Clarifying the Blather
The "clownish" blather out of barackINGHAM PALACE is in dire need of clarification. If--and that's a huge 'if'--"Clown Prince" obama were prone to bouts of truthful bluster AND if he had the best interests of the country and its' people at heart, he'd have blathered his topics differently, to wit:
"I want to be clear though that, even as we've dealt with the situation in Syria, we've continued to focus on my number one priority since the day I took office, making sure we recover from the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes, and rebuilding our economy so it works for everybody who's willing to work hard, so that everybody who is willing to take responsibility for their lives has a chance to get ahead."
~~Truth-be-told, the number one priority of this cabal has been golfing followed closely by the emperor's MONTHLY vacations costing the federal treasury billions. Remember: Michelle "Antoinette" has her own taxpayer-funded travel schedule, sometimes to the same destination, but unable to wait the 2 or 3 hours necessary to travel with the "Clown Prince!"~~
"It was five years ago, this week, that the financial crisis rocked Wall Street, and sent an economy already into recession, into a tail spin. And it's hard sometimes to remember everything that happened during those -- those months, but in a matter of a frightening few days and weeks, some of the largest investment banks in the world failed, stock markets plunged, banks stopped lending to families and small businesses, our auto industry -- the heartbeat of American manufacturing -- was flat-lining.
By the time I took office, the economy was shrinking by an annual rate of more than 8 percent. Our businesses were shedding 800,000 jobs each month. It was a perfect storm that would rob millions of Americans of jobs and homes and savings that they had worked a lifetime to build."
~~This 'tailspin' the "Clown Prince" refers to is in part, the culmination of years of policies instituted by "Slick Willie" Clinton and his HUD Secretary--the current (and sadly) New York Governor--Andrew "King" Cuomo. "Slick Willie's" prime policy culprit was the Sub-Prime Mortgage scandal. The mortgages granted to those who could ill-afford them and had no compunction to repay, were bundled into investments and sold, resold and resold again and again. This pyramid scheme collapsed when the smart people realized the value wasn't there and refused to continue their involvement! "Clown Prince" obama then added his amateurish incompetence to the mix, to the tune of an amount NO ONE is talking about: EIGHTEEN TRILLION DOLLARS--that's $18,000,000,000,000--when the continuing allotments of qualitative easing are added.~~
"It’s what those earliest days of the crisis caused us to act so quickly through the Recovery Act to arrest the downward spiral and put a floor under the fall. We put people to work, repairing roads and bridges, to keep teachers in our classrooms, our first responders on the streets. We helped responsible homeowners modify their mortgages so that more of them could keep their homes. We helped jump-start the flow of credit to help more small businesses keep their doors open. We saved the American auto industry."
~~The Recovery Act became The Donors, Bundlers and Supporters Payback Act and beyond the crony payoffs, did little to reduce the affects of the oncoming obama Depression. Few roads and fewer bridges ever got the attention they needed; the teachers were under little threat due to tenure; the limited funds for the police and firemen were administered by the states and were only available to fund said responders for a single year. Again, the "Clown Prince" continued the failed "Slick Willie"-"King" Cuomo sub-prime mortgage fiasco, further alleviating any personal responsibility on the part of the home buyers. Rather than letting the nature of business take it's course, the cabal intervened in General Motors' impending bankruptcy, but only to the extent of bailing out the auto unions with cash, an ownership stake in GM as well as placing the UAW retirement system under federal control/funding. The US Treasury is still a major stakeholder in General Motors, monies the taxpayer will never recover!~~
"....so we took on a broken health care system, we invested in new American technologies to end our addiction to foreign oil, we put in place tough new rules on big banks...."
"We also changed a tax code that was too skewed in favor of the wealthiest Americans. We locked in tax cuts for 98 percent of Americans."
~~The obama lip service to the nearly destroyed middleclass continues. Whatever was 'broken' in the previous healthcare system, obamaKare ignored. Whatever worked in the previous healthcare system, obamaKare DESTROYED. The cabal campaigned on the (alleged) 30 million Americans without health insurance. IF AND WHEN obamaKare is fully implemented, the same 30 million Americans--plus millions of illegal 'democrats'--will still be lacking health insurance. A 'quick-fix' for the obama Cabal would have been to open health insurance providers to nationwide sales and marketing. With competition comes fair and AFFORDABLE premiums!!
