"Clown Prince" Weekly Blather; February 27th

A Patriotic Response To The "Clown Prince" 02/27/2010
Weekly Address

February 27, 2010
As the Winter Olympics draw to a close this weekend, I just want to take a minute to congratulate all the athletes who competed in these games. And I especially want to say how proud I am of all the American men and women have achieved over the last few weeks.
Whether it was the men’s hockey team’s stunning upset of the Canadians on their way to the gold-medal game, Lindsey Vonn’s heroic gold-medal comeback from a shin injury, or Apolo Ohno becoming the most decorated American winter Olympian of all time, you can’t help but be inspired by the sheer grit and athletic prowess on display in Vancouver.
And it’s not just the medal count that’s inspiring – though we’ve certainly done great on that score. What’s truly inspiring is the character of the men and women who have won those medals. The sacrifices they’ve made. The integrity they’ve shown. The indomitable Olympic spirit that says no matter who you are or where you come from or what difficulties you may face, you can work hard and train hard and still triumph in the end. That is why we watch. That is why we cheer. That is why in the middle of an extremely challenging time for America, we’ve been able to come together as one nation for a few weeks in February and swell with pride at what our citizens have achieved. [What I'm not telling you:   I'm not really in favor of the Olympics, either Summer or Winter.  They really do nothing but take the camera and media away from ME!!  How can I continually hoodwink the American public if I'm not afforded 24/7 media, camera and video coverage??  I hesitate to mention the athletes' character--even though it's great in measure--it highlights my own lack of character.  "Character" indicates a measure of moral or ethical strength.   If the topic comes up in conversation, I can't honestly claim even a modicum of either!!  I continually display a lack of moral character when STILL attempting--with the morons in the Congress--to force obamaCare down the American throat when upwards of 65% of potential voters say they're against it.  Ethics....ETHICS....??  Now there's a concept lost on me!!  Where are the ethics involved with my party demanding that the Toyota management testify before committees and sub-committees, when the party OWNS GENERAL MOTORS and a large share of CHRYSLER??  We demonstrate a clear conflict-of-interest as we torture and persecute a competitor!!!]
Now, when it comes to meeting the larger challenges we face as a nation, I realize that finding this unity is easier said than done – especially in Washington. But if we want to compete on the world stage as well as we’ve competed in the world’s games, we need to find common ground. We need to move past the bickering and the game-playing that holds us back and blocks progress for the American people.
We know it’s possible to do this. And we were reminded of that last week when Democrats and Republicans in the Senate came together to pass a jobs bill that will give small businesses tax credits to hire more workers. We also saw it when Democrats and Republicans in the House came together to pass a bill that will force insurance companies to abide by common-sense rules that prevent price-fixing and other practices that drive up health care costs.
We need that same spirit of cooperation and bipartisanship when it comes to finally passing reform that will bring down the cost of health care and give Americans more control over their insurance. [What I'm not telling you:  ANYTHING/ANYONE who doesn't roll-over-and-play-dead on any of my proposals are to me, acting in a partisan fashion.  'Bi-partisan'=conformance to my economic plans which will eventually destroy democracy in America.  Bi-partisanship will give me someone to hang the blame on when the eventual, happens!!  Tax credits for small businesses to hire more workers--is SHIT!!  I ask you:  What the hell is the benefit of more workers if there's nothing for them to do??  A far better solution would be across-the-board tax CUTS, which obamacRATics can not abide; more money in businesses' pockets; less control for the fascists.  Did the ultimate fascist--Adolph Hitler--give out tax cuts??  NO!!  He had the ultimate in control--to which I aspire!!  As I see many times in blogs and the conservative media--the logical solution to this health insurance is to allow the various insurance companies to do business acrosss state lines.  Again, more money in the public's pocket; less control for the fascists!!]  On Thursday, we brought both parties together for a frank and productive discussion about this issue. In that discussion, we heard many areas of agreement. Both sides agreed that the rising cost of health care is a serious problem that plagues families, small businesses, and our federal budget. Many on both sides agreed that we should give small businesses and individuals the ability to participate in a new insurance marketplace – which members of Congress would also use – that would allow them to pool their purchasing power and get a better deal from insurance companies. And I heard some ideas from our Republican friends that I believe are very worthy of consideration.
But still, there were differences. We disagreed over whether insurance companies should be held accountable when they deny people care or arbitrarily raise premiums. I believe they should. We disagreed over giving tax credits to small businesses and individuals that would make health care affordable for those who don’t have it. This would be the largest middle class tax cut for health care in history, and I believe we should do it. And while we agreed that Americans with pre-existing conditions should be able to get coverage, we disagreed on how to do that.
Some of these disagreements we may be able to resolve. Some we may not. And no final bill will include everything that everyone wants. That’s what compromise is. I said at the end of Thursday’s summit that I am eager and willing to move forward with members of both parties on health care if the other side is serious about coming together to resolve our differences and get this done. But I also believe that we cannot lose the opportunity to meet this challenge. The tens of millions of men and women who cannot afford their health insurance cannot wait another generation for us to act. Small businesses cannot wait. Americans with pre-existing conditions cannot wait. State and federal budgets cannot sustain these rising costs. [What I'm not telling you:  The most telling thing I can say on this issue is:  What you saw last Thursday, was NOT the massacre I had envisioned when I had the summit set up!!  Figuratively, there should have been blood-spatter on every wall, body parts hanging from the chandeliers and 'dead' republicRATs laying all over with we obamacRATics standing on the conference table, 'dusting off' our weapons!!!   I must admit, though, I looked like a bumbling idiot!!  I should have done my 'homework' on that proposal offered in my name!!  It was clearly a mistake to just scan a proposal written by one of my morons.  If the massacre I expected had materialized,  that would have been all that was necessary.  Alas, Mr Ryan of Wisconsin and Mr Cantor of Virginia, handed me my ass on a silver platter; neatly "sliced-and-diced!!"  I'm guessin' these guys have more testicular fortitude than i expected-they ain't gonna give up!!]
It is time for us to come together. It is time for us to act. It is time for those of us in Washington to live up to our responsibilities to the American people and to future generations. So let’s get this done.

This'n'That; February 26th[Phones;Entrapment]

Phone SNAFU!!
A couple of years ago, the "Young Miss Lovely" and I decided that with all the services we get from Time Warner Cable, we should get our phone service from them as well.
All was well.... for about the first twenty minutes!!  Then we started getting-NON STOP-calls from EVERY credit card company, mortgage company and collection agency ON THE PLANET!!
Each one was on the hunt for JENNIFER MIRANDA and/or ALVARADO MIRANDA to collect the various outstanding balances owed them!!
To you companies and agencies who call: 
THEY DON'T HAVE THIS NUMBER ANYMORE!!!!
To the Miranda's:  Pay  your dam' bills, ya pair'a SLUGS!!!

