Serious Doubts Over Obama & Democrats' Left-Wing Policies; Americas' Moving Right; After the Virginia, New Jersey & Maine Elections:
By Marc Chamot

Unhappy Independents once again were the swing voters in this election, the ones that helped Obama, turned against him, and gave New Jersey and Virginia to Republicans.

These elections were pivotal in the gauging the mood of the country, especially for Independent voters like me, but there’s no question about it; my fellow Independents were instrumental in dealing President Obama and his Democratic cohorts a big blow on their egos, like in VOTES of NO confidence, on how this country is being run and managed be these con-men.

When President Obama ran against John McCain, I can’t really blame my fellow Independents who voted for Obama. They took a gamble and made him president, but unfortunately they never realized what they put into the White House, a left-wing agenda driven zealot.

During the nine months that Obama was president, he and the Democrats like Nancy Pelosi, they were all warned, they should have gotten the message when they saw the Tea Parties, when they saw it on the blogs, and when they also saw those summer heated town halls meetings, but they chose to ignore all of those screaming and angry Americans.

President Obama began on a high note, when healthcare began, then there were his oppositions to opposing voices in opinions, he first wanted to go after Internet bloggers with his flag.whitehouse.com, and then he went after Fox News.

What we’re all telling them, is that we don’t want undocumented aliens getting free healthcare, we don’t want transgender to get taxpayer financed sex changes, and we don’t want to finance abortions, SO why is all of that still coming out in the Democrats’ version of the healthcare bill? Are you Democrats so immersed into your own stupidity to listen to what WE’RE TELLING YOU? Of course you are and that’s why you’re losing.

WE don’t want higher TAXES; we don’t want to get into any more debts for your exorbitant programs, look at broken California, and we don’t like your leftists, and socialist agendas interfering with our free market systems and our freedoms.

We don’t want czars in our government, especially known Maoists, and we’re not a ROYAL family nation nor we’re a communist country; we’re the land of the Free, the United States of America. We definitely don’t want Cap and Trade, when it is now known to decimate even more American industries and jobs.

In essence of it all, it is in my estimation, that President Obama’s and Democrat’s poll numbers are far lower than what they are being portrayed by the media. It’s without a doubt; Independents have made an exodus from the Obama dance shows, and turned his administration into harsh realities of what governing is all about.

We were once fooled by former George Bush and his Republicans for six years, and we’re not going to be fooled again by another lying party, especially by those who are doing the exact same things that they gripped about, under the previous administration.

I have told my readers two years ago, on these blogs here, back when candidate Obama entered the presidential race, moving this country to the left too much, wasn’t a good idea. After years of George Bush’s right, and with his bad policies under Republicans, it would stir deeper anger, rejections and more backlash for this country, especially in a slumping economy and when people are losing jobs everyday.

Obama and the Democrats made a whole lot of promises, but unfortunately they haven’t kept any of them.

All Americans are seeing now days from this administration and Democrats, are the constant pandering to minority groups, homosexuals, and illegal aliens, to special interests groups and lobbyists. And we’re getting fed up.

But the Democrats, just like the Republicans before them, if they think that we, the American VOTERS can sit by, and let them trash this nation to shreds, they’ve got something else coming.

We’re all going after these useless and corrupt politicians in Washington, Democrats and Republicans alike, if they don’t take care of us, (Americans) right now, they will be gone soon. And just as the ever corrupt Jon Corzine, who went along with millions of dollars into his campaign and with President Obama, who wasn’t able to help him any with the election’s outcome.

Most left-wing liberal politicians like Nancy Pelosi are secure in their posts, because of loony left San Francisco voters and others, but Blue Dog Democrats beware, you’ll be “dog pounded,” you’re wide OPEN SEASON for defeat in 2010, especially if you keep up with the Obama’s left-wing agendas.

Another big example as to why Americans are getting fed-up with their politicians is Maine.

Their legislature and their Democrat governor had legalized same sex marriages. Regardless as to what the majority in the state thought about it. It was done without their consent and VOTER’S approvals, it was done kind of like, “SCREW-YOU,” in your face kind of stuff, and that is the attitude that we're going to change in our politics.

But the people in Maine woke up and overturned their same sex marriage laws by 53%.

Maine voters overturn legal same-sex marriage
"Voters in Maine repealed a state law legalizing same sex marriage, which backers of the measure said shows "voters don't want to change what you call marriage." Advocates of same-sex marriage refused to concede defeat early Wednesday after supporters declared victory.

Nearly 53 percent of voters backed the referendum of a law the state legislature approved in May and the governor signed.

"Voters have a pretty good grasp about what they think marriage should be," said Jeff Flint, the Sacramento strategist for the Yes on 1 campaign. "It's not that they're discriminatory or bigoted. They just draw the line at what they think marriage should be."

Same sex marriages are okay for Europeans and other very liberal countries, but not in mine.

I am VERY proud of my fellow Independents, they definitely voted right this time. And for those Maine VOTERS who overturned their same sex marriages? I am very proud of you guys too. Hopefully we can take the fight into Massachusetts, Iowa and other places that legalize homosexual marriages, and terminate this idiocy once and for all.

Republicans win Virginia, New Jersey governorships
"Republicans rolled to victory in governor's races in Virginia and New Jersey on Tuesday in a sharp blow to Democrats that showed the limits of U.S. President Barack Obama's influence.

After suffering a one-two punch in those two states, Democrats were trying to salvage a victory over a conservative candidate in a congressional district in upstate New York.

The election outcome in Virginia and New Jersey could offer clues on the mood of America a year after Obama was elected president and a year before 2010 congressional elections that will represent the first clear referendum on Obama's time in office.

While the votes may not have been a referendum on Obama himself, voters clearly expressed concern about the direction of the U.S. economy, which suffers from a 9.8 percent jobless rate the president has been unable to reduce.

Bob McDonnell scored an easy victory over Democrat Creigh Deeds in Virginia. In New Jersey, Republican Chris Christie had a tougher time with incumbent Democratic Governor Jon Corzine but prevailed.

