Buenos Días.

A principios de esta semana, más de 120 millones de estadounidenses fueron a las urnas y votaron por un nuevo Presidente y Congreso. No importa cómo votamos, todos los estadounidenses tenemos motivo de estar orgullosos de nuestra democracia. Nuestros ciudadanos han elegido un Presidente que representa un triunfo de la historia estadounidense - un testamento al trabajo duro, al optimismo y a la fe en la promesa duradera de nuestra Nación.

Cuando llamé al Presidente-electo Obama para felicitarlo por su histórica victoria, le dije que puede contar con mi completa cooperación al llevar a cabo su transición a la Casa Blanca. Asegurar que esta transición sea fluida es una alta prioridad durante el resto de mi presidencia. Nuestro país se enfrenta a desafíos económicos que no descansarán para dejar que se instale un nuevo Presidente. También esta será la primera transición presidencial en Estados Unidos en época de guerra en cuatro décadas. Estamos luchando contra extremistas violentos empeñados en atacarnos - y nada les daría mayor gusto que explotar este período de cambio para perjudicar al pueblo estadounidense.

Por lo tanto mi Administración se esforzará para asegurar que el próximo Presidente y su equipo puedan comenzar con todas las de ganar. Durante más de un año ya, la Casa Blanca y agencias en todo el gobierno federal han estado preparando una transición libre de problemas. Hemos preparado informes sobre inteligencia para el Presidente-electo, y el Departamento de Justicia ha aprobado autorizaciones de seguridad para miembros de su equipo de transición. En las próximas semanas, pediremos a oficiales de la Administración que informen al equipo Obama sobre temas actuales de política, desde los mercados financieros a la guerra en Irak. Yo mantendré plenamente informado al Presidente-electo sobre decisiones importantes durante estos momentos críticos para nuestra nación. Tomadas en su conjunto, estas medidas representan un esfuerzo sin precedentes para asegurar la continuidad en toda la rama ejecutiva.

Una transición exitosa es apenas una de las muchas tareas que le quedan a mi Administración. Ayer aprendimos que la economía de Estados Unidos perdió empleos en el mes de octubre - y yo seguiré esforzándome para que nuestra Nación vuelva al camino de la prosperidad y el crecimiento. Para ayudar a enfrentar la crisis financiera global, mi Administración será anfitriona de una cumbre internacional histórica en Washington el 15 de noviembre. También seguiremos instando al Congreso para que apruebe los acuerdos de libre comercio entre Estados Unidos y Colombia, Panamá y Corea del Sur. Seguiremos luchando para derrotar los terroristas y extremistas en el extranjero, a fin de mantener seguro al pueblo estadounidense aquí en casa.

Los estadounidenses esperan que su Presidente conduzca los negocios del pueblo. Yo seguiré manteniendo esta solemne obligación el tiempo que la presidencia esté a mi cargo. Mientras tanto, me uno al pueblo de Estados Unidos para desearle al Presidente-electo Obama todo éxito. Laura y yo le deseamos a la familia Obama la misma alegría y felicidad que nuestra familia ha encontrado en esta casa maravillosa.

Gracias por escuchar.

Bureau of Labor Statistics Jobs Report 11/07/08

Keith Hall Commissioner of Labor Statistics for the U.S. Department of Labor

Keith Hall is the Commissioner of Labor Statistics for the U.S. Department of Labor. As Commissioner, he oversees the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), which is the principal fact-finding agency in the Federal Government in the broad field of labor economics and statistics. The BLS is an independent national statistical agency that collects, processes, analyzes, and disseminates essential statistical data to the American public, the U.S. Congress, other Federal agencies, State and local governments, business, and labor.
Commissioner's Statement on the Employment Situation, Statement of Keith Hall Commissioner Bureau of Labor Statistics Friday, November 7, 2008

Nonfarm payroll employment fell by 240,000 in October, and the unemployment rate rose from 6.1 to 6.5 percent. Job losses over the last 3 months totaled 651,000, after accounting for downward revisions to employment estimates for August and
September. So far this year, payroll employment has decreased by 1.2 million.

In October, manufacturing employment continued to fall (-90,000), with declines occurring throughout the sector. A large drop in transportation equipment employment (-40,000) reflected continued weakness in motor vehicles and parts as well
as a strike involving 27,000 workers in the aerospace industry. Other sizable job losses occurred in fabricated metal products (-11,000), furniture (-10,000), wood products (-7,000), and plastics and rubber products (-6,000). Manufacturing hours and overtime were unchanged at 40.6 and 3.6 hours, respectively.
Construction employment declined by 49,000 over the month. Since its peak in September 2006, employment in this industry has fallen by 663,000. Most of the declines over this period occurred in residential specialty trades (-349,000) and in
residential building (-199,000).

Retail trade employment fell by 38,000 in October, with the largest losses occurring among automobile dealers (-20,000) and department stores (-18,000). Wholesale trade employment fell by 22,000 over the month, with most of the loss occurring in durable goods distribution.

Employment in financial activities declined by 24,000 in October; credit intermediation, which includes banking, accounted for about half of the loss. The securities industry shed 6,000 jobs in October, following a loss of 9,000 in September. The employment services industry, which includes temporary help agencies, continued to contract in October (-51,000) and has lost about half a million jobs since the most recent peak in August 2006.

Health care employment rose by 26,000 in October and by 348,000 over the past 12 months. Mining added 7,000 jobs over the month. Since a low in April 2003, mining employment has increased by 246,000 (nearly 50 percent).

