Presidential Vote - Who's your pick?

I'm doing a write in on the Ballet...MEGATRON!

I'm with you bot! I'm righting in Unicron for vice president!! he would have a strong stance on global affairs!! hahahahahahahaha!!

Seriously, a whole bunch of people I know are writing in MEGATRON in a way of protest. There is a mass email going around telling people to write in a fictional character.

Why not vote for Optimus Prime?

Megatron is the name that was thrown out. I don't know why they didn't of the OP man!

Obama is opposed to drilling as is Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. Gas prices will skyrocket.
Please don't vote for Obama. Read what else is in store for us if he's elected.


"Obama's Carbon Ultimatum" -

From the Wall Street Journal - October 20, 2008


"For years, Democrats -- including Senator Obama
-- have been howling about the 'politicization' of

the EPA, which has nominally been part of the Bush

Administration.

The complaint has been that the White House blocked
EPA bureaucrats from making the so-called
'endangerment finding' on carbon.

Now it turns out that a President Obama would
himself wield such a finding as a political
bludgeon.

He plans to issue an ultimatum to Congress:
Either impose new taxes and limits on carbon
that he finds amenable, or the EPA carbon
police will be let loose to ravage the
countryside." -- The Wall Street Journal



"Obama's Carbon Ultimatum"

Wall Street Journal Editorial -- October 20, 2008

Liberals pretend that only President Bush is
preventing the U.S. from adopting some global
warming "solution." But occasionally their mask

slips. As Barack Obama's energy adviser has now

made clear, the would-be President intends to
blackmail -- or rather, greenmail -- Congress into

falling in line with his climate agenda.

Jason Grumet is currently executive director of an

outfit called the National Commission on Energy

Policy and one of Mr. Obama's key policy aides. In

an interview last week with Bloomberg, Mr. Grumet

said that come January the Environmental
Protection Agency "would initiate those
rulemakings" that classify carbon as a dangerous

pollutant under current clean air laws.

That move would impose new regulation and taxes
across the entire economy, something that is usually
the purview of Congress. Mr. Grumet warned that "in

the absence of Congressional action" 18 months
after Mr. Obama's inauguration, the EPA would move

ahead with its own unilateral carbon crackdown
anyway.

Well, well. For years, Democrats -- including
Senator Obama -- have been howling about the
"politicization" of the EPA, which has nominally

been part of the Bush Administration.

The complaint has been that the White House blocked

EPA bureaucrats from making the so-called
"endangerment finding" on carbon. Now it turns out

that a President Obama would himself wield such a

finding as a political bludgeon.

He plans to issue an ultimatum to Congress: Either
impose new taxes and limits on carbon that he finds
amenable, or the EPA carbon police will be let loose
to ravage the countryside.

The EPA hasn't made a secret of how it would like

to centrally plan the U.S. economy under the 1970

Clean Air Act. In a blueprint released in July,
the agency didn't exactly say it'd collectivize

the farms -- but pretty close, down to the "grass

clippings."

The EPA would monitor and regulate the
carbon emissions of "lawn and garden equipment" as

well as everything with an engine, like cars,
planes and boats. Eco-bureaucrats envision
thousands of other emissions limits on all types

of energy.

Coal-fired power and other fossil fuels
would be ruled out of existence, while all other

prices would rise as the huge economic costs of

the new regime were passed down the energy chain

to consumers.

These costs would far exceed the burden of a
straight carbon tax or cap-and-trade system
enacted by Congress, because the Clean Air Act was

never written to apply to carbon and other
greenhouse gases.

It's like trying to do brain surgery with a butter knife.
Mr. Obama wants to move ahead anyway because
he knows that the costs of any carbon program will
be high. He knows, too, that Congress -- even with
strongly Democratic majorities -- might still balk at
supporting tax increases on their constituents, even
if it is done in the name of global warming.

Climate-change politics don't break cleanly along

partisan lines. The burden of a carbon clampdown

will fall disproportionately on some states over

others, especially the 25 interior states that get

more than 50% of their electricity from coal.

Rustbelt manufacturing states like Ohio, Michigan

and Pennsylvania will get hit hard too. Once
President Bush leaves office, the coastal
Democrats pushing hardest for a climate change
program might find their colleagues splitting off,

especially after they vote for a huge tax increase

on incomes.

