Here’s an article about Obama being tested so far. It’s pretty good. It’s not making any accusations or conclusions. It’s just laying out the tests thus far that Biden promised and how only time will tell if he’s passed the tests or not.

Most of these are lose-lose situations. They’re pretty hard to deal with no matter who you are. But, the problem is that these tests shouldn’t have happened. Many of these tests have occurred because the villains in these cases are not gaw-gaw Europeans in awe of our Celebrity in Chief. They view him as weak and do not respect him. It’s not how many people like and respect Obama that matters. It’s those who don’t that we have to be concerned about.

Obama (Shrouded in Secrecy)
President Elect Obama campaigned on Hope, Change and Openness. So far there has been nothing but Secrecy, his birth certificate is now in question since the one being displayed on the Internet is obviously a Fake. His and/or his new staff members dealings with the Illinois Governor and there are questions surrounding how he paid for Harvard. Lastly, so far, there is also some who are questioning what name he used on the registration form when he attended Columbia University.
Since Obama has refused to allow the state of Hawaii to release his birth certificate, it seems that he has something to hide. There are currently several lawsuits heading toward the Supreme Court to force Obama to prove his citizenship. If that fails, and he does not have to prove where he was born and sometime History reveals that he really wan not a citizen then his presidency would be known as illegitimate and he managed to be the biggest fraud in modern time.
Recently Obama’s campaign release a report spear headed by now Vice President Elect Biden that there is really no connection to the Illinois Governor concerning the sale of the vacated Senate Seat left open by Obama. The liberal Democrats may believe it, but I certainly don’t. Allowing the Obama campaign to investigate itself, so much for Justice.
I am sure some of you believe that I may be one of only a handful who believe that Obama is probably the greatest of imposter of all time. Well…follow the link below.

TAXES (Who really Pays)
This should come as no surprise to anyone, but generally the middle income earners pay the majority of the Federal/State Income taxes. To illustrate where the IRS gets most of its revenue, I will use a simple Bell Curve. Take a piece of paper and with a pencil or pen simply draw the shape of a BELL.
On the left side of the Bell, just outside of the line write “10%”. On the right side of the Bell, just outside the line write “10%”. Inside the Bell diagram write “80%”. The left side of the Bell shows that 10% of the people in the U.S. do not pay any Fed/State taxes because they are either not working or are getting a very small income. The right side of the Bell shows that 10% of working American are what Senator Obama would call Wealthy Americans. The remaining 80%, those inside the Bell are Middle Income wage earners of varying degrees of income. As you can see Middle Income wage earners is where the Democrats go to for more money in the form of a TAX Increase.
For this election Senator Obama/Biden are claiming that they will reduce the Taxes for those who reside inside the Bell and only increase Taxes for those who reside on the right side of the Bell, which by the way include all of America’s huge corporations. This sounds great, but, there are consequences to any Tax Hike of any kind. Lets take a closer look:
I will start by stating a few basic truths about the RICH:
1. The Rich did not get Rich by paying huge sums of money to the Government.
2. Corporations like profits and will NOT see their profits lowered by increased Taxes. Corporations will pass the increase onto the consumers, that means you and me, Middle Americans.
3. The incentive to become Rich is diminished knowing that once you reach the $250,000 or greater mark, the Government will swoop down and take it away as planned by the Senator for Change, Obama
If Senator Obama/Biden win the Presidency the Wealthy Americans will see a Tax Increase and everyone else will get a Tax decrease. Lets follow the money. I will use Corporation “A” as an example, but this also applies to every Small Business Owner in America that qualifies for the Tax Increase.
Corporation A is made up of Employees, Middle Income Americans, and those Americans who have bought Stock in the Company, usually the Wealthier Americans. The revenue from the sale of stock is used by the Corporation for Research and Development, Buying other Companies, etc….
The people who own this stock in Corporation A expect to earn a profit from their investment and the Corporation will do anything it can to provide that profit. So, if Corporation A now has to pay more Taxes, the corporation has to get the money from somewhere and still provide a profit to the shareholders.
Corporation A has several solutions:
1. Lay off Employees and ship the jobs overseas where the labor is cheaper and where there is a more favorable Tax structure. Enjoy that TAX Break while you can, because you may be outsourced to pay for it.
2. Raise the cost of the product that is being sold to the consumer. Maybe this will work since Middle Americans will have that big reduction in their Taxes. At least for those who still have their Jobs.

