Clint Eastwood Obama Fan? Nope.

Clint Eastwood an Obama fan? Nope! The actor turned director has came out and said that Obama "seems like a nice guy" but that he's "not a fan." He went on to add that Obama was doing what he needed to do to stay in his job, but that he isn't governing.


Eastwood backed McCain during the 2008 Presidential election, although he's not a right winger. Clint Eastwood in the past has also backed Democrats, including Gary Davis who ran against Arnold Schwarzenegger in the California Gubernatorial race.


Other stars that don't support Obama include Kelsey Grammer who recently launched RightNetwork and Jon Voigt who speaks at Tea Party Rallies. However, for the most part Hollywood is very liberal. There are actually many more left wing activists than there are right wing when it comes to that industry.


What do you think about Clint Eastwood's comments about not being a fan of President Obama?

Obama Campaigns for Minnesota Democrats

President Obama ended a four day campaign swing today, campaigning for Minnesota Democratic Gubernatorial candidate Mark Dayton. Obama, former President Bill Clinton, as well as Sarah Palin have been three big names that have been campaigning ten days before the mid-term elections.

Sarah Palin called this the "election of our lifetime", although that term might come in to play again in 2012 should she decide to run. However, with the nation in the shape it's in right now, change has to be made.

Obama thinks that the democrats can make that change, and wants some more time to get the change that he promised during his campaign. According to Obama, a GOP lead in the government would undo all the 'progress' that has been made.

Below see a video of President Obama campaigning for the Minnesota Democrats.

Social Security Cost of Living Increase 2011? Don't Count on It!

Social Security cost of living increase 2011? Don't count on it. Social Security recipients typically enjoy a modest annual increase in their benefits due to the increase in cost of living from year to year. Because of laws enacted in the past, benefits will never go down should cost of living go down.

The increases are typically modest - only a few per cent. However, it costs the government billions each and every year.

The Associated Press reports that an official announcement is supposed to be made by the Social Security administration this week which indicates that no COLA will be made this year - only the second time ever since inflation adjustments were made. The first? Last year.

This could be a blow to Democrats during the 2010 mid-term elections. At least 12 Senate Democrats voted along with the GOP earlier this year to fail to pass a provision that would have allowed a bonus payment of Social Security this year to make up for the lack of COLA adjustments..

Not only wasn't that passed, but the hopes of Social Security cost of living increase 2011 are slim, if not unexistant.

One Nation Rally Brings Unions, 99ers, and Tea Party Haters Together

Today the One Nation Working Together Rally will bring together hundreds of liberal groups in hope of inspiring Americans to head to the polls on November 2nd.  The One Nation rally is, in a sense, a counter to Glenn Beck's Rally to Restore America.  The rally takes place before Stewart and Colbert's dueling rallies, which are slated for tonight.

Some criticize the rally because it is staged AFTER congress has already left to go home and there's nothing that can be done before the mid-term elections.  However, there's a lot of hope that those running for office will see what is important to Americans and keep that in mind.  It will be interesting to see if the rally will impact nay campaign promises from both the Democratic an GOP sides. 


The GOP's main focus is passing the Bush tax cuts.  If they expire, it's going to amount to one of the largest tax hikes in our modern day.  Still, there's a lot of partisan push and pull - with the Democrats chastising the Republicans for wanting to cut taxes, while the Republicans are chastising the Democrats for the stimulus spending. 


The One Nation rally will continue today with hundreds of liberal groups joining forces to try to make changes. We'll keep you informed.

Jon Stewart Rally Update Obama Endorses Colbert/Stewart Rallies Video

Jon Stewart’s “Restoring Sanity” rally is getting props from Obama. The Colbert/Stewart dueling rallies are held as an “answer” to the Glenn Beck rally that was held at the end of August. Although this isn’t an official political event (it’s hosted by 2 comedy central comedians, mind you) it’s definitely making waves in the political world.

Ironically, some liberals are against the rally as it will take people who would have otherwise hit the pavement getting the word out there to head to the polls and vote liberal during the weekend prior to the mid-term elections. However, the rally is expected to draw a great crowd and many are hoping that the comedians will mix entertainment with common-sense solutions.

In remarks about the media during a discussion about the economy in Richmond today, Obama slams both right and left wing media – the right for suggesting he wasn’t born in the US and the left for saying mean and nasty things about the right. However, he says he’s “amused” with the Jon Stewart/Colbert Rallies. He pointed out that 70 per cent of Americans are just looking out for their families, no matter what their political affiliations are. Below is a video of Obama speaking about the Jon Stewart Rally.
