Obamanomics A Failure, Minorities Hardest Hit

Posted By david elosser

That should be the Headlines in the New York Times every day, if this were a Republican administration of course.

"In August, the National Urban League's State of Black America 2012 report found that nearly all the economic gains that the black middle class made during the last 30 years have been wiped out by the economic downturn."

...And Veterans Hardest Hit Too

Posted By david elosser

Is this what Obamacare is to be all about?
To be fair, the VA has had a backlog for decades, but during Bush's second term in office, in spite of our military being engaged in two wars, that backlog had been reduced by nearly four-fifths at the end of Bush's second term. Obama has created a dramatic turnaround, in the wrong direction!

"The backlog of veterans’ disability claims has jumped by 179 percent during President Barack Obama’s first term in office, reaching 883,949 outstanding claims, according to Veterans Administration (VA) statistics."

GM: Flowing overseas by the billions

Posted By david elosser

And here's another GM bailout story (kinda hard to bail anything out with a leaky bucket!)

"Taxpayers who were told they were saving an American company are now seeing their tax dollars flowing overseas by the billions."

It gets worse for Biden...

Posted By david elosser

Here's a story you won't find in the MSM for sure! I read on the internet last night that Joe Biden went driving last week in his home town. He turned on his left turn signal and made a right hand turn. 8O

It gets worse. When he made that right hand turn he drove his car through the front door of a restaurant.

It gets worse. Biden got out of his car, went to the counter, and ordered lunch.

It gets worse. After eating lunch, he forgot where he parked his car.

It gets worse. He called 911 because he thought his car was stolen.

It gets worse. He called the Delaware 911. He was in Pennsylvania.

It gets worse. He refused to pay his bill, claiming that Obamacare would take care of it.

It gets worse. The restaurant owner called the police because Biden didn't pay his tab. When they arrived, Biden thanked them for finding his car and he drove off.

It gets worse. The Highway Patrol ran him down, and when they arrested him, he tried to claim executive privilege.

It gets worse. The DA was about to release Biden when he made some wise crack about the DA's family jewels.

Biden's now in jail for an indefinite period of time...looks like it's getting better... for the rest of us!
