Obama Birth Certificate

"The President believed the distraction over his birth certificate wasn't good for the country. It may have been good politics and good T.V., but it was bad for the American people and distracting from the many challenges we face as a country," explained the White House Communications Director, Dan Pfeiffer, in a prepared statement.

Why The Republicans are Dangerous from the Wall Street Journal and Alan Blinder

This is from the conservative Wall Street Journal, Tuesday, April 19th, "Paul Ryan's Reverse Robin Hood Budget," by Alan S. Blinder:

To paraphrase, he simply states that the new Republican budget from the House is the worst of all of them--helping the rich get richer, of course, and forcing the middle class and poor to get poorer.

Then he states: "...House Republicans want to repeal every cost containment measure enacted in last year's health reform legislation."

His concluding paragraph: "No, the House Republican plan is not the only game in town. It's only the worst."

Enough said.

The New Budget

This is why I support our president:

He can add and subtract.

The Republicansd made a big deal about removing forty billion dollars from the budget, but when the dust cleared and the military money was added into the equation--because Republicans are lovers of war and war contracts to keep the rich richer--the actual amount removed: about 340 million.

They want to cut the education budget and head start so our next generation won't know how poor they are in math.

RACISM

So we allowed the country to change because of racism--racism plain and simple. The president is stopped and blocked at every pass, yes, due to racists who came out and gave the government away--now look at us.

Fifty some years ago the Kerner Report wrote that our nation was dividing along race and class lines and it would be our downfall.

A prediction that is now coming true: a potential government shutdown, the demise of Planned Parenthood (which does very little in the field of abortion, but lots and lots in the field of helping women), the end of Medicaid and Medicare, etc. etc. etc.

If our nation could stop acting on the race card, stop being racists, give opportunities to everyone--including the present President--who knows what we can accomplish. But, no, we have to vote on the racist agenda and now--

the Kerner Report and I say look where were going now. No better for us!

Unemployment Drops

Unemployment is now at 8.8%.

Imagine how much more this president could accomplish if the Republicans and the Tea Partiers and the racists and the conservatives would begin to cooperate with him.
