   This is very interesting, if you look at what has happened, the liberal left was getting very engaged with watching MSNBC, thats good because most liberals don’t even get that, as weak as it is, for information. But now that Obama bombed on his debate the left is quickly leaving MSNBC and any form of information, they are going back to being very passionate with absolutely no idea of what they are talking about. And the right by contrast is watching even more than they were before the debate.

   If someone was to take a look at what employees are paying and then look at what the Obama team is promising they would see that everyone will have a huge tax bill come January 1st if the Bush tax bill is not renewed. I noticed about 3 years ago that my employees no longer had a tax deduction for Federal Withholding, when the tax cuts hit their high point, now with our employees they are going to have to go back to paying taxes like they did in the old days and for my employees that amounts to about $2300 per employee, unless the Bush tax cuts are renewed. Vote for who you want, but if their is no compromise on the tax cuts my employees all 100 of them will pay more in Federal Income Taxes.

   Guys and gals, this just proves the point once again. If in fact James is old enough to vote, he will step into the booth with no real understanding of what is going on and pull the handle. This is what Obama and the left count on! This is the target audiance they are campaigning to!

   Ok I am old but I remember back in the day my parents would study the candidates, the policies, the options, etc. People would not tell you if they were and R or a D. It was a private right and privilage that was taken very very seriously.

   Abbott and Costello explain unemployment.

   COSTELLO: I want to talk about the unemployment rate in America.

   ABBOTT: Good Subject. Terrible Times. It’s 9%.

   COSTELLO: That many people are out of work?

   ABBOTT: No, that’s 16%.

   COSTELLO: You just said 9%.

   ABBOTT: 9% Unemployed.

   COSTELLO: Right 9% out of work.

   ABBOTT: No, that’s 16%.

   COSTELLO: Okay, so it’s 16% unemployed.

   ABBOTT: No, that’s 9%…

   COSTELLO: WAIT A MINUTE. Is it 9% or 16%?

   ABBOTT: 9% are unemployed. 16% are out of work.

   COSTELLO: IF you are out of work you are unemployed.

   ABBOTT: No, you can’t count the “Out of Work” as the unemployed. You have to look for work to be unemployed.

   COSTELLO: BUT THEY ARE OUT OF WORK!!!

   ABBOTT: No, you miss my point.

   COSTELLO: What point?

   ABBOTT: Someone who doesn’t look for work can’t be counted with those who look for work. It wouldn’t be fair.

   COSTELLO: To whom?

   ABBOTT: The unemployed.

   COSTELLO: But they are ALL out of work.

   ABBOTT: No, the unemployed are actively looking for work. Those who are out of work stopped looking. They gave up. And, if you give up, you are no longer in the ranks of the unemployed.

   COSTELLO: So if you’re off the unemployment rolls, that would count as less unemployment?

   ABBOTT: Unemployment would go down. Absolutely!

   COSTELLO: The unemployment just goes down because you don’t look for work?

   ABBOTT: Absolutely it goes down. That’s how you get to 9%. Otherwise it would be 16%. You don’t want to read about 16% unemployment, do ya?

   COSTELLO: That would be frightening.

   ABBOTT: Absolutely.

   COSTELLO: Wait, I got a question for you. That means there are two ways to bring down the unemployment number?

   ABBOTT: Two ways is correct.

   COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job?

   ABBOTT: Correct.

   COSTELLO: And unemployment can also go down if you stop looking for a job?

   ABBOTT: Bingo.

   COSTELLO: So there are two ways to bring unemployment down and the easier of the two is to just stop looking for work.

   ABBOTT: Now you’re thinking like an economist.

   COSTELLO: I don’t even know what the hell I just said!

   ABBOTT: Now you’re thinking like a politician.

   We know the numbers are suspicious. Even with this bogus numbers the American people are not fooled. And president Obama calling Mitt Romney a liar. Obama has been lying to the American people for 4 years and we see that people prefer to be told lies rather than hearing the truth, that is why Obama is still doing so well. Unfortunately it will be too late when they realize what hit them. I am black so I know his type. Can you spell socialist.

   I believe James has set a record for most inaccurate statements in one day of posting. Congratulations James–you have made the lib kool aid drinkers that you worship proud.

   James take a deep breath and if you don’t remember anything else from the posts on this site that have been made in about the last hour–per Sicilian Papa—”There are less people working now than when Obama took office”. But hey the deficit is only an additional 6 trillion, no big deal. BTW, came out today from CBO–deficit this year is only 1.1 trillion down from 1.3 trillion. We really are on the right path.(sarcasm James)

   It scares me that people as ill informed with a total lack of understanding of this important issue are allowed to vote. You are scary James or whatever sockpuppet you happen to be.

   Where do these people keep coming from and why are there so many!!!

   If I may I would like to ask you a question. If you saw the tape of Obama from 2007 to the black ministers then you maybe abel to answer.

   As a black person does it offend you that Obama changed the cadance and accent to talk to that crowd to sound “more black” and I say that with no disrespect to you or any other black person.

   Rat, I see the James types scare you too?? God help us if too many of them somehow find their way to voting booths.

    I am interested in Sharon’s answer. From my perspective if (and I am not blace) I think I would be insulted that Obama thinks I need gov’t and white people to take care of me.

    Rat, I see the James types scare you too??

    They dont scare me, it makes me very sad, anngry, kinda sick to my stomach!
    The respect for America and its principles and practices is gone! No more pledge of alegance, no more taking the flag down at dusk and when it rains, no the flag flys at half mast if a dog gets hit by a mail truck. Maybe I am just too damn old!

    Ratboy. Yes Obama is a fraud and this is the problem I have with him from the beginning. I do hope Harry Reid hears him and take back the not so black, and that he does not speak with a black dialect. I see that as racist then and racist now.

    Where did all the libs go that were so interested in pointing out how important MSNBC’s little surge last week was. I guess since Fox is kicking butt even more than usual ratings don’t matter anymore. Also how come these same libs are not posting the results of the swing states every two seconds like they did when Obama supposedly had big leads. I guess a number is only important if it is good for the lefty wackos.

    Rat, I am with you on the degeneration of our country in some many areas. I hope the American people wake up soon. BTw, nothing wrong with being old, I understand how things work much better now than in my twenties. I would raise the voting age to 25 except for military personnel. I certainly wouldn’t let college age kids vote–that is when you are at your most misinformed.

    Had a little computer problem. The bottom line is Tingles was not thrilled with Obama’s performance. Ratboy I saw that live on Leno. It was funny the second time also.

    And Ratboy for the records I am from the Island. I also don’t understand how white folks are continually been call racist and you are not outrage. More white folks voted for Obama than black folks voted for any white Republican. Who are the racist. When are you guys going to start being outrage

    So how old do you have to be to remember flag up at dawn down at dusk, don’t let it touch the ground, take it down during rain, and fly it at half mast by fed order not a local whim

    My outrage is there but if I express it:………..I’m considered a racist!