Average hourly earnings for production and nonsupervisory workers in the private sector increased by 4 cents, or 0.2 percent, in October. Over the past 12 months, average hourly earnings have increased by 3.5 percent. From September 2007 to September 2008, the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) rose by 5.4 percent.

Turning to labor market measures from the survey of households, the unemployment rate rose by 0.4 percentage point to 6.5 percent in October. The rate was 4.8 percent a year earlier.

About 10.1 million persons were unemployed in October, an increase of 603,000 over the month and 2.8 million over the past 12 months. About 2.3 million individuals had been unemployed for 27 weeks or more, an increase of 249,000 over the month and 942,000 over the past 12 months.

Both the labor force participation rate, at 66.1 percent, and the employment-population ratio, at 61.8 percent, were little changed over the month. The employment-population ratio has declined by 0.9 percentage point over the year and by 1.6 percentage points from its recent peak in December 2006.

The number of persons working part time who would have preferred full-time employment increased by 645,000 in October to 6.7 million. Over the last 12 months, the number of such workers has grown by 2.3 million.

In summary, nonfarm payroll employment declined by 240,000 in October, and the unemployment rate rose to 6.5 percent.

Rahm Israel Emanuel Biography

Rahm Israel Emanuel

Rahm Israel Emanuel
Rahm Israel Emanuel (born November 29, 1959) is an Israeli-American politician who has been a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives since 2003, representing Illinois's 5th congressional district, which covers much of the north side of Chicago and parts of suburban Cook County.
Emanuel was chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee for the 2006 elections. After the Democratic Party regained control of the House, he was elected as the next chairman of the Democratic Caucus. He is the fourth-ranking Democrat in the House, behind Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Leader Steny Hoyer and Whip Jim Clyburn.

Emanuel is noted for his strong style and his fundraising prowess. He is co-author with current Democratic Leadership Council President Bruce Reed of the 2006 book The Plan: Big Ideas for America. He is a member of the New Democrat Coalition. Rahm Emanuel is a founding member and the Co-Chair of the Congressional Serbian Caucus.

On November 6, 2008, Emanuel accepted an offer from President-elect Barack Obama to become the White House Chief of Staff in Obama's administration, which begins on January 20, 2009.

Rahm Emanuel (Hebrew: רם עמנואל‎) was born in Chicago, Illinois. His first name, Rahm, means "high" or "lofty" in Hebrew, while his last name, Emanuel, means "God is with us." His father, the Jerusalem-born Benjamin M. Emanuel, is a pediatrician and former member of the Irgun (Irgun Zeva'i Le'ummi), a military Nationalist group treated as a terrorist organization during British rule. His mother, Martha Smulevitz, worked as an X-ray technician and was the daughter of a local union organizer. She became a civil rights activist; she was also once the owner of a Chicago-area rock and roll club. The two met in Chicago in the 1950s. Emanuel's older brother, Ezekiel, is an oncologist and bioethicist, and his brother Ari is a talent agent in Los Angeles who inspired Jeremy Piven's character Ari Gold on the HBO series Entourage. Emanuel himself is the inspiration for the character Josh Lyman on The West Wing. He also has a younger sister named Shoshanna, 14 years his junior.

When his family lived in Chicago, he attended Bernard Zell Anshe Emet Day School, a Jewish day school. After his family moved to Wilmette, he attended public school: Romona School, Wilmette Junior High School, and New Trier West High School. He graduated from Sarah Lawrence College in 1981, and went on to receive a master's degree in Speech and Communication from Northwestern University in 1985. While still an undergraduate, he joined the congressional campaign of David Robinson of Chicago.

His father, still practicing near Chicago, emigrated to the United States from Israel. Emanuel volunteered as a civilian volunteer in the Israel Defense Forces during the 1991 Gulf War, serving in one of Israel's northern bases, rust-proofing brakes.
Emanuel's wife Amy Rule, a graduate of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania converted to Modern Orthodox Judaism shortly before her wedding. They are members of Anshe Shalom, a modern Orthodox congregation in Chicago. They have three children, son Zacharias and daughters Ilana and Leah.

Dick Morris on Rahm Emanuel
Emanuel is a long time close friend of fellow Chicagoan David Axelrod, Chief Strategist for the 2008 Barack Obama presidential campaign. Axelrod signed the ketubah at Emanuel's wedding, an honor that goes to a best friend.

Rabbi Asher Lopatin of Anshe Sholom B'nai Israel Congregation, is quoted as saying: "It's a very involved Jewish family"; "Amy was one of the teachers for a class for children during the High Holidays two years ago." Emanuel has said of his Judaism: "I am proud of my heritage and treasure the values it has taught me." Emanuel's family lives on the North Side of Chicago, in the North Center neighborhood.

Emanuel trains for and participates in triathlons.

He began his political career with the public interest and consumer rights organization Illinois Public Action. He went on to serve in a number of capacities in local and national politics, initially specializing in fundraising for Illinois campaigns and then nationally.

Emanuel worked for Democrat Paul Simon's 1984 election to the U.S. Senate, was the national campaign director for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in 1988, and then was senior advisor and chief fundraiser for Richard M. Daley's victorious campaign for Mayor of Chicago in 1989.

