Here is a detailed list of the jobs our Dear Leader has off shored using federal “stimulus” money.
That list is missing one major instance of Obama off shoring American jobs. Remember that America is paying Russia to get our Astronauts to the ISS, because Obama killed the manned spaceflight program at NASA.
The Obama campaign, including the DNC’s so-called “spokesperson” Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, continues to repeat the lie about Gov. Romney “pioneering” off shoring. Yes, lie. The Washington Post Fact Checker gave the Obama Campaign “Four Pinocchios” , their highest rating for blatant lies, or as they put it “Whoppers.” This raises the question of why does the Obama campaign have to lie about their opponents record instead of running on Obama’s record?
Let us review the latest unemployment figures, which Barack Obama calls “a step in the right direction”:
The “official” unemployment rate: 8.2%
Hispanic unemployment rate: 11%
Black unemployment rate: 14.4%
Real Unemployment rate: 14.9%

Obamacare is a tax act

Obama’s Chief of Staff tries to weasel, but Chris Wallace commits actual journalism and provides actual facts, to which our Dear Leader‘s CoS continually denies and repeats the same lies.
The Obama regime SG argued to the Supreme Court that Obamacare is a tax, the Supreme Court ruled that the only way it passed Constitutional muster was under the government’s ability to tax. They were very clear that it was not Constitutional under the Commerce Clause or under the “promote the general welfare” clause. The Obamacare act does not fund a single additional doctor, but it does fund 16,000 new IRS agents in order to collect revenue that will be generated by the Obamacare (more accurately “Obamatax” act). That alone should tell you what the basic nature of the act is, it’s a tax!

Stephen Moore, Senior Economics Writer with the Wall Street Journal explains the reality of socialist “medical care.”
If you are confused over the whole Obamacare/Obamatax thing, just keep these two things in mind.
1. It contains no provisions to provide any additional doctors or nurses. It does contain funding for 16,000 new IRS agents in order to fund Obamacare.
2. Massachusetts elected a Republican to the Senate and his primary election promise was to oppose Obamacare.

If you have been following the massive wildfires in Colorado, you probably didn’t hear about this on CNN/MSNBC/ABC/PBS/CBS “News”:
Three hours after the Supreme Court ruled on Arizona’s immigration laws, the Obama regime revoked Arizona’s 287 G “privileges.’ This means that Arizona has been denied the use of the Federal database set up specifically for state governments to identify illegal aliens.

A Leftist sees through the hype and understands Obama
Matt Stoller is yet another leftist democrat who has buyer’s remorse over our Dear Leader. Here are the money quotes
…[Obama’s] career in the Illinois state Senate was based on working for billionaire developers to destroy poor neighborhoods. Few really gets who he is, at his core, and almost no one is willing to publicly point it out. There are some who went to law school with him, who saw his enormous grasping social climbing tendencies, his eager corporate good old boy persona, his narcissistic calculations.
and
The truth is that he’s a narcissistic sociopath dressed up as a cool corporate brand. The real Obama parody is an Obama who wears an Air Force One fleece over an Obama t-shirt, who says to a reporter “Now hang on, let me finish, speaking slowly and avoiding your question, which is, by the way excellent.” He’s President, and if you’re upset with him, don’t worry, look at that beautiful photo of Obama smiling and pointing.
Bottom line, America elected an empty suit who doesn’t have the experience or temperament for the job.
He is loosing support in his base, for failing to deliver fast enough on wealth distribution. He is also losing support from the independents who voted for him in 2004.
As more people find out more about our Dear Leader, the less popular he becomes. Hyper-partisan leftists are responding to the results of Reality meeting Obama with desperate fear mongering attacks against anybody who dares to oppose their leader. What else can they do? They certainly can’t defend Obama’s record as President.
HT to Jim Geraghty of the National Review for the link to Matt Stoller’s article.
Update: One of the trends we’re seeing more of is democrats running for reelection who are distancing themselves from our Dear Leader. Add to the list, Missouri democrat Claire McCaskill. She will not be attending the national democrat party convention this year.

