SLOWLY BUT SURELY



From Stratfor:

"Chaos is sweeping the Arab world. Tunisia is in political disarray and can barely control its borders. Libya hardly exists: Tripoli is not the capital of a country but the weak point of arbitration for tribes and militias in far-flung desert reaches. Egypt wallows in a political stasis in which the government has trouble functioning, ideological divisions between the military and Islamists split the country and guns and vigilantism abound. The Sinai Peninsula has become a mini-Afghanistan. The government of Yemen may on a good day control half of its territory. Syria is in a full-fledged civil war with over 100,000 dead. Iraq, too, barely exists as a state and low-intensity violence there is a feature of life. Bahrain and Jordan are much weakened states compared to previous decades. Significantly, none of this anywhere will be solved anytime soon."


To all those alarmists who constantly fear catastrophe for Israel is around the corner, time for a reality check.

"Peace" negotiations with the PLO are nothing more than Israel Aligning itself with The Egyptian military and secular Palestinians (The Palestinian Authority) against Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. It is in Israel's interest to crush Hamas and align itself against Muslim extremism in all its forms. As for a "peace" agreement, it won't be worth the paper its written on, but will serve the purpose of implementing the above. Imagine a Hamas takeover of Judea and Samaria.

This chaos is a huge problem for the US and Europe. The turmoil has turned into a breeding ground for terrorism and will strike into the heart of democracies around the world. Israel has for decades warned the world that Islamic terrorism is not an Israeli, but an international problem. Israel has, since and before inception been fighting this war, mostly alone. I'm sure that Obama would haul Mubarak out from under the bus in a flash if he could. If "good guy" Obama is contemplating his legacy, about right now he should be a worried fellow.

More than anyone, The Russians appear to have a handle on reality. One of Russia's ultimate concerns is the spread of Islamic terrorism in the countries surrounding Mother Russia. The best way of creating a buffer is to ensure that Assad and his shiite partners stay strong against the Sunni aggressors, thus spawning a Sunni - Shiite confrontation across the Islamic world. Israel does not necessarily disagree with this stratagem.

Bottom line is that sooner or later the religion of hatred and intolerance will divide into Sunni and Shiite, religious and secular, arab and non-arab groupings prior to all camps having a full go at each other. This, while the infidel world watches and conspires how to profit from this showdown.

The Miracle Continues...Walk Tall Israel


1.Taking aim at cancer: Israeli-Danish team finds a new way to zap malignant cells

According to a series of experiments by a team at the Ariel University Center, the treatment significantly limits damage to healthy cells, to the point where doctors are able to “turn up the heat” on cancerous cells and destroy them far more effectively. The results of this very early-stage research has meant that the project has already received funding from several foundations, including the Carlsberg Foundation and Denmark’s Fraenkel Foundation, which supports research in cardiology and cancer treatment.

2.It's the what that matters, not the why

Guy Seeman: When asked the question, “Why does Israel spend thousands a month on Haiti?” I find myself at a loss of words. The same question could be asked when we talk about Nepal, El Salvador, Malawi, Chad, East Timor and so on. The number of countries with Israeli development teams in 2011 was approximately 110. For a country with only 7.7 million inhabitants and a GDP of 242 billion dollars, that is quite impressive.

COMMENT: I'm impressed!

3.Israeli Innovation Hopes To Make Water Drinkable In Africa


In a world where freshwater resources are becoming increasingly scarce, Israel–a country that is two-thirds arid–has become a leader in developing the necessary technology for making salt water potable. The Israeli desalination company, IDE Technologies, which has been in operation for more than 40 years, has made many advances in desalination technology, installing over 400 desalination plants in 40 countries including the Caribbean Islands and United States. IDE Technologies has also won major contracts with Cyprus, India and Australia, and last year with China.


4."Reuters": Israel to mass produce cardboard bicycles

The durable bicycle, will have no metals parts and retail for $20.
Izhar Gafni, 50, an Israeli inventor, amateur cyclist and expert in designing automated mass-production lines is the man behind the revolutionary idea. He told "Reuters" that after much trial and error, his latest prototype has now proven itself and mass production will begin in a few months.