The "Clown Prince" Set To 'Trap' republicRATs
What the "Clown Prince" thought would be the indians trapping the soldiers in the valley of death, had a far different conclusion after 7+ hours of the obamaCare Summit photo-op.

Fluffy obama obviously didn't 'do his homework;'  without his ubiquitous teleprompter, most times he spoke, he stumbled along desperately trying to remember the details of his own ill-conceived proposal.  Fluffy proved the 'Rushism' without a doubt:  what ever room he's in-Fluffy is the least experienced; least qualified!!!
This WAS NOT the lynching the obamacRATics  were led to believe would be the end result!!  Several republicRATs who spoke, poked holes into the various proposals-at every turn. They did this with facts, with the obamacRATics' own CBO findings, with irrefutable details of Fluffy's "double accounting" and blatantly false spending amounts.                    Mr Paul Ryan, Wisconsin and Mr Eric Cantor, Virginia were obama's two primary adversaries.  Both demonstrated in each of their presentations, they were more-than-adequately prepared for the lynching!!  They convinced "the indians their group wouldn't be massacred" without a fight!!  The "Clown Prince" was "handed his ass on a silver platter" with each statement the republicRATs made!!
By-the-way.... did anyone catch Geeze-Louise McIntosh Rodham Slaughter during the obamacRATics' bumbling responses and highly speculative bouts with honesty??
["Geeze-Louise" mis-represents those in the Rochester, N.Y., area from her palatial offices in

Washington-we never see her 'live!' She devised the TELEPHONE townhall meeting!!!]
She and her family have my deepest condolences!!  During her rambling discourse, it became patently  obvious that her dementia has gotten worse.  She spoke once of one of "her constituents" who had to use her dead sister's dentures. 
I think her mind wandered back to her childhood in Kentucky and some of her neighbors.  In this day and age, it's no longer necessary to share dentures; if she assures illegal immigrants get free dental care, why not one of her own?!?!  She probably felt she had to have an equal quality sob-story as the other obamacRATic speakers; to do this, she had to think on the fly-nearly impossible for those suffering from her debilitating condition.

This'n'That; February 25th[Conflict;Reconciliation]

Conflict-Of-Interest At WhiteOut House/Congress

Just when I thought obama and the morons running his first-outwardly-fascist regime in U.S. history, couldn't get any slimier..... Some or all of these piss-ants have a conflict-of-interest concerning the auto industry, both domestic and foreign participants.

The congress has called the management of Toyota Motor Company before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. They're to address the current and ongoing recall of Toyota manufactured vehicles.

obama and-by extension-the federal government owns General [Government] Motors and a major stake in Chrysler. Where the Hell do they get off demanding the Toyota management to explain their actions concerning the recalls??

THEY OWN A SIGNIFICANT SEGMENT OF THE COMPETITION!!

This is the equivilant of Budweiser calling Coors to their offices to explain the whys and wherefores of their brewing process and the ingredients of their various products!!

HOW ASININE IS THIS??

HOW LONG MUST WE TOLERATE THIS ARROGANCE FROM THE SLIMEBALL-IN-CHIEF??

.....And The Slime Continues.....

We hear about "the nuclear option" which leaves a bad taste in the fascist, commie-lib's mouths. That phrase was changed to "reconciliation" which has the warm, fuzzy sound that the commie-libs depend on to make their economic take-over more palatable!!

Early in this century, the democRATs and premature obamacRATics decried "the nuclear option" as centralizing the power in one party in either house of the Congress.

Then-Senator obama, April 25, 2005: "A change in the Senate rules that really, uh, I think would change the character of the Senate, uh, forever, Uhhh, and what I worry about would be th-th-that you essentially still have two chambers, the House and the Senate, but you have simply majoritarian, uhhh, absolute power on either side, and that's just not what the Founders intended."

[Justin Case~~ Fluffy: Since when have you given a shit what the Founders intended? You're systematically dismantling a representative republic and installing a fascist dictatorial democracy: We all have a say.... so long as it agrees with yours!!!]

Then-Senator Clinton, May 23, 2005: So this president has come to the majority here in the Senate and basically said "Change the rules! Do it the way I want it done," and I guess there just weren't very many voices on the other side of the aisle that acted the way previous generations of senators have acted and said "Mr. President, we are with you, we support you, but that's a bridge too far. We can't go there. You have to restrain yourself, Mr. President."

The obamacRATics are continuing their "rule-by-whine," in that "the nuclear option [or reconciliation]" must be the rule-of-the-day!! It's just the next step in obfuscating the will of the majority of the American populus!!

"Clown Prince" Prattled On With Clever Verbage

[When the inexperienced, worthless, shit-bag "Clown Prince" was still the inexperienced, worthless, shit-bag senator from Illinois, he made this statement while campaigning to be the first fascist president of The United States of America:

"I also have championed greater disclosure requirements for earmarks to ensure that the public knows which member of Congress is sponsoring an earmark. However, even with all of these reforms, I have come to believe that the system is broken. We can no longer accept a process that doles out earmarks based on a member of Congress' seniority, rather than the merit of the project. We can no longer accept an earmarks process that has become so complicated to navigate that a municipality or non-profit group has to hire high-priced D.C. lobbyists to do it. And we can no longer accept an earmarks process in which many of the projects being funded fail to address the real needs of our country. The entire earmarks process needs to be re-examined and reformed."

obama spewed forth all that flowery rhetoric--designed to obfuscate the fact that while sounding like he wanted NO earmarks, rather than remove just the SILLY ONES--while saving all the others for his KoolAid drinkin' supporters and their constituents.]

We've [ http://capwiz.com/taxpayer ] found a number of interesting facts:

• Earmarking is still a bipartisan affliction.
• Earmarks go disproportionately to those powerful members in the room when the bills are written.
• While some members publicly state their aversion to earmarking, they often take credit back in their districts for bringing home the goods.

"D.C. job alleged as attempt to deter Romanoff"

–Denver Post September 27, 2009

A bombshell has just exploded in the 2010 elections.

For the second time in five months, the Obama White House is being accused—by Democrats—of offering high ranking government jobs in return for political favors. What no one is reporting is that this is a violation of federal law that can lead to prison time, a fine or both.

The jobs in question?

Secretary of the Navy A position within the U.S. Agency for International Development.

The favor requested in return?

Withdrawal from Senate challenges to two sitting United States Senators, both Democrats supported by obama. The Senators are Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania and Michael Bennet in Colorado.

[How much more slime do we have to uncover on the "Fascist-in-Chief" before it's enough to charge him with the crimes he's committed or allowed his minions to commit?? If you or I tried the bullshit obama has ALREADY GOTTEN AWAY WITH, we'd be in jail, NOW !!!]

My Response To A Letter Begging For Donations

I'm sure most of you have received the same letter from your political party's national offices. You know the one... They're begging for money under the guise of a poll concerning the "Clown Prince," the Congress, the minority party leadership, or what ever crap their whining about at the moment. I wrote the letter that appears to the right and even used their postage-paid envelope..... They gotta pay to hear me bitch about their non-representation!!!

