Obama Accuses Putin of Being A Liar
Have you ever noticed how a wrongdoer is apt to accuse you of their actions? A cheating spouse will accuse their mate. You can someone on a lie and they accuse you of a fib. Yea....like that.

Using these "tells" and considering the last several years; the economy, the participation rate, food stamps, cash for clunkers, Obama-care, fast and furious, Benghazi, Egypt, Syria, Ukraine, relations with Israel, the border, IRS, ...too many to recall; it is clear to me, as a Nation, we elected the wrong President, he's a loser!
So, what are his actions? Fast and furious=stonewall; Benghazi= stonewall; When conservative businessman Herman Cain was getting traction? Destroy him! Has anyone heard from any of those ladies since Cain dropped out?
My take on the big 0, he wants us to back away from our successes and live more like Kenyans or Chinese. Our pulling back will give them the opportunity to gain a better life. Nice thought. It won't work because they don't know how, and the greedy of the world will pick up what ever we walk away from. He's a misguided ideologue and when he's done it will be time for the adults to set this country straight.
CEOs will be deciding how best to get to a bottom line and ROI for stockholders. Some will downsize to less than 50 full time. Some will pay the penalty and tell their employees to fend for themselves. Perhaps some will bear the cost to retain loyals. Some will move to a less than 30 hour work week (viva la France). However the CEOs individually decide, there will be somewhere north of 90,000,000 people affected. They have moved the deadline until after the election, but guys that run companies like to plan ahead. They are often working on Christmas deals in May and June. Following that logic, employees are going to get the "it sucks to be you" message well before election. 90M, 51% of whom probably voted for the big 0 and his plan. That will leave a mark.
Our foolish President has tried for 6 years to create jobs. My second year in the rental business our plumber called in the dead of winter to see if we were going to purchase and rehab more places this year? (it was 2010) Then the painters called, same question. Then the electrician. It was a difficult time for the tradesmen. I had not set out to create jobs, I just wanted to build something for myself. In the process I needed door and window guys, painters, plumbers, electricians, anything I wasn't qualified to do. I wanted to build something. And that Mr. President is secret to creating jobs. Remove the obstacles (taxes and regulation) so that the 1%ers can find a way to build their idea. They will create all of the jobs if you just remove the obstacles.
Did that help the libertarians gain more freedom? Did it help the Christians regain their religious rights and freedoms? After noticing how ObamaCare forces abortion and contraception to be paid for by Catholic and Christian businesses; and noting we still have the NSA and IRS snooping everyone, BLM pitching armed camps in Nevada, and the militarization of local Police, I can argue very well that staying home to avoid voting for the Mormon did not help either group or any of the rest..
I'm mostly a business man. I'm drawn to AS because it fits my world view of incentive driven behavior. I don't care if the next guy is from Mars (certified citizenship is no longer necessary), If the next President will free up the system and put incentives back in place, I'm for that.
If you were in a cabin in the woods during a harsh winter, you would know you cannot expect heat from the pot belly stove until you put in the fuel. Telling the stove to make a little heat, then I will add the coal or wood does not work. When the government, through regulation and taxing, tells business pay this tax or fee, then we will allow you to do business it make a barrier to growth. If they want to repatriate US profits from foreign accounts, remove the tax burdens and the money will rush in. Gov't can't seem to do that. They want their cut even though they took no risk or offered no labor. They are the epitome of mooch.
I have an eviction going right now. I look at that as a self inflicted wound. We needed to raise the income and credit standards and didn't. So a bad actor got into our system. He will not destroy what we have built and we have already made 5 different policy changes to make it more difficult for this to happen again.
The problems with the Atlanti I have look at are; if they are stateside the US gov't can always treat them like a BLM issue or Ruby Ridge or Waco. With the use of force they can enforce their will. If it is a gated community with private security they can weaponise the EPA and kill it with water, sewage, and wildlife issues. If Atlantis is offshore, then you adopt the rights, constitution, and laws of the host Nation. I'm not strong enough to lay down $500K in Belize only to find a few years from now it had been nationalized and while they enjoy my money I am free to leave. That kind of loss would leave a mark. So, I'm open to ideas. I personally think the shorter path is to fix what we have. I know it will take a complete breakdown. When the Social Security checks bounce, then people will know where we are. But I'm not against Atlantis, I simply haven't seen a viable concept yet.
People who view life as a win/lose situation in which they must cause loss in order to gain are the lowest form of humanity and are to be avoided if possible. Too bad there are so many of them in Washington!
Because Barry KNOWS lying.
