Mr. Obama's Small-Business Tax Hike

Howard Kurtz wrote an analysis ["McCain Paints Obama as a Tax Hound," Aug. 9] that dismissed claims, made in a campaign ad for Sen. John McCain, that Sen. Barack Obama would raise taxes on small business.

According to the latest Internal Revenue Service data, $706 billion of pass-through business income was reported in 2006. Of this, two-thirds was earned in households making more than $250,000 -- households on which Obama has said he will raise taxes.

If raising the tax rate on two-thirds of small-business income isn't a tax hike on small business, what is?

The tax rate on two-thirds of small-business income would skyrocket under the Obama plan. The current tax rate on this income is 37.9 percent. The Obama plan, thanks to uncapping the Social Security tax base, would shoot this small-business rate all the way up to a Carter-level 54.9 percent

What could happen, if the local small businesses can't keep the doors open, because they are giving the government too much?

No more, close to home shopping!

You will then have to drive further away from home, to get what you need, therefore spending more money on gas!$$$$

Plus:

More driving, more miles on your vehicle = more repairs = more money spent!$$$$

Also, what are you going to find when you get to the business, that has little to no competition, and can afford to keep the doors open, after giving the government over 50% of its income?

Higher prices!$$$$

Barack Obama's "Wazoo" Source of Great Wisdom!

The Obamessiah has now given us a glimpse into another great and wonderful source of knowledge… His Wazoo! The only problem is that the only people who believe what he pulls out of his royal sphincter are himself and the dumbmasses that had to remove their heads so that he could extract said wisdom.

Today at Saddleback church he said this when discussing the abortion issue:

…although we’ve had a president who is opposed to abortions over the last eight years, abortions have not gone down.

He either is lying or his wazoo has sadly misinformed him. All I had to do was a quick google search of the term "abortion rates" and found this inconvenient truth. This article states that:

The abortion rate in the USA fell to its lowest point in more than 30 years, and the actual number of abortions also continues a steady decline, according to the first new comprehensive data in five years, released today.

•Medical abortion, which uses RU-486, known as mifepristone and sold as Mifeprex to induce abortion, is rising. Medical abortions more than doubled since federal approval of the non-surgical method in 2000, from 6% of all abortions that year to 13% in 2005.

•The number of abortions, which peaked in 1990 with 1.6 million, dropped to an estimated 1.2 million in 2005. That's 8% fewer than 2000.

•The abortion rate, which is the proportion of pregnancies that end in abortion, dropped by 9% to 19.4 abortions per 1,000 women ages 15-44, in 2005. The peak — 29.3 abortions per 1,000 women — was in both 1980 and 1981. In 1974, a year after abortion became legal, the rate was 19.3.

•The number of abortion providers in the USA also dropped to 1,787, representing a 2% decline from 2000.

•Just over one in five pregnancies in 2005 (22%) resulted in abortion, down from one in four pregnancies (25%) in 2000

Not exactly what the Obamessiah's wazoo would have us believe. Facts are pesky little things when you don't really have a grasp of them, but the dumbmasses who worship at The One's "Wazoo of Wisdom" won't be bothered by the facts. Luckily for him they'll continue being the dumbmasses he needs to carry on.

I hope and pray that group begins to dwindle and if you're among them that you will soon see the light.





Update: No Longer Able To Trust His Wazoo Obama Just Resorts To Lying


The Obamessiah's "Wazoo of Wisdom" has proven to be unreliable so The Great One has just resorted to lying. It's totally understandable though when you consider that telling the truth would mean having to admit that you are in favor of babies who have survived an abortion attempt and were now outside the mother's womb and breathing just being left alone to die. Pretty presidential huh?

It's really disgusting so I'm not going to write much on it. You can read about it here though. This is just a little snippet of the article:

So again: after the above amendment was added to change the original bill, making it identical to the federal Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, Obama and five other Democrats voted to kill it. They killed the same bill that the U.S. Senate had passed unanimously. Here is the interview in which Sen. Obama offers his false explanation once again, which is contradicted not only by eyewitnesses but also by the records of his own committee:

…I hate to say that people are lying, but here’s a situation where folks are lying. I have said repeatedly that I would have been completely in, fully in support of the federal bill that everybody supported — which was to say — that you should provide assistance to any infant that was born - even if it was as a consequence of an induced abortion. That was not the bill that was presented at the state level. What that bill also was doing was trying to undermine Roe vs. Wade.

The senator is right. Someone is lying.

The only problem for The Obamessiah is that he's the one who's lying. Do not be one of the dumbmasses who continues to support this guy. Just don't.

Obama picks Biden as his running mate

CHICAGO: U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has chosen veteran Delaware Sen. Joseph Biden, a leading voice on international affairs, as his vice presidential running mate, his campaign said on Saturday.

Biden, 65, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is one of the most knowledgeable Democrats on foreign policy -- an area where Obama, a first-term senator from Illinois, has been criticized as inexperienced.