In case you wanna bitch about the RepublicRAT National Committee, the address on my pre-printed envelope is:

RepublicRAT National Committee 310 First Street SE PO Box 96994 Washington, D.C., 20077-7556

"Clown Prince" Caught In 'ACORN Lies' While Barack Obama's connection with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has not gone entirely unreported, it has not been fully explained. Most media background pieces simply note Obama's involvement in a 1995 lawsuit on behalf of ACORN. Obama's own website, as well as most major media, fail to reveal the full depth and extent of his relationship with the organization.

Attempts to hide evidence of Fluffy's involvement with ACORN have included wiping the web clean of potentially damaging articles that had appeared, and were previously publicly accessible. Unfortunately, those behind the attempted cover-up failed to realize that in today's day and age, nothing disappears forever. There also exists another layer of the web, the hidden web, which is full of information included in proprietary scholarly databases where these very same "missing" articles can be easily uncovered.

obama's campaign website states:

• Fact: barack was never an ACORN trainer and never worked for ACORN in any other capacity.
• Is that really a FACT, or just another lie?
• Let's take a look at a quote from a 2004 article - Case Study: Chicago- The Barack Obama Campaign - written by Toni Foulkes, a Chicago ACORN Leader, which was published in the journal Social Policy.
• Did we mention that Social Policy recently pulled this particular article from their website, while leaving links to all other articles up?

"obama took the case, known as ACORN vs. Edgar (the name of the Republican governor at the time) and we won. obama then went on to run a voter registration project with Project VOTE in 1992 that made it possible for Carol Moseley Braun to win the Senate that year. Project VOTE delivered 50,000 newly registered voters in that campaign (ACORN delivered about 5,000 of them).

Since then, we have invited obama to our leadership training sessions to run the session on power every year, and, as a result, many of our newly developing leaders got to know him before he ever ran for office. Thus it was natural for many of us to be active volunteers in his first campaign for State Senate and then his failed bid for U.S. Congress in 1996. By the time he ran for U.S. Senate, we were old friends."

Not only does Foulkes boast of obama's ACORN leadership training, but also makes it clear that obama's post-law school organizing of "Project VOTE" in 1992 was undertaken in direct partnership with ACORN. The tie between Project VOTE and ACORN is also something that obama and others have attempted to disprove in recent weeks as ACORN has come under fire for allegations of voter registration fraud.

As recently as March 2008, the Los Angeles Times also made reference to barack obama's involvement with ACORN:

"At the time, Talbot worked at the social action group ACORN and initially considered obama a competitor. But she became so impressed with his work that she invited him to help train her staff." (LA Times, March 2, 2008)

All this information was easily pulled up with minimal time investment. It took less than thirty minutes to find, despite attempts by some to bury the truth. If I could find this with little effort, imagine what could be dug up with a serious, in-depth investigation. Scary, isn't it?

Nevertheless, barack obama's campaign website continues to lie and deny the truth about his involvement and association with ACORN. No matter how many times you say it, it does not make it true. The facts do not lie, Senator obama. It's time to come clean and tell the truth, and it's time for the American people to demand it.

"Clown Prine" To Control A 'Managed America?'

Hi, this is Ian Wyatt. I'm the Chief Investment Strategist for Top Stock Insights. My commentary and insights have appeared in Barron's, Kiplinger's Personal Finance, AOL Finance Blogging Stocks, The Burlington Free Press, Forbes.com, and more. I've been personally and professionally investing and providing investment advisory services for nearly 20 years. I made my name during the infamous Internet and Tech Stock bubble and crash in 2000 and 2001. The financial crisis that crushed our economy and our investments was unprecedented; the government's response has been unprecedented as well.

For the next 3-5 years, the "invisible hand" of government will be more like a fist clenched around the stock market's neck. And investors must understand how to adapt their investments in this new economic reality. I'm calling this new economic reality Managed America.

Here's what we can expect over the next 5 years:

• Unemployment will remain above 7%
• GDP Growth will Top Out at 3%
• Government Regulations will Stifle Innovation
• Higher Taxes will Cap Consumer Spending
• Runaway Inflation will Ramp Energy and Commodity Prices
• A Permanently Weak U.S. Dollar will Crush Manufacturing
• Weak Banks will Limit Lending
• Stock Prices will be Volatile

It sounds bleak, I know. But investors must face the reality of Managed America if they want to recover their losses and get their investments back on the winning side...Because the fact is, even though the future of the U.S. economy is far from bright, investors can still make the profitable investments that will ensure their prosperity.In fact, my investment research for Managed America led my Top Stock Insights readers to information in 2009... The government's stimulus plan sparked inflation fears.

The weak U.S. dollar meant oil prices had to rise. The dollar also affects commodity prices. The Treasury's toxic asset plan brought Top Stock Insights readers a total of 33% profit.

Investing in 'Managed America:'

• Bernanke's monetary policy only does more damage to an already bombed-out U.S. dollar. And his multi-billion dollar bank bailouts – bailouts we, the taxpayer, will be saddled with for years – are giving criminal bank executives a free pass.
• Average Americans are getting the shaft coming and going.We've lost our shirt on our houses and our investments.
• We have to foot the bill in the form of higher taxes and rising unemployment the bill to keep our entire financial system from going down the tubes.
• Managed America is the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on the American Public.

[Justin Case:] Given the aforementioned--profitable investing for the rest of the "Clown Prince" Reign-Of-Error, will be "iffy" at best!! So "iffy" in fact that I have NO INTENTION to make any suggestions; only to offer a possible solutions with regard to MY PORTFOLIO!!

This'n'That; February 22nd[RetirementFundsAgain!]

Slimiest President IN HISTORY Wants YOUR Retirement Money!! Neal Boortz Bio: For those of you who don't know, Neal Boortz has been a Talk Show Host in Atlanta, Georgia since 1969. He is now in his 40th year of talk radio. Since 1993 Neal has been holding forth on News Talk 750 WSB, a radio station with a 50,000 watt afterburner. Since early 1999 his show has been syndicated on radio stations from Maine to California and from Alaska to Florida. The program airs live from 8:30 to 1:00 pm each weekday. The Neal Boortz Show has about five million listeners nationwide and is carried on around 230 radio stations. [For several years, Neal Boortz has been at the fore of the campaign for federal fair tax legislation. Mr Boortz states in his article {that I edited} below, there are more than $3 Trillion in retirement funds in the United States. I have heard numbers ranging from $23.5 Trillion to $47 Trillion!!! Using any of the amounts, that's a helluva lotta money for the "Clown Prince" to piss away on his fascist buddies and those he supports with the federal largess!! Fluffy and his appointed morons are looking into confiscating all retirement funds, depositing them into the general fund to piss away.. and offering you a cash stream for life. As well as the government manages their various Ponzi schemes {Social Security ring a bell??}, how could we possibly think he won't over-spend this upcoming scheme??] I've been telling you about this for a while now. This, to me, is one of the most dangerous schemes currently slithering through the crevices and dark spots of the Imperial Federal Government in Washington. What am I talking about? What I believe to be plans by the Obama administration to, in effect, seize your retirement funds and use them to finance their deficit spending. Remember ... there are more than $3 trillion dollars sitting out there in individual retirement, IRA and 401K plans. Politicians just cant stand the idea of this much money sitting out there in private investments ... out of the grasp of politicians. So .... Something needs to be done. And sure enough, something is going to be done. The Treasury Department and the Department of Labor were going to start taking comments on ways to promote the idea converting 401(k) savings and IRAs into annuities or other steady payment streams. Well you can finally take a look at this document for yourself: Request for Information Regarding Lifetime Income Options for Participants and Beneficiaries in Retirement Plans Here, I'll post a little to get you started:

