MORE FROM THE OBAMA FILES
We Don’t Care — We’ll Do What We Want
“Almost half the country opposes tax increases for the richest Americans, according to a poll suggesting that congressional Democrats are taking some risk by backing President Barack Obama's plan to boost levies on the wealthy.”
Full story HERE
I Don’t Care — I’ll Do What I Want
“President Obama plans to appoint Harvard law professor Elizabeth Warren to a Treasury Department advisory post that will allow her to help create the consumer protection bureau, a key component of the new financial regulatory overhaul, without subjecting her to an arduous Senate confirmation process, according to a Democratic official.”
Full story HERE
What? Me Worry?
With the new Obamanomics, shutting down an industry only has a “limited effect.”
“The Obama administration's six-month moratorium on offshore oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico has had a limited effect on employment despite proclamations the ban would cripple the already fragile coastal economies.”
Full story HERE
Meanwhile the people on whom the closure had a limited effect helped pay for the First Dog to be flown to Maine separately from the Obamas back in July … on its own jet! (You can’t make this shit up: Go HERE.)

OUR NATION IS BROKE
An excellent letter-to-the-editor I stumbled across at Progress Index.Com today.
To the Editor:
On Saturday, Nov. 21, 2009, our Senate met to vote on the government health care reform/public option. Our government is already in debt, but this administration and the Senate don't seem to care.
The taxpayers of America are expected to pay trillions of dollars in taxes for this horrific government health care reform. It's not free health insurance people, someone has to pay for it, and that someone is the workers of this country. Not only will we be paying taxes for the government health reform for those who want free health insurance, but these taxes will be passed on to our children and our grandchildren.
Every program the government runs if broke. Medicare, Medicaid, the U.S. Post Office, and Social Security are all financial disasters. The only reason Social Security recipients are receiving their monthly checks so far is because the United States is borrowing money from China.
Our nation is broke and our government (the president and the Senate) will not listen to our voices. More than half of the country does not want the government health care reform. The only ones who do want it are those who don't have to pay for it. Why don't they let the tax paying people of this nation vote on this?

HERE'S WHAT THEY'RE WORTH
Since the Obama Administration has decided it will tell you how to spend your money — and piss it away by the trillions, they're doing — here's how "blue collar" some of these arrogant asses are.
Leading off the pack is California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa with a net worth estimated at about $251 million. Next in line: Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.), worth about $244.7 million; Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.), worth about $214.5 million; Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), worth about $209.7 million; and Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), worth about $208.8 million.
As far as the Executive Branch is concerned, Securities and Exchange Commission Chairwoman Mary L. Schapiro, has a net worth estimated at $26 million; Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is next, worth an estimated $21 million; President Barack Obama is the sixth-wealthiest (and remember, Mr. Hope and Change — as far as we know — has never worked in the private sector), worth about an estimated $4 million. Vice President Joe Biden has often tagged himself as an original blue collar man. At least he's telling the truth ...his net worth is around $27,000 and I think even I am worth more than that alive!

HOW CONGRESS WORKS
Wonder what happens when you vote for a bill and don't know what's in it?
Y'know, like the current Congress has been doing over the past 15 months or so.
Well, here's what they've done — so far, as we're finding out — in New York State when they passed a budget that nobody bothered reading too closely.
•They (a Democrat controlled senate and a Democrat governor ... sound familiar?) imposed a recreational saltwater fishing license. Unfortunately they couldn't get it right (duh!) and ended up imposing it for three months in 2009 and then a full year from there on. The result was that many commercial captains/boats ended up having to cough up around $400 to stay in biz for three months and then another $400 January 1 the following year. Residents had to pay $20 (10/10) for another inalienable right that disappeared.
•They (a Democrat controlled senate and a Democrat governor ... sound familiar?) decided that everyone in the state would get new license plates. Whether you needed them or not, you will pay $25 for a new set of plates.
I can't wait to see what those pirates and perverts in Congress have tacked on to all the bills they're so anxiously passing at the request of our Great Socialist Leader Bho ... especially the crowd of looters under "double secret" (as in, unreported by the media) investigation (Murtha, Boxer, etc., et al).
PS: Vote today, and vote for anybody who's comfortable. THROW THE BUMS OUT!

