Bully In Chief At It Again

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.

Ethical Oil

Yeah, drill, baby, drill. Here, in the U.S. of A.

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

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.

Waters Is Part of The Problem

Most definitely.

The Tea Party responds.

She can go straight …. home. And don’t come back.

Let’s see what else she has said:

Threatens to nationalize Oil Compmanies.

Covering up the Fannie Mae & Freddy Mac Scam.

Cheap Housing

$10,000 per house, for starters, here in Baltimore.
Where, exactly, I have no idea.

Got money? That’s the question.

My next question: What’s the property taxes on the property?????

Bad News for Revenues

The “rich” are fewer in numbers. And this isn’t good, for any of us.

This means there is less taxable income streaming into the federal government.

So what’s this about paying one’s fair share if you’re “rich”?

Read the article, Where Have All The Millionaires Gone?”

The economic health is dependent on the quantity of earners. And since this is changing, along with rising unemployment, there is obviously fewer in the workforce earning anything. Couple that with businesses failing and those incapable of hiring … well that’s a recipe for disaster that we haven’t seen in a long time. And the government has no idea how to fix it because they interfered in the private sector with regulations, policies, tax increases and new legislation destined to increase our costs (unconstitutionally).

The key word here is – interference – which has also affected the rest of the market forces.

Maxine, You First

Crude, rude and tattooed, most likely.

Apparently, Maxine Waters doesn’t care much for Tea Party members. Guess what, Maxine, we don’t like Socialists, either.

The new civility – same as the old civility.

There You Go Again

Heh. How true.

EXXON Fighting Oil Killers

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?
