Two videos that show the current condition of the US economy. Mitt Romney explaining how Obama has failed America and Obama telling autoworkers how the economy has taken a big hit. Which man would you pick to fix the economy? Which man will propose concrete economic changes while the other will continue wishing the economy will improve while he continues to print more money, ask for tax inceases and apply more regulations on Industry?

I feel much better now. The Federal Reserve in Ricmond has so much time on it’s hands that now that the national’s economy is in full swing it can spend “special” time flying the Homosexual flag from its building. My heart swells with pride as our country makes sure there is inclusion for everyone. Hey Richmond, let’s not forget to honor and include everyone-fly Anthony Weiner’s briefs under your rainbow flag. SHAW
Del. Robert G. Marshall, R-Prince Williamis asking the Richmond Federal Reserve Bank to remove the rainbowflag flying below the American flag outside of the building, calling itspresence “a serious deficiency of judgment by your organization, one notlimited to social issues.”
In a letter to Richmond Fed President Jeffrey M. Lacker, Marshall says the homosexual behavior
“celebrated” by the bank “undermines the American economy” and is a class sixfelony in Virginia.
“The Richmond Fed’s endorsement of costly,anti-social, immoral behavior is rejected by 6,000 years of Western Religious and moral teaching,” writes Marshall, who is among the GeneralAssembly’s most conservative members and has long been outspoken on gay-rights issues. “You want the American people to trust your [judgment] in economic matters when your spokesperson celebrates an attack onpublic morals?”
Sally Green, the bank’s first vice president andchief operating officer, said earlier this week, “We are flying the pride flag as an example of our commitment to the values of acceptance and inclusion.”
The flag is being flown at the request of PRISM, a Richmond Fed group representing gay, lesbian,bisexual and transgender employees and allies.
Its presence also prompted mention from Victoria Cobb, president of The Family Foundation in an email release on
Wednesday.
“Although the Federal Reserve is a private entity, it isdisappointing to see it participate in this celebration,” she said. “At The Family Foundation, we will simply choose to use this flag, like the view of Mr. Jefferson’s capitol, as motivation for the work that lies ahead.”

By Pete Griffin….A California bill working its way through the state legislature providing more protection for transgender individuals in the workplace could allow for cross-dressing employees to wear whatever they want to work, despite workplace dress codes.
AB 887, which passed through the state’s Assembly on May 16, is causing a stir among critics who feel it’s raising the identity of a transgender individual to the same level as one’s ethnicity or gender.
“If you talk to the average (human resources) manager and ask if there would be any disturbances if a man came dressed as a woman one week and then as a man the next, I think the (HR) rep would say ‘yeah, this would be disruptive to the workplace,’ ” said Brad Daucus, a California attorney and president of the Pacific Justice Institute. “It will inherently cause customers to be uncomfortable and not want to do business.”
Sponsored by Assemblywoman Toni Atkins (D-San Diego) and co-authored by Equality California and the Transgender Law Center, the bill would strengthen civil rights protections in the areas of employment and housing for individuals based not only on the gender of the person’s assigned sex at birth, but also by a person’s “gender expression.”
Atkins, Equality California and the Transgender Law Center did not return FoxNews.com’s requests for comment.But in a press release from May 17, Atkins said she was “grateful” for the support the bill received from her Assembly colleagues and will “continue fighting for this important legislation to become a law.”
Critics like Daucus feel the law would limit the authority of employers who disagree with an employee’s cross-dressing attire.
“This is not dealing with harassment, we already have laws in California that address harassment,” said Daucus. “This is about employers having to deal with employees who dress in a way that employers know will cost them either in terms of customers, employer morale, or employee operational efficiency.”
Daucus is not limiting its effect to just the sales industry. He believes businesses, such as child day care centers and retail clothing stores, would be affected by cross-dressing employees who might have the upper hand when it comes to legal disputes with employers regarding their clothing choices.
“If you have a mother taking her son to a store for back-to-school shopping and the retail clerk is a man dressed like a woman, the mother is going to take her son and go to another store,” said Daucus.
May, an assistant director for a Christian-run daycare center in Calif., who did not want to give her last name or the name of her day care, agrees that the law could have an impact.
“Even if we change our hair, the kids notice right away. If one day a teacher comes dressed like a man and then the next day as a woman, the kids will wonder ‘What’s going on?'”
Shawn Jackson — a California-based attorney and consultant for the California Business Development Center — a business development association in Rohnert Park, Calif. — says the law could bring some changes in the workplace, but doesn’t think a business will necessarily lose clients because an employee decides to cross-dress. But he also understands that everyone doesn’t necessarily share this viewpoint.
“People are flawed creatures and will have their biases and prejudices,” said Jackson. “You have to weigh the advantages and disadvantages. There’s going to be people who say ‘you hire a transgender, I’m not coming in.’ You can be legally right, you can be spiritually right. But from a business standpoint, you just shot yourself in the foot.”
The bill still needs approval from the state’s Senate.
Daucus hopes California legislators take into account all sides of the issue.
“Whatever law is passed, it shouldn’t just look upon the introspect of one specific micro-interest group,” said Daucus. “The legislators need to make sure that all of those who are impacted by the legislation are taken into consideration.”
Obama favorite Van Jones speaks about patriotism. Yes, Jones and people of his ilk have their own brand of patriotism. They seriously consider themselves patriots. Jones finds time to bring up Paul Ryan and claims Ryan is worse than Al Qaeda.
Sometimes you forget that people like Jones are still out there making speeches, having events, stirring up their base just like NORMAL people. The media hides these meetings and activities. Jones and his kind are just under the radar. SHAW

