Does Barack Obama owe the City of Detroit a bailout? One city councilwoman seems to think so. Via MyFoxDetroit : The city of Detroit faces a major financial crisis and one member of city council thinks President Barack Obama should step in and help. City Council member JoAnn Watson said Tuesday the citizens support of Obama in last month’s election was enough reason for the president to bailout the struggling the city. “Our people in an overwhelming way supported the re-election of this president and there ought to be a quid pro quo and you ought to exercise leadership on that,” said Watson. “Of course, not just that, but why not?” Nearly 75 percent of Wayne County voters pulled the lever for Obama in November. “After the election of Jimmy Carter, the honorable Coleman Alexander Young, he went to Washington, D.C. He came home with some bacon,” said Watson. “That’s what you do.” Young served as Detroit’s mayor for 20 years and served as vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 1977 to 1981. The White House has expressed no plans to bailout the cash-crunched city that some experts say could run out of money by the end of the year. The federal government has bailed out cities in the past, however. In 1975, President Gerald Ford extended more than $2 billion in credit to New York City to help it avoid a financial collapse. What do you think President Obama should do? If he bails out Detroit, where does it end?

The Texas secession petition has inspired one man, Larry Scott Kilgore, to change his middle name to “SECEDE” … yes, all caps. Meet Larry SECEDE Kilgore. The former Larry Scott Kilgore, a long-standing Republican candidate from Arlington, Tex., also revealed that he will run for governor of Texas in 2014. That’s probably the case whether Texas’ secession plans succeed or not, we’re guessing. Kilgore’s official site sums up the wannabe governor’s views on breaking away from the U.S. , with the header reading: “Secession! All other issues can be dealt with later.” If that’s not a profound political platform worth rallying behind, we don’t know what is. Kilgore’s name change comes after an online petition calling for Texas to secede from the United States surpassed 100,000 signatures earlier this month. The White House is obliged to respond to any petition that tops 25,000 signatures. The Texas secession movement began shortly after the re-election of President Barack Obama over Republican hopeful Mitt Romney on November 6. Since the original Texas secession petition launched, Republican supporters from every other state have signed petitions asking for their states to secede. However, everything is bigger in Texas, and that includes the bid for secession. The New York Times reveals that sales of bumper stickers reading “Secede” ($2, or 3/$5) have increased dramatically at TexasSecede (dot) com. The White House is expected to respond to the Texas secession bid soon.

WASHINGTON — Obama for America began a nationwide television ad campaign Wednesday afternoon that was telling both for the places it will air and for what it says about the re-election team’s worries. The spot, titled “Unprecedented,” highlights the president’s championing of clean energy despite attacks from “secret oil billionaires” who “fact-checkers say are not tethered to the facts.” Read More… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : The Huffington Post Discovery Date : 19/01/2012 00:50 Number of articles : 2
