Obama vs Romney: One Day Left To Get The First Lady Of The USA

The time for campaigning is over and now its time to see who will get the better of the American voters this Tuesday. The world’s most dramatic and the most costly political race to what is arguably the most powerful political office in the world has now entered its final stages, with the American Presidential election beginning Tuesday at midnight.
In the final stages of campaigning and opinion polls, it was reported that the Presidential candidate Mitt Romney and the serving President Obama were almost in a neck to neck competition but President Obama was leading in some states that are considered the essential political battlegrounds in the US. Even the opinion poll results are not very positive for either Romney or Obama – at the state level they are almost tying at equal – Obama at 48% while Romney at 47%, with a margin of error. Out of 583 electoral colleges a candidate requires 270 electoral colleges to win the race to the White House. Obama has 204 colleges in his favor while Romney has 190 colleges to him, according to the opinion poll conducted by RealClearPolitics.com in the States.

The question now is who will win the keys to the most powerful political office in the world. Ahead of the elections, nations dependent on America are watching the political drama unfold in America with intent, because the person elected will not only rule the White House for the next four years but will also be, in a sort of way, the leader of the world.

Obama vs Romney: One Day Left To Get The Most Powerful Person On Earth
-------------------------------------------
30 million people in America have already cast their votes by early balloting. The voter turnout at the 2008 poll was 130 million.
The effect of the Hurricane Sandy will be felt on the elections no doubt, but that effect will be restricted to the east coast which was mostly affected by the hurricane. The rest of America will still be voting for health-care, jobs and a better economy.

Obama vs Romney: One Day Left To Get The Most Powerful Person On Earth
-->

By JOHN Peterson
November 06, 2011
The health of the US economy has been the central theme to the run up to the coming US election, with both President Barack Obama and the Republican challenger Mitt Romney. Both have sought to convince the American people that both had individual plans to bring speedy growth and job creation.
The American economy plodded to break over a 2% yearly growth pace since the 2007 to 2009 recession and unemployment stays high at 7.9%. It is to be noted that about 23 million yanks are either jobless, part time workers seeking full time jobs but have given up the effort to search.
The plans for the economy of Obama and Romney may be followed. Obama plans to strengthened American manufacture,expand small enterprises, improve education and be less dependent on foreign oil. He sees 1 million new manufacturing jobs by 2016, 600,000 jobs in the natural gas sector and hire 100,000 math and science teachers. Of course there is the need to repair and replace old roads. Money saved ending wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, would be carried over for infrastructure projects.
Romney has assured on the other hand 12 million jobs in his first term if elected.Or 250,000 jobs a month tentatively. His plans are for tax reforms, economy toward energy independence, slashing regulations and enhancing trade especially with China.
There is housing crisis at the core of the economy,s woes. Both the gentlemen did not spell out detailed plans for how they would go about the execution.
Obama fought the independent regulator of government-controlled Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Edward DeMarco, trying to convince him into mortgaging finance firms, to lessen principal for borrowers, owing more than their homes are worth.
Romney remarked at one point in his campaign that housing market needed to hit bottom, without government interference, and offered few clues, on his likely approach to foreclosures.It is agreed that government hand in the mortgage market should be reduced. However neither candidate has outlined a plan to execute.
Obama wants Chairman Ben Bernanke to accept a third term, but sources say that he may decline. His term expires on Jan. 31, 2013. he may be substituted with Fed Vice Chairwoman Janet Yellen, and Romney would not reappoint Bernanke.
Sources say that whoever is chosen by Romney will be little hawkish than Bernanke. Advisers Glenn Hubbard, Greg Mankiw and John Taylor of Romney are in the race.
-->
Obama proposed to cut the government budget deficit by more than $4 trillion by the next decade.Romney wants to cut marginal tax rates for individuals by 20% and broaden the tax base by closing loopholes. He would keep all the Bush tax cuts in place in a plan which would be revenue neutral. He also wants to reduce federal spending to 20% of US GDP over four years from its current level of about 24%. Both want to reduce the corporate tax rate, although Romney would reduce it further.
-----------------------------------------------

Romney has further pledged to repeal the entire law. Although many feel it to be hollow.Obama wants to keep on his current path as regulators work to put in place provisions of the Dodd-Frank financial reform law.
Finally let the best man be elected.

ASEAN NEWS - United states President Barack Obama had a meeting on the sidelines of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (Asean) summit in Bali (Indonesia) on Friday with Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao.
In the brief talks Obama focused on increasing the US influence in the region when China is seen wielding growing power.

