Obama’s Jobs Bill – EXTENDED UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

Posted on by

Obama keeps telling us how the economy is improving. He continues to brag about how HIS POLICIES are working.

Why then, is he demanding an EMERGENCY measure to EXTEND UNEMPLOYMENT benefits?

I’ll tell you why…

Because there are nearly 4 million available jobs out there between the shining seas and this obtuse Dictator, bent on the destruction of America, doesn’t want those who are unemployed to become self-sustaining contributors to the economy.

He wants them to collect UNEMPLOYMENT benefits from the GOVERNMENT in order to survive so that they will continue to VOTE for those most willing to keep the taxpayer’s tap open.

That’s why.

Notice how Obama placed sole blame on REPUBLICANS while enjoying his 20 million dollar private retreat Hawaiian vacation?

“Just a few days after Christmas, more than one million of our fellow Americans lost a vital economic lifeline – the temporary insurance that helps folks make ends meet while they look for a job. Republicans in Congress went home for the holidays and let that lifeline expire. And for many of their constituents who are unemployed through no fault of their own, that decision will leave them with no income at all.”

Oh, yes…The LIBERALS were right there, in Washington…WAITING on the Republicans to scurry back and vote for more unemployment benefits.

The LIBERALS had THEIR collective nostrils to the GRINDSTONE during the Christmas/New Year’s break…Right???

Meet the REAL Extortionists

Posted on by

Liberals and socialists have a habit of ignoring the real situations that plague them and an overwhelming desire to blame others for their own shortfalls.

There are 2 very telling quotes that provide a basis for this article.

First…

Margaret Thatcher once said, “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.”

How true for, everywhere socialism has been tried, it has failed and it fails because, once other people’s money runs out, the entire framework for it collapses.

The second quote comes from Albert Einstein.

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

Feel free to argue with Einstein over this premise but, you will lose the debate.

Okay, keep both those sage and spot on quotes in mind as we proceed as they will ring even more true for any with common sense.

Let’s take the case that Karen Lewis tried to make earlier this year.

POTUS To Deliver SOTU – FUBAR – STFU

Posted on by

As the Dictator prepares to deliver his Confusion of Lies Address tonight, he is faced with a litany of problems.

North Korea has apparently, conducted their 3rd nuclear test which flies in the face of U.N. resolutions.

U.N. resolutions are, as we all know, worthless but North Korea’s test, which registered a 4.9 on the Richter Scale is just the tip of the iceberg.

North Korea, as we all know, is tight with Iran and Iran, as we all know, is nearing the red line on THEIR nuclear program.

It doesn’t take a nuclear scientist to understand the implications.

As soon as Iran refines uranium to weapons grade, the rest of their work has been done FOR them by North Korea.

The reclusive and insane North Korean government has already and clearly, created nuclear bombs AND, if that isn’t enough…North Korea is much, MUCH closer to intercontinental ballistic missiles that is the “monkey launching” Ahmadinejad.

What Iran lacks in nuke technology North Korea can provide and what North Korea may need in delivery technology…Iran can provide.

A match made in hell to be sure.

This, of course, is not the only problem for the Dictator tonight.

A Tsunami in a Sea of Lies

Posted on by

From “Guantanamo bay to be closed within a year” to “You Didn’t Build that.” The Dictator, Obama, has lied as often as Biden has gaffed.

It’s been an amazing 4 years of bald face lying to those who elected him and to those who didn’t.

The clear difference is, those of us who declined to anoint the Dictator KNOW he’s lying and those who DID…KNOW it but simply don’t care.

What follows is but a partial list of whoppers from the Lyin’ King.

“I Won’t Raise taxes on those making less than 250,000 per year.”

77% of Americans are not happy with that lie.

“The Unemployment rate will be 8.5% without stimulus.”

What the Dictator apparently FAILED to tell us was that WITH the stimulus…Unemployment would rise to more than 10%.

“I’ll Cut The Deficit in Half by end of first term.”

As our annual deficit has doubled, I’m not sure if this is 1 lie or more than 4 TRILLION lies.

“I am immediately instituting PayGo “Pay as you go.”

Sooo…You DON’T need another debt ceiling raise after all???

“We shouldn’t Mandate the purchase of health care.”

Romney’s MUST Give Speech

Posted on by

It’s time for Mitt Romney to start telling it like it is. Like it really is. It’s high time he took off the nice guy gloves and started laying it on the line with respect to our economy.

What follows is the speech he needs to start delivering.

Hello.

My name is Mitt Romney and I’m running for President.

Next month, our party will hold a convention and, I expect to receive the Republican nomination at that convention but, there are some things you need to know and waiting until after the convention might be too late.

My opponent, Obama, is running about telling stories. He’s on the attack. Okay. We, my staff and I, expected that. I would hazard to guess that some of you expected it too.

His plan is to attack…ME. Early in our republican primary race, his campaign issued the order…”Kill Romney.”

Now, I’m not just speaking to those in my own party when I ask this question: Is that what a president, immersed in the worst economy we’ve seen in many, many decades and a skyrocketing debt should be doing? To those who voted FOR Obama in 2008…Is that what you elected him to do?

Please, correct me if I’m wrong but…Didn’t you elect Obama to change things? Change them for the better? Didn’t you elect him to fix the economy? Didn’t you elect him to cut the debt in half? Didn’t you elect Obama to bring transparency to the government? To mend the divide between parties?

How’s that working out for you?

Are you part of the 42%?

Posted on by

Are you part of the 42%?  If you are, then you are rightly upset by all the rhetoric coming out of the incumbent’s administration and the talking heads on media.  If you are not part of the 42%, then consider yourself lucky.  For the all of you who are wondering what I am talking about, grab a beer, some popcorn and your calculator and read on…

Oh, and I refuse to use the man’s name when referring to the person occupying the seat of President.  I respect the office of the President, as one should.  I do not respect the man or his ideology.

Ok… So… Unemployment is at 8.2%. However, 88 MILLION people are not in the work force. Let’s compile some numbers here (according to the CIA World Factbook)…

  • US Population: 313.8 million (2012 abstract based on 2010 census and data derived comparing previous census data)
  • Population of working age (15-64): 209.2 million
  • Population NOT working: 88 million

And what is the “official” unemployment percentage? 8.2%.  That means that officially, ONLY 17.2 million people are not working.  Hmmmm  Does not add up.  What is the real percentage based on the numbers above?  Well, using the numbers above, you get a percentage of…wait for it…42%. Yes. 42% of people are not in the work force, according to those numbers. And I TRIED to use round numbers of the extrapolated numbers to be as generous as possible, but I am not willing to spin numbers for any reason.  I deal in fact, and the fact is our country is a LOT worse off than our government handlers are letting on.
