WAFF-TV: News, Weather and Sports for Huntsville, AL
SEASIDE HEIGHTS, NEW JERSEY (WAFF) -
The hurricane-ravaged east coast has been receiving north Alabama help, but crews from Huntsville Utilities learned they'll be doing work in Long Island, New York instead of in New Jersey.
Crews from Huntsville, as well as Decatur Utilities and Joe Wheeler out of Trinity headed up there this week, but Derrick Moore, one of the Decatur workers, said they were told by crews in New Jersey that they can't do any work there since they're not union employees.
The crews that are in Roanoke, Virginia say they are just watching and waiting even though they originally received a call asking for help from Seaside Heights, New Jersey.
The crews were told to stand down. In fact, Moore said the crew from Trinity is already headed back home.
Understandably, Moore said they're frustrated being told "thanks, but no thanks."

(People are dumpster diving for food and the union in new jersey tells the Alabama utilities crew they don't want their help because they are not union. Idiots are controlling this union.) Story Reports

Can obama postpone the election because of the perfect storm?
(Obama would try if he thought it would help his election chances. Its more likely that the states could postpone elections if state law allows it, as does Virginia, which could be hit hard by Sandy. Governor Bob McDonnell can postpone the election for up to 14 days. Obama's lawyers would be sure to have another month long spectacle like bush/gore in 2000. It would be an a "crisis" that he would not let go to waste. I'm sure if obama see's he going to lose he will take a crisis and use it to steal the election.)Story Reports

Hurricane Sandy Could Interrupt Election In Some States
It's been called "snowicane" and "worse than the perfect storm," and it could knock out power in the mid-Atlantic through Election Day.
Hurricane Sandy hasn't even made it past the Bahamas yet, but Sandy, or any natural disaster around Election Day, could wreak extreme havoc on the election, experts say.
Political scientists have long studied the effects of rain and inclement weather on voter turnout and, not surprisingly, have found many people would rather stay at home than brave the weather. But more extreme storms or natural disasters that affect an entire state or region could turn a mild inconvenience into a huge mess.
That's because there are few federal election procedure laws, Robert Pastor, co-director of the Center for Democracy and Election Management says. Election process is generally left up to state or local governments, who Pastor says are "least capable of handling a statewide or regional disaster."
Most states have contingency plans in case a state of emergency is declared on Election Day. In Virginia, which could be hit hard by Sandy, Governor Bob McDonnell can postpone the election for up to 14 days, leading to all sorts of logistical issues.
If, for instance, the election came down to a late-voting Virginia "there'd probably be an outlandish intervention of Super PAC money as well as regular campaign spending," says John Hudak, a governance studies fellow at Brookings. "It would be quite the carnival . . . you'd have a very serious constitutional situation occurring."
It'd also represent a field day for lawyers. Congress has the power to formally protest Electoral College votes from states they feel are tainted, as long as one member from each house agrees to bring it to a vote. If a majority of both houses vote to reject the votes from a certain state, they are thrown out.
"If you have a situation where [a] state has delayed its voting and that one had an impact on the outcome, we'd see a movement to reconsider those votes," he says. For the sake of sanity, let's hope it doesn't happen."
Most, but not all states require backup paper ballots at polling stations that use electronic voting machines. Says Pastor: "If there is a region wide natural disaster that shuts down power, there's a high-probability that we will lose votes. In a close election, that'll ensure there will be serious electoral disputes."
Pastor says a natural disaster that impacts the election would "stretch the fabric of American Democracy to the point of being torn" because, in many cases, local disputes over voting "would be addressed in an area where one party is largely dominant and the rules are extremely weak."
(Keep in mind its the electorial college that votes to put the president in office. These votes can be challenged in the house and senate if only 1 senator and 1 congressman does the challenge. In 2008 there were NO patriots in congress to challenge the natural born citizenship of obama as they should have done. Congress should also have challenged all the electorial votes in all 50 states because obama was certified by the democratic party he was qualified to be on the ballot. He was not because the democrates relied on an online short form certificate of live birth which had not been verified by hawaii or anyone one else! The democratic party never contacted hawaii and verified his US citizenship.) Story Reports

Navy seal's machine gun they were firing was encrusted with blood.
(When I heard this on the radio I stopped to think what it meant. It means these Americans did every thing they could to save themselves and the others from the terrorist attacks that obama himself had allowed to happen.
These brave Americans were not only fighting local obama sponsored killers they were in effect defending themselves against the person in the white house who is an ally of their enemy!

