Rich, liberal, retired Googler coos to Obama, “Would you please raise my taxes?” What are the odds that Obama would pick this guy at random to ask a question at a public townhall meeting? About one in 300,000, the 300,000 being the number of dollars he’s donated to the Democrats over the last decade.

Axelrod: Obama faces ‘titanic struggle’ for re-election. Our sentiments exactly. Wake us up for the part when he starts to go “glub, glub!”
Obama: “Pass my jobs bill!” Reid: “After our vacation (maybe.)” Well, if Obama can go on vacation(s), so can the senate. Harry’s not dragging his feet, he’s just trying to scrape a crappy stimulus bill off of his shoes. And his desk.
Obama Fundraising Suffers Huge Drop-off. “This helps explain the vitriol Obama has been dumping out on the campaign trail. He needs to get people motivated to send him their money, and if he can get the hating thing going … maybe they’ll part with some cash.”
“Testy” Obama tells BET interviewer targeting programs to help one community “is not how America works.” Yeah, but what the hell does Obama know about how America works? What the hell does Obama know about WORK? Apparently, targeting a community to gin up votes for Obama’s foundering campaign IS how America works.
Obama: “My new jobs bill will put millions to work making unicorn food.”
Geithner says WH “jobs” plan a good deal at $200K per job. Turbo Tax Timmy says the WH plan is better than the alternative, which he misleading states is doing nothing. The REAL alternative is to fire Obama & Timmy, then watch the economy take off like gangbusters as the “regime uncertainty” is lifted. That alternative would cost taxpayers nothing and the private sector would create lotsa jobs on its own. The reason, as the man who couldn’t make Turbo Tax work likely doesn’t know, is that employment is a SIDE EFFECT OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY… what part of that don’t these people understand? All of it.
Obamacare appears headed for Supreme Court. The Obama administration chose not to ask the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to re-hear a pivotal health reform case Monday, signaling that it’s going to ask the Supreme Court to decide whether President Barack Obama’s health reform law is constitutional. Don Surber suggests Obama may be hoping the Supreme Court invalidates it and removes a major reason for public disapproval of his presidency while letting him blame someone else for its demise. We will cheer if the Court cuts the monster’s throat but it won’t make us like Obama any better.
Gallup: Nearly half now say government poses immediate threat to individuals’ rights and freedoms. “This view is much more pronounced among Republicans (61%) and independents (57%) than among Democrats (28%)… Must be more of that latent raaaaacism at work; folks become unreasonably paranoid when the country is being run by an incompetent black Marxist idiot.
Obama tells audience at CBC awards dinner to “put on your marching shoes” to follow him into battle for jobs and opportunity. Yeah, because the key to finding jobs and prosperity is to reelect the dope who’s the reason there’s no jobs or prosperity.
“We Won’t Pay” – Greece’s Middle Class Revolt. Small business owners in Greece have long been the backbone of the economy and reliable taxpayers in a country where tax evasion is rampant. That, though, is now changing. Self-employed workers like Angelos Belitsakos have had enough of rising taxes and have begun to revolt. Greece was the birthplace of democracy. Time for a deju-vu moment?
Obama Administration to Ban Asthma Inhalers Over Environmental Concerns. The FDA said Thursday patients who use the epinephrine inhalers to treat mild asthma will need to switch by Dec. 31 to other types that do not contain chlorofluorocarbons, an aerosol substance once found in a variety of spray products. Ummm, will waivers be available for friends of the regime? Or will sufferers have to go down to a streetcorner instead of the drugstore: “Yo, check it out… I got weed, meth, crack and now asthma inhalers!” Is calling it a “black market” raaaaacist?
Media carries with it a credibility that is totally undeserved. Simply put, the Gell-Mann amnesia effect states that if journalists understand little about your field of expertise (in Nobel-winner Murray Gell-Mann’s case, physics) they probably know nothing about anyone else’s either. But when you turn the page, you forget the errors and assume the next story is somehow accurate. Amnesia.
Obama: “We’re the country that built the Intercontinental Railroad.” INTERcontinental, as in the railroad that goes to Europe from the 57 states??? That must’ve been where all those railroad guys learned to speak Austrian, not to mention the corpsemen. Yeah, we’re sorry to keep beating a dead brain but we’ve been out of work for a while and we’ve got to pass the time somehow.
Michael Moore threatens the rich – Let’s “Deal With It Nonviolently Now” Two things, MiMo: (1) Most of the rich are DEMOCRAT supporters, but if you want to riot on their doorstep, go right ahead (2) YOU’RE RICH, thanks to the propaganda films you’ve been making for 20 years and charging gullible idiots big bucks to see. Haven’t spotted you giving away any free tickets to your junk lately (although even at that price, your “films” aren’t worth the cost.)
