Caching up on our blogs as we were down a few days due to technical difficulties, sorry…
OBAMA and HILLARY MUM ON ALGERIA
After saying nothing about the rather serious hostage taking by Islamic militants our head foreign leader, Hillary Clinton acknowledged the hostage taking by saying simply words ‘We hope for as few casualties as possible,’ or close to that. Duh! Do we think that she would be hoping for more loss of life? Perhaps Hilary would do better to say nothing than to come out with inane words must tofill the void… and, of course , there was nothing from President Obama, other than his twitters to eight-year-plds…In fact, while Clinton and Obama had reallynoting to say, it was Reuters who was at least giving us some details including that
two American hostages were being held in a gas plant in Algeria and that some otherhostages were killed in a raid.
MORE THAN GUNS
Perhaps Obama should spend some time on the other peripherals that contribute to the crime program. Violence has become part of the culture. It’s in the movies, the music, our daily lives – what with murder rates climbing in major cities like Chicago. Some like producer Quentin Tarrantino may say that violence in the ‘arts’ has no affect on violence in society but statistics show otherwise.
Obama’s decry of guns has simply sent thousands to the gun stores to clean them out of anything and everything. And besides, those are mostly the honest people. It’s the crimnal element that will get it’s guns anywhere they can – and do. Nothing against tougher gun laws here, but it’s only a fraction of the problem.
We must try to remove violence from the culture, just like England and some other countries have done. The crime and murder rate in England is proportionately much lower than it is in the U.S. There is much more civlity in that country, where even the ‘Bobby’s’ (please) don’t need to carry guns, as a rule, we are told.
OBAMA TURNS THE TABLES
OBAMA railed against President Bush raising the debt ceiling in 2006, callingBush a ‘tyrant trying to gin up’ the debt celing. It would appear Obama is doingexacly what he spoke against six years ago, having now nearly doubled our debt
from when Bush left office going from $4million to $7 million.
He said he would compromise with Republicans on the debt ceiling and took only six questions from press people who seemed to be predeterminedfrom a list he would scan.
It was only the second press conference in a year. Some in the crowd
said they missed the days of Clinton and Bush I where press conferences
were light and open, where any questions were fair game and topics were open.
The public… Does anyone really care anymore? During the press conference apparently viewers of TV’s the Price is Right were outraged that their showwas preempted for Obama’s speech. Haven’t people noticed that their taxes havegone up…even those 40-50% who weren’t paying taxes will now have to paythe payroll tax (1-2% of their income) if they’re working?
Other notes…
In 2006 Obama complained that Bush II would pull out a credit cardto raise taxes on a whim, who was ‘unpatriotic for raising the debt to 4 trillion
dollars. Has anybody reminded Obama lately that he has raised the deficit to 7 trillion from 4 trillion?
We also learn that Obama has tried 19 times to write new gun law , and others, on his own. However, there
is something called a constitution which prohibits the president from doing this on his own.But, if people don’t care and watch this , who knows what can slip by.
For those who say the Republicans are being too hard on the Democrats, let’s lookback at the Clinton administration. When things weren’t going well initially,Clinton, Gingrich and co. tightened up spending, to only 20% of GDP or about 1.5 trillion dollars
as compared to Obama at about 35% or 3 Trillion dollars. Fair Tax: or what about taxing people WHEN they spend, not before they spend whenyou don’t even know what they’re spending on or if they’re spending… Countries that have used it are doing well. No wonder the US is no longer in theTop 10 countries with lowest taxes. Nor are the Euroopean countires running in similar socialist manners.
Gun violence:
Obama asks for ‘voluntary efforts’ for decreasing violence in movies, etc.
Good luck to all these hypocritic movie stars coming out against guns but yet
using them frequently in their violent mogies.
—– I thought this was a joke at first….. Guess who’s going to pay for this…
It’s a fact now that those 50% of people NOT paying any income tax are ‘earning’ more money by NOT working (min. $20,000 they get from govt. handouts like food stamps, welfare, free phones, etc.) than many struggling middle class workers in the lower ranges after taxes! AND NOW THIS…
The Americans With No Abilities Act
President Barack Obama and the Democrat-led Senate are considering sweeping legislation that will provide new benefits for many Americans. The Americans with No Abilities Act is being hailed as a major legislative goal by advocates of the millions of Americans who lack any real skills or ambition.
“Roughly 50 percent of Americans do not possess the competence and drive necessary to carve out a meaningful role for themselves in society,” said California Sen. Barbara Boxer. “We can no longer stand by and allow People of Inability (POI) to be ridiculed and passed over. With this legislation, employers will no longer be able to grant special favors to a small group of workers, simply because they have some idea of what they are doing.”
