This one’s going to be in several parts incorporating lots of snippets of news related to Obama and his lying, worthless myrmidons.
So let’s begin.
This POS has no class whatsoever. Having him in office is like living in a version of 1984 where the regime is run by Big Brother who controls the Ministry of Truth which engages in doublespeak as the norm.
“Their prescription for every challenge is pretty much the same – and I don’t think I’m exaggerating here: basically cut taxes for the wealthy, cut rules for corporations and cut working folks loose to fend for themselves.”
The lying sack of shit told a captive audience of mostly unemployed collecting unemployment checks thereby negating their desire to find a job that the economy is getting better!!! Piece of fucking, lying shit!!
Funny how Democrats demand and get “pay-go” where any bill necessitating expenditures of tax payer money be funded either with cuts somewhere else or tax increases yet when it comes to reality, refuse to abide by it.
Cases in point: the medicare payment to doctors and unemployment benefits.
There are millions of people in the US collecting unemployment and have been doing so for well over 26 weeks. In some cases over a year.
Of course, they want more of it as it will keep them from having to find jobs.
Republicans want to end this tit-sucking. Democrats are pissed and whining:
More than 1.3 million laid-off workers won’t get their unemployment benefits reinstated before Congress goes on a weeklong vacation for Independence Day.
An additional 200,000 people who have been without a job for at least six months stand to lose their benefits each week, unless Congress acts.
For the third time in as many weeks, Republicans in the Senate successfully filibustered a bill Wednesday night to continue providing unemployment checks to people who been laid off for long stretches. The House is slated to vote on a similar measure Thursday, though the Senate’s action renders the vote a futile gesture as Congress prepares to depart Washington for its holiday recess.
A little more than 1.3 million people have already lost benefits since the last extension ran out at the end of May.
“It is beyond disappointing that Republicans continue to stand almost lockstep against assistance for out-of-work Americans,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.
The measure, however, stands a better chance of passing after a replacement is seated for Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., who died Monday. The measure fell two votes short of the 60 needed to advance Wednesday night, but only because Reid, a supporter of the bill, voted “nay” to take a procedural step that would allow for a revote.
“We will vote on this measure again once there is a replacement named for the late Sen. Byrd,” Reid said.
Good. I hope so Dingy Harry because it will mean only democrats will have their fingerprints on the proof of America’s undoing.
More proof of democrat dishonesty and profligate spending is here where they want to add money for teachers to the war bill:
House Democrats, who are trying to pass a long-stalled war funding bill this week, have attached $10 billion to help local school districts avoid teacher layoffs when schools reopen.
The approximately $70 billion measure is anchored by President Barack Obama’s $30 billion request for the troop surge in Afghanistan and contains money for disaster aid accounts, foreign aid and disability benefits for Vietnam veterans exposed to Agent Orange.
The bill’s release late Tuesday night was the surest signal yet that House leaders are committed to passing it this week, despite great resistance among many Democratic lawmakers and deepening anxiety over the Afghanistan war effort among Obama allies such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
The Senate passed an almost $60 billion version of the bill last month. Successful action by the House would send the measure into negotiations aimed at producing a final measure next month for Obama’s signature.
The difficulty in passing the bill in the House is magnified by disagreement between Republicans supportive of the war — who insist the measure be “clean” of unrelated spending — and Democrats who want funding for the unpopular war to carry unrelated party priorities. Republicans are threatening to withhold support for the overall package if Democratic add-ons are included.
Among the other non-defense spending was money for renewable energy projects totaling $18,000,000,000. Meanwhile only HALF a billion went to Border security.
The federal debt will represent 62% of the nation’s economy by the end of this year, the highest percentage since just after World War II, according to a long-term budget outlook released today by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office.
For more detail on the report, check out this post in USA TODAY’s The Oval.
Republicans, who have been talking a lot about the debt in recent months, pounced on the report. “The driver of this debt is spending,” said New Hampshire Sen. Judd Gregg, the top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee. “Our existing debt will be worsened by the president’s new health care entitlement programs…as well as an explosion in existing health care and retirement entitlement spending as the Baby Boomers retire.”
At the end of 2008, the debt equaled about 40 % of the nation’s annual economic output, according to the CBO.
Again, a classic example of doublespeak and doublethink from Big Brother at the Ministry of Truth:
POTUS last seen attempting suicide.
