This is What The Candidate Said…Back in 1998!

Since the candidate Obama spoke about redistribution, in 1998, Mitt and FOX News can withhold a few words to get the conversation to their level of greed and deceit. I guess they prefer to fool American people in believing that two wrongs can make it right. 

Candidate Obama said: "I think the trick is figuring out how do we structure government systems that pool resources and hence facilitate some redistribution because I actually believe in redistribution, at least at a certain level to make sure that everybody's got a shot. How do we pool resources at the same time as we decentralize delivery systems in ways that both foster competition, can work in the marketplace, and can foster innovation at the local level and can be tailored to particular communities".

Interesting to hear that he said everybody's got a shot, an opportunity to contribute to the greater good! You won't hear that part on FAUX News, the unfair and bias news network. That would be nice to see community pride besides the Hamptons and other playgrounds for the rich and famous. Don't get me wrong, I'm not angry with them at all. They earned what they got, just allow others an equal chance instead of putting roadblocks in the way. I suppose if they would block the President of the United States, common folks don't have a chance.



This Is What Romney Said in May, 2012!

The question doesn't just stop at, who will lead us to a better United States, but who will be the President for all of the people!  Mitt in a secret fundraiser had a lot to say about the people in America that doesn't live the way he does.  We all do not have the same opportunities, but that doesn't make us bad people.  We struggle to put roofs over our heads and provide for our families, too!  Many of us just don't have the benefit of having large inheritances left from someone who had others to help build their wealth.  Somebody had to buy their products and somebody had to make them.  Anyway...

An excerpt from Mr. Romney:  "There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that’s an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what. And I mean, the president starts off with 48, 49, he starts off with a huge number.

These are people who pay no income tax. Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax. So our message of low taxes doesn’t connect. So he’ll be out there talking about tax cuts for the rich. I mean, that’s what they sell every four years. And so my job is not to worry about those people.

I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives. What I have to do is convince the 5 to 10 percent in the center that are independents, that are thoughtful, that look at voting one way or the other depending upon in some cases emotion, whether they like the guy or not".

Nine-one-one is a date that permanently changed our way of life in America. It is another date that will live in infamy, just as December 7, 1941, when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.  Most of us remembered what we were doing on 9/11/01 and still could not believe what took place.  19 Al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked 4 airplanes, two from American Airlines and two from United Airlines.  Two were flown into the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center, one was flown into the Pentagon and the other crashed outside of Shanksville, Pennsylvania.  Over Shanksville, the passengers fought back.  Forty lives were lost on that flight.  Heroes fought and died so that others would live.  Overall, almost 3,000 people died and as many families will forever be affected as the result of these terrorist actions.  So many men and women became heroes that day and should never be forgotten.  There are still first responders and others who are still dying and suffering from severe illnesses caused by the toxins.  I’m glad to see Congress pass the amendment to the Zadroga Act which expanded the list of cancers.  There is a lot of ill-will in this world but there are a lot more people who want to help others.  Remember, all of us are going through something, let’s try to be more understanding to each other.  Do something positive today to remember the victims and families of this tragic event.

Ain’t God Good?!!!!

You’ve heard that statement somewhere. You might have heard it in church, in the workplace, and around friends. I’ve even heard it around strangers. It stands for so many reasons but most of all it shows the appreciation of what God has done. “Ain’t God Good” just doesn’t mean how merciful and loving God is, it’s also about saving us from situations that we couldn’t get ourselves out of, even with the help of others! God stepped in when it appeared that there was no other hope. It is at that point we realize that we are not in control and our faith is rejuvenated when the impossible became possible. “Nothing is impossible to the Lord.” Once again, we recognize that miracles are taking place. We can say this statement because there are so many things to be grateful for. We forget the many blessings that we get because we take them for granted. The Apostle Paul went through many trials but he still recognized the love of God and his infinite mercy. He knew that it led his faith to become stronger and life closer to God. Know that this day, at an already appointed time, that when we are called home, that Our Lord, Jesus Christ, will be there. We all want to be ready because we don’t know when that time will come. Make a list of what you have and want. Now make a list of what you think the homeless, handicapped, incarcerated, and the terminally ill would want. I hope that you find how truly blessed that you are.