5. TAU-led project maps out first brain ‘atlas’


The healthy brains of 120 living people – not members of the Knesset, but other Israelis and some Europeans – have been scanned with a magnetic resonance instrument (MRI) to build the world’s first “atlas” of the microstructure of white matter. Led by Prof. Yaniv Assaf of Tel Aviv University’s neurobiology department and the Sagol School of Neuroscience, the CONNECT project could eventually help identify the first signs of neurological and psychiatric diseases at an early stage in life so they could be treated early on. Read more: http://www.jpost.com/Health/Article.aspx?id=288131

COMMENT: The MRI would probably self destruct if requested to map The brains of Ahminedjad and the Mullahs of Iran.

6.Traitor or Hero? Christian Arab in IDF Makes History


On Wednesday night, a twenty year old Christian Arab is set to make history, as she becomes the first female Arab commander of an IDF combat unit.  Mona Abdo, who grew up in Haifa, but now lives in Kiryat Haim, will take her place at the graduation ceremony for the IDF commanders training course, where surrounded by family and fellow Jewish Israeli soldiers, she will become a commander in Caracal, the first of her sector to ever accomplish something of this magnitude.

COMMENT: Any bets you wont see or hear of this on CNN!

7. Russia protects Israel from UNESCO condemnations


Russia’s envoy to the United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) intervened on Wednesday to defer voting on a series of condemnations of Israel.
UNESCO was due to vote on five resolutions condemning Israel proposed by Jordan, the Palestinian Authority and Syria. Read more: http://www.timesofisrael.com/russia-protects-israel-from-unesco-condemnations/

COMMENT: It's worth noting the slow movement by Russia towards Israel after the visit by Putin earlier this year.

The Miracle Continues...Walk Tall Israel


1. Israeli wins World Food Prize for 1st time in history


The World Food Prize Foundation, in the presence of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, announced Prof. Hillel as this year’s winner of the World Food Prize at a ceremony in Washington. Established in 1987 by Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Norman Borlaug, the $250,000 prize recognizes “individuals who have contributed landmark achievements in increasing the quality, quantity or availability of food in the world.” Read more http://www.jpost.com/NationalNews/Article.aspx?id=273671


2. Foreign direct investment in Israel doubles

According to the UN World Investment Report, investment in Israel totaled $11.37 billion in 2011, 106% more than in 2010. COMMENT: The numbers speak for themselves. Must be all that cash that was intended for Egypt and Syria.

3.IAI signs 2 Italian contracts for $932m

IAI will supply the Italian Air Force with two G-550 Gulfstream airborne early warning planes and an observation satellite. IAI president & CEO Joseph Weiss said, "Italy is an important European country and we are proud of strengthening our relationship with it. The Airborne Early Warning aircraft and the observation satellite are two of IAI's strategic products. Beyond the financial and occupational aspects, this deal represents a significant collaboration with the European industry."

4.Honeywell awarded $735m Israeli jet trainer engine contract

Honeywell Inc. (NYSE: HON) has announced that it has been awarded a $735 million contract by Israel's Ministry of Defense for jet trainer engines, through its unit International Turbine Engine Company LLC, a joint venture with Aerospace Industrial Development Corp. 

COMMENT: Looks like Israel is a full partner in this partnership.

5.Majors vie for stake in Leviathan gas field

Avner Oil, Delek Drilling, and Ratio say they have offers from leading international gas companies for up to 30% of their rights in the field. Market sources believe that French oil major Total SA and Russia's Gazprom JSC are in a race to acquire rights to Leviathan, which is the largest natural gas discovery of the past decade. Gazprom's interest in Leviathan would be to prevent competition to its own hold on the European natural gas market. 

COMMENT: We wonder how the Palestinian arabs are viewing these developments.

6. S&P affirms Israel's rating

International credit rating agency Standard and Poor's has affirmed its foreign currency sovereign credit ratings on Israel at A+/A-1, and its local currency ratings at AA-/A-1+, with a stable outlook. In its announcement, S&P said, "The Israeli economy continues to generate solid economic growth and enjoy a net external asset position, even though the current account has temporarily turned negative. The stable outlook reflects our view that there is sufficient political will to prevent a sizable increase in the government's debt burden, and that major security risks will be contained."

COMMENT: Israel continues upwards and outwards. On the other hand, though..Israel's enemies....At the bottom of the barrel....big time!

7. IAI in $958m Indian UAV upgrade deal 

The Indian media reports Israel Aerospace Industries will upgrade Searcher and Heron UAVs for the Indian armed forces. Collaboration between the Indian armed services and IAI has greatly expanded in recent years. Deals include a $1.4 billion contract signed two years ago for the supply of Barak ship defence missiles and other systems. IAI refused to respond to the report.

