I've got some new facts that I'd like to share with you. These facts do not come from the media. These facts do not come from surveys or polls. These facts do not even come from the CBO.
These facts originate from the President of the United States of America, B.H. Obama. These facts were submitted in the form of a budget proposal that was shot down by the Democrat controlled Senate. The score: 0-97.
Our President has proposed in his budge to the Senate the following:
1. Increase Income tax rate from 35% to 39.6%
2. Increase Payroll income tax from 37.4% to 52.2%
3. Increase capital gains taxes from 15% to 28%
4. Increase Dividends taxes from 15% to 39.6%
5. Increase Estate tax from 0% to 55%.
Is it any wonder that we're now getting Democrat leaders leaning away from our President? Who wants to claim any ownership to these proposals, and try to get reelected?
Also, for your information Senate leader, Harry Reid has yet to submit a budget to Congress and the CBO in nearly the entire four years of Obama's Presidency. I bet ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS, & MSNBC has yet to report that to you.
I'm sure there are some, although I can't see how, that will dispute these facts. But honest folks I didn't make up these figures. They are straight from the head tax man himself.
Please stay tuned to my blogs folks. I've got more facts for you tomorrow. Gotta go to Mass now, and pray for the soul of our President.
And that's Politics with Pete for today.

Just the facts maam
Any out there who reads my blogs know that I lean to the right. While I try to research facts, there are some issues that are my own personal views.
I have endured some personal attacks by left-leaning liberals that take my views out of context.
Most retorts from my Democrat critics have been unfounded. Of course I will not call them lies.
So, today I wanted to publish a blog supported solely by facts. Some of the facts are from polls and educated surveys, however most of the facts are derived from the Congressional Budget Office. I think even my Democrat friends will believe the CBO. I mean, after all many of these facts come from Peter Orsag, one of Clinton's and Obama's strong supporters.
Let's get "W" out of the way immediately. The current administration began blaming Bush on January 22, 2009, when Obama was sworn in as our President. So before we go any further on the Bush blame let's look at pure facts.
On January 3, 2007 the House and the Senate became Democrat-controlled. Nancy Pelosi was Speaker of the House, and Hairless Reid was the Senate majority leader.
On January 3, 2007 the DOW closed at 12,621.77. GDP was 3.5, and unemployment was 4.6%
On that day Barney Frank & Chris took over the Financial Services Committe and the Senate Banking Committee.
These two members of Congress, trying to establish housing for all, managed to dump $6 Trillion Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
"W" was still the President and CBO facts bear out that he attempted seventeen times to stop this Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac process. He was shot down all seventeen times by a Democrat-controlled House & Senate. But because he was still the President, he was loaded up by Democrats and the media as the main blame for all this.
By the way there was a Democrat Senator from Illinois named Obama that voted to keep the Dodd-Frank fiasco in place. And it got worse because banks and lending institutions were threatened that they must approve loans that should never have been approved.
Well, we all know what happened within the following fifteen months. The housing bubble burst, thousands of homes became "under water", and were foreclosed upon. Hundreds of thousands of jobs were lost, and unemployment rose to 9%.
So, when President Obama claims he "inherited" an economic mess from Bush, maybe he should be honest with the American people, and come forth and say that he, along with the Democrat-controlled House and Senate are the major part of that inheritance for Americans.
Please save this blog. Starting tomorrow I will write more blogs that are related to the facts, just plain facts that has caused our great country to be in the shape we're in today. Just remember these pure facts every time you hear, "it's Bush's fault".
And that's Politics with Pete for today

