Part 1 of 4

The President is often being cited as a radical, surrounded by radicals. Standby One will show you the following players who influence Barack Obama now and in the past. Even the former

players are never far away. Let’s call it a symbiotic relationship. (More info can be found at stanbyone.com)

Rev. Wright

Obama’s lifelong spiritual adviser, the Reverend made primetime news during the election with his shameful statements regarding the evil whites, saying

“God Damn America” said the U.S. brought on the 9/11 attacks, called the U.S. the United States of the KKK, said the government feeds drugs to blacks, and many many more hateful statements.

The Rev. Louis Farrakhan, also an anti-Semite and black racist, was recently honored by Rev. Wright for “Lifetime Achievement”.
This multi-millionaire, the man who married Barack and Michelle, was an obvious hate monger. The President often stated that the Reverend was a major inspiration to him. It makes you

wonder.

Acorn

This organization that was basically an extension of the Democratic Party, so fraught with corruption that it amazes people they were around as long as they were. Barack Obama was a big

supporter.

Acorn’s people were successful in getting votes where no votes could or should be found. Remember the dead voters they somehow got to the ballot box? The internal fraud? Now most people

know about the videos that brought this rotten edifice down but that was just the tip of the iceberg. It’s scary to think that although “Acorn” is no more it’s simply been rebranded in most

states under a new name.

William Ayers

An unrepentant terrorist, he was quoted (coincidentally on September 11, 2001, in the New York Times) as being proud and unapologetic for the bombings of the Pentagon, the Capitol and the

New York City Police where several police officers were murdered as a result. In fact, he stated that his only regret was that they hadn’t done more.

Bill Ayers wrote a book called “Fugitive Days”. Good friend Barack Obama wrote a dust-jacket blurb for this book. Standby One Obama, you did what?

Mr. Ayers is married to Bernadine Dohrn (worked with Michelle Obama), the women J.Edgar Hoover called “the most dangerous woman in America”.

With allies like Bill Ayers who needs enemies?

Tony Rezko

Yet another convicted felon with very close ties to BarackObama.

On July 31, 1995, the first ever political contributions to Obama were $300 from a lawyer, a $5,000 loan from a car dealer, and $2,000 from two food companies owned by Rezko. Starting in

2003, Rezko was one of the people on Obama’s U.S. Senate campaign finance committee, which raised more than $14 million. Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama that Chicago Tribune

reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with seed money for his U.S. Senate race. Obama in 2007-08 identified over $250,000 in campaign contributions to various

Obama campaigns as coming from Rezko or close associates, and said that he donated almost two-thirds of that amount to nonprofit groups.

After it had been reported in 2006 that Rezko was under federal investigation for influence-peddling, Obama purchased a 10 foot (3.0 m) wide strip of Ms. Rezko’s property for $104,500,

$60,000 above the assessed value. According to Chicago Sun-Times columnist, Mark Brown, “Rezko definitely did Obama a favor by selling him the 10-foot strip of land, making his own parcel

less attractive for development.” Once this came to light Obama acknowledged that the exchange may have created the appearance of impropriety, and stated “I consider this a mistake on my

part and I regret it.”

With all the documents that have come out recently regarding this duo it’s not surprising that Obama doesn’t want to talk about Tony.

Well the major two parties have thoroughly screwed up this time. Not only have they ruined any semblance of freedom for the current generation, they have buried the next two generations so deep in debt, that hardly any of our grandkids will ever comprehend what quality of life feels like. This has triggered a major backlash in America. It has resulted in the tidal wave of support for a fresh party. This new party is collectively being called the national tea party.

So how did we get to this point? The revolutionary war was a result of citizens who had been pushed to their breaking point with regulations and ever escalating taxes. Sound familiar? This started with the Boston teaparty in which the tea was dumped into the harbor. People then as now do not like to have the fruit of their labors taken from them and then spent on things they don’t believe in. It was that way then and it is that way now. You cannot change human nature. Individuals are endowed with rights by the creator and one of those rights is liberty. The founding fathers had no clue that the totalitarianism of King George would ever be able to rot America ever again. They painstakingly wrote our constitution to prevent it from happening.

