Daydreams of Obama and Babylon - An anaylisis of the DNC speech

The following is my analysis of President Obamas speech at the Democratic National Convention.
In it I see nothing but daydreams.
I see no actual numbers, facts, or plans.
I see only blame, daydreams, promises, and guilt.
I see his fairness doctrine over and over.
I see false claims of success.
I see the rich being demonized repeatedly.

I SEE A JEALOUS MAN - ASKING YOU TO HELP HIM FEED HIS ENVY. 


And while his party is removing god, and booing god, and engaging in homosexual rights, abortions, and other things of Babylonian proportions...
He has the balls to reference scripture!

And not just any scripture... The story of the beginning of the exile of the Jews, and the idolatry that eventually led to the destruction of Babylon.

And he uses it not as a warning to those who would engage in elicit behavior to stop...
but as a warning to the elite that the people will not tolerate them
and that the poor should rise up and overthrow them.

Lets look at his speech paragraph by paragraph - my remarks are in red:
 
Madam Chairwoman, delegates, I accept your nomination for President of the United States.  (Applause.)
Now, the first time I addressed this convention in 2004, I was a younger man, a Senate candidate from Illinois, who spoke about hope -- not blind optimism, not wishful thinking, but hope in the face of difficulty; hope in the face of uncertainty; that dogged faith in the future which has pushed this nation forward, even when the odds are great, even when the road is long.

IN THIS PARAGRAPH, OBAMA SAYS HE WAS INEXPERIENCED WHEN HE STARTED - WHICH WE ALL KNEW. A JUNIOR SENATOR AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZER WITH NO BUSINESS EXPERIENCE.

Eight years later, that hope has been tested by the cost of war, by one of the worst economic crises in history, and by political gridlock that’s left us wondering whether it’s still even possible to tackle the challenges of our time.





HERE HE BLAMES HIS FAILURE ON SEVERAL THINGS

I know campaigns can seem small, even silly sometimes.  Trivial things become big distractions.  Serious issues become sound bites.  The truth gets buried under an avalanche of money and advertising.  If you’re sick of hearing me approve this message, believe me, so am I.  (Laughter and applause.)

MAKES A JOKE ABOUT POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS

But when all is said and done -- when you pick up that ballot to vote -- you will face the clearest choice of any time in a generation.  Over the next few years, big decisions will be made in Washington on jobs, the economy, taxes and deficits, energy, education, war and peace -- decisions that will have a huge impact on our lives and on our children’s lives for decades to come.

SAYS HE HAS BIG DECISIONS TO MAKE

And on every issue, the choice you face won’t just be between two candidates or two parties.  It will be a choice between two different paths for America, a choice between two fundamentally different visions for the future.

SAYS THERE ARE TWO CHOICES

Ours is a fight to restore the values that built the largest middle class and the strongest economy the world has ever known  -- (applause) -- the values my grandfather defended as a soldier in Patton’s Army, the values that drove my grandmother to work on a bomber assembly line while he was gone.
They knew they were part of something larger -- a nation that triumphed over fascism and depression; a nation where the most innovative businesses turned out the world’s best products. And everyone shared in that pride and success, from the corner office to the factory floor.

NEEDS TO REBUILD THE MIDDLE CLASS WHILE IMPOSING THE LARGEST TAX ON THEM IN HISTORY

My grandparents were given the chance to go to college, buy their own home, and fulfill the basic bargain at the heart of America’s story -- the promise that hard work will pay off, that responsibility will be rewarded, that everyone gets a fair shot and everyone does their fair share and everyone plays by the same rules from Main Street to Wall Street to Washington, D.C.  (Applause.)

SAYS THINGS NEED TO BE FAIR

And I ran for President because I saw that basic bargain slipping away.  I began my career helping people in the shadow of a shuttered steel mill at a time when too many good jobs were starting to move overseas.  And by 2008, we had seen nearly a decade in which families struggled with costs that kept rising but paychecks that didn’the; folks racking up more and more debt just to make the mortgage or pay tuition, put gas in the car or food on the table.  And when the house of cards collapsed in the Great Recession, millions of innocent Americans lost their jobs, their homes, their life savings -- a tragedy from which we’re still fighting to recover.
SAYS WHY HE RAN IN 2008

Now, our friends down in Tampa at the Republican Convention were more than happy to talk about everything they think is wrong with America.  But they didn’t have much to say about how they’d make it right.  (Applause.)  They want your vote, but they don’t want you to know their plan.  And that’s because all they have to offer is the same prescriptions they’ve had for the last 30 years -- Have a surplus?  Try a tax cut.  Deficit too high?  Try another.  Feel a cold coming on?  Take two tax cuts, roll back some regulations and call us in the morning.  (Applause.)
BELITTLES THE REPUBLICANS

Now, I’ve cut taxes for those who need it -- middle-class families, small businesses.  But I don’t believe that another round of tax breaks for millionaires will bring good jobs to our shores or pay down our deficit.  I don’t believe that firing teachers or kicking students off financial aid will grow the economy, or help us compete with the scientists and engineers coming out of China.  (Applause.)
After all we’ve been through, I don’t believe that rolling back regulations on Wall Street will help the small businesswoman expand or the laid-off construction worker keep his home.
We have been there.  We’ve tried that and we’re not going back.  We are moving forward, America.  (Applause.)

CLAIMS HE GAVE MIDDLE CLASS TAX CUTS, BUT WANTS UPPER CLASS TAX HIKES
BUT NOW OBAMA CARE HAS BEEN RULED A TAX AND IS THE LARGEST MIDDLE CLASS TAX HIKE IN HISTORY!