Ending days of speculation, Obama announced the decision on his Web site, featuring a photo of the two, and his campaign sent a text message and e-mail to supporters.

"Barack has chosen Joe Biden to be his running mate," the announcement said. "Joe Biden brings extensive foreign policy experience, an impressive record of collaborating across party lines, and a direct approach to getting the job done."

Biden is to travel to Springfield, Illinois, to join Obama for their first campaign event later on Saturday.

Biden, a Roman Catholic originally from the battleground state of Pennsylvania, will bring not only foreign policy expertise to the ticket but strong working-class roots.

That could help Obama connect with the blue-collar voters he has failed to attract in the run-up to the November 4 election against Republican John McCain. Obama and McCain are neck and neck in opinion polls.

Biden's 2008 presidential bid fell flat but he proved a forceful and aggressive debater, firing off some of the toughest criticisms of Republican President George W. Bush.

The choice of Biden, who was first elected to the Senate in 1972, indicates Obama was more interested in filling gaps in his foreign policy experience than in finding someone who could reinforce his message of bringing change to Washington.

The Delaware senator emerged as a strong possibility late on Friday after three other contenders -- Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh, Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine and New York Sen. Hillary Clinton -- reportedly were told they had not been selected.

Clinton, beaten by Obama narrowly in a bitter struggle for the Democratic nomination, welcomed the selection of Biden, who she described as "an exceptionally strong, experienced leader and devoted public servant."

"Senator Biden will be a purposeful and dynamic Vice President who will help Senator Obama both win the Presidency and govern this great country," she said.

HEADING FOR DENVER

Before he named his No. 2, Obama said this week he had chosen someone who would be able to help him govern and who would offer him independent advice.

The choice of a running mate can reflect on a candidate's judgment and offer hints of the qualities valued in a crucial adviser, although history has shown it is unlikely to have a major impact on the election between Obama and McCain.

McCain, 71, a Vietnam War veteran and long-time senator from Arizona, has yet to name a running mate.

The McCain campaigned quickly launched an a television ad using a clip from a Democratic presidential candidates' debate earlier this year in which Biden said he did not believe Obama was ready to be president and praised McCain.

Stretching out the suspense for maximum political impact, Obama and a very small circle of advisers kept the decision under wraps all week.

After the formal announcement, a big splash is planned when the Democrat will appear with his new running mate at the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Illinois. The venue is where Obama launched his White House bid last year.

They will then make a tour of some key battleground states, including Iowa and Montana, as they head to the Democratic Party convention that opens on Monday in Denver.

On Thursday, Obama will formally accept his party's nomination as its presidential candidate, making history as the first black American to do so.

Biden, the son of a car salesman, is less wealthy than some of his Senate colleagues and commutes to Washington from his home 80 miles (130 km) away in Delaware.

While Republicans have tried to depict Obama as a celebrity, Biden has a more down-to-earth image. "I'm not a superstar," Biden said in an interview in December.

A month after his election to the Senate in 1972, Biden's wife and daughter were killed in a car accident. He also suffered a brain aneurysm in 1988 but recovered fully.

Biden's first presidential bid was cut short in 1987 amid allegations he had plagiarized a speech by British Labour Party politician Neil Kinnock.

Biden, who has acknowledged a tendency to talk too much, has been prone to verbal gaffes.

Early in his failed presidential campaign, Biden apologized after calling Obama "articulate and bright and clean" in an interview with the New York Observer -- words perceived by critics as patronizing and suggesting Biden was surprised that a black candidate could have those qualities.

WASHINGTON (AFP) — Republican John McCain's camp Saturday said Barack Obama's choice of veteran Senator Joseph Biden as his running mate was an admission by the Democrat that he was not ready to serve as president himself.

"There has been no harsher critic of Barack Obama's lack of experience than Joe Biden," McCain campaign spokesman Ben Porritt said in a statement.

"Biden has denounced Barack Obama's poor foreign policy judgement and has strongly argued in his own words what Americans are quickly realizing -- that Barack Obama is not ready to be president."

Hammering home the point, McCain's campaign unveiled a television advertisement using Biden's own words to criticize Obama. The ad surfaced before much of the Obama camp had even woken up Saturday, and hours before Obama his VP choice were due to appear together as the Democratic ticket for the first time.

The ad shows Biden questioning Obama's lack of experience in a 2007 presidential primaries debate, and saying he would be "honored" to run with or against McCain. The Republican's campaign officials said it will air in several battleground states in the run up to November's general election.

It quotes a debate moderator addressing Biden: "You were asked, 'Is he (Obama) ready?' You said, 'I think he can be ready but right now, I don't believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.'"

Biden: "I think that I stand by the statement."

The announcer then notes what Biden himself says about McCain.

Biden: "I would be honored to run with or against John McCain, because I think the country would be better off."

Biden, elected to the Senate more than 30 years ago and who is the current chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is widely seen as key to shoring up Obama's national security and foreign policy credentials.