The outcome suggests Democrats have a challenge in trying to attract voters to the polls without Obama's name on the ticket as they prepare to defend their strong majorities in the House of Representatives and the Senate in 2010.

A year ago, Obama became the first Democratic presidential nominee to win Virginia since 1964. Obama campaigned twice for Deeds but Democrats were unable to muster a large turnout the way they did a year ago.

Republicans had not won a statewide race in New Jersey since 1997. Obama won the state by 16 percentage points and traveled there to campaign for Corzine three times.

U.S. television networks projected Christie had scored a narrow victory over Corzine, a former Wall Street executive who pumped $23 million of his own money into the campaign.

The president was described by the White House as not watching the election returns, and spokesman Robert Gibbs earlier dismissed the potential impact of the governors' races on Democrats and the 2010 elections.

"I don't believe that local elections in New Jersey and Virginia portend a lot about legislative success or political success in the future," he said.

But the Republican Party was eager to blame the policies of Obama and the Democrats.
"Tonight voters sent a warning shot to Democrats and the White House they are tired of the spending, tired of the waste, and tired of the over-reach they see coming out of Washington," said Eric Cantor, the No. 2 Republican in the U.S. House.

ABC News said majorities of voters in both Virginia and New Jersey approved of Obama's handling of his job -- 51 percent in Virginia and 57 percent in New Jersey.

But it said 90 percent in New Jersey and 85 percent in Virginia said they were worried about the direction of the nation's economy in the next year.

Democratic strategist Bud Jackson said the long night for Democrats could be seen as an indication of impatience with Obama.

"A lot of these people who voted for Obama last year, they voted for the hope. Well, hope hasn't had time to meet reality so there are a lot of independent voters who aren't completely sold on Obama yet and they won't be until they start seeing some results," he said.

In Maine, a "citizen's veto" is on the ballot to overturn a May 2009 law allowing same-sex marriage. If the law is upheld, Maine would become the sixth U.S. state to allow gay marriage, but the first to approve such a law at the ballot box -- a potential turning point for gay rights after a stinging 2008 defeat in California."

Obama Says 'bold innovative action' to create jobs; focusing on increasing U.S. exports, expanding green technology and rebuilding our infrastructures

Obama Says 'bold innovative action' to create jobs; focusing on increasing U.S. exports, expanding green technology and rebuilding our infrastructures
By Marc Chamot & Source LA Times

President Obama is now talking TOUGH about job creations, but there are two BIG problems, they are too costly to realize and they will kill more jobs, instead of creating new ones.

President Obama called for "bold innovative action" to create jobs by government and businesses to reverse these continued job losses. "We all know that in every economic recovery there is going to be a lag between the economy growing again, businesses investing again, and businesses hiring again," Obama told the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board when they all convened. Because of severity of massive job losses, he said, this country needs "some bold, innovative action on our part and on Congress' part and on the private sector's part."

While convening in a meeting with his economic advisory board, Obama called for a focus on three areas: increasing U.S. exports, expanding green technology and rebuilding our infrastructures. "We all know that in every economic recovery there is going to be a lag between the economy growing again, businesses investing again, and businesses hiring again," Obama told the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board.

But given the severity of the job losses, he said, the country needs "some bold, innovative action on our part and on Congress' part and on the private sector's part."At the board's second full meeting, Obama said in his opening remarks that, after getting the economy "back from the brink," the nation now must figure out how "to make sure the people are getting back to work and able to support their families.""It's not going to happen overnight, but we are not going to rest until we are succeeding in generating the jobs this economy needs," he said at the White House meeting, which was streamed live online on the White House website.

All of this coming after this White House has been in denials about the true figures of the actual unemployed see: The BIG lie: Obama White House, but WHY? “In an age of 24/7 news, it’s getting harder and harder to see White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, trot out each morning to give the obviously distorted statistics for our nation’s unemployment numbers. With dozens of talk shows airing daily, so-called “employment experts” popping up on radio and TV hourly, WHY waste the American public’s time and intelligence suggesting numbers that border on ridiculous, if not fantasy.

It is a well known fact by virtually all credible economists that the jobless rate is 4-5 points higher than the White House numbers. And the question becomes WHY say what isn’t TRUE?Do the president’s advisors really believe in an era of news overkill that Americans (who have only look at their relatives and neighbors for examples), believe this tripe?

When asked about unemployment, she made the statement that the Obama Administration “had gotten a handle on the problem” and that the new numbers showed a “drop to 9.8% in THEIR most recent poll” In stating this erroneous “fact”, she implied that the recession was over or coming to a close.Nowhere can it be found in any credible news source that the unemployment rate is 9.8% and she had to know it.

Yet, there she was on a national news show stating that as fact!The truth of the matter is, “Unemployment is at its highest level since 1994” according to economist Sylvia Allegretto of the Institute of Research on Labor and Employment at UC BERKELEY (prone to be on the president’s side I would imagine).

“All the data tells us that this is the worst economic downturn since World War Two”, says Paul Wessen, economist with California’s Employment Development Department.So why all the lying? Or to be more polite, “truth twisting”?”

While it’s great that our president has finally come to his realization that we’re losing jobs, his programs and ideas unfortunately, don’t create more jobs, we will lose them instead.

The only proposal that I may agree with, is his exports proposals, but that means coming back to what I’ve been saying all along in my blogs, getting tougher with China and other trading partners who have unfair tariffs and unbalanced trades with us. There is no doubt that China who has benefitted tremendously over the plight of American workers for the past decade is the BIGGEST violator of our trade agreements.

But does President Obama have any more guts to keep going further against China, other than increasing the mere tire tariffs which he did a couple months ago?

Then his other two ideas, expanding green technologies and rebuilding our decaying infrastructures are virtually impossible to realize, and first they are too cost prohibitive in a time when this country is going broke.