Now, I won’t pretend the path I’m offering is quick or easy. I never have.  You didn’t elect me to tell you what you wanted to hear.  You elected me to tell you the truth.  (Applause.)
And the truth is it will take more than a few years for us to solve challenges that have built up over decades.  It will require common effort and shared responsibility, and the kind of bold, persistent experimentation that Franklin Roosevelt pursued during the only crisis worse than this one. 


while everyone was picking apart these and other flaws in Obama's speech, they overlooked the most frightening line of all. That was when Obama promised that he'd pursue "the kind of bold, persistent experimentation that Franklin Roosevelt pursued during the only crisis worse than this one."
That promise might have made liberal hearts swoon. It was precisely FDR's "bold, persistent experimentation" that was largely to blame for the length, depth and severity of the Great Depression.

http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials/090712-625080-terrifying-promise-obama-made-.htm?p=full

(Applause.)  And, by the way, those of us who carry on his party’s legacy should remember that not every problem can be remedied with another government program or dictate from Washington.
SAYS HE NEEDS MORE TIME

But know this, America -- our problems can be solved.  (Applause.)  Our challenges can be met.  The path we offer may be harder, but it leads to a better place.  And I’m asking you to choose that future.  (Applause.)
ASKS YOU TO CHOOSE HIS FUTURE

I’m asking you to rally around a set of goals for your country -- goals in manufacturing, energy, education, national security, and the deficit -- real, achievable plans that will lead to new jobs, more opportunity and rebuild this economy on a stronger foundation.   That’s what we can do in the next four years -- and that is why I’m running for a second term as President of the United States.  (Applause.)

RALLY AROUND GOALS

AUDIENCE:  Four more years!  Four more years!
THE PRESIDENT:  We can choose a future where we export more products and outsource fewer jobs.  After a decade that was defined by what we bought and borrowed, we’re getting back to basics, and doing what America has always done best:  We are making things again.  (Applause.)
DAYDREAMS ABOUT JOBS

I’ve met workers in Detroit and Toledo -- (applause) -- who feared they’d never build another American car.  And today, they can’t build them fast enough, because we reinvented a dying auto industry that’s back on the top of the world.  (Applause.)
CLAIMS AUTO INDUSTRY IS BACK ON TOP - EVEN THOUGH GM IS GOING BANKRUPT AGAIN

I’ve worked with business leaders who are bringing jobs back to America -- not because our workers make less pay, but because we make better products.  Because we work harder and smarter than anyone else.  (Applause.)
CLAIMS MANUFACTURING IS BETTER

I’ve signed trade agreements that are helping our companies sell more goods to millions of new customers -- goods that are stamped with three proud words:  Made in America.  (Applause.)

CLAIMS TRADE AGREEMENTS HAVE BEEN SIGNED BUT THEY HAVENT

AUDIENCE:  U.S.A!  U.S.A.!  U.S.A.!
THE PRESIDENT:  And after a decade of decline, this country created over half a million manufacturing jobs in the last two and a half years.
CLAIMS MANUFACTURING JOBS

And now you have a choice:  We can give more tax breaks to corporations that ship jobs overseas, or we can start rewarding companies that open new plants and train new workers and create new jobs here, in the United States of America.  (Applause.)  We can help big factories and small businesses double their exports, and if we choose this path, we can create a million new manufacturing jobs in the next four years.  You can make that happen.  You can choose that future.
DAYDREAMS ABOUT REWARDING BUSINESS THAT KEEP JOBS DOMESTIC

You can choose the path where we control more of our own energy.  After 30 years of inaction, we raised fuel standards so that by the middle of the next decade, cars and trucks will go twice as far on a gallon of gas.  (Applause.)  We have doubled our use of renewable energy, and thousands of Americans have jobs today building wind turbines and long-lasting batteries.  In the last year alone, we cut oil imports by 1 million barrels a day -- more than any administration in recent history.  And today, the United States of America is less dependent on foreign oil than at any time in the last two decades.  (Applause.)
DAYDREAMS ABOUT ENERGY INDEPENDENCE

So now you have a choice -- between a strategy that reverses this progress, or one that builds on it.  We’ve opened millions of new acres for oil and gas exploration in the last three years, and we’ll open more.  But unlike my opponent, I will not let oil companies write this country’s energy plan, or endanger our coastlines, or collect another $4 billion in corporate welfare from our taxpayers.  We’re offering a better path.  (Applause.)
ASKS YOU TO CHOOSE A PATH AGAIN

We’re offering a better path, where we -- a future where we keep investing in wind and solar and clean coal; where farmers and scientists harness new biofuels to power our cars and trucks; where construction workers build homes and factories that waste less energy; where we develop a hundred-year supply of natural gas that’s right beneath our feet.  If you choose this path, we can cut our oil imports in half by 2020 and support more than 600,000 new jobs in natural gas alone.  (Applause.)
DAYDREAMS ABOUT ALTERNATIVE ENERGY

And, yes, my plan will continue to reduce the carbon pollution that is heating our planet -- because climate change is not a hoax.  More droughts and floods and wildfires are not a joke.  They are a threat to our children’s future.  And in this election, you can do something about it.  (Applause.)
DAYDREAMS ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING AND NOT A HOAX

You can choose a future where more Americans have the chance to gain the skills they need to compete, no matter how old they are or how much money they have.  Education was the gateway to opportunity for me.  It was the gateway for Michelle.  It was the gateway for most of you.  And now more than ever, it is the gateway to a middle-class life.
For the first time in a generation, nearly every state has answered our call to raise their standards for teaching and learning.  Some of the worst schools in the country have made real gains in math and reading.  Millions of students are paying less for college today because we finally took on a system that wasted billions of taxpayer dollars on banks and lenders.  (Applause.)

CLAIMS EDUCATION IS BETTER - BECAUSE STATES HAVE RAISED STANDARDS AND COLLEGE IS CHEAPER NOW THAT GOVERNMENT HAS TAKEN OVER STUDENT LOANS

And now you have a choice -- we can gut education, or we can decide that in the United States of America, no child should have her dreams deferred because of a crowded classroom or a crumbling school.  (Applause.)  No family should have to set aside a college acceptance letter because they don’t have the money.  No company should have to look for workers overseas because they couldn’t find any with the right skills here at home.  That’s not our future.  That is not our future.  (Applause.)
DAYDREAMS ABOUT BETTER EDUCATION

And government has a role in this.  But teachers must inspire; principals must lead; parents must instill a thirst for learning.  And, students, you’ve got to do the work.  (Applause.) And together, I promise you, we can out-educate and out-compete any nation on Earth.  (Applause.)
SAYS TEACHERS MUST EDUCATE BETTER

So help me.  Help me recruit 100,000 math and science teachers within 10 years and improve early-childhood education.  Help give 2 million workers the chance to learn skills at their community college that will lead directly to a job.  (Applause.) Help us work with colleges and universities to cut in half the growth of tuition costs over the next 10 years.  We can meet that goal together.  You can choose that future for America.  (Applause.)  That’s our future.

