Dubai is suffering from a catastrophic property slump.
But more importantly, Sen. Reid and House Democrats won’t discuss the economic damage Forced Health Insurance Costs will cause the U.S. Real Estate Industry.
After the Health Care Bill passes, the annual costs of Forced Health Insurance will disqualify millions of homebuyer-mortgage-applicants, needed to support home selling prices and values that support the housing market; and secure trillions in mortgages held by U.S. banks. Increasing forced health insurance costs will cause homebuyers to qualify for smaller mortgages. For many, forced health insurance costs may equal their paid Income Tax increasing risks of mortgage defaults. Homeowners that can’t afford health insurance or opt-out penalties, IRS can file liens destroying their credit; families deemed not poor by Government for subsidized insurance, may have to sell their homes or borrow money to buy health insurance or pay Opt-Out penalties with money needed for medical expenses.
Current falling home prices and values continue to lower property taxes, forcing local governments to layoff workers and ask federal agencies for money; increasing federal deficits. Historically dropping home values cause unemployment in related real estate industries, e.g. construction and manufacturing.

Could Costs of “Sen. Reid’s Health Care bill” Threaten U.S. Military Budgets?
China is the U.S. Government's biggest creditor. The Chinese Communists know Sen. Reid’s hugely expensive health care bill, leaves America no room whatsoever to payoff the Communists should China call in its loans. A default by U.S. Government on China’s loans could destroy U.S. credit ratings and the dollar globally, particularly with oil producing nations that accept U.S. Dollars. The Reid Health bill may costs taxpayers 2.5 Trillion when you unravel the math and may crush many States with increasing Medicaid Costs. China could potentially cripple U.S. military defense budgets by demanding full payment of U.S. debts. The Communist Government has effectively usurped U.S. global power, by allowing Congress to repeatedly approve huge borrowing from China. Reid among other Democrats may have subordinated America’s security to pass a terrible health bill for their own political purposes.

It's no secret that the liberal press is in the tank for Obama and continuously demonstrates it by their failure to report his shortcomings, his voting record, his liberal bias, and his indecisiveness. Furthermore, their ongoing and incessant attacks on Sarah Palin and her family has gone beyond good taste and common decency. Obama is arguably the weakest candidate to appear in many years and his unqualifications will very likely be his Waterloo. The Achilles heel of the liberal press is its distain of the American public by their belief that they blindly accept what they're told and that they don't pay attention. The loss in ratings by liberal TV and the plunge in subscribership by the liberal press should be a wakeup call. Perhaps a sound thrashing of their anointed one in the voting booths will be a wakeup call.

Obama is abyssmally short on practical experience, a theoretician, whose lack of substantive knowledge in every conceivable area makes him unfit to serve as a candidate for the Presidency of the United States. This is a man who as a state legislator simply chose to vote "present" 123 times and has been the champion of "Pork Barrel" politics as usual in his brief service as a U.S. Senator. His chief accomplishment as a Senator has been to run for an office for which he is singularly unqualified. Only those determined to have change for the sake of change will remain blind to the obvious truth that an Obama candidacy is nothing but political fluff. Obama does not have the wisdom or grit to be pitted against Russia's Putin or to deal with the "War on Terror". He is certainly no Colin Powell. I am a lifelong Democrat and I would not vote for Obama for for Animal Control Officer.
Put Obama's resume'and life experience against that of John McCain's. Only the politically ignorant or naive would come to the conclusion that Obama is equal to John McCain in any category.

McKinney is the only one I would consider voting for. I don't like Obama, never have and find him to be full of himself to the extreme. He represents the wannabe upper class of Blacks who think that light skinned is superior to others. Just look at how they rolled over McKinney- an AFRICAN-AMERICAN, not a hybrid who calls himself uniting then speaks to us like we need correction. He should start talking to Whites that way and see what happens. Oh, wait. They are in the majority so I guess the table crumbs are much more important than us. Had enough of the BS speeches that mean nothing. He should be coming out of an AFRICAN temple, not a Greek one. But, then again, what does Obama know about being descended from slaves. His mother is white and his father came from privelege. No, he certainly doesn't represent me or my family. We will be supporting Cynthia who doesn't have the need to doubletalk.

Truth be told, Obama supporters are labeling Puma's with their own thoughts, which do not seem to go very deep.
Puma's know exactly what is wrong with Obama. Voter fraud got him in. Fraud in the DNC cemented it. Associations with various nasty people with lots of money bought him a ticket into politics and has carried him all the way to the Democratic Party's nominee.
Bill Ayers is silent. So is the Rev. Wright. Rappers have quieted down. Rezko was found guilty. ACORN has blown a fuse, but not before creating voter fraud and chaos on behalf of Obama. A few law suits are starting to be filed about documents of all sorts relating to Obama. One can only expect the Soros name to pop up next.
The candidate who promised to filibuster, then voted the opposite of what he said he would filibuster against, also said he wanted to do town hall meetings with John McCain. But then he didn't.
Now Obama says he welcomes a discussion with McCain on who is best fit to be Commander in Chief. Well, we will see if that happens, but don't really expect anything from it. Obama has trained people to not really expect him to do anything he says and it is working for him so far. People seem perfectly content to accept his words without any back up action.