The Department of Labor and the Department of the Treasury (the "Agencies") are currently reviewing the rules under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and the plan qualification rules under the Internal Revenue Code (Code) to determine whether, and, if so, how, the Agencies could or should enhance, by regulation or otherwise, the retirement security of participants in employer-sponsored retirement plans and in individual retirement arrangements (IRAs) by facilitating access to, and use of, lifetime income or other arrangements designed to provide a lifetime stream of income after retirement. The purpose of this request for information is to solicit views, suggestions and comments from plan participants, employers and other plan sponsors, plan service providers, and members of the financial community, as well as the general public, on this important issue.

That's a lot of government-speak. Can you read between the lines? What is the real plan here? Behind this nonsense about "lifetime stream of income after retirement" language is a lovely little plan to force you to finance the Democrat's deficit spending. The plan is to play into the current economic fears. "Never let a good crisis go to waste." Remember the words of Rahm? The Democrats want you to question whether or not Wall Street is the right place to invest your money. Wouldn't you be safer if the government kept it for you? The government wants you to believe that it can do a better job of investing and managing your retirement than you can. And for a lot of people who believe that government is the answer, they may fine with this. It's not fine with me, and, I suspect, it's not all that fine with you. Don't believe me? Here is how these agencies present their reasoning:

Accordingly, with the continuing trend away from traditional defined benefit plans to 401(k) defined contribution plans and hybrid plans ... employees are not only increasingly responsible for the adequacy of their savings at the time of retirement, but also for ensuring that their savings last throughout their retirement years ... In recognition of the foregoing, the Agencies are considering whether it would be appropriate for them to take future steps to facilitate access to, and use of, lifetime income or other arrangements designed to provide a stream of income after retirement.

Here is one of the questions asked in this document from the Treasury Department and the Department of Labor:

13. Should some form of lifetime income distribution option be required for defined contribution plans (in addition to money purchase pension plans)? If so, should that option be the default distribution option, and should it apply to the entire account balance? To what extent would such a requirement encourage or discourage plan sponsorship?

Okay, what is this question really asking? First, it wants to know if the government should FORCE you to contribute money to an income distribution option. Then the second part of the question wants to know if this should be the standard retirement option, unless you choose to also put your money elsewhere. OK .. I'm a little disjointed here. Let me try to wrap up all of this up in one neat package. Obama's budget is setting records in deficit spending. Obama is proposing borrowing every close to the amount of money that the Republicans borrowed in a single year .. but Obama is proposing borrowing that sum EVERY SINGLE MONTH throughout his term of office and beyond. Earlier this week I told you of a story from the investment press which stated that investors now look at blue chip stocks like Coca Cola as better and safer investments than U.S. Government treasury certificates. China has signaled that it is not in the mood to buy many more U.S. government securities. This is how we finance our debt! If investors and other nations won't voluntary finance our debt, what does our government do? Well, our government does what governments always do. Fall back on its unique ability to use force to accomplish its goals. There's a problem here. We aren't going to force China to buy more Treasuries ... so where is the force to be applied? YOU, that's where.

The government is talking about some form of "lifetime income distribution" and "lifetime stream of income." (Isn't this what Social Security was supposed to do?) But just HOW does the government provide this "lifetime" income? Simple ... by FORCING you to take all or a portion of your retirement funds and invest them where China won't go; invest them where private international investors no longer want to go; invest them in Treasury Certificates. Oh yeah ... they'll probably come up with some fancy new name for some fancy new type of T-bill ... but the goal and the effect will be the same. You'll see your money seized by government and used to finance the insane spending plans of politicians .. Democrat and Republican.

Stay alert folks. The government has wonderful ways to couch this in language that seams harmless and innocuous. It's a money-grab. Nothing less. http://boortz.com/nealz_nuze/2010/02/the-government-wants-your-reti.html

"Clown Prince" Weekly Blather; February 20th

A Patriotic Response to the "Clown Prince" 02/20/2010 Weekly Address February 20, 2010 The other week, men and women across California opened up their mailboxes to find a letter from Anthem Blue Cross. The news inside was jaw-dropping. Anthem was alerting almost a million of its customers that it would be raising premiums by an average of 25 percent, with about a quarter of folks likely to see their rates go up by anywhere from 35 to 39 percent. Now, after their announcement stirred public outcry, Anthem agreed to delay their rate hike until May 1st while the situation is reviewed by the state of California. But it’s not just Californians who are being hit by rate hikes. In Kansas, one insurance company raised premiums by 10 to 20 percent only after asking to raise them by 20 to 30 percent. Last year, Michigan Blue Cross Blue Shield raised rates by 22 percent after asking to raise them by up to 56 percent. And in Maine, Anthem is asking to raise rates for some folks by about 23 percent. The bottom line is that the status quo is good for the insurance industry and bad for America. Over the past year, as families and small business owners have struggled to pay soaring health care costs, and as millions of Americans lost their coverage, the five largest insurers made record profits of over $12 billion. [What I'm not telling you: Imagine if.... the several states with the largest illegal immigrant population were suddenly not responsible for their health care, housing, necessary household expenses. Those various states' coffers would explode with surplus monies!! We can go one of a couple of ways here: I can continue my attempted take-over of 18% of the national economy through obamaCare, or we can continue on the current path which will be very taxing to those American workers at every income level. There are sure cures, which I'll NEVER allow to happen!! One is to solve the illegals problem; another is to revise the methods of insurance sales; still another is to break generations-long cycles of government dependency. Two out of three of these solutions will hit me {as all fascists} right "in the voting block!!"

