Help is on the way

Oh praise be, Obama Says "Help Is On The Way". Just in time because I was starting to become worried about the economy with Christmas right around the corner and all. But, no need to worry now. If you loose your job in the next 55 days or so, don't sweat it. Seriously, apparently the economic hard times will soon be over. BO has saved the day.

But there is something familiar...but I just can't quite seem to put my finger on it. Ah, that's it. Mission Accomplished.

Will the media view the "Help is on the way" statement the way the spun President Bush's "Mission Accomplished"? Will the media rake BO through the mud like they did President Bush? Will we see this all over the airwaves and in the papers?




Of course not, remember the bias and the double standards. Bush is a Republican, after all.

For now, the Republic endures.

When are they going to stop?

Everyday, a new bailout. The sky is falling again today. When are they going to stop?

Why is it that people can not equate a big bureaucracy with the current and future direction of the government? The old saying "I'm from the government and I am here to help." Is scoffed at as a joke. Wake up people. Why did you VOTE for it then. (Yes, a red vote would have just been the lesser of two evils, but you have to take what you can get.)

Thomas Sowell has an editorial here, where he says in part:

We are not talking about the Great Depression, when output dropped by one-third and unemployment soared to 25%.

What we are talking about is a golden political opportunity for politicians to use the current financial crisis to fundamentally change an economy that has been successful for more than two centuries, so that politicians can henceforth micromanage all sorts of businesses and play Robin Hood, taking from those who are not likely to vote for them and transferring part of their earnings to those who will vote for them.

For that, the politicians need lots of hype, and that is being generously supplied by the media.

Basically, this is another power grab. Things would actually be better without the government intervention. But they do it anyway, for the power.

The new Cold War

Ah, the Cold War. I kind of missed it when the Islamic Terrorist hit the scene.

Soviet warships in Venezuela. Medvedev getting mouthy. We were tested by the attack on Georgia earlier this year. What and when will the next test be? Is the Barack going to be ready? We are vulnerable.

Obama says he is going to look at every single line item in the budget. He will cut the military. But he will also get Osama. He has backed off of pulling the troops out of Iraq immediately (that talk was obvious pandering to activist voters). So many promises, so little time. So vulnerable.

Perhaps this is going to be the war zone that taxmanblog: Little sweet Molly will get to report on. However, she had better add a 4th major... Russian.

The Administration Nominations

CNN is reporting on the break-neck speed of the Obama vetting process.

From the article...

"If we do not act swiftly and boldly, most experts believe that we could lose millions of jobs next year," Obama said Monday.

Therefore, anyone who opposes the nominations will be blamed for preventing Obama from saving those jobs.

Hope and change?

Uh, no. Same tired, old tactics by the left.

Obama budget

Hey Iowa Farmers, those of you who voted for hope and change...sounds like there is some change coming by way of a cut in the farm subsidies. 'Hope' you saved your millions, looks like you will need the spare 'change'.

Seriously, I am really more worried about the military being decimated than the farmers that are on the dole.

He is going to 'do whatever it takes'

So Obama is going to 'do whatever it takes' to revive the economy. Guess he is going to slash taxes, regulations and the size of government, huh?

Wishful thinking, I know.

The way his cabinet and appointments seem to be shaping up, I am wondering where the 'change' is. They are all from the Clinton administration. People like Peggy Joeseph and now Molly (Honey) Sweeney probably don't recognize it. They are are still clinging to hope, the way we are clinging to our guns and religion. It's the same old shtick from the left. Keep promising freebies, keep taking hard-earned money, grow government and dependency, blame the right for obstructing, repeat cycle. Nothing ever gets done, and they take more freedom, liberty and money. Insanity like this is only going to get worse with the new administration.

For some reason, the blue voting zombies keep falling right in line.

Frozen turkey stops carjacker

You have seen Mythbusters when they confirm the myth that a frozen turkey can kill a small dog...

There was a story on the 11:00 o'clock news tonight that an idiot carjacker was put in the hospital with one...

Too funny.