Any time the taxpayer hears the word 'investment' from any branch of any government, best they should hang onto their wallets!! There have been solutions available to both parties to lessen the affects of foreign oil. Were they considered? N-o-o-o-o-o!! Since the "Clown Prince's" immaculation, he could have--with the stroke of a pen; by executive order--made the United States the successor to Saudi Arabia in the world's oil marketplace. obama could have easily approved the Keystone XL pipeline project. obama could have easily opened federal lands to exploration development of both drilling and fracking. Did he consider it? N-o-o-o-o-o!! Instead, the best play--in his limited common sense--was to bankroll alternative energies, their development and production. The "Clown Prince" GAVE tens-of-billions to alternative energy companies and--wouldn'cha know it--almost immediately thereafter, at least EIGHT solar companies filed for bankruptcy after--of course--paying their obama donors, bundlers and supporters millions in bonus money!!
The 'new-and-improved' banking rules benefitted Big Banking at the expense of the lowly middleclass. More stringent control over practically anything the middleclass investor wanted to do rather than restricting much of the banking industry.
Rather than considering the complete scrapping of the current tax code in favor of a fair or flat tax, the cabal passed out miniscule tax cuts while simultaneously strangling business/corporate investment by taxing money away from the wealthier among us, money that undoubtedly could have been invested in R and D, in plant and equipment. A fair or flat taxing system could have been written to ensure the treasury had sufficient funds to piss away as they do today!~~
"....over the last three-and-a-half years, our businesses have added 7.5 million new jobs. The unemployment rate has come down. Our housing market is healing. Our financial system is safer. We sell more goods made in America to the rest of the world than ever before. We generate more renewable energy than ever before. We produce more natural gas than anybody. Health care costs are growing at the slowest rate in 50 years."
~~Over the past three-and-a-half years, our businesses have lost nearly TEN MILLION JOBS, thus the obama obfuscation is necessary.
Any other president would be ashamed of a 7.4% unemployment rate. The primary reason the obama rate has come down from the 10% range is the severe reduction in the labor participation rate. If the participation rate were the same as during the President Bush years, the obama unemployment rate would be in the 22-25% range, and he'd still be proud of it!! As it is, the U-6 unemployment rate (that counts EVERYONE) is in the 15% range. A dam' shame for a president; acceptable for a ruler.
The obama Cabal is still backing a sub-prime mortgage pyramid scheme and is very likely to continue until the next housing collapse. I doubt that the financial system is safer but no matter, the middleclass has little money. obama's much celebrated renewable energy plan is unworkable. All facets of alternative energy rely on sizeable, annual government subsidies; none are self-sustaining, stand alone! It's not due to obama that we produce more natural gas than anybody. He's done everything possible to thwart the petroleum/natural gas industries. The vast majority of production occurs on private lands where obama has little control, at least for now. Due to obamaKare, the costs to the individual, to the family are growing exponentially, if they can find coverage at all! obamaKare is the mirror image of the disaster that is the obama Cabal.~~
"We need to grow faster. We need more good-paying jobs. We need more broad-based prosperity. We need more ladders of opportunity for people who are currently poor, but want to get into the middle class.
Because even though our businesses are creating new jobs and have broken record profits, the top 1 percent of Americans took home 20 percent of the nation’s income last year, while the average worker isn’t seeing a raise at all.
In fact, that understates the problem. Most of the gains have gone to the top one-tenth of 1 percent. So in many ways, the trends that have taken hold over the past few decades of a winner-take-all economy, where a few do better and better and better, while everybody else just treads water or loses ground, those trends have been made worse by the recession."
~~Everything--and I mean EVERYTHING--that the obama Cabal has f*cked up thus far, can be laid at the feet of obamaKare!! Every ill in the previous paragraph has been exacerbated by the unintended--or intended--consequences of obamaKare! America has gone from the 19th century standard 100-hour, six-day workweek to become a nation with the new 29-hour workweek as full time employment. "Clown Prince" obama can excoriate the rich, the wealthy all he wants, but I've never had a paycheck signed by a poor person!! It can only get worse if he and the RINOs get their coveted 'comprehensive immigration reform.' (Remember: in this case 'comprehensive' means open the gates and let the influx of human debris begin!)!!~~
In the last third of "Clown Prince" obama's blusterful blather, he does little more than add his personal touch to all the socio-fascist bullshit he learned from Saul Alinsky and that dynamic duo: Cloward and Piven!! The only phrases missing are "It's all Bush's fault" and "You're a racist." Obama and his minions spend most of their waking moments excoriating the conservatives in the congress. Those like Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Mike Lee, Senator Rand Paul and others who've actually read the US Constitution and stand ready to honor their oath of office.... you know the one:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
(oath emphasis-mine.)