DAYDREAMS ABOUT GETTING MORE TEACHERS

In a world of new threats and new challenges, you can choose leadership that has been tested and proven.  Four years ago, I promised to end the war in Iraq.  We did.  (Applause.)  I promised to refocus on the terrorists who actually attacked us on 9/11.  And we have.  (Applause.)  We’ve blunted the Taliban’s momentum in Afghanistan, and in 2014, our longest war will be over.  (Applause.)
A new tower rises above the New York skyline; al Qaeda is on the path to defeat; and Osama bin Laden is dead.  (Applause.)
SAYS HE FULFILLED PROMISES ABOUT IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN, THE TALIBAN AND TERRORISTS WHO ACTUALLY ATTACKED US.... LIKE LIBYA??? SUDAN??? GUATAMALA??

AUDIENCE:  U.S.A.!  U.S.A.!  U.S.A.!
THE PRESIDENT:  Tonight, we pay tribute to the Americans who still serve in harm’s way.  We are forever in debt to a generation whose sacrifice has made this country safer and more respected.  We will never forget you.  And so long as I’m Commander-in-Chief, we will sustain the strongest military the world has ever known.  (Applause.)  When you take off the uniform, we will serve you as well as you’ve served us -- because no one who fights for this country should have to fight for a job, or a roof over their heads, or the care that they need when they come home.  (Applause.)
SALUTES MILITARY AND PROMISES JOBS WHEN THEY RETURN

Around the world, we’ve strengthened old alliances and forged new coalitions to stop the spread of nuclear weapons.  We’ve reasserted our power across the Pacific and stood up to China on behalf of our workers.  From Burma to Libya to South Sudan, we have advanced the rights and dignity of all human beings -- men and women; Christians and Muslims and Jews.  (Applause.)
CLAIMS TO HAVE STRENGTHENED ALLIANCES AND STOOD UP TO CHINA

But for all the progress that we’ve made, challenges remain. Terrorist plots must be disrupted.  Europe’s crisis must be contained.  Our commitment to Israel’s security must not waver, and neither must our pursuit of peace.  (Applause.)  The Iranian government must face a world that stays united against its nuclear ambitions.  The historic change sweeping across the Arab world must be defined not by the iron fist of a dictator or the hate of extremists, but by the hopes and aspirations of ordinary people who are reaching for the same rights that we celebrate here today.  (Applause.)
 DISCUSSES THREATS FROM TERRORIST, EUROPE'S CRISIS? (DEBT CRISIS?) MENTIONS ISREAL, IRAN, THE MIDDLE EAST

So now we have a choice.  My opponent and his running mate are new to foreign policy -- (laughter and applause) -- but from all that we’ve seen and heard, they want to take us back to an era of blustering and blundering that cost America so dearly.
BELITTLES ROMNEY AND BUSH

After all, you don’t call Russia our number-one enemy -- not al Qaeda -- Russia -- unless you’re still stuck in a Cold War mind warp.  (Applause.)  You might not be ready for diplomacy with Beijing if you can’t visit the Olympics without insulting our closest ally.  (Applause.)
SAYS RUSSIA IS NOT OUR ENEMY AND MAKES A JAB AT ROMNEY

My opponent said that it was "tragic" to end the war in Iraq.  And he won’t tell us how he’ll end the war in Afghanistan. Well, I have -- and I will.  (Applause.)
 CLAIMS HE WILL END AFGHANISTAN WAR - BUT NOT HOW - SAME THING HE SAID LAST TIME - SAYS ROMNEY HAS NO PLAN - WITHOUT GIVING ONE OF HIS OWN?

And while my opponent would spend more money on military hardware that our Joint Chiefs don’t even want, I will use the money we’re no longer spending on war to pay down our debt and put more people back to work rebuilding roads and bridges and schools and runways.  Because after two wars that have cost us thousands of live and over a trillion dollars, it’s time to do some nation-building right here at home.  (Applause.)
DAYDREAMS HE WILL USE MILITARY FUNDS TO PAY DOWN DEBT AND PUT PEOPLE TO WORK INSTEAD OF BUYING WEAPONS MILITARY DOESNT EVEN WANT - LIKE WHAT?

You can choose a future where we reduce our deficit without sticking it to the middle class.  Independent experts say that my plan would cut our deficit by $4 trillion.  And last summer I worked with Republicans in Congress to cut a billion [trillion] dollars in spending -- because those of us who believe government can be a force for good should work harder than anyone to reform it so that it’s leaner and more efficient and more responsive to the American people.  (Applause.)
DAYDREAMS ABOUT CUTTING THE DEFICIT, AND CLAIMS TO HAVE CUT TRILLIONS

I want to reform the tax code so that it’s simple, fair, and asks the wealthiest households to pay higher taxes on incomes over $250,000 -- the same rate we had when Bill Clinton was President; the same rate when our economy created nearly 23 million new jobs, the biggest surplus in history and a whole lot of millionaires to boot.  (Applause.)
 DAYDREAMS ABOUT CUTTING THE TAX CODE, BUT HOW?

Now, I’m still eager to reach an agreement based on the principles of my bipartisan debt commission.  No party has a monopoly on wisdom.  No democracy works without compromise.  I want to get this done, and we can get it done.  But when Governor Romney and his friends in Congress tell us we can somehow lower our deficits by spending trillions more on new tax breaks for the wealthy, well, what did Bill Clinton call it -- you do the arithmetic.  (Applause.)  You do the math.  (Applause.)
CALLS GIVING WEALTHY TAX BREAKS - SPENDING MONEY? REDUCING TAXES, IS SPENDING MONEY? NO MATTER WHAT, THE GOVERNMENT WANTS IT'S MONEY, AND GIVING THEM LESS MONEY IS CONSIDERED A DEFICIT!