Benghazi Consulate Could Have Used Marines With Bayonets
Scandal: More than six hours after terrorists attacked our consulate, former Navy SEALs manned a blood-soaked machine gun to defend U.S. territory. Meanwhile Apache helicopters sat on the ground in Italy.
At 4 a.m. local time on Sept. 11 — six hours and 20 minutes after the initial attack began — former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were killed at the CIA annex not far from the consulate by a mortar shell. The machine gun they were firing was encrusted with blood, an indication they continued to fight after being wounded.
During that eternity, Woods and Doherty might have wondered between gunfire and explosions where the military, with bases strewn across Europe, was. U.S. forces were indeed being moved like chess pieces as the attack unfolded, but none came to their aid because no one gave the order.
President Obama, perhaps preoccupied with his upcoming Las Vegas fundraiser, met with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Vice President Joe Biden in the Oval Office at 5 p.m. ET, a little more than an hour after the onset of the attack.
He could have given the order but did not, even after an email, in which the al-Qaida-tied group Ansar al-Sharia claimed responsibility, arrived at 6:07 p.m. ET to a distribution list that included the White House Situation Room.
A Special Operations force went from central Europe to Naval Air Station Sigonella in southern Italy, just 480 miles from Benghazi. F-16s and Apache helicopters remained parked and unused at Aviano Air Base in northern Italy. Two Navy destroyers already in the Mediterranean Sea were moved off the coast of Libya on the day of the attack but were never used.
The question is: Why not?
Some suggest that sending nearby AC-130 gunships or Apaches would have been futile because in the chaos they couldn't have identified the attackers and might have hit innocents. A few well-timed machine gun bursts at nowhere in particular would have been sufficient to disperse the jihadists. We know there was no protest mob in the way and certainly we could have plucked those two heroic SEALs off the annex roof.
But to send help would have acknowledged it was a terrorist attack. It would have destroyed Team Obama's campaign mantra that Osama bin Laden was dead, al-Qaida was destroyed and the Arab Spring was in full bloom. Better to blame a filmmaker and his obscure video.

CIA operators, navy seals, were denied request for help during Benghazi attack.
Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that an urgent request from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. consulate and subsequent attack several hours later on the annex itself was denied by the CIA chain of command -- who also told the CIA operators twice to "stand down" rather than help the ambassador's team when shots were heard at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11.
Former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods was part of a small team who was at the CIA annex about a mile from the U.S. consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens and his team came under attack. When he and others heard the shots fired, they informed their higher-ups at the annex to tell them what they were hearing and requested permission to go to the consulate and help out. They were told to "stand down," according to sources familiar with the exchange. Soon after, they were again told to "stand down."
Woods and at least two others ignored those orders and made their way to the consulate which at that point was on fire. Shots were exchanged. The rescue team from the CIA annex evacuated those who remained at the consulate and Sean Smith, who had been killed in the initial attack. They could not find the ambassador and returned to the CIA annex at about midnight.
At that point, they called again for military support and help because they were taking fire at the CIA safe house, or annex. The request was denied. There were no communications problems at the annex, according those present at the compound. The team was in constant radio contact with their headquarters. In fact, at least one member of the team was on the roof of the annex manning a heavy machine gun when mortars were fired at the CIA compound. The security officer had a laser on the target that was firing and repeatedly requested back-up support from a Spectre gunship, which is commonly used by U.S. Special Operations forces to provide support to Special Operations teams on the ground involved in intense firefights.
The fighting at the CIA annex went on for more than four hours -- enough time for any planes based in Sigonella Air base, just 480 miles away, to arrive. Fox News has also learned that two separate Tier One Special operations forces were told to wait, among them Delta Force operators.
A Special Operations team, or CIF which stands for Commanders in Extremis Force, operating in Central Europe had been moved to Sigonella, Italy, but they were never told to deploy. In fact, a Pentagon official says there were never any requests to deploy assets from outside the country. A second force that specializes in counterterrorism rescues was on hand at Sigonella, according to senior military and intelligence sources. According to those sources, they could have flown to Benghazi in less than two hours. They were the same distance to Benghazi as those that were sent from Tripoli. Spectre gunships are commonly used by the Special Operations community to provide close air support.
According to sources on the ground during the attack, the special operator on the roof of the CIA annex had visual contact and a laser pointing at the Libyan mortar team that was targeting the CIA annex. The operators were calling in coordinates of where the Libyan forces were firing from.
"Defense Secretary" Leon Panetta told reporters at the Pentagon on Thursday that there was not a clear enough picture of what was occurring on the ground in Benghazi to send help.
(Comrad panetta lied for the liar obama. The seal had a laser pointing at the libyan motar team and he was asking for help, but panetta and obama denied him any help. The navy seal was in fact asking friends of our enemies for help. Panetta,clinton and obama are all traitors and should be removed from office and tried for treason now!)Story Reports)

