Obama Addresses Job Creation For Election Year

“President Barack Obama’s “billion-dollar war chest”"

 

We are proud of it.

Still things seem to be going all right, toward reasonable directions. And there is an “INTRIGUING,“ “HILLARIOUS“  title of  Yahoo news.:

 

“The evangelical dilemma in South Carolina: adulterer or Mormon?” 

 

“For South Carolina conservatives, especially evangelical Christians, the 2012 campaign season is the year of magical rethinking. Look at the frontrunners:

If you want a president with a legacy of marital fidelity, you’re going to have to work around Newt Gingrich’s adultery.

If you believe that Mormons don’t really qualify as Christian, you may find yourself struggling with Mitt Romney.“

 

“almost-dead.bz.cm” you are none of my concern. you are too stupid, trivial, meaningless, filthy, same with your Russian whore and her stupid husband. YOU THINK I”M ALMOST DEAD?; your life has been useless, full of dirts with your dirty heart/eyes, even messing up churches with your filthy, dirty eyes. The LORD will deal with you, what you have done. not me. Despite all cruel/brutal things you’ve done to make me disappear, why do you think i’m still here?

“In your righteousness, bring me out of trouble. In your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.” “The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight. To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless, to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the crooked you show yourself shred. You saved the humble but bring low those whose eyes are haughty. You, O LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light…..You broaden the path beneath me, so that my ankles do not turn. I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed. I crushed them so that they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet. You armed me with strength for battle; you made my adversaries bow at my feet. You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, and I destroyed my foes. They cried for help, but there was no one to save them – to the LORD, but he did not answer. I beat them as fine as dust borne on the wind…“ “Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”;  Psalms 18″ Thank G-.

“The Left Edge of the Possible?”: “Actually Beyond Right and Left”

Respectable Mr. Robert Kuttner depicts the current national situation pretty well. As he points out in his blog, “The Left Edge of the Possible” (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-kuttner/the-left-edge-of-the-poss_b_828907.html), the real serious national political/economic issues are economic recovery and the budget, the health system, the banking/housing mess, American economic competitiveness in the world, rising gas price and global climate change.

Current national and global economic situation seems to become increasingly beyond the capacity of left and right of US politics. In other words, the right and left of US politics are increasingly limiting their abilityto smaller issues while being oblivious to eminent, bigger issues.  For example, Wisconsin Governor Walker’s attempt to rip of public workers’ right to organize that caused the consequent labor movement against it seems to be a complete sidetrack from what need to be done for the sake of solving current national issues of recession and joblessness, making things worse. Like there are not enough problems now.

Progressive Canaries in a Political Mine

Regarding Mr. Norman Solomon’s statement, “the president has empowered, not countered, the right wing by moving in its direction on a wide range of basic policies and governance formulatio­ns….Rath­er than staking out decent, progressive, populist positions and defending them with moral fervor, “

The statement, “the president empowering the right wing,” seems to be incorrect. The blind objections of the opposite political party against whatever the president’s agendas, opposition for the sake of opposition seem to have resulted in empowering itself. it sounds almost nonsense to state that it is the president who empowered the opposition party.

I believe liberals are people that are well informed, well educated of politics with passion for better society. But they also need to learn how to take in different contributing factors in judging policy outcomes. Also, sometimes, even the outcome may not agree to what they really wished for, for the sake of country, maybe sometimes sacrifice what they believe to certain extent and support their leader if there are still value on him. Choose Big One at the costs of small ones. It wouldn’t make things better if they let down their leader to let the opponents win.

In Asia, there’s a saying that if too many people row a boat, the boat will climb a mountain (instead of sailing water.) If there are too many voices and nobody know when to be silent, or give in, nothing works.

Regarding “Federal Reserve ‘Will Be Gone’ In 25 Years, Top Financial Mind Predicts, Despite Geithner’s Vote Of Confidence”

Regarding Dr. Nassim Taleb’s criticism of the government’s bailout of financial sector:
“This transformation from private debt … to public debt” is “bad” from a risk standpoint and “immoral” from an ethical standpoint.” (Source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/30/nassim-taleb-federal-reserve-will-be-gone_n_746109.html)

Dr. Taleb may be true that making financial sector’s debt as public debt through government bailout of the sector doesn’t sound right from risk and ethical standpoints.

However, from the standpoints of national economic security and anti-Possible 2nd Great Depression, bailingout financial sector was inevitable, necessary evil, not for the love of greedy financiers (who will live happily ever after, with or without bailout, with their accumulated wealth hidden in their backyard) but for the love of country and the majority of population who would have actually bore the devastating aftershock, real costs of collapsing financial sectors if there had not been government bailout. To achieve bigger goals, maybe we should sacrifice smaller goals if they are conflicting each other and cannot be achieved all together.

It seems to be a matter of right priority setting; I believe, national economic security and preventing second great depression domestically and internationally should be in higher order than risks and ethics in the hierarchy of national priority. Save big chunk first and solve smaller problems one by one.

Fed may or may not exist in next a few decades if it keeps mis-estimating its costs and benefits and continue misjudgement.

Cesca’s American Temper Tantrum, Center-Leftness

Mr. Cesca has interesting, insightful view of defining Americans as Center-Left in place of Center-Right in below  post.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bob-cesca/despite-americas-temper-t_b_735466.html

According to the numbers shown in the below excerpt, America definitely sounds like “Center-Left” nation.

“A majority of Americans, 54 percent, believe abortion should remain legal. (The pro-life label is also misleading, so we’d do well to ignore polls containing that frame. After all, who in their right mind would admit to a pollster they’re “anti-life?”)

A super-majority, 65 percent, of Americans refuse to sacrifice civil liberties for additional anti-terrorism measures.