“…if you think Bush using his Constitutional authority to replace U.S. Attorneys is a giant scandal, but shrug your shoulders at the federal government sending guns to Mexico, where drug cartels use them to kill a U.S. Border Patrol agent, then you are a hopeless partisan hack who is literally willing to overlook murder to advance your political agenda.”

Leftist talking points vs. Reality
Filed under: Barking Moonbats, economy, Obama Economy, Politics
The following has been passed around actively by leftist recently:
Basically, the Republican strategy for the past three years has been this:
1. Do everything humanly possible to prevent the economy from recovering.
2. Wait for 2012.
3. Run a campaign focused on the fact that the economy is lousy.
This post shows a high degree of partisanship, and an appalling low knowledge of how the federal government works and basic economic theory.
First off, for most of the past three years, the congressional Republicans haven’t been in a position to do much of anything. A position they primarily put themselves in. They didn’t control the White House, were the minority in the House of Representatives, and didn’t have enough seats in the Senate to even threaten a filibuster.
For the better part of two of those three years, the democrats ran the show. They set and implement policy, they decided where the money was coming from and how it was going to get spent. For the rest of the three years in question, they still controlled the White House and the Senate, which let them effectively block any changes the House Republicans might want to make.
The democrats, lead by Barack Obama own this economy, i.e. the most lackluster recovery on record. They are the ones who promised unemployment under 6% by now if they got enact their grand Keynesian economic plan, which they did. The results, unemployment at 8.2% (which be over 10% if the labor force participation was at the same level it was when Obama took office) and a real unemployment rate of 14.8% (according to the Dept. of Labor)
Faced with this record, the democrats want to double down of failure and continue the policies that have resulted in high unemployment and economic growth that in a good quarter breaks 2%.
There are a great deal of things you blame the congressional Republicans for. The current lack of significant growth in the economy isn’t one of them. Even Barack Obama has correctly stated that the economy was his issue and if he didn’t have it fixed in three years, he didn’t deserve a second term.
Graph of the Day
Reality vs. Obamanonics
According to our Dear Leader’s Keynesian fantasies, unemployment should be under 6% and falling.
Instead, reality got in the way, and his massive deficit spending has resulted in unemployment at 8.2% and real unemployment over 14%.
This is just one reason he and his allies are desperate to talk about anything besides his record.
Just to make sure you’re getting this, let’s look at another version of this graph.
Reality vs. Obamanonics II

Obama Promised To Cut The Deficit Six Times. Reality, deficit soaring to new record highs.
7 Times In 2008 Obama Promised To Create 7 Million New Jobs. Reality: Record high sustained unemployment with 23 million Americans unemployed, underemployed, or simply have left the workforce.
Leftist “environmentalists” admit that they kept quite during the 2010 Gulf Oil Spill. “I guarantee you, if John McCain had been President, with that oil spill, or George Bush had been President with that oil spill, I’d have been out there with a sign protesting. I didn’t, because of who the President was.”

Obama’s performance in Poland: “ignorance and incompetence”
Obama has a lot more crazy celebrities in his corner than Romney does.
It’s appalling and undemocratic to raise more money than the Obama campaign. The comments on this one are great. Here are some of my favorites:
Way back in 2008, Dems and their friends in the media were all bragging about how much money Obama raised. I guess it’s different now because shut up.
Because Obama believes in strict regulation of campaign money, it’s moral for him to take millions in unregulated money. But because Romney DOESN’T believe in strict regulation of campaign money, it’s immoral for him to take millions in unregulated money. Because stuff. Also, racism.
Oh by all means, let’s keep the election funding fair and equal. Donating Romney the use of a custom 747 to fly around the country campaigning (all expenses paid) should just about do it. And if it still isn’t balanced out, we can disable the security features for his credit card donations until we bring him up to parity with Obama.
Unemployment rises to 8.2% Instead of new jobs increasing last month by the the Obama administration’s prediction of 150,000, the actual number was 69,000.
