He imagined that one of the new breeds would be the ObamaDog and used Twitter to get some suggestions from listeners on the traits of the ObamaDog.&amp;nbsp; Here's what he and his listeners came up with: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;To paper train the ObamaDog simply put down a copy of the U.S. Constitution.&amp;nbsp; The ObamaDog will pee and poop all over it.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The ObamaDog likes to hump Chris Matthew’s leg.&amp;nbsp; Hence the tingle.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The ObamaDog won’t hunt.&amp;nbsp;

However, when Attorney General Eric Holder testified on Thursday (February 2) before a House oversight committee investigating Operation Fast and Furious, the news was completely ignored by NBC and ABC (there was one full story on Friday’s CBS This Morning). The virtual blackout of Holder’s testimony continues an overall trend of ABC and NBC burying one of the Obama administration’s biggest scandals, despite continual coverage by their competitors at CBS, CNN and Fox News.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MRC analysts reviewed the Big Three network evening and morning news shows and found that while CBS aired 29 stories and 1 brief on Fast and Furious, ABC aired only one brief on the June 15, 2011 edition of Good Morning America. That was still better than what NBC did on their morning and evening news programs, as the gunwalking story has never been mentioned on either NBC Nightly News or the Today show. NBC’s Miguel Almaguer, in a report primarily about a Mexican mother accusing border patrol agents of killing her 17-year old son as he tried to scale a wall, did note that “In December, Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed in a shootout with bandits.” However, Almaguer never tied the Terry killing back to the gunwalking scandal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It should be noted Chris Hansen, on the April 17, 2011 edition of NBC’s magazine show Dateline, did report that the ATF “as part of an undercover operation, actually allowed hundreds of guns to be smuggled to the Mexican drug cartels.” However, Hansen never linked Holder to the operation or even mentioned Terry’s name. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hansen’s failure to mention Terry’s name is particularly galling considering his mother, Josephine has repeatedly demanded Holder apologize for her son’s death, most recently after Thursday’s hearing as she called the Attorney General a “coward.” Josephine Terry is not being granted the same cause celeb status that the networks gave George W. Bush harasser Cindy Sheehan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only one reporter, Sharyl Attkisson at CBS News, has truly cared to cover the story, even in the face of being briefly benched after the White House complained. Attkisson, who broke the gunwalking story back on the February 23, 2011 Evening News, routinely reported the hot stories ABC and NBC wouldn’t touch. The following is a timeline of those key stories and how they were covered by CBS, ABC and NBC:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;# February 23, 2011 CBS Evening News:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SHARYL ATTKISSON: December 14, 2010, the place, a dangerous smuggling route in Arizona, not far from the border. A special tactical border squad was on patrol when gunfire broke out and agent Brian Terry, shown here in a training exercise, was killed....The assault rifles found at the murder, similar to these, were traced back to a U.S. gun shop. Where they came from and how they got there is a scandal so large, some insiders say it surpasses the shoot- out at Ruby Ridge and the deadly siege at Waco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Coverage on ABC and NBC that week: 0 stories&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;# March 3, 2011 CBS Evening News:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KATIE COURIC: Making an accusation that could cost him his job, an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms claims the agency has a policy that is actually putting guns in the cartel’s hands. Here’s investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson.&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;ATTKISSON: ...[John] Dodson’s job is to stop gun trafficking across the border. Instead, he says he was ordered to sit by and watch it happen...Now he’s risking his job to go public...Agent Dodson and other insiders say the gun-walking strategy was approved all the way to the Justice Department.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Coverage on ABC and NBC that week: 0 stories&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;# March 27, 2011 CBS Evening News:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ATTKISSON: ATF sources say they were told the controversial operation called Fast and Furious in late 2009 through January this year was to try to gain intelligence to take down a cartel. President Obama was asked about the case in an interview with Univision Network.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Well, first of all, I did not authorize it. Eric Holder, the attorney general, did not authorize it....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ATTKISSON: But Darren Gill insists somebody in the Justice Department did know. He was the lead ATF official in Mexico when his supervisor in Washington told him Fast and Furious was approved beyond ATF Director Kenneth Melson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Coverage on ABC and NBC that week: 0 stories&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;# June 10, 2011 CBS’s The Early Show:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CHRIS WRAGGE: Congress held its first hearings Monday on the gun walker scandal that CBS News first uncovered back in February.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Coverage on ABC and NBC of hearings that week: 0 stories&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;# June 24, 2011 CBS’s The Early Show:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JEFF GLOR: This morning, the highly criticized ATF gun-walking operation known as Fast and Furious is being linked to another murder...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ATTKISSON: Mario Gonzalez Rodriguez was kidnapped in October...Rodriguez was the brother of attorney general for the Mexican state of Chihuahua and his body was found a month later. CBS News has confirmed that two AK-47 variant assault rifles were among weapons found at the shootout with suspects, rifles from ATF’s controversial Fast and Furious operation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;ABC and NBC coverage that week: 0 stories&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;# August 31, 2011 CBS’s The Early Show:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JAN CRAWFORD: Now to a big development in the government`s highly controversial operation Fast and Furious. Three top officials involved in a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Fire Arms operation are out of their jobs. CBS News investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson has been all over this story. She broke it for us at CBS News earlier this year, she is in Washington with the latest. Good morning, Sharyl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ATTKISSON: Good morning, Jan. It is a major shakeup in the case where federal agents allowed thousands of weapons to fall into the hands of suspected traffickers from Mexican drug cartels...ATF top man Kenneth Melson is out so are U S. Attorney for Arizona, Dennis Burke, he resigned yesterday and Burke`s deputy in Phoenix, Emory Hurley, he`s been transferred out of the criminal division--all three played a role overseeing the controversial case &lt;br /&gt;called Fast and Furious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;ABC and NBC coverage that week : 0 stories&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;# October 3, 2011 CBS Evening News:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BOB SCHIEFFER: When the government’s so called “Fast and Furious” program was created, the idea was to allow illegal guns to be shipped into Mexico so investigators could be traced into where they were going and get a better handle on where Mexico’s criminal cartels were operating. The program has been a disaster. The guns have been linked to killings of Mexican officials and now it appears that Attorney General Eric Holder knew a lot more about it than he recently told congress. Here’s Sharyl Attkisson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ATTKISSON: New documents obtained by CBS News show Attorney General Eric Holder was sent briefings on the controversial fast and furious operation as far back as July, 2010. That directly contradicts his statement to congress. Listen to what Holder told a Judiciary Committee hearing on May third this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ERIC HOLDER, ATTORNEY GENERAL: I’m not sure of the exact date but I probably heard about fast and furious for the first time over the last few weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ATTKISSON: Yet internal justice department documents show at least ten months before that hearing, Holder began receiving frequent memos discussing Fast and Furious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;ABC and NBC coverage that week : 0 stories&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;# October 7, 2011 CBS’s The Early Show:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WRAGGE: At his news conference on Thursday, President Obama defended Attorney General Eric Holder, whose accused of misleading Congress about when he first learned of the ATF program known as Fast and Furious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;ABC and NBC coverage that week : 0 stories&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;# November 8, 2011 CBS Evening News:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ATTKISSON: For the first time, Attorney General Holder made the difficult admission to Congress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HOLDER: Any instance of so-called gun walking is simply unacceptable. Regrettably, this tactic was used as part of “Fast and Furious.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ATTKISSON: That also means a letter Holder’s office sent Congress last February denying gun walking was wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;ABC and NBC coverage that week : 0 stories&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;# December 8, 2011 CBS’s The Early Show:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JEFF GLOR: Attorney General Eric Holder goes to Capitol Hill this morning to be questioned by House Committee over Operation Fast and Furious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;ABC and NBC coverage that week : 0 stories&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;# February 3, 2012 CBS’s This Morning:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ERICA HILL: Some tense moments on Capitol Hill between House Republicans and Attorney General Eric Holder. They were arguing over that controversial gunrunning operation that was first exposed by CBS News. Congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes was there for the fireworks and they were certainly flying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;ABC and NBC coverage that week : 0 stories&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Attkisson’s dogged coverage of Fast and Furious over the past year should have shamed her competitors into sending in their own reporters to dig into the story. &lt;u&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;The fact that ABC and NBC still won’t touch it, along with a plethora of other Obama failings, demonstrates how far in the tank the liberal media are in for this President’s re-election.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

Yeah!&amp;nbsp; It certainly was an economic positive for Obama because those people no longer had to be counted as unemployed.&amp;nbsp; That’s one way to improve the unemployment numbers – just make 1.2 million unemployed people vanish from the statistical database. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only in the world according to a Marxist like Barack Obama could it be a good thing when our labor participation rate hits a 30-year low.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ObaMao is most certainly quite comfortable with the idea of fewer people working and more people depending on the government to survive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ObaMao was raised and nurtured by people, including his mother and father, who completely despised capitalism.&amp;nbsp; In his college years, by his own admission, he gravitated toward student groups and professors who likewise held capitalism in great disregard; and his close associations with anti-capitalists continued right up to his unpacking his bags on the second floor of the White House.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; There has never been an economic system that has brought more people from poverty to plenty than capitalism, and our "ruler" (his own words) is dedicated to the destruction of that economic model. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Charles Krauthammer noted that “the Obama administration promised that the unemployment rate today would be approximately 5.8 percent – not 8.3 percent — if the $800 billion stimulus package were passed.”&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where is the ObamaMedia to report THAT little goodie?&amp;nbsp; Or how about this one: “Even if 250,000 jobs were created every month from now to the election, the unemployment rate will still hover near 8 percent.”&amp;nbsp; Remember that no modern president has been re-elected with an unemployment rate above 7.2%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will Obama be the exception?&amp;nbsp; You better hope not.&amp;nbsp; But what if he is … what if Obama is the first modern president to be re-elected with an unemployment rate near 8%?&amp;nbsp; What does this say about the state of our Republic?&amp;nbsp; It’s validation for years of government indoctrination in our failing government school system.&amp;nbsp; Students are taught that government is always the solution.&amp;nbsp; Couple this with a growing entitlement society and a celebrity worship culture and you start to get a better idea of how someone like Barack Obama, a charismatic Marxist, could end up in the White House and then perhaps stay there for two terms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;BETTER WAKE UP AMERICA!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3896883888103750252-3171175834361392147?l=destinbeachbum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/feeds/3171175834361392147/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2012/02/marxist-obama-and-destruction-of-our.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/3171175834361392147'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/3171175834361392147'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2012/02/marxist-obama-and-destruction-of-our.html' title='MARXIST OBAMA AND THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR WAY OF LIFE!'/><author><name>MaxMaster</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07345748918182416054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0rgUR70k5gE/S1IiCr9OIKI/AAAAAAAACjs/0fLcyrIUD6o/S220/Morton+Arb+(4).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896883888103750252.post-1785635669036977417</id><published>2012-02-07T08:01:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2012-02-07T08:15:25.211-06:00</updated><title type='text'>IS THERE NO END TO THIS STUPIDITY?

The president is an extremely busy man and has much to do to get us back on track. Let's see, he has to play a lot of golf, take several lavish vacations every year, file lawsuits against our states, run guns to Mexican drug cartels, and figure out a way to bypass congress and the will of the people on every issue. Not to mention making basket ball brackets, entertaining celebs and throwing crazy Hollywood style Halloween bashes. How in the heck is he supposed to deal with a pesky Keystone pipeline? Try to put yourself in his shoes for a change if you think its so easy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, oh...but wait...I just heard that Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) took aim Wednesday at the State Department official dispatched to Congress to explain why President Obama shelved the Keystone XL pipeline – telling her that the U.S. had “fought and won World War II” in less time than the administration had spent weighing the Canada-U.S. pipeline deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WTF!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; COULD THAT BE TRUE?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Well, we fought and won World War II in less time than it’s taken so far to evaluate this project,” Barton said. “I mean, with all due respect, it is an insult to the American people to say that you need more time."&lt;br /&gt;          &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="display: inline-block; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; text-decoration: none; width: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;“There are 10 other agencies that have reviewed this project and – correct me if I’m wrong, but my understanding is that the Corps of Engineers approved it, the Department of Agriculture approved it, the Department of Interior approved it, the Department of Transportation approved it, the Environmental Protection Agency – believe it or not – approved it, the Defense Department approved it; the Justice Department approved it, the Homeland Security Department approved it and the Department of Commerce approved it.

Compare      that to the last time the budget was balanced in 2001, when Washington      spent $1.8 trillion ($2.1 trillion when you adjust for inflation).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://email.heritage.org/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.heritage.org/budgetchartbook/entitlement-spending-double" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Entitlement spending will more than double by 2050&lt;/a&gt;.

One year from today there will be an inaugural ceremony in Washington.  After that ceremony is over the National Mall in front of the Capitol will either be full of trash, or it won’t.  If the trash is there you will know that Barack Obama has embarked on his second term.  If the people take their trash with them, or actually put it into receptacles, you will know that a U-Haul is waiting to take Obama’s stuff back to Chicago … or Hawaii … or Indonesia … or wherever.  If Chicago is the destination perhaps Barack and Michelle will just move in with Bill and Bernadine until their stuff gets there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;If the Obamas aren’t packing up their stuff one year from now, don’t feel sorry for the moving industry.  They will probably be better off for it, at least in the short term.  It won’t be a huge wave at first, but the reelection of Barack Obama will be the signal to American business that things are going to get no better – and will soon get worse.  The age of a dynamic free market economy will be on the way out and the era of a politically controlled command economy will be on the way in.  No longer will the private sector and consumers set the course of manufacturers.  Those decisions will simply be too important to be left up to simple, uninformed consumers voting with their dollars in the private marketplace.  Politicians who have the benefit of studies and government research will be making those decisions.  We see how well that worked with the Chevy Volt … just stand by for more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Barack Obama was raised to despise capitalism, and he has brought that animosity toward the free market into the White House.  Obama believes that government is what makes America great.  You might think that America’s greatness comes from the dynamic of free people working together in a system based on economic liberty and the rule of law with a minimum of government interference and regulation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;One year from now we will learn whether the road ahead leads to more economic liberty and prosperity, or to more government command and control of virtually every aspect of your life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;The decision will be yours.  This isn’t a time for American Idol or (apologies to Chuck and Steak) sports talk radio.  It’s a time to pay attention.  You owe this to yourself, to your children, and to the people who gave their lives to bring us a free country.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; We’re at the end of our life expectancy.

