Based on the current historical trend, we still have a long way to go before reaching bottom. It is expected that the bottom will be between 4,000 and 6,000 on the Dow Jones Industrial Average before we start seeing growth in the stock market again. Not a great place to put your money given that the stock market averages a return of only 1.5% per year when adjusted for inflation!

A seven-page, 63 question application prepared by Obama’s transition team is going to extraordinary lengths to protect the incoming Obama administration from potential scandal in its job hires. Obama appears to have set a new standard for intrusiveness as recruiters try to establish a financial, personal and professional paper trail for job applicants, their spouses, and their grown children.

Applicants are asked to list any legal offense, including traffic violations punished by more than a $50 fine. They are asked to list any gift worth over $50 they or their spouse have received from anyone who is not a relative or close friend. They must reveal whether they or anybody in their family owns a gun (hmmm, is owning a gun through a Constitional right deemed unworthy for a job?). A good portion of the questionnaire is devoted to seeking financial information - down to the rate of interest the applicant is paying on their mortgage.

The rationale behind the extraordinarily detailed questionnaire is fairly transparent: Obama is determined to avoid giving any ammunition to his enemies.   “Briefly describe the most controversial matters you have been involved with during the course of your career,” the questionnaire asks.  It also asks the applicant whether he or she has any enemies that “might take steps, overtly or covertly, fairly or unfairly, to criticize your nomination”.

Let’s see: applicants are being asked whether they have ever associated with anyone who might “impugn or attack your character…for government service?”

Obama, of course, was associated, no matter how little, with William Ayres, the radical who in the 60s had this rather keen interest in bombs and revolution. Then, there is the very wrong Rev. Wright. Associating with the likes of him proved a nearly lethal friendship to the Obama candidacy.

Other questions ask whether there was anything in the person’s legal past that might embarrass the new President?   You know, smoking weed, or maybe a little coke, or that sort of thing.  Oh, yes, nearly forgot, didn’t Obama admit to both of those things when he was a younger man?

What about the question as to whether the applicant for a job in the Obama administration has any enemies? Well, for Obama, how about John McCain, Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, and over 58 million Americans who voted against him.

Sorry to tell you this, Barack Hussein Obama, but you have too much baggage and do NOT qualify to get a job in the White House based on your own standards! What a hypocrite!

The following table is provided by data from the Tax Foundation website:

As you might as well guessed, with the likely chance that Barack Hussein Obama will ban and outlaw guns, there is a huge demand to get these automatic rifles before they become banned permanently. The last ban passed in 1994 was for 10 years with a provision that it would expire unless Congress renewed it. The AR-15 rifles doubled and even trippled in price after the ban went into effect.

Since after the ban goes into effect, the gun manufacturers will not be able to make any more of them, and with an increase in demand, this only yields extremely high prices. If you are able to find an arms dealer that even has any available, you can expect to pay between $2,000 to $3,000 for just the basic model. I had talked to a dealer the other day, and he just had a customer that paid $17,000 for a fully automatic M16.

The AR-15 rifles are very versatile and can be adapted to add on a number of various accessories: lights, lasers, sights, grips, silencers, et cetera. This is what makes them so popular. You can take a basic model and easily customize it to fit your needs or preferences.

While you may or may not be considering an investment into an AR-15 rifle, you will certainly want to invest in items with which you can use to barter or trade even if you do not personally use them. Such items as food, ammo, cigarettes, et cetera. As our economy comes to a grinding halt, and as the Federal Reserve erodes the value of our fiat currency, bartering is what will keep you going.

WASHINGTON - A Republican congressman from Georgia is calling President-elect Obama a Marxist and warning that he might be planning to form a Gestapo-like security force so he can rule as a dictator.

“It may sound a bit crazy and off base, but the thing is, he’s the one who proposed this national security force,” Rep. Paul Broun said of Obama in an interview Monday with The Associated Press. “I’m just trying to bring attention to the fact that we may - may not, I hope not - but we may have a problem with that type of philosophy of radical socialism or Marxism.”

Two-term Rep. Paul Broun of Athens cited a July speech that has circulated on the Internet in which Obama called for a civilian force to take some of the national security burden off the military.

“That’s exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it’s exactly what the Soviet Union did,” Broun said. “When he’s proposing to have a national security force that’s answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he’s showing me signs of being Marxist.”

I’m happy to know that at least one person in Congress is standing up against illegitimate Obama who is usurping power by methods of voter fraud through ACORN and credit card fraud via online campain donations. However, I’m disappointed that it has taken four months for people to start waking up to this realism.

Obama’s comments about a national security force came during a speech in July in Colorado in which he called for expanding the nation’s foreign service.

“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”

Why in the world would he want to do that unless he was planning to create a police state? We have a military. He have the FBI, ATF, Secret Service, 50 State Police departments, local police and sheriffs depts and the National Guard…why a NEW security force?

Add to this the fact that his transition team co-chair Valerie Jarrett is on the record as having said that Obama will be “ready to take power and RULE” come Jan. 20; not serve, or lead, or govern, but RULE. This is the word she used.

Rep. Paul Broun said “That’s exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it’s exactly what the Soviet Union did,” Broun said. “When he’s proposing to have a national security force that’s answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he’s showing me signs of being Marxist.”

He’s creating a national security force because the Posse Comatitus Act of 1878 prohibits the military form acting in civil affairs. This isn’t lunacy, it is entirely possible. Most 20th-century fascist and Marxist dictatorships were brought into power by an ill-informed and hero-worshiping youth vote. The campaign was a classic Marxist campaign: his face on large banners in various shadings, references to “change” and “hope”, constant appeals to the youth.