At the start of then-Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton's presidential primary campaign Emanuel was appointed to direct the campaign's finance committee. Emanuel insisted that Clinton schedule a lot of time for fundraising and greatly delay campaigning in New Hampshire. After much dispute within the campaign about the issue, Clinton eventually agreed, embarking on an aggressive fundraising campaign across the nation. The fundraising paid off later, providing the campaign a vital buffer to keep buying television time as attacks on Clinton's character threatened to swamp the campaign during the New Hampshire primary.[citation needed]

Clinton's most serious primary rival, Paul Tsongas (the New Hampshire Democratic primary winner in 1992), later withdrew, citing a lack of campaign funds. Richard Mintz, a Washington public relations consultant who worked with Emanuel on the campaign, spoke about the soundness of the idea: "It was that million dollars that really allowed the campaign to withstand the storm we had to ride out in New Hampshire [over Clinton's relationship with Gennifer Flowers and the controversy over his draft status during the Vietnam War]." Emanuel's knowledge of the top donors in the country, and his rapport with potential donors within the Jewish community helped Clinton amass a then-unheard-of sum of $72 million.


Rep. Emanuel: Iraq Accountability Act Conference Report
Following the campaign, Emanuel became a senior advisor to Clinton at the White House from 1993 to 1998. In the White House, Emanuel was initially Assistant to the President for Political Affairs and then Senior Advisor to the President for Policy and Strategy. He was a leading strategist in the unsuccessful White House efforts to institute universal healthcare and many other Clinton initiatives.
One of his proudest moments during the Clinton administration "was an event that touched his political sensibilities and his personal ties to Israel: the 1993 Rose Garden signing ceremony after the Oslo Accords between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Emanuel directed the details of the ceremony, down to the choreography of the famous handshake between Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat."

Emanuel is said to have "mailed a rotting fish to a former coworker after the two parted ways." On the night after the 1996 election, "Emanuel was so angry at the president's enemies that he stood up at a celebratory dinner with colleagues from the campaign, grabbed a steak knife and began rattling off a list of betrayers, shouting 'Dead! ... Dead! ... Dead!' and plunging the knife into the table after every name." His "take-no-prisoners attitude" earned him the nickname "Rahm-bo".

People who worked with Emanuel at that time "insist the once hard-charging staffer has mellowed out." He left the White House to accept a well-paid position at Dresdner Kleinwort investment bank in Chicago, where he worked from 1999 to 2002 and reportedly earned US$18 million. Emanuel also served on the Board of Directors for Freddie Mac from 2002-2004.

Following the end of the Clinton presidency, Emanuel went into investment banking, reportedly earning $8 million in his three years as managing director of Wasserstein Perella & Co./Dresdner Kleinwort. Deciding to return to politics, he pursued the U.S. House seat in the 5th District of Illinois previously held by Rod Blagojevich, who chose not to run for re-election, but instead successfully ran for Governor of Illinois.

His strongest opponent of the seven other candidates in the 2002 Democratic primary — the real contest in this heavily Democratic district — was former Illinois State Representative Nancy Kaszak, who had unsuccessfully opposed Blagojevich in the 1996 primary. The most controversial moment of the primary election came when Edward Moskal, president of the Polish American Congress, a political action committee endorsing Kaszak, called Emanuel a "millionaire carpetbagger who knows nothing" about "our heritage". Moskal also charged that Emanuel had dual citizenship with Israel and had served in the Israeli Army. Rahm was a civilian volunteer in the Israel Defense Forces during the 1991 Gulf War and was born a citizen due to his father's (dual) Israeli-U.S. citizenship, but relinquished it when he turned 18.

Emanuel brought together a coalition of Chicago clergy to denounce the incident. He recalled, "One of the proudest moments of my life was seeing people of my district from all backgrounds demonstrate our common values by coming together in response to this obvious attempt to divide them." Moskal's comments were denounced as anti-Semitic by many, including Kaszak. Emanuel won the primary and easily defeated Republican candidate Mark Augusti in the general election. Emanuel supported the October 2002 joint Congressional resolution authorizing the Iraq War, differentiating himself from all nine other Democratic members of the Illinois Congressional delegation (Sen. Richard Durbin, Reps. Bobby Rush, Jesse Jackson, Jr., Bill Lipinski, Luis Gutiérrez, Danny K. Davis, Jan Schakowsky, Jerry Costello and Evans) elected in 2002.

Emanuel was named the Chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in 2005. Prior to his work for Clinton, Emanuel had been an employee of the Committee, which principally serves to recruit candidates for the House and to raise funds to assist both new candidates and incumbents from the Democratic party in an effort to gain Democratic representation in the House.

He declared that in his new role "winning is everything", and he urged Democratic candidates to adopt more centrist positions. Emanuel was known to have had disagreements over Democratic election strategy with Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean. Dean favored a "50 state strategy", building support for the Democratic Party over the long term, while Emanuel believed a more tactical approach, focusing attention on key districts, was necessary to ensure victory.

Ultimately the Democratic Party enjoyed considerable success in the 2006 elections, gaining 30 seats in the House. Emanuel has received considerable praise for his stewardship of the DCCC during this election cycle, even from Illinois Republican Rep. Ray LaHood who said "He legitimately can be called the golden boy of the Democratic Party today. He recruited the right candidates, found the money and funded them, and provided issues for them. Rahm did what no one else could do in seven cycles." Nevertheless, some of the 2006 victories came in areas that had trended strongly Republican in recent years, such as Nancy Boyda's defeat of Jim Ryun in Kansas.

Emanuel still is close to Bill Clinton, and talked strategy with him at least once a month as chairman of the DCCC. He declared in April 2006 that he would support Hillary Rodham Clinton should she pursue the presidency in 2008. However, Emanuel's loyalties came into conflict when his home-state senator Barack Obama expressed interest in the race; asked in January 2007 about his stance on the Democratic presidential nomination, he said: "I'm hiding under the desk. I'm very far under the desk, and I'm bringing my paper and my phone."