Thus Messrs. Obama and Grumet want to invoke a
political deus ex machina driven by a faulty
interpretation of the Clean Air Act to force
Congress's hand.

Mr. Obama and Democrats can then
tell Americans that Congress must act to tax and

regulate carbon to save the country from even
worse bureaucratic consequences. It's Mr. Obama's

version of Jack Benny's old "your money or your

life" routine, but without the punch line.

The strategy is most notable for what it says
about the climate-change lobby and its new
standard bearer. Supposedly global warming is the

transcendent challenge of the age, but Mr. Obama

evidently doesn't believe he'll be able to
convince his own party to do something about it

without a bureaucratic ultimatum.

Mr. Grumet justified it this way: "The U.S. has to
move quickly domestically ... We cannot have a
meaningful impact in the international discussion

until we develop a meaningful domestic consensus."

Normally a democracy reaches consensus through
political debate and persuasion, but apparently

for Mr. Obama that option is merely a nuisance.

It's another example of "change" you'll be given

no choice but to believe in.

No need to start another post on this stuff.....So I am moving it in here......

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, 'What is Politics?'

Dad says, 'Well son, let me try to explain it this way:

I am the head of the family , so call me The President.

Your mother is the administrator of the money, so! we call her the
Government.

We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you
the People.


The nanny, we will consider her the
Working Class.

And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.

Now think about that and see if it makes sense.'

So the little boy! Goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.

Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to
check on him.

He finds that the baby has severely
soiled his diaper.

So the little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his mother asleep.

Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room Finding the door
locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the
nanny.
He gives up and goes back to bed.

The next morning, the little boy says to his father, 'Dad, I think I
understand the concept of politics now.'

The father says, 'Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think
politics is all about.'

The little boy replies,
'The President is screwing the Working Class while the Government is
sound asleep.
The People are being ignored and the
Future is in deep sh!t.

The Associated Press: AP: Obama aunt from Kenya living in US illegally

AP: Obama aunt from Kenya living in US illegally
By EILEEN SULLIVAN and ELLIOT SPAGAT – 32 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — Barack Obama's aunt, a Kenyan woman who has been quietly living in public housing in Boston, is in the United States illegally after an immigration judge rejected her request for asylum four years ago, The Associated Press has learned.

Zeituni Onyango, 56, referred to as "Aunti Zeituni" in Obama's memoir, was instructed to leave the United States by a U.S. immigration judge who denied her asylum request, a person familiar with the matter told the AP late Friday. This person spoke on condition of anonymity because no one was authorized to discuss Onyango's case.

Information about the deportation case was disclosed and confirmed by two separate sources, one of them a federal law enforcment official. The information they made available is known to officials in the federal government, but the AP could not establish whether anyone at a political level in the Bush administration or in the McCain campaign had been involved in its release.

Onyango's refusal to leave the country would represent an administrative, non-criminal violation of U.S. immigration law, meaning such cases are handled outside the criminal court system. Estimates vary, but many experts believe there are more than 10 million such immigrants in the United States.

The AP could not reach Onyango immediately for comment. No one answered the telephone number listed in her name late Friday. It was unclear why her request for asylum was rejected in 2004.

Onyango is not a relative whom Obama has discussed in campaign appearances and, unlike Obama's father and grandmother, is not someone who has been part of the public discussion about his personal life.

A spokeswoman for U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, Kelly Nantel, said the government does not comment on an individual's citizenship status or immigration case.

Onyango's case — coming to light just days before the presidential election — led to an unusual nationwide directive within Immigrations and Customs Enforcement requiring any deportations prior to Tuesday's election to be approved at least at the level of ICE regional directors, the U.S. law enforcement official told the AP.

The unusual directive suggests that the Bush administration is sensitive to the political implications of Onyango's case coming to light so close to the election.

Kenya is in eastern Africa between Somalia and Tanzania. The country has been fractured in violence in recent years, including a period of two months of bloodshed after December 2007 that killed 1,500 people.

The disclosure about Onyango came just one day after Obama's presidential campaign confirmed to the Times of London that Onyango, who has lived quietly in public housing in South Boston for five years, was Obama's half aunt on his father's side.

It was not immediately clear how Onyango might have qualified for public housing with a standing deportation order.