Now we have the looming conflagration of defunding obamaKare versus an increase in the federal debt ceiling. For the past several years the Senate has used an illegitimate continuing spending resolution to continue government operations. Said resolution instead of an annual budget hides the vast amounts and coverage of the government's spending habits. "Clown Prince" obama and his Cabal accuse the republicRATic House of favoring a 'government shut-down' rather than cave on defunding the unaffordable, impossible-to-implement, federal health plan. Imagine giving your morbidly obese child a twenty-dollar-bill in the local candy store! That's directly akin to continuing to raise the debt ceiling for a socio-fascist spender like the "Clown Prince."

This'n'That; March Twenty-First #1 NOMO-Cuomo!
Gov "NoMo" Cuomo's Gun Bill Altered!
Originally, New York's Governor Andrew Cuomo wanted to restrict gun magazines, but his desires got all twisted during the negotiation process. The liberal communistic party in New York altered the wording from
"gun magazines must be limited to 7,000 words"
to
"gun magazines must be limited to 7 rounds."
It's plain to see the liberals thought there'd be less opposition to the Second Amendment; more opposition to the 'freedom of the press' clause of the First Amendment!!
New York's legislators just make laws, rules, regulations no matter how logical (or, better yet, illogical) pertinent or necessary they are. The official state stance of anti-fracking illustrates the level of 'logic' applied in Albany!!
Comments, anyone?

This'n'That; January Tenth #2; SoS!
As Usual, State of the State 'Barks up Wrong Tree'
As with his father; as with his fraternal brothers--the obamAlinskyites--Young Andy is only giving half of his subjects half of the story during his reading of the "State of the State" blather! Not only that, Cuomo-The-Younger--as is the norm--routinely only speaks to New York City concerns, problems, solutions; to hell with upstate, to hell with Western New York.... possibly excepting the Finger Lakes wine industry.
Let's have a look at just some of the points Young Andy brought up:
Gun Control--As is most of the rest of the nation, Governor Cuomo (pron: kwoo.MOO) is providing us with his usual knee-jerk reactions and knee-jerk legislative proposals.
A. The governor wants the toughest gun control laws in the country.
B. The governor wants to eliminate multi-round magazines.
C. The governor wants background checks on every individual involved in every sale/purchase, even when I sell my rifle to you.
D. The governor wants enhanced punishments for various classes of miscreants. This'll sure deter those like Adam Lanza (Sandy Hook); like William Spengler (West Webster, N.Y., fires; murders), aye?!?
E. The governor wants to end 'lifetime' pistol permits; revert to bi- or tri-annual subsequent checks.
The governor fails to realize the true purposes of the Constitution's Second Amendment:
1. To "correct the thought processes" of a tyrannical federal government;
2. To defend the individual 'hearth and home;'
3. To defend the homeland against foreign miscreants.
Using the governor's logic--or lack thereof--one or two or three or four bullets will be legal, the next on will not! Where will the state's incursions stop?!?
Governor Cuomo--if allowed--will follow in The Bilderberg Group's footprints through "Clown Prince" obama. Said clown has "plug" biden studying how to further limit the individual American's liberties while members of his regime are buying 450,000,000 rounds of 40 cal, jacketed, hollow-point ammunition!!
That's enough ammo to shoot every resident of any age in the United States, Canada and Mexico, once!!
But.... there's a bit of "poop-in-the-puddin'" here:
the 40 caliber round is not standard military issue;
by international agreement, a jacketed bullet cannot be used in an organized, armed conflict;
by international agreement, hollow-point ammunition cannot not be used in an organized, armed conflict.
But--dear friends--we constitutionalists can use any caliber, any type ammunition to protect our rights; we're--currently--not an organized military unit!!
I digress; let's get back on topic:
State Minimum Wage--The governor is whining that New York State's minimum wage is below 19 states with higher wage laws. The governor is forgetting--or better yet, ignoring--the fact that increasing the wage employers are forced to pay will undoubtedly reduce the number of jobs currently available; will reduce the number of jobs created in the future. Cuomo wants the forced hourly-wage raised from $7.25 to $8.75!! The proven way to increase a standard of living is to allow market forces to establish the level of pay, NOT a particular level of government. The subject employee can aspire to a higher level of pay with experience, education and performance.
Stop and Frisk--The governor is kinda pissed that statistics show most "open view" whacky-weed arrests are centered around the negro and the hispanic miscreants; 82% (versus 18% 'other races'). To make his statistics look better, he'd like to reduce the requirements for arrest for these various amounts of 'weed.'
