Former US president Bill Clinton has contrary to opinion polls said his fellow Democrat Barack Obama would easily be re-elected to the White House as president in November.

In his own words speaking to the CNN in an interview said “I still think the president will win by five or six points.”

Obama faces presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney in the US presidential election on November 6.

According to Quinnipiac University Polling Institute recent poll stats, Romney has surged ahead of Obama by a 47% against 41% lead in the state of Florida.

However, a number of nationwide polls have suggested Obama and Romney are even.

Clinton said the polls showed a close support for both candidates due to the United States economic stress but when the supporters tout the achievements of Obama in the last four years, they will surely re-elect him for a second term.

Small steps are how  Governments take over lives.  If they take away your soda, they will want the happy meal banned.  The business of Government is to insure safety on the streets, and to be incidental playing in the background like the music in some love scene in a B movie.  We don’t need them telling us how to eat, sleep, or even heat our homes.  Isn’t their bigger fish to fry in the ever widening family of Government?  Forgot, my bad, fried food is a no no.

Bloomberg wants to ban the everything over sixteen ounces of soft drink being sold t the public.  He says to buy two smalls. The economy is a problem right now so is it really a wise thing to do by forcing people to curb their spending? What will it be next, how much golf one can play, banning street football, or how many books will be allowed to be read in one day? 

With every action, comes a opposite reaction.  The people who like their soft drink, should simply buy a two litter, chill it, and walk around in New York City just to prove a point.  Take our liberties away, and we may as well live in Russia.  Oh hold on, Russia’s economy is doing very well, since they decided to shrink government and stay out of the way of its people.

To Bloomberg, Obama, and all the politicians who think it is their jobs to control every life living free, stop, because it is getting very old fast.  The government already is banning smoking outdoors.  Where do they draw a line?  They wont, so we need to and we will draw it in ink in a way of protest to insure they get it through their thick sculls, that they work for us.  In closing, I am heading over to the  gas station, to fill up my 40 ounce cola eat six hot dogs, and smoke in my car just to prove a point to myself, and one day, soon, maybe I will be arrested for doing that because of the lack of caring, from the apathetic public.  Wake up America, before it is too late.  Set your liberty alarm for 7 AM before the eleventh hour hits us like a ton of bricks. 

            After World War II the world recognized what had happened to the Jewish people in the Holocaust was terrible and should never happen again. Now in the 21 century what is America doing to help prevent genocide in other countries, nothing. This is where we, as a nation need to stand up and fulfill a broken promise we made in trying to end all genocides.

            Some would say we need to stay out of countries that aren’t our own and that it isn’t our problem if it isn’t happening to us. This is where most people would like to stand and believe genocide doesn’t happen and isn’t happening. Have we lost humanity in the world? And on the other hand some people say it does happen and we did and will help. But take for example the Armenian genocide, the American ambassador, Henry Morgenthau, send numerous reports on the killing and even tried to raise funds only to never get a response and had to come back to America and read about mass killings.

            The US government sits back and likes to dispute genocides as just Civil wars. Like in Cambodia where after the Khmer Rouge’s victory our government said it was over and muted. So when they turned there back Cambodia, it fell into a dark genocide with no help from the US or any other country.

            As much as people would like to say we need to stay out of countries or that it isn’t a genocide and its just a war, we cant. We need to be aware that turning our backs away from countries just allows them to preside the killings and plunge into genocide.

            When we turn our backs and make believe that this isn’t happening, we turn our back on innocent lives. Wouldn’t it be different if it were your brother being killed? Your father? Your Mother?

            Now, I’m not saying that we should make the government send in military force and kill all the perpetrators, what would good would that do us? We need to use our voices, we need to get the word out that this is still happening all around the world and we can do something to stop it. We need to stop living in our sheltered peaceful lives. Doesn’t mean we need to move down and have peace talks to the killers, it just means we need to speak up as one and get our government involved and send in supplies and resources they need. If we all spoke up we can get other countries attentions and send in the U.N to set up camps for these people with proper attention and equipment.

            You may think you don’t have a voice, you can make the difference, you can push your friends and family into speaking up and they bring in more people to help a cause, a cause that could save millions of lives. If we get the attention of the world we can help people realize how wrong genocide is and we could be on the road to stopping it all together in the future.