• ~~The Illegal Immigration Problem~~ If it weren't for my disastrous job performance {low-to-mid 40%} I'd consider some resolutions {but only half-heartedly!!}: Completion of the Mexican border fencing projects. These are already funded and a small portion has been completed. To be completely fair, assess the cost and practicality of Canadian border fencing as well. Insure that governmental offices AT EVERY LEVEL verify the identity and citizenship status of EVERYONE doing business with these offices. Develop and institute an effective repatriation program which treats everyone fairly-to include legitimate American Taxpayers who fund all these bazaar "piss-away" programs!! Refine current immigration laws so ALL are treated fairly, not just those who will work in states with strong congressional representation, i.e., the apple orchards of upstate New York, represented by 'Chuckie-Cheese' Schumer and that 'invisible senator,' Gillibrand. ~~Health Insurance Dilemma~~ In keeping with my fascist beliefs and policies, I refuse to admit that there's an 'insurance' problem; but it's a 'quality' issue. I will never even consider why persons of means and other national potentates come to the United States to partake of our first-rate practitioners, surgeons and facilities. We've all seen that GEICO tv ad where it's said that one can save $XXX by changing auto insurance providers. The consumer is able to compare rates for one simple reason: The various auto insurance companies are allowed to market their product{s} across state lines {albiet with state insurance department approvals}. One has to wonder to what 'lows' health care premiums would drop when health insurance companies have the same rights and procedures as auto insurance companies?!?! ~~Governmental Dependency~~ The modern era of dependency originates with the Franklin Roosevelt Administration, coinciding with the 1929 stock market crash. Mr Roosevelt created several demeaning "alphabet" programs to put the unemployed Americans to work, performing the most menial of tasks {so simple, even a caveman could do them}!! During the post-Korean War era on into the Viet Nam era, programs developed and instituted by the fascists of the time, created a dependency that has worse effects than drug adiction. Multi-generational families can be cited as having NEVER WORKED FOR WAGES!! What a sad commentary on America's commitment to it's citizens!! Welfare, SSI, AFDC, among others-have removed all incentive to produce; to produce earnings at a level to insure a family's welfare. I remember "Slick-Willie's" welfare reform program and I thought it was masterful in it's subtle deception!! Not only did he NOT REDUCE DEPENDENCY, he reassigned some recipients over to SSI..... thus reducing the welfare rolls, but not the dependency rolls. MASTERFUL!!!! This slight-of-hand was also instrumental in helping to bankrupt the Social Security Ponzi Scheme. Statistically, those who suck away at the government "teat" traditionally vote fascist, thus it's in the obamacRATics' best interests to keep them dependent; so long as the taxpayer doesn't revolt!! WHEW!! Did anyone foresee the growth and power of that "Tea Party" thingie....?? That has me concerned!!]

And as bad as things are today, they’ll only get worse if we fail to act. We’ll see more and more Americans go without the coverage they need. We’ll see exploding premiums and out-of-pocket costs burn through more and more family budgets. We’ll see more and more small businesses scale back benefits, drop coverage, or close down because they can’t keep up with rising rates. And in time, we’ll see these skyrocketing health care costs become the single largest driver of our federal deficits. That’s what the future is on track to look like. But it’s not what the future has to look like. The question, then, is whether we will do what it takes, all of us – Democrats and Republicans – to build a better future for ourselves, our children, and our country. That’s why, next week, I am inviting members of both parties to take part in a bipartisan health care meeting, and I hope they come in a spirit of good faith. I don’t want to see this meeting turn into political theater, with each side simply reciting talking points and trying to score political points. Instead, I ask members of both parties to seek common ground in an effort to solve a problem that’s been with us for generations. [What I'm not telling you: Here is a quote from the late President Ronald Reagan: "Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them." While Mr Reagan ment this to be a negative observation of federal policies and operations-I fully subscribe to that "...it subsidizes them.." part!! I am all about "throwing more money" at any and all problems, particularly when it garners me more votes. That being said, I will attempt to get the republicRATs to endorse-at least partially-my program to take over that 18% of the American economy I mentioned previously. If the obamacRATics are able to pull this off, I'll have someone to assign blame if obamaCare isn't passed into law; or ultimately bankrupts the country as I fully expect. With national bankruptcy, I again expect the dependency class to stand behind me in remaining in office to "correct the problems caused by the republicRATs. This is WIN-WIN for me!! My minions should fully support my-as yet, unwritten-obamaCare proposal; the republicRATs will certainly oppose most individual items. Again as I fully expect, this will end being nothing more than another photo-op; a 'plus' for me as I get both in the media and have another faction to blame the inactivity on; another WIN-WIN!!] It’s in that spirit that I have sought out and supported Republican ideas on reform from the very beginning. Some Republicans want to allow Americans to purchase insurance from a company in another state to give people more choices and bring down costs. Some Republicans have also suggested giving small businesses the power to pool together and offer health care at lower prices, just as big companies and labor unions do. I think both of these are good ideas – so long as we pursue them in a way that protects benefits, protects patients, and protects the American people. I hope Democrats and Republicans can come together next week around these and other ideas. To members of Congress, I would simply say this. We know the American people want us to reform our health insurance system. We know where the broad areas of agreement are. And we know where the sources of disagreement lie. After debating this issue exhaustively for a year, let’s move forward together. Next week is our chance to finally reform our health insurance system so it works for families and small businesses. It’s our chance to finally give Americans the peace of mind of knowing that they’ll be able to have affordable coverage when they need it most. What’s being tested here is not just our ability to solve this one problem, but our ability to solve any problem. Right now, Americans are understandably despairing about whether partisanship and the undue influence of special interests in Washington will make it impossible for us to deal with the big challenges that face our country. They want to see us focus not on scoring points, but on solving problems; not on the next election but on the next generation. That is what we can do, and that is what we must do when we come together for this bipartisan health care meeting next week. [What I'm not telling you: The labor unions won't be happy with the possible 'small business' pools formed to achieve less expensive health care coverage. I intend to keep their "Cadillac Plan" subsidy on the table, but they want no one to have the benefits and political connections they have!! Given the great disparity in the health reform views, I expect that there will have to be brow-beating and denegration in the media for this to come together!! I will eventually acceed to a 'half-baked' plan to which we can add amendments later. These future amendments willl shape the economic confiscation much the way the fascists in government desires. Those future amendments can be hidden in other spending legislation-much like the current pork-barrel appropriations are today.] Thank you, and have a great weekend.

This'n'That; February 17th[TaxRefund]

A "New-York-State Of Mind??"

"Double-Dealin'-Dave" Paterson intends to delay the payment of NYS income tax refunds!! The state currently limits the amount of tax refunds it pays in the first three months of the year to $1.75 billion. Paterson is considering lowering that threshold to $1.25 billion to-again-slap the taxpayer in the face. The state has until June to pay the refunds before they start accruing interest.