He’ll be at Disney World to push for relaxing tourist visa requirements in the name of boosting the economy.&amp;nbsp; And there’s one topic at the top of the political wish list for Central Florida’s tourism industry: Visa reform. The tourism industry has been pushing Congress and Obama to make it easier for visitors from emerging nations such as Brazil, India and China to come to the U.S. as tourists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In case anyone needs reminding, it was the relentless drive of the tourism industry and kowtowing Clinton State Department bureaucrats that led to the Visa Express program — which relaxed visa policies, eliminated in-person consulate interviews, and opened the door to the 9/11 hijackers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brazil, may I remind you, is just the latest base for al Qaeda and other Islamic jihadi groups; it “does not recognize Hezbollah or Hamas as terrorist groups and disbanded the Federal Police’s anti-terrorism service in 2009.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Pres. DumboEars is once again about to show his stupidity and disregard for citizens safety by promoting even easier Visa requirements so as to make it even easier for terrorists to enter the country.&amp;nbsp;

What time does "Dancing with the Stars, The Bachelorette or Two and a half men come on?".... John Q Public. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;U.S. debt is now equal to economy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Richard Wolf, USA TODAY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WASHINGTON – The soaring national debt has reached a symbolic tipping point: It's now as big as the entire U.S. economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The amount of money the federal government owes to its creditors, combined with IOUs to government retirement and other programs, now tops $15.23 trillion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's roughly equal to the value of all goods and services the U.S. economy produces in one year: $15.17 trillion as of September, the latest estimate. Private projections show the economy likely grew to about $15.3 trillion by December — a level the debt is likely to surpass this month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The 100% mark means that your entire debt is as big as everything you're producing in your country," says Steve Bell of the Bipartisan Policy Center, which has proposed cutting nearly $6 trillion in red ink over 10 years. "Clearly, that can't continue."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Long-term projections suggest the debt will continue to grow faster than the economy, which would have to expand by at least 6% a year to keep pace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Obama's 2012 budget shows the debt soaring past $26 trillion a decade from now. Last summer's deficit reduction deal could reduce that to $24 trillion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many economists, such as the Brookings Institution's William Gale, say a better measure of the nation's debt is how much the government owes creditors, not counting $4.7 trillion owed to future Social Security recipients and other government beneficiaries. By that measure, the debt is roughly a third less: $10.5 trillion, or nearly 70% the size of the economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is still high by historic standards. The total national debt topped the size of the economy for three years during and after World War II. It dropped to 32.5% of the economy by 1981, then began a steady climb under President Reagan, doubling over the next 12 years. The combination of recession and stimulus spending caused it to soar again under Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among advanced economies, only Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan and Portugal have debts larger than their economies. Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Italy are at the root of the European debt crisis. The first three needed bailouts from European central banks; Italy's books are monitored by the International Monetary Fund.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The White House and Congress agreed in August to cut about $1 trillion from federal agencies over 10 years. An additional $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts looms beginning next year if lawmakers can't agree on a better way to do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Economist Mark Zandi of Moody's Analytics says reaching the 100% mark shows "the grave need to address our long-term fiscal problems." &lt;br /&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3896883888103750252-6945052444676472474?l=destinbeachbum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/feeds/6945052444676472474/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2012/01/we-are-in-very-deep-trouble-but-idiot.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/6945052444676472474'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/6945052444676472474'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2012/01/we-are-in-very-deep-trouble-but-idiot.html' title='WE ARE IN VERY DEEP TROUBLE BUT IDIOT OBAMA IS ASKING FOR ANOTHER $1.2 TRILLION!'/><author><name>MaxMaster</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07345748918182416054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0rgUR70k5gE/S1IiCr9OIKI/AAAAAAAACjs/0fLcyrIUD6o/S220/Morton+Arb+(4).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896883888103750252.post-6383610381581721922</id><published>2012-01-08T09:19:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2012-01-08T09:20:39.219-06:00</updated><title type='text'>HAVE YOU EVER, EVER SEEN A MORE "FLUFFIER" MEDIA STORY ATTEMPTING TO SUPPORT THIS FAILED PRESIDENCY?</title><content type='html'>&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;This reporter must have got his tongue stuck in ObaMao's ass from kissing it so hard!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Associated Press January 7, 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Obama to promote insourcing of jobs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By KEN THOMAS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D9S45RQ00.htm"&gt;http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D9S45RQ00.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Barack Obama is highlighting companies that have returned jobs to the U.S. and he says that's one more way of putting people back to work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The White House plans a forum Wednesday, called "Insourcing American Jobs," that will bring together business leaders who shifted work back home. The president said Saturday in his weekly radio and Internet address that the event will discuss ways business leaders can return more jobs to the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We're heading in the right direction. And we're not going to let up," Obama said on the heels of the government reporting Friday that the unemployment rate fell to 8.5 percent in December.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama noted that the jobs report showed the economy added more than 200,000 private sector jobs last month and that more than 3 million private sector jobs had been added during the past 22 months. He said the nation was "starting 2012 with manufacturing on the rise and the American auto industry on the mend."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The president said the U.S. couldn't return "to the days when the financial system was stacking the deck against ordinary Americans," citing his decision to install former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray as the director of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau while the Senate was on break, circumventing Republican opposition to the appointment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama said his "New Year's resolution" to all Americans was to "keep doing whatever it takes to move this economy forward and to make sure that middle-class families regain the security they've lost over the past decade."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New York Rep. Nan Hayworth, delivering the GOP address, said the jobs report showed the difficulty that many Americans face in finding work.

it was January 3, 2007, the day the Democrats     took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of     the 110th Congress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who are listening to the liberals     propagating the fallacy that everything is "Bush's Fault", think about this:     January 3rd, 2007, the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the     Congress:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;"&gt;

   &lt;div&gt;    &lt;div&gt;    &lt;div style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;January 3rd, 2007 was the day     that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris     Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee. The economic meltdown that     happened 15 months later was in what part of     the&lt;br /&gt;economy?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;BANKING AND     FINANCIAL SERVICES!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bush asked Congress 17 times to stop Fannie &amp;amp;     Freddie - starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US     economy. Barney blocked it and called it a "Chicken Little     Philosophy".&amp;nbsp; And who fought against reform of Fannie and     Freddie?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; OBAMA and the Democrat Congress, especially     BARNEY!&amp;nbsp; So when someone tries to blame Bush...REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd,     2007....THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bush may have been in the     car but the Democrats were in charge of the gas pedal and steering wheel     they were driving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Budgets come from Congress, not the White     House.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Democrats controlled Congress since January 2007.&amp;nbsp;     Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 &amp;amp; 2009 as well as 2010     &amp;amp; 2011.&amp;nbsp; For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi &amp;amp; Harry Reid bypassed     George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government     running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a     massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budget.&amp;nbsp; &lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Obama was a     member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending     bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;Let's     remember what the deficits looked like during that period:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the     Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the     Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the     fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in     Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted     for the budgets.&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt; In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is "I inherited a     deficit that I voted for, And then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold     since January 20th."&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This will not be publicized, unless each of us     sends it on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 10pt;"&gt;

They know she wants to leave, though. They think she’s destined for the wilderness. She has very few days left. She’s 71, she wants to have a life, she’s done. It’s obligation, that’s all I’m saying.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Alexandra Pelosi later told BigGovernment that she said “greatness” and not “wilderness.” In any case, Pelosi’s office quickly issued a &lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1211/70945.html" target="_blank"&gt;denial&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Nadeam Elshami, a spokesman for the House minority leader, said it’s simply not true.&lt;br /&gt;“This may be wishful thinking on the part of a right-wing blog, but it is totally untrue,” Elshami said. “When the day comes and Leader Pelosi’s work is done, she won’t be announcing it there.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;True. We’ll know Nancy Pelosi’s work is done when she’s announcing her retirement as the country is declaring bankruptcy and being repo’d by China.

I feel less than vindicated and can only take solace in that Obama, by all accounts, is the worst President of all time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We knew he would be....and by we, I mean me...but I don't want to be a completely stuck up know it all.&amp;nbsp; But a lot of you voted for the Obama machine,&amp;nbsp; including a lot of Republicans. You really can't blame the poor bug eyed fish. I mean, it was the plastic stinking cheese on the hook that made them swim towards the light and then bite the fake food only to get bloodied by the hook. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Truth is, Obama never should have been President, period.&amp;nbsp; I guess I could go back and regurgitate Barry's record of do nothing and voting for nothing while he was a junior Senator for a year (who wrote a shitty book about his dead beat dad). Or how he was a sorry community organizer who organized bingo games for old people. Or how he was some 'dingle-dorf' who went to HAAAHRVARD and pretended to be poor, but smart, and sold dirt just to survive. I guess he was a state senator in the corrupt and evil state of Illinois and a grand daddy political mobster in the Chicago crime...errrrr...political scene. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He played the game well, but in the end you can't fake reality.&amp;nbsp; The truth will always come out. The truth will always prevail. The truth will always show itself....eventually. The ugly head of not handling it has poked up out of the ground only to say hello to us Americans. &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;We have a President who NEVER should have been....President. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suppose he knows a few things about it now, but it's too late. Barry is not a problem solver, he is a rhetoric spewer and a word whore who whistles when he pronounces his S's. Barack is not a leader, he is a publicity prostitute with no core value system. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Obama is not a statesman, he is spot-light seeking celebrity and a Move-on.org bitch. Puppets need strings and Muppet's need hands up their asses so they can talk. They sing about rainbows and what's on the other side. But never, ever, ever do they have new innovations that will truly lead us to the promised land of prosperity in America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The philosophies of the left and Barack have been given the ultimate test and they have failed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No more can democrats say that they have the right stuff. No more can they offer up a shiny, new toy. Their credibility is shot to economic recession hell. Seriously, the next time the democrats say hey look at this guy he is so "articulate," run like a pimp at church. All democratic Presidential candidates should be highly scrutinized mainly because the stupid in America are no longer the fumbling word murderers from the Bush family, it's the glazed over romantic fools called democrats and their pretty speech giving President that did NOT save the 'peeps' (i.e. people). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for nothing donkey's. Your President sucks. Your Congress sucked and never forget that you are an epic fail. I'm not gonna lie. Most politicians are tools. They are manhandled by many and quite frankly, it's like a big fat Greek wedding when you punch a chad. You elect one guy and you get the whole family of tools. But this misnomer was catastrophic.

Maybe it’s just me, but it’s starting to become unrecognizable. As I spent my last few days in New York City I saw the streets lined with shoppers at all hours of the day. A few weeks ago I saw people fighting over waffle makers and toasters. It seems like people are more focused on “me” and “mine” rather than on the true meaning of the season.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;                 &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;                 &lt;span style="font-family: georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Whether or not you believe there is a “War on Christmas”, you can’t deny that the real meaning of December 25th is being forgotten. Atheist billboards are replacing nativity scenes and our President is lighting a Menorah as just an excuse for a “good party”. I’m sorry, but if you’re lighting a candle just because it's that time of year then you are missing the point – that miracles can happen and that God is here to light the way in the darkness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;                 &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;                 &lt;span style="font-family: georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;If you are celebrating next to a “Holiday Tree” and all you care about is shopping and presents then you are missing the transformative nature of Christmas. It’s an idea that is repeated in every story this time of year from &lt;em&gt;A Christmas Carol&lt;/em&gt; to&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Miracle on 34th Street &lt;/em&gt;– the idea that we can believe in powers greater than ourselves and we can be fundamentally transformed. The themes of redemption, selflessness and transformation go all the way back to The Bible with the birth of a baby in a manger in Bethlehem.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;                 &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;                 &lt;span style="font-family: georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;With our obsession over “stuff” we are missing out on the good things in life – the gifts that don’t need to be wrapped. It’s not about waffle makers or toasters, the true power and meaning of Christmas is about doing the right thing and helping each other. And it’s not supposed to be contained to a two-week season and then forgotten. We are supposed to take these gifts with us throughout the whole year. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;                 &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;                 &lt;span style="font-family: georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;I hope you spend the next few days with your family and friends and celebrate the real meaning of Christmas. I hope you reach out to others in need and offer a helping hand, and I hope you get to celebrate the season free from oppression, judgment, or “Holiday Trees”. And finally, I hope you find the transformative power of this miraculous season.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3896883888103750252-7212954310732688872?l=destinbeachbum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/feeds/7212954310732688872/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/12/repost-of-glenn-becks-christmas-message.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/7212954310732688872'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/7212954310732688872'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/12/repost-of-glenn-becks-christmas-message.html' title='REPOST OF GLENN BECK&apos;S CHRISTMAS MESSAGE'/><author><name>MaxMaster</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07345748918182416054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0rgUR70k5gE/S1IiCr9OIKI/AAAAAAAACjs/0fLcyrIUD6o/S220/Morton+Arb+(4).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896883888103750252.post-5978049490348593070</id><published>2011-12-16T09:14:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2011-12-16T09:14:07.879-06:00</updated><title type='text'>NO WONDER THE ECONOMY IS SO F**KED UP!</title><content type='html'>With economic advisers like Jon Corzine, what could possibly go wrong?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="315" width="560"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Quag9dp1Nn4?version=3&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;rel=0"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Quag9dp1Nn4?version=3&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If&amp;nbsp; ObaMao gets re-elected, I wonder what his czars and advisers will do to our country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3896883888103750252-5978049490348593070?l=destinbeachbum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/feeds/5978049490348593070/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/12/no-wonder-economy-is-so-fked-up.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/5978049490348593070'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/5978049490348593070'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/12/no-wonder-economy-is-so-fked-up.html' title='NO WONDER THE ECONOMY IS SO F**KED UP!'/><author><name>MaxMaster</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07345748918182416054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0rgUR70k5gE/S1IiCr9OIKI/AAAAAAAACjs/0fLcyrIUD6o/S220/Morton+Arb+(4).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896883888103750252.post-6854302266976634253</id><published>2011-12-15T09:41:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2011-12-15T09:46:45.019-06:00</updated><title type='text'>FACTS ABOUT THE EVIL, GREEDY, RACIST REPUBLICANS</title><content type='html'>EVERYBODY knows that Republicans are EVIL!