According “Jimmy Jackson” Obama has lost over 6% of his followers in the past two weeks. This lost makes a total of 19% in the past two months. Is Obama losing? can this be? Well, today we be showing Obama and how he is doing.

AS you all may know, elections are just around corner, being so close, it’s now or never for our candidates. Barrack Obama, one of the candidates, however, has recently droped in supporters. Bill Jones, Ph.D professor at Harvordo University, has stated that Obama’s suppers has been rapidly declining over the months. Charts show that between April and June, Obama has lost nearly a quarter of his supports and is losing more everyday.

Has Obama’s broken promise to increase the deficit been the reason? or is it that he is not decreasing it? We sat down with Thomas Krome, who has the answer.

Thomas Krome: Obama supporters want someone to look up to, they want a strong leader, they want someone to make there lives easier and someone who has policies that sound to good to be true. This has been true for Obama for a while, it is the very reason he the President now. However, recently, Obama has made a mistake. A big mistake! He has raised the deficite by $1.4 Million dollars and now costing americans there homes, more in taxes as well as an increase of 35% in cost of gasoline.

It’s time a stong president leads this country out of poverty! If Obama is gonna win this election he is gonna need to get his head in the game, apoligise to his supports and start Working hard. These are tough times, with Obama not doing to well, they’re even more tougher.

In dedication to all the soldiers who died for our freedom.  They are incredible.

And for those who resist their lives}  Law enforcement, firefighters and etc..

Suggestion:  show your family a lot of love and pride knowing you can

do this.  Our troops made this day possible.  

Please add a photo of a soldier.. on the comment section at the bottom

so we can honor them..  

If you have a Memorial Wall in your community.. suggestion:  pay tribute

to it.. 

Remember when George W. Bush was President?  Bush went through the ringer every day of that Presidency and the first lady as well as the children were all fair game.  Now we have rules.  These rules place the children off limits as well as the wife. 

President Obama can do no wrong according to the well edited and selective news media.  They weed out all the bad and hype up whatever the good is.  What happened to reporting news honestly? What happened to journalistic integrity?  The balance is well off towards one side.  The fairness is no longer applied, or implied. The blatant hard facts are now well hidden or never mentioned. They set up their golden boy so when he gives a speech, he can follow up with that same selectivity.  It is the same, when the police interview a killer, and that killer insists he is innocent. 

Obama has been overspending way too much.  He out spent all the previous Presidents combines, in just three years and yet, he can look us in  eye and insist he does not.  When was the last time you heard Obama even confronting Congress?  He bypasses Congress all the time, using his executive order which is way out of control.  If you add up all the trips, all the travel, and all the vacation, golf, and parties, we can easily see that it is close to a trillion dollars. How can anyone look someone in the eye and just deny all of it?  That seems comes easily for Obama.

The Bull artists never realised they are not artists at all.  People can see it coming a mile away but never say anything to these types because they do not wish hurt feelings.  These Bull artists can tell their unbelievable tall tales, and expect all of us to believe it all.  No one buys what they are selling.  We can see people like Obama using their art of the BS all the time.  The fact is, we always find what they say unbelievable, but we can only react by watching their true actions.  So who is the foolish?  Those who expect us to believe the BS, are.  The media is for trying to cover up the facts and talking up whatever BS Obama is shoveling that day.   The trouble with that is, when we have to listen to that all day, we start to get turned off, and tune out.  People who are bull artists, live a very lonely life.  We just get tired of hearing it.

When Reagan and Bush were Presidents, the leftists, were complaining how high the spending was, and yet, they are pleased with their guy who out spent every President total.  Where are the opposing voices?  Just as we suspected, they only oppose, those not of their agenda.

Here are a few reasons why Affirmative action is justified.

1: Affirmative action provides equal opportunities for people with disabilities that otherwise would not be able to succeed on their own. These days, our society is more aware of those around us that have disabilities. However, this does not stop them from being discriminated against. According to the US department of Labor, 2/3 of all people with disabilities in the United States are unemployed, the largest unemployment rate of all demographic groups. Many companies have even expressed not wanting to hire employees with disabilities due to the extra costs of accommodating their needs. Without affirmative action, it would be virtually impossible for a disabled person to get a job and earn a living. Furthermore, it is often difficult for people with severe mental disabilities to achieve a quality education. Colleges often strive to choose the best students who are high achievers and show leadership and service in the community. Unfortunately, people with learning disabilities often struggle in school and find certain concepts difficult to grasp. It goes without saying that these students would be normally overlooked. However, affirmative action ensures that these students have the same chances as everyone else to succeed. Let’s be honest, a lot of occupations require a college education these days. You even need to get a major in Sanitation Engineering if you want to be a trash collector. Affirmative action gives people with disabilities opportunities that they would never have otherwise. Thomas Jefferson wrote these infamous words in the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among them are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. It was with these words that our forefathers formed our great nation upon. Yet people with disabilities are denied these unalienable rights. They are discriminated against, are hard-pressed to make a living upon which they can support themselves, and are seldom happy with the way they are treated by these prejudiced groups. It is our duty as the United States of America to make sure that everyone is ensured these unalienable rights.