Now, if you or I were to call "Double-Dealin' Dave[or D-3, or Dave-the-Turd]" and say:

• [Justin] "Turd, I don't think I'll be able to pay the taxes due to the state for a while."
• [Turd] " Oh but Justin, I need that money NOW to close our current spending gap. Give us an estimate as to when you might be able to pay us."
• [Justin] "Let's see.... the filing date is April 15th..... Oh, probably by August first...."
• [Turd] "That's unacceptable!! My tax department will have to assess a penalty and charge you interest...."
• [Justin] "This 'spending gap' you mentioned.....?? If you stopped adding to the expenditures-or atleast slowed the rate some..... would you still have to charge me interest and penalties??
• [Turd] " You're getting off-topic here, but to answer your question: If we obamacRATics don't continue to buy votes through having more and more New Yorkers addicted to the "government teat," do you think ANYONE would vote for us?? All that dependency funding costs money!! Where do you think it's gonna come from?? We have a large percentage of New Yorkers who pay no tax at all--So it's up to you commoners to make up the difference!! So to answer your question: Yes, we'd still charge you a penalty and interest."
• [Justin] "Going by your rules, my penalties and interest won't begin until June first, right?? That's when your interest responsibilities start, when you owe me a refund."
• [Turd] "Justin, I have your records with the taxation department up on the screen; You were born in the mid-1940s, which is in the twentieth century; we're now in the twenty-first century. Justin, did you just 'fall off a turnip truck??' By now, you should know that NOTHING IS EVER EQUAL between a government and an individual!!
• [Justin] "OK, if I'm unable to pay the balance until August first, and I own you about $500, how much will the interest and penalty be?"
• [Turd] "Let's see..... the penalty will be about $8.75 [1.75%]; the interest will be about $37.50 [7.5%], for a total of $46.25. Your payment to the tax department would have to be $546.25 or we just keep the interest accruing!!"
• [Justin] "OK, Turd... Just for shits and giggles, if I had a refund of $500 coming, and you didn't issue the check until August first, how much would the interest be?"
• [Turd-with a HUGE smile on his face] " We would owe you interest of $15, for a fat check of $515!!"
• [Justin] "Turd, THAT AIN'T FAIR!!"
• [Turd] " Of course not; THAT'S GOVERNMENT!!"

Where do we find these slugs to elect to state government??

This'n'That; February 15th[Medical Tort Reform]

"Clown Prince" Gets His 'Marching Orders' "Clown Prince" obama is getting his marching orders concerning his take-over of 18% of the economy via obamaCare. The self-centered morons of the American Association for Justice--as trial lawyiers' mouthpiece--previously defeated President Bush's attempts at medical tort reform; now it's Fluffy's turn to take their orders!! The autoworkers' unions as well as the SEIU are sure to make their demands known as well. If the republicRATs "bite" on this next "piece of fluff" from the administration, they SHOULD be voted out!! High medical malpractice insurance premiums and even higher tort pay-outs have strangled the concept of "quality and affordable healthcare/health insurance premiums. Fluffy has steadfastly stood by the 'ambulance-chasing' lawyers in their opposition to tort reform of any stripe!! The "Clown Prince" has hinted that he'll consider tort reform as a carrot to the republicRATs' agreeing to a bipartisan obamaCare bill; DON'T FALL FOR IT!! That "carrot" will soon turn into a "stick" with which obama intends to beat them back--giving him another reason to continue to paint the opposition as the "party of no!!" Fluffy's handlers have announced that they'll post the details of their obamaCare reform proposal on-line, prior to the February 25th summit... I'll believe that when I see it!! Some states have addressed medical tort reform on their own; Let's check how reform worked in Texas. The 1995 session of Texans for Lawsuit Reform; TLR (with George W. Bush as Governor):

• Limited punitive damages;
• Reformed joint and several liability;
• Restricted venue shopping;
• Restored the Deceptive Trade Practices Act to its original purpose of protecting consumers in ordinary consumer ransactions;
• Enacted a half dozen other reforms to curtail specific lawsuit abuses.

The 2003 session (with James Richard "Rick" Perry as Governor):

• Enacted comprehensive reforms governing medical liability litigation, including a $750,000 limit on non-economic damages;
• Initiated product liability reforms;
• Made the burden of proving punitive damages similar to criminal law, requiring a unanimous jury verdict;
• Comprehensively reformed the statutes governing joint and several liability and class action lawsuits;
• Imposed limits on appeal bonds, enabling defendants to appeal their lawsuits and not be forced into settlements (this is what pushed Texaco into bankruptcy in its famous lawsuit against Pennzoil);
• Further limited the filing of lawsuits that should have been brought in other states or countries.

The changes to medical liability in 2003 were extraordinary, and had a very substantial impact, including:

• 1. In August 2004, the Texas Hospital Association reported a 70% reduction in the number of lawsuits filed against the state’s hospitals.
• 2. Medical liability insurance rates declined. Many doctors saw average rate reductions of over 21%, with some doctors seeing almost 50% decreases. (Recent information provided to The Perryman Group during the course of this study suggests that premiums are declining even further in 2008.)
• 3. Beginning in 2003, physicians started returning to Texas. The Texas Medical Board reports licensing 10,878 new physicians since 2003, up from 8,391 in the prior four years. Perryman has determined that at least 1,887 of those physicians are specifically the result of lawsuit reform.
• 4. In May 2006, the American Medical Association removed Texas from its list of states experiencing a liability crisis, marking the first time it has removed any state from the list. A recent survey by the Texas Medical Association also found a dramatic increase in physicians’ willingness to resume certain procedures they had stopped performing, including obstetrics, neurosurgical, radiation and oncological procedures.

In 2008, TLR commissioned a study by The Perryman Group to determine the impact of these reforms. Here are the economic impact findings of that study:

• $112.5 billion increase in annual spending;
• $51.2 billion increase in annual output–goods and services produced in Texas;
• $2.6 billion increase in annual state tax revenue;
• $468.9 million in annual benefits from safer products;
• $15.2 billion in annual net benefits of enhanced innovation
• 499,000 permanent jobs;
• 430,000 additional Texans have health insurance today as a result of the medical liability reforms.
• http://tlrfoundation.com/beta/files/Texas_Tort_Reform_Report_2008.pdf

Given the aforementioned statistics, how can anyone [well, excepting the current fascist government!!] deny that medical tort reform WORKS?!?! obamaCare notwithstanding, each and every state legislature should strongly consider enacting reforms similar to those in Texas. See the increases in personal earnings; increases in state tax revenue?? This would be a boon to state treasuries such as New York and California; two states that are running huge deficits due to their "piss-away" rates of spending!!

Fluffy obama notwithstanding, the congress has been controlled by the obamacRATs since 2006!! If true and meaningful medical tort reform were important to the moronic leadership[?] of that party, it would already be law!! With majorities in both houses, there'd be no way the few objectors could stall the legislation!!

I've found a report denoting reforms--by state--concerning tort reform in general. To see if your state is involved in tort reform, go here: http://uspolitics.about.com/library/bl_tort_reform_state_table.htm

• 38 States---Modified Joint-and-Several Liability: Have based the amount for which a defendant can be held liable on the proportion of fault attributed, but the formulas differ substantially from state to state. In addition, most of the reforms apply to specific types of torts or have other restrictions.
• 25 States---Modified the Collateral-Source Rule: Typical reforms either permit evidence of collateral source payments to be admitted at trial, allow awards to plaintiffs to be offset by other payments, or both.
• 23 States---Limit Non-economic Damages: The caps range from $250,000 to $750,000. More than half of the reforms apply to torts involving medical malpractice.
• 34 States---Limit Punitive Damages: Various types of limits include outright bans; fixed dollar caps ranging from $250,000 to $10Million; caps equal to a multiple of compensatory awards.