50 percent of Americans, even in this slow recovery, believe the environment should be given priority over economic issues.

Americans are now solidly in favor of same-sex marriage. 58 percent.

A massive 87 percent of Americans believe gun laws should remain as they are now or become stricter.

A majority of Americans support embryonic stem cell research. A majority of Americans support allowing open LGBT service in the military. Overwhelming majorities of Americans support social welfare programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Americans support the progressive income tax, and we support allowing the Bush tax cuts for the super rich to expire.”  – Bob Cesca-

I am glad to hear that “50 percent of Americans, even in this slow recovery, believe the environment should be given priority over economic issues.” At this tipping point of earth, the issue of environment should be the umbrella issue that incorporate economic issue as one of its subcategory issues. Without livable environment, the issue of economy doesn’t exist in our horizon.

And I find Mr. Cesca’s below view very interesting.

“Unfortunately, there’s a good chance a Republican Congress will try to freeze spending or force a government shutdown, risking an economic backslide at the worst possible time. Congress and the press, meanwhile, are mistaking inchoate tantrums for a “center-right” shift and that’s simply not the case. We have anger management issues here, and I’m still hopeful that we’ll snap out of it and grow up before we put the recovery in jeopardy…”

America needs tantrum/anger management to mature.

Obama, Elizabeth Warren, Meet Amid Speculation She Could Be Picked To Head Consumer Protection Agency

Adding Elizabeth Warren to his crew, along with his new economic plan of expansion, extension of research and development tax credits, allowing businesses to write off their equipment plants investments, $50 billion infrastructure investment, will help President better steer tough pre-election water. At this point, positive thinking is better. Nobody knows the outcome yet.

Morrissey: Chinese People Are A ‘Subspecies’

Animal right should be protected. But, I am not sure whether that cause justifies Chinese to be called as subspecies. Sure, many chinese have not been culturally civilized (from western standard) or globalized regarding food or other related activities, and the bulk of that population still struggles to find whatever food and not to starve. They even go out to peel trees to eat tree barks or any kind of wild plants. Although China became the number 2 super economy, it’s the success story of riches, not poor that are in similar conditions as starving Africans.

if Chinese were “subspicies,” all ancestors of current races in ancient times or all hunting folks here must have been and must be “subspicies”, as they cruelly killed animals. Also it’s culture. If Chinese considered cows and pigs as their pets and only ate deers or rabbits, they would have criticized American for animal cruelty for eating beef and pork. Although it’s gross to talk about, what about those people in civilized world who had to eat their friends’ body to avoid starvation while waiting for rescue in extreme accidents? how are they being called?

God Bless This Country and President: “Obama’s In Martha’s Vineyard, But Can He Really Relax?”

I am glad to hear that President is taking recess time of his own, away from the interruptions of usual family affairs and politics. I wish him to recharge himself with passion, vigor and energy during this vacation to emerge with the clear view of priorities of political and 2010/2012 election issues and what is most important for this country and him.

I sincerely wish to see him succeed in his mission. As an extremely meager christian who barely follows the basic christian rules but trust myself as a right-minded human being and my pure intention for him and this country, I sincerely believe that there is a reason why God appointed him as a Head of this country at this point of time. I wish him to achieve, accomplish the purposes of his existence, his mission that God assigned to him.

And I applaud his handling of following: “….but shortly after the president arrived, he announced a series of recess appointments. He filled four diplomatic and agency jobs under a temporary authority he gains while Congress is on recess, and he blamed Republicans for forcing him to bypass the normal confirmation process.”

It’s a shrewd, right strategic approach. Through watching how politics work, though for very short period, and my personal life experience, I learned that high moral standing without specific counteracting strategies to problems can be meaningless, especially when the opponents don’t have any morality, consciousness and reasoning. I wish God to straighten him if he makes mistakes.

Robert Reich: “Joe Barton and the Big Big Debate”

“Mr. Joe Barton created “a Hillarious National Joke,” didn’t he?“

There are two questions I’d like answer.

Question A: What do you think about the current political trend of Misleading of “Regulations on Big Corporations” as “Big Government”

My Response: Yes, definitely, we the public have noticed it. You know? Fortunately, there are two sides of everything. The tragic meltdowns of everything we have experienced for the last a few years are sad. But they became the stepping stones, engines of policy reforms to cure the chronic structural problems of this country that, otherwise, would have continued sickness of this country. Now, people don’t think about whether big government is good or bad. People are demanding stricter regulations on financial sector and oil industry and demand political leaders to get out of their ambiguous positions between corporates and people. Isn’t this great?

The deeper the pain is, the deeper, more fundamental the reforms become ! No pain, no change !

Question B. What do you think about “100% publicly financed campaigns for national office?

My Response: A good idea !

Although lobbyists will lose there current jobs, “Campaign Finance Reform,” “Publicly financed political campaigns” will definitely drive political leaders to tune on what the public wants instead of what corporates want, what’s good for the country, and improve fairness and justice in politics.

Additionally, “Campaign Finance Reform” will become a great chance to transform these lobbyests into future’s promising workers that will be far more productive and contribute to the society by working in other industries. For example, they can use their strategies, skills in either philanthropic industries, humanitarian industries (?) or in resolving world issues such as terrorism (they can lobby terrorists against terrorism), threats of nuclear arms (they can work as US diplomats to lobby, persuade the Iranian Gov. against nuclear arms in favor of superior traditional weapons or no weapon at all), the wars, moral corruptions, and AIDs in Africa (they can lobby rebels against premarital acts and impregnating single ladies with AIDs and babies and deserting them, etc)….If lobbyists’ tenacity and shrewd tactics can be used in right places for right causes, the world would be far better place !”
