How Not To Make Jobs

Posted on September 12, 2011 | Leave a comment

And lose all of the confidence from the entire voting public in this country?
(Yeah, I know. Oversimplifying. But somehow, I expect he does not care.)

You raise new regulations (again) that will result in the loss of 500 jobs in Texas.

You raise taxes, and eliminate deductions, on the very people that are the backbone of job creation in this country.

You say a jobs bill is paid for, yet expect to raise $400B more in taxes.

And, somehow, nobody seemed to notice that Congress raised the debt ceiling last Thursday yet again, by $500B. Suspiciously, this figure is remarkably close to the amount the POTUS is claiming his “immediately pass this bill” is already “paid for.”

How can anyone believe this POTUS any more?

The lunch itself was Jay Carney.

Excellent job, Jake. Wanna run for President? We could really use a guy like you.

The transcript is here. A fantastic read.

New Deepwater Oil Reserves

Posted on September 6, 2011 | Leave a comment

In the Gulf. Question is, when oil is being extracted, will it be ours – or sold to some other country? And, how many resuscitated jobs will be developed?
So far, no answers to those questions yet. But the fascinating thing here is – this discovery was made as a result of recent work on an existing well that was halted over one year ago.

Imagine what our economy, jobs picture and fuel prices could have been – had it not been halted by this administration?

Bully In Chief At It Again

Posted on September 5, 2011 | Leave a comment

And now, before his upcoming Thursday speech on a jobs bill, our President has a message for the Republicans in Congress.

“We’re going to see if we’ve got some straight-shooters in Congress,” Obama said. “We’re going to see if congressional Republicans will put country before party.”

The president said that the time is now for Washington to work together to deal with the economic crisis, and not spend time on a “manufactured crisis” like the debt-ceiling debate. “The time for Washington games is over,” Obama said.

He thinks it’s a doozy. I wonder, who wrote it. Again we have an instance where this man seems to think he is acting presidential with his tactics.

Tiresome. And hardly seen as mature. He has obviously no intention of working with Republicans. That has been clear for quite some time, and now repeats that mantra.

Oh, President Obama? You’re repeating the need for roads & bridges rework in this message now, yes? It seems you said the purpose of that $787B stimulus was supposed to do exactly that, didn’t you? But where did that money go?

Remember in November 2012.

GM Hysteria

Posted on August 22, 2011 | 1 comment

Er, um, GM History. Yeah, that’s what I meant.

Question is, what does the word – Warranty – mean? Apparently, it no longer means anything to the “new” GM. You know, the car company now run by the UAW? The same company whose prior CEO was “fired” by Barry?

Well, I’ll let Andrew Breitbart recap the history of the GM transmografication (!) to us all.

All I know is, I am glad my truck is paid off. Should I ever need to replace it – it will not be a GM product.

Thanks a whole heckuva lot, Barry.

EXXON Fighting Oil Killers

Posted on August 20, 2011 | Leave a comment

Here. In the Gulf of Mexico. Our own regulators killed EXXON’s attempt to drill in the largest oil field of over a billion gallons discovered in 2007.
h/t Hot Air.

Per Investors Business Daily:

The Exxon discovery is the biggest in a decade. If put into operation, its billion barrels will be enough to make a dent in America’s oil dependency on foreign tyrants. If that isn’t a sufficient national security reason, what is?

Not to mention our thousands of jobs lost in the Gulf Coast area and beyond, revenues to the government funds lost, economic devastation, more funds lost to overseas oil companies, our oil rigs lost to other countries, etc., etc. etc.

Now what was that quote by candidate Barak Obama? Oh, yeah:
“Under my plan, electrical energy costs would necessarily skyrocket.”

Apparently, it isn’t just coal that provides energy, now is it?

More Government Infringement On Farmers

Posted on August 12, 2011 | Leave a comment

Not only is it absurd, will this be the straw that breaks the farmers backs?

While driving more out of farming and growing ever more expensive food, if any, for the masses? You know, us?

What’s next? Taxing pitchforks out of existence?

STOP THE PRESSES ! Well, somebody has a head on their shoulders, thank goodness. The idea of having farmers take a CDL driver’s test is now nixed.

UPDATE: Reworking Rewriting History

Posted on August 11, 2011 | Leave a comment

At our own White House official website.

Who would have guessed such attitudes would be so brazen, so despicable?

Wow. Just – wow.

UPDATE: AHA !! Now we know the real reason. It involves (mistaken) White House policy versus legal (?) actions and rewriting their website content to get them in synch. Of course, the Supreme Court has better information on what they should do instead. Way to go, Chief Justice Roberts.

But if the guys at the White House thought they could get away with this, they didn’t read footnote 10 of Chief Justice John Roberts’s opinion for the court in Arizona Free Enterprise Club’s Freedom Club PAC v. Bennett (citations and extraneous quotation marks omitted): “Prior to oral argument in this case, the Citizens Clean Elections Commission’s Web site stated that ‘The Citizens Clean Elections Act was passed by the people of Arizona in 1998 to level the playing field when it comes to running for office.’ The Web site now says that ‘The Citizens Clean Elections Act was passed by the people of Arizona in 1998 to restore citizen participation and confidence in our political system.’ ”

The court had previously held that preventing corruption was a “compelling state interest” that justified some restrictions on political speech. But as the chief justice noted, “we have repeatedly rejected the argument that the government has a compelling state interest in ‘leveling the playing field’ that can justify undue burdens on political speech.” The commission, a state government agency, was altering its public statements to bring them into line with its legal defense–precisely what the White House is now doing.