In a Capitol Hill press conference, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pointed to the success of the U.S. Postal Service, which has a long-standing policy of providing opportunity without regard to performance. Approximately 74 percent of postal employees lack any job skills, making this agency the single largest U.S. employer of Persons with No Ability.
Private-sector industries with good records of non-discrimination against the inept include retail sales (72 percent), the airline industry (68 percent), and home-improvement warehouse stores (65 percent). At the state government level, the Department of Motor Vehicles also has an excellent record of hiring Persons with No Ability (63 percent).
Under the Americans with No Abilities Act, more than 25 million mid-level positions will be created, with important-sounding titles but little real responsibility, thus providing an illusory sense of purpose and performance.
Mandatory non-performance-based raises and promotions will be given to guarantee upward mobility for even the most unremarkable employees. The legislation provides substantial tax breaks to corporations that promote a significant number of Persons of Inability (POI) into middle-management positions, and give a tax credit to small and medium-sized businesses that agree to hire one clueless worker for every two talented hires.
Finally, the Americans With No Abilities Act contains tough new measures to make it more difficult to discriminate against the non-abled, banning, for example, discriminatory interview questions such as, “Do you have any skills or experience that relate to this job?”
“As a non-abled person, I can’t be expected to keep up with people who have something going for them,” said Mary Lou Gertz, who lost her position as a lug-nut twister at the GM plant in Flint, Mich., due to her inability to remember righty tighty, lefty loosey. “This new law should be real good for people like me. I’ll finally have job security.” With the passage of this bill, Gertz and millions of other untalented citizens will finally see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Said Sen. Dick Durbin: “As a senator with no abilities, I believe the same privileges that elected officials enjoy ought to be extended to every American with no abilities. It is our duty as lawmakers to provide each and every American citizen, regardless of his or her inadequacy, with some sort of space to take up in this great nation and a good salary for doing so.”
Why is it so critical that the correct decisions are made – and what are those?
Obama wants to raise roughly $ 1.3 billion.
How does he want to raise it?
1) Raising taxes on those making over $250,000 will raise about $450 million
2) In addition, Obama wants to cap deductions for those same folks which could raise another $450 mil.
But that leaves him still $400 mil. short To close the gap Obama wants to raise capital gains taxes and increase government spending (more bailouts) some more and business taxes..
The latter can be especially dangerous, in our view, since capital gains are what drive the economy. New private and business capital is reinvested and creates new jobs. If anything one would CUT captial gains taxes to stimulate the economy as even Clinton did during his presidency – and it worked. Russia, on the other hand, failed when it cut capital gains taxes.
As Jack Kemp used to say, ‘ There’s no capitalism if you cut capital gains.’But then, maybe Obama that’s exactly what Obama wants – to move the econmyaway from capitalism to communism.
Perhaps Obama should harken back to the old tried and true principles from another era – as in the above 1913 ‘Road To Success’ – when government was smaller and didn’t have to come up with schemes to achieve its own desires. Poster vvailable at http://www.RoadToSuccess.us
We haven’t even mentioned Obama’s other new taxes that will go into effect january 1, namely that paying for Obama care amd others.
The John Boehner / Republican strategy would be to cap deductions as well as cut loopholes – and government spending. For us that would make more sense. The government is currently spending at a record rate approaching 30%. We’ve gone all the way from 2% which George Washington thought was excessive to this.
And then we’ll all be saddled with the end of Bush’s tax cuts at the same time.Put this all together and it really many of us middle and upper class folks may really fall off that financial cliff if
Without any real stimulus to the economy – other than more artificial printing of money – we’ll continue on a downward spiral. Government spending hurts the economy in the long run. Obama may eventually get himself in a hole with nothing left but to keep taxing the wealthy – nobody else will have any money – and then we’ll be just like Russia and European countries where the wealthy are the only ones paying taxes – and to the tune of 90%.
The only hope, as we see it, is that Obama / democrats will compromise with the Republicans and Boehner, using other means than just raising the wealthy’s taxes – means that will also stimulate spending, not hinder it.
BROADEN THE TAX BASE – LOWER THE TAX RATES
Ideally, the Republicans would stand firm, not raise any taxes – in fact lower them as they ‘ broaden the tax base’ – and get rid of those loop holes and deductions. It would likely mean cutting cut the Obamacare tax hikes which will be difficult to budge. Ideally a strong personality such as Paul Ryan or Marco Rubio could stand up and well present the Republican case, as suggested here. It’s doubtful the Republicans could fully get their way, as correct as we believe it is, so they should compromise only to the extent of giving in to the deduction caps and NO NEW TAXES! Otherwise the Republicans must hold their ground as any more tax increases could get the country into such much debt they could never climb out from under, while citizens would become more and dependent on the government for benefits as they go broke. IT WON’T BE THE WORST THING IF THE REPUBLICANS HOLD THEIR GROUND. IT WILL BE IF THEY GIVE IN TO HIGHER TAXES!!!