Open Secrets reports that Rahm Emanuel "was the top House recipient in the 2008 election cycle of contributions from hedge funds, private equity firms and the larger securities/investment industry".

After his role in helping the Democrats to win the 2006 elections, Emanuel was believed to be a leading candidate for the position of Majority Whip. Nancy Pelosi, who became the next Speaker of the House, persuaded him not to challenge Jim Clyburn, but instead to succeed Clyburn in the role of Democratic Caucus Chairman. In return, Pelosi agreed to assign the caucus chair more responsibilities, including "aspects of strategy and messaging, incumbent retention, policy development and rapid-response communications". Caucus vice-chair John Larson remained in this role instead of running for the chairman position.

After U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney asserted that he did not fall within the bounds of orders set for the executive branch, Emanuel called for cutting off the $4.8 million the Executive Branch provides for the Vice President's office. Cheney's office subsequently backed down from the claim.

During his original 2002 campaign, Emanuel "indicated his support of President Bush's position on Iraq, but said he believed the president needed to better articulate his position to the American people".[16] Inspired by his pediatrician father, one of the major goals he spoke of during the race was "to help make health care affordable and available for all Americans".[16]

Emanuel has maintained a 100 percent pro-choice voting record and is generally liberal on social issues. He has aligned himself with the center-right of the Democratic Party, the Democratic Leadership Council.

Emanuel, whose father was in Irgun, is a strong supporter of AIPAC, and personally introduced fellow Chicagoan Barack Obama to the organization's directors during the 2008 presidential campaign. According to Fox News, in accordance with his deep Jewish roots and his volunteering in Israel when it was under attack from Saddam Hussein's missiles in the first Gulf War, he has indicated consistent support for Israel. A November 2008 article claimed that while expressing empathy for Palestinians, Emanuel has explicitly condemned their leaders. In June 2007, Emanuel condemned an outbreak of Palestinian violence in the Gaza Strip and criticized Arab countries for not applying the same kind of pressure on the Palestinians as they have on Israel. "Fatah and Hamas are tearing the Palestinian area of the Gaza strip apart in what they call a political rivalry, and the Palestinian people are paying a price for Palestinian violence," he said at the time. "Governments from around the world and the Arab world have said nothing. ... I just want you to think for a second, if this were the result of Israeli-Palestinian hostilities, would the international silence and the silence of the Arab world be this deafening?" At a 2003 pro-Israel rally in Chicago, Emanuel told the marchers Israel was ready for peace but would not get there until Palestinians "turn away from the path of terror", according to the Chicago Tribune.

Emanuel held a seat on the quasi-governmental Freddie Mac board, which paid him $231,655 in director’s fees in 2001 and $31,060 in 2000...During the time Emanuel spent on the board, Freddie Mac was plagued with scandal involving campaign contributions and accounting irregularities…"

A 2006 Chicago Tribune article raised speculation regarding a possible connection between Emanuel's Congressional election success and convicted former Chicago water department boss Don Tomczak.

USA Today reported in late January 2007 that Emanuel failed to disclose that he was an officer of a family charity, a violation of law requiring members of Congress to report non-profit leadership roles. The charity does not ask for outside donations and is funded by Emanuel and his family.

On November 6, 2008, Emanuel accepted the position of White House Chief of Staff for Barack Obama. He would become the third Jewish Chief of Staff, after Kenneth Duberstein, Chief of Staff to Ronald Reagan, and Joshua Bolten, Chief of Staff to George W. Bush.

President Bush Discusses Presidential Election PODCAST VIDEO

President George W. Bush delivers a statement on the 2008 president election

President George W. Bush delivers a statement on the 2008 president election from the Rose Garden Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2008, at the White House. Said the President, "A long campaign has now ended, and we move forward as one nation. We're embarking on a period of change in Washington, yet there are some things that will not change.

The United States government will stay vigilant in meeting its most important responsibility -- protecting the American people. And the world can be certain this commitment will remain steadfast under our next Commander-in-Chief." White House photo by Joyce N. Boghosian
President Bush Discusses Presidential Election FULL STREAMING VIDEO Rose Garden 10:20 A.M. EST. PODCAST OF THIS ARTICLE

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Last night, I had a warm conversation with President-elect Barack Obama. I congratulated him and Senator Biden on their impressive victory. I told the President-elect he can count on complete cooperation from my administration as he makes the transition to the White House.

I also spoke to Senator John McCain. I congratulated him on a determined campaign that he and Governor Palin ran. The American people will always be grateful for the lifetime of service John McCain has devoted to this nation. And I know he'll continue to make tremendous contributions to our country.
No matter how they cast their ballots, all Americans can be proud of the history that was made yesterday. Across the country, citizens voted in large numbers. They showed a watching world the vitality of America's democracy, and the strides we have made toward a more perfect union. They chose a President whose journey represents a triumph of the American story -- a testament to hard work, optimism, and faith in the enduring promise of our nation.

Many of our citizens thought they would never live to see that day. This moment is especially uplifting for a generation of Americans who witnessed the struggle for civil rights with their own eyes -- and four decades later see a dream fulfilled.

A long campaign has now ended, and we move forward as one nation. We're embarking on a period of change in Washington, yet there are some things that will not change. The United States government will stay vigilant in meeting its most important responsibility -- protecting the American people. And the world can be certain this commitment will remain steadfast under our next Commander-in-Chief.

There's important work to do in the months ahead, and I will continue to conduct the people's business as long as this office remains in my trust. During this time of transition, I will keep the President-elect fully informed on important decisions. And when the time comes on January the 20th, Laura and I will return home to Texas with treasured memories of our time here -- and with profound gratitude for the honor of serving this amazing country.