Education--In this category, Governor Cuomo does have some--rather, few--positive proposals. The governor wants to lengthen the daily and annual amount of learning time: full-day kindergartens and increasing the length of the school day; of the school year by 25%. The problem is he wants to use state grants as the primary brigery reward.
Additionally, he wants to throw more and more money at teachers and principals. These funds--likely to fail as before--will reinforce--bribe--those individuals' desires to enhance the success levels of the students under their care; their instruction. These silly incentives will include a "bar exam" for teachers as well as $60,000 bribes (4X$15,000) for "master teachers." The better path is to emulate Wisconsin's Governor Scott Walker and his actions to reduce the taxpayers' liabilities, redirect the saved funds toward the aformentioned bribery rather than burdening New York's property-tax payers ever further!!
The reader can check out the full transcript for other points the governor addressed.

This'n'That; May Sixteenth #1; NYS Idiots!
owe-bamaites In NYS Senate
Last month New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced his plan for an "Energy Superhighway" from the electricity producers in Canada to Central and Western New York, down into New York City. Although details are skimpy, the Governor's plan purports to eliminate--or lessen the effects of--the bottlenecks in this energy supply channel.
In following "Clown Prince ZERO-bama, the Narcissist's" 2008 campaign pledge for consumers' electric bills "to necessarily skyrocket," Senator George Maziarz's newly introducted bill--if passed--will do just that! Senator Maziarz introduced Senate bill S-7391, "An Act to amend the transportation corporation law, in relation to the powers of gas and electric corporations." At last count, there were seventeen co-sponsors. Said senator and his co-sponsoring cohorts are whining that the future transmission lines--either new, or upgraded--will subject the state's rate-payers to increased costs of both construction and product. As proposed, the Maziarz bill will limit the right of eminent domain to public purposes.
Given the state of both the national and state economies, now is not the time to 'kiss obama's fuzzy brown ass!!" Or to kiss--and protect--the various colored 'fuzzy asses' of the The Business Counsel of New York State, the NYS IBEW (utility workers') union as well as several small in-state electricity producers of questionable effeciency. Or to think of one's future political career as a determining factor in proposing or voting on legislative measures.
Most of the state's legislators--of any political stripe--are self-serving miscreants who should be tossed out on their "fuzzy (insert color here) asses" at the soonest possible election!!

This'n'That; April Sixth #2; 'Ya Can't Fix STUPID!'
New York State Assembly Promotes Poverty
Right after 'the-three-white-men-in-a-backroom' fashioned the next New York State budget--which incidently, gives welfareRATs a 10%'raise'--they're going after the individuals and businesses whose taxes pay for said budget.
The same three pasty-white guys want to raise New York's minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.50 per hour. With their 'fuzzy-math,' this increased labor cost will create 4,800 additional jobs; generate $600,000,000 in annual economic activity. The major problem here is--as is the norm--downstate will reap the benefits while upstate, the North Country and western New York will 'pay-the-piper!'
How can these guys, the "smartest people in the room," reconcile increased labor expense with a net-increase in jobs?!? It only stands-to-reason in this owe-bamaDepression that employers--fearful of the future--will lay-off enough workers to bring the total labor expense back to the pre-raise level. How tough is that to understand?!?
Exactly how does an increased cost-of-doing-business 'generate $600 million in increased economic activity?!?'
"Beats the snot out'a me!!"
"Ya can't fix STUPID!!"

This'n'That; February Ninth #2; 'Tricked??'
'Trickery' Redefined!
The words 'trickery; trick, are being redefined by the owe-bama Regime. The 'Funk 'n' Wagnalls' version:
trick-
1. An act or procedure intended to achieve an end by deceptive or fraudulent means.
2. A mischievious action; a prank.
3. A stupid, disgraceful, or childish act or performance.
trickery-
1. The practice or use of tricks; deception by stratagem.
"Clown Prince ZERO-bama, the Narcissist's" redefinition:
trick-
1. A deceptive or fraudulent act by any number of large banks, relative to the issuance of mortgages.
trickery-
1. A loan/mortgage officer's strategy of deceiving mortgagers.
As his blather opportunity at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building indicated, the "Clown Prince" and his miscreant 'General' Holder are happier-than-a-pig-in-sh*t!!! And of course, he had to parade a group of 'the offended' before the national pamphleteers for effect. As many before me have factually stated--and the "Clown Prince" and many other owe-bamacRATics refuse to acknowledge--this whole residential mortgage travesty began with the "Slick-Willie" Clinton administration. "Slick" and his HUD Secretary--the current New York Governor--Andrew Cuomo pressured both the GSEs and private bankers to issue mortgages to those of marginal qualifications. All presidents since, exacerbated the kerfuffle with the added pressure of their own vote-buying schemes.
