Brilliant move by Gensler AIA.
They are staunchly far left Obama types and hence anti private sector except for their OWN business.

Gensler AIA knows that if Obama is re-elected, Big Govt expenditures will be the only hope as Obama destroys prosperity in the private sector.

“For these white liberals to believe they can have this condescending manner toward black conservatives, that we need to have approval from our, I guess,‘masters,’ for us to be able to speak – see that’s where the true racism really lies, Governor, is with the white liberals who don’t want to see someone such as myself that broke away from their dependency class and is out here and able to possibly contend against them with the policies that they are promoting that is destroying the black community. I know I’m their number one target and it just emboldens me to speak out even stronger,” Rep. Allen West (R-FL) said on this weekend’s broadcast of “Huckabee.”

“And the heck with them if they think someone else needs to approve of me and what I stand for,” West said on FOX News.

Conservaturds don't outnumber liberals. That is patently false. Many republicans jumped ship and now call themselves independents. 50% of this country IS MODERATE, not conservative.

Independents are moderate and they will decide this election.

As for Allen West...he's an ignorant misogynist, anti-semite, racist against whites and he's phucking stupid. Came to my kids school and after observing their solar project, he informed them "You DO know that the sun moves during the day and your panels should be motorized to follow it." Gawwwlllllly, no, duhhhhh errrrrr...didn't know that...drool. Hate him. I truly truly hate him. May he rot in hell with Rick Scott, Bush, Cheney, Akin, Boehner etc. They are all stupid and have almost destroyed this great country. Give them any more power and they will completely ruin us.

I'm sorry but could you repeat that? I couldn't concentrate on the content of your post because your grammar is so abysmal. Let me guess, you went to the College of hard knocks?

Obama/Biden 2012
Maxine Waters (D-CA) has been named one of the most corrupt members of Congress by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) in 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2011. She is facing an ethics trial for using her position as a ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee to force Treasury officials to meet with her for what the House Ethics Committee alleges led to favorable action for OneUnited Bank.

In the interest of space and word constraints, the charges against her can be reduced to this: It is alleged that Waters used the weight of her senior position on the committee to arrange a meeting with then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. The request for the meeting was masked as her advocating TARP money on behalf of minority-owned banks in desperate financial straits, brought about by failed Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae investments. But as the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) pointed out, the end result was that the only bank to receive financial assistance from TARP was OneUnited Bank, which received $12 million.

The problem is that her efforts were in her official capacity and compounding that, the only bank to receive TARP money was the bank in which her husband had investments. These were valued between $500,000 and $1 million. Her husband also happened to be a board member of the bank, and the bank had contributed $12,500 to her election campaigns. The House Ethics Committee charged Waters with multiple offenses commensurate with her actions.

But NLPC — the group responsible for uncovering Waters’ alleged misdeeds — updated the case, saying:


The congresswoman’s trial was to begin last November [2010], but was delayed indefinitely after new documents surfaced. The documents consist of a series of emails between Waters’ chief of staff and grandson Mikael Moore, and members of the Financial Services Committee. The emails show that Moore participated in discussions regarding the bank bailout legislation that directly affected OneUnited.

When confronted with charges similar to those for which mafia chieftains have been imprisoned, you and I would attempt to retreat from the court of negative public opinion. But Maxine Waters isn’t most people — she is an arrogant, powerful, high-ranking, senior member of Congress.

Her thirst for power is unabated, and with Barney Frank (D-MA) having announced he will retire at the end of this term, his position as the ranking Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee is about to open up. Without regard for appearance, Waters has made it known that she is laying the necessary groundwork to become the ranking Democrat on the very committee whose rules she is facing trial for breaking.

Typical WH/DOJ,Corruptive practices..Democrats
Liberals,Marxists/Communists,W hich BTW,Waters
is???

They are a living Example of why they and their
Corrupted Colleagues,Paid for,And supported by
us.Simply have to be REMOVED FROM OFFICE,OR THIS
CESSPOOL WILL CONTINUE,TO BREAK THE BACKS OF ALL
AMERICANS!!