COMMENT: How the world has changed over the last decades. Anybody remember Arafat at the UN, gun at hip and holding up the olive branch, threatening..."dont let the olive branch fall from my hand". So where is Arafat today? And where is Israel!

The Peanut Gallery

Statements, comments and forecasts that have no substance, but just might turn out to be relevant.

1. Intelligence sources are now confirming that the Obama administration knew from day one that that the deadly attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was an act of terror. White House officials, including President Obama, have held to the explanation that the attack was a 'spontaneous action.' PG: What does that say about this incumbent president? Clearly his priorities are Obama first, Obama second and Obama third.

2.A chill is wafting over France’s business class as Mr. Hollande, the country’s first Socialist president since François Mitterrand in the 1980s, presses a manifesto of patriotism to “pay extra tax to get the country back on its feet again.” The 75 percent tax proposal, which Parliament plans to take up in September, is ostensibly aimed at bolstering French finances as Europe’s long-running debt crisis intensifies. PG: Another Greece, Spain and Italy. The French will be leaving in droves...or maybe just their money.

3.Al Qaeda is alive and well...even strengthening. The attack on the US embassy in Benghazi is symbolic of this administration's disintegrating foreign policy. Benghazi was the centre of opposition to Ghadaffi and NATO's HQ in the overthrow of Ghadaffi. In spite of Obama's attempt to portray this as a demonstration gone wrong, intelligence sources now say this was a well planned attack. PG: The irony of all this is that Nato created a no-fly zone on the basis of Human rights etc. and Libya has turned into a hotbed of armed gangs, salafist thugs and tribal wars.

4.Daniel Pipes: Fleming Rose, a newspaper editor, created the greatest crisis for Denmark since World War II by publishing twelve Muhammad cartoons. Florida pastor Terry Jones caused panic for American commanders in Afghanistan by threatening to burn a Koran. Nakoula Basseley Nakoula and friends prompted a crisis in U.S. relations with Egypt with an amateurish video, Innocence of Muslims. By publishing vulgar pictures of Muhammad, French weekly Charlie Hebdo is causing the French government temporarily to shut down diplomatic missions in twenty countries. Plans by the German satirical magazine Titanic to publish attacks on Muhammad have likewise caused German missions to be closed. PG: US withdrawal from Iraq, withdrawal plans from Afghanistan and western weakness over Iran are creating a vacuum in the area that will bring Islamic Jihad to the shores of Europe, Canada and the US.

5.Tax returns for 2011 set to be released today by Mitt and Ann Romney reveal that they gave away a higher percentage of their income to others than did Barack and Michelle Obama, when both taxes and charity are taken into account. The evidence suggests that Romney not only had nothing to hide, but had been more than generous with his money. 

6. Fouad Ajami: The anti-American protests that broke upon 20 nations this past week must be reckoned a grand personal failure for Barack Obama, and a case of hubris undone.No American president before this one had proclaimed such intimacy with a world that stretches from Morocco to Indonesia. From the start of his administration, Mr. Obama put forth his own biography as a bridge to those aggrieved nations. He would be a "different president," he promised, and the years he lived among Muslims would acquit him—and thus America itself. He was the un-Bush. PG: Fouad Ajami was a CNN analyst and guest during the outbreak of the arab spring. He no longer is called upon. It is an unwelcome scenario to tell the truth on CNN.

7. WSJ: "Unacceptable" is a word the Administration often uses about behavior it doesn't like but isn't prepared to do much to stop: Think massacres in Syria, warfare in Sudan, mob violence against our embassies—or a nuclear Iran. Now add to the list the nonfeasance of an Iraqi government that calculates it has more to lose from confronting the mullahs than it does from rejecting entreaties from erstwhile friends in Washington. PG: Showing B Obama the finger is now a world wide fashion.

8.China is slowly but surely slipping into a recession. This year the Shanghai stock market has given a lower return than the the Greek stock Exchange.  The global village is in danger of sliding into the precipice. This has to be closely watched.

9.A Carson City, Nev., recluse whose body was found in his home at least a month after he died left only $200 in his bank account. But as Walter Samaszko Jr.'s house was being cleared for sale, officials made a surprise discovery: gold bars and coins valued at $7 million. "Nobody had any clue he was hoarding the gold," Carson City Clerk-Recorder Alan Glover told the Las Vegas Sun, adding it was found stored in boxes in the house and garage.

