I've been searching and can't find anything on this guy except he has his own website and blog, etc. People are passing this info around left and right but even though I'm an Obama girl I'd like some proof or even some credentials about the writer.

BARACK'S BRILLIANT PLAN
Obama's Economic Rescue Package So On The Mark It Would Be A True Game Changer, In A Good Way
by Ben F. Terton
October 14, 2008 – Half a decade. That's how long I've waited to write this article.
snip-
Senator Obama's plan was shocking for many reasons. So far ahead in the race, it was unexpected that he would release such a bold, detailed plan. But more than that, it was truly shocking to see, for the first time in a generation, a politician hit a mark so directly on the head. Delivering exactly to the true middle class, rather than to either the poorer people or the richer, Obama's simple, relatively cheap economic rescue plan, if enacted, would immediately and significantly alter the course of the American economy for the better.
Here's why this plan blows all previous ones away.
The first part is pretty simple and only somewhat significant. His offer of tax cuts directly tied to the creation of new jobs - offering $3000 per new job created in America. For years one of the things I pointed out as a flaw in the conservative dogma was that they claimed giving tax cuts to businesses would create jobs, but they never attached any mechanism to the cuts that made it so. They simply handed money to companies, which could decide to use the money for bonuses for their CEO's - which is what they did - rather than create jobs. If they truly wanted to use tax cuts to business to create jobs, I wrote for years, there had to be something in the cuts that required them to be used for hiring.
Obama's plan does exactly that. And notice the last part of his plan - "$3000 per new job created in America." Previous cuts allowed companies to spend their cash overseas. Obama explicitly stops this.

His "'A"-Bomb" Policy Will Leave President Bush Defenseless And Done
by Ben F. Terton
March 25, 2004 – It’s no secret, and yet it is flying below the radar.
Kerry has been giving feints that his campaign will be one of criticizing Bush on Iraq and promoting his own middle-class tax cuts. The Bush campaign expects to paint Kerry as weak for not supporting defense spending and as a big-taxer who will roll back their tax cuts and, somehow by doing that, kill the economy.
We at The Moderate Independent are sorry to inform you, but this will in no way be the shape of the debate this election. President Bush will be disarmed, assailed and completely unable to defend himself, against the Kerry campaign centerpiece that the Senator’s camp has been holding under their cloaks so far in the campaign.
While President Bush can boast of spending and shooting, Kerry will be clearly able to show only he has an actual plan to solve the problems in the Middle East – and a plan the whole nation knows President Bush never could or would implement.
While President Bush can say, “Give my tax cuts more time,” John Kerry will be able to concretely and clearly demonstrate he has a plan to greatly increase the wealth of America and create a massive bounty of new jobs.
