Just suppose...

Posted By david elosser

Just suppose that, during WWII, we sold dozens of B-17's to Fascist Italy. Just suppose we had given millions of dollars of aid to Nazi sympathizers in France. Would anybody be upset?

"[Apostle] Hillary Clinton has admitted that Al-Qaeda is supporting the Syrian rebels, who are backed by the Obama administration with $200 million dollars in aid. According to McClatchy Newspapers one of these groups, Al Nusra Front, an Al-Qaeda affiliate, is now conducting "the heaviest frontline fighting" in Syria and has been responsible for terrorist attacks."

"Despite instability due to the new Islamic government in Egypt, the US is sending more than 20 F-16 fighter jets to Egypt as part of a $1 billion foreign aid package."

But hey, who cares? As long as we raise taxes on the filty rich and get our Obama-phones!

Billions and billions and billions...

"...taxpayers will almost certainly lose billions of dollars in the $49.5 billion GM bailout. If the government sold the rest of its stock at current prices, taxpayers would lose more than $13 billion."

Hillary on the grillary

Posted By david elosser

Apostle Hillary, wife of William, is getting grilled today by the Pharisees on Capitol Hill.
"...the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night decided to go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make?" (Hillary said)

Of course, as we all know now, it was neither; it was a planned military assault.

How dare they???!!!

Posted By david elosser

Those ungrateful Egyptians, after being liberated by our one and great Messiah, are protesting Obama and calling him a jerk! How dare they! Do they not know that Obama is our Messiah, their Messiah? Obama is all knowing, all caring, all seeing, and all compassionate. If you are hungry, he gives you food. If you need communication, he gives you Obama-phones. If you need electricity, he gives you solar cells. If you need transportation, he gives you electric cars. If you are thirsty, he turns your water into wine. If are cold, he gives you warmth:

Okay, well, maybe not warmth, but we have everything else we need!
Those ungrateful jerks!

Michigan soaks the middle class

Posted By david elosser

Coming soon to a state near you:

http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2013/02/18/changes-in-tax-structure-creating-angst-for-low-middle-class/

"...everyone from low to middle earners are finding they owe more tax or getting less back...people that are going to be most affected are the people who are not of full retirement age, that make more than $50,000 – because they are going to be hit both ways. Their pension is probably going to have some portion of it taxed and they are not going to be able to get a homestead property tax credit that they are used to getting...The earned income tax credit... was reduced from 20 percent to six percent...Children over 18 can no longer be used as an exemption and college students can no longer apply for a credit for their tuition and school fees..."

Welcome to Hope and Change. wink

Ford bringing jobs back

Posted By david elosser

Ford Motor Co, (which didn't take one penny in tax-payer bail-out money) is bringing jobs back from overseas:
http://www.dispatchmarketinginc.com/eNewsletters/DistributionDispatchHome/tabid/4857/ID/9830/Ford-bringing-engine-manufacturing-back-to-US.aspx

"Ford (which didn't take one penny in tax-payer bail-out money) announced this week that it would begin manufacturing EcoBoost engines for the North American market in Ohio."

They are moving the operations from Spain. "This move means 450 new manufacturing jobs for Cleveland."

According to the article, Ford (which didn't take one penny in tax-payer bail-out money) will be investing 6 billion dollars in US manufacturing over the next two years. Good news for Cleveland! grin