Is this the obama october suprise?
Ahmadi Nezhad's New Task: Presenting Mehdi To The World ie Barack Hueesin Obama This article is from the Iran Press Serivce. Nov 14th 2008 just after obama was "elected". Obama is not just an empty suit. Iran thinks he is the 12th imam. We would say the antichrist.
Iran has declared obama to be the 12th imam in the past.
(If you are not "chained" to obama your aware that the usurper in the white house will do or say anything that will promote his agenda. The WND article below is an example of an attempt to "cook the books" or in this case "cook the election" results. Obama has been exposed as a total failure. His defense of the US consists of telling our enemies that the US is the problem and they are always correct.
Obama just needs an ok from the enemy to proceed. So he is going to get an ok from iran that they will halt part of its nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of many of the U.S. sanctions against the Islamic regime.
Once Khamenei receives Obama’s guarantees, he will authorize an announcement by Iran on a solution to the nuclear crisis before the U.S. presidential elections.
If the iran regime is provided a lifeline from the obama regime for whatever reason, not only will it get the bomb but it will take Iranians and the world hostage.
Obama can count on his fellow brothers in iran for "help" when he needs it.
Obama should get a boost in his election chances. This is the equivalent of stuffing the ballot box chicago style.
Currently Romney is on track to win because obama has been shown to be lacking in his "debates" with Romney.
Obama is lacking because he is a media creation without merit.
He lacks the ability to handle people without a teleprompter, sppech or a prearranged setting.
This was revealed in his first debate with Ronmey.
Obama was acting like the affirmative action failure that he really is.
Hopefully the fake boost obama will get, because he will give his Khamenei a "guarantee", will not allow him to scam us again and win another "election".
Obama only needs to hear that iran will stop making bombs in the future.
Of course iran will not stop making bombs at any time but obama will fool some into thinking he has achieved a great deplomatic achievement.
Of course iran already has made nuclear bombs and will use them if given a chance.
Obama is giving them a chance. Obama is also trying to keep himself in office.) Story Reports

