How is the Obama Economy doing?

Sunday, July 22nd, 2012

Based on the recent check on economic health, not too bloody good.  Here are a couple of data points to add to the pile.

US poverty on track to rise to highest since 1960s

It’s just not the poor getting poorer, the rich are becoming less rich as the Obama regime sucks their money out of the private sector.

Wait! It gets worse!

According to CNBC: Earnings Show Recession May Be ‘Fast Approaching’

Just how is that Hopey Changey thing workin’ for ya?

A quick check of the economic health

Thursday, July 19th, 2012

Ok, we’re three and half years into the Obama Economy, let’s see where we are.

The Real unemployment rate is 14.9%

For the past three months in a row more Americans are going on disability rolls than are finding jobs.

President Barack Obama’s Jobs Council hasn’t met  for six months.  Clearly, job creation is not an issue our Dear Leader is very concerned about.

Expect your grocery bills to go up, since corn prices are at record highs. Next time you are at the market, take a look at what you are putting in your cart and how much of that is made with high fructose corn syrup.  Don’t forget the federal regulations requiring corn based ethanol in gasoline next time you are at the gas pump.

Obama’s Energy Department is  ‘Unable to Locate’ $500,000 in Equipment Bought With Stimulus Money.’  That is a half million tax payer dollars! The Energy Department didn’t earn that money, somebody else did (i.e. working Americans who pay federal taxes), and the “most transparent administration ever’ owes the American people a higher level of transparency than ” it would not be “appropriate” to release the name of stimulus-money recipient where the $500,000 worth of equipment could not be located.”

25 Out Of The Last 27 Times Retail Sales Collapsed Like This We Were In A Recession.

The Federal Post Office can’t make a payment to its retirement fund.

New unemployment claims are back up again.

Don’t worry though, President Barry says that the Private Sector is Doing Just Fine.

Oh, right, reality forced him to retract that statement.

Update: Here are a few more items.

U.S. Existing Home Sales Unexpectedly Drop To Eight-Month Low.  After three and a half years of the Obama Economy, items like this shouldn’t be “unexpected.”

Factory activity contracted for a second month in a row.

Consumer confidence dipped to 84.7.

Yet all leftists want to talk about is Gov. Romney’s taxes.

A clear example of the left letting their hate override any rational thought

Saturday, July 14th, 2012

Redstate nails it:

Meet Bainers, the New Birthers

 The geniuses at Team Obama are showing their complete ignorance of private enterprise, the law, and the one well vetted part of Mitt Romney’s career — his tenure at Bain Capital.

It is well established that Mitt Romney left Bain to go salvage the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics. It is also well established that his name remained on some SEC documents. This stems from winding down his partnership interest in Bain Capital. It is a quirk in the law. It has been well vetted. Even FactCheck.org and the Washington Post are unpersuaded by Team Obama’s hyperbole.

Really? A felon? Hey! Let’s accuse Barack Obama of being a foreign born Muslim! There’s about the same validity to both. Meet the Bainers — they are the members of Team Obama demanding proof from Mitt Romney that he is a liar or a felon. Next they’ll ask when he stopped beating his wife.

The Bainers will not take any answer that does not show Romney to be a liar or felon…

To make it worse, this “Bainerism” is being driven by the Obama Campaign, with the consent of our Dear Leader, President Barack Hussein Obama.  It highlights the fundamental dishonesty of the Obama regime, as well as their sheer desperation at this point.  Why does the Obama campaign feel the need to repeatedly lie about Gov. Romney instead of running on the President’s own record?

Obama surrogate Andrea Mitchell is educated by John Sununu on Obama’s Off Shoring

Thursday, July 12th, 2012

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell is desperately trying to get the Obama campaign talking points out there, but that “Evil Republican” John Sununu keeps insisting on using actual facts!

Round Up Post

Haven’t heard much about the “occupooper” movement lately, besides this: DNA found at Occupy protest linked to Sarah Fox murder

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%

Nobody knows whether Robert Gibbs cut the alternator belt on Gov. Romney’s bus.

83 percent of doctors have considered quitting over Obamacare

Obamacare is a tax act

Tuesday, July 3rd, 2012

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!
