The Proudest day of my life......

Today october 22 i officially became a citizen of these great United States, I am more then ever of the conviction that despite all the problems we face at the moment, this country still is the greatest and the most generous country on the face of the planet, and i am determine to play my part and to do whatever i can to contribute to the development of my new country.

Never before had Old glory meant so much to me then today......

President Bush in a video message welcoming us as new American citizens.

So the big question now is what does being an American really mean to me?.....As someone who has lived and traveled abroad, I can say that the United States is one of only a very few countries where individual liberty is held above the arbitrary power of government. it is the only country I know which takes a fair and critical look at it's own history, sometimes to the unfortunate point of obscuring the good which has been done. and although I did not approve of the War in Iraq, and still believe that we went to War for the wrong reasons, I am proud to be an American and proud of our troops fighting in other countries to protect free people everywhere. i am all for bringing the troops home, but bring them home victorious, so that the billions of tax payers dollars, and the thousands of irreplaceable lives lost on the battle field will not be for nothing.
Generations of Americans before me all came from other countries, some were poor and some very well off, but all found hopes and dreams in America the land of the free, all dare to dream and found that their dreams could come true, so it is with this sense of hope and pride that i humbly declare too that i am indeed proud to be an American....

Can Taxpayers afford another Bailout?...................

I am not an expert in matters relating to finance and investing in the stock market, but i really don't understand why U.S tax payers have to bailout wall street and these huge banks who have brought this present crisis upon themselves.

Wall street and these banks have been greedy, and practically stealing from the American people with their sub prime loans and other bad investments. I feel no pity for them or their big fat executives who get richer and fatter of the American people. I see no reason whatsoever to leave my daughter bankrupt and billions of dollars in debt. let these people swallow their own pills.

Let wallstreet lick its own backside, the American people just cannot afford anymore bailout...

If the experts are right, the nation now risks great financial hardship, because there is no one to stand up and explain the situation. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson warned Monday afternoon that car loans and student loans were likely to tighten. Other economists have warned of the possibility of widespread corporate failures and unemployment, if the short-term credit markets freeze up. Bank failures, or mergers, are likely to continue. The taxpayer costs of federal insurance on deposits could increase. so either way we are all fucked big time.

I would much rather Congress focus on helping the millions of Americans who now face dire financial hardship, and the countless others who are about to lose their home because of these fools.

Bush address to the nation on the nation's finacial crisis...

Speaking in the most scary and dire terms, President Bush on Wednesday warned Americans and lawmakers reluctant to pass a historic financial rescue plan that failing to act fast risks wiping out retirement savings, increasing foreclosure rates, job losses, closed businesses and "a long and painful recession." Bush called on Congress to pass the administration's rescue plan for Wall Street, which would leave taxpayers on the hook for up to $700 billion--just before Election Day. The president told the public that the "rescue effort is not aimed at preserving any individual company or industry."

He said the government is the only entity that is capable of buying financial firms' troubled assets at their current low prices and holding them until their value returns to normal. He argued that if a bailout is not approved, foreclosures would rise, millions of people could lose their jobs and reminded them that "ultimately our country could experience a long and painful recession."
The economic crisis is almost certain to overshadow the rest of Bush's four months left in office and could hugely impact his legacy.

Top Clinton fundraiser known as the Hellraiser switches support to McCain...

A top Hillary Rodham Clinton fundraiser threw her support behind Republican John McCain on Wednesday, saying he will lead the country in a centrist fashion and accusing the Democrats of becoming too extreme. Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter, will announce her support of Sen. John McCain during a press conference on Wednesday.

Forester, a member of the DNC's Platform Committee and Democrats Abroad chapter, said she will "campaign and help him through the election, but will not switch parties" according to her spokesman.

"I believe that Barack Obama, with MoveOn.org and Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean, has taken the Democratic Party — and they will continue to — too far to the left," Lynn Forester de Rothschild said. "I'm not comfortable there."

Forester was a major donor for Clinton, earning her the title as a "Hillraiser" for helping to raise at least $100,000 for Clinton's presidential campaign, which she lost to Obama.

When will the Democrats ever learn..................

As Sen. Obama sinks in the poll and the GOP steals the spotlight for the first time. Sen Obama its seems is at a lost as to how to counter the the Sarah Palin effect. today word is coming out that Barack Obama planned to "dispatch" Hillary Clinton and other prominent women Democrats to counter the energy Sarah Palin has brought into the presidential race.

The Obama camp in my opinion made a colossal mistake by not putting Sen. Clinton on the ticket, now they are about to pay a huge price for underestimating the power of women, when they loose the election in November.
I can just see them in panic mode right now and having second thoughts for not adding Clinton to the ticket. now their ego and arrogance will be the ruin of the Democratic party. as ususal,the democtats have manage to screw up big time again.

Obama falls in the polls, McCain takes lead.......

The Gallup daily tracking poll is reporting that John McCain has overtaken Barack Obama in a recent poll just taken.McCain leads Obama 48 percent to 45 percent among registered voters, by Gallup’s measure. McCain has so far earned the same convention bounce as Obama, though at a more rapid pace.

Rasmussen’s daily tracking poll also reported today that when "leaners” are included, Obama and McCain are now tied at 48 percent. That means that, by Rasmussen’s measure, Obama’s 6-point bounce has been erased. CBS News polling had shown the same outcome midway through the GOP convention.

McCain’s rise in the polls comes as Nielsen Media Research reported that the Republican convention earned more television viewers than the Democratic convention. Republicans earned an average audience of 34.5 million, while Democrats earned an average viewership of 30.2 million.

This can not be good news for the Democrats,maybe its time for the Dems to make that 3 am phone call to Senator Clinton, because God knows they need all their heavy guns on the front lines.
