Let's talk about the Radical-in-Chief!

In 1939, ten years after the crash on Wall Street, the Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Morgenthau, Jr., told the House Way and Means Committee: "We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and if I am wrong ... somebody else can have my job. I want to see people get enough to eat. WE HAVE NEVER MADE GOOD ON OUR PROMISES ... I say after eight years of this administration WE HAVE JUST AS MUCH UNEMPLOYMENT as when we started ......

who is Zubi Diamond? He wrote a book entitled "Wizards of Wall Street". He has a website zubidiamond.com. But he offers very little about himself.

Zubi Diamond is the author of a book entitled "Wizards of Wall Street". The book is about the crash of the U. S.stock market and certain money markets around the world and who is responsible for this.

The best reply I got to this post was that the UAW Pension Fund should spend about $7 billion of their own money to buy all of the stock. This would be a great investment for the auto workers as they would find out first hand what it is like to run a big corporation. They would learn some other things too. For example, they would learn how to deal with their own people. In fact, the auto workers have essentially helped to run these corporations for many, many years. They have the knowledge and experience far beyond any that...

Would Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid or Obama and his motley crew invest THEIR OWN MONEY (if they could) in the auto industry? The answer would be a RESOUNDING NO. Let's look at a few facts thanks to John Hinderaker of the Powerline Blog and Paul B. Samuelson, courtesy of the Washington Post Co.: ### The market cap for GM, Ford, and Chrysler is approximately $7 billion. ### Ford has a negative book value of equity. ### GM has a huge negative net worth on a book basis of $56 billion. ### Essentially, the market is valuing the companies...

Yes, I mentioned that Rahm Emanuel has proposed, in his book "The Plan", that young people, between the ages of 18 and 25, be enlisted for 3 months of civilian service. They would report for basic civil defense training in their state or community to learn what to do in the event of biochemical, neclear, or conventional attack. On WMAL Radio, Washington, DC, this morning, I heard Chris Plante tell people about this book and about Emanuel's youth training. He played a radio snip of Obama saying that "this youth corps should be as strong and as well-financed as our...

Okay. Here's what Obama's Chief of Staff has planned for you! UNIVERSAL CITIZEN SERVICE All Americans between 18 and 25 should serve their country by reporting for 3 months' of basic civil defense training and community service. UNIVERSAL COLLEGE ACCESS The Government should give the states tuition grants to make college free. A College Tuition Grant of $3,000 per year, fully refundable and available for 4 years of college and 2 years of graduate school, should be made available. UNIVERSAL RETIREMENT SAVINGS Employers should be required to offer 401 (k)'s to all workers. Workers must be enrolled unless they choose...

SCF Is Coming To Town You better watch out, You better not cry, You better not pout, I'm telling you why, SCF is coming to town. They (Islamicists) know when we are sleeping, They know when we're awake! They know how to pull the wool, So close your eyes for their sake! Yes, Shariah Compliant Finance is not only coming to the USA. It is already here! But what is it? The U. S. Treasury knows. Wall St. knows. But do the American people know? Would the American people approve? Well, stay tuned and you'll learn all about it. The...

A new politics of national purpose! Here's Rahm Emanuel's (probably Obama's too) plan for all of us Americans: Five big ideas centered around responsibility: 1. A New Social Contract: What You Can Do for Your Country and What Your Country Can Do for You *** Universal Citizen Service *** Universal College Access *** Universal Retirement Savings *** Universal Children's Health Care 2. Fiscal Responsibility and Ending Corporate Welfare *** The new social contract depends on ending corporate welfare 3. Tax Reform to Help Those Who Aren't Wealthy Build Wealth *** An effective income tax rate of 10% for those earning...

Just for openers, here are the tax cuts that Obama will let expire or will not extend. The net effect: An Obama tax increase. *** Bonus Depreciation - To encourage business investment; expired on 1-1-2005 *** Alternative Minimum Tax - Exemptions decreased by $6,500 per filer on 1-1-2006 *** Small Business Expensing - on 1-1-2008, the maximum business deduction decreased from $100,000 to $25,000 (not inflation indexed). Also the cap on qualifying property decreased from $400,000 to $200,000. *** Capital Gains - rates will rise 10 to 20 percent depending on income, on 1-1-2009. *** Child Credit - will decrease...