I refuse to go along with that and as long as I’m President, I never will.  (Applause.)  I refuse to ask middle-class families to give up their deductions for owning a home or raising their kids just to pay for another millionaire’s tax cut.  (Applause.)
I refuse to ask students to pay more for college, or kick children out of Head Start programs, or eliminate health insurance for millions of Americans who are poor and elderly or disabled -- all so those with the most can pay less.  I’m not going along with that.  (Applause.)
CLAIMS MIDDLE CLASS MUST GIVE UP DEDUCTIONS TO PAY FOR TAX BREAKS FOR WEALTHY - AGAIN SEES TAX CUTS FROM ONE, MUST BE PAID FOR BY THE OTHER - NO MATTER WHAT, THE GOVERNMENT WILL GET ITS MONEY!

And I will never -- I will never -- turn Medicare into a voucher.  (Applause.)  No American should ever have to spend their golden years at the mercy of insurance companies.  They should retire with the care and the dignity that they have earned.  Yes, we will reform and strengthen Medicare for the long haul, but we’ll do it by reducing the cost of health care -- not by asking seniors to pay thousands of dollars more.  (Applause.)
MEDICARE VOUCHERS? 2/3 OF OUR NATIONAL DEBT IS OWED TO THE PENSION SYSTEM AND RETIREMENTS OF AMERICANS THAT HAS BEEN BORROWED BY THE GOVERNMENT.

And we will keep the promise of Social Security by taking the responsible steps to strengthen it, not by turning it over to Wall Street.  (Applause.)
This is the choice we now face.  This is what the election comes down to.  Over and over, we’ve been told by our opponents that bigger tax cuts and fewer regulations are the only way -- that since government can’t do everything, it should do almost nothing.  If you can’t afford health insurance, hope that you don’t get sick.  If a company releases toxic pollution into the air your children breathe, well, that’s the price of progress.  If you can’t afford to start a business or go to college, take my opponent’s advice and borrow money from your parents.  (Laughter and applause.)
 DEMIGOGING ISSUES LIKE HEALTHCARE, TAX CUTS AND THE ENVIRONMENT

You know what, that’s not who we are.  That’s not what this country’s about.  As Americans, we believe we are endowed by our Creator with certain, inalienable rights -- rights that no man or government can take away.  We insist on personal responsibility and we celebrate individual initiative.  We’re not entitled to success -- we have to earn it.  We honor the strivers, the dreamers, the risk-takers, the entrepreneurs who have always been the driving force behind our free enterprise system, the greatest engine of growth and prosperity that the world’s ever known.

But we also believe in something called citizenship.  (Applause.)  Citizenship:  a word at the very heart of our founding; a word at the very essence of our democracy; the idea that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another and to future generations.
CITIZENSHIP - WHAT OBLIGATIONS TO EACH OTHER? OR DOES HE MEAN TO GOVERNMENT?

cit·i·zen 

1. a native or naturalized member of a state or nation who owes allegiance to its government and is entitled to its protection
We believe that when a CEO pays his autoworkers enough to buy the cars that they build, the whole company does better.  (Applause.)  We believe that when a family can no longer be tricked into signing a mortgage they can’t afford, that family is protected, but so is the value of other people’s homes and so is the entire economy.  (Applause.)  We believe the little girl who’s offered an escape from poverty by a great teacher or a grant for college could become the next Steve Jobs or the scientist who cures cancer or the President of the United States, and it is in our power to give her that chance.  (Applause.)

PREACHING FAIRNESS

We know that churches and charities can often make more of a difference than a poverty program alone.  We don’t want handouts for people who refuse to help themselves and we certainly don’t want bailouts for banks that break the rules.  (Applause.)  We don’t think that government can solve all of our problems, but we don’t think that government is the source of all of our problems -- any more than are welfare recipients, or corporations, or unions, or immigrants, or gays, or any other group we’re told to blame for our troubles.  (Applause.)
PROMOTES CHURCHES AND CHARITY AND DEMONIZES BANKS

Because, America, we understand that this democracy is ours. We, the people, recognize that we have responsibilities as well as rights; that our destinies are bound together; that a freedom which asks only "what’s in it for me," a freedom without commitment to others, a freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism is unworthy of our founding ideals and those who died in their defense.  (Applause.)
As citizens, we understand that America is not about what can be done for us; it’s about what can be done by us, together, through the hard and frustrating, but necessary work of self-government.  That’s what we believe.  (Applause.)
APPEALING TO YOUR PATRIOTISM

So, you see, the election four years ago wasn’t about me.  It was about you.  (Applause.)  My fellow citizens, you were the change.  (Applause.)  You’re the reason there’s a little girl with a heart disorder in Phoenix who will get the surgery she needs because an insurance company can’t limit her coverage.  You did that.  (Applause.)
You’re the reason a young man in Colorado who never thought he’d be able to afford his dream of earning a medical degree is about to get that chance.  You made that possible.  (Applause.)
You’re the reason a young immigrant who grew up here and went to school here and pledged allegiance to our flag will no longer be deported from the only country she’s ever called home
-- (applause) -- why selfless soldiers won’t be kicked out of the military because of who they are or who they love; why thousands of families have finally been able to say to the loved ones who served us so bravely: “Welcome home."  "Welcome home.”  You did that.  You did that.  You did that.  (Applause.)

TUGGING AT YOUR HEART STRINGS AND TRYING TO REPAIR HIS YOU DIDN'T DO THAT GAFFE

If you turn away now -- if you buy into the cynicism that the change we fought for isn’t possible, well, change will not happen.  If you give up on the idea that your voice can make a difference, then other voices will fill the void -- the lobbyists and special interests; the people with the $10 million checks who are trying to buy this election and those who are making it harder for you to vote; Washington politicians who want to decide who you can marry, or control health care choices that women should be making for themselves.  (Applause.)
REMEMBER? OBAMA PROMISED TO GET RID OF LOBBYIST AND SPECIAL INTEREST!

Only you can make sure that doesn’t happen.  Only you have the power to move us forward.  (Applause.)
I recognize that times have changed since I first spoke to this convention.  The times have changed, and so have I.  I’m no longer just a candidate.  I’m the President.  (Applause.)

