Warren-Obama Double-cross Ticket

The 2016 Presidential Race has already left the starting gate with the donkeys running neck and neck around the track. Obama jumps out of the bleachers to trip donkey Hillary down to knock her out of contention--it's race over for Hillary! The crowd goes wild, then goes silent; who's left in the race? Up from behind gallops the dark horse Donkey Warren who comes down to the wire and the crowds are still. They are now all thinking, do we now want to go still further to the left of the left-wing Obama socialist programs?

The behind the scenes deal cut before the Obama first term was that in exchange forIn 2016 Hillary & Bill will settle the score this time. the Clintons lending a hand to boost his chances to win that Obama would do the same for Hillary when her time came up. Behind the scenes, the hatred between the two has grown into irreconcilable contemptuous disdain with little love lost--now enter Senator Elizabeth Warren. Obama has made it no secret that he favors Warren as the politician that closely follows his socialist values for bigger central government.

Campaign finance, the mother's milk of politics, is flowing in with big bucks on Hillary, but all bets are off if all this brewing consternation spills out into mainstream conversation. Up to now, the DNC boasts about party solidarity while describing the RNC as a rag-tag disconnected group with no real candidates yet on the horizon. This upcoming Presidential Election will be the most expensive campaign ever with $1 Billion spent by both sides. So the stakes will be high as well as the expectations to get it right early; time is of the essence to select prospective candidates with a minimum of partisan bloodletting.

It appears that the Democrat machine will be well-financed as Obama flies around the country doing fundraising events. The Campaigner-in-Chief does what he does best as a community organizer, he knows how to panhandle for money anywhere. The real crux is if he pushes his choice with real hardball backroom 'Chicago style' politics he further elevates the rhetoric--let the blood flow into the streets.

This 2016 election season is certainly starting early in this cycle so that candidates risk over-exposure that will bore the public, a real vote killer at the ballot box. After all, the electorate today is a desktop computer, hand-held PDA, cell phone society that prefers tweets, instant messaging, text messaging and emails to talking. All news and events are instantaneously recorded and reported to the world literally within seconds. The age of electronics has turned the electorate into 24/7 cell phone junkies looking for the next high to stimulate their interest, their 'virtual' attention span is shorter which adds to voter burnout. So, their political knowledge distills down to 10 second sound bites between commercials and the crafty, deceitful politicians know how to manipulate those minds-sad. ...Looks like Game Over for the Thinking Voter!

Father Knows Best Reset in 2016 Elections

Time 00.26

As the Presidential possibilities surface as the 2016 Presidential Elections loom, the talk around the water cooler lately is, "How about Mitt Romney?" As much as I hate to admit it, it's a little like another 1950's season of "Father Knows Best" reruns and in this case it's retreads. Robert Young as Jim Anderson is the perfect family man and father. We already know Mitt is a great family man and husband who owns a private equity firm called Bain Capital, which turns around distressed companies. Mitt had his bite at the apple and it's over. Really, it is time for the Republican Party to seek fresh faces and young energy to run the White House, 24/7, Chief Executive position--it's time for new blood, not 'Nick at Nite" reruns or in this case "Mitt at Nite."

This same advice is held out for Governor Jeb Bush and other old guard Republicans who are not up to really fighting hard hitting progressive, liberal candidates of today. Their ideas are 'also-ran' programs as moderate candidates is to just continue the tax and spend mentality of a powerful central government. It is time for tough love for the Republican party and to a transition period for more conservative values and constitutional approaches to shrink the government and its insidious regulations.

This admission by many Conservatives and Republicans, I am sure, is putting a pause into the Democrat plutocrats on whether another retread from the past like Hillary Clinton can run another major race too. After all, she will be 69 years old in 2016 like Reagan was in 1981 in his first term. There were many meetings that are well documented of the POTUS, Reagan, cat-napping during some of the tedious daily staff meetings. Hillary will be no different. Just look at Bill and Hill as they snooze during a ceremony--it's the first time in quite awhile they have slept together! 

The comparison is often made when critics and allies debate whether Hillary has the health to serve out two presidential terms. After she suffered brain damage after falling in December 2012, see ABC News GMA Report, former president Clinton revealed that his wife’s injury “required six months of very serious work to get over,” he said during a question-and-answer session at the Peterson Foundation in Washington. But, Bill Clinton’s timeline appears to differ from official comments from the State Department at the time that she soon bounced right back into work. Who do we believe?

After all, Hillary fainted and hit her head in a fall at home. It incapacitated her for nearly six months which delayed her attendance at the Benghazi Congressional hearings and conduct any state business according to her doctor's orders to reduce stress with complete rest. Let's face the truth, the fact is that the ole girl ain't what she used to be! 

It's Time for more Voter choices in Candidates for 2016!

