Unemployment up – nothing to see here… move along, shows over.

Private Sector Adds 67,000 Jobs

U.S. Economy Lost 54,000 Jobs in August; Unemployment Rate Rises to 9.6%

WASHINGTON — Job losses continued to mount in the U.S. economy last month, though at a more modest pace than expected, putting further pressure on policy makers to take action to spur growth and employment.

Nonfarm payrolls fell by 54,000 last month, matching the level of revised losses recorded the previous month, the U.S. Labor Department said Friday. The revision in July layoffs to 54,000 followed an original estimate of a 131,000 drop in payrolls.

Really are you shocked we’re still losing jobs under Obama? I know of no employer brave enough to add jobs or expand operations – most are hoarding what little money that are making along with doing the hide and watch – no one I know feels the economy is healthy enough to invest in or grow business in.

But don’t you worry this is the SUMMER OF RECOVERY! We are on the road to wealth and riches beyond our wildest dreams – the TRILLION dollar stimulus is working and if you believe in of that I have some swamp land land in Texas to sell you – cheap.

You know what can I say that hasn’t been said? Obama couldn’t effectively run a lemonade stand better yet the American economy so all we can do is keep him from reaping anymore damage on the country and try an fix it when he is tossed from office and yet this White house still wants you to believe that what they are doing is working? Please…

Obama’s Speech

Did you watch Dopey’s speech the other night? No, me neither.

I saw highlights of his speech if you can call it highlights – he looks bored and tired – like he’d rather be shooting hoops- guess he needs a vacation from all of his vacations. Naturally Obama failed to thank Bush or give him any credit for the surge in Iraq – what a classless piece of crap he is. 10,000 bloggers has posted about this so I won’t add to the list. I will say there are people in this world I really don’t like – I mean REALLY don’t like but I go out of my way to say something nice when asked or force to mention them. So I’d think that the President of the United States could muster a little class and admit that Bush’s plan worked like it or not, but then he would have to admit that based on his comments from the Senate he was wrong again – but I have yet to see anything he has been correct about thus far.

But as you know class and Obama mix and mingle like oil and water and since I’d rather take a nap than listen to Obama babble about things he doesn’t understand -  that’s what I did during his speech. I took a nap.

Let them eat Spam

Obamas Depleting U.S. Lobster Supply

So how much lobster are you having during these precarious economic times? What? You’ve had to cut back? No longer ordering it stuffed with crab meat, at least?

Well, if you happen to be the President of the United States or the First Lady, your lobster consumption is continuing at a robust pace.

I don’t know what it is in Obama’s world but around here lobster is about $10/lbs and you know this guy isn’t cooking his own – oh no you’re paying for it, to be bought, cooked and served. So let me ask you – when was the last time you had lobster? I mean a big meaty tail and claws – not some little bits served up in a Chinese dinner. For me and I love lobster – I could eat it every week, but I don’t think I could pin point the last time I had a lobster if I had to guess it was over a year ago in Florida and that was a Caribbean spiny lobster which lacks the big juicy meaty claws and this clown is eating it all the time – and lets not forget the Kobe beef too.

It goes on…

According to ABC’s Jake Tapper, the president savored some lobster tempura at the trendy State Road Restaurant in West Tisbury on Martha’s Vineyard. Oh, just the thought of it. If he brings some back to the White House for me, I’ll write whatever he wants.

Lobster tempura? You don’t do that to lobster – you don’t batter up and deep fry lobster and then drown it in some over powering soy based dipping sauce! That’s just wrong! For God sake it’s lobster, not popcorn shrimp.

Monday night at The Sweet Life Cafe in Oak Bluffs on the Vineyard it was the lobster pasta appetizer for the president and a surf and turf entrée – the “surf” being a lobster tail – for Mrs. Obama.

And what would the vacation to Maine in July have been without a taste of everyone’s favorite crustacean. The president did it in a little less genteel fashion that time, heading over to something called Stewman’s Downtown restaurant where he was served the “Lobster Experience” dinner – just regular lobster, corn and slaw.

Poor thing… just a regular lobster dinner with corn and slaw – what no Lobster Thermidor, Lobster Newburg – no Chilled Lobster With Mimosa Dressing… oh the humanity!