And that means I know what it means to send young Americans into battle, for I have held in my arms the mothers and fathers of those who didn’t return.  I’ve shared the pain of families who’ve lost their homes, and the frustration of workers who’ve lost their jobs.
If the critics are right that I’ve made all my decisions based on polls, then I must not be very good at reading them.  (Laughter.)  And while I’m very proud of what we’ve achieved together, I’m far more mindful of my own failings, knowing exactly what Lincoln meant when he said, "I have been driven to my knees many times by the overwhelming conviction that I had no place else to go."  (Applause.)
DRIVEN TO HIS KNEES WHILE GOD WAS REMOVED AND BOOED BY HIS PARTY

But as I stand here tonight, I have never been more hopeful about America.  Not because I think I have all the answers.  Not because I’m naïve about the magnitude of our challenges.  I’m hopeful because of you.
The young woman I met at a science fair who won national recognition for her biology research while living with her family at a homeless shelter -- she gives me hope.  (Applause.)
The autoworker who won the lottery after his plant almost closed, but kept coming to work every day, and bought flags for his whole town, and one of the cars that he built to surprise his wife -- he gives me hope.  (Applause.)

The family business in Warroad, Minnesota, that didn’t lay off a single one of their 4,000 employees when the recession hit, even when their competitors shut down dozens of plants, even when it meant the owner gave up some perks and some pay because they understood that their biggest asset was the community and the workers who had helped build that business -- they give me hope. (Applause.)

I think about the young sailor I met at Walter Reed hospital, still recovering from a grenade attack that would cause him to have his leg amputated above the knee.  Six months ago, we would watch him walk into a White House dinner honoring those who served in Iraq, tall and 20 pounds heavier, dashing in his uniform, with a big grin on his face, sturdy on his new leg.  And I remember how a few months after that I would watch him on a bicycle, racing with his fellow wounded warriors on a sparkling spring day, inspiring other heroes who had just begun the hard path he had traveled -- he gives me hope.  He gives me hope.  (Applause.)

I don’t know what party these men and women belong to.  I don’t know if they’ll vote for me.  But I know that their spirit defines us.  They remind me, in the words of Scripture, that ours is a "future filled with hope."
And if you share that faith with me -- if you share that hope with me -- I ask you tonight for your vote.  (Applause.)  If you reject the notion that this nation’s promise is reserved for the few, your voice must be heard in this election.  If you reject the notion that our government is forever beholden to the highest bidder, you need to stand up in this election.  (Applause.)
“I will bless you with a future filled with hope—a future of success, not of suffering.” – Jeremiah 29:11 

THIS REFERS TO THE STORY OF BABYLON AND BABYLONIAN EXILE OF THE JEWS, THE DESTRUCTION OF BABYLON AND THE RISE OF CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM. IT IS A MESSAGE TO THE OCCUPY MOVEMENT WHICH PARALLELS TODAYS WORLD WHERE A RICH UPPER CLASS IS CAST OUT BY A LOWER CLASS IN A REBELLION.

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah+29&version=NIV
http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Babylonian_Exile


 If you believe that new plants and factories can dot our landscape, that new energy can power our future, that new schools can provide ladders of opportunity to this nation of dreamers; if you believe in a country where everyone gets a fair shot, and everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same rules -- then I need you to vote this November.  (Applause.)

America, I never said this journey would be easy, and I won’t promise that now.  Yes, our path is harder, but it leads to a better place.  Yes, our road is longer, but we travel it together.  We don’t turn back.  We leave no one behind.  We pull each other up.  We draw strength from our victories, and we learn from our mistakes, but we keep our eyes fixed on that distant horizon, knowing that Providence is with us, and that we are surely blessed to be citizens of the greatest nation on Earth.

KOR  - All I see here is a RANT about CLASS ENVY. A 20 minute diatribe promoting JEALOUSY. 

Thou shalt not COVET.  

"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's."
To covet is to have the strong desire for the possession of others' specific personal properties or relationships, going beyond simply admiring someone Else's possessions or thinking "I'd like to have one of those." Coveting includes envy - resenting the fact that others have what you don't.


I see people being asked to be INSPIRED by a future where others will be made equal to you. The rich brought down to your level. The businesses and banks punished and fairness enacted. 

Are you INSPIRED by FAIRNESS? Fairness at the EXPENSE of your rich neighbor who has more than you?

Does the implied GUILT of your neighbors wealth and success, and the prospect of his demise make you feel better? 

Does it give you hope?
Is this the kind of change you want?

THIS IS THE WHOLE POINT OF THE 10TH COMMANDMENT! 

AND OBAMA IS ASKING YOU TO BREAK IT.  

THEY AUDITED THE FED - AND YOUR MONEY IS GONE!

KOR - So while you are busy with your holiday weekend, the government is hoping you are too busy watching football, drinking beer, swimming in a lake, boating, and cooking out to notice.

All those Ron Paul fans got their wish.
They Audited the Federal Reserve (The Fed) and the results were very bad.

The bill (H.R. 459), which has 270 co-sponsors, passed 327 to 98. All but one Republican -- Rep. Bob Turner of New York -- voted for it, along with 89 Democrats.

Here is a link to the passing of the Audit the Fed Bill:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/25/federal-reserve-audit-bill_n_1702879.html


Be careful what you ask for. You might not like the truth. You cant handle the truth.

Truth is this: The Fed has been recklessly loaning your money out to everyone in the world, BUT YOU.

The FED is loaning TRILLIONS of your money to banks, businesses, and countries.
Why? The banks have been using your personal accounts to play the stock market - and losing.
And those loans equal our national debt.  

This new bill takes a deeper look into a previous bill which audited the fed in which some deeply disturbing things were discovered you may never have heard of....

Paul teamed up with former Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) in 2010 to pass similar legislation that became part of the final Wall Street reform bill. But Paul has said new audit legislation is needed because the 2010 bill didn't go far enough. Specifically, he states on his website that the audit called for in the 2010 bill only focused on emergency credit programs and procedural issues, rather than on the substantive details of the lending transactions. The 2012 bill doesn't limit the focus of the audit.

Here is what the 2011 audit found out...

Senator Bernie Sanders, an Independent from Vermont posted on his web page a 255 page Government Accountability Office (GAO) report in PDF Format.

Here is that link: http://sanders.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/GAO%20Fed%20Investigation.pdf 

On Mr. Sanders website he wrote an analysis of this report.

Here is a link to his website: http://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/news/?id=9e2a4ea8-6e73-4be2-a753-62060dcbb3c3

Mr. Sanders analysis of this Report is as follows:

The first top-to-bottom audit of the Federal Reserve uncovered eye-popping new details...