The Peanut Gallery

Statements, comments and forecasts that have no substance, but just might turn out to be relevant.


1. Anybody who believes that Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, visited Israel to honour a statue of some Russian unknown, must be pretty naive. After he departed, nearly all his entourage stayed behind to negotiate gas and oil deals, arms purchases and other unnamed    contracts. This follows the visits by senior government officials from India and China, and a military delegation of generals from Brazil. PG: It looks like Moses did choose the correct  destination for the Tribes of Israel. 


2. More and more Americans are giving up their US citizenship, apparently for tax reasons. The latest is Eduardo Saverin of Facebook and former Clinton supporter, Denise Rich. PG:  A side effect of government and the policy of robbing Peter to pay Paul.


3.The New York Times has fallen on hard times. Their stock has fallen by about 70% over the last few years and their readership is shrinking. Similar to CNN. A comment in the Jerusalem Post: "At least the NYT is consistent. In the 1930s they buried stories about Kristallnacht and the coming Shoah. They opposed Israel's independence and supported the British policy of preventing survivors reaching Palestinian shores. They called for retreat from Sinai in 1956, restraint on June 4th, 1967, and a cease-fire when Israel was routing Egypt's army in the Yom Kippur War. Let the NYT be dam*ed and let us hope that no Israeli "leader" ever listens to them."


4.The case of Shakil Afridi, the Pakistani doctor imprisoned after helping the CIA track Usama bin Laden, hasn't fallen by the wayside just yet. Sen. Rand Paul claims to have enough support to force a vote on the Senate floor later this month on a bill stripping Pakistan of U.S. aid unless Afridi is released. PG: If anyone needed more conviction that Barack Obama cares only about his re-election, and that he only has moral fibre when the concern is himself....this is it.


5.The Democratic leader of the Senate Intelligence Committee said Monday that the White House appears to be responsible for some leaks of classified information.
"I think the White House has to understand that some of this is coming from their ranks," Sen. Dianne Feinstein told a World Affairs Council forum. PG: The worst kept secret in Washington. As if Obama has no idea who is doing this. He's the only one who benefits.


6.As thick as thieves. Egypt's Mursi has put Hamas's Mashaal on an equal footing with heads of state, thus granting legitimacy not only to the Hamas leader but to its entire movement. Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, has also been officially invited to the Presidential Palace in Cairo. PG: Another Obama human rights success.


7. As the US economy stalls, the Fed is getting closer to an official QE3. The only question is whether it will be before or after November. PG: We wonder what they are hoping to achieve? Maybe to hold up a flagging economy until elections, in the hope that the politicians will come with an economic plan, sooner rather than later. The other question one needs to ponder: What happens if the stock market reacts negatively to QE 3. This would be the final straw. We advise caution. Not much ammunition left.


8.CLIC: Saudi Arabia does not have any Israeli checkpoints, walls, or soldiers patrolling their borders. Instead it has oil sloshing up from the ground to the tune of one-fifth of the world's petroleum reserves. So how does one explain the fact that the IMF puts Saudi Arabia 13 spots behind Israel when it comes to GDP. The World Bank puts it 8 places behind Israel. The only Muslim countries with a better GDP Per Capita rating than Israel are small monarchies drowning in oil. PG: If Muslims fail in the West Bank, then Israeli checkpoints are to blame. If they fail in Canada, Australia and Europe, then racism is to blame. But if they fail in Pakistan, Somalia and Saudi Arabia-who is to blame?

Statements, comments and forecasts that have no substance, but just might turn out to be relevant.


1.Please look at the following economic statistics. Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida, New Jersey and Iowa all have strongly improving employment rates and job growth.  All these States have cut taxes, trimmed state budgets and regulations, and, in some cases,  challenged labor unions. All these states are led by Republican Governors. PG: No amount of spin can change these facts.


2.Robert Wood, acting head of the US mission to the International Atomic Energy Agency, also told the IAEA's 35-nation board that Iran had produced enough low-enriched uranium for several nuclear weapons if refined further to high levels. "Iran has actually accelerated its production of low-enriched uranium," Wood said, according to a copy of his statement. "There appears no immediate peaceful need for such stockpiles or for such an acceleration of the program, and we would note that this quantity of low-enriched uranium is enough for several nuclear weapons if further enriched to higher levels." PG: Obama appears to have his head in the clouds.