But the Obamas’ lobster experience is not confined to these shores. Michelle Obama was barely off the plane during her voyage early this month to the Spanish Riviera when, according to the Spanish press, she dived into a feast of sea bass tartare, strawberry gazpacho and sardines, and a main course of lobster with seaweed risotto.

Oh where is my Thurston Howell III voice at … sea bass tartare (that’s minced raw meat), strawberry gazpacho and sardines, and a main course of lobster with seaweed risotto – eww I hope the strawberry gazpacho and sardines were two different dishes – but at least risotto and lobster goes together. However I’d prefer an al dente orzo over risotto – but what do I know I’m just a hick from the country eating mudbugs and gator meat.

Michelle enjoyed the repast so much that she was right back at it on August 14 during the Obamas’ two-day Panama City, Fla photo-op vacation. There, at the Firefly restaurant, it was more lobster for Michelle.

Has this hog had a look in the mirror? She needs to lay of the lobster dripping in ghee and look into a diet heavy on the tofu because her “see-food” diet isn’t working. My God doesn’t she know there are children in Africa that have no ass.

The Obamas were supposed to be showing support for the good people of the oil spill-stricken Gulf, eating their seafood and so forth. So the big question is, was it a Caribbean lobster or one shipped down from Maine?

And who knows what lobster delicacies the White House chef is whipping up for them in between vacations?

No wonder the Russians just started fueling the Iranian nuclear reactor at Bushehr. When President Medvedev was here, Obama took him for burgers.

Well at least it wasn’t Borscht otherwise we’d be looking at mutually assured destruction right now.

Here is the deal – Obama knows he is an one term’er and he is going to milk the perks of being president for all it’s worth – I’d expect to see him and lard-ass take a lot more vacation before he is gone. I think Obama thought the job was like the campaign trail – all talk, adoring crowds and play with no real responsibilities and now that he is in office he doesn’t want it so the easiest thing to do is go on vacation and he does that quite well.

Question is how many more lobsters will be murdered at the hands of the Obama’s – can’t they eat spam?

(Pay attention at the 0:36 mark)

Joe ‘Bite Me’ Biden verses the Reality

First I want to say that I truly hope Joe Biden gets help for his drug problem – clearly after many of his remarks, he’s on them. Get help Joe – you need it.

Anyway I guess you heard what Bite Me said now…

Biden: ‘We’ve seen this movie before’

“For eight years before we arrived in the West Wing, Mr. Boehner and his party ran the economy literally into the ground,” he said. “We’ve seen this movie before, Mr. Boehner. We’ve seen it before and we know how it ends.”

Really?

Biden conceded that the economic recovery was not proceeding as fast as the administration had hoped, but claimed there was “no doubt we’re moving in the right direction.”

Problem is they’ve never said which direction they hope to go – if it’s down then that’s a true statement, otherwise it’s a lie.

Yeah that prior eight year really sucked deficit wise compared to Obama – what about unemployment? (NOTE: Bush spent way more than I liked but he was a rank amateur compared to Obama’s spending.)

Gee seems the unemployment under Bush was on average about 5.3% and under Obama it has been on average above 9.5% with a real unemployment rate is way over double that at 22% yeah the good old days they were horrible – if you were HOPING to be unemployed – but don’t worry Obama CHANGED that. Now unemployment is easy.

Well I’m sure Obama’s tax plan will make everything OK – right?

Obama’s Tax Plan: Bad for Economic Growth

Small businesses that employ the most workers would be particularly hard-hit if the top income tax rates go up.

Ok – well I was wrong about that – what else? Well BiteMe let’s have a look at some of the great leap forwards under Dopey and Thief…

Foreclosure rates surge, biggest jump in 5 years

More homes were taken over by banks and scheduled for a foreclosure sale than in any quarter going back to at least January 2005, when RealtyTrac began reporting the data, the firm said.

U.S. Bankruptcy Rate Skyrockets

The financial crisis just won’t go away. It has manifested itself in the poor performance of the housing market, the failure of hundreds of banks and an unemployment surge. One more problem that has emerged as a result of the recession is the soaring rate of bankruptcy filings across the nation. Bankruptcy filings rose by 20% in the past year, according to the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. A stunning total surpassing 1.5 million bankruptcy cases were processed between June 2009 and June 2010, up from about 1.3 million in the prior 12-month period.

