This guy is such a fraud. I have owned business since the early 70’s. The 1974/75 and 80/82 recessions were worse. The problem is, guys like me are freaked out about this marxist, so we are shrinking our business in order to save money. Why risk becuase Obama will just take any profit. Obama go f yourself.

So obozo say it’s working huh. Unemployment at 9.5 percent, interest rates going up. His numbers are going down, he’s got to say it’s working. What a clown.

Did you see this clown trip over the threshold walking into the room in Italy yesterday. He wasn’t even chewing gum at the time.

Who can figure out what this guy is up to. He just stated emphatically that when he came into office the economy was losing jobs at the rate of 700 thousand per month.

Well the Bureau of Labor Statistics publicly reports Non Farm Payroll statistics on the first Friday of each month for the previous month. Here are those statistics for each month since Jan 2008. Does anyone see a monthly job loss anywhere of 700 thousand jobs?

J-08 -22
F-08 -76
M-08 -81
A-08 -28
M-08 -62
J-08 -51
J-08 -60
A-08 -73
S-08 -284
O-08 -320
N-08 -584
D-08 -577
J-09 -655
F-09 -651
M-09 -699
A-09 -504
M-09 -322
J-09 -467

Up to December 2007 the economy under the Bush Administration added 5.6 million jobs. Since January 2008, 5.5 million of those jobs have been lost.

And the LEFT will not like this but 5.2 million have been lost in the last 12 months since it became apparent last August that Obama was likely to succeed as President and the economy and the financial markets began to react to the possibility of a Socialist administration.

As far as I’m concerned the financial debacle we’re experiencing is directly attributable to Socialist Housing Policy established by the Democrats and Barney Frank and Fanny and Freddy. All of these job losses have occurred under the Democrats. Why can’t Obama even give a straight number on job losses? It’s unbelievable!

$43B in tax relief? My taxes aren’t relieved. It’s not that Obama’s a dumba$$. It’s that he thinks all of us are.

Lady liberty   July 11th, 2009 - 4:33 pm

yeah sure New York state paying $2,000. per highway sign for Obama stimulus road repair…wow what a load of crap!

Hickok   July 11th, 2009 - 4:58 pm

C’mon folks, let’s ease up with the cynicism here, and give the economic plan time to do what it was intended to do. He has assembled the finest group of economists in the country, so I have no doubt it’s just a matter of time before it works. Here are his economic advisers in the link below, enjoying themselves at a White House cookout.

2,190,000 Americans have lost their jobs since Obama came into office. That’s a fact, unlike his hypothetical number of jobs “saved.”

Eddie   July 11th, 2009 - 8:10 pm

Give it time to work??? What was it, only 10% of the stimulus has been delivered? So how does he say that tax relief has been bestowed upon his subjects? You don’t! He and his cronies are liars and they know it!

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   July 11th, 2009 - 8:22 pm

America…they must have gotten wind of our calls into Washington on a daily basis!

Don’t hold your breath though that Bilderberg Bush-Obama will hold to these words…he has continually let Americans down with his lies…this will probably prove to be just another!

In the meantime…do not give up calling daily into your Senators office on your complaints about:

1. No to an “overhaul” of the best healthcare in the world
2. No to cap & trade which will put more of us out of work…and then how will we pay those higher home utility bills this will also bring?
3. No to a racist Judge on the Supreme Court

4. Yes to no more spending…with a moratorium on “all” spending

And anything else you can think of to express to them!

And please, America, let us all support Ron Paul’s HR 1207 that is calling for a complete “audit” of the non-governmental Federal Reserve, the financial arm of the Bilderberg Society and home of Bilderberg members…Geithner, Bernanke, Paulson, Volckner and others!

TO REITERATE:

It now has the support of more than half the House of Representatives! But we need to encourage our House Reps to pass it onto the Senate for their approval!

Ron Paul stated…

“The tremendous grass-roots and bipartisan support in Congress for HR 1207 is an indicator of how mainstream America is fed up with Fed secrecy,” “I look forward to this issue receiving greater public exposure.”

House hearings on Federal Reserve transparency are expected within the next month. Rep Dennis Kucinich’s subcommittee forced the Fed to cough up internal documents earlier this week as part of its probe of the forced B of A-Merrill Lynch merger.

This America, on the heels of the Bank CEO that stated in hearings in Washington that he was strong armed to go along with this merger with Merrill-Lynch.

We must get this passed as if our lives, the lives of our children and grandchildren depend on it…because they do!

Personal Note:

I recently heard Bernanke express to a committee in Washington that letting them audit the Federal Reserve would give “too much power to Congress”!

America…can you believe that? Our Congressional reps represent American citizens from their districts…the financial power of this country was intended, by our founding fathers, to rest with the people…not a private bank with no ties to our government and no transparency.