2: Affirmative action ensures that women have an equal opportunity to learn and prosper. According to the NOW organization, approximately 95-97% of all high level corporate jobs are held by white men. And this is with Affirmative action. Imagine how low figures would be without affirmative action. Despite civil rights laws, women still face discrimination. According to the US census bureau only 25% of all doctors and lawyers are women, less than 1% of auto-mechanics are women, and only 8.4% of engineers are women. For every dollar earned by men, women as a whole only earn 63 cents. Affirmative action levels the playing field so that women have a chance to succeed.

3: Affirmative action is needed to make up for past racial injustices. Most of us have at least learned something about the American Civil Rights Movement. The prejudice that other races faced at the hands of our nation is unspeakable. During World War II, the United States forced people of Japanese origin to quickly sell all their property and report to internment camps. These camps were almost exactly like concentration camps (minus the mass extermination part). Many Japanese people lost their lives from being overworked and all the Japanese people within the camps had virtually no rights. And what about African Americans? Our country treated them as a dispensable labor force for centuries until the practice was finally outlawed, and even then, they still didn’t have equal freedom. Affirmative action is our nation’s way of giving these people a leg up in a world that oppressed them for so long.

CON:

Here are some reasons as to why Affirmative Action doesn’t work.

1: The concept of affirmative action does not promote equal opportunity. The original purpose of affirmative action was to promote diversity and racial equality in industry and education. However, this cannot be achieved with the current method of execution. Affirmative action involves preferring other races and minorities and races over white, Caucasians. This is simply a form of reverse discrimination. What affirmative action is trying to do is replace malignant racism with benign racism. The only problem is benign racism does not exist. Racism is an ugly matter no matter which way you look at it. Not to mention illegal. According to the 1964 civil rights act, no one shall be denied employment or education opportunities on account of race, sex, or nationality. However, this is exactly what affirmative action does. By choosing minorities over Caucasians, it is essentially denying those opportunities on account of race, and thus is illegal, unjust, and unreasonable.

2: Affirmative action does not cover all minorities and thus it does not promote equal opportunities. According to the US department of Justice, affirmative action pertains to Native Americans, Alaskan Natives, Asians, African Americans, and Hispanic individuals. However, two important groups aren’t included in this definition: Indians, and Arabs. Because affirmative action does not cover all minorities, it does not achieve its original purpose of promoting diversity. All affirmative action does is give special rights and privileges to certain minorities while ostracizing the rest and putting them at a disadvantage. Furthermore, due to the high rate of success of many Asians, they are no longer considered covered by affirmative action and are refused many education and employment opportunities. According to Asian-nation demographics and issues.org, recent data has shown that when California residents voted to end affirmative action, the number of Asians enrolled in California universities increased, demonstrating that affirmative action had actually kept many students from qualifying for admission to colleges. It is the stereotype that all Asians are successful that had alienated their equal opportunities, showing that America still has not learned its lesson. Even with affirmative action we are still discriminating against people.

So what do you think? Is Affirmative Action just or unjust? Only you can decide!

According to Klein, Mr. and Mrs. Obama’s marriage was shaky after the Chicago House of Representatives election. President Obama back then did not win the elections though he was forewarned by his wife Michelle. The aftermath of the election was a strain on the marriage of the Obamas. The strain was significant enough to cause a split between the two according to Klein.

From the reporting view the story may or may not be true as Eric Schultz, a rep for President Obama debunked Ed Klein’s story. He said Ed’s story was only a history of false fabrication in order to sell books, adding nobody in their right mind would believe the nonsense in it.

From my own assessments, Obama’s ‘divorce story’ is getting lots of attention especially over the internet.