Disgraceful At Best!</title><content type='html'>In a 2008 campaign speech, the Liar-in-Chief proclaimed:&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt; “I'll make our government open and transparent so that anyone can ensure that our business is the people's business.&amp;nbsp; No more secrecy. That is a commitment that I make to you as president.”&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like many things with this friggin' liar, his actions are not fulfilling his promises.&amp;nbsp; The latest bit of transparency news has to do with Operation Fast and Furious because it looks like basic details is about all anyone can expect to get, thanks to the Obama administration now sealing court records of the details of the death of this U.S. Border patrol agent.&amp;nbsp; So the most transparent administration in history has locked up the information and thrown away the key, leaving the public and the media wondering exactly what role the Obama administration played in the death of this Border patrol agent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But this shouldn’t come as a shock, based on the history of the Obama administration thus far.&amp;nbsp; Did you know that the federal government’s 35 largest agencies actually decreased the number of fulfilled FOIA requests by more than 12,400?&amp;nbsp; Also: “The Obama administration censored 194 pages of internal e-mails about its Open Government Directive,” according to the Associated Press.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Within the first month of Obama’s administration, he was already granting waivers for his lobbyist ban.&amp;nbsp; The administration, according to insiders, has developed a reputation for “ruthlessly prosecuting whistleblowers.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And remember the Black Panther voter intimidation case?&amp;nbsp; The Obama administration illegally refused to comply with subpoenas and FOIA requests for information about why the case was dismissed by the Justice Department.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those are just some of the many examples to show how Barack Obama is full of sh*t.&amp;nbsp; He can campaign on transparency and then run the least transparent government, perhaps, in modern history.&amp;nbsp; Who knows … when it is all said and done.&amp;nbsp; He can run a campaign based on not being a tax and spend liberal, but he can spend at record-shattering levels.&amp;nbsp; Look, actions speak louder than words.&amp;nbsp; Too bad that most of the American people don’t have time to follow up on his actions and simply rely on his words as their source of information.&amp;nbsp; Ignorance is bliss...but tragic for the futures of our kids and grandkids.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;WAKE UP AMERICA AND SEE WHAT THIS PIECE OF CRUD IS DOING TO US!!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3896883888103750252-6173381734396773524?l=destinbeachbum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/feeds/6173381734396773524/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/12/obamas-record-on-transparency.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/6173381734396773524'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/6173381734396773524'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/12/obamas-record-on-transparency.html' title='Obama&apos;s Record On Transparency!

Hall, a former Massachusetts state senator and U.S. Marine Corps veteran who is also the author of the 2005 book The Good Bits (The Marines, the Massachusetts Senate and Managing Associations). Robert Hall blogs as The Old Jarhead at &lt;a href="http://tartanmarine.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;tartanmarine.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;, and the piece quoted here, titled "I'm Tired," was his blog entry for 19 February 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 13pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"I'm 76 and I'm Tired"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I'm 76&lt;/b&gt;. Except for               brief period in the 50's when I was doing my National Service,               I've worked hard since I was 17. Except for some some serious               health challenges, I put in 50-hour weeks, and didn't call in sick               in nearly 40 years. I made a reasonable salary, but I didn't               inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given               the economy, it looks as though retirement was a bad idea, and I'm               tired. Very tired.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 18pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;               &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 13pt;"&gt;I'm               tired&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 13pt;"&gt; of               being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't               have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will               take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to               people too lazy to earn it.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 18pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;               &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 13pt;"&gt;I'm tired&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 13pt;"&gt; of being told that Islam is               a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories               of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their               family "honour"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of               Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't               "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims               stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims               mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah,               because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to.&amp;nbsp;               &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 18pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;               &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 13pt;"&gt;I'm               tired&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 13pt;"&gt; of               being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let               Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries use our oil money to fund               mosques and mandrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in Australia,               New Zealand, UK, America and Canada, while no one from these               countries are allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious               school in Saudi Arabia or any other Arab country to teach love and               tolerance..&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 18pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;               &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 13pt;"&gt;I'm               tired&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 13pt;"&gt; of               being told I must lower my living standard to fight global               warming, which no one is allowed to debate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 13pt;"&gt;I'm tired&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 13pt;"&gt; of being told that drug               addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them,               and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a               dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses or               stick a needle in their arm while they tried to fight it               off?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 18pt;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;               &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 13pt;"&gt;I'm               tired&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 13pt;"&gt; of               hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of all               parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or               youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake               was getting caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of               entitlement, rich or poor.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 18pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;               &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 13pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;I'm really tired&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 13pt;"&gt; of people who don't take               responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing               them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for               their problems. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 10.5pt;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;I'm               also tired&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 13pt;"&gt; and fed up with seeing               young men and women in their teens and early 20's bedeck them               selves in tattoos and face studs, thereby making themselves               un-employable and claiming money from the Government.               &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 18pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 13pt;"&gt;Yes, I'm damn               tired.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 13pt;"&gt; But               I'm also glad to be 76.. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to               see the world these people are making.

Scandals to the right of us, scandals to the left of us. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take your pick. There’s the media assault on GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain, the deadly "Fast and Furious" federal gun-running case, the Solyndra solar loan fiasco, the collapse of MF Global, led by former Democratic N.J. Gov. Jon Corzine and, of course, the deeply disturbing allegations of child sexual abuse at Penn State. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the real scandal isn’t any one of those. It’s how journalists pick and choose which controversies to play up and which to play down. They are so inconsistent, you’d think they studied ethics at Penn State under Joe Paterno.&amp;nbsp; Heck, maybe he studied under them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take the allegations against Cain. We are watching ABC’s George Stephanopoulos attack Herman Cain on how he deals with women. This is the same George Stephanopoulos who worked for admitted draft dodger, accused rapist, acknowledged lecher, adulterer, perjuror, disbarred lawyer, impeached former president, Bill Clinton and did his best to undermine attacks against him. Remember, Clinton was charged with a variety of women-unfriendly incidents including rape. Yes, rape. Not that the networks made a big deal of it at the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here’s Stephanopoulos, on page 267 of his autobiography “All Too Human,” "Most important, I wanted to keep reports of Paula [Jones'] press conference off television ... It wasn't a hard sell.” His book goes on to say how he tried to discredit her. Yes, this openly Democratic operative is a “newsman” now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t believe it for a second. The different between “journalist” and Democratic Party operative is often non-existent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It shows in everything they do. We aren’t even two weeks into CainFest 2011 and the broadcast networks have done 117 stories on him. One-hundred and seventeen? That’s more than a small war would get. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually, it’s 58 times more than a small war has gotten. Obama ordered troops into Uganda in October, before the Cain allegations came out. CBS and NBC have each mentioned it once since then. ABC hasn’t mentioned it at all.&amp;nbsp; But the networks don’t care about American soldiers at risk. They are more concerned that Obama’s presidency is at risk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That’s the only explanation for how they’ve covered, or not covered, the "Fast and Furious" scandal. You’ve had to look hard to find consistent coverage of this corrupt government program that cost the life of at least one law enforcement officer. Allegedly the goal was to track U.S. guns to drug cartels and arrest gun runners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the program was poorly run and it cost the life of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. A good leader would take responsibility for that. A moral leader would have called the family to talk to them or meet with them in person. Attorney General Eric Holder didn’t do either. All he did do was lie to Congress about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Holder, the program was furiously “flawed in its concept and flawed in its execution.” That skips any blame for when he told Congress he had heard of the program only weeks before. Now we know that’s just not true. In any other city than Washington, D.C., what Holder did was a boldfaced lie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not that you’d know it from most network news. While CBS’s Sharyl Attkisson has shown her top-flight skills as a journalist, and been abused by the Obama administration for it, her competing networks have abandoned their responsibility to their viewers. Both NBC and ABC skipped the House Republican roasting Holder received on Capitol Hill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s been much the same in the Solyndra scandal. There only ABC has shown any semblance of journalistic skill covering Obama’s failed green program. It’s a $500-million scandal involving an Obama fundraiser, a solar panel company that had a dot.com era idea on how to make a profit (none) and it’s gotten nowhere near the media coverage a Republican scandal might have gotten. (Just ask Herman Cain.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A recent Media Research Center analysis found “just 15 stories mentioning the Solyndra scandal since its August 31 bankruptcy filing.” For those who find math difficult – like many journalists – that’s about one eighth of the stories the Cain controversy has gotten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But hey, Solyndra wasn’t run by a former governor considered as a possible Treasury Secretary and hailed by news outlets as an economic expert. That would be a real scandal. Or not, if he had the infamous “D” after his name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The former governor is Jon Corzine, who has the reverse Midas touch. He’s run Goldman Sachs, New Jersey and, most recently, MF Global, which just collapsed amidst a $2-billion bankruptcy. MF Global fell apart in what CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin called a “mini Ponzi scheme.”&amp;nbsp; But not one story on ABC, CBS or NBC has mentioned that Corzine is a Democrat, was considered an Obama adviser and possible pick for a top spot in his administration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every time there’s a controversial story, media types are making these choices. They love the Occupy Wall Street crowd, so they play up the good from those protests, despite rapes, vandalism, arson, assaults on police and more. But they hate the Tea Parties, so everything they do is somehow nefarious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;It’s time the media covered their own scandals. They have plenty.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Dan Gainor is the Boone Pickens Fellow and the Media Research Center’s Vice President for Business and Culture.

failures'/><title type='text'>OBAMA'S LIES, FAILURES AND IMPACT ON YOUR KIDS' FUTURES</title><content type='html'>This will illustrate how badly Obama has screwed things up with his Keynesian economic policies.&amp;nbsp; In a speech delivered to a labor union convention in September of 2009, Barack Obama said the following: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt; “All in all, many middle-class families will see their incomes go up by about $3,000 because of the Recovery Act, helping them get back much of what they've lost due to this recession.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Recovery Act?&amp;nbsp; That was Obama’s $850 billion dollar stimulus job that failed to stimulate.&amp;nbsp; We were told it would create jobs.&amp;nbsp; Now, two years later, the Obama junta can only weakly mew that it “saved” jobs …. We’re so impressed.&amp;nbsp; So, two years and $800+ billion later, how did it REALLY turn out?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; According to a Sentier report using Census data, the median American household income has actually fallen during the “recovery.”&amp;nbsp; “Real income fell by 3.2 percent during the recession.&amp;nbsp; And during the recovery it went down by 6.7 percent.” So “income has declined twice as much in the recovery as in the recession itself.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oops.&amp;nbsp; Obama says that the stimulus act is going to raise middle class incomes by about $3,000 per household --- and those incomes have fallen by 6.7%.&amp;nbsp; Who’s fault is this?&amp;nbsp; Need you ask?&amp;nbsp; It’s Bush’s fault, of course!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now just in case you’re one of those Americans who haven’t bought into this “Bush’s fault” horse crap, take a look at some of Obama’s initiatives and see if we can start to form an understanding as to just why government spending and increased regulation hasn’t been the “stimulus” he promised: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stimulus – Failed&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cash for Clunkers – Failed&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mortgage Relief – Failed&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ObamaCare – Failed&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dodd-Frank – Failed&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And on top of this record spending and increased regulation he wants to add … tax increases?&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go ahead folks.&amp;nbsp; Support this incompetent leftist in his bid for reelection.&amp;nbsp; Incompetent?&amp;nbsp; Have you ever taken a look at his record as a community organizer in Chicago?&amp;nbsp; We haven’t found a record of one single community organizing initiative championed or led by Barack Obama in Chicago that showed any lasting positive results. He was as much of a failure there as he is as our president.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Support Obama – then vote for him – and tell your children how you played such a huge role in destroying any chance they may have had for a lifestyle any better than the one they’re experiencing now.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3896883888103750252-1163015388309433973?l=destinbeachbum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/feeds/1163015388309433973/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/11/obamas-lies-failures-and-impact-on-your.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/1163015388309433973'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/1163015388309433973'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/11/obamas-lies-failures-and-impact-on-your.html' title='OBAMA&apos;S LIES, FAILURES AND IMPACT ON YOUR KIDS&apos; FUTURES'/><author><name>MaxMaster</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07345748918182416054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0rgUR70k5gE/S1IiCr9OIKI/AAAAAAAACjs/0fLcyrIUD6o/S220/Morton+Arb+(4).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896883888103750252.post-954683848281100823</id><published>2011-11-10T19:54:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2011-11-10T19:55:06.714-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='George LeMieux'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bill Nelson'/><title type='text'>BULLSH*T LETTER FROM OBAMA CORRUPTOCRAT IN FLORIDA.</title><content type='html'>Here is a recent letter sent to constituents in Florida from Obama puppet, Senator Bill Nelson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Dear Friends,                           &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://email.capitolhillnewsonline.com/q/s4lVRTMLYZFT6J_5DxV0Fe_IfqHKNBBLrPhiAXHcmJ5uNaWGhDa6CWwkf" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img align="right" alt="Facebook" border="0" href="http://www.capitolenews.com/mailings/nelson/remote_passalong.asp?msgID=5327072&amp;amp;from_userID=-2147483648" hspace="5" usemap="#13385add56967c2e_Map2" vspace="5" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;                                    &lt;map name="13385add56967c2e_Map2"&gt;                                                                                                                                                                                            &lt;/map&gt;   The right to vote is, and always has been, at the foundation of our  democracy.  But this fundamental right is under serious attack right  now, in Florida and more than a dozen other states.  Many believe a  handful of super-rich conservative activists are behind an orchestrated  effort to keep millions of seniors, younger voters and minorities from  casting ballots next year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether or not that’s true, a civics teacher at New Smyrna Beach High  School in Florida was on the receiving end of just such an attack last  month.  The teacher, Jill Cicciarelli, ran afoul of Florida’s new  election law while helping some of her students pre-register to vote.     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have met with her and some of her students, and it’s no surprise  they’re not happy with the state’s new voting law.  Neither is their  local supervisor of elections, who under the law was required to report  them to state authorities.  Volusia County Supervisor of Elections Ann  McFall says parts of the law are egregious and unenforceable. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, it’s not just me who thinks this law is aimed at suppressing the  vote.  Look at what informed editorial writers have also had to say:  &lt;i&gt;The Orlando Sentinel&lt;/i&gt; said the new law “amounts to… ripping apart election laws” and “weakening democracy.”  &lt;i&gt;The Tampa Tribune&lt;/i&gt; said this bill “isn't fooling anybody. It's not about clean elections.”  And &lt;i&gt;Florida Today&lt;/i&gt; called it an “assault on the most cherished of American rights.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a nutshell, the Florida law reduces the number of days for early  voting from 14 to eight and exposes people who register others to vote  to harsh penalties even for innocent mistakes.  That’s why the widely  respected League of Women Voters has abandoned its voter registration  drives in Florida after 72 years.     &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="right" bgcolor="#0A4259" border="0" cellpadding="0" style="width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;     &lt;td&gt;&lt;table align="right" border="0" cellpadding="2" style="width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;     &lt;td bgcolor="#0A4259"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;   &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;     &lt;td bgcolor="#0A4259"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wrote Gov. Rick Scott a letter last month asking  him to support a revamping or repeal of the law.  I also wrote U.S. Sen.  Richard Durbin, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the  Constitution, to ask that we conduct a congressional investigation to  see if Florida’s law was part of a plan that led to similar voting law  changes in more than a dozen other states this year.  And I have asked  the Justice Department to look into who’s behind these changes."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;***************************************************************** &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Bill, you say the right to vote is at the foundation of our democracy. But we are not a democracy in case you aren't aware of it.&amp;nbsp; We are a Republic...as in Republican.&amp;nbsp; We don't believe the scare tactics being put out there by the DNC any more.&amp;nbsp; You and your party's miserable record of destroying our economy speaks for itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We need to work for Tea Party Republicans to gain control of the Senate, as they did with the House, and end Harry Reid's reign as Majority Leader.&amp;nbsp; Floridians want policies that empower job creators and get the government out of our daily lives. Obama and his Democrat puppets, including you, want to gain more control over our lives and increase government regulations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You say many believe a handful of super-rich conservative activists are behind an orchestrated effort to keep millions of seniors, younger voters and minorities from casting ballots next year.&amp;nbsp; What a bunch of hooey!&amp;nbsp; Where do you dig up these people that you use as examples?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During your four decades as a career politician, you voted for billions in tax hikes, pork-laden bills, Obamacare, amnesty, and massive spending. It's time to retire you and your fellow career Obamacrats and get this country back on track.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why don't you do Floridians, and the country, a great patriotic favor and retire now instead of waiting until next year to get booted out.&amp;nbsp; And while you were writing fellow Obama crony, Dick Durbin, did you remember to ask him about producing documents to help investigate the Solyndra Scandal?&amp;nbsp; The Fast and Furious scandal?&amp;nbsp; How about the millions in bonuses being paid to FNMA and Freddie Mac while those agencies continue to lose billions...what are you doing about that?&amp;nbsp; Why don't you tell us your opinions on Eric Holder?&amp;nbsp; Why are you so silent about that corrupt AG?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think more than ever we need George LeMieux's voice and votes in the Senate.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;

