Presidential Sleight of Hand Keeps Reporter Befuddled(great article!)
Beaufort Observer ^ | 07 May 2009 | Elizabeth Sauls

Boss:

I know I had promised the article you assigned this week but I have all but given up on writing it.

You see, I planned to write more about Obama's search for housing for Guantanamo detainees. But, before I could get my computer booted up, Obama changed his mind and decided, rather than simply releasing them as he had said in his campaigning days, he would instead allow military tribunals for them and see how that goes. Ok, so I switched gears and started to write about that. He said one thing when campaigning; he does another when he gets to the White House.

Then Monday morning, Obama dropped another bomb – he proposed a $190 billion tax increase on American companies. You're aware that Coke has bottling facilities everywhere but on the moon and that may yet happen, if we decide to develop a program of some sort there. Anyhoo, Coke has plants all over the world and they are run by citizens of the countries they are in. For instance, the companies operate as local businesses in local communities across Japan. The workers are Japanese, the managers and owners are Japanese. The profits are, mainly, Japanese.

Obama and his cronies want to tax Coke for the money made in the Japanese market. That's 'taxes' as in 'extra taxes' as in 'we-want-more-of-your-profits taxes.' Coca-Cola already pays taxes in Japan for a product made in Japan, delivered to stores in Japan and sold to the people of Japan. Obama wants Coke to pay US taxes on top of the Japanese taxes, which will make the price of Coke more expensive in Japan and they will sell less.

The money line .... pun intended.

Maybe if the President slowed down and actually paid attention to what he's doing, he might not lead this country off a cliff. And, if he did slow down, I might be able to get that story that I promised written and emailed to you. Things are just going too fast for me to keep up, Boss. I barely get one paragraph written and Mr. Speedy has moved on to a new line of attack. I can't keep up. How does Obama expect us to?

Or is that his whole point?

I think it is his whole point. Move fast, order burgers, walk on the lawn with his wife, distraction...distraction, health care, card check, haircut...fire ceo’s, order waffles....etc....I've never been in more fear for my Country...I never thought I would have thought that Clinton was an awesome Pres compared to this socialist, America bashing, corrupt, trying to bankrupt us President.

Okay, I feel better, had to get that out.

Wonerful home page ... I pray we get some good men out of the military and into office soon ... or become neighborhood organizers.

Thanks, I whole completely agree. I've read that there are going to be some vets running for state offices and House of Reps in 2010. Fingers crossed.

Today’s reporters are easy to befuddle.
