Obama's Campaign Cancels Future Interviews With WFTV

I just read this at the Orlando Sentinel,

" Why did Barack Obama's campaign cancel an interview Jill Biden, wife of Sen. Joe Biden, was going to do with WFTV-Channel 9?
.......
The Obama campaign earlier Friday suggested that future interviews with WFTV were unlikely before Election Day"

Please watch the interview and decide for yourself. Of course, it goes without saying that had Sarah Palin been the person interviewed by Barbara West, this would have made the national media.

A Small Business Perspective on Obama's Tax Plan

An Army of Joe's

I am Voting Democrat: The Clueless College Student!

Hope this story makes you laugh as much as it did to me,

"Finally, I asked the troubling question about how Obama will ensure a tax break for 95% of people--despite the fact that about 40% don't pay income taxes. He struggled with that one for a while. Again, it seemed to be a foreign concept to him, like no one had ever raised the subject before.

He stumbled through a series of answers. Obama would "give" the unemployed jobs so that they could pay taxes and get a tax break. When I reminded him that would only account for 6%, he--in a tribute to the American education system--said that Obama was really talking about the 55% difference between 95 and 40. I reminded him that Obama had specified 95%, not 55%. He replied that "Obama didn't really mean that." I asked if he, the caller, was really supporting a candidate who lied about something so important?

He told me to wait while he talked to his supervisor. I could overhear bits of a conversation in which he referred to me, rather politely, as "a difficult one." (At least he didn't call me THAT one.)

When he returned to the phone, he informed me that Obama would reach the 95% figure by initiating taxes on the 40% who don't pay income taxes now, so that he could later give them their promised tax break."

Obama Will Raise Taxes!

Why does Senator Obama want to raise taxes, even though it will hurt the U.S. Economy? It is hard to understand why Obama spreads myths about the so called benefits of raising taxes.

Here are some of the most common myths about Obama’s tax plan:

1. The middle class will not be taxed – Obama wants to take money from families who have earners at all levels of income; everyone has family members who will pay more taxes, which leads to less money for food, gas, utilities, housing and education for all.

2. Only people earning over $250,000 will be taxed – To pay for Obama’s increased spending, Congress could raise taxes for those earning $100,000 or more. Obama hasn’t explained how he will repeal tax breaks for wealthy lawyers, senators, and politicians, or how he will define earnings... Take home pay? Gross earnings? Net income less expenses? Adjusted Gross Income? What?

3. Rich people sit on gold bars – Obama thinks rich people sit on gold bars, but they actually invest their wealth. After the stock market has lost 40% of its value, during his run for President, investors who help create jobs are struggling. People that own businesses are now trying to cut employees and make remaining employees work harder.

4. Government can create jobs – Obama has never owned a business, so he doesn’t know that government intervention can only help businesses create jobs or prevent businesses from creating jobs. Government entities hire very few people and can’t directly create jobs.

5. Taxation is investment in the future – Obama wants to remove funds from people’s bank accounts, partially by increasing the Capital Gains Tax, which will reduce 401K investment equity used by businesses to create jobs. On what is Obama going to spend your family’s money?

6. Patriotic to pay more taxes? – Obama and Biden think poor people, who can’t afford to pay higher taxes, are less patriotic than rich lawyers, senators, and politicians. Nonsense! Every citizen can be patriotic, even if they aren’t wealthy.

7. Raising taxes helps to spread the wealth around – Obama wants to increase government spending to support more government programs. What? Who? When? There is no timetable for success in these vague government programs.

Obama says he wants to raise taxes. Why would he do that when even the most junior of his advisors knows that it will hurt the economy and the middle class? Obama’s statements on the campaign trail have already helped to send the stock markets plummeting.

Just say NO to Obama!

Say YES to John McCain!

Joe The Plumber: Obama Tax Plan 'Infuriates Me'; 'We are The Greatest Country in the World'

Quick post with this exclusive interview by ABC News to the star of last night's debate: Joe the Plumber,

"To be honest with you, that infuriates me," plumber Joe Wurzelbacher told
Nightline's Terry Moran. "It's not right for someone to decide you made too
much---that you've done too good and now we're going to take some of it back."
"That's just completely wrong," he added.

And of all places, I found this enlightening interview at the MSNBC website,

Obama: "My Plan is to Spread the Wealth Around"

So much for "enlightened policies". We knew this was the case all the time around; now we have Obama being unapologetic about it. He wants to turn the United States into another socialist country. In his own words,
