  • what is your take on this? ?

    i live in alaska, i was talking to a russian. not a russian american kind of russian but a russian from russia who is visiting alaska. he said Putin wants to buy alaska back from the USA and is expecting obama to consider it in order to pay off americas debts to foreign countries. do you think obama will bend to the wants of the russian government?

    he said the deal should be proposed before the end of 2010.

    i thought this was an interesting conversation with the russian.

  • have you talked with your accountant about what will happen if obama gets into office?

    i did today. what he told me is..

    if obama gets into office sell your small business because the policies he is talking about initiating is going to send all small businesses into bankruptcy. the amount of money that is going to be required to meet his policies is unimaginable and if you do not accommodate his proposals he is going to fine you. what the fine is is not defined as of yet but it will be over and above the amount it will cost you to accommodate his new policies. so you can say good bye to all the small businesses in america. so if you work in a small business you better be ready. get your bills caught up and get as much saved as you can. you will be unemployed.

  • stock market plunge good or bad?

    is it good or bad. for the big guy i think it is bad but for the person who has nothing invested it is going to be good. the little guy will be able to invest and get more stocks for the money. instead of one stock for $100 you can get 4 for that same $100.

    when i went to a seminar on stock trading the guy told the class that he wished the stock market would get back down to 7000. he told us that if it ever happened again to invest as much as possible because it will recover in time. buy low and hold. then when the market starts to recover then 'play the stock market game' buy low sell when you feel good about your profits.

  • is this true. obama fundraiser with ahmadinejad?

    i got this from newsmax.c1. Ahmadinejad Feted at Obama Fundraiser’s Hotel

    Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was feted on Thursday night by left-wing U.S. religious leaders and self-styled pacifists at a gala reception at New York’s Hyatt hotel — which is owned by the family of the Obama campaign’s national finance chairperson, Penny Pritzker.

    Several thousand protesters gathered on 42nd street, directly across from the hotel, late Thursday afternoon, including Beth Gilinsky, president of the Jewish Action Alliance; Frank Gaffney, president of the Center for Security Policy; and the Rev. Keith Roderick, the Episcopal canon to persecuted Christians.

    Ahmadinejad arrived at 8:45 p.m., nearly three hours late, and was protected by the Secret Service and Iranian security guards, Newsmax correspondent Kenneth R. Timmerman reported.

    Inside, the Iranian president was given a warm welcome by John Brademas, a former congressman from Indiana who rose to become Democratic whip in the House from 1977-1981.

    Also welcoming him was Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which was named as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in an alleged criminal conspiracy to fund the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas.

    Ahmadinejad began his address with an invocation of the 12th imam, according to a source who attended the event.

    He made a similar invocation of the 12th imam at the start of his speech to the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, adding that he hoped his actions “would hasten the Imam’s return.” He went on to blast Israel and the United States in that speech.

    The Mahdivist cult of Shia Islam, to which Ahmadinejad subscribes, holds that the 12th imam will “return” to earth after a period of worldwide conflagration, mass destruction, famine, and starvation.

    By calling on his own actions to “hasten” the imam’s return, many scholars of Islam believe that Ahmadinejad is revealing his intention to provoke a world war.

    Ahmadinejad has referred to Israel as “a dried, rotten tree that will collapse with a single storm,” and has called on the Muslim world to “prepare for the great war, so as to completely wipe out the Zionist regime and remove this cancerous growth.”

    Government buildings in Tehran are festooned with giant banners that read, “Israel should be wiped out of the face of the world” in English and Persian. Similar banners are draped across Shahab-3 missiles when the Iranian regime drives them through the streets of Tehran in military parades, Timmerman reports.

    Barack Obama has made negotiations with Ahmadinejad and other dictators a cornerstone of his foreign policy approach, in contrast to John McCain, who believes that the U.S. must spearhead an international coalition to prevent Iran from going nuclear.

    Obama has said that he is ready to sit down with Ahmadinejad “without preconditions” to negotiate a sweeping security agreement with his regime. McCain has dismissed this as “reckless,” and McCain’s top foreign policy adviser, Randy Scheunemann, has called it “cowboy diplomacy.”
