Too early, but what I'd love to see Herman Cain win the nomination. Barry couldn't play the race card, plus it would be a huge problem for Obama, blacks with a brain would be like f*ck this fraud BO.
http://zogby.com/news/2011/09/26…A true conservative, dare I say economically conservative!?! On top of the fact that all this talk about every conservative and tea party member being a racist. I'd love to see Cain get the nomination. A tried and true African-American, not a johnny-come-lately, barely legal, just off the Kenyan boat stiff.

Spain: Parliament Dissolved
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/2…Spain dissolved Parliament on Monday and an early general election was formally scheduled for Nov. 20, with polls predicting that the governing Socialists would lose by a wide margin. The popularity of Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, who announced last year that he would not seek a third term, has plunged as the unemployment rate soared to about 21 percent, the highest in the developed world. The Socialist government has been forced to adopt unpopular austerity measures to rein in Spain’s public deficit and calm market fears that the country may need a financial bailout. If the election were to take place now, the conservative opposition Popular Party would capture an absolute majority in Parliament, according to a poll published Monday in the Catalan daily El Periódico.

Worth a post in this thread too...!
21%, fucking 21%, are you fucking kidding me... Spain, you're in trouble.
- They're in even worse trouble if they bring in a right wing government.mikotondria3
- if you say so... can't get much worse than 21%. I believe their definition of conservative versus USA's is much different********
- that's what happens when you hire Goldman Sachs to help you with your financial planning...zarkonite
- but seriously, they have a massive spending problem with too many entitlement programs.zarkonite
- build all country's industry on tourist services, when financial crisis comes, watch it collapse-- free market economics hehedrgs
- Socialism, out of control from the looks of it. Wow, 21%, that's just crazy.********

If he was a real candidate for your closet racist ass he'd be a "tried and true American" and not a "tried and true African-American".
Nice try though.

Look, there is a worldwide anti-government sentiment right now thanks to the shitty ass raping of worldwide finance by the global banker class. All the incumbent governments will mostly be turned over - if you're in a country with a conservative government the lefties will win, if you live in a country with some socialists in charge the conservatives will be voted in - this is in now way to be construed by those with half a brain as some sort of endorsement of either forms of governing, just that there's a general feeling of "through the bums out" regardless of who the bums are.
But you go ahead and run with it popfodders. You know you get to type "socialists!!!!! HAHAHA!!" with a lot of exclamation points, capital letters and shit. You know the stuff that gets your dick hard.

"Whether we end up doing a postmortem on the Obama presidency in 2012 or 2016, the diagnosis will be identical barring a dramatic and unforeseen change in governing style in a potential second term. Rather than bickering about individual decisions he has made or his ideological tendencies, I think the biggest single factor in his current low standing with the American public stems from his baffling but complete lack of passion. As people like George W. Bush or Bill Clinton understood, the presidency is about that nebulous concept of "leadership." Leadership is an emotional quality, an ability to inspire confidence in people and make them want to follow you. It's the ability to make people turn to you in a crisis and trust that you will have things under control. You have to project confidence, competence, and vision. What Obama has most clearly failed to do, for lack of a better term, is to show some fight. To have a core principle other than "compromise is good."

NGO report: 93,000 Copts left Egypt since March
http://www.almasryalyoum.com/en/…Nearly 93,000 Coptic Christians have left Egypt since 19 March, a report by an Egypt-based Coptic NGO has said.
The number may increase to 250,000 by the end of 2011, according to Naguib Gabriel, the head of the Egyptian Federation of Human Rights, which released the report.
The current trend of Coptic immigration endangers the structure of Egypt's population, Gabriel told Al-Masry Al-Youm on Sunday. He urged the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) and the Egyptian cabinet to work on curbing the phenomenon.
Gabriel based the data stated in the report on information from Coptic churches and communities abroad.
"Nearly 16,000 migrated to California, while 10,000 moved to New Jersey, 8000 to New York, and 8000 to other American states," according to Gabriel. "Around 14,000 left to Australia, 17,000 to Canada, and 20,000 settled in the Netherlands, Italy, England, Austria, Germany and France."
Gabriel attributed the Coptic emigration to hardline Salafi groups seeking to apply Islamic law, deny Copts senior government posts, and reduce incoming tourism. He also blamed attacks on Coptic churches and the government's failure to bring attackers to justice.

"21%, fucking 21%, are you fucking kidding me... Spain, you're in trouble."
Look at your own country: http://bls.gov/news.release/yout…
"The number of unemployed youth in July 2011 was 4.1 million, down from 4.4 million a year ago. The youth unemployment rate declined by 1.0 percentage point over the year to 18.1 percent in July 2011, after hitting a record high for July in 2010. Among major demographic groups, unemployment rates were lower than a year earlier for young men (18.3 percent) and Asians (15.3 percent), while jobless rates were little changed for young women (17.8 percent), whites (15.9 percent), blacks (31.0 percent), and Hispanics
(20.1 percent)."You're a fool if you think the US is doing any better than Europe.

Energy Department approves $1 billion in solar energy loan guarantees
http://thehill.com/blogs/e2-wire…The Energy Department announced Wednesday that is has finalized more than $1 billion in loan guarantees for two separate solar energy projects.
The decision comes several weeks after Solyndra, a California-based solar manufacturer that received a $535 million loan guarantee from the Obama administration in 2009, filed for bankruptcy and laid off 1,100 workers, setting off a firestorm in Washington.
