A Capital Gains tax is a tax charged on the profit realized from the sale of non-inventory assets that were purchased at a lower price. The Capital Gains tax affects the sale of stocks, bonds and other assets. Since Barack Obama has said that he will raise the Capital Gains tax significantly, it would stand to reason that tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of investors, will sell some - if not much or all - of their stock investments and invest in foreign stock markets where those countries are safe to invest and have a lower Capital...

4:15pm Another intervening motion was filed today in the ongoing federal suit against Barack Obama. This motion, filed pro se by "U.S. Citizen and voter" Judson Witham of Provo, Utah, is the third such motion for leave to intervene filed in this case. As I mentioned when the others were filed, I feel as though we should continue to focus our attention on the case-in-chief. Counting this and the other two intervening motions, there are now nine pending motions in the Berg v. Obama action. The others include Berg's motion for expedited discovery, Obama and the DNC's motion to dismiss,...

Pam Meister has a great interview at Family Security Matters with the plumber whose wealth Barack Obama wants to redistribute. His name is Joe Wurzelbacher. Wurzelbacher for President! Read the whole thing here. An excerpt: JW: No, there was nothing new. You know, I didn’t appreciate that, actually. PM: There’s a clip of you that’s been shown on television, and it’s all over the Internet on YouTube as well. It’s a very short clip. Do you think it accurately portrays the exchange that you had with Sen. Obama? Obviously there was more to it. JW: I haven’t seen too much...

If Obama wins then we have effectively turned control of our national defenses over to Code Pink. Our national treasury over to the Chicago mob. Our justice department to the Rainbow Coalition. Control of our elections to ACORN. Our national ministry of propaganda to HuffingtonPost, DailyKos and MoveOn (which admittedly would be an improvement over CNN/ABC/NBC/CBS/NYT/WP/AP, et al). The IRS to Charlie Rangel. Banking/Finance to Chris Dodd and Barney Frank. Housing to Tony Rezco. The new Global Warming Department to Al Gore. The State Department to Clinton, Inc. Education to NOW. The selection of our judges to the ACLU. Homeland...

The e-mails about it are flowing in, but Team Barry tells ABC and Byron York that it’s made up. If The One’s wife was going to get exercised enough about media coverage to start dialing people up herself, would it really be coverage from a web outlet no one’s heard of? Some of her “quotes” sound odd to my ear, too: QUOTE: My husband and I know that there is no law that will stop him from becoming the president, just because some American white racists are bringing up the issue of my husband’s adoption by His step father. ENDQUOTE...

On the eve of the Democratic convention, Trib colleague David M. Brown reported that Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign paid more than $800,000 to an offshoot of ACORN for services the Democrat's campaign says it “mistakenly misrepresented” in finance reports. An Obama spokesman said then that the FEC reports would be amended to show Citizens Services Inc. -- a subsidiary of ACORN -- worked in "get-out-the-vote" projects. The original FEC finance reports listed the ACORN underling activities as polling, advance work and staging major events.

Something smells at 2885 Brownlee Avenue in Columbus, Ohio. I strongly recommend that the Ohio Republican Party get on the case before it’s too late. Today’s the last day to challenge voters who registered early in Ohio before the run up to Election Day. Here’s the stench: An entire houseful of young, non-Ohioan Democrat activists have used the Brownlee Avenue address to register themselves to vote in the Buckeye State and secure absentee ballots under extremely shady circumstances — all while mobilizing a large effort to register thousands of others for absentee and early voting. The activists are leaders of...

Summit County officials are investigating voter registration forms signed by Rip Van Winkle and a handful of other questionable applicants. At least six people provided fake driver's license numbers, and one person tried to register twice, according to registration records. The registrations were conducted by the Barack Obama campaign in Summit County.

Conservatives yesterday ripped Obama after he was caught on video telling an Ohio plumber that he intends to take the profits of small-business owners and "spread the wealth around" to those with lesser incomes. The fracas over Obama's tax plan broke out Sunday outside Toledo when Joe Wurzelbacher approached the candidate. Wurzelbacher said he planned to become the owner of a small plumbing business that will take in more than the $250,000 amount at which Obama plans to begin raising tax rates. "Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn't it?" the blue-collar worker asked. ...Obama responded...

Like editors the world over used to admonish reporters at deadline: “Your lead is buried down copy”, the lead in African Press International’s (API’s) “Mrs. Obama decides enough is enough” comes well down copy: “My husband and I know that there is no law that will stop him from becoming the president, just because some American white racists are bringing up the issue of my husband’s adoption by his step father.” (Emphasis added). In other words, according to the overzealous, you’re-all-racists wife of candidate for presidency Barack Hussein Obama, the fix is already in. The candidate’s wife treated the Norway-based...

