POPSObama's "Fight The Smears" Newest "Facts" Got that? Obama believed in the organization so much that he trained them for free. At least they now admit he did work there. Once again, here is the photo of Obama guiding the ACORN activists in 2004. The Obama Camp was hoping this photo was buried forever in the internet archives Is that what he meant by "Change"? And does it worry any of the Obama supporters that the "Fight the Smears" website has to be scrubbed on a near-daily basis because the "smears" turn out to be true? Here's the Google cache's copy of Barack Obama's official "Fight the Smears" website regarding the candidate's involvement with the vote-fraud specialists known as ACORN (currently being investigated in fifteen states). http://directorblue.blogspot.com/

POPSBarrack's Wife: Michelle Obama Plays It Cool.
These people, this campaign, is incredible. I have never seen nor could even have imagined such consistent brillance. The more common reaction would be to toss insults back at McCain and instead she talks about respecting them and how Obama is going to need them! One of Obama's clever message (and I believe it's also sincere) is how Democrats, Republicans and Independents have to work together (appealing to them all), and how there is no 'Red States,' of America, nor 'Blue States,' of America -- but the United States of America (appealing to us all). Even direct enemies are invited in and it is another (I believe sincere) brilliant thing: It disarms the 'enemy,' and is a core of his political philosophy: Work Together: Consensus This has actually worked to soften significant Catholic opposition (due to the abortion issue; most difficult). (/About 56% Catholic opposition would lose the election). How? -- Allow abortions (regrettably) but work to build families; do adapti

POPSI Never Heard of Anybody Getting a Dual Ph.D. dulios recently mentioned to me that conservatives were talking about me on their threads, accusing me of lying about my education and experience. I'd say first, Google me. But, addressing it only once, this clip should be proof enough.

POPSLiving With Different Generations, What We Can Learn?
I found this clip very interesting. We can see how things are so different for all generations. Baby Boomers (ages 43 - 61), Generation X kids (ages 28 - 42), and Millennial kids ( age <27) different opinions. Your have to read it...and see how we can learn a little beet more about Generations. "For Millenials, time is the commodity of value, not money. They "work to live" but their parents "live to work" and Millenials struggle with following in their footsteps. That is, they see the Boomers stress and long work hours and sincerely don't want it. For a Millenial, when their specific portion of work is done, It's time to have fun. Time is the currency of value, not money, and if they work hard it is so they can get time off. They value time off as Boomers valued money. They tend to spend many more years in "young adulthood", the twilight between high school single hood and working parenthood. Many of them wait until they are in their late 20' to get married.

POPSThe big bailout is unlikely to work It's easy to understand why the United States is considering an apparently indiscriminate reward for those who took too much risk. The stakes are very high, and a disorderly deleveraging would be worse than an orderly one, even if the orderly one isn't perfect. The debate about whether or not the United States will need a huge intervention of public capital into its banking system and wider economy is over. The crisis requires a huge outlay of public funds, both to clean up after the many banks that will fail and to soften the blow to homeowners and consumers. Banking is a confidence game, even if done soberly and responsibly.

POPSNewt Gingrich Blasts Proposed $700 Billion Bailout Plan
This idea that we're going to buy the paper and some bureaucrat in Washington is going to be responsible for $700 billion in bad paper, I think, is socialism at its worst. I can't imagine why this administration is doing it. I think it is profoundly wrong, and I hope it is defeated if it comes to the floor in this form. GINGRICH: Well, if this is going to be rewritten, they ought to be prepared to meet all weekend. They ought to postpone the debate. I think it would be a tremendous sign for America and the world if Senator Obama were to work side by side with Senator McCain, jointly try to develop a joint bill. It think it would be a great act of the patriotism and good for the whole country, and I think it would put them beyond partisan maneuvering. So I would hope that Senator Obama would reconsider. I think the idea that Senator McCain is prepared to work while Senator Obama wants to go talk doesn't speak well for Senator Obama's judgment.

POPSWhat Happened To $100,000 Garden Money, Now Oasis of Weeds Obama vowed to "work tirelessly" to raise $1.1 million to help Smith's organization turn the City of Chicago-owned lot into an oasis of trees and paths. But Obama lost the congressional race, no more money was raised, and today the garden site is a mess of weeds, chunks of concrete and garbage. The only noticeable improvement is a gazebo. In a previous interview, Smith said the state grant money was legitimately spent, mostly on underground site preparation. But no one ever took out construction permits required for such work, city records show. And a contractor who Smith said did most of the work told a reporter all he did was cut down trees and grade the site with a Bobcat. Citing the garden's failure to take root, NeighborSpace -- an umbrella group for dozens of community gardens citywide -- moved Sept. 9 to return the site to the city. Its action followed a July 11 Sun-Times report on the grant.

POPSDoes Your Boss Know You're Reading This? Sure, people tend to spend a good deal of time at work dealing with personal stuff, surfing the web for pleasure, and so on. But we're also spending longer periods at work than ever before. Smart companies realize that allowing workers to take personal time during the day means they spend more time in the office overall, get more work done, and are happier, more productive employees.

POPSSpike in Jobless Rate for Women Worst in 33 Years Kay Carey of Chicago is living that very scenario. An administrative assistant for a state social-services contractor, Carey was laid off in July when her department was phased out. She got the bad news after returning from vacation and only two weeks after moving into a new home. "I've never been laid off before. I go to work when I'm sick. I go to work when I'm tired, so it's kind of hard for me, but I haven't broken," she said. "I'm trying to learn not to get up every morning at 5:45." Her daughter recently had to drop her classes at Tennessee State University because she's $3,000 short on her tuition and Carey couldn't get a loan to make up the difference. "It's really hard when you have a child that wants to go to school, but can't," she said.