"Clown Prince" Weekly Blather; February 13th

A Patriotic Response To The "Clown Prince" 02/13/2010 Weekly Address February 13, 2010 All across America, people work hard to meet their responsibilities. You do your jobs, take care of your families, pay your bills. Sometimes, particularly in tough times like these, you have to make hard choices about where to spend and where to save. That’s what being responsible means. That’s a bedrock value of our country. And that ought to be a value that our government lives up to as well. Yet, over the past decade, this hasn’t always not been the case. Ten years ago, we had a big budget surplus with projected surpluses far into the future. Ten years later, those surpluses are gone. In fact, when I first walked through the door, the government’s budget deficit stood at $1.3 trillion, with the budget gap over the next decade projected to be $8 trillion. [What I'm not telling you: Notice how I deliberately left out "government" while talking about responsibility?? Governments at any level--in any country--are the most irresponsible individuals on the planet; I know that!! I have practiced fiscal irresponsibility at every level--be it ACORN, as a street agitator; the US senate, during my 142 days of federal legislative INexperience or as the "Clown Prince." The surplus I refer to was primarily due to the fall of communism in the former Soviet Union which drastically reduced our need for defense spending. "Slick-Willie" claimed the surplus as his own doing--as democRATs and later, obamacRATs--are wont to do. The most recent round of obamacRAT control of Congress has been devistating to the "federal wallet!!!" That was the start to huge annual growth in the federal deficit. I'm "always at the ready" to condemn President Bush for the huge deficits; I never acknowlege that the House of Representatives ORIGINATES ALL SPENDING LEGISLATION!! In order to honestly assign blame, we must have a look at the deficit figures for the past several FISCAL years:

• Fiscal Year..............Deficit Amount
• 2005......................$318Billion
• 2006......................$247Billion
• 2007......................$147Billion
• 2008......................$410Billion
• 2009......................$1.84TRILLION
• 2010{Projected}....$1.17TRILLION

Can you see how the 110th Congress {both houses under obamacRAT control} started an already large "snowball" rolling... gaining speed and "volumne" at an exponential growth rate!!!] Partly, the recession is to blame. With millions of people out of work, and millions of families facing hardship, folks are paying less in taxes while seeking more services, like unemployment benefits. Rising health care costs are also to blame. Each year, more and more tax dollars are devoted to Medicare and Medicaid. But what also made these large deficits possible was the end of a common sense rule called “pay as you go.” It’s pretty simple. It says to Congress, you have to pay as you go. You can’t spend a dollar unless you cut a dollar elsewhere. This is how a responsible family or business manages a budget. And this is how a responsible government manages a budget, as well. It was this rule that helped lead to balanced budgets in the 1990s, by making clear that we could not increase entitlement spending or cut taxes simply by borrowing more money. And it was the abandonment of this rule that allowed the previous administration and previous congresses to pass massive tax cuts for the wealthy and create an expensive new drug program without paying for any of it. Now in a perfect world, Congress would not have needed a law to act responsibly, to remember that every dollar spent would come from taxpayers today – or our children tomorrow. [What I'm not telling you: There are alot of factors involved here: continually rising taxes on American businesses and American workers; continually rising expenditures with FALLING revenues to the Treasury Department; Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security are "untouchable" with respect to cuts in costs and benefits while being rife with fraud. The word 'rule' is crucial when talking about spending, deficits and deficit reduction! Pay-as-you-go was enacted into law in 1990 and allowed to expire at the end of 2002. The deficit spending by the Congress returned with a vengence!! The PAYGO system was reestablished as a standing rule of the House of Representatives (Clause 10 of Rule XXI) on January 4, 2007 by the 110th Congress. This 'rule' was--and is--routinely waived or outrightly ignored.

{Point to ponder: Where did the Congress reduce expenditures to cover the $787Billion presidential slush-fund? to cover the $1Billion Cash-for-Clunkers program??}

As you know, I deplore any tax cuts that will benefit businesses or the serf class; I call them "tax cuts for the rich"..... continuing to build on my plan of class warfare. Here's where I again attempt to deride President Bush, when 'in real life' his routinely pilloried tax cuts truly benefitted the serfs... reducing his economic control over that class of Americans!! Even I ignored PAYGO when I whined to have President Bush force TARP through the congress; when I whined enough to get my slush-fund, yadda, yadda, yadda!! The true message here is "when democRATs and obamacRATs are involved, the 'piss-away' rate is astronomical!! But this isn’t a perfect world. This is Washington. And while in theory there is bipartisan agreement on moving on balanced budgets, in practice, this responsibility for the future is often overwhelmed by the politics of the moment. It falls prey to the pressure of special interests, to the pull of local concerns, and to a reality familiar to every single American – the fact that it is a lot easier to spend a dollar than save one. That is why this rule is necessary. And that is why I am pleased that Congress fulfilled my request to restore it. Last night, I signed the “pay as you go” rule into law. Now, Congress will have to pay for what it spends, just like everybody else. But that’s not all we must do. Even as we make critical investments to create jobs today and lay a foundation for growth tomorrow – by cutting taxes for small businesses, investing in education, promoting clean energy, and modernizing our roads and railways – we have to continue to go through the budget line by line, looking for ways to save. We have to cut where we can, to afford what we need. This year, I’ve proposed another $20 billion in budget cuts. And I’ve also called for a freeze in government spending for three years. It won’t affect benefits through Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security. And it will not affect national security – including benefits for veterans. But it will affect the rest of the budget. [What I'm not telling you: You have no idea how it pained me to sign that PAYGO thingie!!! Now I'll force the congress to "exempt" any new vote-buying schemes I come up with; new slush-funds I'll need to reward the unions, street thugs, etc!! ".....will affect the rest of the budget....." What-ta-hell is left to affect, after we exempt all the entitlement programs, whose specific design is to buy votes!! Have you noticed, when I talk about tax cuts for workers and businesses, I get this funny look on my face; all that rhetoric is tongue-in-cheek; I have no intention of following through on those promises. Don't you find it somewhat suspect that... After signing PAYGO into law.... I submit a 2010 $3.552TRILLION budget, with revenues OF ONLY $2.381TRILLION; leaving a deficit of $1.171, how stupid is that?!?!?! This budget pushes the national debt to a whoopin' $14.078TRILLION!!! I've succeeded in forcing all--but selected--Americans into fascism, whether they want it or not!! This nation will PROBABLY NEVER pay off the national debt; if they're able to, it'll be three generations--or more--out!! $20Billion in budget cuts proposed.....?!?! In the whole sceme of things, what-ta-hell good does that "drop in the bucket" do?? It's a mere .0074 OF ONE PERCENT {seven THOUSANDTHS OF ONE PERCENT!!} which amounts to the same force as "a fart in a whirlwind!!"] Finally, I’ve proposed a bipartisan Fiscal Commission to provide recommendations for long-term deficit reduction. Because in the end, solving our fiscal challenge – so many years in the making – will take both parties coming together, putting politics aside, and making some hard choices about what we need to spend, and what we don’t. It will not happen any other way. Unfortunately this proposal – which received the support of a bipartisan majority in the Senate – was recently blocked. So, I will be creating this commission by executive order. After a decade of profligacy, the American people are tired of politicians who talk the talk but don’t walk the walk when it comes to fiscal responsibility. It’s easy to get up in front of the cameras and rant against exploding deficits. What’s hard is actually getting deficits under control. But that’s what we must do. Like families across the country, we have to take responsibility for every dollar we spend. And with the return of “pay as you go,” as well as other steps we’ve begun to take, that is exactly what we are doing. [What I'm not telling you: "Bipartisan or bipartisanship" to me and the vast majority of other obamacRATs means anyone of the opposition party.... ROLLS OVER AND PLAYS DEAD!! No other definition is acceptable!! That "Fiscal Commission"... that's just another cleaver way to add to the 250,000 NON-ESSENTIAL workforce in federal government. Rather than allow the entire congress to guide the operation and direction; when I can't get them to do as I demand, I just sign an 'executive order'... which requires approval FROM NO ONE!!! that "take responsibility for every dollar we spend...." That "load'da Shit" will never happen during my regime!!!]