"As a result of this audit, we now know that the Federal Reserve provided more than $16 trillion in total financial assistance to some of the largest financial institutions and corporations in the United States and throughout the world," said Sanders. "This is a clear case of socialism for the rich and rugged, you're-on-your-own individualism for everyone else." (Translation by KOR - We helped the banks - screw everyone else)
 
Among the investigation's key findings is that the Fed unilaterally provided trillions of dollars in financial assistance to foreign banks and corporations from South Korea to Scotland, according to the GAO report. "No agency of the United States government should be allowed to bailout a foreign bank or corporation without the direct approval of Congress and the president," Sanders said.
The non-partisan, investigative arm of Congress also determined that the Fed lacks a comprehensive system to deal with conflicts of interest, despite the serious potential for abuse.  In fact, according to the report, the Fed provided conflict of interest waivers to employees and private contractors so they could keep investments in the same financial institutions and corporations that were given emergency loans.

For example, the CEO of JP Morgan Chase served on the New York Fed's board of directors at the same time that his bank received more than $390 billion in financial assistance from the Fed.

Moreover, JP Morgan Chase served as one of the clearing banks for the Fed's emergency lending programs.

In another disturbing finding, the GAO said that on Sept. 19, 2008, William Dudley, who is now the New York Fed president, was granted a waiver to let him keep investments in AIG and General Electric at the same time AIG and GE were given bailout funds. (KOR - Didn't know we bailed out GE, the largest government contractor in the world)

One reason the Fed did not make Dudley sell his holdings, according to the audit, was that it might have created the appearance of a conflict of interest. (DUH)

To Sanders, the conclusion is simple. "No one who works for a firm receiving direct financial assistance from the Fed should be allowed to sit on the Fed's board of directors or be employed by the Fed," he said.

The investigation also revealed that the Fed outsourced most of its emergency lending programs to private contractors, many of which also were recipients of extremely low-interest and then-secret loans.

The Fed outsourced virtually all of the operations of their emergency lending programs to private contractors like JP Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and Wells Fargo.  The same firms also received trillions of dollars in Fed loans at near-zero interest rates. Altogether some two-thirds of the contracts that the Fed awarded to manage its emergency lending programs were no-bid contracts. Morgan Stanley was given the largest no-bid contract worth $108.4 million to help manage the Fed bailout of AIG.

KOR - I initally found this information from this link - http://beforeitsnews.com/economy/2012/09/first-audit-in-the-federal-reserves-nearly-100-year-history-were-posted-today-the-results-are-startling-2449770.html

here is a quote from this article:

The list of institutions that received the most money from the Federal Reserve can be found on page 131of the GAO Audit and are as follows..

Citigroup: $2.5 trillion ($2,500,000,000,000)
Morgan Stanley: $2.04 trillion ($2,040,000,000,000)
Merrill Lynch: $1.949 trillion ($1,949,000,000,000)
Bank of America: $1.344 trillion ($1,344,000,000,000)
Barclays PLC (United Kingdom): $868 billion ($868,000,000,000)
Bear Sterns: $853 billion ($853,000,000,000)
Goldman Sachs: $814 billion ($814,000,000,000)
Royal Bank of Scotland (UK): $541 billion ($541,000,000,000)
JP Morgan Chase: $391 billion ($391,000,000,000)
Deutsche Bank (Germany): $354 billion ($354,000,000,000)
UBS (Switzerland): $287 billion ($287,000,000,000)
Credit Suisse (Switzerland): $262 billion ($262,000,000,000)
Lehman Brothers: $183 billion ($183,000,000,000)
Bank of Scotland (United Kingdom): $181 billion ($181,000,000,000)
BNP Paribas (France): $175 billion ($175,000,000,000)
and many many more including banks in Belgium of all places

$16,000,000,000,000.00 had been secretly given out to US banks and corporations and foreign banks everywhere from France to Scotland. From the period between December 2007 and June 2010, the Federal Reserve had secretly bailed out many of the world’s banks, corporations, and governments. The Federal Reserve likes to refer to these secret bailouts as an all-inclusive loan program, but virtually none of the money has been returned and it was loaned out at 0% interest. (KOR - WHERE CAN WE GET THAT KIND OF DEAL ASSHOLES!)Why the Federal Reserve had never been public about this or even informed the United States Congress about the $16 trillion dollar bailout is obvious – the American public would have been outraged to find out that the Federal Reserve bailed out foreign banks while Americans were struggling to find jobs.

KOR - $16 TRILLION! Wait.... that number sounds familiar?

We OWE $16 TRILLION IN DEBT!

WHAT.... A ..... CO....INCIDENCE!

So, you might be asking yourself....... SO??

Well, when you pair these two findings together....

You might realize, that every dollar we borrow IN DEBT....
we are turning around and LOANING to these Banks, Companies, and Countries!

Well, what does that mean?

WE DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY!

We are taking CHINAS money, and handing it out to these guys!
Not USA money...
Not Federal Reserve Money...
CHINA.

The people who we BORROW from will surely not be too happy to learn, that our entire financial system
is COMPLETELY being supported BY OUR CREDITORS.

THEY HAVE MORTGAGED AMERICA!

And, guess what?

IT GETS WORSE!!!

This means that OUR BANKS are having to be bailed out? WHY?

BECAUSE THEY LOST OUR MONEY!!!!

Did you know, that your money in the bank... IS NO LONGER YOURS!

The COURTS have RULED against you!

“there is a new 7th Circuit opinion saying that there is no reason to impose a constructive trust on a lender’s takings of customers’ funds from client commodity firms that were used (inappropriately) to secure the firms’ borrowings, as long as the lender can say that it did not know WITH CERTAINTY that customers’ funds were being repledged. Negligence and misappropriation (vs. knowing criminal intent) are now a sufficient excuse for letting the lender keep the money and go to the head of the line for distributions in bankruptcies of the client commodity firms.”

Here is an article explaining this: http://theintelhub.com/2012/08/24/customer-deposits-are-property-of-the-bank-close-your-account-now/  

So a bank, made a short term loan, and LOST IT'S ASS. They got sued.

THEY GOT OFF! 

In June of 2012, Eric Bloom, former chief executive, and Charles Mosely, head trader of Sentinel Management Group (SMG) were indicted for stealing $500 million in customer secured funds.
Both Mosely and Bloom were accused of “exposing” customer segregated funds “to a portfolio of highly risky derivatives.”