ranian and U.S. negotiators have reached an agreement that calls for Iran to halt part of its nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of many of the U.S. sanctions against the Islamic regime, according to a highly placed source.
Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, expects a letter from President Obama in a few days guaranteeing the details of the agreement, arrived at recently during secret negotiations in Doha, Qatar.
The source, who remains anonymous for security reasons and is highly placed in Iran’s regime, said that once Khamenei receives Obama’s guarantees, he will authorize an announcement by Iran on a solution to the nuclear crisis before the U.S. presidential elections.
The agreement calls for Iran to announce a temporary halt to partial uranium enrichment after which the U.S. will remove many of its sanctions, including those on the Iranian central bank, no later than by the Iranian New Year in March. Iran is in the throes of massive inflation and citizen unrest because of the sanctions.
French intelligence verified today that Yukiya Amano, the current director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, has been given the go-ahead by the U.S. to be ready to travel to Iran and announce the agreement, according to Hamid Reza Zakeri, a former intelligence officer in the regime who has defected to Europe.
The source in Tehran said Khamenei has made it clear that unless he receives Obama’s written guarantees, he will not begin the process, which would dramatically boost Obama’s re-election chances. If the guarantees are not given, Khamenei has warned, Iran will speed up its nuclear program.
The guarantees would ensure the regime’s right to peaceful enrichment, quickly remove many of the sanctions, accept that Iran’s nuclear program does not have a military dimension and relieve international pressure on the regime while it continues its nuclear program. Also, the U.S. would announce that the killing of Iranian nuclear scientists was the work of a foreign country, though Israel would not be named, to increase legal pressure on Israel.
According to the Iranian source, a previous Obama letter to Khamenei indicated that it’s best for the regime not to give any motive to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities, a message that was re-emphasized in the Qatar negotiations.
As reported exclusively by WND Oct. 4, a three-person delegation led by a woman on behalf of the Obama administration traveled to Qatar about Oct. 1 and met with Iranian counterparts, including Ali Akbar Velayati, the former foreign minister of the Islamic regime and a close adviser to Khamenei on international matters.
In the meeting, according to the source, the U.S. delegation urged an announcement, even if only on a temporary nuclear deal, before the U.S. elections to help Obama get re-elected. A Romney presidency, the delegation said, would surely move more toward Israel, and the Iranians were reminded that Obama has stood up to Israel against any plans to attack Iran. The regime’s delegate was urged to understand that if Iran does not stand by Obama, Israel will attack Iran.
Days after the WND report, Ali Akbar Salehi, the regime’s foreign minister, in an
interview with the German magazine Der Spiegel, stated, “If our right to enrichment is guaranteed, we are prepared to offer an exchange.”
The same message was relayed by several other officials of the regime.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said recently in Kazakhstan that the sanctions can be lifted immediately if Tehran worked with world powers to address questions about its nuclear program.
In the Qatar meeting, according to the Iranian source, the American woman delegate, who has had several meetings with Velayati during the past several years, jokingly told Velayati that she will be the next secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development in a second Obama administration and that it would be wise for Iranians to invest in U.S. real estate.
In the past five months, four meetings were held in the U.S. with the Islamic regime’s surrogates to hash out what was to be discussed at the Doha meeting. The source identified Valerie Jarrett, a senior Obama adviser, as the head of the U.S. effort to engage Iran. Also identified was Cyrus Amir Mokri, assistant secretary of the Treasury Department for financial institutions, as another member advising the president on the issue.
Jarrett’s family has known the Velayati family since their stay in Iran in the 1950s, the source added. Jarrett’s father worked at the Namazi hospital in Shiraz, owned by an Iranian family that has been influential with the regime after the Islamic Revolution.
WND contacted both the U.S. State Department and the White House, asking about the Doha negotiations, who led the delegation from the U.S., whether Obama will provide the written guarantee, what negotiations the U.S. has pursued on its own and what is known about Amano’s plan to travel to Iran for the announcement.
The State Department declined to respond to multiple calls as well as email inquiries. A spokeswoman said the White House would not comment.
The European Union, which increased sanctions on Iran last week, fears back-channel negotiations between the Obama administration and Iran will leave it out. EU leaders are seeking to send a group of representatives from seven European countries to Tehran to strengthen their position with the regime over the nuclear program and their economic interests.
The Iranian currency, meanwhile, has hit another historic low, falling to 43,000 rials to one U.S. dollar. As reported recently, a secret memo by the Intelligence Ministry to regime officials has warned of major riots in Iran due to dire economic conditions.
Another internal report by the government’s Economic Commission indicated that government foreign currency reserves will run out in the coming months and that it will have difficulty meeting payrolls for public employees who could lose 50 percent of their pay.
Many within the Iranian opposition believe that if the West continues to pressure the Islamic regime and supports the aspirations of the majority of the Iranian people who resent the regime and its ideology, the regime will face a nationwide uprising and will collapse from within, changing the geopolitics of not only the region but the world.
However, if the regime is provided a lifeline for whatever reason, not only will it get the bomb but it will take Iranians and the world hostage for decades to come, they believe.
An Oct. 8 WND report revealed another secret nuclear site in Iran. The regime’s nuclear scientists have successfully completed testing of a neutron detonator and have nearly completed design of a nuclear warhead.