Ready for a Obamacare Single Payer System?

 

*Federal Spending Categories – The data is published by the Congressional Budget Office, and represents the average percentage of federal spending (not including interest expense) in each of the indicated categories for the period 2011-2040. As of 2011, our actual budget 'overall discretionary spending' is 30%, which can be argued back and forth within the colorful political debates on the floor of Congress. However, our 'total mandatory spending' is 70%, mandated by law, in which 40% are Medicare and Social Security entitlements while 20% are apportioned for the Department of Defense and the Veteran's Affairs, Education and agriculture and 10% for SNAP - Food stamps and Medicaid. It is not a negotiable budget with discretionary expenses and is extremely volatile to political pressures from various special interest lobbyist groups in Washington, DC.

Please note the shift from 2011 Actual Budget period ended compared to the 2011-2040 Projected Budget pie chart shown above that indicates even more allocation to Social Security for an ever-aging population. This is where the House and Senate must work out a 'balanced budget' under our Constitutional Laws - one that both sides can finally agree upon.

The Wild Card: Affordable Healthcare Act - Obamacare is not a funded entitlement program like Medicare. Under penalty of IRS law: It is taxed and paid annually by all citizens under 65 years old for funding comprehensive health insurance coverage for all patients.

Three Affordable Healthcare Act outcomes:

1. Taxpayers fund the entire Act going forward. 

2. Taxpayers do not fund the Act entirely while running a deficit.

3. Taxpayers fail to fund Act which is converted into 'Single Payer'.

Warning: If the Affordable Healthcare Act payments from enrollee taxes fail to fund that entire program; then upon the conversion to any proposed 'Single Payer Health Care' program, all congressional budgets are bankrupt and worthless too.

Remember: The Congressional debt reduction and spending budget debates are generational due to different time horizons (age) and expected benefits (payouts). The young payers are ordered to pay higher rates under penalty of law for their IRS health tax bills to support older beneficiaries. All future payouts for their own retirement benefits, theorectically, will be paid by upcoming younger health care payers. Young payers, the 'invincibles', are very skeptical about even needing health insurance and then doubt in ever receiving those retirement benefits too.   

• Older people look at their immediate needs from retirement savings, social security, Medicare and healthcare programs.
• Younger people look at their future needs for IRA savings accounts, investments, health insurance while planning ahead with social security and Medicare programs.

Recommendation: It's time to elect a majority of Republicans in the Senate and the House in 2014 ...and for the President not working across the Congressional aisles: In the Executive branch - it's time for a  Republican there in 2016 too! 

Burt Bacharach Sings Obama Blues

I had to laugh when I picked up the Wall Street Journal today and read 'What the Songwriting World Needs Now', an opinion article by songwriter Burt Bacharach. Apparently, Burt is incensed that antiquated 1941 federal licensing laws governing vinyl records still prevail over the current world of ubiquitous headphones that can access 30 million tracks through any mobile device. Under federal consent decree only two groups, Ascap and BMI, can negotiate and collect fees for songwriters from businesses.  If the parties disagree,  the Federal Judges are the arbiters that set the value of songwriters' work--instead of the open free marketplace. Hmmn... sounds like Burt is a little too greedy here? The Hollywood liberals sure scream when government regulations affect their pocketbooks. How do liberals think that is any different with private insurance companies setting their values through government regulations with Obamacare? 

At an annual Grammy Awards Show Burt Bacharach said, "I've never seen times like we've got right now. I'm really upset. This is the future I'm leaving behind for these [my] kids, and I'm concerned. I think we've really made a mess of it. If the president had just gotten up and said, 'I made a mistake. I take full blame for it. There are no weapons of mass destruction; our information was wrong. Bear with me and we'll get through this together.' But to be stonewalled--" Bacharach shook his head. "I never like to be lied to by a girlfriend or an agent. And certainly not the president of the United States."

The Liberal Daily Kos blog then commented: "More importantly, I think Burt gave us a nice sound byte/meme to spread: "We don't like it when they are lied to by friends and family. And we certainly don't like it when we're lied to by the President."--Lather, rinse and repeat as necessary." [It deserves saying over and over again]

Those comments, by the way, were at the 2006 Grammy Awards Show during the Bush presidency--I wonder why Burt or the Daily Kos, at the least, hasn't addressed our current President Obama about his multitude of lies when he met President Obama at an awards dinner at the White House on May 9, 2012 he should have sung a medley of his song titles to get his ideas out. 

The medley might have sounded like: Barack always "Promises, Promises" that "Any day now" while Barack is "Always something there to Remind me" that he "Knows when to leave" as Burt swears "I'll never fall in love again" after the 2016 election when "The house is empty now" thinking "I'll say a little prayer" for "What the world needs now" is a new President in the White House.
