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?

Give Back The Money

Posted on September 10, 2011 | Leave a comment

GE was awarded 44 contracts totaling over $46,000,000 and 44 grants totaling more than $79,000,000 from the Obama-Pelosi $757 billion dollar stimulus package.

Today GE announced that it was going to gut its offshore wind-power plans.

h/t GatewayPundit

Is this why GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt was hired by the POTUS, to create jobs and take them away???

I don’t think so, but it sure looks that way now doesn’t it?

In August there were 0 jobs made, or gained, or uh, nothing changed since July on the jobs front. What’s going to happen now, Wall Street? Particularly since this news comes on a weekend?

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.

Truth About Electric Cars

Posted on September 2, 2011 | 2 comments

In simplest terms, we are not ready. And here is why:

Electric cars aren’t necessarily green at all. Electric vehicles require large amounts of electricity – so much that Toronto Hydro chief Anthony Haines says he doesn’t know how he’d get it. “If you connect about 10 per cent of the homes on any given street with an electric car, the electricity system fails,” he said recently.

That is but a snippet from the article, be sure to read the whole thing.

One other thing to keep in mind, COSCTO has been removing charging stations from their parking lots (in CA) recently. They just may have saved themselves some grief.

Sorry, but like Kermit said: It isn’t easy, being green.

Obama Clock

As Hot Air puts it, “Sick of Obama? There’s an app for that.”

On the iPhone, but not on my Android cell.

C’mon, folks, we need this ported over to the Motorola Atrix and others!

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.
