Obama and The Bullshit of Gas Prices

Billboard above Hillsborough Avenue across Hard Rock
Hotel - Tampa Bay, Fl.

Tampa, Fl -- It's time to talk clear about gas prices as they are since 2008 and up today, the first thing you need to remember in 2008 gas prices where more than 4.00 p/g (I will never forget that because I move to the States on 2008 and I lived in Tampa and Miami.), the second thing you need to know it is to not buy all the bull-crap exposed by the SuperPacs as they will try to play with the true and all the information from the last 20 years it is encoded in the Consumers Report website and the website shows a total opposite from Obama's first day in office away from the lie that it is exposed in this billboard that I took on a photography early on the morning of 10/12/12 on Hillsborough Avenue across the street of the Hard Rock Hotel in Tampa; but, the third and last piece of information you need to know it is that probably much of the people who had drive around these sponsored billboards from Tea Party financed groups probably by now had swallowed the information as an ultimate truth because much of these people show the classical stereotype many Americans will hate to fit in as stereotype that will classify them as a group of slobs who don't read, who don't inform themselves, who only believe in what they see and only accept one truth as the ultimate truth and see everything that is not white, Protestant, conservator and what happens outside America as not their problem, as what people outside the States call the gringos.

Let's talk clear, gas prices are a focal point on this campaign but at the end even of who is elected president won't have the last word as the power of checks and balances is always present, and the House and Senate are the two power groups but if any of those groups are in tune with the elected president then that would be a major issue because there won't be a way of balance the powers and it will be the moment where the democracy will become an oligarchy which today with all the lobbyist we are one step ahead of dangling in some Communist elements as the real power is in the hands of a few corporations and not the people. The cost of gas in June 2008 was US$4.10 per gallon and the maximum average pear on the gas recession of 2008 was on US$4.11. By August the prices to US$3.47 and subsequently on an average of US$2.07. 

The price of the gas fluctuated and there comes the half truth of the billboard while it went on an average of $1.84 per gallon now here comes the tricky part where everything went on fluke and showed the dependency of Americans into fuel and not alternatives that wouldn't create a negative impact on the ecosystem. The first case comes with the Keystone XL pipeline which showed the vulnerability and negative impact of the fuels industry on the economy. The Keystone XL pipeline had a tram point that was especulated to pass by the Ogalla Aquifer in Nebraska which supplies the Midwest for drinking water and water for farming, the aquifer is a shallow body of water and vulnerable to any external abuse but the Republican Governor of Nebraska Dave Heineman worked to change the route of the pipeline. As of 2012 there are still major concern regarding the developing of the pipeline and even in a Red State as Texas there had been last minute from part environmentalist to stop the construction, albeit the regional government gave green light to project.

The pipeline so far had an estimated by the U.S. State Department that would create around 5,000 jobs; with an estimate of 1,400 temporal construction jobs made by a study of the Cornell University Global Labor Institute.  The second inconvenience happened with the BP oil spill which still fresh in the memory of people.

Yet the Obama administration is not innocent regarding oil exploration as what happened in 2010 following some old policies by the Bush administration the drilling had gone to some parts of Alaska, the Gulf of Mexico and the Mid-Atlantic and the policies will run up to the middle of 2013 and in a funny note the Super Pac who promoted the billboard that we showed at the beginning of the entry is playing with the hatred of some segments of the American population towards the Middle East and Islamophobia to incite emotions in potential voters that Mitt is the solution while the solution to lower the prices it is on the people inciting in a referendum that the Congress and the House will finally examine the privileges they are giving to companies such as BP, Exxon, Texaco and others as manipulating a segment of the economy that shouldn't go high for sur-factors but rather keep and stable price even in the worst crisis to keep the economy afloat. So I hope the middle American don't show the ignorance and get informed before believing anything because right now we the people are selling the country to a few individuals and corporations who are using it for their own benefits.

Operation Keep it Clean in Tampa Bay: No Fair Jobs for Hoes

2001 Odyssey Nude

Tampa, Fl -- The Republican National Convention is almost a reality in Tampa Bay and what it seems a fair move from the police to avoid any inconveniences that would put the Republican Party on a scandal map because of the shameful but well re-known sex tourism reputation that is in the city, the Tampa Police Department has being raiding strip clubs in undercover operatives to also break down any prostitution rings around the city to prevent any negative reactions and press to the city in the dawn of the convention.

Police arrested 16 women , between the ages of 18 and 61 for offering companion services to undercover agents. Undercover agents went to 12 strips clubs in Tampa in search of human trafficking and prostitution rings that involved minors. The police department has information regarding prostitutes coming outside the state in order to work during the convention, which on a similar note the information don't come necessarily from informants as the strip clubs are promoting outside their premises on billboards that adult stars are coming to town on the convention week to explicit salute the politicians.