Now with George Soros finally admitting "Clown Prince ZERO-bama, the Narcissist" is no longer the 'shoo-in' for a second term that everyone believed, they've got to do something--ANYTHING--to shore up their voter base. My guess is: privately, George is wondering how he could have picked such a stupid individual to buy a presidency for!! The "Clown Prince" daily proves that advanced education does not indicate advanced intelligence.
The "Clown Prince" and his minions would have you believe that bankers all across the country looked out their office windows one day, saw some unsuspecting folks walking down the street, ran out to them and individually ordered them into his office. Using the 'presidential version of trickery,' said bankers then cajoled these some-millions of unsuspecting passers-by into signing mortgage papers for some house that's most probably beyond their means. Have you ever known anyone who was dragged--kickin'n'screamin'--into a bank to sign the paperwork for a mortgage they didn't want?!? NEITHER HAVE I!!!

1. The practice or use of tricks; deception by stratagem.
"Clown Prince ZERO-bama, the Narcissist's" redefinition:
trick-
1. A deceptive or fraudulent act by any number of large banks, relative to the issuance of mortgages.
trickery-
1. A loan/mortgage officer's strategy of deceiving mortgagers.
As his blather opportunity at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building indicated, the "Clown Prince" and his miscreant 'General' Holder are happier-than-a-pig-in-sh*t!!! And of course, he had to parade a group of 'the offended' before the national pamphleteers for effect. As many before me have factually stated--and the "Clown Prince" and many other owe-bamacRATics refuse to acknowledge--this whole residential mortgage travesty began with the "Slick-Willie" Clinton administration. "Slick" and his HUD Secretary--the current New York Governor--Andrew Cuomo pressured both the GSEs and private bankers to issue mortgages to those of marginal qualifications. All presidents since, exacerbated the kerfuffle with the added pressure of their own vote-buying schemes.
Now with George Soros finally admitting "Clown Prince ZERO-bama, the Narcissist" is no longer the 'shoo-in' for a second term that everyone believed, they've got to do something--ANYTHING--to shore up their voter base. My guess is: privately, George is wondering how he could have picked such a stupid individual to buy a presidency for!! The "Clown Prince" daily proves that advanced education does not indicate advanced intelligence.
The "Clown Prince" and his minions would have you believe that bankers all across the country looked out their office windows one day, saw some unsuspecting folks walking down the street, ran out to them and individually ordered them into his office. Using the 'presidential version of trickery,' said bankers then cajoled these some-millions of unsuspecting passers-by into signing mortgage papers for some house that's most probably beyond their means. Have you ever known anyone who was dragged--kickin'n'screamin'--into a bank to sign the paperwork for a mortgage they didn't want?!? NEITHER HAVE I!!!
Your thoughts?

"Clown Prince" Weekly Blather; January 28th
A Patriotic Response To The "Clown Prince;" 01/28/2012

January 28, 2011
On Tuesday, in my State of the Union Address, I laid out a blueprint for an economy built to last – an economy built on American manufacturing, American energy, skills for American workers, and a renewal of American values. This week, I took that blueprint across the country, and what I saw was people who work hard and believe in each other. They believe in the America that’s within our reach. But they’re not sure that the right thing will get done in Washington this year, or next year, or the year after that. And frankly, when you look at some of the things that go on in this town, who could blame them for being a little cynical?
Just two days ago, a senator from Utah promised to obstruct every single American I appoint to a judgeship or public service position – unless I fire the consumer watchdog I put in place to protect the American people from financial schemes or malpractice. For the most part, it’s not that this senator thinks these nominees are unqualified. In fact, all of the judicial nominees being blocked have bipartisan support. And almost 90 percent have unanimous support from the Judiciary Committee. Instead, one of his aides told reporters that the senator plans to, and I’m quoting here, “Delay and slow the process in order to get the President’s attention.” This isn’t about me. We weren’t sent here to wage perpetual political campaigns against each other. We were sent here to serve the American people. And they deserve better than gridlock and games. One senator gumming up the works for the whole country is certainly not what our founding fathers envisioned.
[What I'm not telling you: This 'blueprint for an economy to last' is nothing more than just so much blather; blather I'm ever more famous for. In this context, "an economy" is based entirely on the survival of our current representative republic; that, a pseudo-democracy. History tells us the longest-lasting democracies have succumbed in 250 years, or less!! This means--statistically--the United States has a mere 14 years left (2026) in it's current lifecycle. For this reason--among others, more self-serving--I'm doing what I'm told: transform the United States away from said pseudo-democracy.
