Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney says he likes parts of ‘Obamacare’
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, who promised early in his campaign to repeal President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, says he would keep several important parts of the overhaul.
“Of course there are a number of things that I like in health care reform that I’m going to put in place,” he said in an interview broadcast Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “One is to make sure that those with pre-existing conditions can get coverage.”
Romney also said he would allow young adults to keep their coverage under their parents’ health-insurance.
Those provisions have been two of the more popular parts of Obama’s Affordable Care Act.
“I say we’re going to replace Obamacare. And I’m replacing it with my own plan,” Romney said. “And even in Massachusetts when I was governor, our plan there deals with pre-existing conditions and with young people.”
In the interview, Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, also said he would offset his proposed tax cuts by closing loopholes for high income taxpayers.
“We’re not going to have high-income people pay less of the tax burden than they pay today. That’s not what’s going to happen,” he said.
When pressed, however, Romney declined to provide an example of a loophole he would close.
“I can tell you that people at the high end, high-income taxpayers, are going to have fewer deductions and exemptions. Those numbers are going to come down. Otherwise they’d get a tax break. And I want to make sure people understand, despite what the Democrats said at their convention, I am not reducing taxes on high-income taxpayers,” Romney said.
Romney also defended his decision to say nothing about the war in Afghanistan or the U.S. troops serving there during his acceptance speech last month at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla.
He said that he’d been to Afghanistan and the troops “know of my commitment.”
“I have some differences on policy with the president. I happen to think those are more important than what word I mention in each speech,” he said.

President Barack Obama ~ DNC Speech Video: ‘Path forward won’t be quick or easy’
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Preaching patience, President Barack Obama is telling voters at the Democratic National Convention that solving many of the nation’s toughest challenges will take a few years.
Obama says that Republicans are calling for tax cuts to solve every problem. While he supported breaks for the middle class, he says he doesn’t believe tax cuts for the wealthy would generate jobs or pay down the deficit.
Obama say job gains in the manufacturing sector over the last two years have reversed a decade of declines. He says the nation needs to invest in job training and education because it’s the gateway to a middle-class life.
On foreign policy, Obama accused Republican challenger Mitt Romney of wanting to take the nation back to what he called an era of blustering and blundering.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP’s earlier story is below.
For President Barack Obama, hope has become hang in there.
On the biggest stage of his re-election bid, Obama is dropping some tough love on voters, offering no fast solutions for a nation whose spirit has been sapped by economic insecurity.
“You didn’t elect me to tell you what you wanted to hear,” Obama said in excerpts of the speech he was delivering Thursday evening at the Democratic National Convention.
“You elected me,” he said, “to tell you the truth.”
The message was reminiscent of the night Obama won the presidency four years ago, when supporters reveled around him, but his words of change in America were tempered by caution about how long and hard the climb back to prosperity would be. It has indeed been that hard, so much that Obama is using his address this time to reach back to the Great Depression.
Calling his first term a mere start, Obama reached for Americans to join him in a “bold, persistent experimentation that Franklin Roosevelt pursued during the only crisis worse than this one.”
The substance of the new Obama deal consists of the economic pillars of Obama’s campaign: manufacturing, energy, education, national security and debt reduction.
Even though it was Obama who said just this week that “a convention speech is never a State of the Union speech,” the outline released in advance by his campaign sure looked like one, right down to specific policy goals such as recruiting 100,000 math and science teachers over the next 10 years.
For a nation short on job security, this is Obama’s night to protect his own. He speaks to a television of audience of millions in the 10 p.m. EDT hour.
Obama’s speech will be about promise — the kind he’ll say he has kept, and the kind of feeling he wants to stir once more. He will take people back to the start of his presidency to make a case why their lives are better, but his bigger imperative is to sell himself as better for middle-class America than Republican Mitt Romney.
Gone is the newness of the last time he stood up to accept the nomination of his party. Obama, the graying incumbent, will not try to recreate it.
