Obama, Mr. Doom and Gloom »

Good grief, have you caught Obama on the campaign trail recently? Mr. Hope and Change has become Mr. Doom and Gloom. His new campaign rhetoric is to go around the country telling you how horrible the Republicans are, and all of the terrible things that will befall you, your children, and the country, should you [...]

President Obama has done his darndest to go around Congress on a number of issues. His latest attempted end-run is for those who are in over their heads with their mortgages. Not just any mortgages, of course – only those by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. You know, the very institutions which helped to get [...]

Harry Reid And Joe Biden Have Gone Off The Deep End »

Seriously. I don’t know what he and Joe Biden are smoking or drinking these days, but they need to stop. They are just making idiots of themselves in public on our dimes. First to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Reid has declared that the problem with unemployment isn’t the lack of private sector jobs. Nope, [...]

“The GOP Is Stupid, And I Do, Too, Want Long Term Insurance!” »

That’s the latest from our illustrious (cough, cough) president in a nutshell. The problem with his jobs bill isn’t what is IN the jobs bill, but that the GOP is just too darn stupid to get it through their thick heads what an awesome, fantastic, super duper plan it is, or at least all at [...]

Politically Homeless… »

Whether as the result of crony capitalism, monied interests calling the shots in Washington, the myriad broken promises of politicians of both parties, millions of Americans find themselves “Politically Homeless.” According to ABC News’ Amy Bingham, an organization called Americans Elect Aims to Bypass Parties with Online Presidential Nomination. Neither party is anxious to undo [...]

There is so much going on in the news today. A few stories are mentioned below, but these are just the tip of the iceberg. Feel free to add some of your own. First there is the massive upset in New York City when a Republican, Bob Turner, took Anthony Weiner’s seat, the first time [...]

Why Obama »

By Linda Anselmi on Aug 5, 2011 in Current Affairs, Economy | 49 Comments

If you’ve been wondering why President Obama’s “fixes” for solving healthcare, unemployment, the housing foreclosure crisis and now the debt ceiling “crisis’ have only managed to continue the downward spiral for the American people? If, since 2009, you’ve wondered why President Obama has been such an inept negotiator for the American people? Why his administration [...]

What (or Who) Killed The Job Market? »

By Steve_in_KC on Jul 28, 2011 in Banks, Current Affairs, Economy | 34 Comments

* Bumped Up * In the office where I work, there is one guy I consider a friend. Our friendship is based mostly on our shared political leanings and our ability to converse intelligently. We talk about the way things are with the economy, politics, and world events. Most of the time we agree with each [...]

“Waste Not, Want Not” »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Jul 21, 2011 in Afghanistan, Bailouts, Congress (House & Senate), Crime, Current Affairs, Deficit, Economy, Egypt, Foreign Aid, Governance, Pakistan, SEC, State Department | 44 Comments

The old Ben Franklin adage, is apparently one with which our government is unfamiliar. Just within the past few days, three major wasteful decisions have come to light. The first is in the State Department. This wasn’t just a wasteful decision, but an unethical, immoral, and I have to hope, illegal one. Within the State [...]

Who Knew The White House Could Be Even More Obtuse? »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Jul 20, 2011 in Bamboozling, Congress (House & Senate), Current Affairs, Deficit, Economy, Flip Flopping, Hoodwinking, President Barack Obama | 148 Comments

But yet, they can. This has got to be my all-time fave from the current White House spokeseasel, Jay Carney. He came out with a real doozy in response to some questions from ABC News journalist, Jake Tapper regarding the debt issue with which we are dealing: [snip] TAPPER: OK. The House is passing something [...]

One would have to be living under a rock to not be aware of the struggles going on in Washington, SC, over the debt ceiling and the budget. Jay Leno used the following video to sum up the bickering on Capitol Hill: Uh, yeah. That sounds about right.

What A Bargain – NOT! (Corrected) »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Jul 5, 2011 in Backfire, Current Affairs, Economy, Economy-Federal Agencies, Hoodwinking, Stimulus Plan | 113 Comments

That would be the cost of each new job saved by the $666 billion dollar stimulus. A bargain it most definitely was not. But can we just pause for a moment as we look at this figure – 666? I mean, really – can this be a coincidence that the number for the Anti-Christ is [...]

What A Bunch Of Southernist BS About Boeing And SC »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Jun 23, 2011 in Bailouts, Corruption, Current Affairs, General Motors & Chrysler, Labor, Obama's Priorities, President Barack Obama, South Carolina, Unions, Washington state, Workers | 63 Comments

As some of you know, here in South Carolina, we have been under siege by the NLRB, which is attacking Boeing for moving its DreamLiner series to North Charleston. Since we already had the DreamLifter here, it wasn’t exactly an “out of the clear blue sky” kind of move. That hasn’t had an impact on [...]

Obama, “What, Me Worry?” And Other News (& Open Thread) »

That would be the Obama Administration response to the economic crisis in which we find ourselves. Oh, wait – I’m sorry, I meant to say the “bump in the road” we are enduring. Pay no attention to the rising unemployment numbers, the falling number of jobs created, or the continuing decline of housing market. I [...]