My federally (read: taxpayer-thus illegal) funded campaign stops across the country this week, I could have chosen any topic to blather on about. I chose this one for the very reason of continuing the disguise of my 'jobs-killing' decisions as good for the country; good for the environment. I have--single-handedly--practically killed domestic energy exploration and production. Pandering to opposite sides of the "Keystone XL" pipeline project has left me in the untenable position of not satisfying either side; nor doing what's most beneficial to the American people. Rarely do owe-bamacRATics do "what's most beneficial to the American people," said party does what's best for the party, for the supporter, for the donor, et al. This "Keystone" kerfuffle seeks to pacifiy the labor and construction unions on the 'pro-construction' side; while the 'anti-construction' side appeases the environmentalist whackos. Thus, my decision--if one can call it that--placated my handlers in that it failed to allow 20,000 IMMEDIATE jobs as well as hundreds-of-thousands of FUTURE jobs!! This decision will go far in the 'timeline of demise' of the current form of government.
As I'm well known for, the current campaign season is developing into some form of warfare be it race, class, gender, economic or party!! When I appointed Richard Cordray, I appointed an individual that will eventually have control over every financial and economic decision ANY American makes. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is structured such that it can 'self-correct' it's path of over-reach into the citizen's financial life; taking more-and-more control over said decisions. Some members of the current 'class' of legislators have taken exception to this individual; such an exception that they intend to oppose every appointment, nomination I make. Check out this quote:
"This isn't about me."
There's never been a more false statement written by, for or about me!! This entire exploration into socio-fascism has been ENTIRELY about me!! From massaging my uncontrollable ego to the massive chip-on-my-shoulder to disguising my completely inept lack of experience; everything that happens in barackingham Palace is about me!!]
The truth is, neither party has been blameless in tactics like these. But it’s time for both parties to put an end to them. I’m asking Congress, both Democrats and Republicans, to stop this kind of behavior by passing a rule that allows all judicial and public service nominations a simple up-or-down vote within 90 days. We should also stem the corrosive influence of money in politics. The House and Senate should send me a bill that bans insider trading by Members of Congress, and I will sign it immediately. They should limit any elected official from owning stocks in industries they impact. And they should make sure people who bundle campaign contributions for Congress can’t lobby Congress, and vice versa. During my Address on Tuesday night, I spoke about the incredible example set by the men and women of our armed forces. At a time when too many of our institutions have let us down, they exceed all expectations. They’re not consumed with personal ambition. They don’t obsess over their differences. They focus on the mission at hand. They work together. If you agree with me that leaders in Washington should follow their example, then make your voice heard. Tell your Member of Congress that it’s time to end the gridlock, and start tackling the issues that really matter – an economy built on American manufacturing, American energy, American skills and education, and a return to American values. An economy built to last.
[What I'm not telling you:
"We should....stem the corrosive influence of money in politics."
Given my forecast of raising a billion-dollars for my re-immaculation campaign, where is the 'stemming' of any financial influence in the political arena?!? See, just more blather that must be adhered to by the public but will never apply to me or my regime!!
The 'example set by the men and women of our armed forces' is being handsomely rewarded by firing--laying off, if you prefer--80,000 brave, dedicated and faithful soldiers,sailors, airmen and marines at a time when we've massaged the unemployment numbers down to 8.2%. (Without massaging, the U-3 unemployment would be 11+%; the U-6--everyone unemployed--rate would be approaching 16%!!). This is how we reward said dedication, bravery and faithfullness?!? Casting these selfless warriors off into a society that can't help them support their families?!? Only in owe-bamanomics; only in socio-fascism!!!
Do you ever get sick of it?!? The way I whine about every little action that doesn't go my way?!? Now I'm choosing to whine about the Congress not adhering to my suggestions; the path toward ever more controlling socio-fascism!! I pretend to not understand how the Congress can not see the benefits to the country as a whole; so I whine-and-whine until I get the college kids; the welfareRATs; other socio-fascists, on board with my wants. Most of these followers have NEVER had an original thought; they look to rulers like me to fill their heads with 'oatmeal, like' suggestions, as well as 'pay them not to work!!'
To 'go-off-teleprompter, here: Did anyone see my interview with Diane Sawyer about Newt Gingrigh calling me 'the food-stamp president?!?' Let me quote:
"First of all, I don't put people on foodstamps. People become eligible for foodstamps. Second of all, the initial expansion of food-stamp eligibility happened under my republicRAT predecessor, not under me.