Tampa Police Department will continue to monitor adult establishments before and after the convention. Assistant chief of Tampa Police Department John Newman said "the operation will serve a dual purpose; one to enforce those folks that aren't following the rules; two is to set the tone out there that we have a standard, we have laws in place that address these types of crimes, and we are going to enforce them." The questions are for the Police Department, why not to enforce these laws regarding prostitution all year long.? Instead of enforcing them when there is a public even and making a fuss in the newspapers that the police is there taking notice on what is happening instead of following reckless drivers.?

The attention will be there as soon a scandal explodes, because the media will be following the key figures everywhere and the political players have to be aware of that but as many people realize that these conservators who preach perfection are the ones that are going to commit the first sin and the media will be there to expose them.

An American Psycho: Paul Ryan

Paul & Barack

Not all the psychos are similar to Alfred Hitchcock or Bret Easton Ellis, or as the archetypal I am going to kill you with a gun guy; the people that have the power and unlimited amount of resources are probably thrice dangerous than any maniac with guns. The way Paul Ryan can be seen is similar as the main character in the novel American Psycho Patrick Bateman. Both individuals are antithesis of antiheroes, two men who enjoy the power they have to gain personal benefit even if it inflicts pain on other people.

The problem of Mitt Romney keeps focusing on his terrible decisions which shows the future America is going to take if he takes possession along with Paul Ryan of the White House which will give an indefinite amount of power to these two men as the main branches of power are mainly Republican, and they focus on their politics to outsource the jobs and sink the country in a deficit that it will be difficult to the surface out again; but the biggest problem are the ignorant segments of the middle class which believe the demagogy of Mitt Romney and see Obama as the source of the problem we are facing today while the source can be traced to the George W. Busch era and even beyond that point where Ronald Reagan focused on keeping the rich rich.

The problem are the ignorant's who thinks they know everything but at the end are the victims supporting their bullies to reach the powers because they are focused to believe in the lies that they can not see what problems lay beyond their porches. Some people described as Paul Ryan as a fiscal conservator but in reality he is just a shadow of Mitt Romney, someone who only can see money to put in their pockets or to backup conglomerates. He voted for the Medicare Part D that in essence costed more than the Obama health reform, and voters are even ignoring the Part D because an average American really don't read anything regarding health or actual events because the blind trust they have on the people of power. Maybe that's the problem that this psycho could get elected along with Romney because the middle class enjoy having other people to make decisions for them.

A man has no rights to make decisions on a woman's body, yet as Patrick Bateman he enjoys dominating every single decision on a woman's body as the original psycho did with Christie before he killed her and that's Ryan, just another psycho who thinks women has no right over their bodies as he stated on his 1998 campaign to prosecute women who undergo abortions. So, probably it's better to analyze the scenarios where is OK to bring a child to world where he is going to suffer and eventually be abandoned by the Republican party instead of planning their maternal futures, or what in the case of a rape.? A woman has her right to decide if she wants keep the child, abort it or place it for adoption. Is unfair on many levels that a man as Ryan wants to control females through his political reign along with Romney, we are in the 21st Century yet according to the Republican Party, women are just mere property items.

Log Cabin Republicans who vote for Romney and thus Ryan have to think twice because there is no sacrifice good enough only a stupidity to vote for these two buffoons as they plan to create a constitutional ban on marriage equality as well to put back every single achievement of the community back before Stonewall where it is OK to discriminate against LGTBQ individuals.

Maybe the current political trade can be focused on the continent trends where the Tea Party can be associated with Chavistas and Sandinistas movements that are focused on populism, where charismatic yet wealthy leaders convince the voters to vote for them in order to satisfy their economic interest. The problem again can be traced in the voters not the independent but the ones who can't make a good decisions because at the end maybe we the people we will listen to a monologue from Romney and Ryan regarding that they didn't care what they did but they are proud anyway.

Obama Support Gay Marriage and Abortion

Republican Billboard at 6202 North Dale Mabry Highway Tampa, FL 33614

This billboard is only 1.5 miles away from my house, coming from work it got my attention because I thought I probably misread it,but what the caption says also the small prints are - OBAMA SUPPORTS GAY MARRIAGE & ABORTION (DO YOU) - VOTE REPUBLICAN - PAID BY THE REPUBLICAN UNION PAC, NOT AUTHORIZED BY ANY CANDIDATE OR CANDIDATE'S COMMITTEE www.RepublicanUnionPac.com

I got amazed and probably I passed three four times before having the chance of taking a photo of the billboard which is located 6202 North Dale Mabry Highway Tampa, FL 33614, if this is free expression then I can say that free expression is a bunch of non nonsensical words that people associate with being bullies, I can say I am not voting for the Republican Party in my life because people who ridicule women rights and civil rights they don't deserve the respect of any person on the face of the Earth because we as a collective we'd advanced a lot since the segregation days and since the Stonewall riots.