They have been hiding things from us for years and it must be revealed.

One question to ask first…where is the $70 million or billion (I can’t remember which anymore) that disappeared when the first bailout was given? Why was it that Paulson could not give an answer about where this money went…our money…America!

We need answers…and Ron Paul’s HR 1207 will start the ball rolling to undercover what is going on at the Fed!

=======================
GOD BLESS AMERICA THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE…MAY OUR ‘CHRISTIAN’ GOD IN OUR ‘CHRISTIAN’ NATION COME AND HEAL OUR LAND AND OUR PEOPLE AS WE GO TO PRAYER AND ASK HIS FORGIVENESS FOR THROWING HIM OUT OF OUR COUNTRY, OUR HOMES AND OUR LIVES!

I just received this email today from Congressman Harry Mitchell of Arizona…expressing why he is supporting Ron Paul’s bill.
============================

Last week, I cosponsored H.R. 1207, The Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009,
which Congressman Paul introduced to shed some much-needed light on the often secret policymaking process at the Federal Reserve.

The Fed acts as the nation’s central bank – they’re in charge of formulating monetary policy, supervising and regulating banks, and providing services to financial institutions and the federal government. All of these critical functions are conducted behind closed doors. This is troubling.

While the nation recovers from economic downturn and Americans work to rebuild our economy, they deserve an honest assessment of what role the Fed plays in the financial system. This bill is an important step in being able to make that assessment.

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!!”

ENOUGH ALREADY!   July 11th, 2009 - 8:46 pm

We all need to contact our senators and GET IT THRU THEIR NUMB SKULLS THAT WE DO NOT WANT THE ENERGY BILL PASSED, NOR DO WE WANT THE NATIONAL HEALTH CARE CRAP PASSED. If either passes, the little bit of FUNCTIONING ECONOMY WILL DRY UP AND BLOW AWAY. The markets will crash. They actually are stipulating in the Energy Bill that NOBODY CAN SELL THEIR HOUSE UNTIL THEY “UPGRADE” THEIR FURNACE, WATER HEATER, ETC. ETC. ETC. TO MEET NEW GOVERNMENT STANDARDS! HOW ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE NEAR FORECLOSURE AND UNDER WATER WITH THEIR HOUSE VALUES GOING TO COUGH UP MONEY FOR UPGRADES BEFORE THEY CAN PUT THEIR HOUSE ON THE MARKET??

Oh and did you hear about the $18 MILLION allocated to UPGRADE THE GOVT’S RECOVERY WEBSITE?! JEEEEZUS!!!!!! ARE THESE PEOPLE BRAIN-DEAD OR WHAT?

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, FOR GOD’S SAKE!

IT Guy   July 11th, 2009 - 9:13 pm

Hey I do websites and I would redo Recovery Website for $17.5 million and save the government 1/2 million dollars. Does anyone know who I can talk to?????

Jamesb   July 11th, 2009 - 9:25 pm

That clinches it…OBAMA IS BACK ON THE CRACK PIPE! He lies right to our faces and gets away with it! Amazing…

Jamesb   July 11th, 2009 - 9:30 pm

IT Guy, are you a minority/Obama supporter? No? White men NEED NOT APPLY! Robert Reich said so in the first days of the Obama Disaster as a “consultant” commenting on the “stimulus package” earlier this year.

Stewie   July 11th, 2009 - 11:13 pm

43 Billion have made it’s way to working families…bully for us! Honestly I don’t see or feel it.

However, that leaves 740 billion that hasn’t made it to us that we still have to pay for. Where’s that money gone? I bet these jokers have no idea.

Kevin   July 11th, 2009 - 11:51 pm

“Worked as intended”.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Lie

The Big Lie (German: Große Lüge) is a propaganda technique. The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler in his 1925 autobiography Mein Kampf for a lie so “colossal” that no one would believe that someone “could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously”.

“Recovery has worked as intended?”–and it only took 10% of the Stimulus Funds?? Does that mean they plan to POCKET THE CHANGE?

The Big Lie   July 12th, 2009 - 5:45 am

More on The Big Lie… (from wikipedia)

“…United States Office of Strategic Services in describing Hitler’s psychological profile:[3][4]

His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.”

Not bad….spend trillions to get 43 Million…..guess this is the new math they teach….Lord have mercy

The only time The Mulatto Messiah’s stimulus package has worked was when he checked out that young thing’s a$$ in Italy this week.

The only time Larse’s stimulus package works, is when he’s having a cocktail with Congressman Bonnie Fwank.

Good one. Mrs Fatso Obama must also have at least three people on the payroll at $100,000 a year to look after this for her.