BTW,ENGLISH,IS MY SECOND LANGAUGE,HOW MANY DO YOU
SPEAK,I SPEAK,FRENCH,ITALIAN,SPANISH,R OMANIAN????

SO CONCENTRATE ON THE CONTENT,ITS A SLIMY WAY OF
DUCKING THE QUESTIONS,VERY PREVALENT AMONG THE

The Democratic billionaires are back.

Last month was the first time a super-political action committee supporting President Barack Obama attracted the attention of multiple big-money contributors, a review of Federal Election Commission records shows.

The billionaire donors to Priorities USA Action were: Irwin Jacobs, who built Qualcomm Inc.(QCOM); Jon Stryker, an architect whose fortune comes from his family’s medical supply business; and Haim Saban, a media executive who was one of President Bill Clinton’s top fundraisers.

The trio gave a combined $3 million, about half what the super-PAC raised in June, its best fundraising month yet. It was the first time any of those donors had contributed to Priorities.

Meanwhile, George Soros, a billionaire financier who underwrote much of the failed effort to oust President George W. Bush in 2004, cut a $1 million check in June to American Bridge, a super-PAC that focuses on opposition research.

The donations are significant because Obama’s supporters have lagged far behind the fundraising pace of Republican super- PACs seeking to defeat him. Priorities has raised $21 million, compared with $122 million collected by the two primary groups opposing him.

Republican Billionaires

Republican super-PACs have secured multiple contributions from billionaires including Las Vegas Sands (LVS) chairman Sheldon Adelson, Houston investor Harold Simmons and William Koch, head of Oxbow Carbon. Their money has flowed mostly to American Crossroads, a super-PAC formed with help from Bush’s political strategist Karl Rove, and Restore Our Future, which was founded by former aides to presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.

Returning to the Democratic fold in a big way is former Bill Clinton bundler Saban, a 67-year-old billionaire music and television producer who made his fortune with the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers children’s series.

A strong supporter of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the 2008 primary, Saban made his first contribution to an Obama campaign on Dec. 19, 2011, giving his re-election bid $5,000, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington- based group that tracks federal donors.

Just 18 days earlier, White House visitor records show, Saban paid a visit to the West Wing where William Daley, then Obama’s chief of staff and now the president’s campaign co- chairman, signed him in for a meeting.

Oval Office

Saban told The Hollywood Reporter afterward that he and Obama “talked policy” during a one-on-one meeting in the Oval Office.

On June 25, Saban gave $1 million to Unity 2012, an umbrella group for Priorities and several other Democratic super-PACs. Saban was the only donor listed in the new group’s July quarterly report, and $333,333 of his money went to Priorities.

Saban has maintained his relationship with Bill Clinton. The former president headlined a Democratic National Convention fundraising event in June at Saban’s Beverly Hills, California, home, according to the convention website. Bill Burton, a co- founder of Priorities, is also seeking Clinton’s help in raising money, he said July 14 on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt.”

Israel Support

Saban, a dual citizen of the U.S. and Israel, has told reporters previously that his interests include support of the Jewish state and abortion rights. He is chief executive officer of Broadcast Media Partners Inc. and chairman of Univision Communications Inc., the Spanish-language network.

“As a long-time supporter of the Democratic Party, I recently made contributions to multiple super-PACs that back causes central to the party,” Saban said in an e-mailed statement last night.“I have, and always will be, a champion of the Democratic Party, President Obama, and the party’s elected officials.”

Before June, the only billionaire who’d given to Priorities was director Steven Spielberg. He wrote a $100,000 check a year ago.

Some people have a talent for absorbing
many languages but really, if you can't
write English properly, you aren't really
fluent in English so perhaps you should
say you speak 4 languages well, but not English.
I only speak 2. English and German but I'm
an accomplished musician. Can you perform
a 50 page Mozart Sonata from memory? Probably
not and that's ok. I think you missed the point.
We all have strengths in different
areas and yours is not in composition
or debate. I'm not saying that as a
leftist democrat. I'm saying that as
an educated American who is quite adept
at debating.
Have a great day.

He was just following in the footsteps of George W. Bush who sealed his
High School records, his college records, his arrest records, his record in the military and his wife's record who killed a man with her car.