Instead, he will whittle the election down to a choice, spelling out his vision of how to create economic opportunity for all, and warning that Romney would restore trickle-down ideas that Obama says were quietly gutting the economy for years before crashing it completely.
Obama will also try to summon inspiration again that America is right on the cusp of what it could be.
Campaigns can thrive or die on voter passions, and Romney had his shot at this first. At his own convention last week, he told a TV audience of millions that it was a telling sign if many people’s best feelings about Obama peaked the moment they voted for him.
Gone, too, is the setting Obama wanted for the biggest address of his re-election bid.
Democrats opted for their convention’s rented basketball arena instead of a much larger, open-air football stadium for Obama, wary of the safety and political risks if rain came pouring down.
Yet tighter, packed quarters of energized supporters could present just the optics Obama wants on TV. He must give his backers and undecided voters a reason to mobilize behind him.
It worked on Wednesday night for former President Bill Clinton, and for first lady Michelle Obama the night before that.
In a nation in which more than 23 million people are unemployed or underemployed, Obama will focus instead on the millions who have found work, and how many more can, too.
He will ask for more time, just as Clinton foreshadowed.
As Clinton put it: “No president — not me, not any of my predecessors — no one could have fully repaired all the damage that he found in just four years. But he has laid the foundations for a new, modern, successful economy of shared prosperity. And if you will renew the president’s contract, you will feel it.”
Expect him to talk about ending the war in Iraq and promising to close the still-raging war in Afghanistan, particularly after mocking Romney for never addressing the latter in his own convention speech. Every speaker at the Democratic convention has contributed to the collective message that Obama wants to send of a diverse party that protects gay rights and women’s reproductive rights.
Yet it all comes back to the economy, Obama’s biggest burden.

Gabrielle Giffords Leads Democrats In Pledge Of Allegiance
CHARLOTTE, N.C.—Former Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, grievously wounded in a January 2011 assassination attempt, led Democrats in the Pledge of Allegiance on Thursday as they opened the final day of their political convention.
Giffords walked uneasily onstage, relying on Democratic National Committee Chair—and close friend—Debbie Wasserman Schultz for support, as the crowd chanted “Gabby! Gabby!” Her appearance onstage at Time Warner Cable Arena brought cheering Democrats to their feet for a standing ovation.
As she led the crowd in the pledge in a strong voice, Giffords held her right hand over her heart with her left. She won more cheers when she blew a kiss to the crowd. Cameras showed delegates weeping as they clapped.
Even as the two women disappeared backstage, the crowd began chanting “fired up, ready to go.”

Oil From BP Spill Uncovered By Isaac’s Waves
By CAIN BURDEAU and JAY REEVES Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Waves from Hurricane Isaac uncovered oil previously buried along Gulf Coast beaches, exposing crude that wasn’t cleaned up after the BP spill in 2010.
Since Isaac made landfall more than a week ago, the water the storm has receded and tar balls and oil have been reported on shores in Alabama and Louisiana, where officials closed a 13-mile stretch of beach Tuesday.
BP said Wednesday some of that oil was from the spill, but said some of the crude may be from other sources, too.
“If there’s something good about this storm it made it visible where we can clean it up,” BP spokesman Ray Melick said.
BP still has hundreds of cleanup workers on the Gulf Coast after the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded, killing 11 workers and leading to the nation’s largest offshore spill.
Melick said the company was working with the Coast Guard, state officials and land managers to clean up the oil on the Fourchon beach in Louisiana. He said crews would be there Thursday.
Isaac made landfall near Fourchon on Aug. 28 as a Category 1 storm, pummeling the coast with waves, wind and rain. Seven people were killed in Louisiana and Mississippi.
Ed Overton, a chemist and oil spill expert at Louisiana State University, said the exposed oil was weathered and less toxic, though it could still harm animals — such as crabs, crawfish and bait fish.
