HT to Ace for this one. Color me not surprised The Obama regime has been anything but “open and transparent” in their actions, legal and illegal.
Internal Department of Justice emails obtained by The Daily Caller show Attorney General Eric Holder’s communications staff has collaborated with the left-wing advocacy group Media Matters for America in an attempt to quell news stories about scandals plaguing Holder and America’s top law enforcement agency.
Taking a look at the Obama Economy
Filed under: economy, Obama Economy, Our Dear Leader, Politics
It’s time again to take a look at the state of the US economy under the so called “guidance” of our Dear Leader.
As you can see we are still at an unemployment level that is much higher than what the Obama economic team promised us it would be if the federal government did nothing, and even higher still than what they claimed it would be if we passed the trillion dollar “stimulus” package. So, not only epic fail on the part of the Obama so called “economic team”, but actual evidence of incompetence is pretty damn clear.
It’s also pretty clear that they are trying to “cook the books” in order to hide their massive pooch screwing of the economy.
Let’s look at that unemployment number of 8.1% for August 2012. It dropped from 8.3%, with only 96,000 new jobs being added. As anyone who has been paying attention knows, you need to add at least 125,000 new jobs a month just to keep up with population growth. So America was short 29,000 jobs of breaking even. The reason the unemployment number when down is because the federal government stopped counting 368,000 Americans as being unemployed for a variety of reasons, none of which was that they became employed. One of the primary reasons that people dropped off the rolls of employed was that the people who were being counted exhausted their unemployment benefits. They are still unemployed, but the feds don’t count them anymore. So in the is case, the reduction in the “official” unemployment rate is an indication that things are getting worse, not better.
Need another example? The Egan-Jones credit rating agency just downgraded the US government’s credit rating. This is because the Obama regime has initiated a third round of “Quantitate Easing.” Incase you don’t know what that means, the Fed created $40 billion out of thin air and inserted that into the money supply. So you have more dollars chasing the same amount of goods. This is bad news for the American consumer. If you still don’t get it (i.e. you can’t repeal the Law of Supply and Demand), here is a helpful instructional video
Our Dear Leader’s Ego
Clearly, our Dear Leader, Barack Hussein Obama, the “Lightbringer”, has fallen into the trap of believing his own marketing.
The proof of this is this recent interview with Cathleen Falsani of the Chicago Sun-Times:
Falsani: Do you believe in sin?
Obama: Yes.
Falsani: What is sin?
Obama: Being out of alignment with my values.
That’s right folks. According to our Dear Leader, if you disagree with him, you are a sinner.
Let’s leave all the implications of his psychology issues alone for a moment, and oh boy, are there a lot of them, and instead look at BHO’s supporters, or as he refers to them, worshippers. These barking moonbats are a flutter over the fact that Gov. Romney is a member of the LDS church. They will tell you, every chance they get, that this disqualifies him for public office.
The fact that they are blindly following a leader who literally believes that “alignment with my values” is a sin does not cause any contradiction with them is very enlightening also.
HT to Mr. Reynolds, Mr. Kimball and Mr. Driscoll.
Quote of the Day
“There’s a choice this election, alright. Which side are you on? If you’re on the side that fantasizes about knocking an 82 year old man off a stage for laughing at your leader, you might want to examine your soul.” If, you know, you still have one.”
Quote of the Day
“The thing we adore about these dog-whistle kerfuffles is that the people who react to the whistle always assume it’s intended for somebody else. The whole point of the metaphor is that if you can hear the whistle, you’re the dog.”
Political Photo of the Day
Our Dear Leader’s Dan Quayle moment
Here we see our Dear Leader visiting the key swing state of Ohio, and not being able to correctly spell ‘Ohio.’
Before the moonbats go nuts with their conspiracy theories, zoom in on the photo and you can see the lettering on the red shirt behind him.
Not reversed, not Photoshopped, just Barack Hussein Obama being himself, unscripted and flying without a teleprompter.
Obama Economy Chart of the day
Nothing fancy, just tracking inflation and GDP for the first half of 2012 to see how our Dear Leader’s economic polices have been working out.
As you can see, what money you have left after taxes is loosing value at a faster rate than the economy has been growing.
The only positive thing about this illustration is that it shows inflation is on the decline. Which is good for you the tax paying, goods consuming citizen, and bad for our Dear Leader and his economic team. They actually want inflation to rising, not falling. Look it up, their plan was a sharp spike in inflation so they could pay off the massive government debt (currently $15.9 Trillion and rising) with money devalued by inflation. Their greatest fear is deflation, where the currency actually gains value.
The decline in GDP is a clear indication that the American people should not repeat the economic policies of Barack Hussein Obama, which has put the country in the worst economic “recovery” since the Great Depression.

“Is it gonna go to where the astronauts planted the flag?”
Texas democrat and member of the US House of Representatives, Sheila Jackson Lee while being shown video of the Curiosity rover on Mars during a visit to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
I was going to post this without comment, but frag it, statements that stupid deserve comment.
The democrat from Texas, representing the district the Johnson Space Center is in, is so bloody ignorant of not so distant American history, that she doesn’t know that in 1969, Americans walked on Earth’s moon, not Mars.
This is beyond the level of ignorance so called “tolerant” liberals accuse Republicans in their fantasies. If anyone with a “R” behind their name, every news talking head would be leading their broadcast and the propagandists at NBC “News” would special graphic and running it constantly.
Since the Congressperson in question is a far left extremist liberal democrat, you can count on hearing crickets chirping before CNN runs this.
Obama Economy Chart of the Day
Let us review just what this chart illustrates.
Our Dear Leader promised the American people that if his massive “porkulus” bill was passed, unemployment levels would drop much faster than if the government did absolutely nothing to try and improve the economy. A government driven unemployment rate of 5.6% was promised by July 2012, instead of the to be feared 6.0% rate of no government action.
Now to inject reality into our Dear Leader‘s “planned economy” model. The reality is that unemployment went up from 8.2% to 8.3%. The United States is 2.3% worse off than if the federal government had done nothing! According to Obama’s own metrics, his attempts to “improve” the economy has actually made things worse!
Now, one could cut the President some slack, since he has extremely limited experience with the private sector, and trusted academics with absolutely zero private sector experience for his economic advice. That is if he was willing to admit the error of his ways and come clean with the American people that he made mistakes, very large mistakes, that stole money from pockets of the American worker, and is now willing to try concepts that are new to him, but have improved the economy in past recession recoveries.
Ya, I know, that scenario just is not going to happen. Our Dear Leader and his ‘advisers’ are doubling down on their failed policies and trying to tell Americans who have seen their net worth go down while the price of food and fuel go up, that his plan is “working.”
Seriously, he is blowing so much smoke up the collective asses of America that his speeches should come with a cancer warning.
Let us review the Obama Economy once more
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, economy, Obama Economy, Our Dear Leader, Politics
We’ve take a couple of health checks of the economy under the Obama regime, and they haven’t looked good.
Let’s add this data point: the Obama administration projects $1.2T 2012 budget deficit.
Didn’t our Dear Leader promise to cut the deficit in half? Instead he is taking it to new record highs.
Here is another example of fiscal mismanagement by the Obama regime: GM (Government Motors) ramps Up Risky Subprime Auto Loans To Drive Sales.
Let’s review recent history, it was the federal government policy of forcing record numbers of subprime housing loans that lead to the last fiscal crisis. A policy formed by the so-called “Community Reinvestment Act” that was put in place and defended by the far left wing of the democrat party.
Can anyone see the subprime auto loan market turning out any better than the subprime home loan market?