Thank you Justice Roberts
On behalf of all conservative Republicans from Rush Limbaugh to the your humble blogger, me, I want to extend a gigantic debt of gratitude to Chief Justice Roberts.
By declaring Obamacare's mandate a TAX, yes a TAX the Chief Justice has fulfilled all the wishes of the RNC, and just about handed Governor Romney the keys to our White House.
Remember when this President went on the CBS and ABC television shows and declared the mandate of his Obamacare was not a tax, and Americans would actually see a decrease in their taxes when Obamacare is made into law?
Remember when Senator Obama in '07 and '08 campaigned that no one, I mean no one making under $200,000. would see a dime increase in their taxes?
Well, Justice Roberts was informed that it was really not a mandate, but a tax, so with that Roberts had no choice but to vote in favor of Congress's right to impose a tax on Americans. That's in the Constitution.
So now, all, yes ALL middle class Americans will experience the burden of a tax increase in these dire economic times. Do you think that maybe the President was positioning for his reelection rather than about the economic status of this country?
Now, the President has his Obamacare legacy to campaign on. He certainly can't run on anything else. Ironically, several Republican Congressmen, Congresswomen, and Senators uttered, that by falsifying the mandate into a tax, "Obama and his administration has awakened the sleeping giant similar to the 2010 mid-term election".
And now all the Democratic Congress will have to go back and listen to their constituents, and try to sell a middle class tax increase. How do you think that's going to fly?
Another piece of irony is that within a few short hours after American hearing that the mandate is a tax, and was passed through the Supreme Court, Governor Romney raised $1.5 million for his election campaign.
This is just one in a long, long, line of untruths told to the American people by this President.
I won't call the President a liar........but is it OK to say I agree with Congressman Joe Wilson from Florida?

I promise..... nothing!
I know more people than me remember in 2007 and 2008 when Senator Obama was campaigning for President of the country when he made a startling promise.
He promised he would initiate policies and laws that would enable the U.S. to be free of importing oil from foreign lands.
Fifty-Two percent of the country believed him so much that he was voted as the number one leader of the free world; our United States President.
So, what say we review exactly what our President has done since January, 2009 to stop oil importing from foreign countries:
1. With pressure from the EPA he banned coal mining capacities in West Virginia.
2. Loaned over two Billion dollars to Brazil so they can drill for oil, and then promised that the
U.S. would be Brazil's biggest customer. George Soros owns the drilling company.
3. Will not allow the Keystone Pipeline to process oil to the U.S., forcing Canada to consider
selling its oil rights to China.
4. Is hold up oil lease distribution to areas in the the contiguous U.S.
5. Will not allow oil drilling in Alaska.
And maybe the most horrendous thing he has done for oil drilling for the United States is he gave, free of charge, seven islands off the coast of Alaska to Russia. Under some obscure maritime law, that he could have changed at any time, he granted these seven islands to Putin of Russia. All seven of these islands have large oil reserves under them.
Remember the microphone faux paux with Medvedev, when Obama whispered "After this election I will have more flexibility". Ever wonder what he meant by that statement?
Yes, Mr. President, I, along with millions of hard working Americans suffering from true 14% unemployment would like to thank you for all you've done to drill for oil and create jobs for fellow Americans. Any future plans to stop oil importing Mr. President?

Name calling
Recently a critic of one of my blogs responded in the only way it seems he could; by name calling.
Kind of reminds me of another quote by Abraham Lincoln during the civil war. Lincoln was verbally attacked by many, complaining Lincoln's top General U.S. Grant was nothing more than a drunkard. Lincoln's response, "Well, considering the success Grant is having in ending the war, find out what Scotch he's drinking and send a case to each of my other Generals".
I would like to suggest to my critical friend: When you are up against someone who is doing so much better than you, or those whom you have loyalty to, find some facts, or find out some useful information about your enemy. When you do nothing more than cast virile statements and lies you make yourself look so small.
Let's take a look at the journalists and broadcasters at the network that you seem to pledge your allegiance to. Of course I'm speaking (writing) about MSNBC. There's Matthews, Schultz, Maddow, Sharpton, Basir, Ratigan, Basir, and let's not forget Andrea Mitchell.
The ratings of these broadcasters are so poor, they barely are staying on the air. And they feel the only way Comcast allows them to continue is they get some attention with lies and personal attacks on the number one cable TV news network, and to help in any way they can to help get Obama reelected. Of course you know who that number one cable TV network is...Fox!
If Romney wins in November, and there are strong indications he will, I can only imagine, maybe predict, that Comcast will change the format at MSNBC, and your icons will most likely flee to Gore's network to join Olberman.
So, my dear liberal-progressive Democrat, find out what Fox is doing right, and try to understand why they are number one, rather than spewing lies and personal attacks at them.
Don't you find it interesting that the relatively new Fox show, The Five, has a very strong liberal Democrat on the show every day, and they have immediately jumped ahead of all the viewerships at MSNBC? What is Fox doing right? You think MSNBC can come up with a show like that? I think not.