These customer funds were used to “back up personal investments” which were part of “collateral for a loan from Bank of New York Mellon” (BNYM).

This loan derived from stolen customer monies was “used to purchase millions of dollars worth of high-risk, illiquid securities, including collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs, for a trading portfolio that benefited Sentinel’s officers, including Mosley, Bloom and certain Bloom family members.”

Fast forward to August 9th of 2012, and the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals (CCA) rules that BNYM can be moved to first in line of creditors over the customers that had their funds stolen by SMG.
When a banking customer deposits their money into their bank account, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SPIC) are in place to protect the customer from fraud or theft.

The ruling from the CCA means that these regulatory systems will not insure customer funds, investments, depositors and retirees who hold accounts in banks.

In fact, the banking institution is now legally allowed to use those customer funds deposited as collateral, payment on debts for loans made, or free use on the stock market to purchase investments as the bank sees fit.


THEY ARE LEGALLY GAMBLING YOUR MONEY - USING YOUR BANK ACCOUNTS
AS COLLATERAL FOR RISKY STOCK MARKET INVESTMENTS!

They got away with it: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/08/10/us-sentinel-appeals-decision-idUSBRE87900T20120810


When a customer deposits money into a bank, the bank essentially issues a promise to have those funds available when the customer returns to withdraw the deposited amount.

When the same customer withdraws funds from their account (whether checking or savings) the customer assumes that the bank has enough funds to cover their withdrawal; including the presumption that their monies are separate from the bank’s assets.

Now, those funds are up for grabs by the bank at their discretion without explanation to the customer – nor is the bank obligated to recoup the customer should they “lose” those funds due to bad loans, bankruptcy or stock market loss.

Customer funds are no longer secure, no longer backed by the FDIC or other insurance corporations, and banks are legally allowed to co-mingled customer money with other funds of the bank. The only safe place for your money is with you.

Now is the time to close your bank account.

INFORMATION LIKE THIS WILL DESTROY PEOPLES CONFIDENCE IN OUR ENTIRE BANKING SYSTEM! 

THEIR WILL BE RUNS ON THE BANKS IF THIS GETS OUT.

TROUBLE IS BREWING...BE PREPARED

KOR REPORT 5-10-12

Finally all that groping of old women and children by the TSA has paid off! They finally found another underwear bomb! Oh and it was on a Arab Guy..... who'd a thunk it?

china was caught exporting herbal remedy pills containing ground up dead babies, who knew "other natural flavors" meant people?

Congratulations to obama! On the eve of osamas capture, you foiled another underware bomber! This evil conspirator was working from inside the CIA as an informant. It feels good to know the CIA is keeping tabs on its own employees, and making sure they dont try to kill us! This is a fine piece of investigative work! Finding a terroroist who works for you, who your paying to hang out with other terrorist.... how did you find him!

Obama finally creating jobs! Today Divorce Lawyers across america cheered Obama's support of Gay marriage. With this great new customer base they will surely need to hire more staff to handle the extra business!

CNN Reporter Brooke Baldwin announced Obama finished his evolution on gay marriage and rush limbaugh said it was like he turned into a butterfly! Which thankfully is the end of the metamorphic process before a worm dies.

the federal reserve approved china opening banks in the usa - now we can sell our childrens futures directly to china and skip the government middleman!

The un says we must give back mount rushmore and other lands promised to the indians by treaties with the us government. This sounds like a great idea, and I think we should start with the land the UN is sitting on!

when you visit the whitehouse, and your pregnant, you have to register your unborn child with the visitors office, unless your baby is unwanted, then you can simply write in the name Barry

but ... but wait... unborn babies... are not people.... so maybe we should pass a law requiring a visitor register at all abortion clinics?

masachusetts has banned bake sales, and california has banned  lemonade sales... did I mention the nazi's and socialist got elected again in europe?

STOP THE PENIS WAR!

My penis is costing me a thousand dollars a year to maintain. I want healthcare that will provide safe ejaculatory services at a reasonable cost. I should be able to freely use my penis without persecution. Stop this war on my penis!

There is no readily available affordable ejaculatory treatment for this normal bodily function. I have to face the embarrassment of walking into a drug store with an erection to buy magazines and Kleenex to deal with this hardship that I must keep locked away in secrecy in my bathroom.

Over the course of a 3 year college degree this may cost me over $15000 dollars!

If men could simply copulate in a safe manner without being treated as perverts then that would reduce healthcare costs from unwanted pregnancy, abortions, sexually transmitted disease, welfare .... just provide public masturbation service for all men.

Not to mention the incalculable savings from the reduction of male aggression. How many billion of dollars are being sucked out of our budget by testosterone rage driven wars? How many women are being treated for abuse from horney men who cannot recieve any of the help they need to treat this daily torture?

Society just spits in our faces like we are some sort of deviant. We did not choose this condition. We were born into it. Our sexuality is not a choice, it is genetic. We are born this way. And we should not be punished for seeking the medically necessary treatment we need from our bulging scrotum.

Yet they continue to hit us where it hurts. Our wallet. Excessive taxes on pornography, child support, anti-prostitution laws all forcing us to take our bodies, and our rights, and shove them into some back alley dark dirty glory hole, and be ashamed.

How dare the government stick their nose into our business.

It is time society open up to the plight of men all over the world and allow us the free and unrestricted access to this 100% effective form of birth control.

KOR REPORT 3-1-12

journalist andrew breitbart passed away last night. He recently said he had video of obamas college days that would be coming out soon. But unfortunatly mr breitbart was buried at sea this afternoon.

bernanke says were heading for a fiscal cliff, hopefully we can get a republican president elected again so we can get back in the ditch where its safe!

So a bald eagle is protected as an egg and is regarded as a precious animal and is protected from conception to death with fines and prison. Why again do we think abortion is ok?

Olympia Snowe announced she will be retiring after 18 years in congress. Her run as a senator has been amazing! Especially to scientists who were baffled her longevity. Who knew snowe could last 18 years in hell?

the military is building a soccer field at the prison at guantanimo bay, cuba, with a price tag of 750 thousand dollars. Games at the field will be as realistic as possible so the prisoners will feel right at home. As is tradition, the losing team will be executed by an angry mob.