For years, we all thought it was small business that was the heart and soul of the U.S. economy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most people understood that it was the private sector that created the real jobs – sustainable jobs that were the building blocks for people’s lives, and consequently, the foundation for our country’s solid future. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, along comes Barack Obama, who firmly, and I am ardently convinced, believes the public sector is the real job creator. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything from shovel ready to green energy has been tried by this administration in order to change the path of rising unemployment, to no avail. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, however, the truth can be told. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The real job creator is neither the public nor the private sector. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rather, the real job creator is a single bean-counter who works in a small room with a green eyeshade pulled over his head at the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He’s the person who overlays the Birth/Death (B/D) statistics on all monthly jobs reports.&amp;nbsp; Most people think the B/D is simply a measurement of how many workers lived or died during the month. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In reality, the B/D is the approximate number of new businesses created with new employees netted against the businesses that closed and the people who lost their jobs.&amp;nbsp; This statistic is overlaid against the actual number of workers either hired or fired.&amp;nbsp; During prior administrations, this B/D number was plus-or-minus a few thousand. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Obama administration has taken the B/D to an entirely new art form, with the plus-or-minus becoming hundreds of thousands. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems they thought nobody would notice, and guess what?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They were right. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The latest monthly jobs report shows 80,000 new jobs created. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Birth/Death overlay was plus 103,000, which means the country actually lost 23,000 jobs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But have no fear, with a phantom jobs report nobody really noticed, least of all the mainstream media. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, when books are written about this chapter in American history, recognition for job creation will not be given to the small or large business entrepreneurs, nor the President or his political cronies. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rather, all the praise will be given to that diligent, ever-present bureaucrat, who, with a wave of his magic pencil created 42% of all jobs reported in 2011. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank goodness for the BLS and the Birth/Death model. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It may not be real, but it sure looks good on paper and it certainly sounds great on the nightly news.&amp;nbsp;

The 2012 campaign  has barely begun, but Biden’s thin skin makes a spring roll wrapper look  impenetrable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Biden’s office is now calling for an official investigation of a  young editor who dared to question His Highness. Jason Mattera of the  conservative-leaning &lt;a href="http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=46983" target="_blank"&gt;Human Events&lt;/a&gt;  magazine confronted the veep last week on his hysterical claims that  rape and murder would increase if Congress didn’t ram through the  half-trillion-dollar White House jobs bill. The testy exchange between  the audacious journalist and the temper-challenged Beltway pol took  place in a Senate hallway:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mattera: Do you regret using a rape reference to describe Republican opposition to the president’s bill?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Biden: I didn’t use it. No, no, no, what I said, let’s get it  straight, guys. Don’t screw around with me. Let’s get it straight.  Listen to me. I said rape was up, three times, in Flint (Michigan).  They’re the numbers, go look at the numbers. Murder’s up, rape is up,  burglary’s up, that’s exactly what I said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mattera: And if Republicans don’t pass this bill, then rape will continue to rise?&lt;br /&gt;Biden: Murder will continue to rise, rape will continue to rise, all crimes will continue to rise.&lt;br /&gt;Never mind that the statistics in Flint actually show no correlation  between crime rates and the number of police officers in the city. It’s  never about the &lt;a href="http://www.factcheck.org/2011/10/bidens-whopper-in-flint-mich/" target="_blank"&gt;facts&lt;/a&gt;.  It’s about the shameless demonization of Biden’s and Obama’s political  opponents — and those in the press who would dare question their  doom-and-gloom narratives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After jabbing his finger in Mattera’s face, Biden stalked off, and  one of his rattled press aide protectors yelped: “Who are you with?”  Like playground tattletales who just got smacked in the face after  cheating at tetherball, Team Biden then reported Mattera’s  transgressions to the Senate press gallery and the standing committee of  correspondents. &lt;a href="http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/189521-biden-complains-after-dust-up-with-reporter" target="_blank"&gt;The Hill&lt;/a&gt; newspaper reported on Tuesday that “the matter is under review.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Biden’s crude response to Mattera’s challenge — “Don’t screw around  with me” — is par for the Beltway Bubble Boy’s course. This entitled  blowhard has long sought to bully reporters and ordinary citizens who  question Bidenrhhea of the mouth.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3896883888103750252-3817502641370099731?l=destinbeachbum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/feeds/3817502641370099731/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/10/hole-biden-explains-12-top-reasons-to.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/3817502641370099731'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/3817502641370099731'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/10/hole-biden-explains-12-top-reasons-to.html' title='A-hole Biden Explains 12 Top Reasons To Pass Jobs Bill'/><author><name>MaxMaster</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07345748918182416054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0rgUR70k5gE/S1IiCr9OIKI/AAAAAAAACjs/0fLcyrIUD6o/S220/Morton+Arb+(4).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9Vy2U5546is/TqrIJds_hwI/AAAAAAAAGLA/pHOGkj5CNvA/s72-c/Biden+12+reasons.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896883888103750252.post-1115835647622436036</id><published>2011-10-25T10:22:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-10-25T10:22:56.840-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='political snippets'/><title type='text'>POLITICAL SNIPPETS</title><content type='html'>Here are some political snippets I copied off the web for your enjoyment:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;============================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div id=":11s"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BO  has rolled out his latest slogan: “We can’t wait.”&amp;nbsp; One of Obama’s dog  washers explains, "We can't wait for Congress to act, so we're going to  take the steps that we can take.”&amp;nbsp; Within the Constitution?&amp;nbsp; Well I  guess that remains to be seen.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The constitution is simply an obstacle  in their way of achieving Obama’s version of the American Dream. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;But in a sense Obama is right … we can’t wait.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We Can’t Wait for the private sector to create jobs for Americans ready to work.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We Can’t Wait for a president with respect for our Constitution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We Can’t Wait for a president with an appreciation of the power of the free market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We Can’t Wait to have a president who does not eat, breathe and sleep with labor unions.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We Can’t Wait to bring spending back in line &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Oh well .. you get the idea.&amp;nbsp; I guess the bottom line is that We  Can’t Wait to correct the massive error we made four years ago.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;==============================&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;==========&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If President Barack Obama were a legal document, he'd be a sub-prime home loan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The nation's housing crisis seems an apt metaphor for the president  and his political position one year before he stands for re-election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like  nearly a quarter of the mortgage loans outstanding on U.S. homes, Obama  is under water. His poll ratings are low and sinking. Gallup records 43  percent approval, 49 percent disapproval. Three-quarters of American  voters think the country is on the wrong track under his leadership. In  moving into the White House -- a very fancy address -- Obama bought a  lot more house than he could afford, based on his ability and  experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;==============================&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It’s  weird protesting on Bay Street.

Jesse Jackson Jr?&amp;nbsp; He said that Obama should  declare a “national emergency” on the issue of jobs, which would allow  him to act without congressional approval.&amp;nbsp; He compared the current  Congress to the states in rebellion during the Civil War.&amp;nbsp; He said, “If  there are extra-constitutional opportunities that allow the president  administratively to put the people to work, he should pursue every  single one of them.”&amp;nbsp; That’s Jesse Jackson Jr., a chip off the old race  pimp block, calling for the Constitution to be set aside. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;==============================&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;===========&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id=":11s"&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3896883888103750252-1115835647622436036?l=destinbeachbum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/feeds/1115835647622436036/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/10/political-snippets.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/1115835647622436036'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/1115835647622436036'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/10/political-snippets.html' title='POLITICAL SNIPPETS'/><author><name>MaxMaster</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07345748918182416054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0rgUR70k5gE/S1IiCr9OIKI/AAAAAAAACjs/0fLcyrIUD6o/S220/Morton+Arb+(4).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896883888103750252.post-9115717800444667819</id><published>2011-10-10T17:37:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-10-10T17:37:18.139-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='uninsured motorists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='illegal aliens'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='proof of insurance'/><title type='text'>What a Great Idea....Uninsured Cars Off The Road</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Recently, the City of  Dallas, Texas, passed an ordinance stating that if a driver is pulled  over by law enforcement and is not able to provide proof of insurance,  the car is towed.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;To retrieve the car  after being impounded, they must show proof of insurance to have the car  released.

Nancy Pelosi said “God bless them” and that no longer will the “recklessness of some on Wall Street cause massive joblessness on Main Street.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2008, Obama raked in millions upon millions in campaign cash from Wall Street, and Nancy Pelosi’s husband made his bones as an investment banker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;History won’t record this as the largest protest ever, but it might take the prize for the most hypocritical.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But wait a minute: Here's a Nancy Pelosi update about this madness:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt; “I have concerns about some of the language that is being used because I saw this myself in the late 70s in San Francisco, this king of rhetoric. … It created a climate in which violence took place. … I wish we would all curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements and understand that some of the ears that it is falling on are not a balanced as the person making the statements may assume.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wait, nevermind — that was in reference to the Tea Parties in 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, Pelosi managed to pin some of the blame for the ongoing Wall Street protests on… you guessed it: George W.

He Has No Sense of Entitlement&lt;br /&gt;Cain wasn’t born into a life of privilege. Yet he bore no resentment because of it. He believed in the American Dream yet understood he had to work hard for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. He Worked at Burger King&lt;br /&gt;Cain was assigned to manage some of the least successful Burger King restaurants in the country and turned them into the most profitable. To do this he improved service and kept customers satisfied. It would be a remarkable if Cain could do for the federal government what he did for Burger King.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. He Has Never Held Elected Office&lt;br /&gt;I am not suggesting there isn’t any honor in public service. Unfortunately, many elected officials (Democrats and Republicans alike) use their office in service of themselves rather than the people who elect them. Public officials are preoccupied with re-election and such a preoccupation doesn’t lend itself towards innovation because innovation is risky and risk can alienate a public official’s donors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. He Is a Mathematician&lt;br /&gt;President Obama tells us that passing his jobs bill is “simple math.” Well, Cain majored in math at Morehouse University. He is in the rare position of being able to tell President Obama, “I am a trained mathematician. I have looked at your numbers and can tell you that they don’t add up.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. He Was a CEO&lt;br /&gt;Hollywood often casts businessmen as villains and President Obama has spent a great deal of his Presidency vilifying CEOs (unless, of course, you happen to be the CEO of a company that got $500 million plus to manufacture expensive solar panels nobody wanted.) Cain was a successful CEO. But he wasn’t plucked from central casting. He earned his way to the top. Cain could tell President Obama a thing or two about what CEOs really do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. He Is The Adult in the Room&lt;br /&gt;Cain is actually only fifteen years older than President Obama. But he strikes such a mature image that standing next to Obama he could be mistaken for his father. In an Obama-Cain debate, President Obama would come off like a petulant son who thinks he knows everything while Cain would tell Obama that he has a lot of growing up to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. He Would Make Liberal Charges of Racism Look Really, Really Stupid&lt;br /&gt;Actress Janeane Garofalo infamously said that the Tea Party was “about hating a black man in the White House” and was “racism straight up.” Yet Cain would end up as one of the most popular figures in the Tea Party movement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. The Content of His Character&lt;br /&gt;Herman Cain has demonstrated that he is a man who carries himself with a sense of humor, dignity, modesty, responsibility and gratitude towards the country that allowed him an opportunity to succeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does he know everything he needs to know to be President?