Now again, our president is talking about MONEY, putting more money that we don’t have into the problem, to half hazard patch up a problem: From Cody Enterprise: "In true liberal spirit, Obama preaches about “big government” that dishes out money to solve every problem, along with his desire for “redistribution of wealth.”There are stimulus packages - which he calls “investments,” but he really means “additional debt” - and bailouts.On his watch, the federal budget deficit has tripled to a record $1.4 trillion. And how does health care legislation that could cost $900 billion during the next decade, sound?”

President Obama convened with some economical brain trusts, like former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, and includes administration officials such as Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner, economists and business and labor leaders.

It’s absolutely absurd talking about spending more money. Especially when we know what the root of the problems are. President Obama’s naiveté’s are showing, he’s still in that dream job, being president of the United States, and he’s still stuck with those dreams that he can’t seem to wake up from.

Besides the China trade and industry ordeals, then we’ve got too many immigrants in this country, legal or illegal, that this government can’t seem to do anything about. More H1B and H2B visas, illegal visas overstay, and illegal immigration, it’s ESTIMATED that they are holding on to over 8 million jobs that Americans could be doing right now. But this subject isn’t being brought up by this president at all.

Then President Obama wants to bring Cap and Trade into the green technology when the Heritage Foundation found that this would eliminate ANOTHER 1.15 million American jobs, and our economy will be $9.4 trillion dollars poorer by 2035, and NEVER MIND about creating new jobs. See James Jay Carafano: “The House passed a cap-and-trade bill earlier this year. But the measure has become increasingly controversial as the economic consequences of the legislation have become more apparent.

A study by The Heritage Foundation’s Center for Data Analysis finds that the law would make the U.S. about $9.4 trillion poorer by 2035.

Much of this decline would be from reduced economic productivity and job loss. Despite all the talk about “green jobs” galore, Heritage found the bill would actually retard net employment by 1.15 million jobs.

To distract Americans from the economic catastrophe the bill would cause, proponents have turned to arguing that passing the bill is an imperative for national security. The reality, however, is it is too difficult to predict over the long term how the interactions between humans and the environment will turn out.
But here is what we do know.

In the short term, the negative economic effects of the bill will create a “21st century crisis.” A collapse in U.S. economic growth would result in even more draconian cuts to the defense budget, leaving America with a military much less prepared to deal with future threats. Indeed, if America’s military power declines, there would probably be more wars, not fewer.

Likewise, a steep drop in American economic growth would lengthen and deepen the global recession. That in turn will make other states poorer, undermining their ability to protect themselves and recover from natural disasters. Now that is something to worry about.”

President Obama is definitely “barking up the wrong tree” on jobs creations, and I don’t think this president and his Democratic cohorts in congress really know what the heck they are doing. But we Americans do, and we will show him and this corrupt congress what governing is all about at the polls.

Analyzing Cable News Networks Ratings: CNN in the Gutters & Obama Vs Top Rated Fox News; Big-Big Trouble Ahead for the president & Democrats:

Analyzing Cable News Networks Ratings: CNN in the Gutters & Obama Vs Top Rated Fox News; Big-Big Trouble Ahead for the president & Democrats:
By Marc Chamot

The truth is, people aren’t sure about their new president that they have just elected, so they are going to Fox News and other conservative news sources in droves, leaving CNN and other biased liberal Medias in the dust.

This spells big trouble for President Obama and the Democrats. That is why President Obama’s White House blasted, and began a short lived war against Fox News. It was a sign of desperation. And the new cable news network ratings show that.

A new survey of American voters puts healthcare at 17 percent, as the third most important thing for President Obama and the Democrats to take care of. The economy and JOBS is number one, with 41 percent of the voters. The Afghanistan/Iraq war came second at 18 and 17 percent.

Obviously the president’s and these congressional Democrats’ priorities are totally wrong. This is yet another reason as to why Americans are not being heard, or just plainly ignored and that’s why they are turning away.

Fox News has the combined total viewerships of CNN, MSNBC, and others PLUS a whole lot more to spare.

For as long as this president and Democrats’ keep pushing for costly agendas, refusing to address jobs losses, the economy, and the deficit, the war with Afghanistan, and keeping Wall Street under control, people will go to Fox News and other conservative mediums to get the truths.

For that reason President Obama’s popularity and job approval ratings are going down.

Most Americans are seeing Obama as just another politician, one whose promises don’t amounts to squat, quite partisan, left wing driven, and a special interests type of politician, look at the banks and the Wall Street bailouts.

Moderates and Independent voters who fled Obama this past summer, are staying away, and most are not expecting the rebirths of hope and change, because there won’t be any. Like most of us, we’re just hoping to survive the most extreme leftist president that we have ever had in American history.

This president is putting so much energy into healthcare, when it should be done for the economy and jobs recoveries. He’s also standing by letting Afghanistan fall to pieces; where we have lost more soldiers recently, because of his inability to make tough decisions for sending more troops, to crush once and for all the Bin Laden and his terrorists’ thugs.

His priorities are all out of whack, for the proper way in running and maintaining a strong and successful nation. It’s not only at the polls that are showing President Obama’s troubles, it’s in the cable news network media too.

Take CNN, the network who went gangbusters for the then presidential candidate Barack Obama. During the debates, and on election nights during the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination runs, they were breaking viewership records. It looked like a rebirth for CNN; they figured if Obama became president and did well, they would reap off his fortunes.

It was a time when Republicans were unpopular and former President George Bush was despised. Everything looked good for both Barack Obama and CNN, they had a man who was promising change and hope for all Americans, this guy would bring them viewers, and they went hook line and sinker for Obama.

But unfortunately something went wrong with their idea and logic of their plan. It wasn’t CNN’s fault entirely; it was more President Obama’s fault. He wasn’t delivering as president as what most people thought.

Actually, President Obama brought about more suspicion and mistrust on his real abilities to run and manage this nation properly. Throughout my years, I Have never seen Americans so wound up over a leftist president like Obama before. And it’s showing on cable news network ratings.

CNN is down in the gutters, while CNN’s former loony left moved on to MSNBC, and their former Independents and moderates moved on to Fox News. It basically enforces the polls, as to what they’ve been saying about Obama and the Democrats all along.

