All of us Positive Mental Attitude - PMA - aficionados - believers - "freaks" have heard the mantra of turning life's Lemons into Lemonade...
We also believe Entrepreneur's "Find a need and fill it"...
"Ask 'em what they want...& Give it to them..."
“We stand at the dawn of a new era. Before us is the most important decade in the history of civilization” - so wrote John Naisbitt and Patricia Aburdene in the introduction to their classic work “Megatrends 2000”...
A decade later that may be even more prophetic...
I'm a big fan of "trends"...
Here's where I'm going with this...
Depending on who wins the next Presidential election I suggest that Many job creating - Entrepreneurial Americans - will move out of the state they reside in or the US or at least consider it...
The Upper Middle Income with Young Family Demographic
This demographic - want their kids to be raised in a Christian friendly - Self Sufficient - Small Government environment ....
These families are very concerned about the obvious move towards Socialism and Government Dependency and higher taxes and out-of-control Federal Spending that will burden their children with crushing amounts of debt....
You can consider my family as an example...
We are seriously exploring - doing our homework by looking at Costa Rica - Ecuador - Australia - Panama - New Zealand...
So if we did decide to move to another country we will need the following types of products and services...
Sell our Home
Sell our personal possessions
Obtain International Health Insurance
Obtain Tax Services
Get new Telephone Services
Get Educational Services for our kids
Many other services...
Do your homework - this is a Real Opportunity - the "prospects" are the 5 to 10 percent of Americans who realize they will be punished for being Entrepreneurial in a 2nd President Obama administration term...
These folks have HAD it - they are your "Lemons" - help them on their way... and keep in touch - someday you may need an exit strategy too...
Change is good - if you embrace it - To your great Success..

2016 The Movie - my review
Dinesh D'Souza is an Indian American conservative political commentator, public intellectual and author who is currently the President of The King's College in New York City...
He is about the same age as President Obama - but Mr D'Souza took a very different path - politically - than Barack Obama since he moved to the USA ...
Gerald Molen - who co-produced the movie Schindler's List - produced the movie 2016
I watched 2016 a couple weeks ago - looking for answers about the President I felt cautiously optimistic about 4 years ago...
No I didn't vote for President Obama 4 years ago and I was pretty concerned beforehand about his intentions regarding health care but I hoped that he would make an effort to bring the parties together and make some tough financial decisions.
But I digress - back to the movie
After 90 minutes I left feeling both sad for Barack Obama the person and disappointed that the mainstream media had SOOO not reported anything about his youth and had even gone further to distort his childhood as being something it was not.
Here is what I came away with...
Barack Obama lived a childhood of privilege. Private schools - affluent family. Not what you are still being led to believe. Even at the most recent Democratic Convention Barack Obama was portrayed as growing up disadvantaged...
That's a lie
He is staunchly "anti colonial" - unlike his younger brother George - whom he has nothing to do with. That attitude explains much about our President - like why he returned the bust of Winston Churchill - shortly after he took office.
President Obama grew up with really bad male role models and a mother who apparently dictated to her husbands how Barack would be raised...
His mother Ann Dunham was talked about in the movie briefly. The impression was that she clearly made the family decisions with both his father Barack Obama Sr and his second father - Lolo Soetoro who drew her ire when he - Soetoro - moved towards Capitalism while he - Barack and Ann were living in Indonesia. So...
Young Barack was sent back to Hawaii to live with his grandparents. Almost immediately he was "mentored" in his teenage years by radical Frank Davis Marshall . It's interesting in the Wikipedia post on him you won't find mention of his mentoring duties. But the Telegraph - United Kingdom media did in August 2008.
Then as a young adult he was "handed off" to the Chicago Political Machine... radical terrorists like Bill Ayres became his next mentors from the age of 18 (ish) to the time he...
Became a Senator...
Became the President of the United States of America
Mr Obama will go down in history as the first "black" US President - even though his white mother controlled his entire youth - & that's fine - color is not an issue with most Americans but....
Watching that movie I felt sad for him personally. I thought he should be - in therapy - not President of the United States.
I hope that the press hid all of this information from us because they so desperately loved the idea of having a first Black President - I hope.
If you have time to go see it on the big screen I encourage you do it Now - before you vote
Amazon also has it - 2016 Obama's America - watch it with as many of your friends as you can - I think you'll end up wondering how we elected him in the first place - seriously
That's my opinion

Unemployment - the Spin cometh
The unemployment report was released a few hours ago
With an election 30 days out and early voting already starting the Democratic Party machine is going all out to spin todays' announced reduction in unemployment as proof that the Obama Administration is doing well.
I don't think so...
43 months of President Obama's term we have had more than 8 percent unemployment - nearly his whole term - You can find the chart on the US Government Bureau of Labor Statistics site
In contrast we have had 39 months above 8 percent between 1948 and 2008 under 11 different Presidents. 1948 was the year we began keeping track of unemployment in the USA
That's correct 11 Presidents versus this President covering 724 months with 39 months of high unemployment everyone before Obama - 43 months of high unemployment out of 44 months of Obama
Now in Obama month 44 - the rate drops to 7.8 percent. My guess is - if it hasn't already happened - one of the left wing Obama campaign affiliates - ABC - NBC - CBS - CNN will take the the 2/10ths "reduction" and run a headline that says "Unemployment drops Two and a half Percent"
Would that be a lie? Yes & No
Mathematically 2/10ths is 2.5% of 8
But it's a LOT worse than the spin tells you
Because more people join the working age population each month the economy needs to add about 180,000 jobs a month just to keep up with population growth - that's only happened 11 months out of the 44 months under this administration and many of those jobs during the 11 months were "stimulus" temporary jobs - like Solyndra and other failed "Green Jobs" & that borrowed money has been added to our children's "IOU"
And it's worse than that...
We don't count people as "unemployed" if they have become so discouraged that they don't look for work anymore - - which means the real unemployment in the USA is about 5.5 million more people than we report - around 3 percent more - an 11% rate
And it's worse than that... If you are Hispanic the unemployment rates is 10.2 % Black 14.1 % or between the ages of 16 and 19 a whopping 24.6%
And it's worse than that...
Social Security has a disability program which without any significant reporting is inexplicably at an all time high.
More Americans are getting a disability check since President Obama took office. Social Security Disability Recipients have soared under the Obama Administration from 7,427,000 to 8,767,000
That increase of a million 300 thousand people are NOT COUNTED as unemployed - and - If YOU are employed and paying taxes YOU get to pay their checks too...
It's easy to distort "Facts"
Here's a shameless example - just in case you are actually buying into the rhetoric coming from the Administration and still don't get my point...
If 100 people are working in month #1 but only 90 people in month #2 you would say unemployment increased by 10%
If in month #3 you have 92 people working you CAN SAY unemployment dropped about 2% - but you still have 8 people without jobs that used to have them...
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand reality. Everybody knows friends - family - relatives - kids - grandkids that are unemployed and/or underemployed that were NOT in that position before the last election
We can't afford this administration anymore - like a friend of mine says - we need a Workhorse in the White House - not a Showhorse