No 3, when you have a disastrous economic crash that results in 8 million people losing their jobs, more people are going to need more support from the government." ]
This is just another of my many excursions into presidential blather; I'm trying to once-again, "blame Bush!!" Here--with the use of the word 'initial'--I've managed to 'toss it off' to my predecessor, President Bush-43. While not the 'initial,' the greatest expansion in history came under my watch, by those concerned about my falling poll numbers. This expansion is being used as another method of buying support, buying votes, buying donations. While feeling the effects of the 'disastrous economic crash' began under President Bush-43, the groundwork was actually laid by "Slick-Willie" Clinton and his then-HUD Secretary, Andrew Cuomo. Their efforts to buy 'the black vote' led to relaxed mortgage requirements, resulting sub-prime mortgages to those who couldn't afford them and hand no intention of ever paying them back. So the entire economic crisis can be successfully lain at the feet of the owe-bamacRATic party!!
Lest we forget: Housing sales for the year 2011 were the WORST IN RECORDED AMERICAN HISTORY.... and on my watch!!!]

"Clown Prince" Weekly Blather; December 10th
A Patriotic Response To The "Clown Prince;" 12/10/2011

District of Corruption
December 10, 2011
Today, America faces a make-or-break moment for the middle class. After the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes, some still want to return to the same policies that got us into this mess. They’re the same policies that have stacked the deck against working Americans for too long. They’re part of a philosophy that says we’re better off when everyone is left to fend for themselves and play by their own rules. But I have a different vision. I believe that we are greater together than we are on our own. I believe that this country succeeds when everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone engages in fair play. To ensure fair play, last year, we passed the toughest financial reform in generations. See, for too long, the rules weren’t the same on Wall Street as they were on Main Street. Risky bets were made with other people’s money. Some folks made a lot of money taking advantage of consumers. It was wrong. And this irresponsible behavior on the part of some contributed to the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.
[What I'm not telling you: "....return to the same policies...." We're still in "....the same policies....;" those policies being those of rewarding your (actually my) communist friends in cash and 'negotiatables!' That's what the $787BILLION PORKulus did for me: rewarding my supporters and donors in cash, through cash support for their employers, et al.
"....everyone gets a fair shot....?" Where's the fairness when Barney Frank and Chris Dodd take advantage of their insider knowledge and political pull for sweetheart deals for themselves; then write some of the most restrictive, costly legislation governing credit cards, their administration, their use! Anyone else--other than these two ruling-class schlubs--would be in federal prison by now!!!
"....the toughest financial reform in generations...." is an example of FRANK-DODD alleged genius gone awry!! What the legislation should have done is to put it's two authors in jail for many long years; what it actually did was to blind-side the consumer with added fees coupled with reduced benefits!!
"....irresponsible behavior on the part of some....!" Funny how most of that irresponsible behavior was at the hand of the socio-fascists in Congress; yet I blame the republicRATics for all the economic ills of the nation!! There is a point when "blame Bush" becomes just another whine!!!]
So this financial reform refocuses the financial sector on what’s really important: getting capital to entrepreneurs who want to grow their businesses, and financing to millions of families who want to buy a house or send their kids to college. A key part of that was putting in place the first-ever consumer watchdog – someone whose job it is to protect American families from being taken advantage of by mortgage lenders, payday lenders, and debt collectors. Tens of millions of Americans use these services. Protecting them from unscrupulous practices is an important job. And that’s why I nominated Richard Cordray to serve as the head of this consumer watchdog agency. As the former Attorney General of Ohio, Richard helped recover billions of dollars on behalf of retirees and stood up to dishonest lending practices. He has the support of most Attorneys General across the country, both Democrats and Republicans. Members of Congress from both parties say he’s more than qualified for the job. And yet on Thursday, Republicans blocked his nomination. They refused to even allow it to come up for a vote. That doesn’t make any sense. Do Republicans in Congress think our financial crisis was caused by too much oversight of mortgage lenders or debt collectors? Of course not. And every day America has to wait for a new consumer protection watchdog is another day that dishonest businesses can target and take advantage of students, seniors, and service members. So I refuse to take “no” for an answer. Financial institutions have plenty of high-powered lawyers and lobbyists looking out for them. It’s time consumers had someone on their side. And while they’re at it, Republicans in Congress should stop the games and extend the payroll tax cut for working Americans. Because if they don’t, nearly 160 million Americans will see their taxes go up at the end of this month. Congress can’t end the year by taking money out of the pockets of working Americans. Now is not the time for playing politics. Now is the time to do what’s right for the American people. No one should go home for the holidays until we get this done. So tell your Members of Congress, don’t be a Grinch. Tell them to do the right thing for you and for our economy.