3.U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on June 7 condemned a reported mass killing near Hama and said that Syrian President Bashar al Assad needs to step down from power and leave Syria, Reuters reported. The United States will work with all members of the U.N. Security Council, Clinton said, on a conference over Syria's future. The conference would have to start with the premise that democratic government would replace al Assad, she said, adding that "we are disgusted by what we are seeing." PG: Clearly Hillary hasn't  learned a thing from her blundering boss. Closer to the truth might be that the Clinton Foundation is supported by Saudi funds and it is a major Saudi interest to see Assad go. Democracy? Really? After all that has happened.....


4.The US and Israel have agreed to boost their cooperation in the field of cyber warfare, the Yedioth Ahronoth daily reported Thursday. Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon and Counter-Terrorism Bureau Director Eitan Ben David met on Tuesday with Ambassador-at-Large Dan Benjamin, who heads the State Department's Bureau of Counterterrorism. The officials agreed that cyber experts from both countries would meet regularly. PG: The world will never be the same again. Brainpower emanating from free economies will lead the way.


5. Governor Scott Walker shocked the Dems and Peggy Noonan in the WSJ says: Down the road there will be fewer contracts in which you work for, say, 23 years for a city, then retire with full salary and free health care for the rest of your life—paid for by taxpayers who cannot afford such plans for themselves, and who sometimes have no pension at all. The big meaning of Wisconsin is that a public injustice is in the process of being righted because a public mood is changing. PG: Never a truer word. 


6.PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii –  The commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet said Monday the Navy will be sending its most advanced vessels and aircraft to the Asia-Pacific region as it builds up its presence by assigning most of its fleet there. Adm. Cecil Haney said a policy recently outlined by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta to deploy 60 percent of the Navy's ships fleet to the Pacific by 2020 is about capabilities as well as quantity. PG: We find the move out of the Middle East and into the Asia-pacific region to be a major indicator of where US priorities will lie in the not too distant future. And it's not energy related!


7.Hong Kong should review its U.S. dollar peg and consider linking its currency to the renminbi, according to Joseph Yam, former head of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. Mr. Yam, who ran Hong Kong’s de facto central bank for 16 years until 2009, is the most influential person to suggest such a move. Ending the U.S. dollar peg after nearly three decades would be hugely symbolic as a sign of China’s increasing economic dominance in Asia. PG: Sign of the times.


8.Greeks pulled their cash out of the banks and stocked up with food ahead of a cliffhanger election on Sunday that many fear will result in the country being forced out of the euro. Bankers said up to 800 million euros ($1 billion) were leaving major banks daily and retailers said some of the money was being used to buy pasta and canned goods, as fears of returning to the drachma were fanned by rumors that a radical leftist leader may win the election. PG: Ladies and gentlemen, this is what European social democracy has led to. One must be really naive to think that Barak Obama is any different. 


9.The California congressman who's made the plight of jailed Pakistani doctor Shakil Afridi a personal cause said Monday he's concerned the case has fallen off the radar screen -- and that without U.S. intervention, the man credited with helping track Usama bin Laden will be left to "suffer in a dungeon."  Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., was among the many U.S. officials outraged last month after Afridi was sentenced to 33 years in prison. PG: We have news for you congresswoman, As far as Obama is concerned, Afridi has served his election purpose and can be left to rot in a dungeon. The man was outed by a leak to the NY Times...one of the many leaks that the White House denies they sourced. 


10.When you see the X-ray, you cannot help but cringe and hope something like this never, ever, happens to you. A three-foot long steel shaft with stainless steel tips, shot from a spear-gun, perfectly stuck in a teenager’s skull, entering one inch above his right eye, through his brain, and exiting the back of his head.  Read more http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/news/2012/06/19/florida-teen-survives-spear-through-head/?test=latestnews

The Nightmare

If you love your children, think hard and long about this president. Long after we leave this planet, they and their children will inherit his legacy.

Another four years of this president, is surely humankind's biggest political nightmare. The inventory of mismanagement is so long, one wonders where to start and how to prioritize the list. Where does one start  first? Obama the world citizen, Obama the economic leader or Obama the con artist? Another question that jumps to mind is how does somebody with no track record, zero achievement and armed with a disarming smile and a gift of the gab become president of the US? Really, has Hollywood become so much part of the US psyche that millions of Americans were duped into thinking that an amateur with no credentials could run the worlds most powerful country?

