Another Biden Three Letter Word…Failure

Smells just like the health care bill, the bank bill, the...Underestimating, miscalculating, failing to anticipate, these are all excuses used by the democrats for a long caravan of failures that are more the product of blind trust by left-wing sheeple in the judgment of an administration that has been way over its head on every issue…since day one.

One of the biggest is the Stimulus.  Morgen Richmond over at Big Government has some actual numbers comparing the White House forecasts to actual Bureau of Labor figures over the last year. The point of course being that they sold you the all new 2009 Obama Stimulusmobile, (fashioned after the classics socialist economic models of the past) and it turned out to be a lemon just like it’s predecessors.

The affects should be far reaching.  Almost every air breather with a (D) not only bought the plan, they sold it as if their lives depended on it.  Not only were they stupid to believe it, they were wrong.  Way wrong.  So now they are pretending it worked.  Sure it did.

Obama’s “Real” Katrina

Do we need to bring our own weather stripping or does Obama supply it?Unemployment is up "unexpectedly."  It is up because the feds extended benefits and people came out of hiding to collect it.  That means very little has changed. Well, that’s not entirely true.  Add several trillion dollars in new and improved debt with job killing action, and a year of left wing rhetoric about how every bill that passed through congress was a jobs bill—

“Naming this pot hole after the ditch diggers daughter will create or save 850 Ka-trillion jillion jobs.”

—and we discover once again that the government can’t create meaningful jobs for American families even when it hires ditch diggers (or their more modern equivalent, home weatherizers).

Of course Obama is still working the "it could be worse shtick" which is predicated on a concept nonexistent during Republican administrations but no one is buying it.

 He’s only trying to save a few Senate seats because there can be no creating them.

Obamaturism Of The Day (From Hot Air)

 

Obamamturism of the day

Hot Air has an Obamaturism of the day, an example of how or why on the job training is probably a bad idea for POTUS, and I’d suggest also, how the training isn’t working.  Ed Morrissey posts these on Hot Air and at the end of every week you can vote on a weekly winner.  This weeks is here.

There is also list of past winners of the week, which provides an interesting time line of Obama actions destined to make a few of you shake your heads.  I was just scrolling through it, and figured you might find it amusing.

 

See the list…on the jump.

Democrat Civil War – Voter Fraud?

This documentary is about the disenfranchising of American citizens by the Democratic Party and the Obama Campaign. We the People have made this film. Democrats have sent in their stories from all parts of America. We want to be heard and let the country know how our party has sanctioned the actions of what we … Read more

The Jobs Deficit.

Here’s a suitable followup to the McLuster post.  She (McLuster) whined about Bush tax cuts–that’s where a president let people keep what they legally earned and… oops the economy got better and 3.5 million jobs were created. 

Does that number sound familiar?  3.5 Million jobs?  It should.

Obama and the spendocrats spent trillions to create….3.5 million jobs.  That was the promise.  Stimulus=3.5 million new jobs.  In fact every spending program–and there were quite a few–turned into a jobs program.  Are you thinking what I’m thinking?  Their definition of jobs is different from ours.

Green Eggs And H-amnesty

The White house is looking for a way to deem amnesty.  Can you imagine what possible reason they might have to do that?  Think about it.  Seventy percent of Americans, at least 70%, object to amnesty.  They don’t want it.  Seventy percent or more.  So the only possible reason to do it, to pass some executive order or cite some obscure construction allowing them to do it, is to piss off at least 70% of America.  Considering how frustrated we feel already there is really only one reason to do it.

If you deem amnesty odds are good that a few people who have been keeping their powder dry might decide that enough is enough.  Any politically motivated acts of violence (any) could invite the kind of left wing brick throwers and car burners we already encounter at global summits to join in; these folks might see it as an opportunity to make things look that much worse.  I can see them trying to start a race riot.  It would not be the first time.  But riots of any kind, viewed on television, have a strange effect on the people.  So if you push enough folks over the edge, and light a fus,e that might just "demand" some kind ofextended federal action.

A problem for the Oily Populists.

Hope you got your permit to do that?Paul Hodes is scalp hunting BP over the Gulf Oil spill—even though BP ponied up 20 Billion already and has spent plenty trying to fix things besides.  Fine and dandy “but how do I use that for populist traction” cries Sugar Daddy Hodes.  “I need votes.”  His answer is another press release promising something or other—it doesn’t really matter with Hodes.  Anyway, what he should be doing, if in fact he is truly interested in reform and reparation, is investigating his own government and how the bureaucracy totally screwed things up.