Past history has recorded several of such incidences of troubles in marriage, near divorces and so on hitting the White House thus putting doubts in the minds of several as to whether the couple have not seen any form of marital problems in their 20 years of union.

Certainly there will be some ups and downs but Barack and Michelle in all public appearances together seem more in love than the previous day.

Questions such as whether their ‘near split’ in 2000 has made them stronger now can be raise but who knows if the couple have been so close the same since their marriage.

The fact that remains is that Edward Klein the discloser of the story will sell so much of his novel entitled The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House which will be available in bookstores from Tuesday.

Till the truth is known, the outsider sees a Barack and Michelle marriage without problems but to others the big question and challenge is do you know what goes on behind closed doors? What does Edward Klein see?

But it’s not just advice the Indians are seeking from the United States. Earlier this year India ordered 99 American F414 jet engines for $8.1 million each. These will be used for the new LCA. Eventually, most of the LCAs built will be powered by the Indian Kaveri engine, which is still in development hell. The F414s will substitute only until the Kaveri is ready. But the Kaveri never seems to be ready. This is a big problem. It is just one of many examples of how the Indian defense procurement bureaucracy misfires. Efforts to fix the mess are increasing, and calling in foreign experts (from the U.S., Israel and other Western nations) is part of the hoped-for cure.

For example, two years ago India made arrangements with French engine manufacturer Snecma to provide technical assistance for the Kaveri design and manufacturing problems. Critics in the Indian air force asserted that help from Snecma would not save the ill-fated Kaveri engine program. But the government apparently believes that it is necessary for India to acquire the ability to design and build world class jet engines, whatever the cost. Only a few nations can do this, and India wants to be one of them, soon, at whatever cost. Despite decades of effort the Kaveri is still far from ready for production.

When work began on the Kaveri, in the mid-1980s, it was believed that the LCA would be ready for flight testing by 1990. A long list of technical delays put off that first flight until 2001. Corners had to be cut to make this happen, for the LCA was originally designed to use the Indian built Kaveri engine and the engine was not ready.

For a jet fighter the engine is the most complex part of the aircraft and the Kaveri has had its share of setbacks. Fortunately, there was an American engine, the GE F404 that fit the LCA, and could be used as a stop-gap. The F414 is a more recent model of the F404 and has 15 percent more thrust. So as long as the Kaveri engine is not ready American engines fill in.

The LCA is only now preparing to enter mass production. Six prototypes and sixteen pre-production models exist. Mass production (at least 20 aircraft a year) was to begin, no matter what, this year. Or at least that’s the plan. For over two decades India has been trying to design, develop, and manufacture its own “lightweight fighter” but the project has been a major disaster. It has, however, been a valuable and very expensive learning experience.

Meanwhile, the 1970s era American F-16 is probably the premier “lightweight fighter” in service and began joining squadrons about the time India came up with the LCA project. Both the F-16 (at least the earlier models) and the LCA weigh about 12-13 tons. But the F-16 is a high performance aircraft, with a proven combat record, while the LCA is sort of an improved Mirage/MiG-21 type design. Not too shabby and cheap (about half the cost of an F-16). Also, for all this time, money, and grief India has made its aviation industry a bit more capable and mature.

For all this, India only plans to buy 200-300 LCAs, mainly to replace its aging MiG-21s, plus more if the navy finds the LCA works on carriers. Export prospects are dim, given all the competition out there (especially for cheap, second-hand F-16s). The delays have led the air force to look around for a hundred or so new aircraft (or even used F-16s) to fill the gap between elderly MiG-21s falling apart and the arrival of the new LCAs. However, two decades down the road the replacement for the LCA will probably be a more competitive and timely, aircraft.

Three years ago the Indian Navy announced it was buying six of the new LCA fighters to operate from the new carriers that are to enter service in the next five years. This is an experiment to see how the LCA will do as a carrier aircraft. The first LCA carrier trials are to take place next year. The navy has already bought navalized MiG-29s for these carriers. The navy LCAs will also be navalized (mainly stronger landing gear, a tail hook, and different cockpit electronics). The MiG-29K weighs 21 tons (16 percent weapons), while the navalized LCA weighs 13 tons (34 percent of that weapons). The MiG-29 is a better fighter but the LCA carries a little more (4 versus 3.5 tons) armament, making it a cheaper way to attack ships or land targets with missiles and bombs.