GOT THAT?&amp;nbsp; The bottom 47%&amp;nbsp; of eligible taxpayers pay nothing.&amp;nbsp; GOT THAT!&amp;nbsp; I'll repeat...NOTHING!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let’s look back into the history books and see exactly how much those evil rich people have paid in taxes over the years.&amp;nbsp; These numbers come from Stephen Moore, a senior economics writer for the WSJ editorial board and a policy analyst for the Cato Institute and the Heritage Foundation.&amp;nbsp; He says .. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt; "In the early 1960s, the highest marginal income tax rate was a stunning 91 percent. That top rate fell to 70 percent after the Kennedy-Johnson tax cuts and remained there until 1981. Then Ronald Reagan slashed it to 50 percent and ultimately to 28 percent after the 1986 Tax Reform Act. Although the federal tax rate fell by more than half, total tax receipts in the 1980s doubled from $517 billion in 1981 to $1,030 billion in 1990. The top tax rate rose slightly under George H. W. Bush and then moved to 39.6 percent under Bill Clinton. But under George W. Bush it fell again to 35 percent. So what’s striking is that, even as tax rates have fallen by half over the past quarter-century, taxes paid by the wealthy have increased. Lower tax rates have made the tax system more progressive, not less so. In 1980, for example, the top 5 percent of income earners paid only 37 percent of all income taxes. Today, the top 1 percent pay that proportion, and the top 5 percent pay a whopping 57 percent."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow, those rich people sure have been “getting away” with not paying more taxes as the years go by.&amp;nbsp; Meanwhile, the bottom 47% of our population pay NOTHING!&amp;nbsp; How is it “fair” for some to pay 38% in federal income taxes while some do not pay anything at all?&amp;nbsp; So quit whining, Libtards, and start focusing on getting them to start contributing SOMETHING to help the economy.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3896883888103750252-7311453698790144495?l=destinbeachbum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/feeds/7311453698790144495/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/09/whats-fair-about-taxing-rich-even-more.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/7311453698790144495'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/7311453698790144495'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/09/whats-fair-about-taxing-rich-even-more.html' title='WHAT&apos;S FAIR ABOUT TAXING THE RICH EVEN MORE?'/><author><name>MaxMaster</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07345748918182416054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0rgUR70k5gE/S1IiCr9OIKI/AAAAAAAACjs/0fLcyrIUD6o/S220/Morton+Arb+(4).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896883888103750252.post-4764732160126121910</id><published>2011-09-22T19:26:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-09-22T19:26:02.830-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama economy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama bullshit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama failure'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama incompetence'/><title type='text'>KIDS TELL IT LIKE IT IS</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It is plaguing President Barack Obama. And it's being billed as a Washington story.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;But back in Obama's political hometown, those of us familiar with the Chicago Way can see something else in Solyndra — something that the Washington crowd calls "optics." In fact, it's not just a Washington saga — it has all the elements of a Chicago City Hall story, except with more zeros.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;The FBI is investigating what happened with Solyndra, a solar panel company that got a $535 million government-backed loan with the help of the Obama White House over the objections of federal budget analysts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;Obama and Vice President Joe Biden got a nice photo op. They got to make speeches about being "green." But then Solyndra went bankrupt. Americans lost jobs. Taxpayers got stuck with the bill. And members of Congress are now in high dudgeon and making speeches.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;Federal investigators want to know what role political fundraising played in the guarantee of the questionable loan. Washington bureaucrats warned the deal was lousy. And White House spokesmen flail desperately, like weakened victims in a cheesy vampire movie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;So forget optics. What about smell? It smells bad, and it's going to smell worse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;Or, did you really believe it when the White House mouthpieces — who are also Chicago City Hall mouthpieces — promised they were bringing a new kind of politics to Washington?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;This is not a new kind of politics. It's the old kind. The Chicago kind.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;And now the Tribune Washington Bureau has reported that the U.S. Department of Energy employee who helped monitor the Solyndra loan guarantee was one of Obama's top fundraisers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;Fundraising? Contracts? Imagine that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;Steve Spinner was the Obama administration official in charge of handing out billions and billions of tax dollars to "green" energy deals. According to the Tribune story, Spinner the other day invited Obama's national political finance committee to a meeting in Chicago.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;The name of the Obama fundraising initiative?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;"Technology for Obama."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;The idea of the Obama fundraisers getting together, talking "green," and perhaps offering taxpayer loan guarantees to insider businesses in the interest of helping the environment — it all seems rather fresh.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;Like a mountain meadow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;Until you realize it's the same old politics, the same kind practiced in Washington and Chicago and anywhere else where appetites are satisfied by politicians. When the government picks winners and losers, who's the loser? Just look in the mirror, hold that thought, and tell me later.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;Republicans are hoping to hang this around Obama's political neck, and they're doing a good job of it now because his approval ratings are low and the jobless numbers are abysmal and the Democrats are in full killer-rabbit panic. But there have been Republican national scandals, too, and they're always ridiculously and depressingly similar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;At least in Illinois our scandals are quite ecumenical, with Republicans eager to help Democrats steal whatever they can grab.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;In Solyndra, like any proper City Hall political scandal, there are similar archetypes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;There are the guys who count. The guys who bring the cash. They count because they do the counting. They have leverage. They're always there at the fundraisers. And so they're the ones who are allowed to gorge at the public trough.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;The bureaucrats are the fulcrum so the guys with the leverage can lift great weight without too much effort. And while they might whine privately among themselves, they don't hold news conferences to blow the whistle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;They keep their mouths shut until the deal is done. If anyone gets caught and the problem becomes public, at least they've got email to cover their behinds. And they're doing a good job covering.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;But there's one group that doesn't get their behinds covered.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;Instead, their behinds are right out there, suspended foolishly, and waiting to get kicked.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;We're the taxpayers — in Illinois we call ourselves chumbolones because we're the ones who stupidly end up covering all the losses. As in the Solyndra mess.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;It's the Chicago Way, but instead of a paving or trucking contract, it's a "green" solar panel contract. The company received a $535 million loan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;"The optics of a Solyndra default will be bad," according to a Jan. 31 email from an Office of Management and Budget staffer printed in the Washington Post. "If Solyndra defaults down the road, the optics will arguably be worse later than they would be today. … In addition, the timing will likely coincide with the 2012 campaign season heating up."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;I love the use of "optics." It's one of those bloodless words finding favor these days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;"Optics" suggests bureaucrats might think in terms of symbolism, political hieroglyphs, in grand vistas, rather than in hard numbers, like the $535,000,000 that went poof.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;But it's not their money, is it? It's ours.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;So this is not about Washington optics after all. The Solyndra scandal is about the Washington smell of things.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="toolSet" style="width: auto;"&gt;Those of us from Chicago know exactly what it smells like.

of great interest for you to pass around.&amp;nbsp; I didn't know of this until&amp;nbsp; it was pointed out to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back during the great depression, Herbert&amp;nbsp; Hoover ordered the deportation of ALL illegal&amp;nbsp; aliens in order to make&amp;nbsp; jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed&amp;nbsp; work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harry Truman deported over two million illegal&amp;nbsp; aliens after WWII to&amp;nbsp; create jobs for returning veterans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1954 Dwight&amp;nbsp; Eisenhower deported 13 million Mexicans.&amp;nbsp; The program was called&amp;nbsp; Operation Wetback.&amp;nbsp; It was done&amp;nbsp; so WWII and Korean veterans would have&amp;nbsp; a better chance at&lt;br /&gt;jobs.&amp;nbsp; It took two years, but they deported&amp;nbsp; them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Operation Wetback&lt;/b&gt; was a 1954 operation by the United States &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_Naturalization_Service" title="Immigration and Naturalization Service"&gt;Immigration and Naturalization Service&lt;/a&gt; (INS) to remove illegal immigrants, mostly Mexican nationals from the southwest US.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now if they could deport the illegal aliens back then,&amp;nbsp; they could sure do it today.&amp;nbsp; If you have doubts about the veracity of&amp;nbsp; this information, enter Operation Wetback into your favorite search engine&amp;nbsp; and confirm it for yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why you might ask can't they do&amp;nbsp; this today?&amp;nbsp; Actually the answer is quite simple. Hoover , Truman, and Eisenhower were men of&amp;nbsp; honor who loved their country, not untrustworthy politicians looking for votes! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Reminder:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Don't forget to pay&amp;nbsp; your taxes - 12 to 20 million illegal&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;aliens&amp;nbsp; - are depending on&amp;nbsp; you!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;###########&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;DISCLAIMER -- WARNING!&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The  ad for Obama which may follow this post is no way an endorsement of BO  by this Blog.&amp;nbsp; We have no say as to the content of the advertising  inserted herein, and the BO ad is a reflection of the audacity and  stupidity of him and his re-election team.&lt;br /&gt;We consider him to be a bigger liar than Clinton, fundamentally  dishonest, and crippling to our economy; he has exacerbated racial  tensions, inflamed partisan divisiveness, encouraged class warfare and  demonized everyone on the right--especially members of the Tea Party  Patriots.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3896883888103750252-7372039976370800629?l=destinbeachbum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/feeds/7372039976370800629/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/09/what-did-presidents-hoover-truman-and.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/7372039976370800629'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/7372039976370800629'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/09/what-did-presidents-hoover-truman-and.html' title='What did Presidents Hoover, Truman,  and Eisenhower have in common?'/><author><name>MaxMaster</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07345748918182416054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0rgUR70k5gE/S1IiCr9OIKI/AAAAAAAACjs/0fLcyrIUD6o/S220/Morton+Arb+(4).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896883888103750252.post-598936586612541853</id><published>2011-09-12T09:59:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2011-09-15T08:33:49.898-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Al Sharpton'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rachael Maddow'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ed Schultz'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='MSNBC analysis'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Chris Matthews'/><title type='text'>MSNBC SCORES AGAIN (BIG TIME) IN ITS BIASED COVERAGE OF THE REPUBLICAN DEBATE.

The Republicans blocked it!&amp;nbsp; Republican obstructionism and partisanship is destroying our economy.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It’s not my fault.&amp;nbsp; Our economy would have recovered by now if they had only listened to me.”&amp;nbsp; And then you will hear that line from now until November 2012. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here's basically what we were told in Obama’s speech: &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Spend about a half-trillion dollars we don’t have.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Insure that as much of the new spending is spent by the government sector as possible.&amp;nbsp; Governments spending on roads, bridges and schools.&amp;nbsp; Keep as much of the spending out of the private sector as we can. (wasn't this what we were told the Stimulus money was for?)&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Make sure that to the greatest extent possible the beneficiaries of the spending are union workers --- teachers, construction workers and the like.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Tell the dumb masses once again that the evil rich and the nasty corporations are not paying “their fair share” of taxes.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Get the phrase “millionaires and billionaires” in there at least once to generate a little more class envy. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Call for the increased spending, but pass the buck on how to come up with the money to the super committee of 12 Senators and Congressmen, that way the Buffoon-in-Chief&amp;nbsp; doesn’t have to take the heat for the tax increase proposals or spending cuts in next year’s election. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But don't we get three days ( not including weekends and holidays) to read the freak'n bill?&amp;nbsp; I guess we'll need to sign it to find out whats in it.&amp;nbsp; That's how these clowns operate!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I expect it will be pretty much the same as the last stimulus wealth transfers, intended merely to take taxpayer money and give it to unions and Obama supporters. Has all of the money from the previous stimuli been accounted for? What about the millions given to people in area codes and congressional districts which do not exist? What about the billions given to government employees who merely divided it up among themselves and called it a bonus? Why should we have any expectation that THIS money will be handled with any more responsibility? I would like to see a full, independent audit of ALL money spent in the first stimulus packages before any more money is given out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Considering how bad Obama's policies worked in the past couple years, I was really expecting this speech to have lots of either sound economic policies or proposals for major debt reduction.&amp;nbsp; But nooo! What he gave us was more of the same socialist policies he's been imposing since day 1 that all but the most stubborn Obama voter admits was a horrendous failure.