Unemployment falls unexpectedly…. in Poland! Poland’s jobless rate fell faster than expected in August – to 11.6 percent from 11.7 percent the month before. The unemployment rate has now fallen for six consecutive months. The Poles are telling American jokes these days. Here’s one: how many lightbringing demigods does it take to create a job? Just one, but the trick is to get him to resign.
Americans estimate that the federal government wastes 51 cents of every dollar it spends, a new high in a Gallup trend question first asked in 1979. The low point in the trend was 1986 when the estimate was 38 cents. Let’s see, who was president then? Yeah, we WISH Obama was more like him. But we have a proposal for Lizzy Borden Warren: since you people WASTE more than half the money you take from us, we should be able to just give you 49% and nothing much would change, right? Well, nothing much besides the economy recovering, unemployment decreasing, minor stuff like that.
The lesson of government waste, whether on $16 muffins or $535 million loan guarantees to solar power companies or $48 billion in “improper” Medicare payments, is one worth relearning every day. “Managers whose budgets do not depend on customer satisfaction and who do not face competitive pressure in the marketplace, will not, on balance, spend their money wisely. Vendors selling to those managers know that price matters much less than it does to, say, Wal-Mart.” Paging Elizabeth Warren! The problem is not how much WE make, the problem is how much YOU spend.
On Thursday, House leaders will pay tribute to Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY), 9 months after the House formally censured the former chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. Gee, in a few more months, they should be ready to celebrate Anthony Weiner with a blown-up photo from his Twitter account. Good thing Charlie Manson ain’t in Congress…. uh, he ISN’T, is he? Of course not, but we had to ask given the way things are going in California these days.
Hollywood Accounting: 30 years on, “Return of the Jedi” has yet to make a profit. The actor who played Darth Vader has yet to collect a residual: …big studios set up “corporations” for each movie, specifically designed to “lose money,” often by paying money back to the studio itself. Basically, the studio sets up this “company,” but then charges the company a huge “fee,” such that the company itself rarely, if ever, becomes profitable. Sounds a lot like green energy “investments.” Now you know why they’re all Democrats.
Former Obama advisor and now Dem Mass. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren: “There Is Nobody In This Country Who Got Rich On His Own.” Ironic that this sentiment mostly comes from people who never did sh*t in their lives except suck at one public teat or another. Projection ain’t ever been just for movie theatres…
youwalkaway.com – “Empowering homeowners through Intelligent Strategic Default.” Don’t pay, just walk away. The pols have shrugged and said “WTF?” for decades, so why not the average person? Don’t take our word for it… Here’s Rush Limbaugh quoting Sam Zell on his experience lobbying Congress on Obamacare: “I asked the simple question to the first guy I met, and I said: ‘What about the 11th year? You guys have constructed this health care bill with six years of costs and ten years of revenue. What about the 11th year?’ and the guy looked at me and said, ‘I’m 80.'” Just walk away dot com.
Howard Dean: one-third of private sector employers will drop health coverage once Obamacare’s insurance exchanges become active. But didn’t Obama say “if you like your insurance, you can keep it?” Damn that Bush for making him lie like that. BTW, the CBO premised their Obamacare score on the assumption that only 7 percent of employers would drop their employee health plans. If the percentage is closer to the 30 percent, as the McKinsey survey results predict, Obamacare’s price tag would rise by almost $1 trillion.
Obama lied, people died: It seems like only a matter of time before administration officials face felony indictments for their role in Operation Fast and Furious. …the evidence and testimony being compiled so far indicate that the Obama administration was willing to break federal laws and get hundreds of people killed in Mexico and the United States in order to fabricate conditions that would help them implement their domestic gun control policies. Yikes. Leave us not forget that nobody died during the Watergate Scandal or the Lewinsky Episode. A high crime (way beyond a misdemeanor) committed by a sitting president. Just (im)peachy.
Solyndra received more “stimulus” money than 35 states received for highways, roads and bridges. Yeah, but Solyndra has certainly proved itself to be “shovel ready.” Besides, how much did those 35 states contribute to Obama’s campaign, hmmm?
A giant, semi-submersible oil rig en route from Singapore will probably be drilling in the Florida Straits between Key West and Cuba in mid-December. Don’t get excited, this is a joint venture between Spain’s Repsol and Cuba. Obama’s EPA still has a “moratorium” on Americans drilling in anything besides teeth. We’ve reached the point where Cuba will be busily drilling for offshore oil while the US “invests” in ridiculous “green energy” companies that go bankrupt after a year. Which is the country being run by Marxist idiots again?
