This Home Affordable Plan...!

      How does it work?

      Homeowners can get a loan modification; hats off to Obama’s plan; “Making Home Affordable”. Homeowners qualify for “Financial Hardships” i.e. reduced wages, job loss, unpaid mortgage payments, and any other issues that are affected by the macro economy.

      The home loan should be closed off and signed on prior to Jan 1st’09 and homeowners without any records of bankruptcy in the past. Homeowners get one and only one chance to save their homes with Obama’s "Making Home Affordable" plan. One condition of this plan is that the mortgage value should be less than $729,500. For homeowners paying above 31% of their monthly income, this plan is a big boon as they will see a good amount of savings by mortgage loan modification.

      People have experienced pay cuts, reduced wages and a sudden shock due to the economic slowdown. This is the dominant reason why they have not been able to pay their monthly mortgage payments.

      Millions of homeowners will get help by Obama’s home loan modification plan enabling them to stay in their own homes and pay off their debts efficiently, with good loan modification rates.

      Homeowners who have taken the blows of recession should look at loan modification companies plan as a ray of hope in bad times.

      Having a bad credit rating may result in you being turned down for loans, credit cards, auto financing, and home mortgages. People who have bad credit and are not sure where to go, often turn to a credit union or bank. Typically though, these lenders do not offer loan to people with bad credit. In order to get approval for bad credit mortgage refinance loan, you must work with the right type of lender, especially if you have bad credit.

  • Ayers, Dohrn accuse Hillary of

    • From: Zcat
    • Description:

      http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=115923

      The duo went on to claim the 2008 presidential elections had racist undertones.

      Unrepentant radicals charge 2008 elections had 'racist' undertone

      JERUSALEM – Hillary Clinton's 2008 campaign for the Democrat nomination deliberately appealed to white supremacy, fear and anxiety, charged longtime Barack Obama colleague and Weatherman terrorist William Ayers and wife, Bernardine Dohrn.

      In a co-authored article in the socialist Monthly Review magazine, the two radicals argued last year's national elections had "racist" undertones and that President Obama's ascent to power can be used to "build a new society."

      "[Hillary] Clinton flagrantly appealed to white voters' identity as 'workers' or 'women' – offering white people any reason to vote against Obama without saying he's black – and followed the ancient and dismal road of racial discourse that appeals to white supremacy, fear and anxiety," wrote Ayers and Dohrn.

      The two referenced a New York Times opinion piece by feminist activist Gloria Steinem, "Women are Never Front-Runners," written on the eve of the New Hampshire primary. Steinem argued the gender barrier had not yet been broken and asked, "Why is the sex barrier not taken as seriously as the racial one?"

      Ayers and Dohrn charged Steinem had asserted a "superior victim status on the part of white, powerful women."

      "The invisible race talk was about 'blue collar' or 'working class' or 'mainstream' or 'small town' or 'hockey mom' or 'Joe the plumber,' but we were meant to think 'white,'" they wrote.

      Continued Ayers and Dohrn: "All the talk of Senator Barack Obama's exotic background, all the references to him as 'unknown, 'untested,' a 'stranger,' or a 'symbolic candidate,' or 'alien,' a 'wildcard,"'or an 'elitist.' ... The discourse was all about race, us and them, understood by everyone in the United States even when the words African American, black or white are not spoken."

      The couple, however, took pride in Obama's win.

      They said Obama's presidency "calls for us to have to agitate for democracy and egalitarianism, press harder for human rights, link the demands that animate us, and learn to build a new society through our collective self-transformations and our limited everyday struggles.

      "We must seek ways to live sustainably; to stop the addiction to consumption and development and military power; to become real actors and authentic subjects in our own history," they wrote.

      The two added, "Now their experience can be put to use mobilizing those same people to insist on the changes they imagined."

      Ayers became a name in last year's presidential campaign when it was disclosed the radical worked closely with Obama for years.

      Ayers, and his wife, Dohrn, were two of the main founders of the Weather Underground, which bombed the New York City Police headquarters in 1970, the Capitol in 1971 and the Pentagon in 1972. The group was responsible for some 30 bombings aimed at destroying the defense and security infrastructures of the U.S.

      Characterizing Weathermen as "an American Red Army," Ayers summed up the organization's ideology: "Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, Kill your parents."

      "Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon," Ayers recalled in his 2001 memoir, "Fugitive Days." "The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them."

      Ayers brandished his unrepentant radicalism for years to come, as evidenced by his now notorious 2001 interview with the New York Times, published one day after the 9/11 attacks, in which he stated, "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough."

      Ayers posed for a photograph accompanying the New York Times piece that showed him stepping on an American flag. He said of the U.S.: "What a country. It makes me want to puke."

      Ayers and Dohrn helped launch Obama's political career with a fundraiser in their home. WND columnist Jack Cashill has produced a series of persuasive arguments that it was Ayers who ghost-wrote Obama's award-winning autobiography, "Dreams from My Father."
