Wikileaks – Julian Assange addressed the UN about asylum – he does not want to be extradited back to Sweden.
Economy – Head of the Philadelphia branch of the Fed admits that the recent quantitative easing initiative will not help the economy.
Women – This is what Obama spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter had to say about women “That’s the other thing that you find most often with women. They’re not really concerned about what’s happened over the last four years, they really want to know what’s going to happen in the next four years.”
Libya – According to Newsweek Within 24 hours of the 9-11 anniversary attack on the United States consulate in Benghazi, U.S. intelligence agencies had strong indications al Qaeda–affiliated operatives were behind the attack.

Post Office - For the second time in two months, the U.S. Postal Service will default on a congressionally mandated payment to pre-fund retiree health benefits
Egypt – President Mosi says any insults about Mohammed are “unacceptable”. I agree, but he has to realistic, not everyone is going to show tolerance, especially if they protest by killing others – this is not the way to earn respect.
Voter Fraud - Preliminary audits indicated more than one million Florida voters claimed New York mailing addresses. Over 1,700 people were found with voter registrations in both states.
Economy - New orders for manufactured durable goods in August decreased $30.1 billion or 13.2 percent to $198.5 billion, the U.S. Census Bureau announced today.

Obama phones – At a rally in Cleveland, one supporter was hailing Obama for her free phone, called an “Obamaphone” paid for by taxpayers.
>>”New reports surfaced that Warren defended big steel and coal industries as a practicing lawyer. She is also accused of practicing law in Massachusetts without a license.”
ReplyDeleteAlthough that’s an interesting contradiction to what Warren claims to stand for, I think Scott Brown would be better off to focus his criticisms against her on the fact that she’s an overpaid, socialist university professor who doesn’t believe people deserve the rewards for the businesses they build and who will stand in the way of repealing Obamacare. IMO that would be a much more effective line of attack, especially at this late date.
>>”Julian Assange addressed the UN about asylum – he does not want to be extradited back to Sweden.”
Wouldn’t it be nice if we ALL had the clout to address the UN? There’s a few things I’d like to say, but I’m just a lowly, law-abiding citizen.
>>”...Women. They’re not really concerned about what’s happened over the last four years, they really want to know what’s going to happen in the next four years.”
It pains me to pick on my own gender but women seem to be getting stupider. Anyone who’s sincerely concerned about the next four years should pay close attention to what occurred in the last four.
>>”France – A 75% tax on the wealthy passed”
Wish I had a crystal ball so that people could see now how that’s going to work out. Might provide a timely lesson to U.S. voters for this election season.
>>”For the second time in two months, the U.S. Postal Service will default on a congressionally mandated payment to pre-fund retiree health benefits.”
No doubt the P.O. is counting on a bailout from the taxpayers, and they will probably get it regardless of who is president. No lesson will be learned.
>>” President Mosi says any insults about Mohammed are “unacceptable”.
Is it okay then for President Obama to declare that insults against Jesus are unacceptable? Since when does the leader of another country get to tell us what is acceptable?
>>Voter Fraud – I think there’s going to be a lot of that going on and if Romney wins we’d better be prepared for a big, ugly fight.
>>”New orders for manufactured durable goods in August decreased...13.2%...”
I’m shocked at how little attention this has gotten, especially by the stock market.
>>I have done some poll analysis in Florida and Ohio and by my calculations Obama’s lead is exaggerated by about 1.8 points in Florida and 2.1 points in Ohio.”
That’s good news, Patrick.
>>Obama phones – Don’t know if you listen to Rush Limbaugh at all but he has a FUNNY parody that includes a reference to Obama phones. I laughed out loud when I heard it and I don’t do that too often. You might be able to get it on the internet, if you’re interested.
No I do not listen to Limbaugh, but the tape of the lady talking about her obamaphone is funny. I agree about Scott Brown. I talk to people in the Semiconductor business and their fab and manufacturing sites are half loaded. This is really bad sign for the economy.
