While in Pennsylvania yesterday campaigning for the Obama-Biden ticket, Hillary Clinton rewrote the Republicans’ favorite “Drill, baby, drill!” chant to reflect what Americans need right now: “Jobs, baby, jobs!”
That was the message Barack Obama delivered as he outlined an economic plan that “begins with one word that’s on everyone’s mind, and it’s spelled J-O-B-S.” Building on his previous proposals, the plan will go a long way toward helping the middle class, creating jobs, keeping people in their homes and providing help to struggling communities.
Obama’s specific proposals include:

Welcome to Vichy America
This was not just another election. The last time we had a presidential election, the Left tried to get a brazen traitor elected - namely John Kerry. This new President from the Left is even more than that. Obama was no traitor, because he never was really on our side in the first place. Obama was really a foreign candidate - in spirit, funding, and citizenship.

The Disadvantage of Privatizing Medicare
In 2003, right-wing members of Congress and the White House implemented a stealth plan to ultimately privatize Medicare. Medicare Advantage , as the program is known, moves seniors and the disabled out of traditional, government administered, Medicare and into private health insurance plans.
The problem is these private plans are more costly than the traditional Medicare program, they provide less care, and they threaten the long term financial so... more
