Thanks (for nothing) Obama!

People enter politics for a number of reasons, I suppose. How about obama? Glenn Beck makes a great deal about obama carrying on the socialist agenda of his father, but I don’t buy it. I mean really– obama is off on his 8th vacation, tripping around Spain with the fam. Does that sound like a Socialist? Yes, obama certainly acts like a Socialist in some ways; he is redistributing wealth, he is doing all that he can to destroy innovation and business, and he is taking everyone down to the lowest common denominator. But obama enjoys the high life way too much for a ‘Socialist.’

Meanwhile back at home, the latest round of unemployment filings took an ‘unexpected’ rise. Why does the press say ‘unexpected’, anyway? Thanks to ‘FinReg’, businesses are flush with cash but won’t even think about spending it to HIRE people. Thanks to the spector of cap and tax, large companies will wait to see how bad the damage will be. Many other businesses are licking their wounds from the health care bill disaster, waiting to see if the courts have the guts to honor the US constitution and throw it out. Then there are US small businesses, responsible for 2/3 of the job creation that goes in the country; they will be hit hard by the tax increases when the Bush tax cuts expire, and the last thing they will do now is take on more employees. Obama and his idiot advisors were to make this the ‘recovery summer.’

The unemployment rate is estimated to be around 17%, counting discouraged workers no longer looking for work. But obama parties on. Thanks (for nothing) obama..

The headlines a couple weeks ago: OBAMA, BIDEN LAUNCH ‘RECOVERY SUMMER’.  Two hours earlier, new jobless claims had risen unexpectedly to over 470,000.  Thats another half-million people newly out of work.  We also learned today that manufacturing activity in the Eastern US dropped ‘unexpectedly’ last month.  But obama and biden say it’s ‘recovery summer,’ so let’s all be happy… right?

I was never as impressed with George Orwell’s 1984 as others seemed to be, until now.  The Orwellian comparisons were always at best hyperbole, and at worst liberal paranoia.  So where are those liberals now, when one of their own heroes fits the 1984 nightmare to a T? 

Eric Holder has made a mockery of the Justice Department.  A whistle blower testifies and share evidence documenting the new attitude in the Justice Dept, essentially codified in the logic that Black people cannot be considered racist, no matter what they do.  The Black Panther Party obstructs the polls? 

But WAIT!  Holder says it isn’t so.  The press apologizes and moves on.  ‘Our mistake!’ 

Obama vacation number seven.

I mentioned Biden’s reassurances;  Yesterday he was out crowing again about the ’3 million jobs created OR SAVED.’  This as retail sales drop even lower, and a day before the Fed announces that the economy just ain’t coming back this time around.  But against all the data, obama and Biden talk up the great job they’re doing.  Obama on NBC today said that ‘he got us out of this mess.’  I ask the readers… are we out of this mess?  Obana’s little talk was just before going off on his SEVENTH vacation, so maybe we should excuse his sunny image of the economy.  Everything looks better from the golf course, or so I hear.  But as obama rides off to the links his press agents spew that ‘he is the hardest working president ever.’  The press pull out their erasers.  HARD WORKER, they write.

Nobody has seen obama within a thousand miles of the Gulf of Mexico, or even mentioning the oil disaster… until yesterday, when BP finally sealed a cap on the well.  Suddenly there is obama on the news, talking about what ‘we’ have done so far to cap the leak, and how ‘we’ still have some work to do.  When the oil was gushing, he seemed to say ‘they, they, they.’  As soon as it is capped, it’s ‘we, we, we.’   THAT type of person is what they call… an asshole.  Can’t think of a better name.

Your elected leaders. Ugh.

Then there is Congress.  They passed another textbook filled with rules and regulations to be certain that no capitalism goes unpunished.  The Dow drops 250 points on the news.  But there’s Barney Frank and Chris Dodd in the most ironic naming of a bill as there ever was, telling us that the bill is going to cure cancer and more.  Thanks boys.  Both would have the time to read the bill during a few years in prison if they were ever held accountable to the very same laws that they passed governing others.

To the reader, I ask one thing:  trust your own eyes.  THEY aren’t the things lying to you.
