Hard hitting reporting

With the tough economic times, it's nice to see that CNN is doing some hard-hitting reporting. Where was this stuff before the election?

Its laughable.

Michelle Obama’s Job Eliminated

Times are tough all over, the Obama's are down to one income,

She hasn’t shown up for work very regularly over the last year or so, so when Michelle Obama’s $300,000 job was cut at the University of Chicago Hospitals, it may have been hard to notice the difference.

HT to Paul R

Stimulus bill = 'Raw Deal'

I guess it was 30 years ago, the government gave out surplus cheese. Now they are giving out pork, but we do not have a surplus. All you little kiddies out there, you are going to be working for the man to pay for this pork bill the president signed today.

Some are saying this is the next 'New Deal'. I call it the 'Raw deal' and it's full of pork. Everyone knows the dangers of ingesting raw pork--trichinosis. From this site

Nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue, fever, and abdominal discomfort are the first symptoms of trichinellosis.

Yep, that pretty much sums up how I have been feeling about this bill.

Unemployment

Our new junior senator claims the new pork bill will create 105000 jobs in North Carolina. Currently, there are 400000 unemployed in the state which comes in at 8.7%. Therefore there are about 4.6 million workers. So fair citizens, we can look for an unemployment rate of (400000 - 105000)/4600000, which comes out to 6.4%. (Don't hold your breath waiting for this number.)

Hold on to your hat

The unemployment numbers for January come out tomorrow. Hold on to your hat. The dismal numbers will likely cause BOTO to push harder to quickly pass his, Reid and Pelosi's pork bill.

Ice breaker -- $88 million

I understand there is $88 million in the Obama Big Government bill for designing a new ice breaker for the coast guard. If all the ice is melting, why on earth would you need a new ice breaking ship? Sounds like more wasteful spending.

Pot, meet kettle.

This article on CNN.com...

"We have a bunch of idiots on Wall Street that are kicking sand in the face of the American taxpayer," an enraged McCaskill said on the floor of the Senate on Friday. "They don't get it. These people are idiots. You can't use taxpayer money to pay out $18 billion in bonuses."

Seems to me we have a bunch of idiots in congress voting to use taxpayer money to bail failed companies out in the first place...Pot McCaskill, meet Mr. Kettle.

The Minnesota senate race

This is getting almost as embarrassing as the clown parade of tax cheats marching through the Oval Office.

As a punishment, can't we just strip Minnesota of their second senate seat for six years and go with the 99. That way there will be no tie votes and Joe Biden won't have to make an ass out of himself in some way (though it is entertaining).

Obama's "Don't ask, don't tell"

While still trying to get the Iranians to sing Kumbya with us, it looks like the O-man is pulling the old 'wink-wink, nod-nod" routine with the trade policy.

In recycling all the old Clintonistas, this sounds a lot like old Bill's gays in the military don't ask, don't tell policy. But this time its "Don't not buy American, don't tell who where you bought it. With the some money you got from me. I gave you to stimulate yourself with. OK guys? I screwed up."

So to appease the EU friends (who are on their way to sing Kumbya with us around a campfire), do NOT buy American stuff at WalMart to create overpaid manufacturing jobs here in the US of A (wink-wink, nod-nod). OK guys?

Obama's plan for Iran and their satellite.

In this article...

The United States will use "all elements of our national power" to deal with Iran...

This polito-speak can only mean one thing...Obama is going to tax them into submission and give them birth control products!

Remember, He did cut his teeth in Chicago

Here we have some rumblings of the beginning of the end of the honeymoon...

During almost two years on the campaign trail, Barack Obama vowed to slay the demons of Washington, bar lobbyists from his administration and usher in what he would later call in his Inaugural Address a "new era of responsibility." What he did not talk much about were the asterisks.

The exceptions that went unmentioned now include a pair of cabinet nominees who did not pay all of their taxes. Then there is the lobbyist for a military contractor who is now slated to become the No. 2 official in the Pentagon. And there are the others brought into government from the influence industry even if not formally registered as lobbyists.

Like Balgo, BOTO probably believes there is nothing wrong with this.  (Watch this interview, this guy had me rooting for him!)

He will read the teleprompter, awkwardly shifting from the left screen to the right screen.  People will swoon, some will faint. (Can I get an Amen?)  Soon the media and the public will grow tired of the novelty of this historic administration.  Much like we grow tired of a song that gets overplayed on the radio (like "Achey-Breaky Heart", or "Beat It"). 

This four-year administration is going to be more entertainment than the entire Clinton administration.
