weeee and it gets better ! Obama just declared the US a NATION of amnesty for illegals. Yep, ICE is not to investigate, pursue, charge, detain, nor deport anyone for the mere offense of being in the country illegally..... the next step is to make it a CIVIL RIGHTS violation to ask if they are in the country illegally (you know its coming)
And now that they have all been discharged from being here 'undocumented' (because if you cant document them, you certainly cant UNdocument them) Guess which 38-51 MILLION just got approved for the new healthcare coverage ?.... yep. enjoy how long before they are given the right to vote, and this administration pushes the popular version of it.
Just saw and op ed piece that is passing its way around.... apparently ILLEGAL aliens are GOOD for the economy. The article pines that they pay taxes, have Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security deducted from their pay (if they are on actual payroll doles) and don't collect back out because their SSN doesnt match and they CAN'T collect....
This is shutting off the faucet, while the front hose is running, and claiming you are saving money and water....and of course helping the environment ;')
The problem is that illegal aliens can LEGALLY get a valid SS number. They can and do collect all of that, sometimes without ever paying in. That doesn't even get into issues of what the unemployed citizen is costing us.
Taken as a follow up to the Obama website to denounce "lies about the president" and identify racist haters of the New Order.... ( previously known as counter-revolutionaries ) I suppose this is an inevitable reaction to "social media" and data mining.
If a "reporter" ( though usually, today they are readers of press releases and opinion salesmen ) says something unfavorable to this admin, this admin probably can use the "media's" twits etc. to "influence" them. Or destroy them.
Which IS after all, the Chicago Way.
Never forget. What seems like a good idea for the guys you like in power, may not be what you want to see from the next batch.
Although, just for amusement, It would be instructive to look at how much this admin spent on parties and vacations vs. the previous ones. ( taxpayer money, I don't care how much the millionaire rich spend of their own. And Barry is very much a 1%-er. Though I doubt even he could afford the Air Force One rates on all their trips.... )
Under the title "The Best President for the United States," Cuba's ex-president said that if faced with a choice between Obama, a Republican rival or a robot, "90 percent of voting Americans, especially Hispanics, blacks and the growing number of the impoverished middle class, would vote for the robot."
Obama, Castro said, is "hopelessly immersed in seeking re-election," and "the dreams of (civil rights icon) Martin Luther King are thousands of light years further away than the nearest inhabitable planet."
Did you see Pelosi giving the "I have something on him" talk about Gingrich?
Politics aside.
Look at her face . . . the tension . . .the anger . . .
Even if you were worth $20,000,000, owned vineyards in Napa valley and were being shuttled, at taxpayer expense of $800,000 per week , , , , , would you EVER want to live your life that angry?
Wow.
I'm sure she does have something on him and I'm cheering her on to commit her own ethics violation by releasing it . . it'll come out anyway.
Yea... my first impressions when I saw her was.... that he insulted her in some way back in the 90's or whenever, and she is holding a grudge thing. I think there was something going on with them ... some kind of love or hate thing.... or more. Do ya think they had a few drinks together at one point maybe?
I listened to his speech yesterday at the firehouse.
The guy is, literally and figuratively, clueless.
We elected a "neighborhood organizer" with precisely zero experience working, leading or organizing anything larger than a canned food drive.
He's a fellow who has no background . . . no one remembers him as a kid, we can find no one who knew him in college, his transcripts (at least at Columbia) seem to have vaporized, he studied with no one and "poof". . . I find it amazing how easily he pulled the wool over the eyes of an America that's going through a temporary (I hope) phase of "fat, dumb and happy . . . let someone else do it".
Just in time for the rhetoric to dail up a notch.... Catherine Sebelius has declared a Civil Rights ICON and has Championed his efforts of the Health Care Reform as equal to the accomplisments of Lincoln and Kennedy / MLK ..... it is a triumvirate of foreshadowing.... IF I were him, I would stay away from grassy knolls, Ford Theater, and anything outside on any April the fourth.
(tie your icon to dead and assassinated... it is only a matter of time before some idiot decides to complete the cycle_) hello new Civil War.
Wow Civil war-- Just how in hell do you choose sides I cant look at a man and tell if he is Liberal--conservitave --Rich or poor Is some one going to put up a list with names and address I can tell Black from White but what do we do with the brown ones--yellow ones Red ones. I will need help on this one. he he he
So Obama could spin his ongoing failure into success. 1.2 million people are no longer counted as even wanting to work. They are now ( involuntary ) house keepers.
How soon before unemployment is at 1% since they won't count anyone except government workers?
And people will buy it. Gee, thanks Teacher's Unions for such a fine Public education.
"So I want to send a clear message to Congress: Do not slow down the recovery that we're on. Don't muck it up. Keep it moving in the right direction."
Obama's supporters stocks are doing well. Unemployment is rising. Industry is falling. Energy prices are rising. Food prices are rising. The Weimar Republic is at hand. "Don't Muck it up"
BTW... How many years has Iran been 2 years from a nuclear weapon? Just asking. ( when some agency gives you the wrong prediction or spin over and over...why do you still believe them? Seriously? )
you know what i said at 308 eastern? we want a million jobs an hour. that's what we want. what we got looked like a good report. i said let's get the calculator out and i did. so did my sources and big blogs many people read like zero hedge. the labor force participation rate if you look at nonseasonally adjusted, a fresh low going back to april of '83. if you look at seasonally adjusted a fresh low participation rate going back to december of '81. what does that mean in english? shrinkage. shrinkage. 1.2 million people are now not considered unemployed anymore. they just have left the system. we need to concentrate on the internals and eventually we want to watch the fixed income market to see if some of this sets in as people do their ciphering. back to you.
Note. 1981 was Prez Carters legacy. Obama Rules! New World Record!
If we want to know when Iran goes nuke, ask Israel. They have the best intel. I 'spect the bombing starts between now and May. Of course, Obutthead is on the side of the Iranians, so Israel has to mostly go it alone. Gas should be $4 before the conflict, at least $5 by the end of summer. Luckily, Ogreener nixed the Canadian pipeline and has kept roadblocks in front of drilling whenever possible.
I love politics, local, national and global. I just hold most of the players in contempt.
Johny you mean dead tech or may be hobbie tech is what you refer to Go read Home Power Magazine they are crying about not being able to LOOT taxpayers for Green Meaning DEAD tech. If Green tech was really viable it would sell like ipads and need no subsidies. The watermelons think alt energy will conform to Moores law. War is coming Obamas depending on it for HIS CRISIS!
I qualified the end of summer with "at least." Oil futures 2015.
Mr. Market always tells the truth. If green can't make it without subsidies, it can't make it with them. Obama: 20 limos and SUVs in convoy to a green tech speech. Oh, yea.