What they didn’t recognize is that the nation would move away from the grace of God to a humanist philosophy of elites determining what is best for the masses. As good as the constitution was, no document is any good if the leaders sworn to defend it simply ignore it. That is what has happened. Every year little by little, we lose more of our freedoms. Each year more new laws and rules are imposed on us that can imprison us should they be enforced. The undermining of our free market system began after world war II when soviet spies were given positions in our government. Read a great book by Ann Coulter called Treason for an in depth history of how that occurred.

Which brings us to today and the proliferation of the tax day tea party april 15 events everywhere. These aren’t the kooks and extremists that the evening news would have you believe. No these are truly the traditional average Americans who understand what freedom and liberty are, and see it slipping away. They aren’t from any one party. They include members from at least 5 parties from all walks of life, race and religions. When a neighborhood hospital closes it’s doors because some law demands them to treat for free non people, that isn’t racist, that is a genuine hardship to individuals. When it is taught in schools that abortion is a choice yet wearing a seat belt is not a choice, there is something not right. When legislation is going through capitol hill that something a person says can land that person in jail under the classification of hate speech, then something is wrong.

Massachusetts is known as the most socialist sympathetic state as a whole in America. It is nicknamed Taxachusetts. Since the existing leadership with super majorities in both houses can do whatsoever it wants in theory, this makes millions of people nervous. When it was learned that this government was going to bankrupt the nation with socialized health care, in which each voter would be required to buy no matter how needy, the uprising of the teaparts even reached into taxachusetts. Scott Brown, a liberal republican promised to halt the hated health care takeover and he won the election by a considerable margin.

Prior to 1967, when the 25th Amendment was sanctioned, there was no clear legalLawful practice for the temporary movement of authority when a president became in poor health or debilitated. Following are occasions when such cases happened plus some fascinating sidelights. This is just one of the Human Issues even presidents of the most prevailing nation in the world experience.
 
During his second period, Grover Cleveland suffered surgical procedure to remove cancerous tissue from his jaw. Cleveland wanted to keep his situation secret because the financial system was also below par. He arranged to use the yacht of his buddies Commodore Elias Benedict, the Oneida, as a makeshift floating infirmary. He was back on the job in a month; the surgical procedure was not publicly known until 1917, when one of the surgeons published a complete account in the Saturday Evening Post.
 
Woodrow Wilson fell ill in September 1919 while on a travel around the country and went through a serious stroke a few days later. While getting better, Wilson declined to pass his responsibilities to Vice President Thomas Marshall. His wife Edith was the gatekeeper to the president all through his recovery, and she was thought to have had substantial control over the course of public affairs.
 
Warren Harding fell sick in 1923, while traveling from Alaska to California on the Voyage of Understanding, a national tour dedicated to publicize his presidential plans. He was believed to be a victim of food poisoning. Six weeks later, while the President’s wife Florence, read a favorable magazine outline to her husband, the president had a stroke and expired. Florence Harding stopped an autopsy, and several years later an author accused her of poisoning her spouse, but nearly all of the historians do not believe this to be right.
 
Before Franklin Roosevelt became the president, he was partially paralyzed as a result of polio and frequently sat on a wheel chair, although as a regulation photographers were not allowed to photograph him in the chair. Despite his wish to project a robust image, during his 12-year-plus reign, Roosevelt suffered from sinusitis, impacted wisdom teeth, bronchitis, more than a few bouts of influenza, systolic and diastolic hypertension, anemia, gallbladder problems, bronchial pneumonia, pulmonary ailment, and congestive heart failure. He died in office of a cerebral internal bleeding belived to have been grounded by his heart troubles and high blood pressure.
 
