I'm going to need another Timmy!

Posted By david elosser
Timmy G gone after August? That's what the hubub is all about. He would be the last of President "Dick" Obama's economic powerhouse team to leave before the third year of his term has even started.

Obamanomics: Minorities Hardest Hit.

Posted By david elosser
The Black middle class made it's ascendency during the Regan years. At it's height more than one in four Blacks were in the middle class. Now, after just three years of Obamanomics, the Black middle class is on the verge of extinction:
http://www.suntimes.com/6397110-417/the-disappearing-black-middle-class.html

"...for many in the black community, job loss has knocked them out of the middle class and back into poverty...Since the end of the recession, [sic] which lasted from 2007 to 2009, the... black unemployment rate has risen from 14.7 to 16.2 percent, according to the Department of Labor. Last April, black male unemployment hit the highest rate since the government began keeping track in 1972."

Princeton Professor Cornel West said: "I thought Barack Obama could have provided some way out. But he lacks backbone...[Obama sold out the poor to become] "a black mascot of Wall Street oligarchs and a black puppet of corporate plutocrats... I don’t think in good conscience I could tell anybody to vote for Obama."

Deal Or Dud?

Posted By david elosser
Is the new budget deal raising the debt ceiling good or bad? Both good and bad? Any opinions? Our government now owes more than our entire GDP (give or take a few cents for a few days). Anyone worried about that? The Bush tax cuts are still set to expire. No Problems? Some say Obama came out the political winner but the polls say otherwise. So who wins, who looses politically speaking?

From today's teleprompter: "The markets, on the other hand, continue to believe our credit status is AAA..."

Meanwhile, the Dow tanks as he talks, currently down below 11,000.

Leaving children behind.

Posted By david elosser
http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/duncan-states-will-get-school-testing-wa

"The goal of the No Child Left Behind law is to have every student proficient in math and reading by 2014...The step-by-step ramping up of the 9-year-old law has caused heartburn in states and most school districts, because more and more schools are labeled as failures as too few of their students meet testing goals."

You're kidding me. Let's see now. Senator Ted Kennedy basically wrote the No Child Left Behind law, and now most of our young skulls full of mush can't pass the standardized tests? This can only mean one thing: Ted Kennedy was smarter than a fifth grader! 8O

Hope and Chance in your mailbox

"The financially strapped U.S. Postal Service is proposing to cut its workforce by 20 percent and to withdraw from the federal health and retirement plans because it believes it could provide benefits at a lower cost."

Hopefully we will learn this lesson: "We will be insolvent next month due to significant declines in mail volume [COLOR="Red"]and retiree health benefit pre-funding costs imposed by Congress.[/COLOR]

Obama quote of the day:

Posted By david elosser
http://thehill.com/blogs/e2-wire/677-e2-wire/176917-obama-to-auto-industry-you-cant-just-make-money-on-suvs-and-trucks

Everyone seems to think the big quote from President Downgrade Obama's recent speech to automakers was: "You can't just make money on SUVs and trucks" but to me the real quote of the day was: "There is a place for SUVs and trucks, but as gas prices keep on going up, you have got to understand the market."

Well, I sure hope all you guys don't think $3.75 a gallon is high enough cause President Obama sure don't!

Wonder why Obama didn't...

Posted By david elosser
It turns out those large black busses he's taking on is Magical Jobs Tour were made in Canada. Wonder why he didn't consider buying those busses domestically? In fact in NC there are two bus manufacturers, one of which is Daimler http://www.dcbusna.com/ It would have been great to have those busses built here in the US. And Daimler is the worlds leading manufacturer of hybrid busses! Obama could have gone green instead of black!
