President Obama Announces Debt Plan Built on Taxing Rich - "This is not class warfare -- it's math" he says

Monday, September 19, 2011

.

* ABC News brings us the following AP report and it starts off like this… In a blunt rejoinder to congressional Republicans, President Barack Obama called for $1.5 trillion in new taxes Monday, part of a total 10-year deficit reduction package totaling more than $3 trillion. [Well who the heck didn’t know this one was coming -- AGAIN… And will never, EVER pass the Senate.] He vowed to veto any deficit reduction package that cuts benefits to Medicare recipients but does not raise taxes on the wealthy and big corporations… "We can't just cut our way out of this hole," the president said… The president's proposal would predominantly hit upper income taxpayers but would also reduce spending in mandatory benefit programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, by $580 billion. It also counts savings of $1 trillion over 10 years from the withdrawal of troops from Iraq and Afghanistan…

* CBS News reports it this way… Taking a defiant tone against Republicans unwilling to raise taxes in order to close the deficit, President Obama today unveiled a $3 trillion long-term deficit reduction plan that relies heavily on raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans… "This is not class warfare -- it's math," Mr. Obama said from the White House Rose Garden…

Special Report: Twin WINS for Republicans in New York-Nevada

Special Report:

Twin WINS for Republicans in New York-Nevada

Wednesday, September 14, 2011

.

* TheGuardian brings us the following good news, (that is if you’re of the Republican persuasion,) and their report goes in part like this… The Anthony Weiner scandal dealt another blow to the Democratic Party on Tuesday when the Republicans stormed to victory in a special election for his former congressional seat in New York City… Bob Turner became the first Republican to win New York's ninth congressional district since 1920, capitalising on voter discontent with the grim state of the economy and the lagging popularity of the Obama administration… With three registered Democrats to every Republican in the district, Turner's victory was remarkable…

* Our friends at Politico have this great read posted-up on their website early this Wednesday morning and it starts off like this… The Democratic Party’s rare loss of a congressional seat in its urban heartland Tuesday, accompanied by a blowout defeat in a Nevada special election, marked the latest in a string of demoralizing setbacks that threatened to deepen the party’s crisis of confidence and raise concerns about President Barack Obama’s political fortunes…

9/11 How Soon We Forget

.Note: I have taken my video back down now off of YouTube... but it will be back up again this time next year for 9-11-12... For now though, I still have the Paul Simon video still up. Scroll down some in this post to view... Thanks for stopping by.........

9/11 How Soon We Forget

.

    Please read this first before watching…

.

    I made the above video/slide back in 2004 on the events of 9/11 the day… and as time slowly passed, up to one year later.

.

    I would first like to tell you how this video came to be…

.

    I was running down some music to use on my family website that I use to have up… and at the time was looking in a place I used from time to time that had GREAT midi files that a very talented man name Dan West wrote and composed.

.

    That’s when I ran across his latest work that he had written and composed himself in memory of the victims of 9-11. His song was titled “Heartbreak Blues” and Dan had put it up on his website for all to listen too.

.

    Anyway… to make a long story short… Dan’s music inspired me so… that I wrote him and asked his permission to use his music in a video/slide project I was wanting to work on and he was kind enough to say OK. And that I still thank him for.

..

    Ok then… About the video. The very first part is put together pretty much in a perfect timeline as the events unfolded that tragic day on 9/11/2001. Then I go back and forth in time with the rest.

.

    The 2^nd part, “Goodbyes”, after the credit roll, starts off at the footprints of the Twin Towers, one year later. It was early that morning on 9-11-2002 and the family members of the ones that lost their lives along with others came to say goodbye one more time.

.

    The morning went from a calm clear morning at first then to being very windy and a dust storm whipped up. Some of the family members who were there said it was as if their loved ones had come down from heaven to say their last goodbyes too. Many said a chill was in the air and that a strange calm came over them.

.

    After the first few pictures I move back and forth in time from days after 9-11-2001, as people from around the world mourned the dead and this tragedy to one year later, back at the footprints of the towers.

.

    Why did I make this video some might ask? Well… I mainly made this video for my family and friends to watch once a year... and being you are reading this right now… you MUST be one or the other!!!

.

    So again… this video/slide that I made is actually a 2-parter. The 1st part I call “9/11… How Soon We Forget”. Then after the credit roll is the 2nd part that I call “Goodbyes”. So be sure to watch it to the end.

.

    Now for the record… I could have gone very graphic with this and almost did at first… but in the end I keep away from doing so for I wanted it to be able to be seen by both adults and children alike. Regardless, I still made it strong enough to get the point across as to just how violent and emotional of an event this really was.

.

9/11, how soon we forget

No other words needed

In memory of all those that lost their lives that tragic day...

Be sure to come by my Blog, AubreyJ.org on Sept 11^th, anytime past midnight and view my just under 10 minutes long video, 9/11 How Soon We Forget… I made it originally back in 2004 on the events of 9/11 the day… and as time slowly passed by, up to one year later… I spent over a month putting it all together and getting the bugs out of it. Why did I make it some have asked… Well… I mainly made it to view myself and too show to my family and close friends once a year on 9/11. Now being you are reading this right now... you must be one or the other, family or friend!

.

Hurricane Katrina - Six Years Later

Hurricane Katrina - Six Years Later

Just over a week ago on August 29th marked the 6 year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina coming ashore on the southern tip of Louisiana. Really surprised me on just how little to none the news people reported this. I guess we will have to wait another 4 years when again it will be big news on its 10^th anniversary. Anyway… for now, here’s my video/slide I put together a few years back in memory of those that lost their lives during those tragic days. I call this one… Hurricane Katrina - Part Three - Reflections