When textbooks etc become digital only it will easier to rerwite history.
(Hitler burned books when he came into power. This is history. Going all digital is similar to "burning" books to hide the truth or rewrite history for propaganda purposes. It will be too easy to change facts if the only way for poeple to read the facts is in digital form. If its on the web or text book digital form only then the "government" can and will dictate what you read. Obama and his fellow comrades lie or twist the facts. Obama does not want you to know the truth about who he is and what his real agenda is for America. Just think how easy it would be if everything was in digital form to deceive the public. Its what the "government" wants now. Its what the state run media is doing now, propaganda hitler style!) Story Reports

Education chief wants textbooks to become obsolete.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Worried your kids spend too much time with their faces buried in a computer screen? Their schoolwork may soon depend on it.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan called Tuesday for the nation to move as fast as possible away from printed textbooks and toward digital ones. "Over the next few years, textbooks should be obsolete," he declared.
It's not just a matter of keeping up with the times, Duncan said in remarks to the National Press Club. It's about keeping up with other countries whose students are leaving their American counterparts in the dust.
South Korea, which consistently outperforms the U.S. when it comes to educational outcomes, is moving far faster than the U.S. in adopting digital learning environments. One of the most wired countries in the world, South Korea has set a goal to go fully digital with its textbooks by 2015.
"The world is changing," Duncan said. "This has to be where we go as a country."
The transition to digital involves much more than scanning books and uploading them to computers, tablet devices or e-readers. Proponents describe a comprehensive shift to immersive, online learning experiences that engage students in a way a textbook never could.
A student studying algebra might click to watch a video clip explaining a new concept or property. If they get stuck, interactive help features could figure out the problem. Personalized quizzes ensure they're not missing anything — and if they are, bring them up to speed before they move on to the next lesson. Social networking allows students to interact with teachers and each other even when school isn't in session.
Using digital textbooks, schools can save money on hard copies and get updated material to students more quickly. School districts may also be able to pick and choose their curriculum buffet-style. A district might choose one publisher's top-notch chapter on Shakespeare, but follow it with another publisher's section on Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter."
But adopting digital textbooks isn't as easy as a directive from Washington. States set their own processes for selecting and purchasing textbooks that match their needs.
Over the last two years, at least 22 states have taken major strides toward digital textbooks, said Douglas Levin, executive director of the State Educational Technology Directors Association. Until recently, Levin said, states struggled to collaborate because each had its own curricular standards, a particular burden for smaller states. That burden has been eased now that 48 states and the District of Columbia have adopted the Common Core standards, a set of uniform benchmarks for math and reading.
"There are opportunities for the federal government to encourage states and districts not to reinvent the wheel," Levin said.
A school district in Huntsville, Ala., launched an effort over the summer to become the first district to transition fully to digital textbooks. To do that, the district must first ensure every student has either a laptop or a tablet computer. In California, Gov. Jerry Brown signed a pair of bills in September aiming to make his state a national leader in electronic college textbooks.
Still, many districts, already buckling from diminished budgets, don't have the bandwidth or the equipment to make digital materials available to every student. That's created a new challenge for the educational publishing industry as it works to market products to district across the technological spectrum.
"We haven't produced anything that's print-only in over three years. One hundred percent of what we have is available to school districts electronically," said Vineet Madan, senior vice president of new ventures for McGraw-Hill Education.
A central tension in the movement toward digital materials is what it means for textbook publishers whose profits rely on replacing old, worn-out textbooks with new ones. Yet to be seen is whether textbooks, like music, will become easy to steal or copy without payment, or whether the industry will find new ways to make money off of teaching materials.

Education chief wants textbooks to become obsolete.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Worried your kids spend too much time with their faces buried in a computer screen? Their schoolwork may soon depend on it.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan called Tuesday for the nation to move as fast as possible away from printed textbooks and toward digital ones. "Over the next few years, textbooks should be obsolete," he declared.
It's not just a matter of keeping up with the times, Duncan said in remarks to the National Press Club. It's about keeping up with other countries whose students are leaving their American counterparts in the dust.
South Korea, which consistently outperforms the U.S. when it comes to educational outcomes, is moving far faster than the U.S. in adopting digital learning environments. One of the most wired countries in the world, South Korea has set a goal to go fully digital with its textbooks by 2015.
"The world is changing," Duncan said. "This has to be where we go as a country."

