           America will always be two set of people “the have “and “the have not”!  “The have” will not allow them to have less. Therefore, our society will never be balance, and the constitution will always be challenged!

          We the people have a right to do what we want to do! Do we? Vote, scandalous acts, embrace greed, and accept war because it touches our soil, but we’re losing our rational with solving America’s problems.  Were going back and forth and not moving forward.   By doing so we’re getting exactly what we ask for more government control (help for the people) or less government control (more private incentives). There needs to be a balance, and yet we’re not letting balance take its place in government or is there a place for balance?

        I believe big business is one of the main causes because it’s all about Greed, and since the government has their eye on big businesses and is limiting the incentives they get, they’re taking their business overseas. “I never did understand that! Businesses get tax breaks, and other incentive which goes into their pockets” and they still lay off people and move their business overseas. “They should be made to give that back”.   Why do you have to be induced to employ your citizens? The banking and manufacturing industry are moving to and investing overseas which takes jobs away from Americans, therefore, people should put big businesses in check for outsourcing them, and  Foreign countries  own so much of Americas properties that we will be paying rent to them soon.  

        Why do we have to compare to past presidents to show that we’re not moving forward but that the past will repeat itself?   That means America is not getting it!

For Instance: Reagan won the house in 1984 when he carried every state except Minnesota.

 District of Columbia, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who two years after significant midterm reversals     in 1938 won an unprecedented third term in 1940.

Bill Clinton, who was reelected in 1996 two years after the GOP captured the House for the first time in 46 years.

     And they saw their popularity fade when they each loss their grasp on the people or when the economy responded slowly. Do popularity and how bad the people are hurting outweigh all rational thinking? Therefore, to what end will we sway?

Korea Geopolitical Crises!

If it’s not one thing it’s another: Obama’s Burgeoning Geopolitical Crises:

     Only a few weeks after definitively learning that, yes, it really was "the economy, stupid," at least as far as the midterm elections were concerned, Obama has several big new headaches in regards to Korea, Afghanistan, the unending Israeli-Palestinian question, and Russia.

* The crisis on the Korean peninsula. The USS George Washington aircraft carrier strike group is en route, as seen in the footage above.

     While Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were in Indiana on Tuesday, trying at last to get some credit for saving the American auto industry, Secretary of Defense Bob Gates, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, National Security Advisor Tom Donilon, Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Admiral Mike Mullen, and other top officials conferred for hours in the Situation Room. Upon his return, Obama joined them, conferred with South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, and ordered the USS George Washington to the area.

     Obama's big economic revitalization and Middle America event of the week, highlighting the saving of the US auto industry, was overshadowed by the crisis precipitated by North Korea's attack early Tuesday morning on a South Korean island. During a sustained artillery barrage, two South Korean marines and two civilians were killed, with dozens wounded.

     The survivors were evacuated to Inchon on the mainland, ironically the site of General Douglas MacArthur's famed 1950 amphibious maneuver which decisively ended the North Korean advance during the early phase of the Korean War.

     Burgeoning! (Rapidly increasing). What! Is the author trying to grasp out attention with a familiar crise that has plaque many president?

     For example, Spanish-American War of 1898 gave the nation a "short victorious war" following the angst of the Civil War, quickly led to the bloody Philippine-American War, and then he Gulf War lifted the U.S. out of a self-conscious, post-Vietnam malaise. http://www.historyguy.com/GulfWar.html

     October 25, 1983, six days after Prime Minister Maurice Bishop was executed by Bernard Coard's Stalanist sect, the United States armed forces landed troops on the beaches of Grenada.  President Ronald Reagan  ordered the invasion because Cuban engineers were invited to build to island to build an international airport to enhance tourism. Unfortunately, Ronald Reagan saw this as a threat to the United States because they presume the airstrip could be used to build up an arms cache, and propel a military build-up in the Caribbean. http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h2047.html    Since 1990, more than 400 U.S. soldiers have died in the Gulf.   (http://www.commondreams.org/views02/0913-01.htm),

     So, to say the least, why would president Obama be any different to have a war under his administration? America’s motto is to help most countries with their crisis, and make priority those whose interest is held by us. Is the American person not a priority? The president has to focus on getting the economy back on track. Sending soldiers over South Korea while they’re soldiers still in Iran will be an additional strain on the economy. It’s amazing; how many of our presidents have never been able to completely follow and execute the agenda that they promised to implement when they get into office.  America is wary of all the elements that’s causing resentments, censure criticism, and is still angered by 9/11, threats of Al-Qaeda, and Iraq ventures.

     The general public of America is constantly putting pressure on the government to stop the war and bring our troops home. Seven years of war, and in addition , to our own problems, another international crisis has risen that will require the help of our soldiers. Should we ignore our allies? To stabilize this country?

     America will continue to be dreaded by the foes and for a time doubtfully viewed by many of the friends of America, everything stood on a new and more respectable footing, both with regard to the operations of war or negotiations with foreign powers.