Biden Doesn't Know What's in his Own Plan
Democrats and the mainstream media have accused Sarah Palin of not know what the “Bush Doctrine” is. Are they now going to attack Joe Biden for not knowing what’s in the Obama-Biden energy plan?
Today in Ohio, when asked about clean coal technology plants in America, Joe Biden responded with "No coal plants here in America," he said. "Build them, if they're going to build them, over there (China). Make them clean. We’re not supporting clean coal," he said of himself and Obama.
Hmmm, Joe Biden doesn’t seem to know what’s in the Obama-Biden energy plan. According to the Obama-Biden energy plan they support "clean coal" technology and want to support financially five coal plants that use carbon capture and sequestration technology.
So, if they want to support five coal plants but they won’t be in America where will they be? More outsourcing? Is the Obama-Biden plan going to ship more jobs out of America or does Joe Biden just not know what he’s talking about?

Joe Biden’s Patriotic Taxes
Joe Biden says it’s patriotic to pay higher taxes. On ABC’s Good Morning America when asked about Obama’s plan to tax the wealthy he said "It's time (for the well-off) to be patriotic." Thus, if citizens don’t pay MORE taxes they’re not patriotic. I’m willing to be less Patriotic if he’d like to be more Patriotic and pay my taxes for me. Wouldn't it be MORE Patriotic for the Congress and Senate to reduce wasteful spending so us Patriots don't HAVE to pay more taxes?
The idea of taxing the wealthy sounds great. It’s the whole Robin Hood (or Obama Hood in this case) idea of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. The Robin Hood story is a good one but it’s just that…a story. We happen to live in the REAL world. In the REAL world the wealthy don’t really pay taxes.
In our REAL world we have Trickle Down economics. Ronald Reagan was right. Everything trickles down from the wealthy to the middle class and on down to the poor. Like it or not, agree with it or not the fact is that the good trickles down and the bad trickles down as well.
If taxes are raised on the wealthy they’ll raise the prices of goods and services the rest of us use. They’ll wrap the new taxes into the cost of doing business and pass that cost on to the rest of us (a.k.a. trickle down). The wealthy own businesses and hire employees. They’ll raise prices and/or reduce staff. While it’s true we non-wealthy citizens will pay fewer taxes we’ll pay more for goods and services. The end result is the non-wealthy will foot the bill and have less money to take care of their family’s while Joe Biden credits the wealthy for being MORE Patriotic than the rest of us.

The Audacity of Bad Judgment
At the Republican Convention Sarah Palin ad libbed a joke in response to audience cheers from Alaska women: "You know what the difference is between a hockey mom and a pit bull?" she asked, pausing perfectly. "Lipstick!" Since then there have been signs at the McCain/Palin rally's along the same lines stating "Read My Lipstick" and so forth with the "lipstick" theme. Sarah Palin, as far as we know, is the only one of the four candidates that wears lipstick on a regular basis (although I have my suspicions about Biden). Thus, the word "lipstick" is hers in this Presidential Campaign.
Yesterday, after commenting on the Republicans policies (or lack thereof), Senator Barack Obama punctuated his comments with the line "You can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig". Granted this is a very old line used to imply that no matter how much you pretty up something it doesn't change what it is. An ugly pig is still a pig and a bad policy is still a bad policy.

Granted this is a very old line used to imply that no matter how much you pretty up something it doesn't change what it is. An ugly pig is still a pig and a bad policy is still a bad policy.
John McCain has used a similar line in the past about wrestling with pigs. When asked about Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean's criticism of him as "a blatant opportunist'' McCain replied that he doesn't want to "go down" to that level and "I think it was Bob Dole, you know, that said you don’t want to get into a wrestling match with a pig, You both get dirty, and the pig likes it.” This was an analogy about sinking to a low level rather than actually calling anyone a name.
Even IF Obama didn't intend to call Sarah Palin a pig was it a good idea to exercise bad judgment and use a line that can be construed as if he was calling Sarah Palin a pig? Even IF McCain was calling Howard Dean a "pig" is it a good idea to sink to the same low level and call the most popular Governor in the United States a "pig"? Is sinking to lower levels going to get us the change we need in Washington?
Awhile back Barack Obama convinced many people that while he lacked experience he would make up for it with good judgment. I try to pick out the rare things he says that I agree with in an attempt to accept him as our President should he win in November but then he goes and does silly childish things like this. When is this "good judgment" going to kick in? It seems he also has a lack of experience with GOOD judgment as well.

Dem Ticket Upside Down
The Presidential tickets seem to be upside down. Joe Biden is missing and Barack Obama is playing the Vice Presidential attack dog role by calling Sarah Palin a liar. Why is the Presidential candidate of one party calling the others Vice Presidential choice a liar? Where's Joey Biden? Attacking the other candidates is the Vice Presidential candidates role. John McCain is a little quieter recently too. It seems this election is suddenly Barack Obama versus Sarah Palin and both are acting like Vice Presidential candidates. Except only one of them truly is a Vice Presidential candidate.