P-Diddy Hodes won’t want to do that. He didn’t want to investigate Adolphus Townes on potential ‘Friends of Angelo’ connections to sweetheart loans. (That was the one with the famous Hodes running away video).  He still can’t return the tainted Rangel money because, well, like I said who cares what he said it’s Hodes.  He took that $10,000.00 payday from a major sugar producer after forcing a massive ethanol handout past two separate vetoes—and he’s not about to admit that was a corrupt act.  So investigate his own love of the endless layers of paper-pushing progress staunching bureaucrats?  No frikkin way.  He’s voted for plenty of 2000 plus page bills destined to deforest how many acres just to get the rules and regulations written down—none of which he cares anything about unless it costs him votes with the left wing, America hating, progressive-compulsives.

The problems with the spill are epic, so Hodes has plenty to ignore, particularly when all the government had to do was keep the oil off the beaches.  That was it.  Keep the oil off the beaches.  But they waited weeks before even responding, ignoring pleas, and bogging down every effort to protect the shoreline with bureaucrats and paperwork.   And even when they did try to do something, they did it the only way they know how.  FUBAR! 

Winston Groom, in the July 12th issue of the Weekly Standard spotlights a few of these transgressions which I have paraphrased below—issues which Hodes and the democrats have now imposed upon the health Care system thanks to Obama care, not that you have any reason to be concerned.  The list is on the jump.

The Past As The Present

  I picked this up from RedState who got it recently from the Chicago Tribune where it was apparently published back in 1934.  We are invited to read the list on the sign in the bottom left hand corner but there are plenty of interesting things to catch the eye. "It worked in Russia."  And … Read more

Behind The Curtain

No, we are not surprised to hear that a cabal of media elites (defenders of the ruling class) has been working to co-opt the message and suppress public discourse they do not approve of.   From The Daily Caller Watching this all at home were members of Journolist, a listserv comprised of several hundred liberal … Read more

Speaking of Trends

Gitmo will be closed in 12 months. Eighteen months later Gitmo’s not closed nor ever likley to be closed. "We will not rest" until (insert name of thing here). I’m not sure I need to say more. No one rests as much as Obama.  In face he rests for a week before he actaully say’s … Read more

Obama…half-off

President Obama visited Missouri today, to raise funds for Senate candidate, and current Attorney General, Robin Carnahan. Yesterday, with one day left until the event, an announcement went out that the front-row seats, originally $250, were reduced to $99.  What a deal. What price will Paul Hodes’ stump-event tickets command?  I’m guessing less…if it even … Read more

Obama Home Credit Fail

An Envelope Full of Debt   [Stephen Spruiell] Things are looking worse on the housing front, with a severe drop-off in existing home sales following the expiration of the home-buyer tax credit. It’s hard to overstate how stupid this policy was. The government marketed it as a measure to boost residential real-estate prices by providing new … Read more

What if George W Bush Had…

I’m not necessarily defending George W. Bush here, but this is interesting, when put into a different context… 
 
If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a TelePrompTer installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how  inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?
 
If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?
 
If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan’s holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?
 
If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?
 
If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?
 
If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?
 
If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?
 
If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the nonexistent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a  minor slip?
 
If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved?
 
If George W. Bush had stated that there were 57 states in the United States , would you have said that he is clueless.  [Note: There are 57 member-States in the Organization of The Islamic Conference…]
 

There’s more!!…

Redress of Grievances

Skip wrote a post here rearding Obama’s ‘Kick Ass’ moment.  As I began typing my ‘comment’ it began to grow into something to long for the format.  So here it is. I’d sum it up (Obama’s attitude problem as Skip presents it) as an inversion of the first amendment right to redress of grievances.  Obama feels … Read more

Another Obama Jobs Program

Obama has apparently banned deep water drilling in the Gulf. Well c’mon, what did you expect. Millions of barrels spewing into the water and oil went down in price? Who cares if thousands more people are now out of work. This is about the agenda damn it. Besides they are probably all a bunch of God fearing, gun clinging republicans anyway.

It’s That Three Letter Word Again Mr. Biden, J-O-B-S

Year on year there are still 2.2 million people marginally attached to the work force. This is the same number as May of 2009 so zero improvement on that front. Discouraged workers—those who’ve stopped looking because they believe there is no work, actually rose from May of 2009 to May of 2010 by another 291,000.

Paul “Fast Eddie” Hodes

What does congressional ethicist and Obama booster Paul Hodes have to say about this? Rep. Joe Sestak, winner of the Pennsylvania Democratic Senate primary, is refusing to provide more information on what job he was offered by a White House official to drop out of that race, although he confirmed again that the incident occurred. … Read more

From Day One

The anti-terrorism strategy so far has been to bow and scrape, and admit faults, and hope nothing bad happens.  The product of that failed policy has been for our enemies to take advantage of us while continuing to hate us more than ever, with a jihadi gunman successfully killing at fort Hood while two Bombs that were … Read more

The Sound of Two Hands Clapping

If you were not clear about just how wretched the lot of left wing America haters on Capitol Hill are, the Vodka is not going to get any clearer.  These dirt bags applauded the Mexican president while he tore their country down.  They were happy to hear a foreign dignitary from a two-bit third world dumpster take cheap … Read more