[What I'm not telling you: "....getting capital to entrepreneurs...." whad'da loada bullshit that is!! Just who do you think are the entrepreneurs; who are the folks who finance the entrepreneurs' ventures?!? Why, it's those evil millionaires I'm trying to turn you against!! They're the only ones able to finance such ventures; the socio-fascist owe-bama Regime only invests in 'already-failing' green-energy companies!!
Yes,the Richard Cordray nomination has been blocked by the republicRATics! Not for the reasons you might think, not for his socio-fascistic views and actions; No!! Mr Cordray was blocked because of me; I failed to, and refuse to; define the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau; it's authority; it's responsibilities!! So while I "piss'n'moan" about those evil republicRATics, I'm the true culprit in these massive economic kerfuffles I've exacerbated for almost three years!!
Those evil republicRATics have initiated legislation to do the very things I demand! But, they're trying to get me to sign some bill that will create several tens-of-thousands direct jobs and hundreds-of-thousands of indirect jobs; I'm talking about republicRATics' including approval for the "Keystone XL Pipeline" project.
As much as the current tax structure rapes the American Taxpayer, how can about $19.25 per week in additional taxes be that big a conundrum?!? Approval of the payroll tax 'holiday' does little more than continue the Congressional raid on the Social Security Trust Fund!! The public's been led to believe that the system is on the verge of collapse! Which is it?!? On the verge of collapse OR is it flush enough to be raided in another on-going owe-bamacRATic vote-buying scheme?!?
What the owe-bamacRATics would like everyone to forget: This sub-prime mortgage mess originated in the "Slick-Willie" Clinton administration. "Slick" and his then-HHS Secretary; the current New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo began promoting home ownership for those who could least afford it. They were also instrumental in 'suggesting' that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae approve mortgages by using fictitious credit reports!!
Members of the Congress should stay in the 'District of Corruption' until something is done about this payroll tax-Social Security raid. But--you can bett'cher ass--my family and I will be leaving for Hawaii at the appointed hour!! If you think Michelle's 'more-than-ample' ass won't be incased in a bikini-bottom upon arrival, you got another 'think' coming!!!]

This'n'That; August Fifteenth #2; Running Mate?
Couple 'Prominents' Suggesting "plug's" Out!
What exactly, did joe 'hairplug' biden bring to the "Clown Prince" owe-bama 2008 presidential ticket?!? "plug's" only real claim-to-fame is that each of his feet knows their way to his mouth! This guy is only as newsworthy as his next gaffe; as the next state funeral he attends; as the next debt-ceiling increase meeting that fails.
On the other hand, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has had a stellar--by comparison--first legislative session of his first term as governor!! Young Andy is demonstrating that he has at least a passing knowledge of economics; a property tax cap was enacted; ethics reform instituted, and--important to a small minority--homosexual marriage legislation was signed into law.
William Powers--the retired 'chief engineer' of the Ruddy Guiliani two-term mayorship and the George Pataki three-term governorship--believes that Young Andy will get a call from the "Clown Prince." Willie Brown--the former San Francisco mayor--also believes that 'plug' biden is history. Mayor Brown has said that he believes Young Andy will replace 'plug,' who will--in turn--replace Hillary Clinton as the regime's 'chief globetrotter.' We all know that owe-bama is an amateur, but George Soros and Valarie Jarrett should know better when it comes to joe "hairplug" biden!!
Maybe the 'man-on-the-street' has a better feel for the possibilities. New York is one of the bluest of the 'blue states' and "Clown Prince" owe-bama can't even muster a 50% approval rating?!? Why the hell would Governor Cuomo 'hitch his wagon' to thatstar cosmic black-hole?!? Conversely, Young Andy does have the Mario Cuomo DNA. Old Mario was instrumental in the state's current high income tax rates; was instrumental in driving businesses out of New York, both the city and the state; was instrumental in driving some of the highest taxpayers out of the state! In his own right, Young Andy can claim at least some responsibility for the ongoing sub-prime mortgage crisis. In 2000--as "Slick-Willie" Clinton's HUD Secretary--Young Andy is known to have brow-beaten groups of mortgage bankers into approving mortgages for those who should never have gotten them, to 'end discrimination against minorities.'
We shall see what we shall see!!