Fox
I just have to start this blog with perhaps Abraham Lincoln's most famous quote: "You can fool some of the people all the time, all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time"
We have major networks, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS, and MSNBC that will not report the news fairly to the American people. And have you noticed how their ratings have continued to
drastically fall? Why is that? Could it be Americans are getting smarter?
I would, however, like to alert folks there is a network who will report the news objectively. It's called the Fox News Channel. And, also, have you noticed that Fox's ratings continue to climb.
What that means is that when Americans want the news reported objectively they will tune into Fox.
When Americans want to be "entertained" they will tune into their favorite journalist celebrities on the major networks. I am so amused that while Fox's ratings continue to climb the other networks, mainly MSNBC continue to spew personal attacks on the people at Fox, rather than spend energy to improve their format to improve their ratings.
People watch the news at Fox to watch and listen to the news objectively. Do these other networks, mainly MSNBC really think they can improve their ratings by telling lies and personally attacking Fox? It doesn't work that way.
Fox example, Americans want to know the complete true story on "Fast & Furious", but do most of you know that the major networks devote very little or no time to reporting it. Ever wonder why?
The easiest thing to do is to verbally attack someone else. Just ask Schultz, Matthews, Maddow, O'Donnel, Basir, and Sharpton at MSNBC. Is it any wonder that their ratings COMBINED don't even equal one show of O'Reilly and The Five. Ever wonder why?
One of the critique readers of my blog threw some verbal attacks at my blog, and even encouraged me to stop watching Fox. My only answer is I'm faithful to Fox because their format is to report the news "FAIR & BALANCED". Try it for one week. I guarantee you'll stay with Fox.

Don't buy it
I always enjoyed figuring out how a magic trick really works. The left hand distracts you while the right hand does the "magic". I've used these distraction tactics on my wife for years ...."honey, instead of cleaning the garage, why don't I check our computer to make sure it doesn't have a virus on it?"
Folks, that's exactly what the Obama administration is doing. They are making up all kinds of distractions so you won't focus on the real issue confronting Americans today; jobs and the economy.Don't buy it!
If they can get ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC to continue calling you a racist because you don't believe in Obama's policies, that's distracting you from focusing on what's really important to Americans; jobs and the economy. Don't buy it!
The media, especially MSNBC will serve up an entire program trying to convice you that if you don't vote for Obama it's because he's an African-American. While you're watching the program what is it you're not thinking about...jobs and the economy. Don't buy it!
One particular broadcaster from MSNBC stated on his show that Ann Romney rides horse only because she's a rich person who can't relate to the middle class. What this broadcaster failed to report was that horse riding has been proven to be extremely beneficial in many ways for patients who have multiple sclerosis. Just another distraction. Don't buy it!
Another MSNBC broadcaster lambasted Romney as being out of touch with the middle class because he didn't understand how the chain store deli Wa-Wa works. The broadcaster didn't finish the segment, which showed GOP hopeful Romney did understand how Wa-Wa works, and promoted how the private sector is having this success without government intervention. Just one more distraction. Don't buy it!
And now, maybe the biggest distraction of all. President Obama is so frightened that his close friend, Attorney General Holder, is in such deep trouble with "Fast & Furious" that he invoked Presidential Privilege so Holder wouldn't have to turn over documents that would seal Holder's doom, and maybe the President as well. Just another distraction. Don't buy it!
It's so obvious that the President cannot campaign on his record of failed policies. So what does he do? He uses more and more distractions, so you'll not focus on what is really troubling Americans today...jobs and the economy. Don't buy it!
John and Jane Doe are worried about jobs and the economy. They want to get back to work to take care of their families and their futures. They want someone who can offer solutions to get this great country back on its feet and grow forward. They don't want distractions. Don't buy it!
Have you noticed the amount of fund raisers, along with his golfing, that this President is frequenting? Has he ever once given us a solution? In three and a half years has he ever submitted a budget? What he is doing is offering many distractions, along with the lies and racist claims of ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC. Distractions....don't buy it!
Folks, do not buy this. Don't give him four more years to continue this. We can't afford it.
