Obama?s Kashmir Thesis
2010-10-28 02:18:00
by Indiana Public Media Obama ?s Kashmir Thesis Obama’s Kashmir thesis Impact on  Indo-Pak  peace process By M.M.Khajooria The President elect of USA , Barack Obama  has reiterated his resolve to redeploy American troops from Iraq to Afghanistan. “well, I have said during the campaign, and I have stuck to this commitment  that as soon as I take office, I will call in the Joint Chiefs of Staff, my national security apparatus, and we will start executing a plan  that draws down troops.”  he told CBS 60 minutes In his maiden  wide ranging  interview  after  his historic win. Obama found this switch over necessary “Particularly in the light of the problems we are having in Afghanistan, which has continued to worsen , we have to shore up those efforts” he argued.  Any  focus  on Afghanistan  necessarily involved Pakistan  to whose army the USA has” out soured “ the  fight against the AL Queda.

Obama’s Islamic-Center Stance: Why the GOP Shouldn’t Run Agains
2010-10-28 02:15:00
by flynn23 Obama ’s Islamic -Center Stance: Why the GOP Shouldn’t Run Against It Post by (mbt schuhe günstig) August 2010 Dear Republican Party: Your moment is now. This weekend, President Obama defended the right of Muslims to build a community center and mosque two short blocks from Ground Zero, despite cries of insensitivity from some New Yorkers and accusations of mischief from some pundits. This finally gives you an opportunity to add a powerful national-security cudgel to the message of economic woe you have been pushing as the midterm election approaches. (See pictures of America’s Muslim community.) The political potency of the issue is obvious. Polls overwhelmingly show the President has put himself on the wrong side of public opinion. Opposition to the new facility arouses acute emotion and creates near total unity among relatives of 9/11 victims, first responders, Republican officeholders, potential 2012 presidential candidates, Tea Party members, the Fox...

Medicare History
2010-10-28 01:22:00
by onBeing Medicare History   Medicare history dates back to 1945 when President Harry Truman first asked Congress to establish a national health insurance scheme. His plan was for all people to receive comprehensive and prepaid medical insurance through the Social Security System. As the years passed, the field of recipients was narrowed until it was only social security recipients who stood to benefit. When it was discovered that only 56% of people aged 65 or older had health insurance, President John F. Kennedy lobbied for health insurance for the aged. However, the Medicare program provision of social healthcare for the poor and aged did not become law until 1965. On July 30 President Lyndon Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law as part of his “Great Society” and ex President Truman was the first person to receive a Medicare card in recognition of his role in establishing the program. Approximately 19 Million people enrolled in the system during the first ye...

Working Families Party
2010-10-28 00:28:00
by vassego Working Families Party Electoral strategy Like other minor parties in the state, the WFP benefits from New York’s electoral fusion laws that allow cross-endorsement of a single candidate by multiple parties. This allows sympathetic voters to support a minor party without feeling like they are “wasting” their vote. Usually, the WFP endorses the Democratic Party candidate, but it has occasionally endorsed Republican Party candidates in Westchester, Nassau, and Erie counties, often as a strategy for spurring bi-partisan action on its policy priorities. The party’s sometime-position at the balance of electoral power and the threat of Republican endorsement has allowed it to influence the politics of local Democratic candidates and the state Democratic party. The support of the WFP is sometimes quite important in Democratic primaries, especially in areas where the WFP has a lot of volunteers, such as Binghamton. In unusual cases, the WFP has put forwa...

What I Learned From President Obama and John Mccain
2010-10-27 23:20:00
by Barack Obama What I Learned From President Obama and John Mccain Man what a great day Nov. 4, 2008 was.  This is a day that will go down into our history books.  I don’t think I’ve ever felt as proud as I did yesterday.  I don’t think I’ve ever felt as hopeful as I did the very moment I saw 294 in the electoral votes for Barack.  Even though I got up at 5 am yesterday so that I could vote and went to bed around 2am last night, I awoke at 7am this morning because I could not sleep.  The reason I could not sleep is because I could not stop thinking about something that Barack said in his speech last night.  He said that he could not have made history if it wasn’t for his team and all of the hard work that they did on his campaign. Just think about this.  Outside of the people who live in Chicago, most of us never heard of Barack Obama until 2 years ago and today he is the President of the United States.  Our President! Can you just imagine what...

