Yet another Obama accomplishment

Posted By david elosser
Hardship withdrawals from 401(k) retirement saving plans rose to the highest level since the Bush administration during the second quarter... in the latest sign of a dismal economy...At the same time, the percentage of 401(k) participants that had an outstanding loan from their account rose to a record high of 22% in the second quarter..."The current [Obama] economy has forced some workers to borrow from their 401(k) accounts in order to pay for critical living expenses, ultimately jeopardizing their future retirement," said James MacDonald, president of workplace investing for Fidelity Investments.

Wow. So while Obama is calling this the "summer of recovery" CNNMoney is calling this a "dismal economy."

The Muslim center planned near the site of the World Trade Center attack could qualify for tax-free financing, a spokesman for City Comptroller John Liu said on Friday, and Liu is willing to consider approving the public subsidy.

Embarrassed yet?

http://www.ky3.com/home/video/Billboard-buyer-shares-why-he-brought-Vote-Obama-sign-to-the-Ozarks-101850443.html

The owner of the sign has, of course, received death threats, and has been accused of hate speech and racism. That was expected. But I love the quote at the bottom: grin
"If everybody thinks [President Obama's] done a great job and they're very happy," he said, "then I guess they'd be buying billboards saying 'I'm proud to have voted for him.' That's what makes America great, isn't it?"

Muslims destroy Christian Bibles and crosses

"Christians in Gaza City have issued an appeal to the international community and a plea for protection against the increased attacks by Muslim extremists."

And the whole world is upset over one minister with 50 followers burning a few Quran's.

"What have you done?"

Posted By david elosser
"Because I am president, and the Democrats have control of the House and Senate, it's understandable that people are saying, 'What have you done?'"

..."prays on it and refrains from doing it."

"as long as I'm president."

"There's no doubt that everything we've been trying to do .. . is designed to stimulate growth and jobs in the entire economy."

"I think that's fair. I'm as frustrated as anybody by it,..."

Three down, one to go

Posted By david elosser
"Lawrence Summers plans to leave his job as director of the president’s National Economic Council and return to Harvard University at the end of the year, the administration announced."

This is the third member of Obama's team of economic advisors (aka the "League Of Unintelligent Gentlemen") to jump ship after Peter Orszag and Christina Romer, leaving only little Timmy "Tax Cheat" Geithner as the last man standing.

Gathering pace

Rasmussen upgrades Christine O'Donnell (Repubublican, "TEA Party" candidate). Delaware shifts from "Solid Democrat" to "Leans Democrat" with a 51/45 opinion poll split, now a 6 point spread.
