Iranian Offical Call President Obama the “N-word”

So much for bowing and scraping to dictators. An Iranian Official uses the Farsi language equivalent of the “N-word” in reference to President Obama. Mohammad Javad Larijani used the derogatory word in a speech  critical of the President. PBS reports

“When Barack Obama was sworn into office he talked of verbally engaging Iran,” the U.C. Berkeley graduate was quoted as saying. “What has changed is that today this [the equivalent of the N-word in Farsi] talks of regime change in Iran.”

In a Saturday meeting at the Islamic Engineers Society, Larijani said, “I am not a racist, but I must respond to this man [Obama] in some way.”

Larijani’s brother, Ali, is the speaker of Majles (Parliament). Another brother, Sadegh, is head of the judiciary.

WOW! How’s that for “Hope and Change!”

Mr. President you cant talk to everybody. Iran absolutely want noting to do with us. By the way you barely did anything in regarding to people who want to overthrow the current regime. So much for freedom.

The Three ways the Obama Stimulus has Saved or Created Jobs

Three White House spokespersons give conflicting information on how many jobs were saved or created on the Sunday shows.  The three spokespersons Valerie Jarrett President Obama “On Meet the Press” on NBC adviser has saved or created thousand and thousands jobs.  David Axelrod on CNN’s “State of the Union”  says the White House  has saved or created 2 million jobs. While  White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs say the stimulus saved or Created 1.5 million jobs.

Only one problem  that true for the public sector workforce however, that’s not true for the private sector. Unemployment is 10% 85,000 jobs lost in  December of 2009.  There is 15.3 million people out of work if you add in the underemployed it’s closer to 19 million.

No wonder unemployment is high as it is the White House can’t keep its stories straight.

He’s Back!!!!!!!!!!Osama Bin Laden Praises The Undie Bomber and Implies More to Come.

Happy New Year from OBL. Osama Bin Laden sent out is his late taped missive. In it he praises Christmas Day bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab who attempted to blow up a Northwest/Delta flight transatlantic bank from Amsterdam to Detroit.

The message which was obtained and aired on Al-Jazeera on Sunday also contain code words that may suggest that new terrorist attack is imminent. (That may explain on Friday the Home Secretary United Kingdom  has raised the terror level to severe. The equal of US Homeland Security Department  Orange level warning)

The words at issue ‘Peace be upon those who follow guidance” discovered by the private security group IntelCenter which monitor Islāmic web site  says the writing and the way of the release show a potential attack is coming within the  next 12 months. The phrase is found at the beginning and ending of the message.  This is uses as a warning against their enemies that they “need to change their ways or they will be attacked,” the group said.

Bin Laden justification is the support of  Israel. He warned the United States that, “God willing, our attacks against you will continue as long as you maintain your support to Israel.”

IntelCenter said the audio statement “appears to be exactly what it purports to be, an audio message from bin Laden.”

“The manner of release, content of message and other factors indicate it is a credible and new release from bin Laden,” it said.

OBL uses the phrase  as a predicate of attack: In March 2008  Bin Laden use the word to condemn the cartoon depictions of the Prophet Mohammed which followed by an attack on the Danish Embassy in Islamabad on June 2, 2008.

“Consequently, audio messages are the rule, not the exception, and thus speculation as to health or anything else merely because the message is in audio form and not video does not hold up to analytical scrutiny,” IntelCenter  spokesperson added.

Tax War Brewing in Oregon

If you are business owner or a wealthy person Salem  is coming for you. The Oregon State Legislature has crafted two major tax initiatives which will increase personal income tax . The other bill will increase business taxes .

The bills  written to capture the mood against the big business which in many minds the have paid their fair share.

On the flip side, the measure may also capture opposite mood of no more tax and spend policies from the State legislature.  Public  service employees  who big benefits and seen very little job cut vs industry where the state unemployment rate at 11%.

Measure 66 will increase personal taxes for the most wealthy Oregonians 2 percent Measure 67 will increase business taxes from $ 10 to $150.

Politicians need to raise to  $733 million to cover a short fall.

Supporters include public sector union, teachers and charities to protect poor and underprivileged and protect schools from budget cuts.

On the no side is Business leaders including Nike, Inc. Founder and Chairman Phil Knight call the measures “Oregon’s Assisted Suicide Law II” which would kill business in Oregon.

Supporter of Measure 67 say the bill is needed because in 2003 voters rejected an across the board tax increase which would protect funding in downtime. Because of this Oregon Public Schools ended the school year a month early.

Another reason for the increase the incorporation tax has remained at $10 since it’s start in 1931. Many large corporations have not paid any significant taxes to the state treasury.

Families in Oregon have paid $3100 in taxes versus $10 for corporations. ” That’s more than 300 corporations combined!”

Opponents who call themselves Oregonians Against Job-Killing Taxes say Measure 67″suffering, profitless businesses” with new taxes of “up to $100,000” a year, and may kill up 70,000 jobs.  The bill will increase taxes on the gross receipts that don’t see a profit. A few business will see $100,000  tax on their revenue. Oregon Legislative Revenue Office says only 97%  of business will only pay the 100,000  tax.

One supporter of the bill former Oregon Senate candidate Steve Novick at a recent debate Mittleman Jewish Community center  points of Proctor and Gamble (P&G) is one of many out-of-state business that pay $10  tax.  But a spokesperson from P&G told the Wall Street Journal that  not correct. P&G pays  a corporate tax rate at 6.6%  Only business that don’t show a profit will pay the $10 tax.

Wall State Journal as more.