Democrats are distorting the fundamentals of a Republican plan to reshape
Medicare, falsely accusing the GOP of pushing a proposal that tells the elderly
“you’re on your own” with health care and that lets insurers deny coverage to
the sick.
Medicare always pushes hot buttons with voters. Both parties know this and
spare no effort to exploit the issue, with truth as the frequent casualty.
That’s the case now as Democrats go after a far-reaching plan introduced by Rep.
Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and largely embraced by congressional Republicans.
The new chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, Rep. Debbie
Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., led the charge this week in an appearance on CBS’
“Face the Nation.” The DNC and its Republican counterpart are the primary
money-raisers in politics and often temples of exaggeration as they convert
controversy into cash for the campaigns.
A look at Wasserman Schultz’s statements and how they compare with the
facts:
___
WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: “They would take the people who are younger than 55 years
old today and tell them: ‘You know what, you’re on your own. Go and find private
health insurance in the health care insurance market; we’re going to throw you
to the wolves and allow insurance companies to deny you coverage and drop you
for pre-existing conditions. We’re going to give you X amount of dollars, and
you figure it out.'”
THE FACTS: First, the Ryan plan explicitly forbids insurance companies from
denying coverage to anyone who qualifies for Medicare, including those who have
pre-existing illnesses. Second, it does not merely send money to the elderly and
leave them to their own devices in arranging for medical care.
The plan calls for Medicare to stay the same for people 55 and older. But
starting in 2022, new beneficiaries would get their health insurance from
competing private insurers instead of from the government. The government would
offer subsidies to pay for the coverage and set standards that insurers must
follow. One condition, says the plan, is that participating insurers “agree to
offer insurance to all Medicare beneficiaries, to avoid cherry-picking and
ensure that Medicare’s sickest and highest-cost beneficiaries receive
coverage.”
Nor would the government merely send “X amount of dollars” to the elderly and
let them figure out whether they can afford coverage. The subsidies would go to
the plan selected by the beneficiary. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget
Office, in analyzing the plan, said it would not let insurers charge more to
sick people. Premiums would be the same for everyone of the same age.
The Ryan plan raises plenty of questions about costs to the elderly over time
and the adequacy of care. The Congressional Budget Office said future retirees
would pay more under Ryan’s plan than if they went into traditional Medicare. By
2030, a typical 65-year-old would be paying two-thirds of his or her health
costs.
But Wasserman Schultz and some other Democrats who accuse the GOP of wanting
to “end Medicare” have skipped past the complicated crux of that debate, instead
attacking provisions that do not exist.

As I watched this TSA terror video I saw a woman screaming she had been molested TSA style. The woman, very distraught yelled for POLICE who did not show up. This was no act or stagged event. This scene was being caught on video by a bystander waiting for his parents to get off a plane.
The citizen with the Video camera was told he had to LEAVE, HE COUDN’T tape, it was a special area. The video man claimed he was in a public area and was free to continue with his video. TSA argues with this man and then tries to find police to have him arrested.Near the end you will see again the woman who claimed she was molested and she is still in full battle with the TSA. The first thing our new president should do is immediately dissolve the TSA. SHAW

ARTICLE: Job Data May Be Key to the President’s Job
BY BINYAMIN APPELBAUM…. No American president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt has won a second term in office when the unemployment rate on Election Day topped 7.2 percent.Seventeen months before the next election, it is increasingly clear that President Obamamust defy that trend to keep his job.
Seventeen months before the next election, it is increasingly clear that President Obamamust defy that trend to keep his job.
Roughly 9 percent of Americans who want to go to work cannot find an employer. Companies are firing fewer people, but hiring remains anemic. And the vast majority of economic forecasters, including the president’s own advisers, predict only modest progress by November 2012.
The latest job numbers, due Friday, are expected to provide new cause for concern. Other indicators suggest the pace of growth is flagging. Weak manufacturing data, a gloomy reading on jobs in advance of Friday’s report and a drop in auto sales led the markets to their worst close since August, and those declines carried over into Asia Thursday.
But the grim reality of widespread unemployment is drawing little response from Washington. The Federal Reserve says it is all but tapped out. There is even less reason to expect Congressional action. Both Democrats and Republicans see clear steps to create jobs, but they are trying to walk in opposite directions and are making little progress.
“The discussion really focused on the philosophical difference on whether Washington should continue to pump money into the economy or should we provide an incentive for entrepreneurs and small businesses to grow,” said Eric Cantor, the majority leader. “The president talked about a need for us to continue to quote-unquote invest from Washington’s standpoint, and for a lot of us that’s code for more Washington spending, something that we can’t afford right now.”
The White House, its possibilities constrained by the gridlock, has offered no new grand plans. After agreeing to extend the Bush-era tax cuts and reducing the payroll tax last December, the administration has focused on smaller ideas, like streamlining corporate taxation and increasing American exports to Asia and Latin America.
“It’s a very tough predicament,” said Jared Bernstein, who until April was economic policy adviser to Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. “Is there any political appetite for something that would resemble another large Keynesian stimulus? Obviously no. You can say that’s what we should do and you’d probably be right, but that’s pretty academic.”
