    I don't believe in coincidences. The day after our president allows some punk television talk show host to call him dude, he is handed the chance to elevate himself to the level of President of the United States of America by talking to the country about a dangerous exploding package threat from terrorists. It's hogwash.
    There is another reason it is hogwash too. None of them exploded causing an aircraft to crash. One does not do a dry run with explosives in packages because it is a procedure controlled by people. In other words, someone else decides the measures put in place. Doing a dry run, causes extra procedures and more people be put in place causing failure. Intelligent people (terrorists) would send out at least 100 and close to 500 actual explosive devices straight from the get go with no dry run to alert the enemy.
    President Obama is a liar and creating false situations to make himself like a president before midterm voting. Not going to work, people have decided he's a one term president.

    Business Cash Advances Should You Get One ?
    Business cash loans is another option and many businesses opt for these quick and easy loans just to help steer them into the clear. The problem is that cash loans tend to be extremely expensive and unless your business fires back up you can be left with some serious debt to cover. It also comes with heavy monthly repayments that you have to be able to keep up with.
