Hey everyone,
As you may have noticed all the posts have been all at the same time lately. The reason is because I use Posterous’s Post-By-Email function. Unfortuantly it hasn’t been working right lately. Also with the upcoming internet radio station I need more flexibility then Posterous offers.

Hope see you there soon!
Americans divide essentially evenly in their responses to President Obama’s new position on gay marriage, with views more strongly negative than positive and stark divisions across political, ideological and other groups – including a broad gender gap.

My Take:
What everyone needs to do is pull back and look at what the people of the individual states want and let it go. If you don’t like one state’s policy there are states that have what you want. This is not a national election issue, its a state issue.
Foreigners increased purchases of long-dated U.S. securities, including government bonds, in March, the U.S. Treasury said on Tuesday, but lightened up on short-term assets such as bills.
Overseas investors bought a net $36.19 billion in long-term assets in March, above February’s inflow of $10.14 billion. They increased Treasury holdings by $20.47 billion after buying a net $15.35 billion the prior month.

President Barack Obama says it is “hard to say” whether his new stance supporting same sex marriage will hurt his re-election. He says there’s a major difference between himself and Republican challenger Mitt Romney on the issue, but says the economy will ultimately determine the outcome of the election.

My Take:
Obama was hoping to use all this enercy that has built up to use against the Republican at thier convention. Biden blow that for him and the backlash from his own people now have him turning tale and running back to trying to attack Romney.
His new message is ‘Romney took bloated companies laid people off to make them profitable.’ That could be translated to ‘now matter how ineffecient the government gets I want to keep it the way it is and maybe throw more government at it some how make it more effecient?’
Former GOP front-runners Herman Cain and Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) will meet with the leaders from three of the largest tea party groups in Washington on Wednesday to discuss the American economy and the upcoming 2012 elections.
Billed as “A More Perfect Union Panel,” the meeting will include leaders from TeaParty.net, Tea Party Nation and Tea Party Patriots. Tea party groups played a key role in the 2010 elections and are hoping to hold on to several seats that could be in jeopardy in 2012.

My Take:
This nothing more then an attempt to try to take over the Tea Party and bring them in the Republican party. People, vote your heart not for a party.
On Tuesday afternoon, Megyn Kelly‘s panel took a look at the commencement speech President Barack Obama gave at Barnard College on Monday. In it, Obama took a critical look at the media and its sensationalism. The panel noted this jab, and wondered if it had anything to do with unfavorable media coverage the president has received.

New York City police officer Devon Daniels has been arrested for regularly abusing his power to help out Guy Curtis, a convicted drug dealer who led the heroin-trafficking ring Pov City. According to wiretaps conducted by the DEA, Curtis went to Officer Daniels with questions like how to get “gunshot residue off your hands” and where to find “any working revolver.” The cop is also accused of running license-plate checks for Curtis, tipping law enforcement intel on arrests, and providing him a parking placard. Daniels has been suspended without pay, and stands charged with misdemeanors for illegally using NYPD databases.

Last week, Barack Obama finished “evolving” on same-sex marriage with his statement endorsing legalization. Entirely coincidentally, that was just in time for a big Hollywood fundraiser at George Clooney’s mansion that raised $15 million for Team Obama’s coffers after reports of anger in the entertainment industry began to percolate in the media. Two-time Pulitzer Prize winning editorial cartoonist Michael Ramirez captures the essence of Obama’s flip-flop on gay marriage for Investors Business Daily.

Unlike the Internet tech bubble before it, the irrational exuberance of social media, which may just reach its climax with the Facebook IPO, has kept its money pretty contained. When the dot-coms had their moment, we saw that money go everywhere. From hiring to lavish ad spending to just generally lavish lifestyles, the dot com bubble spilled beyond the techie world. This time around, however, our social media bubble has kept its money close. For right now, that seems pretty selfish. But when it all goes pop, it might not hurt so much.