Fiscal Cliff Critical Decisions – Obama vs Boehner
But first, we need a little levity in these difficult times…JOHNNY CARSON ON POLITICS – Johnny talks about indiscretions in the white house from an earlier era (Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan) but which could easily apply to today’s Obama administration.Thanks for the laughs, Johnny. We needed that… Now for the more serious stuff..
OBAMA CARE ALREADY SHOWING IT’S AFFECTS… AND NOT IN A GOOD WAY…
-Kaiser Hospitals in California have just laid off 500 workers with plans to lay off more as they prepare for changes with the Obama’s new health care programs
– Nurses just announced a one day strike in California.. and this is just the beginning of other strikes
HILARY and OBAMA MYSTERY TRIPS…
Last week it was Australia for wine tasting admist US uproar over the the Administration’s role in the BenGazi affair – and as the Mideast situation spiraled out of control
Why are Hilary and Obama traveling so much? Not to avoid the Ben Gazi affair. No , of course not.
Luckily they’ve got the Mideast situation to interrupt media scrutiny. Good luck… more at http:.//www.roadtosuccess.us/blog

GOVERNMENT BENEFITS
Depending on your immigration status, length of time in the United States, and income, you may be eligible for some federal benefit programs. Government assistance programs can be critically important to the well-being of some immigrants and their families. Frequently, however, there is a lack of information about how to access such benefits. Benefit programs can be complicated and you may be given misleading information about how they operate.
The links below will lead you to official government websites describing a range of assistance programs.
Official website with information on all available federal benefit programs. (English version – Spanish version)
Official website for Medicare, the health insurance program for people 65 years of age or older or who have specific disabilities.

HOW OBAMA WON, obama reelection, romney campaign, romneys campaign, where is mitt romney today, why romney is better than obama, WHY ROMNEY LOST, women for romney,
THE REAL TOP 10 REASONS
OBAMA WON THE PRESIDENCY
1) VOTER IRREGULARITIES ala third world:
A) Unheard of ‘99% voting turnout’ in Philadelphia inner city precincts with Black
Panthers overseeing the voting in many cases. Biased Polling Places included murals of Obama but not Romney.
B) Unregulated voting by social email in New Jersey
C) Much of right-leaning military did not get their absentee ballots.
These are just some of the voter irregularites that have been surfacing following election.
2) Obama’s ‘Dream Act’ made way for as much as 3 million illegal voters in this electionalone, not to mention other illegal voting around the country. Illegals actually came out and admitted voting for Obama.
3) Obama began more bailouts, conveniently, two months before the election, which has some affect on job growth, making Obama look better.
4) Obama and cronies stalling Libya Ben Gazi investigation of coverup until after election.
5) Obama’s campaign promoted FREE cell phones in poor areas in exchanged for votes Reported 1 million people in Cleveland, alone, benefitted from the free cell phones, which included 600 free minutes a month.
6) Obama increased welfare rolls and food stamp distribution months before election with proviso that recipients should vote for Obama.
7) Obama preyed on the youth and minorities with promises of above handouts which Romney couldn’t match even if he wanted. As Obama didn’t really have anything positive to promote for his first four years he had to tear down Romney, the man via social media so popular among the youth. The social media went viral and as did the promises for FREE phones, FREE Obama bucks and such. No way Romne could compete with this – or would have the lack of conscious to do so.
8.) Obama took credit for the GM motors improvement when, in fact, Bush paved the way for it with a big chedk when it WAS needed, in December 2008 before going out of office. Bush had also set the groundwork for the one other thing Obama took credit for , the killing of BinLaden.
9) Obama continued to use Third World Election tactics playing on the ‘Pathology of Dependency’ among the mostly young and poor. It was generlaly, the the young, poor \ and illegals who won the Presidency for Obama, not the well read, working class citizens who understood the truth about obama. It will be a rude awakening one day for these adoring young when they find themselves stuck forever in the new, growing,lower class with little hope of advancing in the new Socialist United States.
10) Romney was correct – the 47% intransigents were not going to be moved to vote beyond the Democrartic party, especially after being given more food stamps, free ‘Obama phones’ and ‘Obama bucks’ in exchange for votes.

obama relection,how obama won, why romney lost,romney campaign, romneys campaign, where is mitt romney today, why romney is better than obama, women for romney, voter irregularities, dream act, illegal voting, Ben Gazi, social marketing,47%
So, Romney – or any other Republican who would have run – had 3% to work with, a pretty difficult task to say the least. And, with Obama’s ‘ground game’ that somehow got as many as 99% of Ddemocrats voting in inner cities like Philadephia, Romney hardly hada chance, storm Sandy or otherwise.