Dwight Eisenhower had a cardiac arrest in September 1955. The president claimed this was his first, but Dr. Thomas Mattingly, a cardiologist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, alleged it may have been his third and that the two earlier once (one in 1953, when Ike was president) were reported as mysterious illnesses. In June 1956, at the time that he was campaigning for a second tenure, Eisenhower submitted himself to operation for ileitis, or inflammation of the intestine. In November 1957, after welcoming the comming president of Morocco, Ike had a slight stroke. While campaigning for Nixon in 1960, he suffered from ventricular fibrillation.

Sixty years after the diplomatic and economic relations between the Philippines and Indonesia were established in 1949, key players of the two neighboring countries have convened here recently to celebrate the major gains of the Philippine-Indonesia bilateral ties.

On the occasion of the 60 Years Diplomatic Relations between Indonesia and Philippines held here last month, the continuing Philippine-Indonesia relations is viewed as a “catalyst” in the growth, strength and security of the Brunei Darussalam-Indonesia-Malaysia-the Philippines East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA).

Both Indonesia and the Philippines are archipelagic and maritime countries whose strategic locations serve as leaders over the sea route of trade and commerce from America and Europe that passes through Tawi Tawi and the Celebes Sea as well as of the fuel supply passing through Malacca and Lombok Straits.

In a statement, Mindanao Economic Development Council (MEDCo) Chairman Virgilio Leyretana said that the unique geographical and historical affinity between the Philippines and Indonesia, coupled with their rich natural endowments, has made the two countries “formidable partners”, particularly in accelerating the growth of BIMP-EAGA.

“The Philippines highly regards Indonesia as an influential partner in trade and a strong ally in securing peace and stability in Southeast Asia. Thus, we value our mutual bonds of friendship and association,” said Leyretana, who joined his Indonesian counterparts as a resource person during the anniversary celebration held in Manado.

The Philippine-Indonesia relations begun on 24 November 1949 and since then important milestones have been achieved in the areas of peace and order cooperation, border management, defense and security, humanitarian aid as well as bilateral trade and investment relations.

The two countries have been strong trade and investment partners, marked by the bullish and sustained economic exchanges. In 2008, Indonesia ranked as Philippines’ 14th bilateral trading partner and 13th export market. In 2007, Philippine exports to Indonesia amounted to US$524 million while its imports from Indonesia totaled US$1.2 billion.

According to the latest announcement of the Investment Coordinating Board of Indonesia, the Philippines had invested a total of US$167 million in 31 various projects in Indonesia from August 1967 to December 2000. The DTI Bureau of Export Trade Promotion also reported that Indonesian investments in the Philippines amounted to US$48.99 million in 1998.

Leyretana said that the RP-RI Border Agreement augurs well in the overall EAGA initiative to strengthen border patrols through the regional implementation of Customs, Immigration, Quarantine and Security (CIQS) laws

The strong Philippine-Indonesia relations was also noted with establishing closer ties between each local government unit as seen through the success of the Jose Abad Santos-Glan and Sarangani Cooperation Triangle (JAGS-CT) which productively generated concrete gains in the sisterhood agreement on trade, tourism and education.

Meanwhile, both countries also help the recent Coral Triangle Initiative, which stresses the importance of marine and coastal resources and people of the Coral Triangle, the world’s largest biodiversity site spanning Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Solomon Islands and Timor-Leste.

“Located within the Ring of Fire, both the Philippines and Indonesia have been victims of recent typhoons, earthquakes and many other natural tragedies that wrecked havoc to both countries. Thus, we should be one in raising our voice to the Copenhagen Conference on climate change in December this year,” Leyretana said on climate change. (PIA)

Every good campaign has a great political campaign manager standing behind it. Apart from the candidate, the campaign manager is the most important person on the team, responsible not only for the everyday often have a hard time finding a qualified and available campaign manager. Many times, their solution is to have the candidate serve as his own campaign manager, guiding a team of volunteers, family, and friends. This is a big problem. Every campaign needs a campaign manager that is not the candidate, even if the manager is only a volunteer or part-time staff member. Candidates need to shake hands, make speeches, and ask for donations… they can’t do those jobs if they are also trying to run the day to day operations of the campaign.