Now that Barack Obama has so many worshipers, how many will go out of their way to justify his new security force and seek to be a part of it? How many that railed against Bush supposedly seeking to re-institute the draft will fall right in line behind their new leader’s proposals? Many of our youth have been in training to be informants for a long while now, even in the public schools. Get ready for “CHANGE.”

President-elect Barack Obama has launched the website change.gov, where one can find news about the transition and inauguration and information about his agenda. The site also has a place for people to share their ideas for government and their stories about the campaign. This might sound fine and dandy, but it change.gov was illegally registered!

Blue State Digital (BSD) is a leader in online fundraising, advocacy, social networking, and constituency development programs for nonprofit organizations, political candidates and causes, and corporations. Since our founding in 2004, we’ve delivered successfully on the promise of the Internet to over 200 satisfied clients, including Obama for America, Wal-Mart Watch, the Alliance for Climate Protection, and the Communications Workers of America, raising over $200 million in contributions to date and generating tens of millions of online signups and actions.

First, the General Services Administration (GSA) issues .gov domains (http://www.dotgov.gov). On their website, they list specific eligibility requirements which change.gov does NOT meet:

Eligibility for .gov
To preserve the integrity of the .gov name space, .gov domains are limited to United States government organizations at the federal, Native Sovereign Nation, state, and local level, and U.S. territories.

Registrations that qualify for a .gov domain

U.S. Governmental departments, programs, and agencies on the federal level
Federally recognized Indian Tribes (-NSN.gov domain)
State governmental entities/programs
Cities and townships represented by an elected body of officials
Counties and parishes represented by an elected body of officials
U.S. territories

Second, the change.gov domain was registered on 2007-11-21, nearly a year ago. Not after he was elected, not even after he won the Democrat Primary. He was just a Senator at the time, and that does not qualify for a .gov domain, especially since he was campaigning for President of the United States. The GSA specificially states:

No Political or Campaign Information: The Gov domain is for the operation of government, not the political, political party, or campaign environment. No campaigning can be done using Gov Internet domains. The Gov Internet domain websites may not be directly linked to or refer to websites created or operated by a campaign or any campaign entity or committee. No political sites or party names or acronyms can be used. Separate webites and e-mail on other top-level domains (TLDs), such as .org, will have to be used for political activity.

Third, the change.gov website has the following footer: “Content copyright © 2008 by Obama-Biden Transition Project, a 501c(4) organization. All rights reserved.” Well, guess what… a 501c(4) organization, is a tax-exempt non-profit organization that can engage in lobbying or political campaigning. So, based on information on his website, he is in direct violation of GSA rules governing .gov domains, since non-profit organizations are NOT eligible for .gov domains.

Fourth, his website (and press conference) use the term Office of the President-Elect. THERE IS NO SUCH GOVERNMENT OFFICE! Exactly where in the Constitution is this “Office” defined? What are its delineated powers and responsibilities? Not only that, but the candidate known as Barack Hussein Obama II is NOT the President-elect yet. There will not be a President-elect until the electoral college meets, votes, and that vote is certified by the United States Senate. So he is only the “presumptive president-elect.” Not only that, but the seal on the sign on the podium is in violation of current United States law. And it is against the law to make up a seal of the likeness of the official seal and try to use it to convey government authority (Title 18 Part I Chapter 33 Section 713).

Despite a sluggish economy and shoppers that are cutting back on almost everything, sales of handguns, rifles and ammunition have surged in the last week, according to gun store owners around the nation who describe a wave of buyers concerned that an Obama administration will curtail their right to bear arms. Buyers across the country are snapping up firearms at a record pace.

At Cheaper Than Dirt alone, more than $100,000 in guns and ammunition have been sold every day since Election Day. Buyers are stocking up before President-elect Barack Obama takes office. Business is so good that gun dealers are furiously calling suppliers to find more guns. In fact, many stores are sold out of assualt weapons such as an AK-47.

Over the past two days, sales have jumped roughly 60 percent, primarily for high-capacity firearms. Most gun shops have had record one-day sales this week. Customers have signed up for waiting lists as demand exceeded manufacturers’ supplies. Gun enthusiasts nationwide are stocking up on firearms out of fears that the combination of an Obama administration and a Democrat-dominated Congress will result in tough new gun laws.

As a U.S. senator, Obama voted to leave gun-makers and dealers open to lawsuits; and as an Illinois state legislator, he supported a ban on semiautomatic weapons and tighter restrictions on all firearms. Gun advocates take some solace in the Supreme Court, which ruled 5-4 this summer to strike down the District of Columbia’s 32-year handgun restriction. While gun-rights supporters hold a narrow edge on the court, Obama could appoint justices who would swing it the other way.

Many people are buying guns, ammo, and weapons as an investment, as these will be a banned necessity in coming years.

So, if you didn’t earn any money this year, Obama will give you some. If you spent years of not eating healthy and exercising on a regular basis and need healthcare, Obama will pay for it. If you were stupid and borrowed more money than you could afford to pay, Obama will help you pay for your house. In fact, Obama will pay for everything you need.

On the flip side, if you make more than $50,000 per year, you will be paying for all the free stuff that Obama will give to the stupid people that voted for Obama in order to get a free lunch, and you will probably lose your job soon. Promises will be broken!

Wall Street now knows that the new socialist President Obama will not be able to live up to all of his promises, and worst that he will probably end up destroying the US Economy with his wealth distrubition program. Things will only get worst, and the stock market will have a massive sell off.

Expectations: higher unemployment, lower wages, more foreclosures, more bank failures, economy in a recession if not a depression.
