Who Will Be the Next President? - Your Opinion Counts

Who Will Be the Next President? - Your Opinion Counts


It seems like the candidates have been campaigning for the Presidency for years. Well that’s because they have been for the past two years.

The presidential race has been extremely competitive and at times has been very heated between the candidates and their supporters.

Supporters have become very passionate for the candidate of their choice.

We are now in the final weeks of the campaign. With Election Day on November 4th, we will be selecting the next president of the United States.

After three debates, and all of the campaigning, the latest polls are not very consistent with the numbers and who they are predicting to win the election, when you consider the margin of error in the polls is + or – 3%.

Who’s leading in the Polls? Some polls have Barack Obama winning the election while other polls have John McCain winning. Some polls have Barack Obama winning in a landslide. The question becomes who will be the president of the United States?

What is your Opinion as to who will be the next president of the United States?

An open message to Mr. Edward M. Liddy, Chairman and CEO of AIG

An open message to Mr. Edward M. Liddy, Chairman and CEO of AIG


Last month the United States Government stepped in with taxpayer’s money to save AIG. The bailout is costing the U.S. taxpayer Eighty Five Billion Dollars ($85,000,000,000.00) with the first request.

In addition, AIG has requested an additional $37,800,000,000.00 in loans. In round numbers AIG is operating with over $100 billion dollars of taxpayer’s money.

My concern is AIG is wasting my money and my fellow Americans money on excess and out of date practices in our challenging times. It’s amazing that your company is so out of touch with the reality of the times.

It’s been widely reported that:

There was an $86,000.00 hunting trip in England, and a taxpayer funded $440,000.00 weekend California retreat.

That is over half a million on just two examples of excess spending by AGI. Is there more?

The Board of Directors and the company’s management is in charge of protecting the company’s assets and the shareholders. My fellow American’s and I are now shareholders, as a result of the bailout, and I would like to see our interests protected.

Sincerely,

Lou Ludwig
American Taxpayer

What Does Nancy Pelosi and Real Estate Sales Professionals Have In Common?

What Does Nancy Pelosi and Real Estate Sales Professionals Have In Common?

Today I was working in my office with the television on in the back ground to follow the bank bail out and the pending vote.

Being involved in both the real estate and new homes sales profession I was listening with great interest regarding the outcome for the country financial heath and business.

From every indication it appeared that the bill to bail out the banks would be approved today.

Just before the vote Nancy Pelosi make a speech that may have contributed to the bill being not passed.

Did Nancy Pelosi Talk Herself Out of A Sale?

As we see so often sales professionals talk themselves out of a sale after it’s made, and that may be what happened today. Nancy Pelosi had the bill sold to both parties before the vote and her speech.

What happened today can be a learning experience for real estate sales professionals.

Follow the professional selling process. Make you case for the property, sell the benefits confirm the prospect wants the home and close the sale and make the customer feel good about buying the home.

Proactive listing is a key to selling following the 80-20 rule of listening 80% of the time to understand and know your customer.

Do you feel that Nancy Pelosi make her customers on both side of the aisle feel good about buying the product (the bill)?

Politics is Selling

I sensed that what I was watching today was not in the best interest of the country, but that of selling a political position.

It time to speak out on your position to your elected representatives to get the job done and done right.

Is Our Food Safe?

Is Our Food Safe?


Nearly 13,000 children have been reported sick from tainted milk in China.

The Associated Press has reported today that nearly 12,900 children have been hospitalized in China as a result of drinking tainted milk. It has also been reported that 104 of the children are in serious condition.

The milk has been exported to other counties around the world but the Chinese government has said that the milk has not been imported into the United States.

The Chinese Health Ministry has confirmed the story.

The milk in question is powered milk used for babies. The issue with the milk is the bi-products that are added to the milk.

Considering that these bi-products have been added to baby formula what assurances are there that these bi-products have not been added to other food products?

How Safe is our food?

Over the past couple of years, the United States has experienced tainted food products imported from around the world including vegetables, shrimp, fish, and baby food.

There are also non-food product issues such as, lead in toys, asbestos in clothes and bedding, anti-freeze bi-products in toothpaste, issues with medicine, and pet food.

Who’s Inspecting Our Food?

