Obama Tax Deal makes most Americans Happy... except for some

Most Americans pleased with new Tax Deal, others disappointed


Many liberals annoyed and angry with their leader and had surrendered on regards to raising taxes on the rich, pretty much without a fight. Conservatives recently won the battle against the liberal stimulus program that would have introduced a $844 billion relief package.

Many say that this move from Obama is the first step for Obama to gain re-election. By appeasing to the Conservative views on the reform, he may be winning over many citizens with vote to go with him in 2012. This is mainly appealing to the rich who pay almost 60% of the entire countries taxes; the rich being anyone who makes over $250,000 a year.

Now, with Conservatives in power and in control over the taxes, a more regulated and conformed spending plan will be put in place and will keep the country out of the debt we are trying to get out of that the Liberals got us into.

Don Trump really considering Prez position for 2012...

Mr. Trump is really considering Presidency in 2012


Donald Trump never wanted to be a President or even wanted to run for President, but he is seriously now considering the possibility of being this countries next President because of the "dire straits," we are facing. With a failing economy and uncertainty ahead in regards to it, the business tycoon believes that his business strategies and tactics he possesses will be very helpful for the country when facing such uncertainty. 


Trump states, “For the first time really would think about it. And I am thinking about it. It doesn’t mean I want to do it. I’d prefer not doing it. I’m having a lot of fun doing what I’m doing. It’s a great time to be buying things. I’m buying a lot of things and really having a good time.” Later in the same speech he criticized Obama on his current standing regarding the economy and his lack of experience dealing with the economy. Trump says that his continuous talk of getting things done but never ends up actually doing so is no more an excuse.


Trump later said in same conjunction with those statements that he will make his Presidential announcement for office in June.

Obama Confident with Tax Compromise

Obama says he's confident that new Tax Compromise will pass with Republicans


With the shift in power within the House, Republicans now hold the congressional power. With many Republicans wishing to re-establish and extend the "Bush tax-cuts" and keep them extended for another two years. Many Democrats are against the new extensions and want to see the Bush tax cuts ended.

Although many Democrats continue to show a resentment against Obama, this being his own party because he said he would be willing to negotiate with the Republicans and  find an alternative to the cuts they would like to implement. Obama recently stated,"Here's what I'm confident about: that nobody - Democrat or Republican - wants to see people's paychecks smaller on January 1 because Congress didn't act." This statement shows that Obama is in definite favor for the cuts and knows that this holiday season will be a crucial time for Americans to have some spending money.

Clinton: NOT running for presidency

Clinton: "I'm not running for president"


Announced and confirmed today, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced that she will not be running for president in the upcoming 2012 elections. Clinton stated that, "I am not in any way interested in or pursuing anything in elected office." She made this statement to FOX News this Sunday. When she was asked, she laughed at the growing speculation of this growing claim.

"I love what I'm doing," Clinton said. "I can't tell you what it's like… to every day get to represent the United States. Through interpretation of this statement she seems happy with her current governmental position and isn't looking for a move upwards in the political realm. Still many believe that they believe that she will challenge Obama in the next elections even though she continues to stand by many of his political polices.

In other news, Clinton also made remarks regarding the TSA pat-downs as I later discussed in my blogs. She states that she would try to avoid the pat-downs along with the many other angry Americans but she says it adds a great deal of needed protection against a evil ready to strike.

Marines will comply with 'don't ask, don' tell'

Marines will comply with new repeal of 'Don't ask don't tell'


A recently released statement from the head of the Marines and other armed forces divisions stated that the U.S. Marine Corps will "fully cooperate with the new repeal." This repeal comes after it was recently sent through the Circuit Courts and was then over-turned by the Supreme Court. Now all gays and lesbians who "came out" in that time frame when it was said that they wouldn't be barred from the military if they admitted they were gay will not be penalized for doing so now that the policy is back in place.

Mullen stated that in no way will any of the gays or lesbians who openly admitted to being so will be punished. Although it was recommended that if any other gay or lesbians were serving in the military and were gay or lesbians should remain silent about their sexuality until the law moves forward into a more mature stage when the Supreme Court will make determinations about the law again.

TSA will continue pat-downs

TSA claims pat-downs still necessary and will continue


A federal TSA official stated Sundays that the enhanced airport pat-downs will continue as an extra procedure of caution as the busy holiday months approach. He said security measures will be beefed up and that the measures in place will stay in place.

Many travelers are opposed to the new measures because they feel a violation of privacy is being crossed. John Pistole, the administrator of the Transportation Security Administration, said he understood public discomfort over having a stranger touch them, especially when it came to the breasts, butt and genitals. Although these measures are all in place in trying to find possible hidden explosives. Any traveler who sets off a metal detector must go through the pat-down to get onto the plane.

U.S. sends tanks into Afghanistan

U.S. combatting Taliban with heavier force


The U.S. military is amping up firepower in its nine year fight against terror as they deploy new heavily armored tanks into the fight to eliminate a growing Taliban and al-Quada resistance. This news comes on Friday from a military spokesperson. The U.S. Marine Corps plans to use a company of M1A1 Abrams tanks to combat the growing resistance.

These new tanks will be primarily deployed to the Helmand province in early spring. U.S. forces used the tanks to battle insurgents successfully in Iraq's Anbar province, Chapin said and they plan to see similar successful results in Helmand and other surrounding providences.

This decision comes in light of the NATO agenda which has the Afghan war at the top of its list for discussion and improvement of military tactics in the war on terror.
