Obama’s Summer Of Recovery? Economic Growth Slows

Friday, July 30th, 2010

While Obama traveled to Michigan today to cheer all of his accomplishments, one may want to take a breath and stop to reflect upon what he has done to kill jobs and opportunities.

Thanks to Obama and the Democrat-Socialists that control Congress:

2010 Gross Domestic Product fell to 2.4% in the 2nd Quarter

Michigan Unemployment has risen from 12% in 2009 to 13.6%  losing 112,000+ jobs

Obamamobile—$41,000 Boondoggle No One Will Buy

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

In April, Government Motors were running false and misleading ads, claiming to have paid the taxpayers back the Billions of Bailout Money “loaned” to them when in fact all they did was return $4.7 Billion Dollars to the Treasury by dipping into a separate pot of Bailout Money already owed to the taxpayers.

Are the taxpayers realizing a good return of their investment? Will GM actually manufacture affordable automobiles that the average American family will be interested in purchasing?

Sitting in the Obamamobile (Chevy Volt) with a $41,000 Dollar price tag less federal, state and local taxes, financing costs, insurance and maintenance–Service Stations may be unwilling to invest in the equipment necessary to repair electric vehicles, for there is no profit in it.

Are Electric Car manufacturing actually a good use of taxpayers money or just another government boondoggle?

Where will consumers go to recharge their electric vehicles? Much of the U.S. population do not live in large urban areas where recharging stations may one day exist, will the average American Consumer, actually be willing to wait 10 hours to fully recharge their electric vehicles from a standard outlet that only have a range of 40 miles?

Does Obama Want To Create Permanent Dependency?

Monday, July 19th, 2010

U.S. Unemployment is nearly 10%—President Obama’s offshore drilling ban will cost approximately $2.1 Billion Dollars in economic loss to Gulf Oil States during the first 6 months, a loss of 8,000 jobs and $500 Million in lost wages.

It’s estimated that Obama’s Offshore Drilling Moratorium will result in a loss of 12,000+ plus jobs nationwide, not only on oil rigs but related industries.

President Obama blames Republican’s for not extending jobless benefits all the while Democrat-Socialists control Congress and have reassured Americans that Obama’s Stimulus has kicked the economy into high gear creating 3.6 million jobs if all of this is true, why with such a robust recovery is it necessary to extend unemployment benefits again?

Americans of course know when they’re being lied to and realize that the economy is not producing jobs that the Obama Administration have championed. Unemployment is near double digits, consumer confidence has fallen to an 11 month low as the U.S. Economy is falling towards another credit collapse and the federal budget deficit continues to skyrocket during Obama’s watch.

Does Barack Obama, want to create permanent dependency on government in order for Americans to feel beholden to Democrat-Socialists, to ensure voter turnout them?

Free Market Capitalism is the engine that drives the U.S. Economy creating jobs and wealth potential, while government stifles economic prosperity by regulation, taxes and spending money other peoples money (redistributing income) resulting in permanent dependency on government.

President Obama makes poverty permanent creating an eternal class of the poor, from which there can be no relief—pioneering a perpetual source of grief.

How The 2,319 Page Dodd-Frank Financial Reform Legislation May Kill The Struggling U.S. Economy

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Democrat-Socialists in the Senate aided by RINO’S Scott Brown, R-MA together with Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins both from Maine, today passed the 2,319 page Obama’s Sweeping Financial Reform legislation with far reaching hands not just into Banks but attaches new regulations on Mine Operators and their subsidiaries operating mines, setting up 20 new offices that mandates new gender and racial quotas to addressing the Sense of Congress relating to the Democratic Republic of Congo who knows what these have to do with financial regulatory reform?

“Nowhere in the final bill will you see even a pretense of rolling back the endless federal incentives and mandates to extend credit, particularly mortgages to those who can not afford to pay them back. After all, the popular narrative insists that Wall Street Fat Cats must be to blame for the credit crisis, despite the recognition that mortgages were offered to unqualified individuals and families—banks will still be required to under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act to meet government imposed lending quotas” according to Mark A. Calabria, Director of Financial Regulations Studies at the Cato Institute

Democrat-Socialists leave to chance that Bureaucrats are somehow uniquely qualified to make decisions when it comes to levels of compensation of bank executives, the types of proprietary investments that banks may pursue to determining when a firm is too big to fail.

President Obama and his Socialist allies, specifically were granted authority to seize control and liquidate banks and other institutions under provisions of the Dodd-Frank bill.

How will the Dodd-Frank bill stabilize the financial markets? It is much more likely the Obama Financial Overhaul Legislation will strangle an already struggling, fragile economy teetering on a path to a double-dip recession with new government regulations and Congressional mandates in this latest Democrat-Socialist power grab now 110 days out until the mid-term elections.

Obama Inefficiency Economic Stimulus At Work

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

$20 Million Dollars spent of the taxpayers money on Obama Economic Stimulus Signs putting Americans to work? Three Construction Worker and what appears to be one Supervisor observing, were put to work erecting this one sign.

The Obama Administration claims that its $862 Billion Dollar Economic Stimulus has worked even better for the economically struggling economy than first reported, projecting that they have saved or created between 2.5 to 3.6 million jobs.

What is a Saved Job?

President Obama pledged to create 3.5 million new jobs by 2010 which would place total U.S. Employment at 137.8 million. Using that figure as a target, Obama’s jobs deficit (the difference between the end target and the current employment level) currently stands at more than 7 million jobs deficit.

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

There is a lot of bad news that “Hoax & Chains” would rather go unreported.

Democrat-Socialists spend $166 Billion Dollars in a single day the 3rd largest single day debt increase in American history.

Federal Budget Deficit exceeds $1 Trillion Dollars in June for the second straight year during Obama’s watch.

Former Democrat turned Independent Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman says that he will not be meeting with President Obama, during his two day visit to Nevada. Today Obama campaigned for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid who is struggling to hold on to his Senate Seat.

Welcome to Las Vegas President Obama, your economic policies stink Las Vegas is ground zero for mortgage foreclosures and the unemployment rate is 14% Obama’s promises that this would be “the Summer of Recovery” is anything but.

ObamaCare Doing For America, What RINO Mitt Romney Done For Massachusetts—God Have Mercy!

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

ObamaCare modeled after the Massachusetts Experiment signed into law in 2006 by then RINO Mitt Romney. What is so good about the Massachusetts law that Obama called it a “bold initiative” that would “reduce cost and expand coverage?”

Massachusetts has the highest average health care premiums in the nation, while Insurance companies have suffered $116 Million Dollars in losses.

Sarah Palin Was Correct About ObamaCare Death Panels

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

Remember last year when Democrat-Socialists, (Liberal Progressive Kool Aide drinkers that now want to repackage themselves as Center Right) decried former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin for writing that ObamaCare Death Panel Charge was 2009 Biggest Lie what has happened since?

ObamaCare bureaucrats have not not ruled out turning away sick people created by the new health care law to provide coverage for the uninsured.

Critics of the $5 Billion Dollar high risk pool insists it will run out of money before 01 January, 2014–that is the date when health plans can no longer deny insurance to persons with pre-existing conditions.

Obama Administration officials insist that they can make changes to the program to ensure it last until 2014 and risks turning away sick people by changing programs, reducing benefits to redistributing funds between state pools.

Sarah Palin was truly far ahead of the goofy loony liberal lefties concerning death panels ObamaCare rationing for all.