CD Rates are Falling: Bad News for Savers

The news of low overall interest rates could be good for borrowers and not so good for savers. Borrowers can look forward to paying lower fees when returning money on a loan which will them help pay off debt more quickly.

Savers are not so lucky. If you are living on a budget and stashing away money for later in CDs, you will not see high returns on those accounts. Many economists don’t see the problem improving in upcoming years. It can be frustrating if you are attempting to be responsible with your finances but not seeing much in return.

Food stamp use hit record 40.8m in May (2010)

The number of Americans who are receiving food stamps rose to a record 40.8 million in May as the jobless rate hovered near a 27-year high, the government reported yesterday.

Number of Houston homeless children increasing at rapid rate

According to statistics released in 2009 by the Coalition for the Homeless of Houston/Harris County, 2,891 homeless children lived in the Houston area. That number has nearly doubled in 2010, as 5,404 children have been reported homeless so far this year.

The number of Americans who are receiving food stamps rose to a record 40.8 million in May as the jobless rate hovered near a 27-year high, the government reported yesterday.

Tell me Joe do I really need to go on? We are on to your bullshit delusional lies and propaganda that things are better now than they were under Bush – Obama and Biden cannot point to a single success that their policies have yielded – not one! Oh the liberals will say the auto bailout was a success… really is it? GM is desperate to shake the “Government Motors” image and get out from under their thumb. How about the “Cash for Clunkers” program it was a fail. Oh they will say that Obama’s long delayed surge in Afghanistan was a success – a surge that fell 10′s of 1000′s of troops short resulting in a troop death increased to record levels under Obama. So tell me Joe what have you and the other idiot in office done that has worked? Where are the jobs? Where is the growth? Where is the booming economy? How about a easy one for the great communicator – foreign policy – how’s that working out? Not to good huh? So where are your successes Joe, where?

Don’t buy anything that comes out of this administration – the only truth I’ve heard is the claim of the “Fundamental Transformation of America” they just didn’t finish the sentence which said… ‘into a third world, third rate country.’

Yeah Joe, we’ve seen this movie you speak of before and you have too and it was shown in November 1994 and it will see it again this November when you tax and spend progressive morons are sent packing back under the rock from which you came. Remember Joe – what Nancy Reagan said “Just say no to drugs.” It’s good advice, take it.

Reality just ate Biden’s lunch.

Dissecting the APObama

Obama a Muslim? Rumors gain steam, defying facts

By HILLEL ITALIE
The Associated Press
Thursday, August 19, 2010; 10:00 PM

NEW YORK — “President Obama is a Muslim.” “He’s not an American citizen.” “He wasn’t even born here.”

None of this is true. But to surprising levels, it is believed.

And your proof is what? What Obama said? Oh he would never lie…

Blame it on the media, or on human nature. All presidents deal with image problems – that they’re too weak or too belligerent, too far left or far right. But Obama also faces questions over documented facts, in part because some people identify more with the rumormongers than the debunkers.

Questions over documented facts? No there are questions over documents and that’s the facts – there are none. Where are the college transcripts? Why didn’t the editor of the Harvard Law Review ever write a article? Where are the records from Occidental? The list goes on – the guy has a resume you could put on a Post-it.

“Trust and distrust – that explains almost all of it,” says Nicholas DiFonzo, professor of psychology at the Rochester Institute of Technology and an expert on rumor and gossip research. “We are in such a highly polarized political environment. Our country is sorting itself into more closely knit, opposing factions each year” – factions, DiFonzo suggests, that in turn become “echo chambers” for factoids that aren’t fact at all.

Again this professor guy is assuming his facts are right thus playing into his own rhetoric.

Nearly one in five people, or 18 percent, said they think Obama is Muslim, up from the 11 percent who said so in March 2009, according to a poll released Thursday. The proportion who correctly say he is a Christian is just 34 percent, down from 48 percent in March of last year.

Actually it’s one in five and the percentage is 24 percent. (You note that this Time article says “mistakenly believes” – they don’t know anymore than I do)

The White House even felt compelled to respond with a terse knockdown from spokesman Bill Burton: “The president is obviously a Christian. He prays every day.”

And so do Muslims, Buddhist, Taoist and 100′s of other religions – so tell me Bill what so obvious about that.