Obamacare kicks in even more in 2013 so major businesses are preparing now
The U.S. Labor Department reported the economy added 114,000 jobs in September and the unemployment rate fell to 7.8 percent, its lowest level since early 2009.
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney released a statement saying: "This is not what a real recovery looks like. We created fewer jobs in September than in August, and fewer jobs in August than in July, and we've lost over 600,000 manufacturing jobs since President Obama took office."
There was skepticism about the Labor Department report.
Doug Holtz-Eakin, a former director of the Congressional Budget Office (2003-05) and an adviser to the 2008 presidential campaign of U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., told Fox News: "This must be an anomaly. It is out of line with any of the other data ..."
U.S. Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., was emphatic, telling CBNC he is "absolutely" convinced the Obama administration is manipulating the data.
"I'm very questionable of what we do see coming out of this administration because the numbers don't add up," West said. "Something is inconsistent here and that is what I'm questioning."
Romney and his allies have said that, until the report that came out Friday, the unemployment rate remained at more than 8 percent for more than 40 months, and blamed the administration.
The Labor Department report said 12.1 million people were unemployed, a drop of 456,000 from the previous month.
That figure is critical because 342,000 more people dropped out of the workforce than gained employment in September. The September rate fell to 7.8 percent in part because it reflected an increase in the number of jobs initially reported in July and August.
Although the number is officially described as representing people who elected to care for a relative at home or return to school, many did so because they were simply too discouraged to continue looking for work.
Chris Williamson, chief economist at research firm Markit Economics, said, "The average payroll gain of 146,000 seen over the past three months is surprisingly strong given other economic data for the quarter, such as factory orders and the Institute of Supply Management and Purchasing Management Index surveys, which have pointed to a growth slowdown."
University of Maryland economics Professor Peter Morici called the September job gains "uninspiring" and said, "In the weakest recovery since the Great Depression, the nearly entire reduction in unemployment from its 10 percent peak ... has been ... through a significant drop in the percentage of adults participating in the labor force."

News max Restaurant Chain Cuts Hours to Avoid Obamacare Costs
A major restaurant group, Darden Restaurants, which owns the Red Lobster, Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, and Yard House chains, is experimenting with cutting its employees hours in the hopes of cutting the costs of healthcare.
Darden Restaurants, which owns the Red Lobster, Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, and Yard House chains has stopped offering full-time schedules to hourly workers, the Orlando Sentinel reports. The company plans to offer a maximum of 28 hours per week per employee.
The test is being conducted in what the company calls "a select number" of restaurants in four markets but would not give details.
The Orlando-based group told the Sentinel the changes were "just one of the many things we are evaluating to help us address the cost implications healthcare reform will have on our business," adding, "There are still many unanswered questions regarding the healthcare regulations and we simply don't have enough information to make any decisions at this time."
Under a section of President Barack Obama's Affordable Healthcare Act due to go into effect in 2014, large employers face fines of up to $3,000 per employee if they fail to provide insurance for employees who work an average of 30 or more hours per week.
Darden said it offers health insurance to its 185,000 employees nationwide but many are on a limited-benefit plan which will be phased out under Obamacare.
(Let me translate the above for you, its ALL BS! Obamacare kicks in even more in 2013 so major businesses are preparing now.
This is what is happening now because of "obamacare". People will work LESS hours, lose their group health care insurance or their jobs because businesses will cut hours to under 30 to avoid the obamacare mandate.
Thanks to obama himself people will work and earn less in the future. Obama is destroying the US economy on purpose. The end result will be a collapse of the dollar resulting in martial law. Then obama or whoever is in power will be able to try to confiscate your weapons so the police state will be in total control.

Obama admits he is a lazy liar!!!
.........................................
.........................................
(Too many blacks identify with obama on the basis of their race alone. These african Americans are "chained" to this admitted lazy example of "their" race. These individuals feel hurt or offended when anything or anybody makes a true or false statement about obama.
I don't believe they care if obama admits he is a liar and makes up lies or if he is lazy and admits he is lazy. All they care about is identifying with a "black" president because they are proud of and will support at all costs one who is of their "race".
Even if you quote obama exactly some african Americans will call you a racist and deny that obama said or did something that was confirmed by the "state run media" or the white house spokesman etc.
Most blacks will also say they didn't read or hear something obama said or did if it in any way confirms obama is an empty suit. They will quote what the "state run media" parrots for the obama regime. They don't seem to want to check out ANY facts because they are chained to obama and will only believe what he says.
Obama also says he can't stand cruel people. This is anyone who doesn't agree with him or points out that he is an empty suit deceiver. Cruel people are Americans who he feels are racisits because they are not of his race and therefore are and have been his oppressors.
Deceived african Americans would be better off "chaining" themselves to ronald macdonald than obama. Obama is but a creature of the media and without a teleprompter or speech writer to guide his way he is on display as a baffoon for all the world to see.
There are many smart, honest hard working real black Americans that other black Americans could identity with because of their honesty and integrity.
These who are "chained" to the first "black" president need to break their bonds and identify with a black American who is not a media creation and one who is real.
Clint Eastwood was correct to portray obama as an EMPTY chair!) Story Reports