Polar Opposites: Fox News Seeing Best Ratings, CNN and MSNBC Worst
We’ve written a lot about Fox News’ ratings. Here’s the deal – they’re on pace for their best year of all time in total viewers during prime time and total day.

CNN and MSNBC, on the other hand, are headed the opposite direction. Here’s a look at the ratings from October, which officially came to an end yesterday.

In every category – total day and prime time, A25-54 demographic and total viewers, October has shaped up to be the worst month of 2009 for both CNN and MSNBC. But when comparing the networks, it looks worse for CNN, which, as reported by the New York Timestoday, dropped to fourth on cable news, even behind sister network HLN, in prime time demo.

A CNN spokesperson tells Mediaite:
We couldn’t be more pleased that both our networks (CNN and HLN) are now topping MSNBC in total day and that CNN.com leads all TV news competitors on the web. As we have said for years, we measure our audience across all CNN Worldwide platforms and throughout the day, not just primetime. CNN provides quality journalism and our ratings reflect the news environment more than opinion programming does – especially in primetime.

There’s no dispute that CNN has a broad range of outlets to measure its audience. It has a vibrant international network, a prime web destination and much more (there’s an actual airport network as well). But – and this is important – the ratings drops on CNN during prime time are notably dramatic, and as HLN increases viewership there could be rumblings for a shake up.
Every CNN program is down more than 50% year-to-year in total viewers and the demo, butAnderson Cooper’s 10pmET hour is down 72% and 79%. The top program right now, Larry King’s 9pmET hour, is just the 16th best cable news program for October in total viewers, and 17th in the demo (More on that below).

CNN can say they measure their audience ‘across all platforms’, but lagging A25-54 demo numbers is a bad sign. As Daily Finance notes, although every cabler did well in October 2008 due to the election, CNN is down the most year-to-year in the category. Back in April 2008, for example, CNN President Jon Klein told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, “That’s the demographic that advertisers are buying.”

Meanwhile with MSNBC, the cable network is stuck in 4th place in total day in both total viewers and the demo. HLN moves up to #2 in the demo, while CNN is #2 in total viewers. While its opinion programming in prime time has succeeded, the new line-up during the day is not nearly as successful.

Below is the program ranker for October. Fox News had the top 11 programs in the demo and the top 13 programs, again, in total viewers. Some other notes:

• The Nancy Grace repeat on HLN and Keith Olbermann repeat on MSNBC topped Anderson Cooper’s live 10pmET show in the demo.• CNN’s late afternoon Situation Room performed better than both Cooper’s 10pmET hour andCampbell Brown’s 8pmET hour.• Fox News’ 3amET show Red Eye once again beat CNN’s 8pmET show Campbell Brown in the demo.

CNN Drops to Last Place Among Cable News Networks
CNN, which invented the cable news network more than two decades ago, will hit a new competitive low with its prime-time programs in October, finishing fourth – and last – among the cable news networks with the audience that all the networks rely on for their advertising.
The official monthly numbers will be finalized at 4 p.m. Monday and will include results from Friday. CNN executives conceded that will not change the competitive standing for the month. CNN will still be last in prime time.

That means CNN’s programs were behind not only Fox News and MSNBC, but even its own sister network HLN (formerly Headline News.) Three of its four shows between 7 and 11 p.m. finished fourth and last among the cable news networks. That was the first time CNN had finished that poorly with its prime-time shows.

The results demonstrate once more the apparent preference of viewers for opinion-oriented shows from the news networks in prime time.

CNN has steered opinion hosts like Nancy Grace to HLN, while maintaining more news-oriented shows on CNN itself. When news events are not being intensely followed, CNN executives acknowledge, viewers seem to be looking for partisan views more than objective coverage.
Individually, the CNN shows were beaten resoundingly by all the Fox News programs, but also lost to all of the MSNBC programs, including a repeat of Keith Olbermann’s 8 p.m. edition of “Countdown,” which beat the 10 p.m. hour of CNN’s signature prime-time program, “Anderson Cooper 360.”Again that was a first.

Mr. Cooper had 211,000 viewers to 223,000 for Mr. Olbermann’s repeat. That meant Mr. Cooper finished fourth and last in the 10 p.m. hour because, besides being well behind the leader, Greta Van Susteren, who had 538,000 viewers, he was also beaten by a repeat of Nancy Grace’s 8 p.m. show on HLN, which averaged 222,000.

For the month, CNN averaged 202,000 viewers between the ages of 25 and 54 – the group that television news organizations use as their basis of success because of their advertising sales. That was far behind the dominant leader, Fox News, which averaged 689,000. But it also trailed MSNBC, which had 250,000 viewers in that group and HLN, which had 221,000.

The only CNN show from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. that did not finish last was Larry King, which was third, ahead of the new Joy Behar show on HLN. But Sean Hannity’s show on Fox News had a huge lead with 659,000 viewers in that age group. Second was Rachel Maddow on MSNBC with 242,000.Mr. King averaged 224,000 and Ms. Behar 181,000.

At 7 p.m. CNN’s host, Lou Dobbs was fourth, barely beaten by Jane Velez Mitchell on HLN, 166,000 to 162,000. The big winner was Shepard Smith on Fox with 465,000 viewers. Second was Chris Matthews and “Hardball” on MSNBC, with 179,000 viewers.

CNN’s performance was worst in the 8 p.m. hour. Bill O’Reilly on Fox News continued his long dominance with the biggest numbers of any host, 881,000 viewers. Mr. Olbermann, with his first-run program, was second with 295,000. Close behind was the first edition of Ms. Grace’s show with 269,000. Campbell Brown on CNN trailed with only 162,000.

CNN executives emphasized that the network continues to draw more viewers than all its competitors except Fox News when all hours of the day are counted.

CNN released a statement Monday saying, “CNN’s ratings are always going to be more dependent on the news environment, much more so than opinion-based programming especially in prime time.”