BANANA REPUBLIC ... USA
Been busy recently, and there’s simply been too much to write about — so much so that I get headaches thinking about what a mess this Congress and this President are making of the good ol’ US of A.
The White House — once again proving that President Obama’s unbelievably poor choice in aides, friends and people isn’t the “figment of imagination” of the right — has chosen to tell us who and what is a legitimate news source. The FOX News organization has gone on this Administration’s enemies list and in doing so, BHO’s Administration has taken another step towards tossing the US Constitution out the window. “You will listen to those we approve, and only those we approve,” isn’t out of the realm of possibility any longer.
Jeez. At least RMN had the sense to keep his enemies list on the Q-T.
Anyway … the SRM (state run media, for those not paying attention), have finally gotten some balls and are pushing back. Even those bastions of subjectivity recognize a threat when they hear one.
From questioning the White House on an “enemies list,” to asking what happened to BHO’s transparency-in-government-BS regarding pushing bills through Congress while not allowing anyone to see them, to questioning the unbelievably arrogant and — yes, Communistic — background and policies of his many “czars,” things are not going well for the it’s-no-longer-semantics-Leftist regime half this country voted into office.
One of BHO’s picks for a Cabinet post, and ranking Republican for the Senate Budget Committee, Senator Judd Gregg (NH) told John King of CNN, the following on Sunday … and amazingly, CNN reported it today.
“The [debt] figures,” Gregg [NH] told King, “mean we’re basically on the path to a banana-republic-type of financial situation in this country. And you just can’t do that. You can’t keep running these [federal] programs out [into the future] and not paying for them. And you can’t keep throwing debt on top of debt.”
There’s a big Duh! BHO’s czars better heed.
For the entire story, go HERE.
And God help us.

HOW'S THAT HOPE AND CHANGE WORKING?
"Meanwhile, in Brazil, India, China, Japan and much of Continental Europe the recession has ended. In the second quarter this year, both the French and German economies grew by 0.3 percent, while the U.S. economy shrank by 1 percent. How can that be? Unlike America, France and Germany had no government stimulus worth speaking of, the Germans declining to go the Obama route on the quaint grounds that they couldn't afford it. ... And yet their recession has gone away.”

Yeah, that Obamanomics is really working.

SPEAKING OF JUMPING SHIP
Back in March I told you about Warren Buffet trying to distance himself from the Big O (Go HERE). Well today he's all over everywhere saying it.
Hey, pal. You helped get this lunatic elected. Of course ...Warren's not going to suffer, but WE sure as shit are.

IN CASE WE FORGOT WHO STARTED THIS MESS
Just in case anyone's memory is short ... here's how we got into this mess.
And PLEASE listen to the very last line of the report. It concerns our current leader, Obama Maximus.

CAPITALISM ON HEALTH CARE
I've always been a fan of The Wall Street Journal as a news source because the overall philosophy of the paper is to provide information for people trying to earn money. They tend to (heart be still) eschew practicing subjective journalism for objectivism.
"With a projected $1.8 trillion deficit for 2009, several trillions more in deficits projected over the next decade, and with both Medicare and Social Security entitlement spending about to ratchet up several notches over the next 15 years as Baby Boomers become eligible for both, we are rapidly running out of other people’s money. These deficits are simply not sustainable. They are either going to result in unprecedented new taxes and inflation, or they will bankrupt us."
Pretty succinct summary.
Want to argue health care theory? Go HERE and read this piece for some intelligent, honest and rudimentary (capitalism-wise) pointers on how to achieve health care.
You'll also want to check out THIS for some facts on health care.
This isn't SRM (state-run-media) BS ... this is a business perspective (you remember business, right? That's what Americans were best at before obamanomics).

CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS MAN?
Here's what I consider the bottom line regarding the health care debate.
Yesterday, our President held another "town hall" meeting — at which there were no questioners or dissenters to his health proposal (now, there's a surprise!). Here's what he said:
"For all the chatter and the yelling and the shouting and the noise [otherwise known as "good American dissent" in leftist circles], what you need to know is this ... if you do have health insurance, we will make sure that no insurance company or government bureaucrat gets between you and the care you need."
Now, this is the same President who has put government bureaucrats "between" you and the banking system, you and the automobile manufacturing system, you and the housing market. A president who is using YOUR money to buy cars, bail out unskilled-if-not-criminal bankers, and pay for housing that people who couldn't afford the houses in the first place bought.
YOUR money.
The question is: do you believe the most socialist-leaning President since FDR won't allow government to, "...get[s] between you and the care you need."?
[Please also note that he said he won't allow an "insurance company" to get between you and, well, er, your insurance company, either, I guess. But that's an entirely different matter.]
Fool me once, shame on me ... etc.

HEY, MR. PRESIDENT
Er, not that this seems to be high on your agenda, but how the hell are we going to pay off yet ANOTHER trillion (his figure, not mine) dollar program?
Or is bankruptcy your idea of fiscal management?