He said the storm helped speed up natural processes that break down oil and it might take several more storms to stir up the rest of the oil buried along the coast.
“We don’t like to say it, but hurricanes are Mother Nature’s way of taking a bath,” he said.
The reappearance of oil frustrated state officials.
Garret Graves, a top coastal aide to Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, accused BP of not being aggressive enough with its initial cleanup.
“If they would put just a fraction of the dollars they’re putting into their PR campaign into cleanup, we’d certainly be much farther ahead than we are now,” he said.
BP has spent millions of dollars on its public relations campaign, but the company has not said exactly how much it has invested. Its cleanup and response costs over the last two years were more than $14 billion and more than 66 million man-hours have gone to protect and treat the Gulf shoreline, the company has said.
BP also gave $1 million to the American Red Cross and The Salvation Army to help victims of Isaac.
Along the oiled Fourchon beach, officials restricted fishing in waters extending one mile offshore. The state Wildlife and Fisheries Department said there was a large mat of tar on one beach and concentrations of tar balls on nearby shores.
In Alabama, officials said the tar was more of an unsightly nuisance than a health hazard, describing globs as ranging in size from a dime to a half dollar coin.
“There are areas where there are significant deposits,” said Phillip West, coastal resources manager in Orange Beach, Ala.
Samples from both states were being tested to determine whether the tar was from BP’s Macondo well.
The Alabama cities believe the tar hitting their white-sand beaches was breaking off large, submerged mats from the spill.
“I do believe we are going to be dealing with this for years,” said Grant Brown, a spokesman for the city of Gulf Shores, Ala.
The areas where workers found tar after the storm were some of the same places the heaviest oil deposits occurred during the spill.
In Mississippi, officials have so far spotted only about a couple dozen tar balls on beaches. Most have turned out to be reddish-brown bacteria, which commonly washes ashore after storms.

Must Watch: Black and Sexy TV
The internet has undoubtedly become one of the most popular outlets for entertainment. Since television is gradually offering less and less positive and worthy programs, the web can be a good alternative for stimulation. As many of us already know, YouTube can be a great place to see fresh and original content from creative new artists.
A channel I recently discovered is called Black and Sexy TV. This vibrant channel contains a cool variety of different web series and airs their mini-sodes weekly. The shows are geared towards young Black people and contain themes that the community can relate to such as relationships, romance, and of course sex. One of the channel’s breakout series called The Number features an engaged couple, Melissa and Jason. In the premier episode the two decide to reveal to each other their total number of past sexual partners. The rest of the series follows how the shocking results affect the couple, their families, and love lives.
Then there is The Couple. This particular show highlights the adventures of another young Black couple as they get through each day of being in a relationship. This series shows that relationships can involve adjusting to your partners annoying habits while living together as well as sharing fun and loving times together. Other shows featured on this channel are Hang Up and That Guy! This hip new channel was made by the creators of the 2008 film A Good Day to Be Black and Sexy, written and directed by Dennis Dortch.
Though the mini-sodes offered on Black and Sexy TV run just minutes long, the shows are indeed hilarious and thought provoking. And YouTube certainly allows for the audience to engage in feedback and interaction through the comments section. If you look closely you’ll notice that the characters of Black and Sexy TV may even respond to comments! Though new episodes are aired on a weekly basis, the great thing about YouTube is that viewers can always go back and revisit the episodes at any time. And there are even more series in the works for this fresh, fun channel.
Web shows are becoming very popular on Youtube these days. You may have even heard of theAwkward Black Girl series that has blown up within the past year. The creator Issa Rae does a phenomenal job. Rae can even be spotted as a character in one of the Black and Sexy TV series and is also involved with production of this channel’s shows! It’s definitely exciting to know about this new platform for Black entertainment.

