Recovery.gov Update


Nothing new to report on the President answering the emails I wrote to him a few weeks ago. But he has been busy designing a spiffy new logo...hmmm it looks very much like an "O". Could that be an "O" for Obama? And one more tidbit. It looks like Obama wants us to follow the "Yellow Brick Road" his graph from the recovery.gov site our lining data on the transportation highway funds look like massive yellow bricks!














Commie Fashion-chic

Communist fashion is making a comeback via ADIDAS...I'm sure Sean Pen and Bill Ayers will be ordering some to wear soon. Hey Comrades when am I getting my bailout so I can "Show my love for the former USSR". For the cost of about what Obama's going to give us in our paycheck from the stimulus we can have commie accessories!

Marueen Dowd...I agree with you {?!!!)

I never in my life believed I would blog about how I agree with the "super liberal" New York Times's Op-Ed columnist Maureen Dowd. I can't tell you how strange this feels, but I think it is a sign of things to come in the Age of Obama. Even the most liberal pundits can't rationalize Obama's reckless fiscal behavior. I recommend reading it all (see post below), here are a few choice excerpts I never in my life would think that Maureen Dowd would pen:

"In one of his disturbing spells of passivity, President Obama decided not to fight Congress and live up to his own no-earmark pledge from the campaign. He’s been lecturing us on the need to prune away frills while the economy fizzles. He was slated to make a speech on “wasteful spending” on Wednesday{3.4.09}..."

“You know, there are times where you can afford to redecorate your house and there are times where you need to focus on rebuilding its foundation,” he said recently about the “hard choices” we must make. Yet he did not ask Congress to sacrifice and make hard choices; he let it do a lot of frivolous redecorating in its budget..."

"Team Obama sounds hollow, chanting that “the status quo is not acceptable,” even while conceding that the president is accepting the status quo by signing a budget festooned with pork."

Obama blind to Wall Street

Obama now tries to sell us the idea that you should'nt be paying attention to the everyday "gyrations of the stock market". Is he even looking at the stock market? He goes on to say this: "And, you know, the stock market is sort of like a tracking poll in politics. You know, it bobs up and down day to day. And if you spend all your time worrying about that, then you're probably going to get the long-term strategy wrong." Hello Obama! The market has no confidence in your policies! Maybe the market is telling you that you have the wrong long-term strategy for this country!

WH prescription for winter doldrums: Go Sleeveless

The First Lady's official White House portrait has been released. And as you can see Michelle has selected yet another sleeveless number. Hmmm...I wonder if we are seeing a subliminal message here. As during the Great World Wars, designers limited the use of fabric because the Government was using much of it on the war effort. Can the lack of sleeves on the dresses of our First Lady be a clear sign that all Americans should refrain from having clothing with sleeves, thus doing their duty to limit the fabric on covering the arms and therefore saving on the fabric production of sleeves to help the War on Terror? Something to think about... more on Michelle: http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/michelle_obama/

Obama's tax contract for America

Via ABC News: Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich charged Friday that the cap-and-trade proposal contained in President Barack Obama's budget amounts to a $640 billion "energy tax" over eight years that will break the new president's pledge not to raise taxes on the middle class.
"Let me get this straight," said Gingrich. "We're not going to raise tax on anybody making under $250,000 a year unless you use electricity. And we are not going to raise taxes on anybody under $250,000 a year unless you buy gasoline. And we are not going to raise taxes on anybody who makes under $250,000 a year unless you buy heating oil. And we're not going to raise taxes on anybody who earns less $250,000 a year unless you use natural gas." read more: http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenote/2009/02/gingrich-rips-o.html

But, But, But, Obama said we won't pay a dime in new taxes if we make under $250,000. Oh, so I need to look at Obama's actions now? Hmmm, looks like the middle class is gonna get taxed no matter what. Cause cap-and-trade will cause businesses, energy suppliers, manufacturers etc. to raise prices and pass it along to consumers (hidden tax courtesy of Obama's policys). Hey, cows give off methane...Will we soon see cap-and-trade $50.00 steaks at the super market...Watch the price of eggs and meat under the Obama Administration! I have a feeling you will be shocked at how much they cost in a few years.

Keeping his eye on the Ball...


So the US and possibly the world is in Economic free fall and last Friday our President had enough time in his busy schedule to catch some free throws live at the Wizards game in DC. I heard he had a good time being a normal guy despite the Dow almost tanking into 6000 territory. If only the ticker at the NYSE had a basket ball on it, would Obama then pay attention that every ones stocks are tanking. Thanks, and Love the casual outfit Barry.
