PART 3 TO FOLLOW

[NoJingoLingo]

PART 3

The intent of this type of questioning is all too clear, and they are still tired of waiting! These are the types of references that are arising publicly, and being made daily on Main Street America

If Faux News is your only source of viewing mainstreet America.

I have reflected, and continue to represent this venue, refusing to shrink away from my personally selected obligation to bring these issues contained therein to light --- before a very public audience.

This venue? I guess you pasted this nonesence from your blog or something?

Closing Statement:

Closing statement... what a farse.

I hope you NoJingoLingo and everyone else reading this will at least try to respect my chosen task at hand.

How can anyone respect consistent hyperbole, outright lies, misdirection, obfuscation, repetition, and willful ignorance as well as a conscious effort to misinform and scare the public?

No matter what is said in this debate, the future will shed the light of absolute truth on this discussion.

I hope I've shed truth on this discussion already because it was sorely needed.

I have witnessed the Obama euphoria rapidly declining, and an angry public starting to voice itself in disgruntled contempt of its elected leadership. I have, and I am reporting this to the best of my capabilities. I sincerely hope that the Obama/Biden administration will get back on track in the eyes of the American people. IT IS OUR ONLY HOPE AT THIS TIME!!!

I hope we have all witnessed enough of your nonsense.

[Robert Marsh II]

Based upon everything you have previously stated, that you obviously contend to be accepted as true, then how do you account for President Barack Obama's job approval rating sliding downward to 49%?

In reviewing your link evidence, one would expect the president to have a near constant 75-85% job approval rating at the very least.

Is this some type of Acorn-like numbers fluke again, and this time having a reverse/adverse effect in the ratings-graph or what?

Obama: Job Ratings

Obama's Approval Slide Finds Whites Down to 39%

Therefore, I conclude the Obameter (Truth-O-Meter) from the St. Petersburg Times (Politifact) to be a biased pro-Obama affiliated organization, and is laying their thumb purposely upon the scales of truth in this case.

PolitiFact | The Obameter: Obama's Campaign Promises that are Promise Kept

They are even possibly interconnected to Obama's affiliated group 'Organizing for America' and joined at the hip and under- the-table.

Can you prove the preceeding supposition to be false, of course from within your vast link-evidence repertoire.

*(Note: This seems to be an overated con-job with overtones of the proverbial shell-game in progress).

Organizing for America | BarackObama.com

Organizing for America | BarackObama.com | Contribute

At the very least, their findings are completely flawed and certainly dubious.

If all these 'promises kept' findings are true and publicly known, then the presidential job approval rating, as I have previously stated, should be much higher than the reflected current national polls at 49%.

The formerly silent majority is making comments on articles and leaving url links in my personal messaging inbox, so I am posting here for all to see.

The pro-Obama camp will venomously strike down everything on this debate as being false tripe, in order to satisfy their need ---

And so likewise, the opposing anti-Obama camp readers will deny what the pro-Obama camp presents here as evidence, as also being false.

However, both sides are being clearly stated and recorded for public review, and a choice has to be made.

Although it is very natural for any president to experience a decline in voter pre-election euphoria, after any Republican or Democrat campaign election, and with this being excluded ---

President Barack Obama is receiving a more hostile turn-around than most, coming from the average man and woman in the American streets, and from various sectors of the press.

I have presented the links contained within Post #107, because these are the type of websites that many Americans are reading and taking action upon!

Because the news (especially Faux News) doesn't report anything that Obama has done unless they can spin it into something bad.

I guess you don't have the links to all those blogs where you ranted about the Cheney admin, eh? I really would like to read them. Surely you have 8 years worth of the same kind of posts you make here... *whistles* I wonder why?

[Trojan_Ripper]

Quote by: NoJingoLingo Because the news doesn't report anything that Obama has done unless they can spin it into something bad.

Since you don't like news sources and the bad spin they put on Obama, "and you seem to always spin your own" would you tell us:

Just what Obama has accomplished or Good he has done for this Country while in office?

I would 'not' be posting negative Obama news if President Barack Obama was achieving his 'expected' greatness.

I am still waiting for a descent THIRD PARTY option --- I'm getting older, so I would settle for at least a good candidate for president ---

Someone who could actually turn away the Lobbyists, Special Interest Groups and Foreign Nations that we owe our sock money to!!!

2012 ???

Washington D.C. will not 'change' 'business as usual' attitudes, until large sectors of the American population unify against the Lobbyists, Special Interest Groups. . . etc. . .

By petitioning against the central problem . . .

Eventually our lives will get destitute enough to apply this proper pressure upon the door-steps and hallways of Washington D.C. . . .

Within the ordinances of the law, and in an orderly organized fashion.

Write your congressman or congresswoman, make phone calls, petition, protest & march on the streets of our nation's capitol!!!

Whether we choose to participate in saving the United States Government from total dissolution or not, or whether you wish to believe it or not. ..

We are approaching some possible 'Hard Times', which could under present corruptive government conditions cause a modern-day Civil War to instantly ignite!!!

So, whether we participate or not, these ramifications of our actions or inactions will surely arrive at our front-door soon enough.

In one form or another.

We need to become the temporary leadership in this country until our currently still existing government can be rescued!!!

After winning the aforementioned battle, we then need to demand an exceptional candidate who has no background in corruption.

*(Note: Not Obama who is a Chicago politician with questionable personal contacts and unknown prearrangements)!

Man or Woman. . . .

Black or White or Red . . .etc. . .

The Truth About ObamaCare

[Charlatan]

Or he could change his policies, which would be change worth believing in. If he were to use my tactics in Afghanistan the war would be over in weeks. If he were to sell gold and land the recession would be over. With all that money he could use the capital to fund his health care plan, and all other things. If you aren't buying gold you are selling gold, and either way you double your money. As long as somebody has gold to base thier currency on then there is no problem, and selling all the gold is better than keeping some of it because then there is something inside the country holding it back. Basing it on the piles of another country in another currency still means that people are buying dollars or what not and then there is trade which bases the currencies worth nicely.

I think we should call this the 'trade standard', where your currency is based on the gold in the other counries reserves. When you sell gold it is basic to see that you will double your money, as your money is based on gold reserves basically, which brings the money in the reserve to a positive number, a ludicrous number of currency. Then for the country that buys the gold, it spends money to make money, basically it spends x to buy x, but then can print money to the value of the gold they bought, also doubling their working capital, doubling the money in the country.

[Robert Marsh II]

Response to Charlatan;

If Obama fumbles the U.S. economy, then we will get first-hand experience in this discussion! ----

Various gold transactions were outlawed by FDR during the Great Depression, which made those who had huge stockpiles of wealth become paupers (penniless) overnight!

FDR was forced to 'regulate' the gold transactions, in order to stabilize the new script currency (actually worthless), until the new permanent currency could be brought forward to the American public.
