McDonald’s Fourth-Quarter Profit Drops 23%

The Age: McDonald's, the world's largest restaurant chain, reports that fourth-quarter profit dropped 23% as a stronger dollar offset the benefit of sales growth in international markets. Net income fell to $US985.3 million, or 87 US cents a share, from $US1.27 billion, or $US1.06, a year earlier, the Oak Brook, Illinois-based company said today in a statement.

If McD relied on me, they’d have gone belly up ten years ago. Don’t eat there, won’t eat there… would not eat there even if it was free.

Better to simply skip a meal than to ingest their toxic waste.

Let’s not mince words: The land we love has been hijacked by a bunch of left-liberal extremists. They don’t have much of an idea about how to fix the economy. But they do know exactly how to ruin your life. And they will. In Welcome to Obamaland: I Have Seen Your Future, and It Doesn’t Work, British author James Delingpole reveals how.

As Delingpole explains in his bitingly funny style, Tony Blair and the damage he did to Britain is just a preview of what President Obama and his policies will do to America. Welcome to Obamaland chronicles the hangover Britons woke up to after the decade-long rule of Blair, Britain’s own golden-throated leader. They, too, were whipped up into a political frenzy by a government that could do no wrong but still managed to waste years creating new national crises, and making old problems worse than ever before.

Welcome to Obamaland, the Socialist Paradise:

“UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE”: Socialized medicine that will cost billions and introduce unprecedented waste, incompetence, and malpractice to American hospitals.

“ENVIRONMENTAL CARE”: Climate-change hysteria and vastly expensive projects to conquer “global warming.” You’ll be made to feel anything less is un-American.

“MULTICULTURALISM”: An immigration policy based on the lie that not allowing anyone into the U.S. is racist and that open borders prove our love for multiculturalism.

“SOCIAL JUSTICE”: State-enforced “fairness” through policies that reward those who make no effort and punish the successful.

“ETHICAL FOREIGN POLICY”: A powerless national security policy created because the left refuses to believe the truth – that terrorists have a violent, and homicidal hatred for our culture and will do anything to wipe it off the Earth.