It will be a stirring sight to watch President Obama, his wife, Michelle, and their beautiful girls step through the doors of the White House. I know millions of Americans will be overcome with pride at this inspiring moment that so many have awaited so long. I know Senator Obama's beloved mother and grandparents would have been thrilled to watch the child they raised ascend the steps of the Capitol -- and take his oath to uphold the Constitution of the greatest nation on the face of the earth.

Last night I extended an invitation to the President-elect and Mrs. Obama to come to the White House. And Laura and I are looking forward to welcoming them as soon as possible.

Thank you very much.

researchers crack Internet McEliece encryption system

Dr. Tanja Lange

Dr. Tanja Lange, Her research interests are in the area of public key cryptography, mainly in elliptic and hyperelliptic curve cryptography.
Eindhoven researchers crack Internet security of the future

Researchers at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in The Netherlands have managed to crack the so-called McEliece encryption system. This system is a candidate for the security of Internet traffic in the age of the quantum computer - the predicted superpowerful computer of the future.

The attack succeeded this month by means of a large number of linked computers throughout the world, says TU/e professor Tanja Lange. Earlier this year she and her PhD student Christiane Peters, together with visiting professor Daniel Bernstein (University of Illinois, Chicago), had discovered a way to speed up attacks against the 30-year-old McEliece cryptosystem. The researchers wrote software that would decrypt a McEliece ciphertext in just 1 week on a cluster of 200 computers.
The software was run recently on several dozen computers in Eindhoven, Amsterdam, France, Ireland, Taiwan and the United States. A lucky computer in Ireland found the ciphertext.

The successful attack was announced recently at a conference in Cincinnati (US) on Post-Quantum Cryptography. The researchers said that the McEliece cryptosystem can be scaled to larger key sizes to avoid their attacks and remains a leading candidate for post-quantum cryptography.

At present, banks use the RSA code from 1977 for securing matters such as electronic transactions. For RSA the currently used key sizes are significantly larger than initially thought: a single PC would need only 3 weeks to break the parameters from the original paper. Yet a quantum computer will have no problems cracking even the improved current version. For this reason, anticipating the introduction of the quantum computer (which Lange thinks will take at least ten more years) and to deal with long-term confidentiality such as health records, researchers are trying to find better encryption systems. ###

Professor Tanja Lange conducts her research within the Coding theory and Cryptology group of the Department of Mathematics & Computer Science at Eindhoven University of Technology in The Netherlands.

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. This Tuesday is Election Day. After months of spirited debate and vigorous campaigning, the time has come for Americans to make important decisions about our Nation's future. I encourage all Americans to go to the polls and vote.

Election season brings out the spirit of competition between our political parties, and that competition is an essential part of a healthy democracy. But as the campaigns come to a close, Republicans, Democrats, and independents can find common ground on at least one point: Our system of representative democracy is one of America's greatest strengths.

The United States was founded on the belief that all men are created equal. Every Election Day, millions of Americans of all races, religions, and backgrounds step into voting booths throughout the Nation. Whether they are rich or poor, old or young, each of them has an equal share in choosing the path that our country will take. And every ballot they cast is a reminder that our founding principles are alive and well.

Voting is one of the great privileges of American citizenship, and it has always required brave defenders. As you head to the polls next week, remember the sacrifices that have been made by generations of Americans in uniform to preserve our way of life. From Bunker Hill to Baghdad, the men and women of American Armed Forces have been devoted guardians of our democracy. All of us owe them and their families a special debt of gratitude on Election Day.

Americans should also remember the important example that our elections set throughout the world. Young democracies from Georgia and Ukraine to Afghanistan and Iraq can look to the United States for proof that self-government can endure. And nations that still live under tyranny and oppression can find hope and inspiration in our commitment to liberty.

For more than two centuries, Americans have demonstrated the ability of free people to choose their own leaders. Our Nation has flourished because of its commitment to trusting the wisdom of our citizenry. In this year's election, we will see this tradition continue. And we will be reminded once again that we are blessed to live in a free nation guided by the will of the people.

Thank you for listening. # # #

Buenos Días.

El martes es el día de las elecciones. Tras meses de debates enérgicos y una vigorosa campaña, ha llegado el momento de que los estadounidenses tomen decisiones importantes sobre el futuro de nuestra nación. Aliento a todos los estadounidenses a acudir a las urnas y votar.

La temporada de elecciones saca a relucir el espíritu competitivo de nuestros partidos políticos, y esa competencia es un aspecto esencial de una democracia saludable. Pero al concluir las campañas, republicanos, demócratas e independientes pueden encontrar afinidad con respecto a por lo menos un punto: nuestro sistema de democracia representativa es una de las mayores cualidades de Estados Unidos.

Estados Unidos fue fundado en base a la convicción de que todos los hombres son creados iguales. Cada vez que hay elecciones, millones de estadounidenses de todas las razas, religiones y orígenes entran a cabinas de votación en todo el país. Sean ricos o pobres, ancianos o jóvenes, cada uno de ellos participa de igual manera en la elección del camino que seguirá nuestro país. Y cada voto que emiten es un recordatorio de que los principios sobre los que se fundó nuestra nación siguen sanos y salvos.