Obama is the Christian son of a Kenyan Muslim father and a Kansas mother. Born in Hawaii, he lived from ages 6 to 10 in predominantly Muslim Indonesia with his mother and Indonesian stepfather. His full name, Barack Hussein Obama, sounds Muslim to many.

Interestingly they fail to mention that his Indonesian father Lolo Soetoro was devout Muslim nor the fact his step-sister is a philosophically Buddhist.

Confusion about Obama’s religion was common, and sometimes encouraged, during the 2008 campaign. An Associated Press photograph that circulated on the Internet, and was posted on The Drudge Report, showed Obama dressed in traditional local garments – a white turban and a wraparound white robe – during a visit to Kenya in 2006. Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton may have contributed through her response to a question, during a “60 Minutes” interview, about whether he was a Muslim. “There’s nothing to base that on,” she said. “As far as I know.”

Well certainly 20 years in Jeremiah Wrights church clears things up about Obama faith…

Others have helped keep rumors about Obama’s religion and birth alive. Conservative commentators including radio talk show host Michael Savage have repeated debunked claims that Obama attended a radical Muslim madrassa in Indonesia. Rush Limbaugh has facetiously referred to “Imam Obama” in recent days, and last year praised a woman who at a Delaware town hall meeting questioned Obama’s citizenship. Lou Dobbs gave significant air time to such “birther” claims on CNN – despite his own insistence that he believed Obama was born in the U.S.

Hell Obama keeps the rumor alive with his actions, his refusal to release records and his pandering to the Muslim world while still two years in Washington has yet to go to church.

The new survey, conducted by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center and its affiliated Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, is based on interviews conducted before the controversy over whether Muslims should be permitted to construct a mosque near the World Trade Center site. Obama has said he believes Muslims have the right to build an Islamic center there, though he’s also said he won’t take a position on whether they should actually build it.

Isn’t stating a position taking a position? What kind of asinine double talk is that?

We have never been without misperceptions, but they are speeded and multiplied in the Internet age. Last month, right-wing bloggers – citing unnamed sources within the Laredo Police Department in Texas – reported that the Mexican drug cartel Zetas had captured two Laredo ranches. The story was picked up by author-pundit Michelle Malkin and other conservatives.

Inquiries from local media and the liberal Web site Talking Points Memo turned up different news: The raids never happened.

What the hell does that have to do with “Is Obama a Muslim?” I’m A.D.D. and can focus better than that.

“The Internet has made it worse,” says Lori Robertson, managing editor of the website FactCheck.org, a nonpartisan project run under the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania. “Any of these rumors are more rampant, and there’s more stuff about them – blogs writing about conspiracy theories. People are exposed to it more.”

Robertson says her organization has been asked hundreds of times about Obama’s religion, even after FactCheck published an explanatory article in early 2008 called “Sliming Obama.” It focused on the chain e-mail that many believe helped spread the lie.

Who fact checks FactCheck.org – never let a weasel guard the hen-house

Despite what the e-mail claimed, FactCheck.org has noted that Obama was sworn into office as a U.S. senator using the Bible instead of the Quran; a photograph was posted to prove it. FactCheck also posted videos of Obama reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in the Senate, in an attempt to counter claims that he refused.

Well gee I’m relieved he is a true red, white and blue American then – there is a picture and video online… case closed.

Still, the questions about Obama’s faith didn’t stop.

Don’t worry there are more questions about Obama than his faith that won’t stop, plenty more.

Let there be pain…

I know I haven’t posted in a few day – there has a been a lot going on that I really wish wasn’t, but tis life. I will not get into the who, what, when, where and why’s I will only say I pity the fool that crosses me.

So anyway, I stated this last week…

I don’t know about you but I’m sick of working my ass off to pay Federal government employees to set around and surf for porn, I’m sick of watching the Obama’s go on vacation after vacation and sending the tax payer the bill, I’m sick of seeing politicians go to Washington an average Joe (or Jane) and come back disconnected millionaires,  I’m sick of knowing that the average Federal government employee that works for us lowly tax payers makes on average twice what that of the average American and I’m sick of paying for the dead-weight and dredges of society to set around with their hand out looking for more. So I say start trimming the fat, start culling the slackers, start cleaning the house and let the pain begin – we tax payers have suffered long enough so to hell with share the wealth – it’s time to share the pain.