This'n'That; February 13th[obama;GovChristie]

The "Clown Prince" Grasping For Straws!! Fluffy obama is trying a "Slick-Willie" ploy. "Slick" primarily governed by the polls; his opinion was usually aligned with what ever the polls said. It appears that obama is going to "change HIS spots," but not in the direction of the public opinion polls. He's spreading bullshit that he hopes will "smell" like he has the public's interest at heart--I personally think he's a street thug fascist... just making noises:

• He feels our pain.
• He will fight for us until his very last breath (even if he's fighting to pass policies the public detests).
• He is going to get every dime of our money back from those evil banks on Wall Street (even though most have already paid back what they owe).

obama's moronic minions think this shift toward populism might help him politically--I DOUBT IT! How can it?? Fluffy is NOT a 'man of the people' and never has been. He's nothing more than a well-educated street thug in a Brooks Brothers suit!

This 'man of the people' charade isn't his Campaign of Fluff image and it certainly IS NOT the way he's been governing during his one-year honeymoon. Fluffy ran as an intellectual, condescending snob who:

was going to bring both parties together to solve America's most serious problems.

The results of his one-year honeymoon:

• A year bailing out Wall Street;
• A year buying auto manufacturers;
• Demanded passage of a $787Bln porkulus bill [a thinly disguised presidential slush-fund];
• Demanded the Congressional Moron Caucus pass obamaCare [a thinly disguised take-over of 18% of the American economy] fraught with backroom deals like the whoring out of Landrieu and the Nebraska sellout, blatantly catering to labor unions;
• No positive results concerning unemployment or job creation;

As evidenced by measley 25% who strongly approve of obama's job performance--very dam' few American voters have any confidence in his agenda. He's spent the first year of his reign becoming detached from the American voter--now, beginning to use less-than-believable rhetoric to put him back "in touch" with the people. At this early stage, he's already trying to re-invent himself--that's only possible if he has even a modicum of credibility going in!!

AIN'T GONNA WORK, Fluffy!!!!

obama: Hire NJ Governor As "Budget Czar!!"

New Jersey Gov. Christie signed an executive order to close New Jersey's $2.2 billion budget gap, freezing money for schools districts, higher education and hospital services, among hundreds of other programs.

• This executive order: freezes $1.6 billion in unspent money, including $475 million in school aid, $62 million for higher education, and $12.6 million in hospital charity care.
• freezes nearly $16 million in unused grant money from the Division of Youth and Family Services and $158 million from the Clean Energy Fund.

Christie told a joint session of the Legislature, "higher spending is the road to ruin,'' and that the cuts, while difficult, were necessary to keep a balanced budget, as required under the state constitution. "Today, we come to terms with the fact that we cannot spend money on everything we want. Today, the days of Alice in Wonderland budgeting in Trenton end,'' Christie said. Are ya listening, Fluffy?!?!

This'n'That; February 11th[Jobs]

harry reid's Version Of Bipartisanship reid and his henchman Max Baucus are trying to lure in the republicRAT leadership with tax credits and other "tax relief provisions." Doing this really pissing off the fascists' primary backers; the unions, the other fascist senatorial morons and the rest of the leftie agitators. reid is planning on adding the tax provisions to the--as yet unwritten-- broad jobs legislation. Most American voters already know how much reid and Baucus can be trusted..... 00.000% of the time!!

As is the obamacRAT way.... no one is listening to basic logic on the topic of jobs and the economy in general. Tax credits for the select few--union businesses; selected union sectors of the economy, Campaign of Fluff supporters--will not be nearly as effective as a large, across-the-board tax cut for 'the masses.' Here's a quote from that Iowa moron, tom harkin:

He has called the focus on tax cuts “shortsighted” and questioned whether it is possible to link employers’ hiring decisions with tax incentives.“We think that tax incentives can solve any problem, and it doesn’t work like that,” Harkin said.

To continue the fascist plan and further entrench the dependency mentality, the legislation will include unemployment benefits extension, health insurance subsidies and extension of the Surface Transportation Act among other ineffectual pieces of crap.

Most senatorial morons want infrastructure projects to cure the unemployment problem, which ain't gonna happen!! These projects have been in the works since the $787Bln presidential slush-fund was inacted. How many have even been started, let alone completed?? VERY DAM' FEW!!

Some of those 'infrastructure projects' involve high-speed rail programs for various areas of the nation. Here in western New York State, that involves proposed high-speed rail between Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Albany. After the "fad wears off," who's gonna use it; who can afford to use it?? In Rochester at least, the politicians seem to think the sign of a successful reign is a legacy; some physical item that the public 'just can't do without.' Many don't know her, but it seems "Geeze-Louise" McIntosh Rodham Slaughter is looking at this high-speed rail spur as her legacy. Slaughter lives in Washington, D.C., but maintains a rarely-used house in Fairport, just south of Rochester. She came here from Kentucky shortly after statehood-to be a political carpetbagger. She promotes this high speed thing at every turn. She seems not to remember former Rochester Mayor Bill Johnson's "Fast Ferry" fiasco and legacy [Rochester lost millions of dollars on it].

Speaking of presidential slush-funds--that's exactly what that brain-dead moron, "Clown Prince" obama wants!! Fluffy mentioned the figure of $175Bln; to be called a "jobs bill" but administered just as the presidential moron administers his other slush-funds.

Moronic harry reid has the audacity to include renewal of provisions of The Patriot Act as creating jobs under this jobs legislation. This single act speaks volumes in why the congressional approval rating is at a dismal eighteen percent!!!