Jessie jackson says its an HONOR to be the food stamp president. Because food stamps employ people. They also aparently cure cancer, neutralize nuclear radiation, cause rainbows, and are the force.

CRAZY LOUIE farrikahn says that racial hatred could lead to obama getting assassinated.... but no worry louie... one thing is keeping him safe...
two words.... PRESIDENT BIDEN

Democratic governers met with obama this week discussing ways to bypass congress and further their agenda. Unfortunatly it was from the 51st thru 57th states...

“In spite of the demonstrated liberal leanings in academia, we have nothing but respect for the nation’s scientists. They represent America’s best hope to protect the environment. We support a dramatic increase in science and technology research and development because we desperately need to understand global climate change and other environmental phenomena.” — Newt Gingrich, A Contract with the Earth (p. 201)
“If you import a commercial quantity of illegal drugs, it is because you have made the personal decision that you are prepared to get rich by destroying our children. I have made the decision that I love our children enough that we will kill you if you do this.” — Newt Gingrich (source)
“What we’re being told is that free trade with Mexico would devastate the U.S. economy. With its low wages, Mexico would unleash a flood of cheap imports into our markets.

A: “Yes.

“The American challenge in leading the world is compounded by our Constitution. Under our [constitutional system] – either we’re going to have to rethink our Constitution, or we’re going to have to rethink our process of decision-making.” He went on to profess an oxymoronic belief in “very strong but limited federal government,” and pledged, “I am for the United Nations.” — Newt Gingrich, July 1995, speech at the Center for Strategic & International Affairs (source)

On executing people for drug offenses: “The first time we execute 27 or 30 or 35 people at one time, and they go around Colombia and France and Thailand and Mexico, and they say, ‘Hi, would you like to carry some drugs into the U.S.?’ the price of carrying drugs will have gone up dramatically.” — Newt Gingrich, 1995 (NY Times)
“See, when I smoked pot it was illegal, but not immoral. Now, it is illegal AND immoral. The law didn’t change, only the morality… That’s why you get to go to jail and I don’t.” — Newt Gingrich, 8/8/1996, Wall Street Journal (source)
When asked if he would change or repeal the Patriot Act: “No, I would not change it. I’m not aware of any specific change it needs. And I’d look at strengthening it, because I think the dangers are literally that great.” — Newt Gingrich, 11/22/2011, CNN Debate (source)
“This is, by the way, one of the great tragedies of the Bush Administration. The more successful they’ve been at intercepting and stopping bad guys, the less proof there is that we’re in danger. And therefore the better they’ve done at making sure there isn’t an attack, the easier it is to say that there was never going to be an attack anyways. And its almost like they should, every once in a while, have allowed an attack to get through, just to remind us. Think about the psychology. Why do we wrap up so many people? Well, because we wiretapped. And again, I’m going to be a little controversial. I would divide the FBI into two agencies. I would have an anti-domestic-crime FBI which was very cautious, very respectful of civil liberties. You are innocent until proven guilty. And I would have a small but VERY aggressive anti-terrorism agency. And I would frankly give them EXTRAORDINARY ability to eavesdrop. And my first advice to civil libertarians is simple: Don’t plot with terrorists.” — Newt Gingrich, 4/29/2008 (source)
In March 1993, I got an assistance program I could support: $1.6 billion in direct aid to help Russia stabilize. Although a public poll said that 75% of the American people were opposed to giving Russia more money, and we were already in a hard fight for the economic plan, I felt we had no choice but to press ahead. American had spent trillions of dollars in defense to win the Cold War; we couldn’t risk reversal over less that $2 billion and a bad poll. To the surprise of my staff, the congressional leaders, including the Republicans, agreed with me. At a meeting I convened to push the plan, Senator Joe Biden, the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, strongly endorsed the aid package. Newt Gingrich was passionately in favor of helping Russia, saying it was a “great defining moment” for American and we had to do the right thing. — Bill Clinton, 2004 (My Life, p. 506-507).
“Professor Gingrich hopefully will never be called upon to teach a course in the proper role of our federal government. His rare votes against bloated big government usually have been prompted by the partisan wrangling of the moment, not by any great respect for, or understanding of, the Constitution.” –James Toft of “Tax Reform Immediately” (TRIM)

Whitney houston died this week.
Governor Chris Christy announced that flags in New Jersey
were to be flown at half staff.
In a strange twist her funeral will be broadcast live on the internet.
It is rumored that this will be her best performance in years!

Also it was rumored that north korean leader kim jon un had been assassinated this week
but that rumor was quickly resolved after checking the illinois voter register
where they did not find kim as a registered democrat voter, which means he is not dead.
however their was a lady named whitney houston

dhs intercepted thousands of unsafe hair-dryers coming across the mexican border.
Hey um janet, thats not exactly the kind of blow we need you to stop coming across the border!

obama said this week that he did not know how bad the economy was going to be.
as a matter of fact he underestimated the budget deficit by 138%
and recently congress had to again raise our debt ceiling to over 16 trillion
but obama said not to worry, he had a hot stock tip about a new solar company

Obama wants to cut our nuclear arsenal by 80%,
which would mean we will have less weapons than china
but it really doesnt matter because at this point any nukes we bought
would be paid for with chinese money
and besides a chinese nuclear warhead would probably just break the first time they used it

On MONDAY obama announced his truth team.
Their first task was to clear up the matter regarding obamas birth certificate
in a related story -
on TUESDAY obama signed an executive order dissolving his truth team.

Joy bahair on the view said it is wrong to make women
view an ultrasound of a baby in their uteris before an abortion.
Joy you should see how awful it is to see your uteris from our perspective!

LA county has outlawed playing with toys on their beaches
and is issuing a $1000 fine for violaters.
Nobody has been issued a citation yet because
they are all too high from their legal marajuana to organize a game of frisbee.
They would rather stay home and play gears of war on their xbox

It was announced this week that last year the fcc provided 1.6 billion dollars
in free cell phone service to low income familes.
But since recent studies have shown a realtionship between cell phones and cancer
michelle obama has decided to replace the phones with something more healthy.
So now all poor people will be required to communicate
by actually walking down to the corner to buy drugs with their WELFARE checks!