No Solutions; True Toll of Jobless rate is bleaker & Millions of Jobs Could Be Lost For Ever:

No Solutions; True Toll of Jobless rate is bleaker & Millions of Jobs Could Be Lost For Ever:
By Marc Chamot

Fierce urgency is for jobs, nothing else. President Obama’s famous speech phrase and words “we’ve got a fierce urgency for…,” unfortunately it’s for everything else but jobs.

But that may change soon, because the alarm bells are ringing in the White House and congress. With a mindboggling $1.4 Trillion dollars deficit this year, Democrats have used up their markers for any more stimuli to help bring about job recoveries.

They (Democrats), will have to find other draconian solutions to create new jobs, and to keep American wealth from hemorrhaging abroad, they must figure out how to keep our wealth in this country, or otherwise suffer a huge defeat in 2012.

Over eight million jobs were lost nationwide since the recession began two years ago. This is considered the worst job market since the Great Depression. The average workers have been out of work for 6 1/2 months, average job openings have five applicants or more.

Now some expert analysts are saying that it will take up to seven years and more, of solid growth to get the jobs back to where they were before the downturn. They also say that millions of jobs that were lost will never come back.

Economists are puzzled as to why job growth has declined, “the answer is we don’t know,” says a liberal economist with the Upjohn Institute for employment Research in Michigan.

But Americans know why, and they do not share President Obama and these Democrats congress’ views about any urgency, other than getting people back to work. And these politicians are ignoring people’s pleas so much, to the degree that the president’s and congress’ job approval ratings are dropping further down.

Take for example Democrat Senator Majority Leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, new polls showing that he may not be re-elected next term. Harry Reid Trails Republican Challengers in 2010 Election “In what is currently a difficult political climate for Democrats, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid trails two potential Republican challengers seeking to unseat him as he faces reelection next year in Nevada.

The first Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of the 2010 race shows Sue Lowden beating Reid by 10 percentage points, 50% to 40%. Lowden is chairwoman of the Nevada Republican Party and the preferred candidate of the Republican party establishment.

GOP hopeful Danny Tarkanian beats Reid by seven points, 50% to 43%. Tarkanian is a former basketball player for the University of Nevada-Las Vegas and the son of a legendary college basketball coach.”

This is the price politicians in the future, Democrats and Republicans will have to pay for. If Washington Democrats in congress haven’t learned from six years of Republicans mistakes, then they will never learn either.

And whether these stubborn politicians know it, or don’t and whether they like it or not, throngs of angry Americans, the American people are taking back their country. It’s happening, it’s going to happen and the bloody 2010 backlash is coming around the corner.

Even Independent candidates are becoming more favorable with voters all over. With Democrat’s fast collapsing popularity, Republicans and independents are making a rebound for the upcoming state governor’s races and for the 2012 U.S. congress and senate races around the country.

But there is more to the grim tales of the unemployment picture than what the government is reporting or wants to report. The true toll of the jobless is much higher than their unemployment figures show. They are not showing the underemployed, folks who work part time and those who are out of the unemployment benefits program.

For example in California, the underemployment rate just hit 21.9 percent in September. Those are millions more Americans out of the economic spending opportunities for consumer goods and retailers. “Underemployment is at its highest levels since 1994, when these records first began to be kept,” says Sylvia Allegretto of the institute for Research on Labor and Employment at U.C. Berkeley.

China is the biggest obstacle for American recovery, not only we’ve got a huge trade imbalance with that country, and almost all of our factories and industries’ have been moving there for the past eight years; they are also artificially inflating their own money to kill the U.S. dollar.

We are exporting billions of our dollars for foreign oil, when we could be drilling, producing our own and keeping all of this money here.

And there is still that inherent bad habit from congress and this president to keep importing cheaper foreign workers, and allowing undocumented aliens to work at the expense of unemployed Americans.

Then we’ve got the government’s love affairs with Wall Street and the banks, where the bulk of the stimulus moneys have been going to, and nothing has come about helping the regular Jane’s and Joes of America.

Those are big topics that this president and this congress’ Democrats don’t have the real “cojones” to tackle and deal with. It will be their ultimate defeat for their failure to deal with our problems personally.

U.S. Sting on Mexican Drug Cartels; Covered-Up by Mainstreams Media and Washington Politicians, Because Arrestees were Criminals Illegal Aliens:

U.S. Sting on Mexican Drug Cartels which Lead to over 300 Arrests; Covered-Up by Mainstreams Media and Washington Politicians, Most Arrestees were Criminals Illegal Aliens:
By Marc Chamot

"BIG Fallout for having an unsecured border."

About five days ago, we just had the largest sting and drug bust of Mexican drug dealers in America's history, and once again this went unnoticed by most of the national mainstream mediums, the Barack Obama White House, and congress, because of the leftist and pro-open border supporters of illegal aliens.

As soon as “criminal illegal aliens” were known to be the members of “La Familia,” Mexico’s most dangerous and violent drug cartel, they were the majority of those arrested for dealing drugs in some of America’s biggest cities. The Media and Washington politicians went into a silent mode.

Not only that, some of these criminal illegal aliens were armed to the teeth.

This is shameful, and this is why the mainstream media is being overtaken by the Internet. Folks don’t trust the media and their politicians to give truthful accounts on everything that goes on in this country anymore.

It’s the normal M.O. of these leftists and pro-open border supporters of illegal aliens, they want to cover up any adverse publicity that will hurt their causes to achieve amnesty and other pro-illegal alien’s perks.

They tried to silence the story, because this story proves and shows that Washington politicians have totally FAILED in enforcing our southern borders and PROTECTING AMERICANS from Mexican criminal elements and their drug cartels.

Largest U.S. sting on drug cartel leads to more than 300 arrests
OKLAHOMA CITY An upstart Mexican drug operation whose tentacles extend from coast to coast and deep into America’s heartland was the target of a massive federal strike this week that netted the arrests of more than 300 people.

Dozens of raids in 19 states, including Missouri, sought to cripple La Familia, which has emerged as the biggest supplier of methamphetamine to the United States and, increasingly, a peddler of cocaine, marijuana and other drugs.