Where, then, can a small, local campaign find a fantastic campaign manager? Here are ideas to start the search:

- Campaign Manager of Past Elections – talk to former candidates for the office you are seeking, as well as candidates and politicians in your area to find out who is running the smaller campaigns in your community and whether or not they are available.

- Your Local Political Party – call your your local party and ask who they would recommend. Often, political operatives with only a few campaigns under their belt maintain a relationship with local party offices seeking new opportunities.

- Recent College Graduates – check with your town college’s political science department (both undergrad and graduate programs) to see if they know anyone who might be interested in getting their feet wet in a campaign management position. You’d be surprised how many poli sci majors in college also have significant volunteer campaign experience by the time they graduate.

- Friends of the Candidate – while it is often more advisable to have a political campaign manager who has experience in politics, it is not always possible to find someone who has experience and is available. Seeing this, the campaign should seek out a friend of the candidate who is organized, confident, and willing to learn to serve as campaign manager, possibly with ongoing counsel from paid consultants.

Finding a great political campaign manager is a tough task for campaigns without great exposure or lots of cash, but it can be done. Ask around, talk to previous candidates and current politicians, and don’t forget your local college campus. Above all, remember that letting the candidate serve as his or her own campaign manager is often a recipe for trouble. Seek out a qualified manager for your campaign, you’re sure to be glad, and will be well on the road to victory.

Cash for carts has been receiving a lot of comments and criticism from every direction and it is no wonder, the stimulus spending was being abused before the bill’s ink was dry. Well, at least there is one group of the needy population namely “the golf cart purchasers” that is receiving government subsidy at the time of the crazy recession. After all, we all know the country club taxpayers are in need of another tax break.

Some people will say that it is a waste of the taxpayer’s money. Some people will support this program for all the reasons unknown. And some are just sitting in one corner waiting for something to come their way. The other ninety percent of the population don’t know a stimulus from a massage.

Electric golf carts would by far reduce the effect or cut down the ongoing car pollution thereby decreasing the negative effects that cars and trucks cause to humanity, if we could just convince everyone to leave for work an hour early and wear funny cloths. If you want to play golf, you take your cart instead of driving your car, provided you live just a few miles from the course on a twenty-mile-an-hour road (sarcasm). If you want to go elsewhere in your community such as grocery store, gym or market, you can always take the cart if you live in Mayberry, North Carolina. Would it suffice to say that the Cash For Carts program can benefit even the tiniest percentage of the population from the ongoing worldwide crisis? Yes, it does add up as long as you purchased your calculator in Washington. Cash for carts is a subject where one can only comment and criticize. The usefulness or the wastefulness is yet to come.

Well, we all know that windmills are built utilizing the energy that comes from a renewable source. Practically, many people will just use golf carts for playing golf while it is true that it can get you around town in the smaller communities. However, the whole idea to this is that the taxpayers (you and me included) will somehow think their money is subsidizing a community of golfers or golf cart purchasers. Many think that this is totally a waste of money especially when so many Worldwide are suffering from the recession. I say stop being selfish and understand country clubbers need great deals on their golf carts just as much as first time home buyers.

It should be known that this boom in the golf cart follows the IRS rule that says golf carts will qualify for the electric car credit for as long as they can be considered road worthy. This means that these golf carts are in essence the same as the typical golf carts with the addition of safety measures like side and rear-view mirrors as well as three point seat belts. Usually, a golf cart can travel at about 15 to 25 miles an hour. Basically, we are to believe, these golf carts are modified for public utilization and not just for the golf terrain. Never-mind the public terrain hasn’t been modified for 20mph golf carts.