If you think William J. Clinton is/was a pathological liar, you are right! But, if you think he is the King of Pathological Liars, you are wrong! The King of Pathological Liars is none other than Barack Hussein Obama! Obama lies about everything: * * * Taxes * * * Friendships * * * Abortion * * * Associations * * * Socialism * * * Spreading the Wealth * * * Marxism * * * Terrorism * * * Rashid Khalidi * * * Selfishness Obama promises everything to everyone. He will say anything and then change his answers....

The Jews were God's chosen people. God loved them unconditionally. But that didn't prevent God from disciplining them. At one point in time, certain Jews WORSHIPPED IDOLS. Not only did they worship idols but they also offered up their babies in sacrifice to idols. In today's language, in our country, people kill babies without any sacrifice. If there were sacrifice, some people would use that as a reason for killing their babies. But, no, they flat out kill their babies in what is now called abortion.

This is Halloween and Obama is trying to scare and fool us Senior Citizens. He is planning to kill Medicare, as we know it, and give us a SEVERELY MODIFIED old age health insurance plan. Obama would, for example, eliminate a certain number of surgical procedures costing ten of thousands of dollars each. The Democrats' idea is to reign in Medicare's costs at the expense of the Senior Citizens. First, Obama wants to take away our retirement plans like in Argentina. Now, he wants to compromise our health insurance coverage. This is a helluva way to treat people! My Fellow...

When I returned home last night, my wife was sick. We are senior citizens. She said she had heard that the Democrats were going to raid our Retirement Plan. She said it's happening NOW in Argentina. She was very concerned that Obama and his Left-Wing Liberal Democrats were going to steal away from us our little retirement nest egg. I told her I had read on the Congressional website that the House Committee on Education and Labor has, indeed, been holding hearings on this exact thing. In addition, I said, the Democrats are advocating that an additional 5% of our...

Here is what we talked about today: The Supreme Court. This was a hot topic with our people today. They were stirred up about Obama's comments that the S.C. should make their rulings more slanted to the poor and downtrodden. They didn't like Obama's comments that "spreading the wealth" should be done by the S.C. They said it appears that Obama wants the court to rule on wealth, economic, and financial matters just like the court ruled on Roe v. Wade. Once again, they were concerned that maybe the court would wipe out their retirement plans and put their funds...

Our Koffee Klatch meets every morning to shoot the breeze. This is election week. So we talk about and follow politics. We are all retired senior citizens, We have a mix. Some are Republicans. Some are Democrats. Most, but not all, know who they will vote for. It's pretty close to 50-50 (all do not come every day). What has stirred the people up is Obama's wanting to "redistribute the wealth". Not one Republican liked that. And a couple Democrats didn't like it either. Most people thought it was a step toward Federal Government Controls, and higher income taxes. They...

Obama is a Radical Liberal. Obama is the Senate's Most Liberal Left Wing Voter. Obama is a Socialist. Obama is a Marxist. Obam is a Communist Sympathiser. Obama wants to Redistribute Your Wealth. Obama wants to Steal and Cancel your 401 k Retirement Plan. Obama is a good friend of Terrorists. Obama wants to deny you your Secret Union Ballot. Obama is an Abortionist. Obama wants to destroy all Pro-Life progress. Obama is a Thief! He is taking away from you your Right to Know the Facts About Him. Are these things true? YES, they are. They are factually supported....

It has been rumored that Obama's henchmen have approached Busch's staff. The topic is that Obama has asked Busch, in the best interests of our country, to resign immediately after the election. It is said that there would be a couple weeks for President Busch and his wife to collect all their things. Obama, it is said, has graciously offered to fly them to anywhere they coose! Osam thinks he has this election sewed up. He is wrong. McCain is going to snatch it away from Obama in a tight election! The Osama people will be up in arms!