This is the first time a US president attended East Asia Summit
Asean is Southeasian Asian countries' regional bloc along with eight dialogue partners. Russia and United States joined from this year.
Formal statements are yet to arrive but it is learned from other media sources the talks may have been dominated by trade and maritime security - in particular the South China Sea contentious issue.
The South China Sea got oil and gas reserves potential and also its an important shipping route. The whole of the sea is claimed by China and parts of it are also claimed by other South East Asian nations.
Philippines asked Washington to step in and help in solving the row, but Surin Pitsuwan - Asean secretary general - said the issue can be resolved peacefully by themselves.
Obama pledged on Thursday of increasing the United States engagement with the region along with a strong military presence that includes US Marines deployment to Australia.

Julian Assange Mother To Protest Obama's Australia Visit
Written By Bob Goswami on Wednesday, November 9, 2011 | November 09, 2011

November 09, 2011
Christine Assange told to media, "I'll get as close as I can."
On the day Obama will be addressing a special sitting of the parliament.
The 40-year-old Julian Assange said, "I'm asking Australians around the country on November 17th to refuse to celebrate the Obama visit and instead replace it with a day of support for Julian."
The WikiLeaks, anti-secrecy website of Assange, has enraged governments around the world by leaking thousands of United States diplomatic cables on the Internet.
Recently Assange lost his extradition fight from Britain to Sweden. His mother fears he will be rendered to the US.
Until now Australia has been giving consular support to Assange, but it has made it clear to Britain and Sweden that the government will not intervene directly in the legal processes of other countries.
As a US president, this is the first visit of Obama to Australia. Last time George W Bust, the then US president visited the country in 2007 in Australia for the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum.
Two previous trips of Obama was canceled due to Gulf of Mexico oil spill and oversee passage of domestic health reforms.
This visit of Obama will mark the 60th anniversary of military alliance between the two countries.
Afterwards, Obama will attend the Indonesian resort island of Bali for East Asia summit.

Sorry, No Jobs In US This Month
Written By Admin on Saturday, September 3, 2011 | September 03, 2011
By STAFF Writer
August 03, 2011
Statistics released today by the Bureau of Labour Statistics on the employment growth in America reveals the unemployment rate remained at 9.1% or 14 million. This is the first time in 2011 the largest economy of the world failed to add new jobs.
The statistics showed unchanged non-farm payroll employment in August. After the data was released, the US stocks market tumbled. Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged more than 200 points and Standard & Poor's 500 went down by 2%. Immediately a blame game was triggered between the Democrats and Republicans.
According to Wall Street Journal, more pressure has been created on President Barack Obama after the failure of adding new jobs. The pressure will also be hovered on Federal Reserve chief Ben Bernanke to revive the labor market.
Quote-Unquote
These numbers show that America is still facing a jobs crisis - Eric Cantor, R-Va (House Republican leader)
Since taking office, the president's policies have made a difficult situation worse - Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis. (chairman of the House Budget Committee)
It wasn't a shock today. The president who wants to get reelected doesn't care what you think of him right now. He hasn't done enough to try to create jobs and it's been obvious - William Lefkowitz (Chief Options Strategist at vFinance Investments, New York)

China Fury Over Obama Meets Dalai Lama
Written By Admin on Saturday, July 16, 2011 | July 16, 2011
July 16, 2011
CHINA NEWS - China has shown its hostility over US President Barack Obama’s scheduled meeting with exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama. China’s foreign ministry demanded Mr. Obama to cancel the half and hour meeting with the Dalai Lama.
The Washington private discussion with the spiritual leader is intended to show US support for Tibetan’s identity. Early February 2010 meeting of Mr. Obama and the Dalai Lama invited condemnation from Beijing.
A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said in a statement that they firmly opposed the idea of any senior foreign government to meet with the Dalai Lama.
The White House has maintained a mum position abut Beijing’s discontentment. However, in an early statement by the White House said that the US President would encourage dialogue process between the Dalai Lama’s representatives and the Chinese government to resolve differences.
In another incident, China has been heavily criticized by the Vatican for ordaining a bishop without the consent of the Pope.
Huang Bingzhang is ordained in Guangdong province by the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association, has now been excommunicated by the Vatican.
"The Holy See does not recognise him as Bishop of the Diocese of Shantou, and he lacks authority to govern the Catholic community of the Diocese," a Vatican statement said.
China has two sects of Catholics; some are members of the communist approved church, while others are faithful to the Vatican.

