Obama’s job czar should be fired for lack of confidence

Contrary to those who see this title as assume that I am in the same league of all Obama-bashers, you could not be farter from the truth.  The truth is I love me some Obama and would defend him in any circumstance except for those decisions that I disagree with. 

I disagree with his choice to lead his council on jobs mainly because I think that the CEO of GE is a flawed leader.  Flawed because his company is reported to have made billions but did not pay their fair share in taxes to help this economy.  Flawed because according to Zachary Roth’s article for Yahoo News titled  With jobs czar under fire, new data confirm offshoring trend “three months later, after appointing him  and despite some positive signs, employment rates have barely budged, Americans are more pessimistic about the economy than they've been in a while--and Immelt is under fire amid news that GE reportedly paid no taxes this year.  The Wall Street Journal reports that during the last decade U.S. multinationals reduced their domestic workforce by 2.9 million, according to Commerce Department figures. During the same period, those same companies increased their overseas workforce by 2.4 million.” 

Being a CEO of a Fortune 500 company does not make one all knowledgeable in jobs or the creation of them, it only says that when it comes to making decisions which are in the best interest of his/her core group of supporters, and they are a force to be reckoned with.  We all know that the heads of industry are not the real reason that many succeed, it’s those who make the backbone of that industry which spells the difference between profits and loss.  Until Mr. Immelt has made good on the dodging of paying GE’s fair share and greatly increased the avenue to provide employment right here in the good old USA, I believe that he should be removed.  Removed not for lack of knowledge or ability but for lack of confidence to get the job done.  How long does it really take to look over already submitted business plans for dreamers of owning their own businesses, finding those that will make a difference in the unemployment numbers and giving them the backing necessary to get that start-up and expansion capital?

Movie Review-Harlan Coben's Shelter

  The movie Shelter is based on the bestselling series by Harlan Coben, it follows the story of Mickey Bolitar (Jaden Michael) after the death of his father leads him to start a new life in suburban New Jersey. When another new student disappears, Mickey finds himself tangled in a web of secrets. With the help of two new friends, Spoon (Adrian Greensmith) and Ema (Abigale Corrigan), they reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances. Keeping me totally engrossed from the first episode to the last was not really the storyline or the actions and dramas, it was how awesomely those actors and actresses played their roles.   It seemed so effortless, watching them, that it was easy to forget it was a movie/series. I could not control my anxiousness to start the next episode.   Not many movies can make me feel the same emotions that the players were supposed to feeling but man, this was one and that journey this series took me on was one that...

The Truth about Malcolm X’s Murder Begins and Ends with Louis Farrakhan

What made Malcolm Little stand out from all those born during his era went far beyond intelligence to a point of realism.  History tells us that as a young child, he was subjected to his “Lansing Michigan home being burned to the ground” and the body of his father, Earl, being found “lying across the town’s trolley tracks”.  Both of these incidents were reported by the police as accidents even though there were evidence that the white supremacist organization Black Legion could have been behind this.  He was also subjected to his mother losing her mind, having to be institutionalized and all eight children, including himself” split up amongst various foster homes and orphanages”.   This education and the education of the streets allowed him the opportunity to reexamine his life and the direction it was going while he spent months and even years behind bars for the crimes he committed during his youth.  He finally decided to dedicate his life to a higher cal...

A Tree shall be Known by the Fruit that it Bears

  I find it quite humorous when I hear people claiming to be one thing or another.   Claiming to be a republican, a Democrat, or an Independent but the thing that seriously bothers me when people claim the title of Christian and yet act like a total hypocrite. Hypocrisy is defined as “the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense” and if we are to be honest with ourselves and those around us, not one person can ever claim to not have claimed to be one thing while their actions depict something else.   I don’t think that any one mortal can ever claim that they have not fallen into this trip at least one time or another in their lives.   Because we are human, and accidents happen, it is okay to admit that we have faults and work to fix them instead of covering them up but of course many of us will go to our earthly graves pretending that this has not or currently happened to them. Hence the title of...
