Get IN the know and keep listening to what our OLD media won't be telling you...
When Barack Obama entered the 2008 Presidential Election scene, aside from recycling the Clinton mantra of “Hope and Change” (yes, Mr. Obama’s use of the campaign slogan was not original in nature), we were told that his most endearing credential was that he had navigated the “mean streets of Chicago” as a community organizer disseminating “hope”; that he had been successful in making the poverty-stricken neighborhoods of Chicago a better place to live, a safer place to live. As of April 25, 2010, the residents of Chicago have stood witness to 113 homicides. I suppose, for President Obama, all that’s missing is a “Mission Accomplished” banner.
By now, everyone has heard at least one story about the out-of-control violence taking place in the mean-streets of Chicago. Gang crime is so bad in some parts of the city that parents, when there are two existing in the household, routinely remind their children not to play in front of the windows in their houses for fear of being struck by a stray bullet fired from the gun of a gangbanger. The situation is so bad that some lawmakers in Illinois’ capitol, Springfield, have called upon the governor, Pat Quinn (D), to call in the Illinois National Guard to supplement the Chicago Police Department.
While the notion of sending in the Illinois National Guard sounds good on the surface, as John Howell of AM560 WIND in Chicago contends, the first time a National Guardsman has to shoot a civilian the real fireworks will start. I’ll take that a step further, the real fireworks will start when a Chicago gangbanger shoots and kills an Illinois National Guardsman. Illinois Governor Quinn has since rejected the idea so we shall never know how much blood would have been running in the streets had these two scenarios played out.
So, the issue of street violence in Chicago remains with no immediate prospects for improvement.
In 1985, Mr. Obama was hired as a community organizer by the Developing Communities Project in Chicago and given the position of director. The Developing Communities Project was a church-based organization comprised of eight Catholic parishes on Chicago’s infamous far South Side.
According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics there were 666 instances of murder & non-negligent manslaughter and 34,172 instances of aggravated assault in Chicago during 1985.
Mr. Obama worked at the Developing Communities Project from 1985 until mid-1988 during which time he increased the organization’s staff from one to thirteen and increased its operating budget from $70,000 to $400,000.
Again, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, there were 744 instances of murder & non-negligent manslaughter and 33,529 instances of aggravated assault in Chicago in 1986.
And during his just-short-of three years with the Developing Communities Project – during which time he also worked as a consultant and instructor for the Gamaliel Foundation, a community organizing institute – he allegedly set up a job training program, a college preparatory tutoring program and a tenants' rights organization in Altgeld Gardens, a location that still exists in extreme poverty today.
Once again, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, there were 687 instances of murder & non-negligent manslaughter and 34,172 instances of aggravated assault in 1987.
In mid 1988, community organizer Obama decided that he had done such a good job for the good people at the Developing Communities Project that he bid them “adieu” (mission accomplished) and set out to see the Continent of Europe for three weeks and then the ancestral African nation of Kenya for five weeks before starting his education in the law at Harvard University.
The rest, as they say, is history, or what we are allowed to know of the facts about Mr. Obama’s history, so many records and documents are sealed, don’t you know...
The most often accurate Wikipedia explains community organizing this way:
“Community organizing is a process through which people living in proximity to each other are brought together into an organization that acts in their shared self-interest...community organizers generally assume that social change necessarily involves conflict and social struggle in order to generate collective power for the powerless...”
It begs to be asked; wouldn’t the unbridled murdering of members of a community be in the utmost of “shared self-interests” of a community? Wouldn’t the senseless slaughter of the youth from poverty stricken Chicago communities rank right up there with, let’s say, teaching ACORN the Alinsky method of pressuring financial institutions into making bad home loans to people who could never pay their mortgages or registering fictional characters and dead people to vote?
For those who believe that the years of the Obama Community Organizing Experience saw an anomaly where serious crime is concerned:
It should be noted that Mr. Obama served in the Illinois Legislature from 1996 until 2004 where he would have been able to employ lessons learned from his extraordinary community organizing experience to affect “change” for what would become – or “transform,” if you will – the gangbanger battlefield streets of Chicago.
