VIDEO: Obama Speech Praises Wright, Attacks Feds on Katrina

VIDEO: Obama speech praises Wright, attacks feds on Katrina | The Daily Caller



Then U.S. Senator Obama speaking in June 2007 at Hampton University in Virginia.

In a video that was obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller, then Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama tells an audience of black ministers in Virginia, (which includes Jeremiah Wright), that the U.S. government shortchanged victims of Hurricane Katrina because of racism.  Obama claimed that the government didn't care much about the black people in New Orleans.  Obama said survivors of the September 11th terrorist attacks and victims of Hurricane Andrew received generous amounts of aid because they weren't black.  He said the government didn't consider the victims of New Orleans "part of the American family." 

The racially-charged and angry speech from Obama undermines his claim that he desires to build bridges between ethnic groups.  President Obama is a divider when it comes to race.  What do you expect when you consider the fact that he sat under Jeremiah Wright at Trinity United Church of Christ for 20 years?  His speech doesn't surprise me.  I want to commend the Daily Caller for finding the video that exposes Obama for who he is.  The website also has a video of the speech Obama gave in 2007.  To hear the video and read the headline, click on the above link from The Daily Caller.

JACK WELCH: Obama Skewing Jobs Report Numbers

JACK WELCH: Obama Skewing Jobs Report Numbers - Business Insider

Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric from 1981-2001.

Jack Welch has it right.  President Obama wasn't able to debate with Mitt Romney last Wednesday evening so he'll skew the job report numbers to make it appear the employment picture has improved.  The unemployment numbers are still too high.  He uses faulty numbers to justify his poor performance last Wednesday.

Biden acknowledges he, Obama want to raise $1T in taxes on wealthy | Fox News

Biden acknowledges he, Obama want to raise $1T in taxes on wealthy | Fox News

Vice President Joe Biden speaks in Council Bluffs, Iowa on Thursday.

Vice President Joe Biden acknowledged Thursday that he and President Obama desire to raise $1 trillion in taxes on the wealthy as part of a plan to allow some Bush-era tax cuts to expire.  Biden said that in top of the trillions that they've already cut, they're going to ask the wealthy to pay more.  Mr. Vice President, since you and President Obama are so adamant that the wealthy pay more in taxes, why don't you, the president, and all your Democratic colleagues in Congress that call for tax hikes on the wealthy, why don't you contribute 40% above and beyond what you already pay in taxes yourself.  If you are all so concerned about the deficit and if you're soooooooo concerned the wealthy aren't paying their fair share, then yooooouuuuu, Mr. Vice President need to lead the way.  I'm certain many of your Democratic colleagues have discretionary money they can donate to help pay down the deficit.  Why don't you donate a sizable portion of your income toward alleviating the deficit?  I believe that sounds fair. 

Mitt Romney made a good point about taxes during Wednesday's debate with Barack Obama.  He was making a point about taxing small businesses.  He said if you raise taxes on small businesses, then what could transpire is fewer new jobs being created.  The more restrictions and costs that a small business has to incur, the less money it has to create new jobs.  Romney rightly pointed out the issue is jobs.  He's exactly right.  In the private sector, in order for a business to thrive in the marketplace, it needs to keep costs to a minimum as much as possible.  It's true that there are needed costs to operate a business.  But unnecesary costs such as tax increases or regulations that force businesses to spend more money means less money into their account to grow their businesses.  Romney rightly pointed out that taxing the wealthy isn't going to reduce the national debt or grow our way out of the recession.  What's needed is new wealth creation--not redistributing wealth.  That's Obama's plan because Obama is a pure socialist.  That's the truth.

The Kennedy-Nixon Debate of 1960

Kennedy-Nixon Debates

1960 was a very historic year.  1960 saw the introduction of the televised debate between presidential candidates Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy.  Never before have presidential candidates of the major politicial parties hosted a televised debate.  This debate featured Democratic candidate John. F. Kennedy and Republican candidate Richard M. Nixon.  This was the first of four debates between the two candidates.  This particular debate was aired on September 26, 1950.  This debate pre-empted The Andy Griffith Show.  This debate was watched by 65-70 million viewers.  This debate was believed to have erased Richard Nixon's lead over John Kennedy to propel Kennedy to victory to succeed Dwight D. Eisenhower.  The appearance of Kennedy was believed to have given television viewers a favorable impression of him.  Kennedy was tanned, well-rested, vigorous and fit.  Nixon, on the other hand had pasty skin, sported a five o'clock shadow, sweated, and looked somewhat sickly.  He previously had surgery on his knee.  I am posting four YouTube video clips of the Kennedy-Nixon debate.  The above link describes the first debate between the two candidates.  Click on the above link to read the details.

France Unveils Budget Which Taxes the Rich

France unveils tough budget, Spain's Rajoy wins time | Reuters

French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault walks to deliver a speech after the weekly cabinet meeting at the Elysee Palace in Paris, September 28, 2012. Ayrault announced a budget bill for 2013 that commits France to 30 billion euros ($39 billion) of tax hikes and spending cuts with the goal of reducing the public deficit to 3 percent of GDP next year to honour the country's European commitments. REUTERS-Philippe Wojazer

Socialist President Francois Hollande's 2013 budget calls for a 75% tax hike on those earning over a million euros a year.  Business is also taxed as well even though I don't know the rate that will be charged on business.  Hollande is facing record unemployment and economic stagnation.  In the midst of record unemployment, Hollande's answer to remedy the budget situation is the same as President Barack Obama's: tax the rich.  France will slide even deeper into the abyss with tax hikes on business and the rich.  What's tragic is that's what I believe President Obama will do once he's re-elected (which is more than likely). 

Allow me to shed some light on the matter.  When you tax the wealthy, they'll pass the higher tax in the form of price increases.  The middle class all the way down to the lowest class feels the effects of higher taxes levied on the rich.  To read the full story, click on the above link from Reuters.com.

One Million Ohioans Using Free Phone

We live in a generation where there's a segment of America's population that believe the government owes them something.  Those in that category that are eligible to vote will vote for President Obama because they desire handouts from the government. JFK's motto "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country," has now become "Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what the government can do for you."  That is sad but true.
