Obama: Billions for ACORN, but not for the Exploration of Space!
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, economy, Our Dear Leader, Politics, Technology
As part of our Dear Leader’s porkulus plan, the criminal thugs at ACORN are getting $5 Billion in taxpayer funds.
How many real jobs will that create? I’m pretty confident that number is right around zero.
Now it is reported that NASA won’t be sending anybody to the moon anytime soon, that would require an additional $3 billion dollars a year. Taxpayer money which Team Lightbringer would rather spend on a criminal enterprise.
One thing that is clear from the American space program is that it created high paying, high tech jobs that contributed to the health of the American economy and spin off technology that has not just benefited America, but humanity as a whole. I’m not talking just Tang and Velcro here folks. The GPS system and satellite TV just two examples of space program spin off technologies that are still driving growth industries today. The weather satellite system that makes it possible to produce enough food to make famine obsolete is also a product of the US space program.
Ya, I said enough food to make famine obsolete. Let’s be honest here people, any wide spread famine on this planet in the last couple of decades has been the result of politics and not the lack of ability to produce or deliver the food.
To recap, an additional $3 billion a year to NASA would once again put Americans on the Moon. It would also be highly beneficial to the US economy by fueling the high tech industry, putting skilled American engineers back to work and producing a very noticable “trickle down” (more like a monsoon) effect on the industries that support that high tech economy. It would also spark an renewed interest in the sciences in American schools and universities, and promote a sense of adventure in America in a positive and constructive endevor.
Instead, our Dear Leader and the s0-called democrat “leadership” in Congress would rather pour that tax payer money down the drain by giving it to their political allies who are under investigation for massive vote fraud in multiple states.
Is this the “Hope and Change” you were expecting?
Something to look forward to if Cap & Tax passes
The UK has their own version of the Cap and Tax bill already. It provides some interesting insight into what Americans can look forward to if our Dear Leader and the democrats in Congress get what they want.
For example, an additional tax on air travel.
Tens of billions of pounds will have to be raised through flight taxes to compensate developing countries for the damage air travel does to the environment, according to the Government’s advisory body on climate change.
Ticket prices should rise steadily over time to deter air travel and ensure that carbon dioxide emissions from aviation fall back to 2005 levels, the Committee on Climate Change says. It believes that airlines should be forced to share the burden of meeting Britain’s commitment to an 80 per cent cut in emissions by 2050.
Yup, the bottom line is the flow of money from the First World to the Third World.
Obama’s Communist Troofer Czar
Filed under: Barking Moonbats, Our Dear Leader, Politics
Various news orgs are reporting that our Dear Leader‘s Communist Troofer Czar Van Jones resigned. Hardly surprising, his “resignation letter” was one big play of the “victim card.”
Our Dear Leader lost a chance to reach across the aisle by firing this racist, communist, anti-American, but he decided to continue in his path of being the most divisive President since at least Richard M. Nixon.
This goes back to the issue of how did a Communist Troofer get into the inner circle of President of the United States of America? BHO has a vetting problem from day one. Socialists, tax cheats and corrupt government officials have been perfectably acceptable for even cabinet officials in Team Lightbringer.
The folks in the White House obviously don’t see any of these issues, including 9/11 Trooferism and being admitted Communist, as a problem. The vast majority of the American people do see these as being a serious problem, which is just another example of just how out of touch with the average American our Dear Leader and Team Lightbringer are.
Unemployment is on the rise again
The Obama Economy is operating as predicted, with employment hitting a 26 year high of 9.7%.
Let us review what our Dear Lader and the congressional democrats told us when they rammed the porkulus bill down America’s throat. If the massive spending program (that doesn’t even start to spend two thirds of the money until after 2010) wasn’t passed, unemployment would hit 9% and if it was passed, it wouldn’t go over 8%.
Geoff has a nice chart that compares the Team Lightbringer fantasy with reality. Let me sum up the chart for you, the so called democrat “leadership” who came up with that Charlie Foxtrot are either incompetent or liars. Either one of those solutions is not very comforting to the American people.
Losing your base
Filed under: economy, Our Dear Leader, Politics, Taxes
Politically, that is a bad thing to do. President G.W. Bush and the GOP acted like they were intentionally out to piss off their fiscally conservative, Libertarian leaning base for most of his time in the White House. Clearly, that strategy didn’t work out too well for them, loosing both houses of Congress and the White House.
Now it seems that our Dear Leader is following yet another bad example set by former President G.W. Bush, i.e. pissing off his base. A lot of the really far left moonbat wackos aren’t happy because he isn’t putting enough admitted communists in positions of power and now it seems that classic liberal, minivan driving, soccer moms are starting to get pissed off our Dear Leader raiding their kids, and future grandkids, college funds through out of control spending and taxes.