So, it would seem, one of the most important issues facing the communities serviced by Mr. Obama’s organizing – the unacceptable level of violence resulting in homicides – was either left unaddressed or, if it was addressed, was done so in such a poor fashion that the slaughter continued to increase in the years after his “organizing.”
So, for all you Progressives and Obama-apologists, all you Alinskyites and all of you “hope and change” junkies, I ask, which is more important: to make sure those who can’t afford mortgages get them so the rest of the nation can bail them out down the road or securing the neighborhood streets from gang violence? Is it more important to make sure that you get people who have no fact-based understanding of the issues registered to vote or to make sure that when little Jimmy walks home from school he doesn’t end up kicked to the curb with a bullet in his head?
Many among the electorate have come to understand that President Obama and his administration have their priorities mixed-up. I would point to the absolute failure of his “community organizing” – as it pertains to the most important job of a community organizer, keeping the members of the community alive – and say he had his priorities mixed-up long, long ago.
But, hey, if the number of registered voters trumps the body-count, then I guess he did one hell of a job.

NOTE: Here is a list for you to present to those who say Obama is LOWERING taxes. This was done with some research using the search words below for my reference..
Labels: health care, taxes
Remember when Obama said, "I've been a little amused over the last couple of days where people have been having these rallies about taxes," the president said, noting the numerous tax cuts pushed by his administration. "You would think they'd be saying thank you." Of course you remember, it was yesterday. Well, for all your little smug liberal friends that say Obama cuts taxes, ask them about the taxes stuffed into the new Obamacare disaster:
(Page numbers reference ORIGINAL REID-OBAMA BILL unless noted):
Individual Mandate Tax (Page 324/Sec. 1501/$15 bil/Jan 2014): Starting in 2014, anyone not buying “qualifying” health insurance must pay an income surtax according to the higher of the following (page 71 of manager’s amendment updates Reid bill):
Single 2014 $495/0.5% AGI $990/0.5% AGI $1485/0.5%/AGI 2 People 2015 $495/1.0% AGI $990/1.0% AGI $1485/1.0%/AGI 3+ People 2016+ $495/2.0% AGI $990/2.0% AGI $1485/2.0%/AGI
(Exemptions for religious objectors, undocumented immigrants, prisoners, those earning less than the poverty line, members of Indian tribes, and hardship cases (determined by HHS).)
Employer Mandate Tax (Page 348/Sec. 1513/$28 bil/Jan 2014): If an employer does not offer health coverage, and at least one employee qualifies for a health tax credit, the employer must pay an additional non-deductible tax of $750 for all full-time employees. Applies to all employers with 50 or more employees.
If the employer requires a waiting period to enroll in coverage of 30-60 days, there is a $400 tax per employee ($600 if the period is 60 days or longer).
Excise Tax on Comprehensive Health Insurance Plans (Page 1979/Sec. 9001/$149.1 bil/Jan 2011): Starting in 2013, new 40 percent excise tax on “Cadillac” health insurance plans ($8500 single/$23,000 family). Higher threshold ($9850 single/$26,000 family) for early retirees and high-risk professions. CPI +1 percentage point indexed. Longshoremen have been exempted (page 362 of the manager’s amendment)
From 2013-2015, the 17 highest-cost states are 120% of this level.
Employer Reporting of Insurance on W-2 (Page 1996/Sec. 9002/Min$/Jan 2011): Preamble to taxing health benefits on individual tax returns.
Medicine Cabinet Tax (Page 1997/Sec. 9003/$5 bil/Jan 2011): No longer allowable to use health savings account (HSA), flexible spending account (FSA), or health reimbursement (HRA) pre-tax dollars to purchase non-prescription, over-the-counter medicines (except insulin)
HSA Withdrawal Tax Hike (Page 1998/Sec. 9004/$1.3 bil/Jan 2011): Increases additional tax on non-medical early withdrawals from an HSA from 10 to 20 percent, disadvantaging them relative to IRAs and other tax-advantaged accounts, which remain at 10 percent.