Is the lovable charismatic Barack Obama hiding the fact that he has a girlfriend? Or is he the victim of the 'Bradley Effect?' Rumors are swarming that Obama has committed adultery on Michelle Obama with a woman by the name Vera Baker. Vera baker is a staffer who worked for Barack Obama during his run for the United States Senate in 2004. Rumor has it that Michelle Obama was complaining about the supposed close friendship between Barack Obama and Vera Baker and before the public knew it, she was transferred to work at the Caribbean on the island of Martinique....

"I believe in the goodness and potential of every innocent life. I believe the truest measure of any society is how it treats those who are least able to defend and speak for themselves. And who is more vulnerable, or more innocent, than a child?" That is a quote from a recent speech that Sarah made on the issue of abortion. During the speech, there was a sound of a baby crying, and even then Sarah stood up for the baby. It was the sound of innocence, she said. She was right. Sarah Palin has the heart of a warrior,...

A plurality of voters (47%) say Barack Obama’s plan to raise taxes on those who earn over $250,000 a year is good for the troubled U.S. economy, even though 51% still believe that lower taxes are the best way to spur economic growth. Thirty-one percent (31%) disagree with Obama’s proposal, saying raising taxes on these upper-income earners will be bad for the economy, but 16% say the proposal will have no impact, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Just 10% think higher taxes are the best way to grow the economy, while 29% say taxes should stay...

The only banking 'deregulation' in recent years was that of Fan and Fred. In each of the first two presidential debates, Barack Obama claimed that "Republican deregulation" is responsible for the financial crisis. Most viewers probably accepted this idea, especially because Republicans generally do favor deregulation. But one essential fact was missing from the senator's narrative: While there has been significant deregulation in the U.S. economy during the last 30 years, none of it has occurred in the financial sector. Indeed, the only significant legislation with any effect on financial risk-taking was the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of...

The New York Post reported Tuesday that the Rev. Jesse Jackson said the United States will rid itself of years of "Zionist" under an administration headed by Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. The daily quoted the veteran civil rights leader on Tuesday as having said that although "Zionists have controlled American policy for decades" remain strong, they will lose a much of their clout when Obama enters the White House.....

Shocking development: Mrs Obama decides enough is enough: “My husband was born in Hawaii and adopted by his step father, does that make him unpatriotic; she asks”, on a direct telephone to API. Posted by africanpress on October 15, 2008 Accusing API of colluding with American internet bloggers in an effort to bring down her husband, Mrs Obama said she decided to call API because of what she termed, API’s help to spread rumours created by American bloggers and other racist media outlets in their efforts to damage a black man’s name, saying she hopes African Media was mature enough...

In this video link, Obama openly mocks and is very arrogant and condescending regardiong the Bible and its application in American society. View it at the first link in the list of videos at the following site: OBAMA IN HIS OWN WORDS - 1ST VIDEO LINK MOCKS THE BIBLE

Note that the following DiscoverTheNetworks.org/FrontPageMag.com profile doesn't (yet?) include the latest revelation that Sen Obama was actually a member of the New Party.-ETLPROFILE: NEW PARTY (NP) * Marxist political coalition * Was active from 1992-1998 * Endorsed Barack Obama for Illinois state senate seat in 1996 Co-founded in 1992 by Daniel Cantor (a former staffer for Jesse Jackson's 1988 presidential campaign) and Joel Rogers (a sociology and law professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison), the New Party was a Marxist political coalition whose objective was to endorse and elect leftist public officials -- most often Democrats. The New Party's short-term...

Reader SBD has extended his original research into the interesting public record associated with Obama’s homes. In his first analysis SBD analyzed Barack Obama’s first home (1993-2005) and found some interesting names on the record for tax assessment and ownership purposes. In his second analysis SBD finds one very interesting name tied to Obama’s new mansion - that of a former employer in a law firm which had many questionable dealings with convicted felon Tony Rezko. The name is William Miceli who was Obama’s Supervisor when he worked at the Davis Law firm where Rezko was his client and a...

Ex-FBI Agents Outraged at Obama-Ayers Ties Tuesday, October 14, 2008 9:46 AM By: Ronald Kessler Article Font Size Former FBI agents who worked the Weather Underground case are angry about the longtime relationship between Barack Obama and William Ayers, a leader of the domestic terrorist group who has admitted widespread bombings. “It outrages me to think that a person would be seeking the presidency of the United States and was close to an individual like Bill Ayers,” former agent Max Noel told Newsmax. Ayers said in his book that he participated in the bombing of New York City police headquarters...