Perhaps more than any other cartel, La Familia projects a Robin Hood image. The Drug Enforcement Administration said the group is “philosophically opposed to the sale of methamphetamine to Mexicans, and instead supports its export to the United States for consumption by Americans.”

Mexican police say the gang uses religion and family morals to recruit. Gang members have hung banners in towns saying they do not tolerate drug use, or attacks on women or children.

One of the gang’s alleged recruiters, detained last spring, ran drug rehabilitation centers, helping addicts recover and then forcing them to work for the gang or be killed, according to Mexico Public Safety Secretary Genaro Garcia Luna.

La Familia is rarely mentioned in the same breath as the handful of other Mexican gangs that control the flow of drugs into the United States, fueled by Colombian cocaine suppliers. The Sinaloa, Juarez, Gulf and Tijuana cartels have roots that go back many years, even decades.
But La Familia is known as unusually violent, even by Mexico’s standards.

After the arrest of one of its leaders in July in Mexico, the cartel launched an offensive against federal forces, killing 18 police officers and two soldiers over a weekend. In the worst attack, 12 federal agents were slain and their tortured bodies piled along a roadside as a warning for all to see.

“They are one of the most violent, if not the most violent, cartel in Mexico right now,” said Michael Braun, who retired as the DEA’s chief of operations last year.

La Familia operates methamphetamine “superlabs” in Mexico that produce up to 100 pounds of the drug in eight hours, a sharp contrast to small-time labs in the United States that have supplied American addicts, Braun said.

The organization was founded in 2004 and really took off in 2006, Braun said.

“The sheer level and depravity of violence that this cartel has exhibited far exceeds what we unfortunately have become accustomed to from other cartels, (and) the toxic reach of its operations extends to nearly every state within our own country,” Attorney General Eric Holder said at a news conference.

But Holder and other officials also conceded that like a handful of other cartels, La Familia has become too powerful, too entrenched within the political and economic fabric of Mexico — and too popular with Mexico’s citizens — for the arrests to deal the cartel a death blow.

Senior drug officials said Mexico was cooperating but that La Familia’s leaders were too well-insulated to go after, protected not only by their own private army but also by corrupt police and politicians.

“It’s a full-blown military operation to go in and get them,” said one, speaking on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of U.S.-Mexico counternarcotics relations.

A Mexican counternarcotics official agreed, saying his country has thrown thousands of troops and police at La Familia.

“They rarely spend two or three nights in the same place, and when they do, they live in these very fortified compounds,” said the official, who also spoke on the condition of anonymity. “It is even more difficult for us because they buy not only information but they buy protection from the very guys that are supposed to get them.”

The arrests were made Wednesday and Thursday in 38 cities, with major distribution rings the focus in Dallas, Atlanta and Seattle. No raids were conducted in the Kansas City area.

None of those arrested in the United States was a major figure in the upper echelons of the organization, law enforcement officials said. But authorities said the sheer number of arrests would seriously disrupt the cartel’s distribution system.

In addition, Holder said, the authorities have seized more than $32 million in U.S. currency, 2,700 pounds of methamphetamine, 4,400 pounds of cocaine, 16,000 pounds of marijuana and 29 pounds of heroin. More arrests are expected.

While Unemployment Rises, 15 Million OUT of Work & College Graduates Have NO Job Prospects, Obama and Congress Allotting 155,000 H1B & H2B Work Visas

An American Outrage! While Unemployment Rises, 15 Million OUT of Work & College Graduates Have NO Job Prospects, Obama and Congress Still Allotting 155,000 H1B & H2B Work Visas for 2010!
By Marc Chamot

If people are wondering as to why jobs aren’t being filled by Americans, maybe outrageous reasons like these might be the real answer.

Here are jobs that H2B visas are taking away from YOU: Types of H2B Visa Jobs / H2B Work includes:Hospitality workers, Hotels / Motels, Chefs, Resorts and Theme Parks, Ticket Sales, Cruise ships, Construction workers, Maintenance, Janitorial, Ski Resorts, Landscaping, Golf Courses, Water parks, Security, Ride Operators, Restaurants and bars, Warehouse, Retail Stores

While news reports are showing that unemployment has risen in 23 states, and thousands upon thousands of our own college graduates have no job prospects in the near future, our imbeciles’ in Washington are still allotting 66,000 H2B Visas, and 85,000 H1B work visas in 2010 for MORE foreigners to come in and take our valuable JOBS.

This is borderline asinine, folks! Our federal government is still doling out those H1B and H2B work visas to foreigners in large numbers.

American companies are applying for those cheap sources of labor, while Americans are being put out of work and our college graduates have no job prospects. This is the TOTAL DISCONNECT that we’re talking about, and we’re still getting from our federal officials these days, and there is no end in sight.

H-1B Visa and Employment Based Green Card: "The H-1B visa is highly desirable since it allows for "dual-intent"; the applicant may continue to work in the U.S. while, at the same time, apply for a "green card" (lawful permanent residence.) In short, the H-1B is a great way to work, while awaiting approval, of a green card application.

There is currently an annual quota of 65,000. There are also an additional 20,000 visas available, to those individuals who possess a Master’s degree, or higher, from a U.S. academic institution. In 2009, a significant number of H-1B visas remain available. This is a highly unusual phenomenon. The annual quota is usually filled within just a few days, after the visas are initially offered. If you would “

Application For H-2B Visas Re-Opened By U.S
Last Updated: 2009-08-07

"The U.S. has re-opened the applications for H-2B visas to fill temporary non-agricultural positions.

The congressionally mandated annual cap for H-2B visas sought by semi-skilled Indian workers is 66,000, and the government has issued only 40,640 this fiscal year, which ends Sep 30.

"Because of the low visa issuance rate, (US Citizenship and Immigration Services, USCIS) is reopening the filing period to allow employers to file additional petitions for qualified H-2B temporary foreign non-agricultural workers”, the source said.