Immigration - Latinos, The Hidden Majority in Red States. -

http://www.glittarazzi.com Latinos x Obama

(Tampa, Fl) -- There is a moment when a minority becomes one of the majority power groups in a country and it  can make the status-quo to tremble down. Immigration has played an important part in the economical and social development of the country to the point that deny the possibility to someone who is running away from the place he or she was born because any external causes it's unconstitutional as many people who are immigrants are the ones who go out and fight for their new homes. Latinos after the big exodus of the 60's and the 70's after the rise of the populist guerrillas in the different south and central american countries fled on their majority to North America and Canada in search of a new hope, the hope of freedom of expression.

The immigration reform can become a pivotal move into Obama getting reelected for a second term on the states that are well known for their wide different ethnic groups that are trying to find a legal way to stay in the country they call home; but, also the reform is going to give the people Obama is trying to convince to vote for him the power of the vote for upcoming elections in November and that doesn't mean they are going to vote for him but the tactic of formalizing the immigration status of thousand of people has generated a positive boost on the sectors he left behind since his second year. Hispanics were a pivotal sector in key states such as Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, North Carolina, Florida and Virginia in the 2008 elections, having a 2/3 of the Hispanic votes according to the exit polls.

According to a poll conducted on the  17 - 30, June of 2012 week by the Quinnipiac University showed that Obama's support in Florida went up sharply but there are still different sectors divided regarding about job creations as well performance with the economy. According to the poll in Florida voters say that Romney would do a better job with the economy on a 48:44 there is a schism on the decision as 49:44 that Obama would veil the economical interest of middle class.

Probably the reform on immigration can sharp the interest of the Hispanic population as it's been on the decline since the last election four years ago, according to a recent poll held by NBC News and the Wall-Street Journal which place a margin on a 57% over a 5.7% point margin of error.

While Romney's campaign hasn't done anything clear to clarify their position on immigration laws after the former Governor had a complete fiasco on his home State of Massachusetts, there's been a national debate regarding what are the policies of the former Governor if he is going to though the immigration laws for worse or he is going to lose them up if he gets elected to gain more adepts as well to boost the economy. Probably if we follow his last trends on immigration policies up to the Arizona Law, we can see a man who slowly is digging his own grave by blaming his own mistakes on Mr. Obama.

There is another point regarding Romney's speech against his contender, it is true Obama was extremely passive regarding many social issues on the last three years as well the double digit unemployment around the Latino population, but there is no doubt the strategic plan of Romney is being condemn to a failure because he is creating an oxymoron in desperation of his failed politics when he was a governor. Now he supports the idea of unifying family to not separate family units; to give green cards to military service as well green cards for those who are earning advance degrees in the United States; it is amazing how a man can contradict himself in order to win even if he has to betray his own beliefs.

Latino's can become a decisive point in the upcoming elections if they any of the candidates knows how to play their cards but right now at the moment even if the Latino population show an interest toward Obama over Romney, they still remain a low-turnout group.

Politics and an Indecisive Set of Voters

PlanetWire Photo of Capitol

This is the first time that I am not posting an specific photo or placing an specific example about any of the candidates but it make think even if I had lived in two different countries, I see the same example an indecisive set of people who only see the party and not really what the candidates have to offer or as my father say a bunch of fools who swallow the first lies the candidates say because they have no fucking (jodida) idea about the development of the country. Yes my father speaks Spanish, and he is right on that one, people have no clue about the country well being because they don't read and they only vote for the candidate because the candidates project their hopes and dreams but at the end the candidates are only there to try to steal as much as they can without thinking about any major social progress.

That's the point any candidate will take advantage the ignorance of the people and their passion for their own parties, even if the parties don't represent the actual reality. Remembering my days in Cartagena, I can say ignorance is a bliss because through the use of demagogy they conquered the population, beside that the use of propaganda also played a definite factor in their winning because people associated the acquisitive power of the candidate as a good sign, let's face it politics at the end are a popularity contest to convince the stupidest and I am not talking exclusive about Cartagena, I am talking about the South of the United States where politics play another dirty card appealing through the feelings using religion, because if the voters see the candidates reflect their religious values they can bet safe with a vote, and people will speak about them.

The common majority of the South is Baptist, no secret on that, while the most common majority of the North are Catholic, but one point regarding religion it is if you are a candidate and you are not from the common majority that can backfired because let's face it, American's aren't open to people who think way too different from them, even if we have an Afro President, there are still controversies because the ignorance of the voters can play a major point at the moment of nourishing the propaganda.

So yes, think and know what is happening with your country before even going to vote even in blank, just vote, don't abstain because otherwise the worst candidate can get chosen and then there is no reason to keep calling the name Democracy because we don't exercise the right to vote.