It seems every time the government talk about pain and sacrifice it never applies to them, it never applies to those with their hands out, it never applies to the career politician and it never applies to the L.I.F.E.R federal workers – (what’s a LIFER you may ask – it’s a military term for “Lazy Inconsiderate F***er’s Expecting Retirement”) Nope it only applies to the already over taxed worker in the 53 percentile that is just trying to get ahead. Well it’s time it stops and it’s time to start the sharing the wealth of the pain with those in Washington and the ones with their grubby little paws out chanting gemme, gemme, gemme. Let us check out a few links…

On occasion you’ll hear them talk about cutting entitlements out one side of their mouth while talking about expanding them out the other.

Dems may use food stamp money to pay for Michelle Obama’s nutrition initiative

Democratic leaders have voiced the hope that they will be able to stop them in future legislation.

And that’s all you need to know – they talk a big game and then quietly back track into wasting more money all a long. So while the Dems talk about cutting food stamps, just to turn around and talk about not cutting them – across the aisle the GOP wants to end anchor babies which I think most of us are all for according to most polls.

Boehner has said ending anchor babies is worth considering…

Boehner: End to Birthright Citizenship ‘Worth Considering’

House Minority Leader John Boehner on Sunday said he’s open to talks on changing the U.S. Constitution — or at least the way it’s interpreted — so that U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants are not automatically U.S. citizens.

“I think it’s worth considering,” Boehner said.

It’s not worth considering, it’s worth doing – no other country on earth allows you to become a citizen just by being born there – its time to end anchor babies. It’s time to send the illegal back from where they came and if the Federal government won’t do it, it’s time the states take charge and do the job the American Federal government doesn’t want to do – to toss their own turn a phrase in their face.

Anchor babies 8% of births in U.S. annually

As the phenomenon of so-called “anchor babies” — infants born to illegal aliens within the United States and its territories that automatically become citizens — becomes more of an election issue in many localities, a Pew poll reveals that 8 percent of babies born each year in the U.S. are anchor babies.

According to the Pew Hispanic Center, approximately 340,000 of the 4.3 million babies born in the United States in 2008 were the children of illegal aliens, many of whom emanate from Mexico.

In my world that qualifies as a invasion – and for me it doesn’t matter what country they come from Mexico, Canada, China, England etc – come to this country legally or get out – period.

And that’s just the start of it illegal cost the taxpayer an unbelievable amount of money.

Staggering Cost Of Illegal Aliens In America Taxpayers Taken To The Cleaners

This is not new it’s from 2008

The NRC found that the average immigrant household receives $13,326 in federal welfare and pays $10,664.00 in federal taxes. Thus, American taxpayers shell out $2,682.00 for each immigrant household.

In addition, the report showed that immigrants affect 15 different executive agencies of the U.S. government.

Earned Income Tax Credit-fraud is rampant and IRS does little to verify existence of children. Clean Air and Climate Change-these goals are unattainable as long as US population grows-driven by unending immigration. Emergency medical treatment-US taxpayer money provides $250 million a year to help hospitals defray costs for illegal aliens. Bureau of Land Management-the Interior Department spends $1 million to mitigate environmental damage done by illegals crossing US southern border. Migrant educational grants-intended to help states educate children of illegal workers. More fraud from over-counting. Office of Foreign Labor Certification-immigrant workers depress wages for US citizens resulting in declines in federal revenues at $100 billion annually.

So taking into account the amount of money being wasted on illegals – it’s time to cull the dead weight from the multitude of government hand out programs, it’s time to reduce food stamps and limit them to a few basic choices, it’s time to end government housing, government payments and provide those that are already lazy a way to stay that way. It’s not just illegals it’s mostly moocher Americans too.

It’s time to end endless unemployment do to tax and spend, anti business liberals – I have people ask me on occasion if I’d hire them and pay them cash so they can continue to draw their unemployment and they want $10, $15, $20 hour cash which is good money around here – to which I say if I hire you then you are no longer unemployed and if I find out you’re working for cash I’ll report you and who ever employs you as you are stealing from me – so you can get off the government tit and stop trying to double dip. Seriously who wants to hire anyone that has been slacking for over two years? I know I don’t.

But what do the idiot liberals do, extent unemployment again and again enabling the entitlement mentality to become ingrained.

