And was greeted when he walked off Airforce One by, New York Governor Cuomo, Housing Secretary Shaun Donovan, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

“We’re going to have to put some of the turf battles aside,” Obama said in remarks on the ravaged eastern shore of Staten Island. “We’re going to have to make sure that everybody is focused on doing the job as opposed to worrying about who is getting the credit or who is getting the contracts, or all that stuff that sometimes goes into the rebuilding process.”

In a three-hour sweep through storm-ravaged neighborhoods that included a helicopter tour of southern Brooklyn and Queens and meetings with storm victims on Staten Island, the President spoke in general terms about his commitment to help the city — but made no specific promises.

“I’m very proud of you, New York,” Obama said after walking through a Staten Island neighborhood that was devastated by the historic hurricane. “You guys are tough. You bounce back.”

Mississippi Still Racist in 2012!

The ReadyWriter

About 600 ‘Ole Miss’ students gathered Wednesday for the “We Are One Mississippi” counter-protest. Racial slurs were used when about 400 students gathered to protest President Obama’s re-election Tuesday night. The Tuesday night protest grew to about 400 students after Obama was re-elected.

Some shouted, “The South will rise again” during the protest, eyewitnesses and university police officials told The Clarion-Ledger. Others used racial slurs. An Obama campaign sign was also burned.

University of Mississippi students held a candlelight march to protest a spontaneous anti-Obama demonstration on Election Night that turned ugly when some students shouted racial slurs.

Ole Miss is still grappling with its legacy as the setting of racial riots in 1962 after James H. Meredith was enrolled as the school’s first black student. Two people were killed in the violent protests, which forced President John F. Kennedy to send in federal troops.

“It just makes me angry that we’re celebrating 50 years of integration yet people decided to be stupid last night and throw a fit over the election,” student Jordan Price told WREG.

“There’s no place for something like this in our school,” student Mackenzie Widder said.

School and police officials told The Clarion-Ledger that some reports, including those describing the demonstration as a “riot,” were exaggerated.

Dean of Students Sparky Reardon said: “There were tens of thousands of other Ole Miss students who were studying or working for campus media or attending election watch parties. They were busy doing what Ole Miss does best”

 The school is working on an appropriate response to the incident.

All of this took place because President Barack Obama was re-elected for a second term? What did they do four years ago when he was elected?

“CEO will fire his employees if Obama is Re-elected”

David Siegel, this flashy Florida billionaire has warned his employees; “If Barack Obama is re-elected they should all fear for their jobs”.

In an email Siegel sent to all 7,000 of his employees at Westgate Resorts, David Siegel suggested his staff may want to think twice about voting for Barack Obama if they want to keep their jobs.

“In spite of all of the challenges we have faced, the good news is this: The economy doesn’t currently pose a threat to your job. What does threaten your job however, is another 4 years of the same Presidential administration,” he wrote in the email, which was leaked by his staff and quickly went viral.

“Of course, as your employer, I can’t tell you whom to vote for, and I certainly wouldn’t interfere with your right to vote for whomever you choose,” he continued. “In fact, I encourage you to vote for whomever you think will serve your interests the best. However, let me share a few facts that might help you decide what is in your best interest.”

The email goes on to make the argument that if Obama is re-elected and raises taxes on the wealthy, the 77-year-old Siegel will be forced to cut jobs and will have no motivation to continue to work, which would mean his staff could find themselves unemployed.

“So, when you make your decision to vote, ask yourself, which candidate understands the economics of business ownership and who doesn’t?” he wrote. “Whose policies will endanger your job?

In the meantime, Siegel’s dream mansion sits on 90,000-square-foot gated retreat in Windermere, Florida., it’s currently under construction for additional improvements. 

And although Siegel claims his email is not a threat or intimidation tactic to his employees, he had no idea it would fire off such the media storm that it has.

Obama SUCKED in last night’s debate!

The ReadyWriter

Yes he was that bad…

I was so pissed as I watched last night’s debate and President Obama looked down, pursed his lips, appeared distracted, stuttered, all while Governor Mitt Romney was attentive, engaged and relaxed as he lied.  Romney made it “all about him” as he came with a frame for the evening, and was prepared to engage President Obama on every question; and because of his documented faith in his own abilities, Mitt Romney felt he could wing it with snatches of familiar verbiage.

There was barely a moment when Obama offered any sense that he was prepared to challenge Romney on his weakest point. The President allowed Romney to piggy back off his policies and be aggressive in this debate, it was like Obama became a straight wimp!

Even on the most basic political points, President Obama seemed clueless. When you argue as a Democrat that you and your Republican opponent share wide areas of agreement on Social Security—especially when recipients make up a chunk of Romney’s “47 percent” of indolent spongers—you have thrown in a fistful of high cards.

What remains after this debate, is one key question that the next 48 to 72 hours will answer: Did this debate change the minds of significant numbers of voters?

Assuming that the flash polls are right and that most viewers thought Romney won the debate. I did what about you?

Both Donald Trump And Mitt Romney Are Phony!!

The ReadyWriter

First the Donald was going to endorse Newt Gingrich but much to everyone’s surprise Donald Trump has endorsed Republican candidate Mitt Romney for president.

In announcing his decision today at a packed news conference, Trump said Romney is “not going to allow bad things to continue to happen to this country we all love.”

Romney said he was honored to receive Trump’s endorsement, but he is more concerned with winning the endorsement of Nevada voters in the presidential caucuses Saturday.

Romney, who famously said he didn’t care about the poor, is not concerned with repairing his image as a racist elitist.

Romney will roundly defeat him in the upcoming Presidential election in November.

Romney told CNN, “I’m concerned about the very heart of America, the 90 to 95 percent of Americans who right now are struggling.” He added: “I’ll continue to take that message across the nation.”

Can Romney roundly defeat President Obama in the upcoming Presidential election in November??
