A few thoughts on President Obama's theater-of-the-absurd "jobs" speech:
1. He approved of Maxine Waters' call last week for $1 trillion in new spending in order to make HIS call for HALF a trillion seem reasonable.
2. Mother of God! He just called for HALF A TRILLION in new government spending!
3. Favorite/Unfavorite line: "This isn't political grandstanding. This isn't class warfare." It was both, of course---to the extreme.
4. Another favorite/unfavorite line: "We don't have the luxury of waiting." But he had the luxury of waiting about a month until his vacation was over to give this speech.
5. He argued for more and better manufacturing in the United States, but his new regulations/rules/taxes/costs are strangling manufacturing...and everything else in America.
6. He called for more goods to be made here. Great! Then stop the NLRB from preventing Boeing from building airplanes in South Carolina and stop raiding Gibson guitars! And why was GE's CEO Jeffrey Immelt sitting as your guest with the First Lady when he's shipped entire divisions---along with countless jobs---to China?
7. The old class warrior just had to bust out. He called for higher taxes on "the rich," which means anyone making over $200,000 a year and small businesses. He can't help himself. Spread the wealth around.
8. He slammed into Governors Scott Walker and John Kasich and others who have restricted collective bargaining privileges. He loves him some unions! Guess that's why AFL-CIO head thug Richard Trumka was also a guest of Obama's, seated with Immelt and Michelle.
9. He wants yet another extension of unemployment benefits in order to make that program permanent and perpetuate ever-more government dependency.
9. "Pass it now! Pass it now! Pass it now!.....But wait for another 2 weeks to find out how I plan to pay for it."
This guy has been a broken record for a long, long time. His sorry refrain is full of static...and full of something else, too.
have learned that Conservatives can't have enough wars.
Someone kills people in Norway?
BOMB PORKISTAN!
Christians killed in Egypt?
BOMB EGYPT!
Even, THEIR Bush did nothing about it happening in Iraq.
But, they use the same old feeble excuse," Bush wasn't one of us. he was a RHINO!"

Another fact about Conservatives. If, you don't agree with them. Then, they consider you a jerk, a lowlife. Others would just consider it another's viewpoint.
You'll accused of driving people away from a blog. When, NO ONE made the people leave. They SHOULD be ADULT enough to have done it on their own.
INTERESTING!

Another, Darn wish he wouldn't say those facts!
Many GOP politicians use the Lewin Group to state their stance on Healthcare. Saying how Bi-partisan it is. While the Lewin Group is owned by the Insurance company United health care Group.
In 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) began investigating the conduct of UnitedHealth Group's management and directors, for backdating of stock options. Investigations were also begun by the Internal Revenue Service and prosecutors in the U.S. attorney's office for the Southern District of New York, who subpoenaed documents from the company. The investigations came to light after a series of probing stories in the Wall Street Journal in May 2006, discussing apparent backdating of hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of stock options by UHC management. The backdating apparently occurred with the knowledge and approval of the directors, according to the Journal. Major shareholders have filed lawsuits accusing former New Jersey governor Thomas Kean and UHC's other directors of failing in their fiduciary duty.[11][12] On October 15, 2006, CEO William W. McGuire was forced to resign, and relinquish hundreds of millions of dollars in stock options. On December 6, 2007, the SEC announced a settlement under which McGuire will repay $468 million, as a partial settlement of the backdating prosecution. Legal actions filed by the SEC against UnitedHealth Group itself are still pending.[13]
So, how Bi-partisan can the Lewin Group be?
Guess to conservatives, bi-partisan enough. Since, it's owned by a Huge insurance company!

Let's see. I'm a creep because I would never use a derogatory word against another.
Would never use the ,"N" word, or call someone a Spic, Spade, Chink, Goonk!
Feel that all races have good and bad.
Feel that both parties are the same in that regard. But, because I feel that Conservatives are not perfect, and point that out. Then, No ,"Normal Human Being" would like me.
The mindset of Conservatives is fascinating!

Ask Al Gore for a debate, and what you get is AL GORE's day of Power. There is no room for examination of his prepared materials, and no offered support to his opposition for giving their side. You ask for a debate, he wants to deliver a sermon, and that is not how science is done. This is just blowing around, hot anthropogenic air.
Al Gore operates like Vlad Putin. He is accountable to no one. Either he will have his day in court, or his hoax will gradually fade away as its purpose fades away. Perhaps it is best just to ignore him. Every time he appears I wonder if the price of gasoline will increase, more aliens will enter the country, and more people will lose their jobs.

One of the last times we tried that we got the log up our as*s of mandatory health insurance with NO PUBLIC OPTION to provide competition to DRIVE DOWN COSTS. A massive giveaway to Big Insura. And ENDLESS bit*ch fodder for the Tea Party about the horrors of "Obamacare" that THEY THEMSELVES LOBBIED FOR AND MADE SURE WAS IN THE BILL.

57% of the people wanted a Public Option . But, the Conservatives wanted to destroy ANY healthcare plan.
Which is why they used the very biased Lewin Group report.

Her Bush does hold the record for having taken the most vacations. Obama doesn't come close.
Posted by: Jay | September 12, 2011 at 10:28 PM
As of a week ago, Obama has spent 65 days on vacation, in 19 months (3.42 days of vacation per month).
For comparison, Bush Jr. by this point in his presidency had spent 120 days on vacation in 19 months (6.3 days of vacation per month). Cite
Of the recent Presidents (going back to Carter), in their first year in office (not including Camp David):
Carter spent 19 days on vacation (1.6 days per month)
Reagan spent 42 days on vacation (3.5 days per month)
Bush Sr. spent 40 days on vacation (3.3 days per month)
Clinton spent 21 days on vacation (1.8 days per month)
Bush Jr. spent 77 days on vacation (6.4 days per month)
Obama spent 26 days on vacation (2.2 days per month)
Cite
And before anyone leaps on the qualifier "not including Camp David," Obama spent an additional 27 days at Camp David. Bush Jr. spent an additional 78 days at Camp David.
Note that the only Presidents who spent less time on vacation than Obama were fellow Democrats

Perfect example of the mindset of the right. Keep taxcuts for the wealthy, permenent.
But, stop all unemployment benefits for those who lost their jobs during these hard times. Doesn't matter that many conservatives lost their jobs,as well.
Want a good example of what the Conservatives really care about?

Oh and Jared Loughner was a Tea Party guy, right?!
FACT is THEY will all vote for the Bama and his evil Socialist claque and WE will all vote against him this time while really holding our noses tight, with two Supreme Court Nominations looming the Repugs know that we can't afford to sit this one out.
Looks like we'll get some milquetoast in the White House in 2013.

In a ruling that tugged at South Africa’s racial wounds, a judge said Monday that a firebrand youth leader was guilty of hate speech for singing an apartheid-era freedom song that includes lyrics calling on people to shoot white farmers.
