They are getting some slightly positive news on the jobs front and rumors the housing industry is maybe turning around. They are going to try to capitalize on that. If they keep blaming Bush, it will take the news off topic for them.

Obama insisted on state, local Stafford Act funding after Joplin, Mo. tornado

 

Mark Levin: Obama voted against waiving Stafford Act 10 days before 2007 ‘race speech’

 

Where’s your dollar? Sen. Obama voted against Stafford waiver for New Orleans two weeks before speech

 

In one of the previously unseen segments in that 2007 video the mainstream media insist we had all seen, then Sen. Barack Obama channeled his inner Kanye West before a group of ministers, suggesting that race influenced that federal government’s response to Hurricane Katrina, unlike the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and Hurricane Andrew. ”Somehow the people down in New Orleans they don’t care about as much,” Obama told the crowd, criticizing the government for not waiving the Stafford Act for New Orleans as it had for the disasters in New York and Florida.

 

However, the federal government had waived the Stafford Act’s requirement that New Orleans contribute 10 percent toward the cost of reconstruction and cleanup efforts just 10 days before Obama delivered his speech. Not only that — Obama was among 14 senators who voted against the bill.

Austin's Mayor commenting on a new bond proposal in response to a negative newspaper article...

 

Leffingwell: Bonds won’t add to taxpayers’ burden

 

Third, taxes. Here we have a fundamental disagreement with the Statesman, which has inaccurately and unfairly characterized as “nonsense” the fact that approving all seven bonds will not require a tax rate increase. So let’s break it down.

 

The city’s current bond debt tax rate is 12 cents per $100 of home value. If voters approve all seven bonds, that rate will stay constant at 12 cents. That’s because as we pay off old debt, we can issue new bonds without raising the current rate.

 

It’s true that if voters reject all bonds the 12-cent rate would eventually decrease by 2 cents. Accordingly, the Statesman maintains that “not down” is the same thing as “up.” But that’s a bad word game. Constant is constant; the rate wouldn’t change.

 

OK taxes would go down without new bonds. Politicians suck..

From the Liberal Book of Freak-a-nomics:

 

1.) It's not your money....you only earned it.

2.) If a bond expires & we put a new one up.....you won't even notice a difference.

3.) Don't think about it.....it just makes your head hurt.

4.) We're the government & we're here to help.

 

Edited to add: The same thing is happening here in Jefferson County. The schools are retiring a mil levy & they've proposed a new one that will only add an extra $196 per household @ year.....since we're saving from the old mil levy being retired. SSDD

U.S. Soldiers Urged Not to Shoot Taliban at Night so Locals Can Sleep

 

Reports indicate U.S. soldiers and British Royal Marines have been urged to show "courageous constraint" by not shooting Taliban members spotted planting IEDs.

The reason? Shooting them might disturb the locals.

 

This news comes out on the heels of an investigation into the death of Royal Marine Sergeant Peter Rayner, whom witnesses say watched the Taliban plant IEDs at night but was ordered not to engage them. Families of other soldiers and Royal Marines are telling stories of how their loved ones were not allowed to use mortars or night illumination when they came across Taliban members in an area full of IEDs.

 

The reason given was that "the sound of shooting 'might wake up and upset the locals.'"

 

This is not "courageous restraint" -- this is appeasement.

Defecting Iranian cameraman brings CIA priceless film of secret nuclear sites

 

http://www.debka.com/article/22412/Defecting-Iranian-cameraman-brings-CIA-priceless-film-of-secret-nuclear-sites-

 

DebkaFile reveals one of the CIA’s most dramatic scoops in many years, and epic disaster for Iran. Our most exclusive Iranian and intelligence sources disclose that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s personal cameraman, Hassan Golkhanban, who defected from his UN entourage in New York on Oct. 1, brought with him an intelligence treasure trove of up-to-date photographs and videos of top Iranian leaders visiting their most sensitive and secret nuclear and missile sites.

 

The cameraman, who is in his 40s, is staying at an undisclosed address, presumably a CIA safe house under close guard.

 

He stayed behind when Ahmadinejad, after his UN speech, departed New York with his 140-strong entourage. For some years, Golkhanban worked not just as a news cameraman but personally recorded visits by the Iranian president and supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei of top-secret nuclear facilities and Revolutionary Guards installations.

 

When he left Tehran in the president’s party, his luggage was not searched and so he was able to bring out two suitcases packed with precious film and deliver it safely into waiting hands in New York.

 

The Iranian cameraman has given US intelligence the most complete and updated footage it has ever obtained of the interiors of Iran’s top secret military facilities and various nuclear installations, including some never revealed to nuclear watchdog inspectors.

Truly Scary

 

http://barnhardt.biz/

 

Posted by Ann Barnhardt - October 3, AD 2012 9:21 PM MST

 

 

I didn't watch the debate. I went over to a Friend's house and talked, read some Aquinas, and then talked some more. Then I went to Chick-Fil-A.

 

I find myself with an intense feeling of dread after reading the wrap-up comments.

Obama got his ass kicked, or to be more precise, kicked his own ass. From what people are saying, it seems clear that Obama did not prepare in any way, shape or form. More on point, Valerie Jarrett, Michelle Obama and David Axelrod did not force Obama to prepare. At all.

 

This implies two things. First, the "less-bad" implication:

No preparation was done because they know that the elections will be fixed and none of them care, least of all Barry who is a drug-addled imbecile and doesn't care about much beyond his next gram of coke and male fellation.

 

What really, really is bothering me and has me genuinely scared (yes, I do feel fear) is the fact that it can now no longer be denied that Barack Obama is worth more to his neo-Stalinist handlers dead than alive.

Someone has to say it. It might as well be me.

 

There has been buzz of a false-flag assassination attempt contingency plan among the Valerie Jarrett gang, but after this, I am genuinely scared that the false-flag assassination may no longer be a mere attempt, but a full-on JFK scenario.

Obama the man is now a liability to the putsch. These people are evil on a scale that most people cannot fathom, and Barry has only ever been a puppet and a tool to them.

 

Join me in praying for the safety of Barack Obama or whatever the hell his name is. He needs to be removed, arrested, tried and convicted for what he has done in the calmest, most orderly way possible. If his own handlers false-flag assassinate him, the entire world will fall into tyranny almost overnight, and my fear is that is exactly what they want, and they may be audacious and desperate enough to do it - especially after tonight.

 

Stay frosty. Pray hard.