Senator Joe Biden (The Man who wants to be King)
Senator Barack Obama has now officially named Senator Biden as his running mate as Vice President. Normally the Vice President is quickly forgotten shortly after the Convention and then re-emerges for the one and only debate with the Vice President of the opposing party. Usually, the Presidential Candidate is the main focus, as it should be, until one is elected.
The presidential candidate should be strong enough to stand on their own and are typically present and/or former Governors. Ronald Regan was a two term Governor of California, Bill Clinton was a former Governor of Arkansas and so on. These men had the experience in dealing with both dominate parties to get a bill to pass, they learned how to deal with the various branches of their respective state’s government and what it takes to put a budget together and get it passed. Senator Obama is a junior Senator from Illinois who has never been in a position that provided him with any experience on how to govern a state much less than an entire nation. To add to his short resume, Mr.Obama knows nothing about Foreign Affairs, hence,, in comes Senator Joe Biden with his thirty plus years in the Senate and most recently as chairman of the very powerful “Foreign Relation Committee”.
So, the real question is: why would Mr. Biden give up his chairmanship to be Vice President?? To answer this one only has to look at the man himself. He has run several times for president, most recently here in 2008, but was rejected by the voters very early in the Primaries. Senator Biden is now 65 years old, which would make him 69 in 2012 and 73 in 2016. Basically, this year was his last shot for the number one position. As the major duty of the Vice President is to take over as President if something should happen to the residing President Senator Biden is vastly more qualified to be President than Senator Obama. Mr. Biden is old enough to be Mr. Obama’s father and is a very ambitious man who wants to be KING. Mr Biden would not give up his powerful chair seat on the ’Foreign Relations Committee’ unless there is something in it for him.
The Democrats have realized that Senator Obama does not have the skill set to be President and have therefore chosen Mr. Biden to be a Co-President. For the Man who wants to be KING, this is as close as Senator Biden will ever get to the Presidency.
This is the first election since I was old enough to vote that I believe that the selection of the Vice President is very important and may have a huge impact on determining which party will win the White House. Senator Barack Obama and the Democratic Party have chosen poorly. Senator Obama should have chosen a current or former Governor around his own age, like Senator Bayh.
Senator McCain needs to choose a current or former Governor who has a great understanding of economics and is much younger than he is, like Mr. Mitt Romney
As for the Man who wants to be KING, Senator Biden will certainly overshadow Senator Obama all the way through to November.

Obama Biden Laden
Is Joseph Robinette Biden really the best pick for Vice President? I thought Mr. Barack Hussein Obama promised us CHANGE from typical Washington politics. Mr. Biden has been in Washington D.C. since his first election to the Senate in 1972. In 1972 John Sidney McCain III was still in a P.O.W. camp in Vietnam. Mr. McCain was elected to Congress in 1982 and after two terms was elected to the Senate in 1986. Thus, Mr. Biden has been in Washington D.C. 10 years LONGER than John McCain.
What happened to youth? Where’s this youthful energetic White House with fresh ideas we’re supposed to get? Mr. Biden is currently 65 and will turn 66 shortly after Election Day. He’s older than Hillary Clinton (60), John Edwards (55), Bill Richardson (60), Mitt Romney (61), Mike Huckabee (53) and well, just about everyone except John McCain who just turned 72.
What about health? A lot is made about John McCain’s health. Nothing has ever come of it. He’s a very healthy man especially with all he’s been through in his life. Joe Biden suffered two brain aneurysms in 1988. What other or continuing health concerns does he have that we don’t know about yet?
What about qualifications? Joe Biden is clearly more qualified to be President than Obama. Just like how Lyndon Baines Johnson was more qualified than John Fitzgerald Kennedy. If Obama is still trying to recreate the Kennedy years has he forgotten what happened to JFK?
What about perception? Did nobody notice that their names together, “Obama Biden” look eerily similar to “Osama Bin Laden”? Like it or not perception is part of the game. That’s why Obama keeps trying to make McCain look like an bumbling old man and McCain tries to make Obama look like an unqualified elitist. Perception can be more dangerous than reality.

So, where are we? The age issue is out the window because Biden is not much younger than McCain. The Washington insider issue is out the window because Biden has been there 10 years longer than McCain. Thus, CHANGE is now out the window. If we don’t have change then what do we have left? Hope?