The H-1B visas allow foreign nationals to work in U.S for a short period of projects. Whereas, the H-2B visa enable the US nationals to bring foreign nationals to the US to fill temporary non-agricultural positions for which there is a shortage of workers.

The requirement of labour in the areas like construction, health care, landscaping, food service and hospitality can be filled by H-2B visas.

Because of ongoing recession the demand of H-2B visas has been reduced, before, the demand was high.

From past two years, the demand of employers trying to bring foreigners to work permanently in the US has also declined.

The demand for popular H-1B visas among Indian techies has gown down this year.

Till now, USCIS has received approximately 45,000 H-1B visa applications.

The USCIS figures shows the declination in the number of employer-sponsored for work-based green cards applications received by the government, the number is just half of the applications received in previous years.

There were almost 235,000 applications submitted in fiscal 2007, almost 104,000 the following year, and fewer than 36,000 through the first eight months of fiscal 2009.

According to “Department of Labour”, in the fiscal year 2007, most of the applications came from India, Mexico, the Philippines, China and Korea."

For the Fiscal Year 2010 (FY 2010) we are currently accepting applications for H1B visas. "The H-1B is a nonimmigrant classification used by an alien who will be employed temporarily in a specialty occupation or as a fashion model. The filing deadline for H-1B visas for Fiscal Year 2010 (FY 2010) is April 1, 2009. Under current law, an alien can be in H-1B status for a maximum period of six years at a time.

After that time an alien must remain outside the United States for one year before another H-1B petition can be approved. Certain aliens working on Defense Department projects may remain in H-1B status for 10 years.

In addition, certain aliens may obtain an extension of H-1B status beyond the 6-year maximum period. The current law limits the cap of H1Bs to 65,000 as the number of aliens who may be issued an H1B visa or otherwise provided H-1B status. (The numerical limitation was temporarily raised to 195,000 in FY2001, FY2002 and FY2003.)

In addition, all H-1B non-immigrants who work at (but not necessarily for) universities and non-profit research facilities are excluded from the numerical cap. This means that contractors working at, but not directly employed by the institution may be exempt from the cap. H1B Visa renewals and Extensions of stay however do not count towards the annual limits.

Transfers of H1B visas among employers only count when changing jobs from an employer exempt from the limits (academia or research) to one that is not exempt. Therefore, despite the numerical limitations we can prepare and file your case for an extension of stay provided the maximum 6 year has not yet been fulfilled. The maximum allotted visas authorized by Congress are 65,000 new H1B visas per fiscal year with some exceptions.

The first 20,000 H1B visas issued to alien workers who obtained their master's degree here in the U.S. are exempt from the 65,000 cap; H1B visas issued to such individuals subsequent to the first 20,000 are then counted against the overall 65,000 cap.

Some U.S. Senators have proposed increasing the cap, but such legislation is yet to be passed by Congress. Foreign nationals in the U.S. in lawful H1B status who are seeking to extend their visa or change employers are not affected by the annual limit.”

Even President Obama has spoken very favorably about these H1B and H2B work visas, knowing full well that those are 155,000 Americans, most likely college graduates, who are going to be kept OUT from any working opportunities with American companies.

Like these; By Nanette Asimov SF Chronicle: "They feel like failures. Disillusioned, like a runner who trips out of the starting gate.

But many college graduates who've been forced by the worst job market in decades to move back home with Mom and Dad say they also feel, to their surprise, fortunate.

"I've learned to be so grateful," said Genevieve Isola, a University of California graduate who's living in her childhood bedroom in San Ramon and working in a clothing boutique, just as she did in high school.

Isola, 23, earned a sociology degree in 2008 from UC Santa Barbara, part of one of the world's most prestigious university systems. Like most people with a fresh diploma, she saw it as a hall pass to a career in her field. She prowled Internet job sites in search of anything sociology sounding: social worker, youth mentor, classroom counselor.

"You're propelled by all this energy and all this knowledge," she said. "It's a force that can't be stopped."

And then the realities of the recession do stop it, as in brick wall.
There are 7.2 million fewer jobs now than when the recession began two years ago, according to the U.S. Labor Department. Unemployment hasn't been this high in 26 years, with nearly 1 in 10 people out of work across the country.

More returning home
Most of them can't crawl back to the home of their youth, get a hug from long-suffering parents and be served a free hot meal night after night. But plenty of new graduates can - and they're doing it more often, according to a Foster City company called CollegeGrad.com.

They began asking graduates in 2006 if they had moved back home after school. At that time, 67 percent of more than 2,000 respondents said yes. This year it was 80 percent.

Though it's a small sample size, the numbers support anecdotal evidence that as jobs become more scarce, graduates are returning home in greater numbers, said Adeola Ogunwole, who runs CollegeGrad.com.

"It strips away your self-esteem," said Isola, who moved back home in February. "We had this whole purpose, this idea that our education would benefit us and society - and all off a sudden, you're sitting at home searching for a minimum wage job."

Here is yet, just another example of our elected officials’ total disconnects, and their IDIOCIES that we’re getting from these inept Washington D.C. officials. And these politicians keep wondering as to why Americans are getting angry and angrier?

That’s why change is coming soon, and it won’t be the Obama’s and his Democratic/Republican cohort’s type of change, it will be OUR VERY OWN.

Source: H1B Visas for FY 2010 "Employers should also consider that the foreign national who they intend to employ must be in lawful non-immigrant status which must be valid until October 1, 2009 which is the affectivity date of that approved H1B Visa. Should the foreign national not meet this requirement, for example a person in B-2 or Tourist visa may elect to have his/her B-2 tourist visa extended so that they may bridge the gap between the time their authorized stay (I-94) expires until October 1, 2009.

If extending the B-2 tourist visa is not an option, the foreign national may then leave the U.S. and return to their home country before their authorized stay (I-94) visa expires and obtain their H1B visa at the U.S. Embassy in their home country. H1B visas are only issued to foreign nationals employed in a "specialty occupation" or as a fashion model of distinguished merit and ability.