take over the health care system and put it under government control, people said it didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN he claimed he was a Christian during the election and tapes were later made public that showed Obama speaking to a Muslim group and 'stating' that he was raised a Muslim; was educated as a Muslim; and that he is still a Muslim-- people said it didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN he set into motion a plan to take over the control of all energy in the United States through Cap and Trade, people said it didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN he finally completed his transformation of America into a Socialist State , people finally woke up--- but it was too late.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Add these up one by one and you get a phenomenal score that points to the fact that Barrack Hussein Obama is determined to turn America into a Marxist-Socialist society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of the items in the preceding paragraphs have been put into place. All can be documented very easily. Before you disavow this do an internet search. The last paragraph alone is not yet cast in stone.. You and I will write that paragraph. Will it read as above or will it be a more happy ending for most of America ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are an Obama Supporter don't be angry with me because I think Barrack Hussein Obama is a socialist. Far too many facts support he is indeed a Socialist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you seek the truth you will be richer for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't just belittle the opposition.. Search for the truth. Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Constitutionalists, Libertarians all need to pull together or watch the demise of a free democratic society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pray for Americans to seek the truth and take action for it will keep us FREE. Our biggest enemy is not China , Russia , North Korea , and Iran. Our biggest enemy is a contingent of politicians in Washington DC . The government will not help, so we need to do it ourselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please pass this on to others who don't know about Obama's actions and plans for the USA , so that they may know how to vote in November, 2012 and the ensuing years?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's your decision.&amp;nbsp; I believe it does matter. How about you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;###########&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;DISCLAIMER -- WARNING!&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;i&gt;The  ad for Obama which may follow this post is no way an endorsement of BO  by this Blog.&amp;nbsp; We have no say as to the content of the advertising  inserted herein, and the BO ad is a reflection of the audacity and  stupidity of him and his re-election team. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;We consider him to be a bigger  liar than Clinton, fundamentally dishonest, and crippling to our  economy; he has exacerbated racial tensions, inflamed partisan  divisiveness, encouraged class warfare and demonized everyone on the  right--especially members of the Tea Party Patriots.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3896883888103750252-4166124196303900733?l=destinbeachbum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/feeds/4166124196303900733/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/09/hey-obamait-really-does-matter-you.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/4166124196303900733'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/4166124196303900733'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/09/hey-obamait-really-does-matter-you.html' title='HEY, OBAMA...IT REALLY DOES MATTER, YOU IDIOT!!!'/><author><name>MaxMaster</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07345748918182416054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0rgUR70k5gE/S1IiCr9OIKI/AAAAAAAACjs/0fLcyrIUD6o/S220/Morton+Arb+(4).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896883888103750252.post-1305079633295113770</id><published>2011-09-02T10:44:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-09-02T10:53:44.885-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='labor union abuses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wasteful government spending'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='corrupt unions'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dumbassocrats'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dumb democrats'/><title type='text'>EXAMPLES OF WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY</title><content type='html'>EXAMPLE NO. 1&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; WASTEFUL GOVERNMENT SPENDING&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beetlemania: Feds Give 4 States $5.8 Million to Protect Insect Habitat&lt;br /&gt;Thursday, August 25, 2011&lt;br /&gt;By Terence P. Jeffrey&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(CNSNews.com) - The U.S. Department of Interior announced this week that it is giving four states $5,802,180 in grants for projects that are designed in whole or in part to protect various types of threatened or endangered beetles.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The largest of these grants is a $2,426,055 award to the state of Maryland to help protect the habitat of the Puritan tiger beetle, a threatened insect that inhabits beaches and bluffs along Chesapeake Bay in Maryland as well as along the Connecticut River in New England.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The $5.8 million in grants that will help four states protect beetles are part of a group of 48 grants totaling $53.3 million that the Interior Department said on Wednesday will go to 17 states to develop conservation plans or purchase or preserve land determined to be habitat for species that have been listed as threatened or endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EXAMPLE NO.2&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; OUTRAGEOUS UNION PRACTICES&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fiscal 2009, the Postal Service logged over 1.2 million hours in standby time. The U.S. Postal Service, which expects to lose $7 billion this year, spent $4.3 million on employees who did nothing in the first half of the year because of requirements in union agreements, an audit found.&amp;nbsp; The amount paid for so-called standby time has “significantly decreased,” down tens of millions of dollars from the amount spent just a couple of years ago, says The Washington Post, which obtained a copy of an audit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Labor agreements mandate that postal employees have a certain amount of guaranteed work hours, which means that they cannot be laid off during periods of low mail volume or unplanned events like the breakdown of equipment. This leads to “standby time,” in which employees spend the day doing nothing — for example, waiting in a cafeteria or breakroom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fiscal 2009, the Postal Service logged over 1.2 million hours in standby time, costing the agency more than $30 million. This declined to around $20 million in 2010 and is on track to be less than $10 million this year.&amp;nbsp; The report explains the decrease in standby time by saying that the employee workforce has been reduced in size over the past two years to more appropriately align with expected workload.&amp;nbsp; However, auditors found a significant amount of Postal Service officials who did not always record standby time properly, which led to improper overtime charges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite a decline in the number of hours that workers are paid to do nothing, the U.S. Postal Service remains in deep financial trouble. In the recently concluded third quarter of fiscal 2011, the agency lost $3.1 billion. “The growth in electronic communications continues to erode core first-class mail volume,” the Postal Service said in a recent release.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EXAMPLE NO. 3 &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  LAZY STUPID WELFARE DEPENDENT DUMB MASSES&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/OUj-m6Gq_2Y" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EXAMPLE NO. 4 &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; NEED MORE BE SAID?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0WxjAjzMKy4/TmD3m5cKLDI/AAAAAAAAGJo/kvxCiiMBv7A/s1600/yes+we+can+comrad2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0WxjAjzMKy4/TmD3m5cKLDI/AAAAAAAAGJo/kvxCiiMBv7A/s640/yes+we+can+comrad2.jpg" width="604" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;########&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;DISCLAIMER -- WARNING!&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;i&gt;The ad for Obama which may follow this post is no way an endorsement of BO by this Blog.&amp;nbsp; We have no say as to the content of the advertising inserted herein, and the BO ad is a reflection of the audacity and stupidity of him and his re-election team. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;We consider him to be a bigger liar than Clinton, fundamentally dishonest, and crippling to our economy; he has exacerbated racial tensions, inflamed partisan divisiveness, encouraged class warfare and demonized everyone on the right--especially members of the Tea Party Patriots.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3896883888103750252-1305079633295113770?l=destinbeachbum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/feeds/1305079633295113770/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/09/examples-of-what-is-wrong-with-this.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/1305079633295113770'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/1305079633295113770'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/09/examples-of-what-is-wrong-with-this.html' title='EXAMPLES OF WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY'/><author><name>MaxMaster</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07345748918182416054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0rgUR70k5gE/S1IiCr9OIKI/AAAAAAAACjs/0fLcyrIUD6o/S220/Morton+Arb+(4).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/OUj-m6Gq_2Y/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896883888103750252.post-5120385096743417216</id><published>2011-08-27T17:46:00.005-05:00</published><updated>2011-08-27T18:29:06.474-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rick Perry'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Texas Governor'/><title type='text'>MEET RICK  AND ANITA PERRY: THE RIGHT PEOPLE FOR THE RIGHT TIME</title><content type='html'>Rick Perry is a fifth generation Texan, the son of hardscrabble west Texas tenant farmers – Democrats but conservatives through and through. He grew up in a farm town too small to be on the state map. Life was so hard that he was six years old before his house had indoor plumbing. His mother sewed his clothes, including the underwear he wore to college.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is an Eagle Scout. After Paint Creek High School , he attended Texas A&amp;amp;M, graduated, and was commissioned into the Air Force where he became a C-130 pilot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now 61 years old, he has won nine elections to four different offices in Texas state government. In the first three elections he ran as a Democrat then switched to the Republican Party. He is currently the 47th governor of Texas – a position he has held for 11 years, the longest tenure of any governor in the nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has never lost an election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SsEvukjgzIU/TllzQUC_nMI/AAAAAAAAGJY/L4T7T1OzPoA/s1600/Rick_Perry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="239" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SsEvukjgzIU/TllzQUC_nMI/AAAAAAAAGJY/L4T7T1OzPoA/s320/Rick_Perry.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rick Perry was the Lieutenant Governor to whom Governor George Bush handed over the office after winning the 2000 Presidential election. Since then, Perry won gubernatorial elections in 2002, 2004, and 2010, the last time by 55% against a field consisting of a Democrat, a Libertarian, a Green Party, and an Independent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since he became its Governor, Texas – a right to work state that taxes neither personal income nor capital gains – has added more jobs than the other 49 states combined. In the last two years, low taxes and little regulation led his state to create 47% of all jobs created in the entire nation. Five of the top ten cities with the highest job growth in the nation are in Texas . People follow jobs, so in the last four years for which data are available, Texas led every state in net interstate migration growth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perry signed ground-breaking “loser pays” tort reform and medical litigation rules that caused malpractice insurance rates to fall. Some 20,000 doctors have since moved to Texas ..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Texas boasts 58 of the Fortune 500 companies – more than any other state. Since May 2011 Texas resumed its pre-recession employment levels. Only two other states and the District of Columbia have done that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Texas ships 16% of the nation’s export value. California trails at 11%. Of the 70 companies that have fled California so far in 2011, 14 relocated in Texas ..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this year’s Texas legislative season, Perry got most of what he wanted. With no new taxes, a fiscally lean state budget was passed leaving $6 billion in a rainy day fund even as other states around the country struggled to balance budgets and avoid more deficit borrowing. A voter ID bill passed that was designed to prevent ballot box fraud and illegal voting. A bill passed that makes plaintiffs pay court costs and attorney fees if their suits are deemed frivolous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perry scored points even in his legislative failures. He failed to get sanctuary cities banned – Texas towns in which police cannot question detainees about their immigration status. The blame fell on the legislature. Perry also failed to get a so-called “anti-groping” bill passed that would put Transportation Security Administration agents in prison if they touch the genitals, anus, or breasts of passengers in a pat down. Federal officials threatened to halt all flights out of Texas airports and the bill died in special session. That endeared Texans even more to TSA employees living in Texas ..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perry jogs daily in the morning. He has no bodyguard with him, but his daughter’s dog runs by his side and he carries a laser-guided automatic pistol in his belt. Last year while jogging in an undeveloped area, a coyote paralleled his jogging route, eyeing his dog. He drew his pistol and killed the animal with one shot, leaving it where it fell. “He became mulch," Perry said. Animal rights groups protested, but Perry shrugged it off. “Don’t come after my dog,” he warned them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently, Obama asked Perry to delay the July 7 execution of Humberto Leal in order to comply with the International Court of Justice in The Hague and the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. Perry refused. Therefore Obama asked the US Supreme Court to delay the execution because it would damage US foreign relations. The Court refused 5-4 and Perry ordered the execution to go forward as scheduled. Over the howls of diplomats, politicians, and the UN, Leal was administered a lethal injection at 6:20 p.m. Before he died, he admitted his guilt and asked for forgiveness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The case has special implications for Perry, who is considering a run for the presidency in 2012. Even his critics resent federal interference in a Texas execution, which is related to a state, not a federal, crime – an alcohol and drug-fueled rape and murder 17 years ago by an illegal whose family brought him into the country 35 years ago as a child. The interference hinges not on the man’s guilt, which Leal’s advocates acknowledged, but on a technicality – failure to inform Leal that he could have gotten legal representation from the Mexican consulate in lieu of the court-appointed attorneys who represented him. Independent Texans saw Obama’s interference as another intrusion of federal power into the affairs of a state, which could cost Obama support in other states.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Needless to say, Perry is a hard-edged conservative and a ferocious defender of 10th Amendments rights (“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”) – an explicit restriction of the federal government to only those powers granted in the Constitution. Perry accuses the federal government, especially the Obama administration, of illegal overreach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perry said “no thanks” to the feds whose stimulus offered taxpayer dollars for education and unemployment assistance. The strings on “free money” from Washington , he said, would restrict Texas in managing its own affairs. Perry even depleted all state funds to fight recent wildfires before asking Washington for disaster relief. His request has been ignored, which comes across as an unvarnished federal power play, further pitting Perry and Texans against the federal government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ANITA PERRY:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anita Perry is a native Texan from Haskell. She is dedicated to improving the health of her state, preserving its culture and promoting its outstanding business climate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mrs. Perry worked as a nurse for 17 years in surgery, pediatrics, intensive care, administration and teaching. Her advocacy for the profession has been recognized by Texas Tech University, which renamed its nursing school in her honor in 2008. To aid in the nursing shortage, two endowments are set up in her name: The Anita Thigpen Perry Nursing Excellence Scholarship at West Texas A&amp;amp;M University, and The Anita Thigpen Perry Endowment at the University of Texas at San Antonio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2000 she created an empowering and educational event, the annual Texas Conference for Women, which brings together more than 7,000 women from across the state. A small-town girl herself, she has a passion for the authenticity of Texas and recognizes preservation efforts through her annual First Lady's Texas Treasures Award.