El voto es uno de los grandes privilegios que otorga la ciudadanía estadounidense y siempre ha requerido de valientes defensores. Al dirigirse a las urnas la próxima semana, recuerden los sacrificios que han hecho muchas generaciones de estadounidenses que vistieron el uniforme para preservar nuestra forma de vida. Desde Bunker Hill hasta Bagdad, los hombres y mujeres de las Fuerzas Armadas de Estados Unidos han sido abnegados guardianes de nuestra democracia. Todos nosotros les debemos especial gratitud a ellos y sus familias el día de las elecciones.

Los estadounidenses también deben recordar que nuestras elecciones sientan un importante ejemplo en todo el mundo. Democracias jóvenes como Georgia y Ucrania, Afganistán e Iraq, tienen en Estados Unidos la prueba de que la autonomía puede perdurar. Y los países que aún viven bajo la tiranía y la opresión pueden encontrar esperanza e inspiración en nuestra devoción por la libertad.

Durante más de dos siglos, los estadounidenses han demostrado la capacidad de las personas libres de escoger a sus propios líderes. Nuestra nación ha florecido debido a su compromiso de confiar en la sensatez de nuestros ciudadanos. En las elecciones de este año, veremos la continuación de esta tradición. Y recordaremos una vez más que es una bendición vivir en una nación libre guiada por la voluntad del pueblo.

Gracias por escuchar.

Frank Gaffney on Obama and Biden VIDEO


Let Freedom Ring (LFR), a West Chester-based grassroots organization advocating traditional conservative principles, LFR's anchor ad, which began running nationally and in battleground states Thursday, zeroes in on national security.

"When we see candidates taking positions that unmistakably convey a determination neither to use military power or to ensure that they have it at their disposal should it be necessary, they are conveying to our enemies weakness and weakness invites aggression," Frank Gaffney, former assistant secretary of defense for international security policy and current president of Center for Security Policy.

Joe Biden, "I promise you, you all are going to be sitting here a year from now going, 'Oh my God, why are they there in the polls, why is the polling so down, why is this thing so tough?' We're going have to make some incredibly tough decisions in the first two years, I'm asking you now, be prepared to stick with us. Remember the faith you had at this point because you're going to have to reinforce us."

In September, Mr. Obama purchased $65 million in media buys, building on the $32 million it spent in August. And the campaign spent $6.5 million on one day of advertising this month, while the McCain camp spent under a million the same day. he results? Mr. Obama is outspending Mr. McCain 4 to 1 on media buys.

Federal Open Market Committee lowers federal funds rate 50 basis points

Federal Reserve Building, Washington, D.C.

Federal Reserve Building, Washington, D.C.
The Federal Open Market Committee decided today to lower its target for the federal funds rate 50 basis points to 1 percent.

The pace of economic activity appears to have slowed markedly, owing importantly to a decline in consumer expenditures. Business equipment spending and industrial production have weakened in recent months, and slowing economic activity in many foreign economies is damping the prospects for U.S. exports.
Moreover, the intensification of financial market turmoil is likely to exert additional restraint on spending, partly by further reducing the ability of households and businesses to obtain credit.

In light of the declines in the prices of energy and other commodities and the weaker prospects for economic activity, the Committee expects inflation to moderate in coming quarters to levels consistent with price stability.

Recent policy actions, including today’s rate reduction, coordinated interest rate cuts by central banks, extraordinary liquidity measures, and official steps to strengthen financial systems, should help over time to improve credit conditions and promote a return to moderate economic growth. Nevertheless, downside risks to growth remain. The Committee will monitor economic and financial developments carefully and will act as needed to promote sustainable economic growth and price stability.

Voting for the FOMC monetary policy action were: Ben S. Bernanke, Chairman; Timothy F. Geithner, Vice Chairman; Elizabeth A. Duke; Richard W. Fisher; Donald L. Kohn; Randall S. Kroszner; Sandra Pianalto; Charles I. Plosser; Gary H. Stern; and Kevin M. Warsh.

In a related action, the Board of Governors unanimously approved a 50-basis-point decrease in the discount rate to 1-1/4 percent. In taking this action, the Board approved the requests submitted by the Boards of Directors of the Federal Reserve Banks of Boston, New York, Cleveland, and San Francisco.

Chuck Norris TV Ad Obama Campaign Threatens Legal Action VIDEO

Chuck Norris: An Outlaw's Worst Nightmare?


Obama Campaign Threatens Legal Action Over NRA Ads

Fairfax, VA-Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign has sent threatening letters to news agencies in Pennsylvania and Ohio to stop airing ads exposing his anti-gun record sponsored by the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF).

The kicker? NRA-PVF's Ohio’s ads have not yet begun running.

“Barack Obama and his campaign are terrified of the truth,” declared Chris W. Cox, Chairman of NRA-PVF. “Sen. Obama's statements and support for restricting access to firearms, raising taxes on guns and ammunition and voting against the use of firearms for self-defense in the home are a matter of public record. NRA-PVF will make sure that everyone knows of Obama's abysmal record on guns and hunting.”

The Obama campaign sent cease and desist letters to news outlets in Pennsylvania and Ohio, denouncing the ads and demanding their removal from the airwaves. All stations where NRA-PVF has purchased or plans to purchase ads have been provided with documented evidence of Sen. Obama's anti-gun record.

Barbara West Joe Biden VIDEO and TRANSCRIPT

ORLANDO, Florida WFTV Channel 9's Barbara West Interviews Joe Biden (10/23/08), Barbara West writes her own questions. Senator Obama released a statement through Florida spokesperson Adrianne Marsh:
"This campaign has now spanned 21 months and Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and Joe and Jill Biden have done countless tough interviews and they've answered every single question. Let's be clear: This station's interview with Joe Biden wasn't tough -- it was just absurd."
FULL TEXT TRANSCRIPT

WEST: I know you’re in North Carolina now trying to help get out the vote but aren’t you embarassed by the blatant attempts to register phony voters by ACORN, an organization that Barack Obama has been tied to in the past?