Lets begin with achievements on the foreign policy front. The arab spring immediately jumps to mind. In less time than it takes to say "Jack Robinson!"this President chose his leftist version of human rights and democracy, and threw US Ally Mubarak under the bus. The consequence of this action has left tens of thousands homeless and dead as civil wars and uprisings pepper the Middle East. We are now looking at a new Muslim Brotherhood dominated Middle east. All the beautiful prose about democracy and change on CNN has disappeared. Next "achievement"was the liberation of Libya and the death of that "monster" Gaddafi. Today Libya is a lawless no man's land controlled by groups of armed thugs. Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood controlled parliament recently passed a law allowing men to have "parting" sex with their dead wives for up to six hours. The same parliament lowered the minimum age of marriage to 14. In Syria today, besides the usual run of the mill massacres of women and kids we are witnessing the latest Islamic fashion... "rape trucks" where young women are gang raped by groups of soldiers and opposition forces.

As for national security, one would think Obama pulled the trigger on Bin Laden. The only bi-partisan survivor in US politics today is the national security apparatus. Dating back to the killing of bin Laden, the administration’s intelligence apparatus has been leaking like a sieve and always on stories that cast Obama as a kind of warrior king. Since then, the leaks on national security have been so over the top that Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., at a press conference lamenting a cascade of national security leaks: “This has to stop. When people say they don't want to work with the United States because they can't trust us to keep a secret, that's serious.” As the election gets closer, we hear details of "kill Lists" and the "Stuxnet" computer virus in Iran. Now special prosecutors have been appointed to investigate leaks that are placing loyal and brave American lives in danger. Its clear who benefits from these leaks. It's not the national security apparatus, not the Republicans and definitely not the American people. 

Picture the "man of vision" Barack Obama, standing before the cameras. First he raises his head to the right. Then to the left. And then, looking down his nose like some ancient messiah, makes some wondrous philosophical statement that leaves us dumbfounded. This is followed by that marvellous white toothed smile  and everybody thinks "what a nice man!" Folks, how many times can one be played by this charlatan? He and his secretary of state Clinton have spent the last 3+ years arrogantly lecturing the Russians and Chinese on human rights. Its not what they say, but how they say it. Now these folks are giving him the finger. Same story with the US congress. (For the record, The Dems had control of both the house and the senate for two full years). And one might enquire why this is all happening? Its simple. They look at the figures and understand how badly the US economy has been mismanaged.


One does not have to be a rocket scientist to understand the figures. In the US today, it takes about $105 of debt to create $100 dollars of GDP.  And now this economic genius wants to create even more debt to support Wall Street and the banks (Yep! Believe it or not). Imagine a collapsing stock market in an election year. Of course he spins it by telling all that he is caring for the underdog. What BS! The figures speak for themselves. The National Debt has now increased more during President Obama's three years and five months in office than it did during 8 years of the George W. Bush presidency.

As part of his "Win the Future" program, Mr. Obama called for "taking responsibility for our deficits, by cutting wasteful, excessive spending wherever we find it." If Mr. Obama wins re-election, and his budget projections prove accurate, the National Debt will top $20 trillion in 2016, the final year of his second term. If GDP grows at an annual rate of 3%, it will take $120 of debt to create $100 dollars of GDP. (similar to Italy). More simply put, a household that earns $100,000 will need loans of $120,000 to support that income. Bottom line, the US is heading into bankruptcy and the American dream is becoming a nightmare.

And who is it that supports this president, besides the super elitist left media and the occupy stoners? His largest support base are the public sector unions. Let's take the average municipal worker in Wisconsin. These folks can retire after 25 years of service and continue to receive full salary and healthcare for the rest of their lives. Millions of parasites swarming all over the US economy and sucking the life out of hard working families and their children. Almost 50% of US citizens don't pay federal income taxes while Obama campaigns for the other 50% to pay their fair share. The Greek socialists would be proud of these figures.

In conclusion, its clear to anyone with an inkling of common sense that all this man cares about is re-election. If he is elected for four more years, extinguish the lights. The nightmare will quickly metamorphose into reality.

There is hardly any mental misery worse than that of having our own serious phrases, our own rooted beliefs, caricatured by a charlatan or a hireling - George Eliot
