Obama releases certificate to rule out birth controversies

The US President Barrack Obama finally comes forward to rule out all controversies about his birthplace. Right from the presidential campaign there have been allegations made by the opposition doubting and questioning about Obama being a rightful candidate for the presidential post.

The White House has released a formal long form version of birth certificate showing that President Obama was born in Honolulu. Obama expressed his bewilderment over the queries over his birthplace. During campaigns, he had repeatedly tried to calm the voters assuring that he was a rightful candidate for the presidential post and was a legitimate native of the United States. He stated that the rivals spread the rumor in order to pull some extra votes.

Talking about the economic slump, which the United States is still struggling with, Obama stated that there were more serious matters to be thought over and no one had time to discuss such things.

According to a recent poll conducted by the CBS/New York Times, one fourth of the American population was still found under conservative influence doubted Obama’s constitutional legitimacy to be the president of the country and think that he was born outside.

This made Obama rethink over his stand on the issue. Admitting that the rumor was not doing any good to the country, he clarified the matter by releasing an official birth certificate, stated White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer on its website.

Embattling Obama takes resort to new tax plan, jobs

Obama announcing tax relief plan

President Obama’s last year predictions about economic revival have proved wrong.  Extending the tax cuts, the US president has tried to compensate for the mistakes, the democrats did last time. This is also a step to appease the Republicans in exchange of approval for unemployment benefits, reduction in payroll and other taxes.

The White House has taken a complete ‘U’ turn in its policies. The Health care Bill and financial laws have lost their glories after the hollow noise of economic recovery and the US administration has tuned back to realistic goals now.

However, all the Democrats have not welcomed these moves very warmly. Seeing positive forecasts for economic growth and jobs, the Democrats have no option but to accept the transformation of economic policies.

The midterm poll victory for Republicans gave a clear message to the Obama administration about people’s disappointment with the government. Had Obama changed his strategies on economy before the elections, the result would have been less negative for the Democrats. Even the recent changes are not expected to bring much change in the current unemployment level very soon.

What American expected from President Obama was much more than what has been delivered.  Cutting employee’s portion in tax has not done much advantage to employees.

The new extension to the tax cuts will definitely help economy but would not benefit the Democrats politically.

Emergency Jobless Benefits Extended

The United States government decided to extend the emergency jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed for another six months.
On Thursday President Obama signed a six-month extension, restoring aid to almost 3 million citizens whose payment have been cut off since the emergency unemployment benefits program expired in early June. Barely three hours after the House approved the $34 billion measure President Obama approved the extension.
“Small businesses are the engine of job growth, and measures to cut their taxes and make lending available should not be held hostage to partisan tactics like those that unconscionably held up unemployment insurance,” President Obama said.

Jon Voight Letter

Jon VoightActor Jon Voight accused President Obama of lying to Jewish people. The legendary actor, father of actress Angelina Jolie said, “You will be the first American president that lied to the Jewish people.”
In an open letter published on Washington times, Jon Voight said President Obama failed to defend Israel, the only Democratic state in the Middle East, against all their enemies.

There will be many who support the actor’s view. But the international media consider this as a baseless allegation especially since the Human Rights activists have continuously accused Israel for committing war crimes repeatedly despite international condemnation.
What the Jon Voight probably failed understand is that, it is only because he is an American he can attack the most powerful man on earth. Had he been a citizen of Israel or an Asian country and attacked the President of the country, the reaction would have been different. The American’s enjoy great freedom. But taking it too far may not be the right thing to do.

But the underdogs you defend are murderers and criminals who want Israel eradicated. You have brought to Arizona a civil war, once again defending the criminals and illegals…
– Jon Voight Letter

Do you think Jon Voight’s letter saying that Obama is raping the nation is going too far?