BIDEN: I am not embarassed by it. We are not tied to it. We have not paid them one single penny to register a single solitary voter. We have the best get out the vote operation in modern history. We’ve registered the voters ourselves and so there is no relationship. So I am embarassed for anybody in ACORN who went out there and registered somebody who shouldn’t be registered. I’m not embarrassed by our campaign because we haven’t paid ACORN a single penny to register a single voter.

WEST: But in the past Senator...

BIDEN: Those are the facts.

WEST: But in the past, Senator Obama was a community organizer for ACORN. He was an attorney for ACORN and certainly in the Senate, he has been a benefactor for ACORN.

BIDEN: How has he been a benefactor for ACORN? He was a community organizer. John McCain stood before ACORN not long ago complimented them on the great work they did. Does that make John McCain complicit in any mistake that ACORN made? C’mon. Let’s get real here.

WEST: Okay, moving onto the next question. Senator Obama now famously told Joe the Plumber he wanted to spread his wealth around. A Gallup polls showed 84% of Americans prefer government focus on improving financial conditions and creating more jobs in the U.S. as opposed to taking steps to distribute wealth. Isn’t Senator Obama’s statement a potentially crushing political blunder?

BIDEN: Absolutely not. What the only person who's spread the wealth around has been George Bush and John McCain’s tax policy. They have devastated the middle class. We for the first time since the late 20’s, 1% of the american people make over 21% of all the income in America. That wasn’t the way before George Bush became president. All we want is the middle class to once again have a fighting chance. That’s why we focus all of our efforts on restoring the middle class and giving them a tax break. And John McCain doubles down on Bush’s tax cut and that's $300 billion in new tax cuts for the largest companies in America. and the wealthiest americans. We don’t think that’s the way to do it. We think give the middle class a break. That’s the way to do it.

WEST: You may recognize this famous quote. From each according to his abilities to each according to his needs. That’s from Karl Marx. How is Senator Obama not being a Marxist if he intends to spread the wealth around?

BIDEN: Are you joking? Is...is this a joke?

WEST: No.

BIDEN: Is that a real question?

WEST: that’s a question.

BIDEN: (laughing) He is not spreading the wealth around. He's talking about giving the middle class an opportunity to get back the tax breaks they used to have. What has happened just this year, people making $1.4 million dollars average, the top 1%, good, decent American people, are gonna get an $87 billion tax cut. A new one on top of last year. We think the people should be getting that tax break are not redistribute the wealth up, we think middle class tax payers should get a tax break. That’s what we think. It’s a ridiculous comparison with all due respect.

WEST: Now you recently said “Mark my words. It'll not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama.” But what worries many people is your caveat asking them to stand with him because it's not going to be apparent initially that he's right. Are you forewarning Americans that nothing will get done and that America’s days as a world’s leading power are over?

BIDEN: No, I’m not at all. I don’t know who’s writing your questions but let me make it clear to you. The fact of the matter is that everyone has aknowledged, from Colin Powell on, that the next president of the United States is going to be tested, whether it’s John McCain and or, or it's Barack Obama. The reason is our weakened position in the world. We’re stretched thin throughout the world. Our economy is in freefall right now. And they’re gonna be tested every president is tested, and the point I was making is that Barack Obama is much better prepared to handle whatever crisis is going to be than John McCain be... John was wrong in Iraq saying we'd be greeted as liberators, we'd be out of there, wrong in afganistan saying we were already succeeded, worng in North Korea saying the president shouldn't negotiate. Barak Obamas' been right, John McCains' been wrong that was my point, Barak Obama is more ready than John McCain.

WEST: Getting back to the spreading the wealth question. What do you say to the people who are concerned that Barak Obama will want to turn American into a socialist country much like Sweden.

BIDEN: I don't know anybody who thinks that except in the far right wing of the Republican Party.

WEST: Okay Senator Biden thank you very much

Video Text From Uploader: DhimmiTube666, WFTV Channel 9's Barbara West puts Joe Biden on the hot seat over ACORN, voter fraud, and Barack Obama's "Spread the wealth" comments, and even asks if Obama is a "Marxist".

Joe Biden was so upset, that he had the Obama campaign cancel an interview the station had scheduled with his wife, Jill, along with all future interviews.

The Orlando Sentinel reports:

"Why did Barack Obama's campaign cancel a WFTV-Channel 9 interview with Jill Biden, wife of Sen. Joe Biden? The campaign cited an unprofessional interview WFTVs Barbara West did Thursday with Joe Biden. In a statement Friday, Adrianne Marsh, Florida spokeswoman for Obamas campaign, said the station, in talking with Sen. Biden, was both combative and woefully uninformed about simple facts. Marsh said Wests insistence that Obama was an organizer for ACORN was 100 percent false. In a line of questioning that would make Rush Limbaugh proud, West even went as far as to quote Karl Marx, a Communist icon, in a disturbing attempt to associate Barack Obama with socialism, Marsh wrote. West said, "I think I asked him some pointed questions... I dont think I was rude or inconsiderate to him." From: DhimmiTube666 Added: October 25, 2008

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Americans from all walks of life are continuing to feel the effects of the financial crisis. In recent weeks, concerns about the availability of credit, the safety of financial assets, and the volatility of the stock market have made many families understandably anxious about their economic future.