First Lady Michelle Obama ~ DNC Speech Video: ‘Barack knows the American dream because he’s lived it’
CHARLOTTE—First Lady Michelle Obama never once mentioned Mitt Romney’s name. But in her speech before the Democratic National Convention speech Monday night, she offered a dramatic contrast between her husband, Barack Obama, and his Republican opponent, insisting he understands the struggles of average Americans because he’s lived through those tough times, too.
“Barack knows the American Dream because he’s lived it, and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where we’re from, or what we look like, or who we love,” Michelle Obama said. “He believes that when you’ve worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you. You reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed.”
It was a speech meant to bolster her husband’s legislative accomplishments — and it did, as the first lady touted the president’s push
for health care reform, the auto industry bailout and efforts to keep down student loan interest rates.
But not unlike Ann Romney’s speech on behalf of her husband at last week’s Republican National Convention, Michelle Obama also sought to humanize the president, and to remind voters of the working class background she and her husband came from. With tears in her eyes, she spoke of her father, a pump operator at a Chicago water plant, and how her husband was raised by a single mother and by his grandparents.
“We learned about dignity and decency — that how hard you work matters more than how much you make, that helping others means more than just getting ahead yourself. We learned about honesty and integrity; that the truth matters; that you don’t take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules, and success doesn’t count unless you earn it fair and square,” she said. “We learned about gratitude and humility; that so many people had a hand in our success, from the teachers who inspired us to the janitors who kept our school clean, and we were taught to value everyone’s contribution and treat everyone with respect.”
Those are the values they are trying to pass on to their own children — and values that inform her husband’s job as president, she said.
“After so many struggles and triumphs and moments that have tested my husband in ways I never could have imagined, I have seen firsthand that being president doesn’t change who you are — it reveals who you are,” said Michelle Obama. “As president, you can get all kinds of advice from all kinds of people. But at the end of the day, when it comes time to make that decision, as president, all you have to guide you are your values, and your vision, and the life experiences that make you who you are.”
Her husband, she said, “is thinking about folks like my dad and his grandmother” and is “thinking about the pride that comes from a hard day’s work.” It was a line meant to push back against Romney’s claims that Obama doesn’t understand how to create jobs because he’s never worked in the private sector. But it also offered a subtle contrast between her husband and Romney, who came from a well-off background.
She spoke of the student loan debts they incurred as a young married couple: “We were so young, so in love, and so in debt,” she said.
And she spoke of her husband’s skills as a father — which she insisted have been unchanged even despite the pressures of the presidency.
“People ask me whether being in the White House has changed my husband, I can honestly say that when it comes to his character, and his convictions, and his heart, Barack Obama is still the same man I fell in love with all those years ago,” she said, her eyes wet with tears.
Pushing back against GOP charges that her husband is driven by politics, Obama insisted there is no “us and them” for the president, that “he doesn’t care whether you’re a Democrat, a Republican or none of the above.”
She told voters her husband never lets himself “get distracted by the chatter and the noise.” He just keeps “getting up and moving forward,” she said.
“He reminds me that we are playing a long game here, and that change is hard, and change is slow, and it never happens all at once,” she said. “Many of us stand here tonight because of their sacrifice, and longing, and steadfast love because time and again, they swallowed their fears and doubts and did what was hard.”
That has been the story of the American dream, the first lady said. “That is what has made my story, and Barack’s story, and so many other American stories possible.”

“This Or That?” Questionnaire Tag
Just earlier I was watching some tags on YouTube and I was thinking to myself, “What if there was some type of thingy like that on blogs. That would be so cool.” And to my surprise I stumbled across this questionnaire on KATIEDAISY921 blog and I was like Oooh YEAH! So without further a do here are my answers to : This or That?
*Side Note – Just thought that I would let you know that #3 is missing for some odd reason. So no I didn’t skip one.
This or That?
1. Coke or Pepsi? Neither. Give me water with lemons please.
2. Caramel Apple or Cotton Candy? I love apples but not the candy or caramel ones .. So I guess cotton candy but not really. I mean I like it but I’m not a big fan of it. It’s not like I got to have it when the fair rolls into town. I much rather have a funnel cake. YUM!
