Barack Obama is the worst president in history on job creation–
According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. shed 2.3 million jobs since February 2009, Obama’s first full month in office. Since Obama’s election in 2008, the US economy has shed 4.4 million jobs. That’s worse than Herbert Hoover.The US economy lost another 125,000 jobs in June. Just ask Alvin Greene.
Barack Obama’s Keynesian policies have failed miserably. Democrats blew a Trillion dollars on a failed stimulus bill and all they managed to do was triple the national deficit in one year.
Even the far left extremists on “Journolist” hate Keith Olbermann.
Top Ten Racist Incidents of the Week
A Public Service Announcement
Vice-President Biden and that whole Culture of Corruption thing.
The Federal Election Commission has penalized Vice President Joe Biden’s 2008 presidential campaign $219,000 for accepting over-the-limit contributions and a discounted flight on a jet owned by a New York hedge fund. His campaign also was charged with sloppy record-keeping.
Sadly, I’m not surprised.
Obama’s track record
Jeff Miller has made a list of some of our Dear Leader’s promises and how he has followed up on them.
1. He campaigned against an insurance mandate and then gave us one.
2. He promised he wouldn’t hire lobbyists, and then hired at least 40 of them.
3. He promised to release logs of meetings between his staff and lobbyists, and then his staff started meeting across the street with lobbyists so it wouldn’t be logged.
4. He promised not to raise any taxes on families that make under $250,000, and then raised several taxes that apply to them.
5. He promised to post all bills on the internet for five days before he would sign them, and he’s broken this promise with nearly every bill he’s signed.
6. He promised not to tax health care benefits, and then signed a law that taxes health care benefits.
7. He promised to get us out of Iraq; not happening.
8. He promised to close Guantanamo; not happening.
9. He lied about the cost of his health care plan.
10. He promised to televise the health care negotiations, and didn’t.
11. He promised to veto all legislation with earmarks; he hasn’t.
12. He has bragged about continuing the Bush treatment of detainees.
13. He promised transparency and then prosecuted leakers. (Plus, remember this?)
14. He lied about the public option. And about a ton of other stuff.
15. Remembering signing statements? Obama assumes you don’t.
16. Don’t ask, don’t tell? Still in place.
And then there’s the other stuff, the silly and the sad, like the commissions, embarrassing issues of foreign etiquette, lambasting tax breaks he voted for, bribing people with job offers, bemoaning the iPod that he himself uses, his habitual invocation of straw men, his destruction of jobs, wasted money, the cash-for-clunkers/housing-credit idiocy, the foreclosure plan folly, the fake fiscal restraint, unemployment and the stimulus bill, and the fact that Obama’s policies redistribute wealth from poor to rich.
President Obama is not just a mediocre president; he’s not just a bad president. President Obama is a terrible president. He is a terrible president by any standard, but certainly by his own. We were promised great things, and instead, we got just another lousy politician.
The democrat’s Culture of Corruption marches on
This time it’s democrat Congressman Greg Meeks of New York.
Queens Rep. Gregory Meeks finally fessed up Friday night about why he decided to wait three years to pay back a $40,000 secret loan.
…
The Queens Democrat had been refusing to explain why he made no payments on the loan from Ahmad, a local businessman, until the FBI showed up.
…
He also did not disclose the loan on House documents in 2007 and 2008, as required.
Remember kids, democrat Speaker of the House “San Fran Nan” Pelosi said she would run the most ethical congress, evah!
Two opposing views
Compare and contrast. First Mort Zuckerman points out that our Dear Leader is is “anti-business.”
Of course, the talking heads at MSNBC, Mika Brzezinski and John Heilmann, were shocked by this. They certainly haven’t gotten that message from the instructions they get sent directly to their Crackberrys by the Obama White House.
Let us review the facts of the situation, after a year and half of our Dear Leader and the democrats controlling both both houses of Congress.
- The Stock Market can’t get a decent rally going and the Dow is still mired at the 10K mark.
- Unemployment remains at unprecedented levels. Real unemployment is well over 10%, probably closer to 15%. Is it in spite of the democrat’s massive so-called “stimulus” plans or because of them?
- The housing market is still in shambles, and no reform of Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae in sight.
The facts of the matter are clearly obvious, as well as the sad truth that the MSNBC talking heads have to toe the Obama regime party line in order to keep their jobs.
Competence was never Barry’s strong point
Some people are starting to notice that our Dear Leader isn’t really living up to their expectations of a mildly competent President.
Let’s get serious people! It has been plain from the beginning that his actual “leadership” experience was limited to a brief stint as a Cub Scout.
The American voters who bothered to go to the polls back in November 2008 elected a man who has never held a private sector job in his life!
He was very good at making promises during the campaign, but not so good at actually keeping them once elected. Foreign leaders are also not taking Barry very seriously either. Competence was not what our Dear Leader ran on. It was pure charisma and hatred against his opponents, including fellow democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton. What we have gotten has been back room, corrupt Chicago style politics, not leadership, and if you have been paying attention, that shouldn’t have come as a surprise.
Update: Roger Kimball makes the following observation:
But incompetence is only one aspect of Obama’s make up. There are two other attributes along with an under-appreciated, or at least under-commented on, character flaw that we must ponder in order to take the full measure of this post-modern American politician.
The other two attributes are 1) arrogance and 2) ideological animus.
“Your Papers Please!”
Nope, not talking about Arizona, but what congressional Democrats and our Dear Leader want for all Americans.
A national ID card with embedded biometric information that all Americans will be required to carry and show.
Yup, this is going to truly annoy Libertarians and classic Liberals (the folks who’s party got hijacked by socialists).
When Obama said he wanted to be a “uniter”, I don’t think this is what most of the “useful idiots” who voted for him had in mind.
What does the left have against Free Speech?
The modern American left has a long, and sad, history of attacks on the First Amendment.
A history they are obviously willing to continue. Now the left is once again adding racist attacks to their resume.
“Oreos,” “traitors,” and “Uncle Toms“ are just a few of the ugly names that black conservatives have been called for having the audacity to oppose the nation’s first black president. According to AP writer Valerie Bauman, Timothy F. Johnson, chairman of the conservative Frederick Douglass Foundation, has been called much worse. “I’ve been told I’m a spook at the door,” reports Johnson. “I’ve been told I hate myself.”
…
The great irony, of course, is that the need for blacks to fall in line rather than think for themselves is the worst kind of racial stereotyping—self policing. It is precisely this kind of ugly mob tactics that Democrats claim to find so abhorrent.
Then we have a member of Code Pink attempting physical assault on Karl Rove, and attacking his First Amendment Rights. To make this story even more disgusting, Jodie Evans is a top “bundler” for the Obama administration, bringing huge amounts of cash for direct access with our Dear Leader. Clearly Evans’ attacks against Mr. Rove are politically motivated. Unlike other protesters who have convictions that know no political boundaries.
The left is nowhere done with their continued assault on the First Amendment. With the Tax Day Tea Party protests coming up, there is an organized effort to disrupt them and to falsely portray the protesters as what the left is trying to paint them as. Respected polling organizations have shown that the majority of the Tea Party protesters are a cross section of America. Not only does the left want to deny the Tea Party movement their rights of Free Speech and Assembly, they have to lie in order to try and get their twisted view of reality out where MSNBC can air their lies as “news.”