It appears that the United States government has now outsourced the inspection of our food to foreign governments.

What should the government’s responsibility be?

Where is the Concern for the Safety of our Imported Foods?

Who should be responsible for inspecting imported foods, the U.S. Government or the country of origin?

Who should be responsible for the heath, safety, and welfare of the people in our country?

Should we be outsourcing the inspection of the food supply coming into our country?

We Have to Ask?

With all of the rich farmland and resources available in the United States should we be importing what we can produce ourselves?

Is it important to think about the health, safety, and welfare of the people in the U.S.?

What about creating jobs and keeping the money in the country?

Over the years the history of Yankee Stadium has been relived throughout the generations by storytelling from baseball enthusiasts.

■Don Larsen pitching and winning the only World Series perfect game in 1955
■The Brooklyn Dodgers winning their first World Series in 1955 at Yankee Stadium
■Roger Maris 61st home run

The memories are long and storied and the players read like a who’s who in baseball including, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra and Reggie Jackson just to mention a few.

What is your favorite memory of Yankee Stadium?

Do you have a special story that you would like to share?

Hurricane Ike-It Looks Like a Disaster In the Making

Hurricane Ike-It Looks Like a Disaster In the Making

I just sat down in the family room and turned the TV on to check the hurricane coverage for hurricane Ike, it appears that we are about to see a disaster much larger then New Orleans with Katrina.

I can’t believe that after the residents were told that they would face death if they stayed there are thousands of people on the Galveston Island.

They just interviewed a business owner on Galveston Island that was in his business with a number of his friends. At the time of the telephone interview at about 10:20 EST there was five feet of water and rising in his store and they were on the second floor with one more floor to go to which would be fifteen feet above sea level. The storm surge is projected to be fifteen to twenty feet.

The report on the news said there are thousands of people that did not leave and they are in immediate danger of losing their lives.

It also appears the entire island will be under water from the Gulf of Mexico to the bay.

Also they announced that a levy has just let go in Louisiana and hundreds of homes are flooding.

This looks worst then what was projected and I hope I’m wrong.

Why are so Many People Talking about Sarah Palin?

Why are so Many People Talking about Sarah Palin?


Since Sarah Palin was announced last week as the vice president candidate it appears almost any conversation regarding the presidential election turns to Sarah Palin.

There seems to be a large number of people that are discussing and supporting her. There are also a large number of women that say they will vote for her.

What I’m hearing from this group of people is that they like the idea that she’s a Washington outsider and a fresh face.

What are your thoughts?

Sarah Palin A Power Moment and Quote

Sarah Palin A Power Moment and Quote


Did you have an opportunity to see and hear Vice President Candidate Sarah Palin speak at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night?

During that speech she made a short but memorable quote.

Palin asked the attendees, “What is the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull?” She responded, “Lipstick.”

I sense Sarah Palin is a pit bull with lipstick and that she would hold her own with anyone. I also understand that her nickname in high school was barracuda.

We are about to have a historical election and when the voting is done we will either have the first African American president or the first woman vice president in the White House.

Whats your thoughts?

The Cost of Inaction

Russian Investors are Alive and Well

Russian Investors are Alive and Well


Russian nationals are increasing their level of investments in the United States.

Looking at Recent Sales

Recently Donald Trump sold his estate in Palm Beach Florida for $100 million dollars. The buyer was a Russian fertilizer billionaire.

A New York condominium was also recently sold for $13.5 million to the president of a construction management and consulting firm from Moscow.

In addition, three furnished South Beach condominiums were sold for $5 million each to Russian nationals.

The examples above represent only three sales of many that involve Russian investors.

United States Seen as a Safe Harbor

Russian investors see the United States as a safe harbor for their money and their real estate investments.

As a result, we are seeing the willingness of Russian investors buying ultra luxury homes in the United States, but sales to Russian buyers and investors extend passed ultra luxury homes. They are also purchasing homes and condominiums in all price ranges through-out the United States.

When Russian buyers look for properties they look for enhanced security features including gated communities or gated entrances, video cameras, and underground parking.

Russian investors are also purchasing commercial properties.

International Customers

Selling to the international market is a niche market with unlimited business opportunities.
