FOX News’ managing editor of Business News interviewed millionairess business magnate Martha Stewart this week. Cavuto asked Stewart who she was voting for and Martha responded she was voting for Obama. Silly question, mused Stewart. I made that “silly question” part up but it’s probably true.

Cavuto then asked the maven madam who turned homemaking into a marketing marvel what she thought of Obama’s moving toward socialism with higher taxes. Martha said the public (that’s you and me) doesn’t understand. Martha said the “poor” people,

“Need to suck it in and budget. And be more careful…how they spend their money.”

That is Martha Stewart’s answer to higher taxes from Obama. People will just have to suck it in and pay their taxes. I guess I’ll just have to hold off on those Martha Stewart Towels I’ve had my eye on.

Martha Stewart reminds me of the old ’80’s poster, “Poverty Sucks.”

Millionaires become millionaires by anticipating events and preparing for them.

Miami Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga said last Sunday he is preparing to sell up to 45% more of the team to co-owner Stephen Ross.

Huizenga said the presidential election is among the issues weighing on his dcecision. That’s because a Barack Obama administration is expected to mean higher capital gains taxes.

“He wants to double the capital gains tax, or almost double it,” Huizenga said. “I’d rather give it to charity than to him.”

“If you do it this year or you do it next year, the difference is humongous because of the taxes,” Huizenga said.

The Obama campaign disputed Huizenga’s figures, saying the candidate’s “plans are to raise the capital gains tax maximum from 15 percent to 20 percent — a 33 percent increase, not double. And the top rate would be for families earning more than $250,000 or individuals earning more than $200,000.”

That should make Mr. Huizenga and the rest of happy. Instead of a 50% increase in the capital gains tax, it’s only a 33% increase.

And if you believe that, I have a bridge for sale in Brooklyn.

Newspapers and television networks across the nation are all reporting a spike in gun sales. Gun dealers are reporting sales are up by at least 10%.

CBS News in their report tried to make a lame attempt that a portion of the increase in gun sale sales is due to concerns about the economy. That dog don’t hunt. CBS does get it right in the end. The increase in gun sales is driven by fears that if Barack Obama is elected president, he will join with fellow Democrats in Congress to enact new gun controls. CBS should just be frank and honest and say that if Obama is elected with a Harry Reid run Senate and a Nancy Pelosi run House, the 2nd Amendment is in peril of being repealed.

CBS said that more than three dozen interviews with gun dealers and buyers in Virginia and Maryland and with experts nationwide indicated that the increase in gun sales appears to be driven predominantly by concerns about the presidential election. 

“I think right now people are scared Obama is going to take their rights away,” said Margaret Marcus, who was carrying a Glock 19 9mm semiautomatic pistol under a blue jean jacket embroidered with “Winnie the Pooh” characters. “He’s definitely anti-gun, despite what you see in the mainstream media.”

The Pittsburgh Leader Times reports that a number of gun owners apparently agree with the National Rifle Association’s position: Barack Obama is “…the most anti-gun presidential candidate in American history.” With that thought in mind, many gun owners are “stocking up” on guns and ammo in anticipation of gun bans should Obama win the presidential election next Tuesday.

Harvey Wingard of Harvey Wingard Guns said that many people expressed their willingness to hide guns in the event of a nationwide registration or confiscation program. He said many people he knows believe that a gun confiscation program is in the offing if the Democrats win.

During his first run for the Illinois Senate in 1996, Mr. Obama said on a candidate questionnaire that he supported legislation to “ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns.”

Last month at a political event in Duryea, PA., a woman in the crowd told Obama she had “heard a rumor” that he might be planning some sort of gun ban if elected president.

“If you’ve got a gun in your house, I’m not taking it,’’ Obama said. But the Illinois senator could still see skeptics in the crowd, particularly on the faces of several men at the back of the room.

So he tried again. “Even if I want to take them away, I don’t have the votes in Congress,’’ he said.

With the Democratic Party on the cusp to a filibuster-proof 60 seat majority in the Senate in this election, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi projecting an additional 20 to 30 House seats to Democrats, what do you think the odds are now of keeping your guns?

Last week the Obama campaign shut out Orlando, Florida television station WFTV-Channel 9 from further interviews because they “didn’t like” the questions posed to Joe Biden. The Obama campaign said “This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely at best…”

Today the Obama campaign has decided to heave out three large metropolitan newspapers from its plane for the final few days of the campaign because…because all three newspapers endorsed John McCain for president.

The New York Post, the Washington Times and the Dallas Morning News have been told to move out by Sunday to make room for network bigwigs, also know as drooling media clowns in the business of electing Barack Obama.

The reporters for the three newspapers are already planning how to cover the final days by flying comercial airlines or driving from event to event.

Welcome to Mr. Obama’s world.