The president was off of his TelePrompter again today.
Barack Obama defended his record unemployment rate today telling an audience in Racine, Wisconsin:
“Unemployment is at 9.6%. At least it’s not at 12, 13 or 15 percent.”
Well, that’s comforting… Considering he promised it wouldn’t rise above 8%.
As for it being 9.6%? Maybe the Jug-Earred Jackass isn’t paying attention to what his Obama-Care bill is doing to the economy:
In 2010, the Obama administration has estimated school districts across the country might lay off as many as 300,000 employees, many of them teachers. That would be five times the number of layoffs in 2009, and 10 times the number of layoffs in 2008.
These pink-slipped teachers are just the first and most noticeable wave of public-sector employees getting the chop as states slash their budgets. (Schools need to notify teachers that they might be laid off at the end of spring or beginning of summer in order to officially let them go before school comes into session in the fall.) As state and local governments prepare to begin their new fiscal year on July 1, they are frantically cutting not just teachers, but social workers, firefighters and police officers. Oakland, Calif., is firing 80 police officers, more than 10 percent of the current force. New Jersey and New York are bracing for state-wide cuts in governmental offices.
The reason? Last year, the federal government provided stimulus funds for states to make up their yawning budget gaps. This year, Congress has declined to step in.
It looks like 2010 might be a horrible year for those state budgets, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
“Even though state tax revenues are starting to rebound a little bit, the absence of the federal assistance from last year and the need to pass the [state Medicaid funding] and education assistance is huge,” Jon Shure, the deputy director of the CBPP’s state fiscal project, explains. “There’s reason to believe this year will be the worst.”
The teachers and other public-sector employees might be just the start. The CBPP has estimated that if states cut their spending from 2009 to 2010 the same level they did from 2008 to 2009, it might cost as many as 900,000 public- and private-sector jobs — swelling the ranks of the unemployed by 5 percent or more. While the outlook this year is bad, it is hardly better down the road.
STAY CLASSY JOE!!
Vice President Biden is out with an alarmed e-mail cash appeal warning that the GOP will mount a “blitzkrieg” against Democrats in the fall.
Comparing GOP tactics to the fast-striking forces of Nazi Germany, Biden warns in a message sent by the DCCC today: “As things heat up, you can expect House Democrats will be hit with a GOP blitzkrieg of vicious Swift-Boat-style attack ads, Karl Rove-inspired knockout tactics, thinly veiled attempts at character assassination and tea party disruptions.”
And while the GOP is mounting a blitzkrieg, Democrats are the allies.
“Our Democratic allies in the House need your help, and the President and I hope we can count on you to come to their defense so we can hold onto our Democratic Majority and continue moving American forward in a new direction,” Biden writes in the appeal.
Subtle? Not so much.
Update: Republicans were not amused by the implications of the e-mail.
Kevin Smith, spokesman for Minority Leader John Boehner, e-mailed a comment that seems sure to get under Democrats’ skins: “When will Democrats learn that invoking the Nazis’ crimes against humanity in a political debate is simply inappropriate?”
Meanwhile, Joe’s mentor and miner, the Jug-Earred Jackass was leading by example to show how classy this dumbass SOB really is, read about how he treated a couple of kids who had a question for him:
Spencer Kane and Gerald Davis will have a pretty strong endorsement if they run for homeroom president at The Prairie School next year.
The two 12-year-old seventh-graders got the opportunity to ask President Barack Obama a question during Wednesday’s Town Hall meeting at Memorial Hall. Spencer and Gerald, trading lines, asked the president about financial aid for college students.
Obama, who had just talked at length about financial aid, took the question in stride. He first asked the students if they had spent so much time rehearsing their question that they forgot to listen to his answers….
Is that the height of arrogance, or what?
And the kids? They are budding democrats using subterfuge and evasion, encouraged by their parents, to cheat others of their ability to speak:
The boys used a little trickery to get the president’s attention. They were actually sitting several rows back from the stage in a room off to the side of Memorial Hall’s main floor. With the encouragement of their parents, they crawled through the crowd during the president’s speech and wound up just a few rows away.
The pathetic thing about all this? The story is written as if it’s all a big joke and everyone’s thrilled the kids did this and no one thinks the president insulted them by his snide remark.
Written by a true liberal, obviously.
