The President released the long form of his birth certificate, proving once and for all that he is a natural born citizen. This puts to rest all of the speculation and concern of the paranoid conservatives who ever questioned our President. To put it better, in the President's words, it put's to rest all of the "silliness"! The President released the long form because the issue had become a distraction. He said it had been a fringe issue and only recently moved into the mainstream.
Really Mr. President? Do you really feel that American's are silly because we want to be certain that our President is a natural born citizen as the Constitution requires? If so, you obviously do not put much credibility in the American people nor are you very loyal to the Constitution, the most sacred of our national documents; which you vowed, with your hand on the Bible; the most sacred of documents, to support and uphold.
Fringe issue? Have they removed news channels from the oval office? Do you not listen to anything except your IPod? I have been hearing about the birth certificate issue since the campaign - in the mainstream media! Yeah, they downplayed the issue, just as they do with all of your issues, but they talked about it none-the-less. However, now after almost three years of running our nation into the gutter and driving us from a level of world leader to a level on par with Great Britain or (gag) France, you are now hearing the calls for accountability regarding your citizenship?
When you ran for the office in 2008, the election was virtually handed to you on a silver platter. Throughout the campaign and during the first two years of your administration, you did as you wished and answered to no one. Your arrogance (or ignorance) was overwhelming and disturbing and threatening to all who love this nation. It is assumed that you felt you were invincible. Why the change now? Are you finally hearing the calls from the people for accountability Mr. President, or can it be that your advisers are reading the polls and finally telling you Mr. Emperor, that you are not wearing any clothes?

Economics 101
You only need to scroll down to earlier posts to read what I said in February would happen and it is happening right now! The President has essentially shut out the Republicans recommended cuts (which were a joke to begin with) and proposed smaller, less painful cuts. You see, he does not want to hurt the American people. What a great guy.
Instead, he wants to raise taxes on those evil rich people - you know, the people that own businesses and make millions, well hundreds of thousands, well maybe $90,000 or $60,000 per year. We'll let him give us the number later - after the budget is passed and no doubt, before it is seen by anyone. It appears those evil rich people like your neighbor who has been working 90 hour, 7 day weeks and keeping people in his community working; well he has not paid his fare share. Why? Because he still has some left to buy a $35,000 car or invest some of his money in his retirement account or send his kids to college. Bad, bad, rich business person! So now he has to pay more! And pay he will. But so will the rest of us.
What this genius in Washington D.C. fails to understand is that when gasoline is $5/gallon, milk is $3.50/gallon and eggs are $2.00/dozen; the economy will suffer because people will have less to spend on other things - cars, homes, luxuries, restaurants and so forth. When people spend less money on those items, the owners of those businesses have to reduce their costs. The first place they start is? Right, labor. They cannot cut rent or electricity and the cost of goods runs is relative to sales so those items are only cut to the extent that sales have fallen, but you cannot purchase 500 hamburgers and sell 600. You can however, have 3 people making those 500 hamburgers instead of the 6 you had making 600. They will work hard, but because they need to pay their IPhone bill, they will be happy to do it.
Now, take the formula to the next level, food is up, gas is up and unemployment increases. Now, let's throw in a stiff tax on the business person, heck he can afford it because our President said so. Remember, the business person already cut labor because of the earlier problems, but he still must pay rent, utilities and other "fixed" costs, many of which are provided courtesy of our local, state and federal governments. So his only option is to cut labor more. Now 2 people are making those 500 hamburgers and one more person is out of work. Of course, it would not work this way. What would actually happen at this point, I know because I've been here, is that the business person will realized that even without any labor, he still will not be able to pay for those 500 hamburgers and he will close his doors.
With this business closed, everyone is out of work. The suppliers lose all of the business and the uncollected money from the closed business. The rental agency loses any overdue and future rent and each of these businesses lose revenue and have to make adjustments accordingly. Keep in mind, they are also hit with the tax increase. I might mention, while the rental agency and the suppliers will lose their money, the government will stop at nothing to collect what they are owed from the business person that they helped to put out of business using their own internal mob. They're called the IRS and they will take the last crumb out of the business owner's babies mouth to collect what they feel is theirs - with penalties and interest.
It does not take a genius to figure this out. It is simple economics with a little common sense mixed in. People cannot spend what they do not have and when people stop supporting the economy, the economy collapses. Mix high prices on basic items - fuel and food, add taxes on people that contribute most to economic growth - businesses and wealthy (people that have money to spend) and it equals less money to fuel the economy. Now, if you were able to reach this site, you probably can understand this equation. If you know anyone that cannot reach this site or does not understand the equation, please educate them. There will be a test on this subject and it will be taken at the next election. Start studying now about the Modern Whig Party and what they will do to save America.