One thing the mostly young and / or minority voters who elected Obama will now have to content with making $45,000 or so incomes plus benefits with Obama’s new system. It’s nota whole lot more than the n $20,000 minimum guaranteed income for anyone using all their
new benefits including increased food stamps, welfare, disabiliy, etc. The days of free enterprise where incentive and hard work paid dividends and made millionaires are all but over n ow as the United States if following the trends of Greece and France where, as the economy tanks so do the masses’ incomes; only a small elite is making any real income.
Obama was more about METHOD OVER MATERIAL. Obama’s forces rounded up almost any inner city folk who was breathing and got them to the polls, one way or another, and not always legal (according to many illegals, themselves).
The Obama victory reminds me of the recent San Francisco Giants’ World Series Victories two out of three years where they somehow made it, arguably, without a top caliber team.
Ownership did whatever it could to skirt issues of talent for other means of ‘winning’ – like rounding up its largely young, liberal fan base with half price tickets and other enticements, turning up the PA system and other psychologoical advantages along with the new prerequisite social marketing, and, finally, bringing in questionable journeymen players other teams don’t want, who suddenly become ‘instant stars’ such as the four Venezulelan players named Melky, Scutaro, Sandoval and Blanco, who suddenly all hit far above their lifetime averages or homerun productions, especially late season and in the World Series – much like the 2010 team with sudden wonders like Ross and Torres – more than enough to allow the Giants to miraculously make mincemeat out of one top team after another (Cincinatti, St Louis and Detroit and in 2010 Philadephia, Atlanta and Texas). If it weren’t for a couple big late season injuries to star players the Giants would have probably won it all in 2011,too.
It’s called ‘Win at Any Cost.’ Lilke the giants team, which was one of the weakest hitting teams to start the season,, Obama brought one of the weakest records ever to re-election l. Both played on young, impressionable markets, with both being ‘bought’ in by perks , whether discount tickets and ‘promises’ of a world series’ or free cell phones or more food stamps, etc.) Both used social marketing almost to the border of unfairness with the Giants getting Sandoval on the AllStar team , and others, without big numbers.
Obama got more voters with questionable tactics, eg an unheard of 99% turnout in Philadelphia’s inner city precincts. And, the ‘giveaway’ mentality spreads like wildfire as the momentumbuilds.
So, it’s a different world today. Perhaps old values don’t matter as much any more. A person on American Idol may win more for his or her look than the music. Negative political advertising can win out over honest, positive messages. And baseball playersconvicted or suspected of using illegal drugs are not necessarily looked down upon anymore, eg Barry Bonds and Melky Cabrera, who will likely join the Giants again next year afterbeing one of two giants players suspended this season.
Looks like Kruschev may be right , too, when he said back in 1956 that not only will Russia ‘ bury you’ (the U.S.) but that the US would become communist through it’s own leaders! If not communist yet , certainly socialism is already upon us.

OBAMA ZOMBIES – REPUBLICAN FUTURE: You may have noticed in watching Obama’s victory speeches and at the DNC
convention that most of Obama’s supporters appear young and/or non-white and are likely idealists,who have largely made up their minds on issuesat least for the coming years. . Assuming it’s fair to call them generally lower and middle income folks, it will be tough for Republicans to have any influence on this growing group without GIVING AWAY thingdaway while trying to make them understand how their lives could be shortchanged by relying on government help rather than seeking the road to success and real personal achievement and the real wealth that goes along with it.
Perhaps this COULD be accomplished with younger REpublican politicians and social networks.
—- OTHER NOTES: ——-
SARAH PALIN WAS RIGHT ABOUT DEATH PANELS…
It just came to light in a meeting of neurosurgeons that people over 70 needing neurosurgery will NOT be given the surgery but ‘be made comfortable’ as it were…
Stuff like this is just coming out as people are learning the truth behind Obama Care.
– – – – –
WHO’S GOING TO PAY THE TAXES WHEN THE RICH RUN OFF…
It’s coming down to who will be left for Obama to take from pretty soon. Right now, 50% of the population is paying no tax and the wealthy are paying 90% of the taxes. If they’re taxes keep getting raised they’ll either have little left to pay with or will be out of here and then who will Obama go after
Instead of trying to squeeze money out of whoever he can he should be encouraging the low income to GET OFF government assitance rather than to depend on it indefinitely (3 years is average now for low income to be out of a job and relying fully on the government).

ELECTION FALLOUT:
Now, just following the election we’re starting to see, not surprisingly, people likeGeneral Petraus, walk out of the administration. Petraus was a pawn in the Ben Gazi coverup and certainly wants to get out of there before things hit the fan…Hilary will probably be next.
