Gates Joins Buffett Chorus to Tax the Rich More

Bill Gates (richest American) noted “taxes are going to have to go up” and thus he’d prefer that they “go up more on the rich than everyone else. That’s just justice.

Back in November, when he was elected, everyone knew the economy and the Middle East would be critical issues for Obama to attack early on. But like every president before him, he’s had to deal with the unexpected as well: who could have predicted pirates off the Somali Coast or swine flu?

Only a moronic cleric in denial could confuse the recent seismic shift in American politics with simply a different political perspective of the future. Not to be too intimidating to those that were on the outgoing GOP tide – ’Obamatics’ brings to the table aggressive and proactive relief to many millions of truly suffering Americans that the Republicans simply ignored over the past 8 years. A violent revolution in the streets was thwarted, but a cataclysmic sea of change is gaining the momentum of a roaring locomotive fully loaded and racing downhill. […] Nobody provides more compelling background info for selected news !!  If there ever was a topic McCain was suppose to command in the Presidential debates was Foreign Policy and McCain could not close the deal in the first debate with Barack Obama . This was McCain’s best shot at scoring significant points with Independent voters with his huge advantage of 26 years in Congress (21 of those years in Senate), but he somehow found a way to miss the opportunity!

Well the drama of political theater unfolded that we haven’t seen in a while, as the roll call vote for Barack Obama’s Democratic Party nomination, state after state honored Clinton’s bid for the White House. Some states yield unanimous votes by their delegation for Barack Obama… even some of those states were won by Clinton, until they got to New Mexico where there were by everyone count enough votes for the nomination to have the winning delegate count — but after much political fanfare New Mexico yielded to the state of Illinois where everyone thought that would be the appropriate end by casting the winning votes to break the delegate barrier for the nomination. Not to be. […] Nobody provides more compelling background info for selected news !!  No doubt President Bush and his entire NeoCon White House, as well as the stupendous GOP affable mouthpieces Bill O’Reilly, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Haggerty would rather be dead, than be caught talking with sincere civility to suspected enemies of the state (one of the reasons the United States failed unilateral foreign policy has been so detrimental to worldwide stability), and the same failed U.S. policies that are so diametrically counter/opposed to Barack Obama’s U.S. + the world partnership in which his recent Berlin speech clearly proposed.

Barack Obama delivered a major foreign policy speech in 30-minutes to 200,000 enthusiastic onlookers and supporters at the base of the “Victory Column” — the Siegess√§ule in the middle of a roundabout called the Grosser Stern in the Tiergarten Park — Berlin’s sprawling park in the center of the city. When a reporter asked the senator if he considered the address a campaign event, he said with a puzzled look: “As opposed to?” “It’s not a political rally,” he added. “Hopefully, it will be viewed as a substantive, articulation of the relationship I’d like to see between the United States and Europe.

Antoin “Tony” Rezko, the 52 year old real estate developer, owner of several Papa Murphy’s Pizza franchises as well as several Panda Express Franchises and prominent Chicago fund raiser for Senator. Barack Obama was convicted (after a nine-week trial), on 16 of 24 counts of fraud and money laundering. The charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison. The trail concentrated on kickbacks and bribes (shakedowns), prosecutors said Rezko arranged when he was a top adviser to Illinois Governor Blagojevich.

Baited and slick’s’ slick because this pastor is Caucasian just daring racism folly. One would think Barack Obama would learn who he associates with running for President and all – NO way! What we see is what we get. I can hear the African American commentators now challenging anyone that has any opinion dissing the holier than thou Obama. If these shenanigans went on and originated from a Caucasian candidate toward blacks – there would be rioting in the black neighborhoods across America.

Wright Jr. in a speech to the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Monday. Wright continued his railing against anyone who questions his sermons as unpatriotic. This issue surfaces at the worst possible time for the African American Presidential hopeful following Obama’s glorified lecture to the American People on race trying to save his campaign and explain away his 20+ years of close relationship with Pastor Jeremiah Wright, while denouncing Pastor Wright’s remarks.