How To Make Charcoal For Use In A DIY, Emergency Waterfilter
How To Make Charcoal For Use In A DIY, Emergency Water filter
How to Make Charcoal
A hand-drawn picture of a diy-waterfilter, which can be made in the field with commonly available materials (branches, cloth, sand, charcoal and grass). It can be used to filter (slightly contaminated/polluted) water so that it is safe for drinking. Charcoal can be produced from wood by the indirect (preferred method) and the direct method. The direct method is easiest and requires only wood, an open fire and some plant material to allow the wood to burn up incompletely.
The indirect method (which produces far less smoke and is healthier for environment and the person making the coal).
It is fairly easy to make your own charcoal for drawing, BBQ's, homemade water filters etc.
(1) Get a metal can. Obtain a metal can which is empty, clean, dry, and can contain five gallons.
(2) Fill the can with a good amount of small pieces of wood that will fit into the can opening.
(3) Shake the metal can to check to see if more wood needs to be added. Add until the metal can is completely full of small pieces of wood.
(4) Invert the can with the cap removed. Start a campfire over and around the metal can, with the can being upside down *make sure you have the can over the fire. Make sure that there are no flammable materials or items around the metal can.
(5) Turn the can right side up and open it when the campfire has died out and the ashes are cold, preferably the next day.

(This is another post in my survival series. The link to the survival handbook is something every US citizen should read. If current predictions are correct you and I will need all the survival skills we can muster in the near future. I have not read all of this book but I plan to gleen what I can from it and if I need to use the information for myself or help someone in the future. Remember when the dollar collapses you must either depend on yourself for survial or the government..ie obama. Don't count on obama to take care of you.) Story Reports

Obama Voter
Rush Limbaugh Informs Us About obama in ohio
We are All Victims of Obama
OBAMA: I don't believe we can get very far, uh, with leaders who write off half the nation as a bunch of victims who never take responsibility for their own lives.
FOLLOWERS: (smattering of applause)
OBAMA: And I've gotta tell you, as I travel around Ohio and as I look out on this crowd, I don't see a lot of victims. I see hardworkin' Ohioans. That's what I see.
OBAMA: Every campaign y'always hear a lot about patriotism. Well, you know what? It's time for a new economic patriotism -- an economic patriotism rooted in the belief that growing our economy begins with a strong and thriving middle class. And I won't pretend that gettin' there is easy. The truth is it's gonna take a few more years to solve challenges that were building up over decades.
RUSH: Uh-oh!
OBAMA: But I want everybody here to understand our problems can be solved. Our challenges will be met. We got everything it takes to succeed!
RUSH: It's gonna take a few more years, folks. That's the plan. That's the economic agenda put forth by Barack "I Don't See Any Victims Out There" Obama. It's gonna take a few more years to solve the challenges. They won't be solved with Barack Obama. They won't be solved with Obama policies. Obama policies have gotten us where we are.

Barack Obama: Serial Liar
(Rush is right about the democrats and obama. Their real purpose is to destory the US economy and the US dollar. The reason is simple, when this happens everyone will be dependent on the "government". The dictatorship of the socialist "democratic party" will be in control. It will be similar to communist russia. Obama and his fellow conrades are getting ready for a war with the American people. This is why the "government" continues to purchase large stockpiles of ammo and guns. This is why the "government" has turned local law inforcement into urban warefare "police". My best guess is obama will declare martial law to confiscate all the guns and ammo he can with some excuse. There will be resistance of course. More than the manchild obama can imangine.
Obama is not just a sick "man". He wants to destory America as we know it. He wants America to be punished. He wants you and me to bow down to the police state and obey his every wish.
Rush had some interesting things to say about obama on wed Sept 27, 2012 and he told the truth!) Story Reports
