Yeah, he may have to do something drastic...

What do you mean he may? He already has. He scared the American people into thinking that if him and the Congress did not pass the stimulus package, the economy would fall into an abyss, never to recover and that by passing it the national unemployment rate would not go above 8%. BTW, we are now at 9.7%

Obama is going to have a tough as hell challenge for re-election. He is in NO way going to be able to run the same campaign that he did in 2008. In 08 he ran against the establishment and in 2012 he will BE the establishment. By then his administration will truly own the economy, the war on terrorism, relations abroad, etc. He won’t be able to get away by blaming Bush, Clinton, Silly Old Joe Biden, an Alaska Governor or a Wise Latina.

However, there is a way that Obama can be reelected and we have been down this road before. A THIRD PARTY candidacy. If this happens, the Republicans are toast and the Democrats will maintain control of the White House. A third party candidate would gobble up some of the independent and Reagan Democrat votes, thus allowing Obama to win only a popular vote plurality, but a electoral college majority.

You can also create a postlets ad, copy and paste the HTML code into a CL ad. Seems easier if you do it that way.

We have been using myFax for three years now. An excellent service and a piece of cake to use.

The send a fax through email feature is sweet. I also like that I can get my faxes on the fly on another PC using a browser or my smartphone.

Post: How many properties in one LLC?

BTW, if we were talking commercial, I'd recommend one LLC per property.

To go even further, if your one of you businesses resides on the property, then I'd go with 2 LLCs. One for the business and one for the real property.

And, of course with any LLC, keep minutes, separate bank accounts, etc.

He will throw a strike on the mound. However, not as good as W. has done on numerous times.

Sarah Palin's political career is dead!...

Just like Richard Nixon's was in 1960 and Ronald Reagan's was in 1976.
