On Dec. 17th Tom Vilsack was chosen as Obama’s nominee to be the next U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. Vilsack ran on the 2008 campaign for president and has ties to Monsanto.
Vilsack has repeatedly demonstrated a preference for large industrial farms and genetically modified crops, as Iowa state governor, he originated the seed pre-emption bill in 2005, effectively blocking local communities from regulating where genetically engineered crops would be grown; additionally, Vilsack was the founder and former chair of the Governor’s Biotechnology Partnership, and was named Governor of the Year by the Biotechnology Industry Organization, an industry lobbying group. Vilsack has also been known to travel in the Monsanto jet. Tom Vilsack wiki
I noticed much of my traffic is coming from sources looking for holiday items to buy this Christmas season. With some extra time to spare, I took the opportunity to gather a list of hot items this season. Rollover an item to see its name and description.
and as the last picture states, you can always buy gift-cards… I’d strongly advise Visa, MasterCard, and Amex Gift Cards only with the current state of the economy.

Factcheck.org and Politifact.com take issue with the assessment that McCain tries to portray Obama like other Democrats as “Tax and Spend Liberals,” pointing out that many of the McCain campaign’s claims about Obama’s tax initiatives are false or misleading.
In fact, even the conservative magazine National Review recently acknowledged that Obama’s plan offers more tax relief for middle class families than McCain’s. And even more recently Karl Rove and FoxNews themselves have caught on to McCains act.
Recent McCain campaign emails specifically target Obama’s tax plan for small businesses. The campaign has repeatedly claimed that Obama’s tax policies would raise taxes on 23 million small businesses, but, as Factcheck.org points out, that is simply not true. The Obama plan actually provides tax relief to small businesses in the form of a proposed capital gains tax exemption and tax credits to help cover the cost of employee health plans.
During a Juneinterview with the Wall Street Journal, Obama stated he will exempt start-up small businesses from capital gains taxes in order to encourage small business development, saying, “Companies that are starting off…should be allowed to accumulate
capital, reinvest profits, if there are any, to the point that they
stabilize.”