Fall from grace; a personal appeal from Charles Rangel!

                    
      AP Photo - FILE - In this Nov. 2, 2010 file photo, Harlem resident Jackie Rowe Adams, left, sings "God Bless America" as U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., center, celebrates with supporters on election night at the Martin Luther King Jr. Democratic Club, in the Harlem neighborhood of New York. The prospect of a public scolding in Washington for Rangel over ethics violations has drawn both sadness and scorn in his Harlem neighborhood, where he was just re-elected with 81 percent of the vote and remains an icon to residents who say they'll be the ones to decide his political fate. http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2010/11/03/rangel-easily-wins-re-election/

Rangel's NY supporters urge 'no' vote on censure

     A group of local leaders says Rangel has worked hard in his decades-long career to support his community. They're urging other members of the House of Representatives to vote no on a recommendation to censure him. The Democratic congressman was convicted in an ethics trial by a panel of lawmakers on 11 counts of ethical wrongdoing, including his use of House letterheads and staff to solicit money for a college center named after him. A number of the donors had business before the House Ways and Means Committee while Rangel served as chairman. Rangel also filed a decade's worth of misleading financial statements understating his assets, and converted a subsidized New York apartment - designated for residential use - into a campaign office. Other tenants who violated their lease got evicted. The tax issue was a sore point for several members of the ethics committee, who said it was especially egregious that a former chairman of the House's tax-writing committee failed for 17 years to pay taxes on the income from his island villa. The Rangel case won't end the ethics committee's business. On Nov. 29, the panel of five Democrats and five Republicans will hold an ethics trial for Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif. Waters is vigorously fighting charges that she improperly attempted to get federal financial aid for a bank where her husband is an investor.

     No surprise here!  These types of misuse are repetative, and there are many more politicians who have done worst.  So, will there be an overhaul of censures? I think not! Every presidency there has to be some kind of ousted to appease the population.

     I  recall, when it was time for election Charles Rangel as a representative was well loved and highly respected by the people of NY and his peers ; they’ve always spoke very highly of him, and how well he represented his district. It’s sad to see that the ethics council voted 9-1 to censure him not based on an actual crime, but for inappropriately misuse of funds.  Rangel claims it wasn’t for enrichment, or corruption or personal gain, and was justified accordingly. So is the Ethics council censure right? From my understanding the censure punishment given is for felons who are found guilty (of bribes, and cover ups).  Is it fair to have compassion for him to get leniency? It’s sad to see him so broken since he is a self-confident, 80-year-old man who has supported NY for decades, and through this his constituents re-elected him. He has 40 years of House service behind him, and I don’t recall him been tied up in any prior scandals. Rep. Charles Rangel would become the 23rd House member in the nation's history to be censured if the House goes along with a recommendation of its ethics committee.

     In my opinion, politicians have been getting away with these types of behavior for years, and the majority of Americans have been complaining for years, and have lost faith in (some or all politicians) because of all the scandals, and lies that seems to overshadow any accomplishments. The government implements and creates laws that are suppose to protect, benefit, and in some case (control the citizens) but those laws become one sided because politicians seems to think they're exempt. What punishment should Rangel get? And is it fair to have leniency on him? What makes him different?  How can we distinguish the level of punishment to give him? It’s always questions and no real answers when these things happen; if the government has to clean house it’s unfortunate that some form of punishment have to be paid to affirm a fair government system.

    
     In my opinion, when it comes to politics some Americans either don’t know, understand or don’t care; therefore, will politician change? I would say no! After all, firstly they are citizens, and secondly, they are elected citizens chosen by the people. So what does that say about us? My concept is, America is a product of its own traditions.  Therefore, Mr. Rangel it’s sad to see someone who has such a long career servicing his community fall from grace!

Tea Party Cry of utterance!

     What are they? Who are they?  In some points they’re bringing awareness, and confusion which brings out the radicals  that question our views.  Do we really need another political party? Has America come to the point where we need others to push a button to direct us? I must say they prove their point division or decision.  This took voters away from the two main parties. I hope this win to the republican party will not make matters worse but it will allow both parties to work together to get America out of  this economy.

     "As House Minority Leader John Boehner unveiled the GOP's "Pledge to America" at the Tart Lumber Company in Virginia on Thursday, conservative activists around the country listened intently to find out if House Republicans had included their issues on the GOP's priority list for the near future. Although Erik Erikson at RedState.com blasted the pledge as "full of compromises and milquetoast rhetorical flourishes in search of unanimity," other conservative activists praised the pledge as a good start, but just that -- a start. The document, released Thursday, promises to reverse Democrats' "disastrous policies," placing an emphasis on jump-starting the American economy. The GOP enjoys an energized base of supporters. Democrats have lots of cash to support candidates"- By Patricia Murphy.
