  • Obama’s Thriller

    Posted by: Illmatic

    I just wanna say thank you to all my supporters and subscribers who have been with me thus far. This is the biggest parody I’ve done so far and I couldn’t have gotten this far without you guys 🙂 I made this video as a parody of the ‘scuffle’ situation between President Barack Obama and Fox News.

  • A Grouchy Public Sticking with Obama

    President Barack Obama still has the approval of a majority of Americans, but it’s an increasingly pessimistic nation.

  • House Health Bill Unacceptable to Many in Senate

    Don’t look for the Senate to quickly follow the House on health care overhaul. A government health insurance plan included in the House bill is unacceptable to a few Democratic moderates who hold the balance of power in the Senate. They’re locked in a battle with liberals, with the fate of President Barack Obama’s signature issue at stake.

  • Republicans Make Significant Gains After Long Drought

    Suddenly being Republican is a whole lot more satisfying than it has been for a long time. On Tuesday, the Grand Old Party won gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey, largely with the help of the very Independent voters who gave President Barack Obama his historic victory in 2008.

  • White House: 650,000 Jobs in New Stimulus Report

    More than 650,000 jobs have been saved or created under President Barack Obama’s economic stimulus plan, the White House said Friday, saying it is on track to reach the president’s goal of 3.5 million jobs by the end of next year.

  • Key Senators May Rebuff Obama on Health Care

    The Democrats’ control of a hefty majority in the Senate – plus the House – would suggest that President Barack Obama is within reach of overhauling the nation’s health care system this fall.

  • Raj Rajaratnam: Who Is He?

    Filed under: , , ,

    Only the latest white collar crook to be arrested and charged with insider trading in the stock of companies including HIlton, Clearwire and Google. The founder of Galleon Group, a major hedge fund and worth $1.3 billion is (or if perhaps found guilty WAS) the world’s 559th most richest person (according to Forbes), The Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested 52-year-old Rajaratnam and five others on Friday in New York.

    The other money-mongering suspects include:

    +Danielle Chiesi, employee of New Castle Funds formerly the equity hedge fund group of Bear Stearns Asset Management

    +Mark Kurland, New Castle executive

    +Rajiv Goel of Intel Capital

    +Anil Kumar, director at McKinsey & Co., management consulting firm

    +Robert Moffat, executive at IBM

    What else do we know about the ringleader? Although a democrat and financial supporter of both Barack Obama’s campaign for presidency and several of Hilary Clinton’s; among the disturbing facts revealed is that Rajaratnam is said to have funded the Sri Lankan noxious terrorist group Tamil Tigers.
    .

    Illegal insider trading is a capital offense. It is a greedy violation believed to raise the cost of capital for securities issuers, thus decreasing overall economic growth. As if the world’s economy isn’t suffering enough. The financial penalties for such a crime could amount to as much as three times the amount gained or the loss avoided from illegal trading, not to mention the perpetual prison timeinsider trading. In this case the founder of the Galleon Hedge Fund is said to have garnered in excess of $20 million. His bail was set at $100 million to be secured by $20 million in collateral. Do the math. Crime NEVER pays.

  • AP Poll: HealthCare Overhaul Has a Pulse

    The fever has broken. The patient is out of intensive care. But if you’re President Barack Obama, you can’t stop pacing the waiting room. Health care overhaul is still in guarded condition.

  • Michelle Obama Inspires Women To Achieve Higher Education

    Michelle Obama Inspires Women To Achieve Higher Education

    On January 20th this nation witnessed history with the inauguration of the 44th President Barrack Obama. A Black Man had been voted into office to represent our nation. Also of note, was the fact that the country was in a bad way from one of the worst economic eras in U.S. History. While these events have had an impact on the world at large to variable degrees, one portion of U.S. residents have been deeply affected by the implications. Woman, and African American women in specific, have been profoundly struck by the impression of the First Family and Michelle Obama. On the day of victory, when she strode out on the stage to be by her husband, President-Elect Barack Obama’s side, women could not help but acknowledge her poise, confidence and grace. She was an inspiration to all women; black, white or brown.  Michelle Obama exemplifies all that embodies a woman and achieved soul. She is a exquisite mother, a nurturing provider, as well as a lawyer, executive, and public servant. A professional and domestic winner by any measure.

    During her many speeches, Michelle Obama encourages women to validate themselves, their intelligence, and home values. She advises them to seek additional education in an effort to insure better job opportunities. She is a superior model of how a woman can juggle parenthood along with other social responsibilities. (Her appointments by far surpassing that of most women on a daily basis). She is visible proof that woman can achieve anything they put their minds to. She has been cited as stating “…being a good mother isn’t all about sacrificing. It’s really investing and putting yourself higher on your priority list.”

    A alumnus of Princeton University and Harvard Law School, Michelle Obama recognizes the importance of educational activity.  She avidly endorses President Barack Obama’s educational scholarship programs, (himself a recipient of several scholarships and student loans) and has cited papers from census bureau data that shows improved education frequently results in stronger earning power. In fact, prior to becoming the First Lady, Michelle Obama was vice-president of Community and External Affairs at the University of Chicago. Under her direction, enrollment and participation of women in the residential area sky rocketed. Without surprise, many women adopted her mindset and studied careers in the field of law.

    In these terrible economical trials, there are few industries poised for increase. Any legal field, and specifically, employment in the criminal justice field, will remain stable or grow at times of domestic fiscal downturns.  With less occupations and opportunities available, more people embrace to crime. Its an calamitous turn of events, but it presents an opportunity to take action on plans being proposed and supported by the Michelle Obama.