Barack Obama took time out from debate preparations today to weigh in on the increasingly loud controversy over an activist group's voter registration drive. The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, known as ACORN, claims to have registered 1.3 million young people, minorities, and working-class voters. But some of those registration cards have listed dead or nonexistent people and are being investigated in at least eight states. Republican John McCain, and today his running mate Sarah Palin, have called on Obama to take control of ACORN's activities. “Obama has a responsibility to rein in ACORN and prove that he...

Newly discovered documents from the Illinois state archives prove Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has lied about his opposition as an Illinois state senator to legislation requiring health officials to provide care to babies who survived abortion. Obama has repeatedly claimed he would have voted for Illinois’ version of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act (BAIPA) had it included language to protect abortion rights guaranteed by Roe v. Wade, as the federal version of the bill did, which sailed through the U.S. Senate 98-0. Contrary to what Obama has said, forgotten records from the Illinois Senate archives show Obama did...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A new national poll of Americans finds a large majority take one of three pro-life positions opposing al or most abortions. The survey also finds more than one-quarter of people who say they are "pro-choice" on abortion really take a pro-life position against abortions. The Marist College Institute of Public Opinion conducted the survey between September 24 and October 3. Some 60 percent of Americans say abortions should never be allowed or only in the rarest of circumstances, such as rape and incest, that constitution less than two percent of all abortions nationwide. The Marist survey...

PREPARE for a new America: That's the message that the Rev. Jesse Jackson conveyed to participants in the first World Policy Forum, held at this French lakeside resort last week. He promised "fundamental changes" in US foreign policy - saying America must "heal wounds" it has caused to other nations, revive its alliances and apologize for the "arrogance of the Bush administration." The most important change would occur in the Middle East, where "decades of putting Israel's interests first" would end. Jackson believes that, although "Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades" remain strong, they'll lose a great deal...

Barack Obama’s presidential campaign has worked to assure uneasy gun owners that he believes the Constitution protects their rights and that he doesn’t want to take away their guns. But before he became a national political figure, he sat on the board of a Chicago-based foundation that doled out at least nine grants totaling nearly $2.7 million to groups that advocated the opposite positions. The foundation funded legal scholarship advancing the theory that the Second Amendment does not protect individual gun owners’ rights, as well as two groups that advocated handgun bans. And it paid to support a book called...

Despite growing up in Hawaii, Obama gives no indication than he has had any real experience with the sea or ships. His answer to the boy that the backflow "probably had to do with the tides," if anything, confirms his inexperience. Ayers, however, knew a great deal about the sea. After dropping out of college, he took up the life of a merchant seaman. "I'd thought that when I signed on that I might write an American novel about a young man at sea," says Ayers in his memoir, "Fugitive Days," "but I didn't have it in me." The experience...

It looks like Jeremiah Wright was just the tip of the iceberg. Not only did Barack Obama savor Wright’s sermons, Obama gave legitimacy — and a whole lot of money — to education programs built around the same extremist anti-American ideology preached by Reverend Wright. And guess what? Bill Ayers is still palling around with the same bitterly anti-American Afrocentric ideologues that he and Obama were promoting a decade ago. All this is revealed by a bit of digging, combined with a careful study of documents from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, the education foundation Obama and Ayers jointly led in...

Want to set a conservative’s hair on fire? Just mention redistribution of wealth and watch the fireworks. It happened Sunday when Barack Obama was canvassing a neighborhood in Toledo, Ohio. Fox News cameras were there and captured the conversation (which is now all over the Web) between a self-employed plumber named Joe Wurzelbacher and Obama. More taxes? Wurzelbacher explained that by working hard (10-12 hours a day) he was in a position to buy a business. If he bought a truck and expanded the business, he wondered if his success would be greeted by a penalty in the form of...

Dead people. Fake people. Cartoon characters. Now, it looks like Obama supporters are going after unsuspecting credit card fraud victims, too. Better check your Visa and Amex bills twice: A North Kansas City couple has been left scratching their heads after they became the victims of a political scam. Steve and Rachel Larman say a strange credit card charge appeared on their statement this month — a $2300 donation to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. The Larman’s say they don’t want this to be about their political affiliation, but they say they’re not about to give the Obama campaign any help...

As reports pile up of voter registration fraud connected to ACORN -- the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now, a group that advocates for low-income voters – the campaign of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., has sought to downplay his past ties with the group. But in their efforts to do, Obama campaign officials found themselves forced last week to correct an erroneous assertion made on the campaign’s “Fight the Smears” webpage that “Barack was never an ACORN trainer and never worked for ACORN in any other capacity.” That wasn’t true. In fact, ACORN spokesman Lewis Goldberg told the New...