THE IMPOSSIBLE SEXUAL ACT
I'll never buy another GM or Chrysler vehicle again, and I'm sad to say that because I love both marques.
Buying one of them would be like buying blood from myself ... to inject into myself (or ... to bring relevance to the title of this missive, F---ing Yourself).
Don't get that? Think about it.
The government bought both companies with my money and now want me to buy my car from a company who manufactures cars for which I pay.
Ain't happening.
A terrible thing has happened to the Bow Tie and the people who bought us the Hemi. And we let it.
Welcome to the New World Order. Brought to you by a guy who probably wasn't born here and doesn't give a shit what happens to you. As long as he gets to sink us in the mire of commonality.

OBAMA SEZ ...
Regarding the House passing the environmental bill, the President said it "'is going to seem like common sense in hindsight."
Oh yeah?
Wait until you get your heating bill this winter, or your electrical bill the day after the Senate makes this a law.
You think you owe money now?
Idiots.
Is there anything else this administration can do that will put us deeper in the hole?
Well, hell, yeah!

CHRYSLER BACK IN PRODUCTION
With every major business and its brother queing up to get some of that good ol' Obamanomics money, Chrysler offered some good news. In a press release issued of a couple of hours ago:
"One week after finalizing its global strategic alliance with Fiat Group, Chrysler Group LLC announced today that it will resume volume production of vehicles with the start up of seven of its North American [i.e., four in the US] assembly plants the week of June 29, 2009.
"As part of a phased production ramp-up, the following assembly plants are scheduled to resume production at the end of the month: Sterling Heights Assembly Plant (Sterling Heights, MI) – Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Avenger, Warren Truck Assembly Plant (Warren, MI) – Dodge Ram and Dodge Dakota, St. Louis North Assembly Plant (Fenton, MO) – Dodge Ram , Toledo Supplier Park (Toledo, OH) – Jeep® Wrangler and Jeep Wrangler Unlimited , Brampton Assembly Plant (Brampton, Ontario, Canada) – Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Challenger , Windsor Assembly Plant (Windsor, Ontario, Canada ) – Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan , Toluca Assembly Plant (Toluca, Mexico) – Dodge Journey and Chrysler PT Cruiser"
Obama Administration MSM mouthpiece ABC-News, is busy pushing the airlines out of business on their scheduled 5 p.m. news broadcasts in the New York area.
This is not to be confused with pushing insurance companies, doctors, etc., out of business in a primetime Obamamedia special tonight.

CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK
Do the idiots we've elected to Congress and the Senate (and it's our fault they're there) have no shame at all?
Did you catch them all puffed up and self righteously chastising the automakers on the boob tube the other day?
They're the assholes who let this entire situation develop (from Fannie Mae to government takeover of the auto companies) while they greased their own pockets.
We pay, they puff, and we lose.
Nice way to ruin a country, er, run a country.
By the way, boys and girls. You own the damn companies, now! It's your fault dealerships are being closed!
Idiots.
We need a new Congress and Senate. No matter what party. Throw these bums out.

REASON TO SAY NO TO SOTOMAYOR
I was on the fence for this nominee. Yeah, she's more liberal than I'd like, but she's a judge with a pretty decent background, both judicial and personal. Sounds like a scrapper to me. But then we find out, she's kind of prone to large cash settlements as punitive damages.
Soooooo. She's just another cog in the aministration's obamanomics destruction of the American economy and way of life.
I knew there had to be a catch.

OBAMANOMICS AT THE STATE LEVEL
Recently the Washington Supreme Court ruled that Seattle had for two years improperly charged water customers for servicing hydrants when the city should have covered the service from general tax funds, and it ordered customer refunds averaging $45. However, Seattle then discovered it had insufficient general funds to pay for hydrant service and thus imposed a water surcharge of $59 per customer, according to a February KOMO-TV report. The most likely reason the surcharge was higher is that the city had to pay $4.2 million to the attorneys who filed the account-shuffling lawsuit. [KOMO-TV, 2-13-09]
And even better, since the initial screw-up happened two years prior, we can blame it on the Bush Administration. Perfect obamanomics!

OBAMANOMICS 101
Let's see if I get this right.
If you buy some kind of bullshit hybrid car, the government gives you $7,000 which the government has available because they've taken $7000 from me.
You get a car that — in order to make some technologically unachievable mileage rating — is no longer safe to drive unless constructed like a Formula car (which costs about $150,000 per body with out an engine). This wundercar is about the size of a Mini with the power of a moped and the cost of an Escalade.
So you can't get in any accidents anymore (and, please, feel free to look up the word "accident.") You can't afford the car. You pay $7000 to someone who can afford the car. You walk.
Well, sounds as logical as every other plan this moke has introduced.
Is anyone out there paying attention?
If you have a complaint, address it to the CEO of the auto company, Mr. Barack Husein Obama.