It can be appreciated that the cash for carts program was probably devised with good intentions by politicians that spend a lot of valuable thought time on the gold course. However, the program will always lead to the road of abuse, waste and fraud. You can catch up on this gab but in today’s time, you never will without the help of people like me with too much time on my hands. Visit GovernmentCashForCarts.com for the latest developments in this ridiculous stimulus.

It was revealed by the Sunday Telegraph that Tom Wise, an MEP with the UK Independence Party, which condemns politicians for exploiting the “European Union gravy-train”, is claiming £36,000 a year of public money for a researcher, Ms Lindsay Jenkins, whom he is actually paying just £6,000.He trousers the remaining £30,000, which goes into his bank account and is spent largely on wine.

Mr Wise, a wine-loving 57-year-old ex-policeman, first became financially connected to Ms Jenkins last autumn when they agreed she would be paid £500 a month to work as a statistical researcher for him.He gave her European parliament forms to sign but they did not contain the specified amount of her salary. When he applied to the parliament’s payments office to register her he told them he was paying her £36,000 p.a.

You may think that’s rich, considering Mr Wise’s last statement on the European Union was: “UKIP are the only party who think that the whole concept [of the EU] is built on a succession of lies. They will not tell you what it will cost as they have no idea. Yet you – and I – have to pay for it.” Well more us than him it seems. There’s one burning question though – how many wine racks would you need for £30,000 worth of wine?According to our rough and ready reckoning assuming a decent vintage costs around £8.00, that’s 3,750 bottles. Among the ideal wine gifts for Mr Wise, other than millions of wine charms, would be 234 standard 16-bottle wine racks.

Mr Wise, who is entitled to an annual salary of £59,095 and a range of expensive perks, denounces the EU for being “a hideous waste of your money”. Investing in wine accessories such as a wine fridge (we reckon around 120 would do the trick) available in single temperature units, multi temperature units and under counter units would at least preserve his extensive cellar.Many feature glass fronts, so he could view his wine without compromising the wine cooler’s efficiency and minimise the running costs too.

Okay so I don’t know what planet I’ve been on, but I can’t understand what these experts are thinking. They want a sales tax on sodas in order to try and battle obesity. Congress wants to set a 1 cent tax on every ounce of soda and sweetened beverages you buy.

This especially rubs me the wrong way and makes me furious. First of all, one cent per ounce is absurd. In any case where I live that means the tax is going to be between 25% and 30% of the cost of my beverage as it is now but that means there will be an even bigger jump if it were implemented. This not only affects soda consumers but also sports and energy drinks.

Personally, but I know many other people that feel the same way, I am really disturbed that experts and the government officials feel it’s their privilege to be my nanny. Let people gulp what they want. Why does government worry about such stupid things instead of stressing about the important things? Frankly the government is a waste of time and capital 80% of the time. Why don’t they focus on things that will actually improve the lives of their citizens?

Now I realize that they are trying to lessen obesity rates, but this is not the way to accomplish that. Soda drinks are part of the customs and lifeblood of America. When people want to just relax, have a barbeque, or watch sports games a can of pop usually goes along with that. If certain individuals decide to be obese, punishing everyone isn’t fair. Instead, obese individuals should work on lowering their weight and moderating their cuisine, but ultimately they have a right to live the way they want. Unfortunately, the more government tries to get involved the more defiant the people are going to get.

In other words the more government tries to stop the sales of these sugary drinks; the more people will purchase them. Just like with liquor, when the government started taking action against it before prohibition, it became a thriving industry and I think that will also happen here.

Plus, how would the government take into account diet drinks and low sugar energy drinks? They can’t blame obesity on diet drinks? So would they still tax it or not? Because if they didn’t that would make some people feel a little bit better, but ultimately that would be a disaster for gas stations and fast food restaurants everywhere. Especially when you go to a restaurant and get no cost refills.

Now that I have presented my arguments and irritation with this, I better just say that if the government does try to ratify this tax I think there will be a general outcry all over the nation. Congressman will be receiving more phone calls, faxes, and letters from their constituents than they have on many previous issues.

