Those Are Some Odds… »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Jun 24, 2009 in Current Affairs, Insurance Policies & Industry, National Debt, Obama Administration, Unions, Universal Health Care, Workers | 37 Comments

No doubt, you know there are plans afoot by Obama and Congress to extend health care benefits to all. It raises that sticky question of just how these costs will be covered. And when I say costs, I mean at least one TRILLION dollars, though I have seen estimates that are higher. [...]

Krugman: “Things Are Getting Worse More Slowly” »

By SusanUnPC on Apr 8, 2009 in American Consumers, Auto Industry, Economic Stimulus, Economy, Michigan, Unemployment, Workers | 16 Comments

Of course, if you’re Rosily The Riveted ‘Bot Rachel Maddow, you optimistically title the segment, “Things Are Looking Up?.” Dear readers, please wade through the gushing over Obama’s visit to Iraq to get to Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman; it’s worth it because the economist and NYT columnist covers a lot of territory, including the Treasury [...]

“G-20 Ends US Economic Sovereignty” »

By SusanUnPC on Apr 4, 2009 in Charitable Contributions, Economy, G20, Tax stimulus package, Unemployment, Workers | 34 Comments

This is a disturbing, important video about what Obama did to this nation on April 2nd, and I am COUNTING ON YOU to give us feedback. (While Mr. Morris is not one of my favorite persons - his obsession with dissecting the Clintons has marred his credibility at times - when he discusses other [...]

Obama’s Economy of Torture »

By Larry Johnson on Mar 30, 2009 in Auto Industry, Commerce, Current Affairs, Economic Stimulus, Economy, G20, General Motors & Chrysler, Governance, President Barack Obama, Tim Geithner, Tom Daschle, U.S. Treasury, Workers, treasury department | 156 Comments

(This is essential reading that I bumped up - Susan)
Remember when George Bush and Dick Cheney could rely on the many in the media to help them euphemize that dirty word, “torture?” It wasn’t torture, it was “enhanced interrogation.” That’s like calling the amputation of a leg, “enhanced skin removal below the waist.” [...]

“Real Life Card Check Experience” & Wide Open Thread »

By SusanUnPC on Mar 27, 2009 in Open Thread, Unions, Workers | 36 Comments

Did you catch this story on Bret Baier’s “Special Report”? It gives me the creeps that these unions can resort to such tactics. They might as well hold a gun to these workers’ heads; it’d sure be faster than wearing them down by stalking them. It’s like the rough-’em-up tactics of the Hoffa days (and [...]

By SusanUnPC on Mar 25, 2009 in Economic Stimulus, Economy, Governance, Health Care, Obamatopia, Obamatopia Mirage, President Barack Obama, Toxic Assets, Workers | 43 Comments

Here’s Paul Krugman, on camera, on Geithner’s “toxic assets” plan, announced Monday: “This is something they can do without legislation. They found a way that they can in effect put the public on the hook for a TRILLION DOLLARS for this stuff without actually getting any approval.” It can be done through the FDIC and [...]

Lilly Ledbetter Kicks Goodyear’s Tires »

By Pat Racimora on Jan 30, 2009 in Barack Obama, Civil Rights, Supreme Court, Workers | 66 Comments

(bumped up from yesterday, about the historic legislation for women!)

As Lilly Ledbetter approached her retirement after working as a Goodyear plant supervisor for many years, someone slipped her a disturbing fact. Her male colleagues had been making far more than she was. She sued.
A jury found Goodyear guilty, but the Supreme Court threw [...]

This Is What Is Wrong With The Democratic Party - UPDATED WITH VIDEO LINK »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Dec 10, 2008 in CNN, Chicago, Chicago politics, Democratic Party, James Carville, Misogyny, Sexism, Workers | 95 Comments

That men like James Carville do not see why blatant disrespect for women in this manner is a problem. I am speaking, of course, of the Favreau photograph. You know, this one:

Of course, the former Romney spokesman wasn’t much better, but he did not go off like Carville did about how [...]

By Larry Doyle on Nov 11, 2008 in American Consumers, Banking Institutions, Barack Obama, China, Credit Card Companies, Current Affairs, Dubai, Economic Stimulus, Economy, Mortgage Crisis, Real Estate, Retail Businesses, Workers | 49 Comments

I will admit that, given the current dynamics at work in the economy and the markets, I have become somewhat numbed as to the magnitude of some of the developments. Many of the highlights that I will offer from yesterday’s news would be enormous stories in and of themselves. Taken collectively, they do become overwhelming [...]

Yes, it seems that the chickens are starting to come home to roost for some Obama worshippers, uh, I mean, supporters. Those of us using the analytical portion of our brains knew that Obama’s hype was too good to be true, but apparently, these workers for Obama are learning a harsh reality - he [...]

A Not Very Bright Robin Hoodwink »

By Uppity Woman on Nov 2, 2008 in Bamboozling, Barack Obama, Bolshevikization, Economy, Joe Biden, Obama Comrades, Obamatopia, Workers | 156 Comments

I’ll tell you what Greed is. Greed is coveting and then taking what somebody else earned and owns that you didn’t earn and don’t own. That’s greed. In some quarters, it’s called burglary. Sometimes it’s called mugging. Other times it’s called extortion. But it’s still thievery by any other name.
The San Diego-Union Times has a [...]

“Obama: Learning the limits of his advisers’ class-warfare strategy.” »

By medusa on Sep 14, 2008 in Advertising, Age Discrimination, Barack Obama, David Axelrod, MoveOn.org, Race Card, Sarah Palin, Workers | 354 Comments

Mark Cunningham’s article Why Bam’s Flailing, in the September 10 New York Post, makes clear why Obama’s numbers are slipping and his solid ground has turned to shifting sands. Simply put, Axelrod’s main tactic of stirring up class warfare and playing the race-card in a divide-and-conquer strategy doesn’t work on the national stage. Cunningham writes:
IF [...]

Tonight at 9pm ET on Bud White’s Hidden Agenda: An interview with James Lee Burke.