Tea Party Attending Liberal Soccer Mom
I’m betting that the owner of this minivan voted for our Dear Leader and isn’t happy with how that turned out.
A quick look at the polls
Lots of interesting data over at Rasmussen today.
Only 29% of American voters are confident That Congress Knows What It’s Doing on Economy!
Only 22% of Americans think that Congress understands ObamaCare.
42% of American Voters Strongly Disapprove of our Dear Leader‘s performance, and total disapproval rating is up to 52%. We now have a majority of American voters who disgress with our Dear Leader!
Sixty percent (60%) of Americans say there is too much media coverage of our Dear Leader‘s personal life and family. Here is some advice to the MSM, less noise, more signal.
Two Thirds of American voters think our Dear Leader is taking America in the wrong direction.
Far left extremist democrat Congress critter “SanFran Nan” Pelosi’s unfavorables have risen to 64%
Obama’s Read My Lips moment is on its way
Filed under: economy, Our Dear Leader, Politics, Tea Party
It seems that someone at CNN has finally done that math on our Dear Leader‘s programs and figured out what the rest of us did before the election.
He’s going to jack taxes through the roof.
Ace points out some highlights of the article:
…Shy of finding a fairy willing to leave trillions under Uncle Sam’s pillow, lawmakers will have to raise taxes and cut spending…
…President Obama is pledging to keep taxes low for most people……Experts say that’s not going to cut it.
“Taxes are going up and they’re going up for a lot more people than those making more than $250,000. Why? Math. The numbers don’t come close to working,”…
The math isn’t that hard folks, he wants to greatly expand government on top of already expanding the massive federal debt. Somebody has to pay for the programs and the interest. Even if you taxed 100% of what “the rich” make, it isn’t enough.
Below the Beltway quotes a Washington Post article that also shows the scary math.
“This used to be America!” “It ain’t no more, okay?”
An enlightening video from a democrat congresscritter’s “Town Hall” meeting. No dissent will be allowed, and sadly the police are assisting with the denial of basic First Amendment rights.
The cop sums it up when he replies to the comment, “This used to be America!” with “It ain’t no more, okay?”
Three examples of the left’s base
Let’s take a look at three separate incidents that point out just how out of touch with the average American the liberal left, which is the core of the democrat party, is.
First we have Congressman Charles Rangel (democrat – NY), who is “already beset by a series of ethics investigations,” failed to report at $1 Million of additional assets. No wonder Rep. Rangel is always calling for tax hikes, as a noted tax cheat, he probably doesn’t expect to pay them.
Next we have a major fund raiser/donor for both Hillary Rodham Clinton and our Dear Leader has been arrested for fraud. Yup, shades of Norman Hsu, but this time there was a lot more money involved.
Hassan Nemazee, chairman of Nemazee Capital Corp. and a fundraiser for President Obama and Hillary Clinton, was arrested on charges that he tricked Citigroup Inc. into lending him as much as $74 million using phony documents.
Nemazee got the loan by telling Citibank that he held accounts with hundreds of millions of dollars which could serve as collateral, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said today in a statement. He used fake addresses and phone numbers to mislead the bank, prosecutors said.
The accounts “either never existed or had been closed years before Nemazee submitted the documents referencing those accounts,” Bharara said in the statement.
To wrap up, the Jawa Report lists two left wing extremist bombers.
First, by way of Gateway Pundit, we have this bit of news you won’t see on MSNBC.
A federal search warrant obtained by the Post-Dispatch connects a former Democratic campaign strategist to a Clayton bombing last year that seriously injured an attorney
and then we have these folks who plotted to bomb the Republican National Convention.
A Texas woman faces trial this month in Austin on charges she threatened to kill a government informant who infiltrated an Austin-based group that planned to bomb the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn., last fall…
…Crowder and McKay were part of a group of activists that had gone to the Twin Cities to take part in street demonstrations. The FBI had infiltrated the group with Darby. Crowder and McKay built eight of the gasoline firebombs but didn’t use them, a fact law enforcement officials credited to Darby.
Yup, tax cheats, frauds, swindlers and violent criminals. The core of the democrat party base.
Update: Shining example of a leftist number 4. Maurice Schwenkler was arrested for smashing 11 windows at the Colorado democrat headquarters. Let us example Schwenkler’s political background. According to the Denver Post, a Maurice Schwenkler “received $500 from a political 527 committee called Colorado Citizens Coalition for “communications,” according to campaign finance disclosures.
The accountant for the 527 appears to be the same woman who handles the books for many other Democratic-leaning political committees.
A Maurice Schwenkler also signed an online 2005 petition to free anti-war Christian protesters who were captured in Iraq.”
I’m betting that Schwenkler wasn’t with the Soccer Moms at the Tea Party protests. This is looking like yet another case of leftist violence/vandalism committed so they can blame their political opponents.