I will be one of the first to be calling and writing my representative because this is a matter that the government does not fit in. People have the right to drink what they want and mark my words if this tax is adopted, it won’t be long before they jack up the taxes on alcohol, cookies, chocolate, ice cream, juices, chips, fast food, which comes down to essentially everything. The government will nickel and dime us all in the name of fighting obesity, when that should be an individual issue.

The USA presidential election is conducted every 4 years in November. It uses a scheme of “first-past-the-post” or “winner-takes-all” which has the meaning the candidate who gets the majority of popular votes does not necessarily take the first place ; what is more valuable is getting the majority of electoral votes. In such a system an person might feel that his vote cannot make a difference in the result of the voting and therefore may decide not to vote at all. That is why some scholars trust about 50 per cent of people who are eligible to vote prefer to stay at home and not to show up in the Election Day.

In this article , the theories of voting and non-voting rules in 2004 presidential election are discussed. In other words, we are going to see whether party generalization example or issue voting played an valuable role in individuals’ meanings who voted and if they did not vote, what was the reason behind that?

The United States presidential election of 2004 was between the Republican candidate , George Walker Bush, the President of the United States and the defeated Democratic candidate , John Kerry, the junior United States Senator from Massachusetts.

Bush got about 51 percent of the votes cast (62 million votes), while Kerry got about 48 percent (59 million votes). Bush could get 286 electoral votes and Kerry 251. The make the calculations of the votes.

There was only a slight characteristic features between the towns which elected for Democrats and the ones which voted for Republicans in comparison to the 2000 presidential voting . The diversity is to do with only three towns.

This conclusion is to do with party identification model. That is to say the Southern states generally elected for George W Bush, while the Northern states were on the side of the Democratic candidate , John Kerry. But this is just a mere identification if one says that in the 2004 presidential voting , party generalization model was the most valuable point . Nevertheless, its essence is not questionable.

The most important point in electing rules of the 2004 was about issue electing . In other words, electors paid a lot of attention to the issues that were supported by candidates . Above all people’s consideration was the issue of general safety including terrorism and moral values which was supported by Bush. On the other hand, Kerry’s slogan was “stronger at home, respected in the world.” And he also paid more attention to economic issues like jobs and Medicare . One should keep in mind that the 2004 voting was the first presidential election after Sep. 11, 2001 and very logically if one felt threatened , the best applicants to elect for would be a Republican.

The United States has many election days because there are so many levels of government . Each state has its own picked officials, such as a governor the chief administrative official and state lawmakers , who make the state’s laws. In addition, there are elections of chairmen and other officials for all towns and smaller communities, and still other elections for county officials. (Counties are subdivisions of each state.)

States put their own election period for state and local officials. County and Town Elections take place on a variety of dates. Generally, nevertheless , state officials are elected on a day that was selected by Congress for national elections in the nation’s early years. That day is the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. That rule may seem complicated , but there was a explanation for it. Most Americans at that time lived in small towns and in rural areas. Elections had to be held at a time when the weather was still good in northern states and when the harvest was over so farmers wouldn’t have to care too much about their work. It also had to be on a day of the week that was not a religious Sabbath (Saturday or Sunday). The November Tuesday dominion was the result .

Presidential Voting Day is held every four years in all years dissociable by four. That is the day Americans make their choice for president of the United States. On the same day, voters in all states name their selections for the lower house of Congress, the House of Representatives, and voters in one-third of the states vote for one of two Senators representatives of the upper house that represent each state. Ruling offices and businesses may give electors several hours off to vote, but Election Day is not a federal holiday .

Because participants of the House of Representatives suit two-year terms and one-third of the 100 members of the Senate is chosen every two years for terms lasting six years, congressional elections occur in all states every second year.

By the beginning 20th century newspaper duties had become the new hearts of voting -night activity. Huge gatherings would gather to watch as the latest results were posted on massive outdoor voting boards. Candidates would often address the crowd from a balcony, to the cheers or jeers of those assembled.