Twitter Revolution: Bin Laden Raid Tweeted Live
Written By one-liners on Tuesday, May 3, 2011 | May 03, 2011
TUESDAY, May 03, 2011
The U.S. force raid on Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was tweeted live, unknowingly, by an IT consultant in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
Sohaib Athar, living in Abbottabad where bin Laden was killed, tweeted initially before the assault that a overhead helicopter was hovering. He added that the helicopter may not be of Pakistan government.
Athar was not aware that he was tweeting about the biggest milestone of U.S. war against terrorism until Barack Obama announced on national television that Laden is dead.
At 1 a.m. local time Athar posted his first tweet. He said, "Helicopter hovering above Abbottabad at 1AM (is a rare event)."
Next he tweeted about a loud sound of as explosion which is now known to all about the U.S. forces blowing up their damaged helicopter.
Athar tweeted, "A huge window shaking bang here in Abbottabad Cantt. I hope its not the start of something nasty :-S."
While the assault was in progress, this IT consultant also drew information from local friends in the area who were online at the same time.
He said in his tweet, "The few people online at this time of the night are saying one of the copters was not Pakistani..."
He continued, "People are saying it was not a technical fault and it was shot down. I heard it CIRCLE 3-4 times above, sounded purposeful."
According to the US officials, the raid was for 40 mins. Athar tweeted two hours later that still a military presence is there in the area.
Athar's biography in Twitter describes him as: "An IT consultant taking a break from the rat-race by hiding in the mountains with his laptops."

OSAMA BIN LADEN IS DEAD
Written By Admin on Monday, May 2, 2011 | May 02, 2011
Monday, May 02, 2011
Al-Qaeda leader Bin Laden is Dead, says U.S. President Barack Obama.
Al-Qaida mastermind and the most wanted face of terrorism Osama bin Laden was killed in Pakistan in a firefight with United States forces on Sunday, announced President Obama.
Mr. President declared in a dramatic late-night appearance in White House East Room that "justice has been done."
Six days after 9/11 WTC attacks a reporter asked the then U.S. President George W. Bush, "Do you want Bin Laden dead?" Bush replied, "I want him — I want justice." About a decade after the quest ended with the death of Osama.

| Crowds outside White House after the news of Laden's death flashed |
In a 80-minute confrontation with American forces in the medium-sized city of Abbttabad in Pakistan came end of Bin Laden. He was presumed to be hiding for long in this remote tribal area, about an hour's drive from Islamabad and home to Pakistani military base.
The massive compound where he was sheltered included a house about eight times larger than other homes in the locality. The house, however, had no Internet connections and not even a telephone.
According to a senior administration official, when American operatives converged, Osama "resisted the assault force" and in the middle of intense gun battle he was killed.
The official added further that first time last summer intelligence and military officials learned about a "high-value target" being protected in the compound. Since then a plan was being worked to get Laden. President Obama presided few national security meetings in beginning of March at the White House to discuss about the operation plan and on Friday morning he gave the final order of strike.

Federal Government Shutdown Countdown Begins, 800,000 Staff May Be Suspended
Written By one-liners on Friday, April 8, 2011 | April 08, 2011
By ONE Liners Agency
WORLD NEWS / U.S. NEWS - Countdown has begun for government shutdown in United States after four failed talks in last three days between President Barack Obama and the Senate leaders. The shutdown will be first time in 15 years in which the budget negotiators have been able to resolved the lingering differences on Thursday night in second White House meeting. The federal shutdown could see the suspension of about 800,000 staff from work. However, efforts are being made to secure a last-minute deal at the White House meeting between Mr President and the Republican House Speaker John Boehner.
------------------------------------------------
Follow-up News: Federal Government Shutdown Averted, US Lawmakers Reach Budget Deal
------------------------------------------------
What would a federal government shutdown mean to Americans
Social Security - Of course there may be delayed for new enrollees in starting their benefits, but the existing social security checks would remain as normal and continue to be paid.
Medicare - It has been expected to flow as usual says doctors and hospitals. In the 1995 government shutdown, the Medicare payments flowed in normal way for seniors.
Postal Service - There will be no stopping in the delivery of mails and post office operations. It will be functioning usual as the postal service operates on its own funding stream.
Military and Homeland Security - People who are deemed essential for the security of the country either in Afghanistan, or US border, or at airports, would stay on the job.
Taxes - Still the tax filing date remains the same - April 18. Electronic returns will be processed said Internal Revenue Service. This means the paper returns process would be delayed by the government shutdown. The big question here is whether the department will get refunds promptly with electronic filers. Yet to find out.
Federal Government Employees - The pay of those employees whose salary is funded through annual appropriations may get furloughed. This may not be the case with those employees whose duties qualify as essential.
Federal Government Contractors - Many of the private contractors may go unpaid with this government shutdown and may be until a budget accord is reached.
What would a federal government shutdown mean to U.S. economy
According to many forecasters, the federal government shutdown would not have a big impact on the economy of the nation, if it is assumed that it does not last long. Few says it could cut down investors confidence in the economy. The investors may be more anxious whether Washington is able to manage the finances.
Martin Baily of Brookings Institution wrote recently that the shutdown could have positive impact on investors as they can see a sign "that we as a nation are going to get serious about our addiction to debt."
What other media writing on federal government shutdown
Wall Street Journal - Budget Talks Remain at Impasse
Los Angeles Times - Still no deal to avert government shutdown
USA Today - Reid blames possible shutdown on Tea Party's 'extreme social agenda'
Reuters - Reid says Republicans want shutdown to close clinics