4. Salt or Pepper? A little of both.
5. Pudding or Yogurt? Oh wow I love both. I can’t choose. If I had to pick on my present actions lately it would be yogurt all the way. So in love with CHOBANI 🙂
6. American or Provolone Cheese? Just Cheese. Point. Blank. Period.
7. Cookies or Brownies? My husband & I have a love affair with brownies … Just typing about them puts a smile on my face. definitely #TeamChocolate.
8. Pretzels or Chips? So love chips. They are my weakness.
9. Cake or Pie? Cake baby and make it chocolate!
10. Oatmeal or Cereal? Oatmeal. Oatmeal. Oatmeal. Man I love this stuff. I can’t keep enough oats in the pantry.
11. Mexican or Japanese? Mexican hands down.
12. Chinese or Italian? Is that even a question? With out a doubt Italian.
13. Surf or Turf? Surfing with the goodness.
14. Pizza or Pasta? Duh. Pizza by a landslide!
15. Mustard or Ketchup? I love both but let’s not forget about mayo.
16. Sandwich or Wrap? Here in the Porter House we love wraps. But we are known to make a sandwich or two with our fave whole-wheat bread.
17. Apples or Oranges? This is without question apples. My #1 go to use to be Golden Delicious but it has been bumped down to 2nd place because of Honeycrisp apples. Oooo Child! Love these things.
18. Strawberries or Raspberries? Strawberries.
19. Blackberries or Blueberries? Blackberries without question. I remember growing up and walking down the street to pick wild blackberries off the side of the road with my friends. Ahhh, the good ole days.
20. Rice or Noodles? More like potatoes. Especially Sweet Potatoes. Oh My Gosh!
21. Spicy or Mild? Mild. I’m not big on a lot of hot & spicy stuff. I like it toned down. ALOT!
22. Salad or Soup? SALAD! I have a salad just about everyday … Sometimes 2 times a day.
23. Soup or Stew? I like both but I tend to eat more soups than stews.
24. Salted or Sweet Popcorn? I can’t stand kettle style popcorn & caramel coated popcorn and me fell out with each other because it cracked my tooth one day. So I guess that leaves Salted. But I only like the lightly salted and buttered stuff.
25. Cauliflower or Broccoli? Broccoli and don’t let me add some shredded cheddar … or turn it into a salad with dried cranberries … Mmmm!
26. Onion Rings or French Fries? French Fries. I can’t stand onion rings.
27. Burger or Hot Dog? Turkey Burger. Especially if it is hot off the grill
28. Popsicle or Ice Cream? When I was little and now fully grown I tend to navigate towards popsicles. But since I have met my husband (who is an ice cream FANATIC), he has slowly been pulling me over to his side.
29. Coffee or Tea? Tea but mostly ice tea. The only time I drink it hot is when I am coming down with a cold or my throat feels funny. Or when I want to feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
30. Chocolate or Vanilla? Chocolate. Should you have even asked?
31. Sausage or Bacon? Turkey sausage but like I stated earlier my husband has being pulling me over to his side. And he LOVES bacon. So I guess I have to say both.
32. Peanut butter or almond butter? Peanut butter – Creamy Honey Roast by Peter Pan
33. Salty or Sweet? Depends on what I am feeling at the moment.
34. Fried or Scrambled Eggs? Scrambled eggs with cheese. Please.
35. Waffles or Pancakes? I like waffles. Especially Belgium Waffles but my hubby loves himself some pancakes. So like I said before I am being pulled both ways. I think that I am beginning to sound a little repetitive here. LOL.
Okay, your turn! If you read my survey, now it’s time to post yours. Isn’t it fun.
Feel free to leave me a comment with a link to your blog post with completed questionnaire.
I would love to see your answers!