Dear Mr. Steele
2010-10-27 22:31:00
by chantal foster Dear Mr. Steele Mr. Michael SteeleChairman, Republican National Committee Mr. Steele, I am in receipt of your form letter and 2009 State of the Republican Party Survey and as has become customary on my behalf I am going to use this opportunity to address the issues specifically asked within it in a more in-depth manner than such a simple multiple choice survey allows. For your convenience and mine I have reproduced the questions asked before providing my answers. Question:“A recent national poll reported that nearly 25% of Americans want the government to pass more socialist legislation.  Do you agree or disagree?” No true American would answer that they agree with this proposed course of action.  Likewise no student of history who can clearly see the past and present horrors that socialist government in any of its many forms has suffered upon the people would answer in the affirmative unless they are so blinded by a  lust for power for themselves and contro...

Interview with Lanny Ziering, CEO of SuperStock

by cliff1066™ Interview with Lanny Ziering, CEO of SuperStock John: Lanny, I know you as one of the founders of Blend Images. Now you are CEO of SuperStock. Can you share with us a little of your background and how you came to be SuperStock’s CEO? Lanny: Well, it’s sort of a kidnapped-by-aliens story. I picked up my first camera when I was about 8 or 9 and pretty much had one in my hand all the way thru high school. I was the photo editor of my high school yearbook and determined to go to Art Center, but I kept looking at pictures taken by guys like Irving Penn, Richard Avedon and David Bailey. The more I looked, the more I thought my own pictures were total crap and would never get better. So, I sold my enlarger and my Nikon F, gave up all hope of ever meeting Jean Shrimpton, and went to UCLA where I eventually got an MBA. After B-school I had a bunch jobs of including working at MTV right after it launched. Eventually, I went to work at a TV station in LA as the program dir...

Some Dems wary of leaving out rich from tax cuts
2010-10-27 20:21:00
Some Dems wary of leaving out rich from tax cuts Congressional Democrats on asics wholesale Tuesday wrestled over whether to abandon President Barack Obama’s tax cut plan, with some House moderates joining Republicans in calling for an extension of Bush-era breaks for the wealthy as well as middle-income earners.   But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi remained solidly behind Obama’s proposal to allow tax cuts for upper-income people to expire as scheduled at the end of the year. From lunchtime into the evening, the leaders met behind closed doors with members concerned that voters would punish Democrats on Election Day if tax cuts are extended for some Americans, but not all.   “We are in listening mode,” said Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, chief of the House Democrats’ campaign committee.   What they heard Tuesday on both sides of the Capitol indicated divisions among Democrats that contrasted with stron...

Battle of the Giants ? Clinton Vs Obama
2010-10-27 19:19:00
by kate.gardiner Battle of the Giants ? Clinton Vs Obama It is Election Year in the United States of America! It will be the 56th consecutive presidential election and a very peculiar one as the Democrats’ party race for the White House has elected the first woman to run for president; Mrs. Hillary Clinton; former US First Lady; and the first African American, former Illinois State Senator; Barack Obama. As the process starts to dig deeper there are more politics attacks on both sides; especially now that Obama leads with about 130 delegates after capturing Wyoming on March 8th followed the win on March 11th during the Mississippi primary. Despite his solid campaign representation and ideas to the American people many believe Obama is the eye-centre of a race issue exampling his 90 percent win of black votes in Mississippi and just one quarter of the white vote; a common pattern seemed in the southern states. Clinton assures that if Obama was not who he is he will not be...

First, she says that experts say it is impossible to build that manynuclear plants over that period of time.

Did Sen. Barack Obama Win Mississippi Because of Race?
2008-03-12 06:57:00
From my trusty and informative listserv: The MSM keeps pointing out that the Democratic party in MS divided along racial lines when voting yesterday.  Obama was already expected to win the state because of the state's racial make-up.  However, there are a few key points that need to be brought up:   1)  It has been reported that black voters makes up 50% of the democratic voting block in MS. 2)  Obama won 61% of the vote   Had Obama only won the state 50-55%, it would be fair to say that Obama won the state because of the demographics, but Obama won the state by more than 60%.  This speaks to the message of Hope and Change that Obama is spreading across the country.  People of all races and ethnicities are voting for Barack Obama because of what he stands for and what he will enable us to do for our country.