A Financial Primer by: James F. Davis, October 14, 2008 As someone who spent the majority of my life as an international bank analyst and executive, I learned that to fix a problem, one needs to understand what caused it. This can be difficult to see because sometimes it takes time for the effects of bad decisions to manifest themselves. It also requires that we examine the facts rather than our emotional biases. The facts are that approximately 6% of all mortgage loans in United States are in default. Historically, defaults were less than one third of that, i.e., from...

Nice Try Senator WOMAN 1: Senator Obama? Nice try. MAN 1: You tell us that you were unaware of your pastor Reverend Wright’s anti-American hatred… WOMAN 2: … but you attended his church for 20 years. MAN 2: He married you and your wife. MAN 3: He baptized your children. MAN 4: You named your book after his sermon. MAN 5: Nice try, Senator. MAN 6: You said the terrorist William Ayers was “just a guy in the neighborhood”… WOMAN 3: … but you worked closely with him for four years… WOMAN 2: … and you announced your candidacy at...

Punished WOMAN: Senator Obama, I’m afraid. In March, you told America: OBAMA: “I’ve got two daughters. If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.” WOMAN: Punished. I’m afraid because I’m a mother and I can’t imagine what this country would become if its President could look upon a baby as a punishment. And I’m afraid, because those children that you spoke of as a punishment would be your very own grandchildren. ANNOUNCER: What happens when we elect a President who has disregard for human life? Please, America, let’s never find out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZF-_EZ8mb0

Trust MAN: Senator Obama, how can we trust you? In 1995, you partnered with a man named William Ayers on a hundred million dollar education project. Sounds good, right? Except William Ayers is a known terrorist who bombed the Pentagon and then said he didn’t do enough. You say William Ayers was “just a guy in your neighborhood”, but the Wall Street Journal tells us that you and William Ayers worked together as a team! And they must be right, because when you decided to run for the Senate, you announced your candidacy at his house! A known terrorist! Senator...

For all the talk of weaving public housing residents into the fabric of the city, the Chicago Housing Authority's ambitious Plan for Transformation includes this inconvenient fact: When the plan is complete, nearly 1 of every 10 of those families will live more than 100 blocks south of the Loop, tucked amid landfills, industrial parks and a sewage treatment plant. Mayor Richard Daley declared eight years ago that Chicago would end "the failed policies of the past." Yet a Tribune investigation found that the city has pumped hundreds of millions of federal tax dollars into housing complexes that preserve the...

I've said repeatedly that Obama lies as easily as he breathes. More proof of this has been self-evident in his "giving 95% of voters a tax-cut." (Only I guess its not as self-evident as I would like it to be - because liberals are stupid and do not look at facts when their Messiah speaks.) But here's the thing. The bottom roughly 37% of citizens do not pay federal taxes. So that means that under his plan only 58% will get a "tax-cut". Those bottom 37%ers will be getting PURE WELFARE. Stolen directly from the small business owners of America...

AudioHoward Stern found some Harlem voters who support Barack Obama for president -- because he is pro-life and will keep U.S. troops in Iraq until victory is won. Oh, and they love that he picked Sarah Palin for vice president.

Tony Rezko used Alexi Giannoulias bank to float $450,000 in bad checks, while campaigning for Alexi’s brother Demetris to be placed on the Illinois Finance Authority Board. Demetris Giannoulias was on the Board at the Crossroads Fund, a Chicago Based left wing organzation supported by Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn and Barack Obama, which made grants to such stellar organizations as ACORN and other affordable housing swindlers. In 2002, Rezko borrowed $10.5 Million from Broadway Bank, the Giannoulias family bank, the same bank where Barack Obama kept his Senate campaign funds. In 2006, Sen. Obama endorsed Alexi Giannoulias for Illinois State...

In this critical election year, when it comes to all of the following issues regarding his campaign, associations, and history: His realtionship with the unrepentant domestic terrorist, Bill Ayers His relationship with the hate filled, black liberationist, Jeremiah Wright His relationship with the convicted felon, corrupt financier, Tony Rezko His involvement with ACORN which is directly tied to massive voter fraud and the economic crisis His vote against the Born Alive Infant Act in Illinois His tax plan His stance on Gun Control His stance on Iraq His stance and statments on Afghanistan His religious persuasion as a youth His...

The emergence of a previously unseen writing sample proves all but conclusively that Barack Obama did not in any meaningful way write Dreams From My Father, the book that Time Magazine has called “the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician.” The emergence of a second writing sample, this one by a legitimate author, provides convincing evidence as to who did. In 1990, the University of Illinois at Springfield published a collection of essays called After Alinsky: Community Organizing in Illinois. Obama contributed a chapter, titled: “Why Organize? Problems and Promise in the Inner City.” 1990, by the way,...