The Federal government has taken bold action to stabilize our economy. Earlier this month, my Administration worked with Congress to pass bipartisan legislation that is providing funds to help banks rebuild capital and resume lending. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has temporarily guaranteed most new debt issued by insured banks, which will make it easier for these banks to borrow needed money. And the Federal Reserve is launching a new program to provide support for commercial paper -- a key source of short-term financing for America's businesses and financial institutions. These steps are beginning to show results, but it will take time for their full impact to be felt.

In coordination with the United States, many other nations have taken similar steps to address turbulence in their domestic markets. This crisis is global in reach -- and addressing it will require further international cooperation. So this week, I consulted with leaders from throughout the world and announced that I would convene an international summit in Washington on November the 15th.

This summit will be the first in a series of meetings aimed at addressing this crisis. The summit will bring together leaders of the G20 nations -- countries that represent both the developed and the developing world. And the summit will also include the heads of the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the Financial Stability Forum, as well as the Secretary General of the United Nations.

During this summit, we will discuss the causes of the problems in our financial systems, review the progress being made to address the current crisis, and begin developing principles of reform for regulatory bodies and institutions related to our financial sectors. While the specific solutions pursued by every country may not be the same, agreeing on a common set of principles will be an essential step towards preventing similar crises in the future.

As we focus on responses to our short-term challenges, our nations must also recommit to the fundamentals of long-term economic growth -- free markets, free enterprise, and free trade. Open market policies have lifted standards of living and helped millions of people around the world escape the grip of poverty. These policies have shown themselves time and time again to be the surest path to creating jobs, increasing commerce, and fostering progress. And this moment of global economic uncertainty would be precisely the wrong time to reject such proven methods for creating prosperity and hope.

Despite the ups and downs that our markets have experienced in recent months, the American people have reason for optimism in our Nation's economic future. Throughout our history, we have seen that when Americans are given the freedom to apply their talents and imagination, prosperity and success follow closely behind. For over two centuries, that principle has allowed our economy to overcome every obstacle it has faced. And we can all be confident that it will do so again.

Thank you for listening. # # #

Buenos Días.

Estadounidenses de todas las profesiones y condiciones sociales siguen sintiendo los efectos de la crisis financiera. En las últimas semanas, inquietudes sobre la disponibilidad de crédito, de la seguridad de bienes financieros y de la volatilidad del mercado de valores han hecho que muchas familias estén justificadamente preocupadas sobre su futuro económico.

El gobierno federal ha tomado acción audaz para estabilizar nuestra economía. A principios de mes, mi Administración colaboró con el Congreso para aprobar legislación bipartita que está proporcionando fondos para ayudar a los bancos a reconstruir su capital y volver a prestar. La Corporación Federal de Seguro de Depósitos ha garantizado temporalmente toda nueva deuda emitida por bancos asegurados, lo cual facilitará a estos bancos prestar dinero que se necesite. Y la Reserva Federal está lanzando un nuevo programa para apoyar a los valores comerciales - una fuente clave de financiamiento a corto plazo para negocios e instituciones financieras estadounidenses. Estas medidas comienzan a dar resultados, pero hará falta tiempo para que se sienta su impacto pleno.

En coordinación con los Estados Unidos, muchas otras naciones han tomado pasos similares para enfrentar la turbulencia en sus mercados domésticos. Esta crisis es global en su alcance - y se requiere más cooperación internacional para resolverla. Por lo tanto esta semana consulté con líderes de todo el mundo y anuncié que convocaría una cumbre internacional en Washington el 15 de noviembre.

Esta cumbre será la primera en una serie de reuniones con el propósito de tratar con esta crisis. La cumbre juntará a líderes de las naciones G-20 - países que representan tanto al mundo desarrollado como al mundo en vías de desarrollo. Y la cumbre también incluirá los directores del Fondo Monetario Internacional, el Banco Mundial y el Foro para la Estabilidad Financiera, así como el Secretario General de las Naciones Unidas.

Durante esta cumbre, discutiremos las causas de los problemas en nuestros sistemas financieros... apreciaremos el progreso que se está logrando para afrontar la crisis actual... y comenzaremos a elaborar principios de reforma para cuerpos e instituciones reglamentarias relacionadas a nuestros sectores financieros. Aunque las soluciones específicas llevadas a cabo por cada país quizás no sean las mismas, el ponerse de acuerdo sobre una serie común de principios será un paso fundamental para evitar crisis similares en el futuro.

Al enfocarnos en respuestas a nuestros retos a corto plazo, nuestras naciones deben también volver a comprometerse a los fundamentos del crecimiento económico a largo plazo - mercados libres, libre empresa y libre comercio. Las políticas de mercados abiertos han aumentado los estándares de vida y han ayudado a millones de personas en todo el mundo a escapar las garras de la pobreza. Estas políticas se han mostrado constantemente como el camino más seguro para crear empleos, aumentar el comercio y fomentar el progreso. Y este momento de incertidumbre en la economía global sería precisamente un mal momento para rechazar métodos comprobados para crear prosperidad y esperanza.

A pesar de los altos y bajos que han afectado a nuestros mercados en meses recientes, el pueblo estadounidense tiene motivo de optimismo para el futuro económico de nuestra Nación. A lo largo de nuestra historia, hemos visto que cuando se les da a los estadounidenses la libertad de aplicar sus talentos e imaginación, la prosperidad y el éxito seguirán muy de cerca. Para más de dos siglos, ese principio ha permitido a nuestra economía superar todos los obstáculos que ha enfrentado. Y podemos estar confiados que lo hará una vez más.

Gracias por escuchar.
