Wishful Thinking

Wow. Maybe there will be a job opening for BO soon.

I understand that the POTUS said, “it would be so much easier to be the president of China.”

Gee, does anyone think the possibility of that happening is likely? That is, given China owns a great deal of our country’s debt that, you know, was fueled these past two years by, ahem, our POTUS?

Well, we can certainly make it our job that BO gets a new job – come the end of 2012. What say? I just don’t think the line he will be standing in will be for a head of state anywhere else on the planet.

UPDATED: Perpetrating Fraud Times Three

This article, published today 3/7/11, describes what I wouldn’t call “political payback” – but the father does.

Imagine yourself running for office, losing to an incumbent, making an announcement to run again – and having your three college students targeted for expulsion despite their excellent grades and attitudes.

Read it and pass this story around. Better yet, contact the college and let them know what you think of their supposed fraudulent activities in this case. (Might there be a Board of Regents to bring this matter to their attention? Hhhmm?)

UPDATE: The response from the college. And a poll/forum should anyone care to partake of them.

There are outside opinions on whether this story is true and/or accurate. Frankly, there may be no way for those of us on the outside looking in to tell 100%. There ought to be an independent investigation to determine if such students are being manipulated such as this.

But on the chance this is essentially true, it bears putting this in front of you. The rest is up to you.

And then there’s this.

Government Spending Makes Us Mean

Which is the result of our POTUS and the 111th Congress.

Imagine this, the POTUS says “We need a government that lives within its means…“.

Well, let’s just take another look at those deficit charts, shall we?

POTUS, I give you a grade of F.

Wasting Time Money Effort for What?

Running away from their jobs just to return and try to throw the others out?

Don’t they know the residents of Wisconsin are not going to go along with this?

Goodbye, losers. Talk about bad attitudes.

Are there any adults in that group at all?

Getting a Real Education

If you were a union member, and your annual dues were doubled, would your union tell you how they were going to spend your money? …….. When you know they have financial problems?

And how would you react to that?

Well I say we should ask teachers, particularly those instructing mathematics tto the students, what they think the NEA (National Education Association) is doing by risking their futures this way.

Governmental Error

But not being responsible and taking the blame for it. Can you imagine that?

Here’s the gist of it: The combined forces of the DOJ and DHS intended to shut down ten (10) websites due to charges of child pornography. Trouble was, instead of just ten (10) sites to deal with, 84,000 (less 10) sites were accidentally labelled with a banner notice identifying those sites as trafficking in child porn.

I’d say that’s more thaan a bit much. Excessive, in fact. Sounds like charging innocents with false accusations. Libelous maybe?

To make things worse, yesterday the DOJ and DHS make a joint announcement on how good a job they are doing on project “Operation Protect Our Children”. That’s just marvelous, isn’t it?

So where’s the apology? Where’s the do no harm on this massive, over-reaching, tens of thousands of small businesses affected by some stupid error on their part?

Gee, for something so simple and expansive, one would think a joint effort between DOJ and DHS could actually, you know, patrol and seal our southern border with Mexico what say?

Talk about a massive screw up.

UPDATE: Speaking of Spending

I can’t, I just can’t – use a calculator anymore for these cost figures that are driven by the POTUS’ $3.73T budget released recently.

Here’s the breakdown and projections as explained (in summary) by HotAirPundit.

A recipe for disaster. Nothing else describes it.

“Live within our means”, BO? You should have had that mantra and worked it like you mean it – over two years ago.
You hypocrite.

UPDATE: By the way, BO, you remember saying this before, right? Going to halve the deficit? You know, cut the deficit by half its value? To do that required cuts, you know. So what happened to those cuts, BO?

To Spend Takes Energy

And in this case, an entire Department. As in, the Department of Energy.

Just how dumb are these cretins? Wanting to spend unrealized future “savings” on the heels of pay freezes?

They aren’t “savings” then are they? ‘Fess up now. We know the answer. Question is, do you?

Will someone PLEASE put the DOE out of our misery?

Work the future, indeed ….. wait, win? Nope. Doesn’t look like it to us math majors and minors.

AZ Sheriff Pondering U.S. Senate Run

My two cents, do it, Sheriff Joe.

Just do it.

Government Motors Spends Our Money

Bailed out. How about – thrown out? For this:

General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC, which each received government-funded bailouts, may award some managers bonuses of as much as 50 percent of their salary, said four people familiar with the plans.

GM plans to pay bonuses to most managers equal to 15 percent to 20 percent of their annual salary and as high as 50 percent to less than 1 percent of its 26,000 U.S. salaried employees, said one of the people, who asked not to be named revealing internal plans. Bonuses for Chrysler’s 10,755 salaried workers will average about $10,000, with a small group getting as much as half of their salary, one of the people said.

Nothing’s changed. Same old, same old.