&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;So  Obama issues this executive order, and the administration repeals one  stinking rule.&amp;nbsp; In the meantime, since the beginning of this year, the  administration has proposed 340 new regulations that are estimated to  cost us $65 billion .. and this is the just the cost they could estimate  based on the rules that actually underwent an economic analysis.&amp;nbsp; That  figure is definitely higher.&amp;nbsp; So let’s get this straight .. Obama’s new  plan is said to save $10 billion over the next five years, so $2 billion  a year.&amp;nbsp; Meanwhile, in this year alone he has proposed $65 billion in  new rules.&amp;nbsp; And we are supposed to be hailing this as a great victory?&amp;nbsp;  I’m not surprised though.&amp;nbsp; This is the same administration that has  increase spending by 25% and then claims that we can’t afford spending  cuts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;If Obama was seriously  about stimulating our economy, he would do something drastic about  government regulations.&amp;nbsp; Repealing ObamaCare would be a wonderful  start.&amp;nbsp; Imagine if Americans suddenly had $2.8 trillion more money in  their pockets to spend and invest .. imagine what that could do for our  economy!&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0811/61894_Page2.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;Why $2.8 trillion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;?&amp;nbsp;  That is the amount of money that government regulations are projected  to cost U.S. taxpayers each year.&amp;nbsp; That is money spent complying with  government rules and regulations.&amp;nbsp; This means that &lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0811/61894_Page2.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;the average worker worked 77 days this year&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; just to pay the price of complying with government regulations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;By the way .. who manages to weasel themselves out from under the thumb of government regulations?&amp;nbsp; Union bosses.&amp;nbsp; Seriously!&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://biggovernment.com/dloos/2011/08/23/obama-labor-department-to-re-define-term-employer-to-exclude-union-bosses-eliminates-union-disclosure/" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;Just take a look&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Today's New York Times reports that as China  strives for leadership in the world’s most advanced industries, it sees  commercial jetliners — planes that may  someday challenge the best from &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_304844221"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;Boeing and Airbus — as a top prize.&amp;nbsp; And no Western company has been more aggressive in helping China pursue  that dream than one of the aviation industry’s biggest suppliers of jet  engines and airplane technology, G.E.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;On Friday, during the visit of the Chinese president, &lt;a class="meta-per" href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/h/hu_jintao/index.html?inline=nyt-per" title="More articles about Hu Jintao."&gt;Hu Jintao&lt;/a&gt;,   to the United States, G.E. plans to sign a joint-venture agreement in  commercial aviation that shows the tricky risk-and-reward calculations  American corporations must increasingly make in their pursuit of  lucrative markets in China.        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; G.E., in the partnership with a state-owned Chinese company, will be  sharing its most sophisticated airplane electronics, including some of  the same technology used in Boeing’s new state-of-the-art &lt;a class="meta-classifier" href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/business/companies/boeing_company/787_dreamliner/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier" title="More articles about the Boeing 787 Dreamliner."&gt;787 Dreamliner&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; For G.E., the pact is a chance to build upon an already well-established  business in China, where the company has booming sales of jet engines,  mainly to Chinese airlines that are now buying Boeing and Airbus planes.  But doing business in China often requires Western multinationals like  G.E. to share technology and trade secrets that might eventually enable  Chinese companies to beat them at their own game — by making the same  products cheaper, if not better.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; The other risk is that Western technologies could help China play  catch-up in military aviation — a concern underscored last week when the  Chinese military demonstrated a prototype of its version of the  Pentagon’s stealth fighter, even though the plane could be a decade away  from production.        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; The first customer for the G.E. joint venture will be the Chinese  company building a new airliner, the C919, that is meant to be China’s  first entry in competition with Boeing and Airbus.        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4WKfC0RtLTs/TlRVSGG3jiI/AAAAAAAAGJQ/Pnap8l1dUuM/s1600/bo567.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4WKfC0RtLTs/TlRVSGG3jiI/AAAAAAAAGJQ/Pnap8l1dUuM/s320/bo567.jpg" width="295" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;In addition, General Electric is            planning to move its 115-year-old X-ray division from Waukesha, Wis.,            to Beijing. In addition to moving the headquarters, the company will            invest $2 billion in China and train more than 65 engineers and create            six research centers. This is the same GE that made $5.1 billion in            the United States last year. but paid no taxes-the same company that            employs more people overseas than it does in the united            States.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So            let me get this straight.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; President Obama appointed GE            Chairman Jeff Immelt to head his commission on job creation (job            czar).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Immelt is supposed to help create jobs. I guess the            President forgot to tell him in which country he was supposed to be            creating those jobs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this doesn't show you the            total lack of leadership of this President, I don't know what            does.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3896883888103750252-1658302024561891993?l=destinbeachbum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/feeds/1658302024561891993/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/08/ge-and-china-more-obama-leadership.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/1658302024561891993'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/1658302024561891993'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/08/ge-and-china-more-obama-leadership.html' title='GE AND CHINA: MORE OBAMA LEADERSHIP FAILURE'/><author><name>MaxMaster</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07345748918182416054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0rgUR70k5gE/S1IiCr9OIKI/AAAAAAAACjs/0fLcyrIUD6o/S220/Morton+Arb+(4).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4WKfC0RtLTs/TlRVSGG3jiI/AAAAAAAAGJQ/Pnap8l1dUuM/s72-c/bo567.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896883888103750252.post-3257362425831384648</id><published>2011-08-21T11:12:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-08-21T11:12:55.533-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='immigration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='illigal immigration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Arizona Immigration Law'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Illegal Immigrants'/><title type='text'>Theodore  Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an  AMERICAN in 1907.</title><content type='html'>I, for one, am sick and tired of this "multi-culturism" crap permeating throughout the Liberal moronic enclaves in this country.&amp;nbsp; We are acquiescing to the many demands of too many illegal immigrants who, beside having no right to be here, are demanding that we change our lifestyles, laws and regulations to satisfy them.&amp;nbsp; Meanwhile, their loyalties and allegiances remain with their country of origin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I SAY "BULLSH*T TO THAT!&amp;nbsp; And I agree with Teddy's philosophy as clearly stated below. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="242" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OUfCarVasog/TlEqYYnANLI/AAAAAAAAGI8/ONTQ-0G9TbI/s400/%2521%2521%2521Ted+R.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #010101; font-family: Benguiat Bk BT; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;'In &amp;nbsp;the first place, we                  should insist that if the &amp;nbsp;immigrant who comes here in good                  faith becomes &amp;nbsp;an American and assimilates himself to us,                  he &amp;nbsp;shall be treated on an exact equality with                  &amp;nbsp;everyone else, for it is an outrage to &amp;nbsp;discriminate                  against any such man because of &amp;nbsp;creed, or birthplace, or                  origin.

When your "friends" cannot explain why they voted for Democrats, give them this list.&amp;nbsp; They can then pick their reasons from this "TOP 12"...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. I voted Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. I voted Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. I voted Democrat because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. I voted Democrat because I believe that people who can't tell us if it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. I voted Democrat because I'm not concerned about millions of babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. I voted Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social&lt;br /&gt;Security benefits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. I voted Democrat because I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution&lt;br /&gt;as the Democrats see fit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. I voted Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. I voted Democrat because I think that it's better to pay billions to people who hate us for their oil, but not drill our own because it might upset some endangered beetle or gopher. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. I voted Democrat because while we live in the greatest, most wonderful country in the world, I was promised "HOPE AND CHANGE".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. I voted Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my ass, it's unlikely that I'll ever have another point of view.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QyGuwtyc-lo/Tk9BVHoUeEI/AAAAAAAAGIk/dgk6NOllCzs/s1600/bo+mad+mag+idiot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="505" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QyGuwtyc-lo/Tk9BVHoUeEI/AAAAAAAAGIk/dgk6NOllCzs/s640/bo+mad+mag+idiot.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3896883888103750252-2285608445480624886?l=destinbeachbum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/feeds/2285608445480624886/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/08/top-12-reasons-to-vote-democrat.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/2285608445480624886'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/2285608445480624886'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/08/top-12-reasons-to-vote-democrat.html' title='Top 12 reasons to vote Democrat'/><author><name>MaxMaster</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07345748918182416054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0rgUR70k5gE/S1IiCr9OIKI/AAAAAAAACjs/0fLcyrIUD6o/S220/Morton+Arb+(4).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QyGuwtyc-lo/Tk9BVHoUeEI/AAAAAAAAGIk/dgk6NOllCzs/s72-c/bo+mad+mag+idiot.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896883888103750252.post-1875167117228663674</id><published>2011-08-12T10:10:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-08-12T10:12:04.108-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lost Freedom'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='LOSER -IN-CHIEF'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ben Stein'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='firearms'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gun Control'/><title type='text'>WE'VE FIGURED HIM OUT!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;WE'VE FIGURED HIM OUT!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Ben Stein&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why was President Barack          Obama in such a hurry to get his socialized medicine bill passed?          Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The          American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted for a pig          in a poke in 2008. (Pig in a poke means: an offering or deal that is          foolishly accepted without being examined first.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They wanted so          much to believe Barack Obama was somehow better and different from other          ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They ignored          his anti-white and anti-American writings in his books. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They          ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by          "his" minister, Jeremiah Wright.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They ignored his refusal to          explain years at a time of his life as a student.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They ignored          his ultra-left record as a "community organizer," Illinois state          legislator, and Senator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The American people ignored his total          zero of an academic record as a student and teacher, and his complete          lack of scholarship when he was being touted as a scholar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now,          the American people are starting to wake up to the truth. &lt;br /&gt;Barack          Obama is a super likeable super leftist, and not a fan of this country.          &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The American people have already awakened to the truth that the          "Stimulus" Bill -- a great idea in theory -- was really an immense bribe          to Democrat interest groups, and in no way helped all          Americans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The American people already know that Mr. Obama's plan          to lower health costs while expanding coverage and bureaucracy is a          myth, a promise of something that never was and never can be -"a          bureaucracy lowering costs in a free society."&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Either the costs go          up or the free society goes away... an historical truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These          are perilous times. Mrs. Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of State, has          given Iran the go-ahead to have nuclear weapons, an unqualified betrayal          of the nation. Now, we face a devastating loss of freedom at home in          health care. It will be joined by controls on our lives to "protect us"          from global warming, itself largely a fraud - if believed to be caused          solely by man.. She has also signed on to a Small Firearms Treaty at the          U.N. This is a back door gun control move. This is approved by the          Senate and a 2nd Amendment majority doesn't exist in the Senate now. It          will supersede all U.S. Law and the 2nd Amendment. All citizen firearm          possession will be eliminated through confiscation.

Since the President's speech I've heard from thousands and thousands of  folks who responded to his call.  I also sensed growing support in  Congress to avert a first-ever government default early next week.  Thus  I’m optimistic about quick passage of some $2.7 trillion in savings and  spending cuts – cuts that wouldn’t hurt Medicare, Medicaid or Social  Security.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;  Such a solution strikes me as a fair compromise – and, exactly the kind of thing I think we need right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to pass along your thoughts, just &lt;a href="mailto:senatorbillnelson@capitolenews.com?subject=RE:+Weigh+in+on+the+debt+plans" target="_blank"&gt;click here to send me an email&lt;/a&gt;.

The economy  is vastly improved from what it was when Barack Obama was sworn into  office as president. We were in economic free-fall. There were  predictions that we were headed to the second Great Depression. We were  losing up to, over 700,000 jobs a month, we were contracting at greater  than 6 percent — our economy was. So, the economy has improved. It has  not improved enough. &lt;br /&gt;“Well, there’s no question that we face headwinds, and the president  has been very direct about that. And we need to do everything we can,  across the front, to ensure we’re doing what we can to spur growth, spur  job creation.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;But here's the real story, not that delusional bullcrap. &lt;br /&gt;When Obama took office the unemployment rate was 7.2 percent — today, two and a half years later, it’s &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/publicdata/explore?ds=z1ebjpgk2654c1_&amp;amp;met_y=unemployment_rate&amp;amp;tdim=true&amp;amp;dl=en&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;q=us+unemployment+rate" target="_blank"&gt;9.2&lt;/a&gt; percent. Gas was about &lt;a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/watercooler/2011/mar/30/gas-prices-double-under-obama/" target="_blank"&gt;$1.79&lt;/a&gt; a gallon when Obama took office. Today it’s &lt;a href="http://www.gasbuddy.com/" target="_blank"&gt;$3.68&lt;/a&gt;. There are around 13 million more people on &lt;a href="http://www.fns.usda.gov/pd/34SNAPmonthly.htm" target="_blank"&gt;food stamps&lt;/a&gt;  today than there were in January of 2009. Sure, almost anybody can find  statistics to suit their own argument, but all finger pointing to cast  blame aside, if Carney actually believes it’s “uncontestably true” that  the economy has “vastly improved” since January of 2009, he needs an  uncontested psych evaluation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3896883888103750252-6355086620147968164?l=destinbeachbum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/feeds/6355086620147968164/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/07/jay-carney-obamas-delusional-puppet.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/6355086620147968164'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/6355086620147968164'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/07/jay-carney-obamas-delusional-puppet.html' title='JAY CARNEY:  OBAMA&apos;S DELUSIONAL PUPPET (WHAT IS HE SMOKING?)'/><author><name>MaxMaster</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07345748918182416054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0rgUR70k5gE/S1IiCr9OIKI/AAAAAAAACjs/0fLcyrIUD6o/S220/Morton+Arb+(4).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896883888103750252.post-6474583609286884349</id><published>2011-07-20T16:46:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-07-20T16:46:32.140-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Joe Walsh'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Chris Matthews'/><title type='text'>FINALLY...AN ILLINOIS CONGRESSMAN WITH GUTS TO CALL OBAMA A LIAR</title><content type='html'>Ya gotta love this guy.&amp;nbsp; He wouldn't back down from Chris Matthews' badgering, in fact he put Matthews down when he said Obama doesn't give him tingles up his leg (in reference to Matthews remark about BO doing that to him)...Ha!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="420" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://videos.mediaite.com/embed/player/?layout=&amp;amp;playlist_cid=&amp;amp;media_type=video&amp;amp;content=VW4WQ53C6PZNK41B&amp;amp;read_more=1&amp;amp;widget_type_cid=svp" width="419"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For that JOE WALSH, you get a big &lt;b&gt;"ATTABOY!"&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/b&gt;Keep up the fight!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3896883888103750252-6474583609286884349?l=destinbeachbum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/feeds/6474583609286884349/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/07/finallyan-illinois-congressman-with.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/6474583609286884349'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/6474583609286884349'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/07/finallyan-illinois-congressman-with.html' title='FINALLY...AN ILLINOIS CONGRESSMAN WITH GUTS TO CALL OBAMA A LIAR'/><author><name>MaxMaster</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07345748918182416054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0rgUR70k5gE/S1IiCr9OIKI/AAAAAAAACjs/0fLcyrIUD6o/S220/Morton+Arb+(4).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896883888103750252.post-7171126875284495582</id><published>2011-07-20T14:18:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-07-20T14:18:31.261-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Democrat Hypocrisy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Harry Reid hypocrite'/><title type='text'>QUIZ:  WHO IS THE HYPOCRITE?</title><content type='html'>&amp;nbsp;How good is your political acumen?&amp;nbsp; Take this quiz.&amp;nbsp; (Slightly edited for this quiz).&amp;nbsp; Which Republican hopeful could have made this statement?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;"How can the majority in this Congress explain to their  constituents that trillions of dollars in new debt is good for our  economy?