FSA Cap (Page 1999/Sec. 9005/$13.3 bil/Jan 2011): Imposes cap on FSAs of $2500 (now unlimited). Indexed to inflation after 2011 (added on page 363 of manager’s amendment)
Corporate 1099-MISC Information Reporting (Page 1999/Sec. 9006/$17.1 bil/Jan 2012): Requires businesses to send 1099-MISC information tax forms to corporations (currently limited to individuals), a huge compliance burden for small employers
Excise Tax on Charitable Hospitals (page 2001/Sec. 9007/Min$/immediate): $50,000 per hospital if they fail to meet new "community health assessment needs," "financial assistance," and "billing and collection" rules set by HHS (updated on page 364 of manager’s amendment).

Going To A Tea Party...
April 18, 2010...
By: Matt Bruce - Manatee County Buzz Examiner...
SARASOTA, FL. (NS/Examiner.com) –
When I was first invited by Robin Stublen, of the Punta Gorda TEA Party to speak at their April 15th Tax Day TEA Party, I had no idea what to expect or how many people would show up as enthusiastic as they were…
It was a nice Florida afternoon with rain in the air, which moved off to the East to allow us to have great weather for an even greater event…
The people started coming in groups of 4 and 5 and the closer we got to the start time of 5 PM, more and more people showed up coming directly from work. I estimated the crowd at 1,000 around 5 PM but it kept on growing right through the event until all of the Print Media, Radio, TV and TEA Party Organizers agreed we had a crowd of between 1,500-2,000 people which probably closer approached the 2,000 mark…
Robin Stublen kicked things off and set the tone for the TEA Party and there were 5 Candidate’s present who were all running for Governor. I saw Conservatives, Democrats, Liberals, Libertarians, Progressives, Republicans and a lot of Families along with younger High school and College TEA Party goers there…
The Political Candidates did their thing and the crowd responded. What more can you say when you have Candidates show up because they’re always going to tell you “Vote For Me!” as you well know…
Now I had brought my TV friend Alix Redmonde from “The Alix Redmonde Show” on Comcast Cable BLAB TV who was filming me and what I was going to be doing at the TEA Party Event, namely speaking to the crowd…
She had her camera set up on a tri pod and also got some good clips of the crowd, some kids, animals dressed in patriotic attire and captured the real passion of the TEA Party attendee’s…
Then came my chance to get up and speak to the TEA Party…
I was introduced as a Nationally Syndicated Talk Radio Show Host heard on over 100 Radio Stations. Then came the announcement that I had been a First Responder on September 11th, 2001 to the World Trade Center and what happened to me when I got hurt away from the scene after falling 18 feet and suffered career ending injuries as a Fire-Rescue Captain. That started the standing ovation and I must admit, I had a few tears in my eyes when I took the microphone and began to speak…
The first thing I said was shout “Hello Punta Gorda” to the crowd who shouted “Hello” right back at me! Then I told them the last time I had been to Punta Gorda it was immediately after Hurricane Charley had torn through their small City on the Southwest Coast of Florida, destroying most of it…
From the ruins of that Hurricane, the people of Punta Gorda rose to build what today is one of THE nicest places you’d ever want to go and visit! I told them all to “Stand Up and give yourself a big round of applause for what YOU, the people of Punta Gorda accomplished by rebuilding your City!”…
Well that brought down the house and from there I started in with my basic and simple speech talking about the Progressive Left Liberal Agenda for America…
I can’t tell you how many times the speech was interrupted for applause but it was inspiring to say the least by all who heard it!
Of course I brought the Military into the discussion by thanking ALL those who had served and were serving America keeping all of us FREE and SAFE in the Global War on Terror! I saw numerous Veterans in the crowd wearing their Veteran hats and felt right at home…
To wrap up my story I just want to say that on TEA Party Tax Day we saw the BEST America has to offer attending their local TEA Party’s all across the Country, over 650 of them by reports I’ve seen, and the people’s voices were heard!
The message is clear and simple, “We the PEOPLE are coming on November 2nd to take our Country BACK!”…
God Bless each and every one of you and God bless the United States of America…