Obama Appreciates China Over Human Right, Stresses On Economic Relation
Written By one-liners on Friday, January 21, 2011 | January 21, 2011
WASHINGTON NEWS- The US President Barack Obama Wednesday humbly admitted that China was making progress in human rights but he also asked Beijing to concentrate on the growing economic relationship between the United States and its biggest rival.
While two presidents stood side by side at a nationally televised news conference, Mr. Obama said the issue on human rights were earlier a significant cause of tension between two governments. Again, he said China must live up to human rights values that the constitution declared to the country. He emphasis on the core views on certain rights such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly.
Mr. Hu acknowledged the fact that the US had agreed on certain aspects of China's human right issues. He said the country was facing certain challenges in economic and social development and there were lots of area to be improved regarding human rights. He further expressed his willingness to talk to the US but asked a total noninterference in each other's internal affairs.
The US has a fractious relationship with China over certain human right matters, including North Korea alliance with China and Chinese currency. It is reported by administration officials that Mr. Obama pressed Chinese President specifically on China's imprisonment of its Nobel laureate, Liu Xiaobo during a private dinner at the White House Tuesday.
The visit of Chinese President also witnessed a healthy trade deals between two nations. The White House announced that the two nations would generate $45 billion in American exports with the deal. It is reported that China had agreed to take step on the theft of intellectual property and expand the opportunities for American investment in China.
The two superpower of the world have a fractious relationship over many issues and it is seeing by analysts that the visit of Chinese President gives an excellent opportunity to strengthen the economy of America and eventually invigorate the sour relationship between the White House and the US business community. William M. Daley, Mr. Obama’s new chief of staff and the former Clinton administration commerce secretary had sought to turn Mr. Hu's visit into a kind of business proposal for American companies.
On Wednesday there were a few business deals signed between two countries. The biggest one was in which China authorized Chinese companies to buy 200 airplanes from Boeing, worth $19 billion. There were also announcement of joint venture between Honeywell and Haier. Moreover, railway and energy contracts for General Electrics were signed between two countries. It is claimed that the deals would give away place for 235,000 jobs in 12 states, though the actual status of deals are still clandestine.
There were another issue raised by Mr. Hu who pressed good relations between two country's military. The US government earlier used to express concern over defiant and progressive Chinese military. There are hopes to raise better communication between the Pentagon and the People's Liberation Army.

WASHINGTON - The seven-year longer Iraq war is over - declared United States President Barack Obama Tuesday. The president said the United States has completed its mission in Iraq and now more focused on problems in the home turf.
In a prime time address from the Oval Office, Mr. Obama praised the troops who were engaged in long tough battles, admitting, though not direct, Iraq war was a mistake at a first place. He emphasized on the fragile economy and domestic issues in Iraq and said he wanted to get aloof from Afghan war.
“We have sent our young men and women to make enormous sacrifices in Iraq, and spent vast resources abroad at a time of tight budgets at home,” Mr. Obama said. “Through this remarkable chapter in the history of the United States and Iraq, we have met our responsibility. Now, it’s time to turn the page.”
Mr. Obama spoke for at about 18 minutes, praising US soldiers, their families and pointed out the role would be played by US to maintain the economy of Iraq. He said violence would continue in Iraq and US would play in active role to support a stable government. He proclaimed American fighting forces as “the steel in our ship of state,” and pledged to be as active against Al Qaeda.
He said as a President of United States his responsibility to look after dominant issues of home.
As a matter of fact, his party is facing a threat to loose control of Congress in this fall's elections and his own credibility has fallen drastically due to lackluster economy and growing unemployment among US citizens.
America has already spent over a trillion dollars at war and this is the high time to wrap up forces from Iraqi land and face the domestic challenges. It is reported that since Mr. Hussein toppled from his throne, the war claimed at least 400 American soldiers and more than 70,000 Iraqis.