The Democrats are so fiscally irresponsible that Congressional Republicans are refusing to let them get away with it anymore.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.access.gpo.gov/congress/house/hd106-320/pdf/hrm89.pdf"&gt;Congressional Budget Act&lt;/a&gt; &lt;i&gt;requires&lt;/i&gt;  the federal government to operate under a duly enacted budget, and sets  out an annual timetable for the Congressional budget process.  &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;The  Democrats have simply been ignoring the law because they think it is in  their political interest to do so.  They don’t want voters to see, in  black and white, their plan to raise taxes while simultaneously  expanding the national debt, with no end in sight.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; Currently, the  Democrats are bringing to the Senate floor a series of appropriations  bills for FY 2012, which begins in October.  This is plainly illegal  under the Congressional Budget Act, Section 303(c)(1) of which provides:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;(c) APPLICATION TO APPROPRIATION MEASURES IN THE SENATE.—&lt;br /&gt;(1)  IN GENERAL.—Until the concurrent resolution on the budget for a fiscal  year has been agreed to and an allocation has been made to the Committee  on Appropriations of the Senate under section 302(a) for that year, it  shall not be in order in the Senate to consider any appropriation bill  or joint resolution, amendment or motion thereto, or conference report  thereon for that year or any subsequent year.&lt;/blockquote&gt;The  Democrats intend to circumvent Section 303(c)(1) by asking for the  Senate’s unanimous consent to waive that provision. I hope Senate Republicans will be smart enough to oppose it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Democrats are a party of scofflaws.  Not just conservatives, but all  Americans should write their Senators in an effort to require the  people’s business to be conducted legally, in public and with  transparency...NOT THE WAY OBAMA HAS BEEN DOING IT SINCE HE GOT ELECTED!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3896883888103750252-8804310080315431948?l=destinbeachbum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/feeds/8804310080315431948/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/07/democrats-party-of-scofflaws.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/8804310080315431948'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/8804310080315431948'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/07/democrats-party-of-scofflaws.html' title='DEMOCRATS: THE PARTY OF SCOFFLAWS'/><author><name>MaxMaster</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07345748918182416054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0rgUR70k5gE/S1IiCr9OIKI/AAAAAAAACjs/0fLcyrIUD6o/S220/Morton+Arb+(4).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896883888103750252.post-4992953306511676407</id><published>2011-07-14T09:12:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-07-14T09:12:35.564-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='American Patriots'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tea Party'/><title type='text'>WE THE PEOPLE......</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: #004000;

puts it this way:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;We have the worst unemployment picture since the Great Depression because Obama’s stimulus worked!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;Over two million fewer people are working in private sector jobs in our economy because Obama’s stimulus worked!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;We are still seeing record levels of foreclosures because the stimulus worked!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;i&gt;The  only thing that Barack Obama’s stimulus plan is evidence of is that  government spending does not foster a climate of economic prosperity,  particularly in the private market.&amp;nbsp; The economy does not thrive when  the government is making the economic choices.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;But it was never  Obama’s goal to bolster the private marketplace, but rather to keep  union government workers and Democrat office holders afloat.&amp;nbsp; So look  around, America … this, what we are experiencing right now, is proof  that Barack Obama’s stimulus plan worked!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God help us if this fool gets re-elected!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3896883888103750252-9169997317221119773?l=destinbeachbum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/feeds/9169997317221119773/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/07/job-losses-prove-stimulus-worked.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/9169997317221119773'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/9169997317221119773'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/07/job-losses-prove-stimulus-worked.html' title='Job Losses Prove Stimulus Worked According to the Idiot-in-Chief'/><author><name>MaxMaster</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07345748918182416054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0rgUR70k5gE/S1IiCr9OIKI/AAAAAAAACjs/0fLcyrIUD6o/S220/Morton+Arb+(4).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896883888103750252.post-3546568871062122976</id><published>2011-07-09T23:42:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-07-09T23:42:20.815-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama economy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='unemployment increase'/><title type='text'>9.2% UNEMPLOYMENT....WTF!</title><content type='html'>Hey,Libs out there, what don't you understand about this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/9dELS89CozY" width="425"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Such is the case with the White House Council of Economic Advisors’ &lt;a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/cea_7th_arra_report.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;seventh quarterly report&lt;/a&gt; on the &lt;a href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/obama-s-economists-stimulus-has-cost-278000-job_576014.html" target="_blank"&gt;impact of the “stimulus”&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The council reports that, using “mainstream estimates of  economic multipliers for the effects of fiscal stimulus” (which it  describes as a “natural way to estimate the effects of” the  legislation), the “stimulus” has added or saved just under 2.4 million  jobs — whether private or public — at a cost (to date) of $666 billion.  That’s a cost to taxpayers of $278,000 per job.   &lt;br /&gt;In other words, the government could simply have cut a $100,000 check  to everyone whose employment was allegedly made possible by the  “stimulus,” and taxpayers would have come out $427 billion ahead.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Mind you these are Obama’s own economists, so the report is like an  employee’s performance evaluation that was filled out by the employee.  The absolute truth is probably much more bleak.&lt;br /&gt;Over ten years, the CBO says the stimulus will raise the federal deficit $830 billion — &lt;a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2011/05/26/cbo-stimulus/" target="_blank"&gt;$43 billion more&lt;/a&gt; than originally estimated.&lt;br /&gt;Which brings us to President Obama’s &lt;a href="http://weaselzippers.us/2011/07/02/o%E2%80%99s-weekly-address-%E2%80%9Cit-would-be-nice-if-we-could-keep-every-tax-break-but-we-can%E2%80%99t-afford-them%E2%80%9D/" target="_blank"&gt;weekly address&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Now, it would be nice if we could keep every tax break,  but we can’t afford them. Because if we choose to keep those tax breaks  for millionaires and billionaires, or for hedge fund managers and  corporate jet owners, or for oil and gas companies pulling in huge  profits without our help — then we’ll have to make even deeper cuts  somewhere else. We’ve got to say to a student, ‘You don’t get a college  scholarship.’ We have to say to a medical researcher, ‘You can’t do that  cancer research.’ We might have to tell seniors, ‘You have to pay more  for Medicare.’ &lt;/blockquote&gt;Or how about we say to the White House, “You don’t get to spend the  remaining $164 billion earmarked for a ‘stimulus’ that is clearly a  failure.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To steal a line from a military recruiting campaign years ago, “it’s a  great place to start” — but unfortunately the painfully obvious options  never seem to be on the table.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3896883888103750252-524077017242712939?l=destinbeachbum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/feeds/524077017242712939/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/07/each-job-saved-or-created-by-stimulus.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/524077017242712939'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/524077017242712939'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/07/each-job-saved-or-created-by-stimulus.html' title='Each Job ‘Saved or Created’ by the Stimulus Cost taxpayers $278,000 (So Far)'/><author><name>MaxMaster</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07345748918182416054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0rgUR70k5gE/S1IiCr9OIKI/AAAAAAAACjs/0fLcyrIUD6o/S220/Morton+Arb+(4).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896883888103750252.post-871499295168107544</id><published>2011-07-01T09:21:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-07-01T09:21:09.982-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama Communist'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama Socialist'/><title type='text'>HOW CAN ANYONE DOUBT THAT OBAMA IS A SOCIALIST?</title><content type='html'>There is no doubt that Barack Hussein Obama is a communist.  His core  views and opinions defy everything America stands for.  He is therefor a  threat to this country and should be treated as an enemy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This couldn't have been said any better.&amp;nbsp; Thanks to Neal Boortz for this gem:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Forty percent of Americans think that  our economy is in a permanent state of decline and will never get  better.&amp;nbsp; Five out of ten Americans, one out of two, think that there is  virtually no chance that their children will have better lives than they  did.&amp;nbsp; That has been the American dream for generations.&amp;nbsp; For  generations that has been the American dream – that I’ll work hard, I’ll  care for my children, I’ll nurture them, I’ll see that they are  educated, and they will have a better life than their parents had.&amp;nbsp; That  dream is gone.&amp;nbsp; It is going.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;&lt;em&gt;At  this point, to be completely honest and absolutely honest with you, my  disgust and contempt for Barack Obama grows every time I see his  picture, every single time I see that face and every time I hear him  speak.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I’m 66 years  old and I love this county, and I thank God every day that I was born in  this country.&amp;nbsp; My father was born on a farm in Central Texas to German  immigrants and joined the Marine Corps in WWII.&amp;nbsp; Because he joined the  Marine Corps, his standard of living rose above his parents.&amp;nbsp; Every one  of his kids … he had three … their standard of living rose above what he  enjoyed, and I’m hoping it will be the same for my daughter.&amp;nbsp; But it  stops there.&amp;nbsp; Americans have lost that confidence.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;&lt;em&gt;This  standard of living we have in this country was not brought to us by  government; it was brought to us by free people working in an economic  system of capitalism and free enterprise, where every individual out  there was empowered to pursue their dreams as far as their dreams would  take them … with the rule of law always out there to protect them from  predators – the economic predators, the criminal predators – always out  there ready to protect them.&amp;nbsp; It was the free enterprise system that  created a standard of living unsurpassed by any other economic system  anywhere in the world in the history of civilized man, and then the  people of this country put a man dedicated to the destruction of  capitalism and free enterprise in the White House.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;&lt;em&gt;As  late as the 1980s, this man, Barack Obama, was a dedicated Marxist  revolutionary.&amp;nbsp; Then his zeal was tempered somewhat because he finally  figured out that there wasn’t going to be a Communist revolution in the  United States.&amp;nbsp; His father was a Communist.&amp;nbsp; His mother was a Communist,  and when his father disappeared from his life, his mother took on a  lover who was a Communist.&amp;nbsp; He hung out with Communists in college.&amp;nbsp; He  gravitated toward Communist professors in college.&amp;nbsp; And now he is  president of the United States?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;&lt;em&gt;This  is a man who, when he decided that he was going to finally enter the  political realm, decided that he would make that announcement in the  home of two dedicated Communist revolutionaries: Bernadine Dohrn and  Bill Ayers.&amp;nbsp; Everything about this man -- from his childhood, through  college and his entry into politics -- everything about him is infused  in Marxism and anti-capitalism and a hatred for the private sector and  free enterprise and a love of government. &amp;nbsp; And he becomes president of  the United States.&amp;nbsp; And now people think the American dream is over …  that our free market economy is in permanent decline and will never get  better.&amp;nbsp; Surprised?&amp;nbsp; Not me.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;&lt;em&gt;. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3896883888103750252-871499295168107544?l=destinbeachbum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/feeds/871499295168107544/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-can-anyone-doubt-that-obama-is.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/871499295168107544'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/871499295168107544'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-can-anyone-doubt-that-obama-is.html' title='HOW CAN ANYONE DOUBT THAT OBAMA IS A SOCIALIST?'/><author><name>MaxMaster</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07345748918182416054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0rgUR70k5gE/S1IiCr9OIKI/AAAAAAAACjs/0fLcyrIUD6o/S220/Morton+Arb+(4).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896883888103750252.post-5705078777848000964</id><published>2011-06-30T20:20:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-06-30T20:21:59.811-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stimulus and bailouts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stimulus waste'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama Jobs Created'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jobs.stimulus bill'/><title type='text'>SHOVEL READY STIMULUS SPENDING WAS JUST A JOKE TO IDIOT OBAMA</title><content type='html'>Here's what Obama felt about the wasted stimulus money that was to 'kick-start' the economy, keep unemployment below 8% and prevent workers from losing their homes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/sVonk_OqEUU" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;According to a report released last August by two Republican Senators, these  are just a few of the questionable projects being funded with money  from President Obama's $862 billion dollar &lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/topics/calculator/race-to-the-top-program.htm"&gt;economic stimulus package&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among the projects singled out for criticism in the report:--A half  million dollars for new windows at the Mt.

I mean, aren’t Republicans entitled to say, you know, if gas was $3 and unemployment was 5% and the President has failed the American people, don’t they have a right to say that this President has failed the American people?” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GcGFaCrd4-4/Te4mhBCP0DI/AAAAAAAAF9w/ELP00iD9iuU/s1600/nancy-pelosi-pinocchio-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="307" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GcGFaCrd4-4/Te4mhBCP0DI/AAAAAAAAF9w/ELP00iD9iuU/s320/nancy-pelosi-pinocchio-1.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her response?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Well, if you want to go into the past, we can talk about the past all you want,” she said before adding that Americans are looking to the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, this comes from a woman and an administration that has defined their entire time in office by the actions and ‘failures’ of the Bush administration – refusing to take responsibility for any economic turmoil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IN OTHER WORDS....THEY WILL SAY, OR DO, ANYTHING TO SUIT THEIR AGENDA AT THE TIME.&amp;nbsp; THEY HAVE NO UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES OR CONVICTIONS!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3896883888103750252-4012764336734813847?l=destinbeachbum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/feeds/4012764336734813847/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/06/nancy-pelosi-and-democrats-in-general.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/4012764336734813847'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/4012764336734813847'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/06/nancy-pelosi-and-democrats-in-general.html' title='NANCY PELOSI, AND DEMOCRATS IN GENERAL, DISPLAY THEIR HYPOCRISY TIME AND TIME AGAIN'/><author><name>MaxMaster</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07345748918182416054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0rgUR70k5gE/S1IiCr9OIKI/AAAAAAAACjs/0fLcyrIUD6o/S220/Morton+Arb+(4).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GcGFaCrd4-4/Te4mhBCP0DI/AAAAAAAAF9w/ELP00iD9iuU/s72-c/nancy-pelosi-pinocchio-1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896883888103750252.post-1500609987392238402</id><published>2011-06-07T07:22:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-06-07T07:22:52.661-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Housing collapse'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FNMA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='corrupt government officials'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Franklin Raines'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FHLMC'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama.

Now that Americans have been  killed by the department's failed operation, the White House is blaming  law-abiding gun shops for its deadly scandal. But was that the  administration's plan all along?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama is calling for "commonsense" gun reforms, but as a man with a  long a history of acting to limit Second Amendment rights and advocating  gun control who tapped an attorney general with the same ideology --  and possibly the biggest gun trafficking scandal in U.S. history with  his name written all over it -- is the president really calling for  reforms or more government control?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the past, President Obama hasn't been shy about expressing his  views against the right to own a handgun and the right to carry  concealed and his support for the reinstatement of the assault-weapons  ban -- more accurately understood as a ban on semiautomatic firearms. He  believes the nation's crime problems lie with gun ownership rather than  criminals.    &lt;center&gt;&lt;/center&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;In fact, as an Illinois state senator, Obama endorsed and spoke in  support of an outright ban on ownership of all handguns and favored the  licensing and registering of gun owners. Before his run for public  office in 1996, Obama filled out a questionnaire expressing his support  for a ban on the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Considering our uber-liberal president's true beliefs on guns -- and the  anti-Second Amendment stance of the leftist base of his party -- it  shouldn't surprise anyone to read about the most recent scandal exposed in the &lt;a href="http://www.townhallmail.com/ksfklzgrkkdjlrkrjrlmgjbsspjssrpgffmzqldrdtsttv_rtvcwrnrnkn.html" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank"&gt;June issue of Townhall Magazine&lt;/a&gt; involving the Justice Department, guns, and law-abiding citizens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is well worth reading the entire article if are concerned about protecting your 2nd Amendment rights.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3896883888103750252-8402431617970272257?l=destinbeachbum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/feeds/8402431617970272257/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/06/obamas-secret-gun-control-plot.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/8402431617970272257'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3896883888103750252/posts/default/8402431617970272257'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://destinbeachbum.blogspot.com/2011/06/obamas-secret-gun-control-plot.html' title='Obama&apos;s Secret Gun Control Plot'/><author><name>MaxMaster</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07345748918182416054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0rgUR70k5gE/S1IiCr9OIKI/AAAAAAAACjs/0fLcyrIUD6o/S220/Morton+Arb+(4).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896883888103750252.post-3496737096308028916</id><published>2011-05-27T10:49:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2011-06-04T12:26:33.247-05:00</updated><catego
