90% Tax On Your Ass

Obama together with his treasury secretary flexed presidential muscle on insurance company AIG by putting together a bill to tax any bonuses given to employees of companies receiving federal bail out whose income exceeds $250,000. Earlier this month AIG gave out bonuses to its employees upwards of $500,000 each using money from their federal bail out.

Obama's 90% claw back tax bill passed the House of Reps 328 to 93. The bill still has to pass the senate. The bankers are freaking out. What will they do with a measely $250,000??

Obama's victory speech in full: WATCH

Middle America Is Scared...

Of an Arab Obama?

Obama "America can be a better country"

45 years to the day after the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech on the Mall in Washington
Barack Obama accepted his historic Democratic Party presidential nomination for the White House Thursday night in Denver.

As he gave his speech he promised to keep the American dream alive

“America, we are better than these last eight years,” he said. “We are a better country than this.”

He went on to promise tax cuts for the middle class and pledging to wean the country from dependence on Middle East oil within 10 years to address high fuel prices.

"America, we cannot turn back. Not with so much work to be done. Not with so many children to educate, and so many veterans to care for. Not with an economy to fix and cities to rebuild and farms to save. Not with so many families to protect and so many lives to mend. America, we cannot turn back. We cannot walk alone. At this moment, in this election, we must pledge once more to march into the future. Let us keep that promise - that American promise - and in the words of Scripture hold firmly, without wavering, to the hope that we confess."

Mr. Obama is the first African-American to be nominated for the White House by a major party