These people in the White House promised that if the government spent a trillion of your dollars on stimulus unemployment would NOT go over 8% – well it did and it remains there and while the Moron in charge continues to blame Bush that excuse is running thin even with his base, most people don’t want excuses they want results…

Jobless millions signal death of the American dream for many

The headline jobless figure of 9.5% is bad enough but does not begin to convey the problem as it fails to measure those who have stopped looking for work. Over the past three months alone more than a million Americans have fallen into that category: effectively giving up hope of finding a job and dropping out of the official statistics. Such cases now number some 5.9 million and their ranks are likely to grow as millions more find their jobless status becoming a permanent state of hopelessness. Surveys show that with each passing week on the dole their chances of finding a job get slimmer.

How that HOPE and Change working out for you?

But aside from those that want to work verses those that want to mooch off the tit – the reality is nothing this man child has done has worked because he is clueless to basic business intelligence. Good Lord the man child never even had a paper route better yet ran an actual business.

So before I go all A.D.D. and get off the subject at hand I have to ask if Obama says America can no longer be the economic super power of the world, the driving force behind the worlds engine then how is it we can continue to afford to pay people to be worthless slugs? The money is not there, the money has been spend and the days of being spend happy drunkards are over it’s time to sober up cut the spending and pay the bills.

But to be clear…

Is every one getting help from the government a worthless mooch – no they are not but it’s a lot easier to find a system gamer or a fraud than it is to find someone who actually needs help – I say let charities and churches help those actually in need until we weed out the worthless as they are in a better position to weed out the fakes quickly without bureaucracy. The government on the other hand wants as many as dependent as they can get because when the government controls your money they control your life and political cowards want nothing more than a dependent masses – freedom is a threat to tyranny.

The pain of relearning self reliance must begin, it’s one thing to have a safety net for when you fall it’s another entirely to land on a Sleep Comfort bed – it’s been my experience in life that when you fall it hurts and you learn not to trip again – there are no lessons being taught today, they is no real pain in failure and there should be – sometime the failure is your fault, sometimes it’s not – that’s life and life is not fair and the soon people begin to relearn that basic fact the quicker this country gets back on the road.

Obama says it’s the Republicans that drove us into a ditch and now they want the keys back, he claim we are back on the road and he doesn’t think they need the keys back – well if this is the road I’d love to see their map, but I’ve got a pretty good idea what map they’re using and you’ll never get anyplace in America using a map of Europe or Russia where it seems Obama thinks we are.

President Handout losing the Poor

Even the Poor Are Abandoning Obama, According to Gallup Poll Data

In every week of his presidency until now, Barack Obama has enjoyed a majority approval rating in the Gallup Poll from people earning less than $2,000 per month. But that changed in the Gallup survey conducted from Aug. 2-8, when only 49 percent of Americans in that income bracket said they approve of the job Obama is doing.

I know a number of people making less than $20,000.00 a year – I even know several making less than $10,000.00 a year and out of those people I know a few who are sadly Obama fans, but when I explain what Obama is doing to damage the economy and how and keep the class warfare debate out of it and speak straight from an economic point of view they seems a little less impressed with The One – it seems from this latest poll they are others catching on.

For the week of Aug. 2-Aug. 8, only 42 percent of Americans earning $7,500 per month or more said they approve of the job Obama is doing. Forty-four percent of those earning between $5,000 and $7,499 said they approve of the job he is doing. And forty-six percent of those earning between $2,000 and $4,999 said they approve of the job he is doing.

This prove my theory that 2 out of 5 people are complete idiots and there really should be a season on them.

The higher the income bracket an American occupies, the sooner he or she was likely to stop approving of the job Obama was doing and the more likely he or she was to stop approving of the job Obama was doing.

The higher the income bracket the more likely they pay taxes – so I think “duh” covers that paragraph.

In May 2009, when Obama’s approval rating was at its peak among those earning less than $2,000 per month, the national unemployment rate was at 9.4 percent. It is now at 9.5 percent.

It’s a good thing we passed that trillion dollars in stimulus bill to keep it under 8% isn’t it? Oh wait…

Facts vs. Propaganda

First the FACTS -

Fed set to downgrade outlook for US

The Federal Reserve is set to downgrade its assessment of US economic prospects when it meets on Tuesday to discuss ways to reboot the flagging recovery.

