It's a crying shame when you have to go to court to protect your own job from the president of the United States. :S

In today's Wall Street Journal:
"The administration's stimulus program has failed. Growth is slow and unemployment remains high. The president, his friends and advisers talk endlessly about the circumstances they inherited as a way of avoiding responsibility for the 18 months for which they are responsible."

"The contrast with President Reagan's antirecession and pro-growth measures in 1981 is striking. Reagan reduced marginal and corporate tax rates and slowed the growth of nondefense spending. Recovery began about a year later. [COLOR="Red"]After 18 months, the economy grew more than 9% and it continued to expand above trend rates[/COLOR]."

I might add that President Reagan never turned around and blamed Carter for what he inherited. He just simply fixed it.

According to Mr Meltzer, the two main reasons Obama has failed us:
"First, administration economists and their outside supporters neglected the longer-term costs and consequences of their actions. Second, the administration and Congress have through their deeds and words heightened uncertainty about the economic future. High uncertainty is the enemy of investment and growth."

Obama is, of course, very hard at work on our economic problems.

A Taiwan-owned oil skimmer vessel, billed as the largest in the world, is on route to the Gulf to assist in the clean up. But our wonderful EPA will not allow the largest skimmer in the world to start skimming up oil. Why, you ask? Well, Environmental Protection Agency approval is required, because they are concerned of the environmental impact that some of the seawater returned to the Gulf would have traces of oil in it!

And this Obama government is in charge of your health care! God help you if you get sick.

(Pardon the pun in the subject line.) Seriously, I think Joe "Asshole" Biden should become the spokesman for the Democrat party. Certainly at least for the November elections. In a recent email fundraiser, Biden wrote:

"As things heat up, you can expect House Democrats will be hit with a GOP [COLOR="Red"]blitzkrieg[/COLOR] of vicious Swift-Boat-style [COLOR="Red"]attack ads[/COLOR], Karl Rove-inspired [COLOR="Red"]knockout tactics[/COLOR], thinly veiled attempts at [COLOR="Red"]character assassination [/COLOR]and tea party [COLOR="Red"]disruptions[/COLOR]."

Gotta love ya "Big A!"

"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 [COLOR="Red"]continue moving American forward in a new direction[/COLOR]..."

The RNC couldn't possibly get it any better than this!

Yep, I'd say after more than a year and a half Obama and the Obama-ites have our country moving forward in the right direction. 8O

"NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said in a recent interview that his "foremost" mission as the head of America's space exploration agency is to improve relations with the Muslim world.
Though international diplomacy would seem well outside NASA's orbit, Bolden said in an interview with Al Jazeera that strengthening those ties was among the top tasks President Obama assigned him."

Well, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that improving relations with the Muslim world would be Hillary's job? And now he's giving it to NASA? What did Hillary do to piss off Obama? It seems to me that, if Holden is going to be our new foreign minister, he would rather try to mend relations with Israel and American Jews!

I guess UAE can build the next orbiter? FLY EMIRATES!

Pres. Obama is the best fundraiser the Dem Party has, but his drawing power is way down from its peak during the '08 campaign...[Mo candidate Robin] Carnahan's campaign wasn't able to completely sell out the Folly Theater, where Obama will appear for a grassroots event on Carnahan's behalf, at the prices they wanted. Tickets once priced at $250 are now going for $99, while $35 tickets are half off.

LG Chem, a Taiwan company, is building a plant in Michigan that will make the batteries that will go in the next generation of plug-in electric vehicles. This is a win-win for everyone. It will provide some badly needed jobs to Michigan, and LG will benefit from having the plant close to the source of its customers. It was originally planned that LG would make those batteries in Taiwan and ship them over here, which would almost certainly be more costly for LG. And LG will basically get the plant for free, using stimulus money for some of the costs and tax cuts from the state of Michigan for most of the remainder.

Obama's summer of recovery is on track, although he seems to be having a bit of a problem communicating that to a thankless American public. I don't know why he's having such trouble, after all he's one of the most literate and eloquent speaking of all African Americans according to Joe Biden and other liberals. Just look at the facts:
1) Bank repossessions are down, as are personal forclosures due to Obama's rebounding economy: http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSNLLEIE69820100715
2) The Feds just painted a much better economic forcast, with job creation in the private sector accelerating, the GDP increasing at better than 4% annually, and unemployment falling below 9% for the first time in two years:http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100714/ap_on_bi_ge/us_fed_forecast
3) And of course, more than three million jobs have been created with the stimulus plan since its inception: http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2010/05/07/broader-u-6-unemployment-rate-increases-to-171-in-april/

So, Obama has turned to what is perhaps the greatest economic intellectual powerhouse in this century: Bill Clinton: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100715/ts_nm/us_obama_economy_10
Bill Clinton's knowledge of economics is so extensive that the meeting took almost a whole hour, and in the end they all agreed: "...that making buildings more energy efficient should be a priority..." for stimulating economic growth so companies can start rehiring again.

I should have a job by the end of the month. Life is good.

Bad news for the invironmentalist whackos, bad news for the cap and tax fanatics. Bad news for the anti-oil crowd.


As of this moment, BP has just announced that they have successfully plugged the hole.

BP shares are up over 10%...

President Bush was heckled, derided, criticized and rediculed for playing "too much" golf. He played a total of 24 rounds of golf during the eight years of his presidency. A year and a half into his presidency, Hussein Obama has racked up over 40 rounds of golf, with no sign that he intends to scale back. So, where's the criticism? Come on you guys on the left, between the bad economy, lousy foreign policy, the Gulf oil spill, an increasingly unpopular Afghan war with mounting casualties, not even a shake of the head over this?

"From a period stretching from April 3 to May 22 of this year, the president went golfing eight of nine weekends. WOULD YOUR WIFE LET YOU DO THAT?? WOULD YOU LET YOUR HUSBAND? Michelle, what gives?"