The U.S. Immigration regulations states that a "specialty occupation" is an occupation that requires theoretical and practical application of a body of specialized knowledge and attainment of a bachelor's degree or higher in the specific specialty as a minimum qualification for entry into the United States. Examples of H1B occupations include accountants, engineers, computer programmers, teachers, marketing analyst, etc.

As part of the Labor Condition Attestation all H1B workers must be paid the wages and benefits equal or greater than U.S. workers in the same type of profession or field so that it will not adversely affect the wages and labor conditions for U.S. Citizen workers. H1B workers are subject to a limitation of six years; upon completing six years' employment in H1B status, they must depart the U.S. for one year before commencing new H1B employment but there is a provision under the U.S.

Immigration Law called the American Competitiveness in the 21st Century Act of 2000 ("AC21" ) which allows H1B workers to extend their employment beyond six years if certain requirements are met. A new memorandum released by the USCIS also clarified that any time spent as an H-4 dependent will not count towards the six-year limitation in H1B status.

This memo also provided that a foreign national who was in the U.S. in valid H1B status for less than the six-year maximum period of admission, but has since been outside the U.S. for more than one year can elect to either: (1) be re-admitted for the "remainder" of the initial six-year admission period without being subject to the H1B cap if previously counted, or (2) seek to be admitted as a "new" H1B alien subject to the H1B cap.

Employers who intend to employ a foreign national on an H1B visa for FY 2010 must begin the process now so that they may timely file the H1B visa petitions on April 1, 2009, the date that filings for initial H1B visas are accepted by the US Immigration Service.

Since the H1B visas has become more and more complex and filings timely is crucial, U.S. employers who intends to employ foreign workers on H1B visas are advised to consult a knowledgeable and experienced U.S. immigration attorney.
But meanwhile, unemployment rates keep on going up and up."

Unemployment Rate Rises in 23 States in September
The Labor Department says Nevada, Rhode Island and Florida in September posted their highest jobless rates on records dating to 1976.

Unemployment rates rose last month in 23 states and fell in 19 as the economy struggled to create jobs in the early stages of recovery.

The Labor Department says Nevada, Rhode Island and Florida in September posted their highest jobless rates on records dating to 1976.

Michigan reported the nation's highest unemployment rate at 15.3 percent. It was followed by Nevada at 13.3 percent, Rhode Island at 13 percent, California at 12.2 percent and South Carolina at 11.6 percent.

There were some bright spots: Ohio and Indiana, two states hit hard by the downturn in manufacturing, reported significant drops in unemployment.

The jobless rate in the Midwest fell to 9.8 percent last month from 10 percent in August. It was the only region where the unemployment rate dropped.

A Cap/Trade Dilemma; California Movement to Stop Democratic Radical Environmentalists is GROWING; Republicans are reaping in Voter Registrations:

A Cap & Trade Dilemma; California Movement to Stop Democratic Radical Environmentalists is GROWING; Republicans are reaping in Voter Registrations:
By Marc Chamot & Source: S.F. Chronicle

When President Barack Obama and his Washington Democrats want to embark on that ever CRAZY economical and jobs killing program like the “Cap and Trade,” and with their restrictive “Global Warming” policies, they BETTER take a hard look to California, because it could be their political death knell for their future careers in American politics.

What happens in a state, when life saving resources such as water, for central valley farms and communities, is being impeded by Democrats in Sacramento and federal judges, with environmentalists just to protect FISH?

California Democrats and the FEDS aren’t learning anything yet about common people.

It seems that their environmentalists’ agendas are getting them in deeper trouble. Just when we thought that it was all over for California Republicans, Democrats are giving them a lifeline once again. California Republicans are seeking political gold, with their water and drought problems mainly in the central valleys areas.

Most American LATINO citizens’ farm workers in these central valleys are now the most affected by the drought. While farm lands are drying up, they are being left as the most unemployed and impoverished. Unemployment is the highest, food banks are busy, and it’s the hardest hit area by the recession.

Stop the Radical environmentalists cries are all over, with their, “save your water and jobs, VOTE Republicans” crusades. “When I saw the registration numbers from that weekend, I almost fell off my chair,” said Johnny Amaral, Chief of Staff for Republican Representative Devin Nunes. “I’ve never seen anything like this!”

The Fresno area unemployment is twice the counties’ 14.4 percent. The answer to the three year old drought is simple, restart the pumps you shut down and just let the water flow to these drying and dying farms.

Sacramento Democrats along with federal judges and their environmentalists have virtually paralyzed all water distribution into central valley farm lands, for the sakes of a small useless fish. Ones that never belonged in the area in the first place, and they NEVER were part of California species of fish before.

Latinos, who were the traditional Democratic voting block, are signing up as Republicans in droves. This is what happens when you have Democratic politicians who are more interested in protecting animal life, over human life, over farming and jobs. “They are using federal judges to kill our JOBS and food consumptions!” “We have federal judges protecting salmon, protecting the smelts, and when will all this end?”

There is no doubt that radical environmentalists are killing our economy everywhere, but in California it’s a bigger deal there, because these environmentalists are thoroughly entrenched in politics, they are now killing its economy and jobs. Californian Democrats know that, but they still want to pursue that same harmful agenda anyway.

California serves as a DIRE warning for the rest of America. This is what these trade and capers, and these pro-global warming believers want to do, with the rest of the country and the world. Just keep an eye on the California 2010 elections; it will foretell what is in store for the 2012 presidential elections, believe me.

State GOP tries to steal Dems' fire over water "Read more:"

"GOP leaders have put water atop their agenda for next year's statewide campaigns. They are expanding voter-registration efforts in the drought-stricken Central Valley, where unemployment is high and food banks are busy, and encouraging candidates to reach out to Latino voters hit hard by the recession.

The strategy was distilled on a 5-foot-high banner at the Republican voter registration table in front of a Walmart store in Dinuba (Tulare County) in August: "Stop the radical environmentalists. Save your water. Save your jobs. Vote Republican."