Faced with weak economic data and rising fears of a double-dip recession, the Federal Open Market Committee is likely to ensure its policy is not constraining growth and to use its statement to signal greater concern about the economy. It is, however, unlikely to agree big new steps to boost growth.

From the White House the PROPAGANDA …

A Summer of Recovery

With tens of thousands of projects funded and millions of Americans on the job today, it’s hard to believe that it’s only been 16 months since President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. And with so many jobs saved and created already, you might think that the Recovery Act’s greatest impact is behind us.

But it’s not.

As the summer heats up, it is becoming clear that it could quite possibly be the most active season yet when it comes to recovering our economy. There are Recovery Act-funded projects breaking ground across the country that are creating quality jobs for Americans and economic growth for businesses, large and small.

This summer is sure to be a Summer of Economic Recovery.

From The Hill the assessment …

Obama tries to sell ‘recovery summer’ amid slow economy

President Barack Obama and his team are trying to sell Americans on an economic recovery this summer, but the economy is stubbornly refusing to cooperate.

Obama and his Cabinet officials will fan out across the country over the next few days to spread the message to voters about how effective their $787 billion recovery plan has been, an effort they’re calling “recovery summer.”

The administration’s message has run into several negative economic headwinds that have led to worries the economy is at risk of entering a double-dip recession, not a recovery.

So while Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the lying scumbags in the Democrat Party try to claim we are in recovery – the reality speak otherwise. Meanwhile while you scrap and struggle to get buy the Obama’s live large on your money.

You paid for it

I have a lot to say but I am to busy to post right now so here are some links of interest about your tax money being pissed away along with a couple of other things… (Hopefully I’ll get tie to write something meaningfully soon.)

Michelle Obama Criticized as “Modern-day Marie Antoinette” Over Spain Vacation

CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller reports the C-32A (757) the First Lady used to fly to Spain – one of the planes that usually serves as Air Force Two, and sometimes Air Force One – operates at a Department of Defense reimbursement rate of $11,351 per hour.

So a 6.5 hour flight to Spain would run $73,781.50 – double for the round trip.

US Postal Service loses $3.5 bln in third quarter

GM donates $41,000 to lawmakers’ pet projects

Social Security in the red this year

Social Security will pay out more this year than it gets in payroll taxes, marking the first time since the program will be in the red since it was overhauled in 1983, according to the annual authoritative report released Thursday by the program’s actuary.

Meanwhile President Obama’s health care overhaul has given Medicare’s basic Hospital Insurance an extra 12 years of financial stability, though it did not solve all of the program’s long-term challenges.

Is Obama about to forgive billions in mortgage principal?

James Pethokoukis hears rumors of an August surprise coming from the White House, one that will attempt to win backs the hearts and minds of voters dismayed at the failing economic policies of the Obama administration.  With the government fully in control of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Barack Obama may issue an order to forgive portions of underwater mortgages processed through the GSEs, where negative equity approaches $800 billion overall.  Some financial houses have begun quietly preparing for the possibility:

Clown in Chief

Obama to GOP: ‘You can’t have the keys back!’

The president said the Republican Party lack one “single, solitary new idea” and are “betting on amnesia” to help them in November. During a bit that drew hearty laughs from the Democratic audience, he likened the GOP to a driver who has gone into a ditch, and after not helping to push the car out, demands the keys back.

“You can’t have the keys back,” Obama exclaimed. “You don’t know how to drive!”

And yet Obama thinks his “new ideas” have worked? Man, I don’t want to point out the obvious again that – like the debt under Obama grew more in 18 months than it did under Bush in 8 years, that we haven’t had 2 years of 9% plus unemployment since the socialist FDR was in office, that Obama has been on the opposite side of the American people on nearly every position he’s taken, do I really need to cover all of these again? I think not.

The Smartass and Thief with his smug little grin fancies himself a comic – well I’ll agree he is a joke but the results of his actions are far from funny. I’ve never seen a President that has tried so hard to be “cute” with his partisan quips and his smartass remarks – then again I’ve never seen in my lifetime such a partisan president.

Obama fails to realize just how much he demeans the office of the president with childish behavior and frat boy attitude – he is an embarrassment to the nation.

That’s it, that’s all I have time for today.
