“For eight years before we arrived in the West Wing, Mr. Boehner and his party ran the economy literally into the ground,” he said. “We’ve seen this movie before, Mr. Boehner. We’ve seen it before and we know how it ends.”
Joe, do you mean the movie where unemployment was only 5.5%? Was that the movie you were talking about?
Biden conceded that the economic recovery was not proceeding as fast as the administration had hoped, but claimed there was “no doubt we’re moving in the right direction.”
Right direction? What are you smoking, Joe? Up is Down, Wrong is Right, it’s Bizarro World and you are in charge. G_d help us!
Under your regimen, National Debt has doubled, we have double digit unemployment, 500,000 new jobless claims announced this week, the Dow Jones on the way to 5,000, and huge tax increases on the way for the producers. This can’t end well.
Never in the history of The United States has there been a more incompetent, crooked and immoral executive branch. In the last 2 years of the Bush Administration the Democrats were in charge of the legislature and single handedly destroyed The United States economy. AND! Democrats continue to destroy the economy at an accelerated rate. It appears deliberate and in my opinion borders on TREASON!
Barack Obama has abandoned America at the place where America’s heart was broken nine years ago, and where her true values were on display for all to see,” said Debra Burlingame, a spokeswoman for a group of victims’ families, according to The Associated Press. Burlingame’s brother was a pilot killed in the 9/11 attacks.

Obama - Missed the 100 Year Celebration of an American Institution
Obama gave up a once in 100 year opportunity to visit the Boy Scout Jamboree. Instead, he decides to appear on the TV show The View which appears 5 times a week.
Obama sends a Video that is soundly booed, and rightly so!
But neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt. He therefore is the truest friend to the liberty of his country who tries most to promote its virtue, and who, so far as his power and influence extend, will not suffer a man to be chosen into any office of power and trust who is not a wise and virtuous man.
CLASS is a new long-term-care insurance program that was inserted into Obamacare so that Congress could raid its $70 billion surplus through 2020 to cover Obamacare’s initial deficits. Like the raided Social Security trust fund, future taxpayers will have to repay that $70 billion with interest when the program falls into deficit later.
“a Ponzi scheme of the first order, the kind of thing that Bernie Madoff would have been proud of.”
Thus, even Sen. Kent Conrad (D., N.D.) admits that Congress has enacted “a Ponzi scheme of the first order, the kind of thing that Bernie Madoff would have been proud of.”
Just another reason Obamacare needs to be repealed, CLASS is another entitlement that America can’t afford.
Who knew laws would be abrogated, criminals rewarded and riches absconded? Who knew centuries old jurisprudence & Constitutional provisions would be discarded as mere inconveniences which were preventing rewarding cronies & political supporters?
dupes, rubes & dopes (um, that would be most of us), made the fatal mistake of bringing a knife to a gun-fight. Never, ever apply logic & fundamental reasoning skills in an environment where the thugs control all the cards.
I’ve learned my lesson - how many others have learned theirs?
Too often, much of late, the last couple three years, the mal-distribution of income in American is gone up way too much, the wealthy are getting way, way too wealthy and the middle income class is left behind,” he said. “Wages have not kept up with increased income of the highest income in America. This legislation will have the effect of addressing that mal-distribution of income in America.
President Obama’s fiscal 2011 budget will generate nearly $10 trillion in cumulative budget deficits over the next 10 years, $1.2 trillion more than the administration projected, and raise the federal debt to 90 percent of the nation’s economic output by 2020, the Congressional Budget Office reported Thursday.
‘The federal public debt, which was $6.3 trillion ($56,000 per household) when Mr. Obama entered office amid an economic crisis, totals $8.2 trillion ($72,000 per household) today, and it’s headed toward $20.3 trillion (more than $170,000 per household) in 2020’
The federal public debt, which was $6.3 trillion ($56,000 per household) when Mr. Obama entered office amid an economic crisis, totals $8.2 trillion ($72,000 per household) today, and it’s headed toward $20.3 trillion (more than $170,000 per household) in 2020, according to CBO’s deficit estimates.
That figure would equal 90 percent of the estimated gross domestic product in 2020, up from 40 percent at the end of fiscal 2008. By comparison, America’s debt-to-GDP ratio peaked at 109 percent at the end of World War II, while the ratio for economically troubled Greece hit 115 percent last year.
Here’s a News flash for you, Ed. That was tried by “Air America” and the business model of paying radio stations to air communistsocialistprogressive liberal talk radio was a failure.
You eventually run out of other peoples money.
Here’s a hint for you Ed, the radio stations pay Rush Limbaugh for the privilege of airing his show because the American People actually want to listen. Radio stations like to have lots of listeners so that they can sell advertising and make a profit. To a radio station “Socialism” in talk radio would be a disaster.
On the cusp of succeeding where numerous past congresses and administrations have failed, jubilant House Democrats voted 219-212 late Sunday to send legislation to Obama that would extend coverage to 32 million uninsured Americans, reduce deficits and ban insurance company practices such as denying coverage to people with pre-existing medical conditions.
‘This is what change looks like,” Obama said later in televised remarks that stirred memories of his 2008 campaign promise of “change we can believe in.’
‘We proved that this government — a government of the people and by the people — still works for the people.’
‘This is what change looks like’
‘We proved that this government — a government of the people and by the people — still works for the people.’
Social Security and Medicare are flat broke and now the Democrats want to create another entitlement program that we can’t afford.
The majority of Americans don’t want it but they are going to force it on us any way. This is what the face of tyranny looks like and it is not going to go well.
I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
The Democrats are assaulting the very pillars of our democracy. As the debate on Obamacare reaches the long, painful end, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is confronting a political nightmare. She may not have the 216 votes necessary to pass the Senate’s health care bill in the House
Hence, Mrs. Pelosi and her congressional Democratic allies are seriously considering using a procedural ruse to circumvent the traditional constitutional process. Led by Rep. Louise M. Slaughter, New York Democrat and chairman of the House Rules Committee, the new plan - called the “Slaughter Solution” - is not to pass the Senate version on an up-or-down vote. Rather, it is to have the House “deem” that the legislation was passed and then have members vote directly on a series of “sidecar” amendments to fix the things it does not like.
The Slaughter Solution is a poisoned chalice. By drinking from it, the Democrats would not only commit political suicide. They would guarantee that any bill signed by Mr. Obama is illegitimate, illegal and blatantly unconstitutional. It would be worse than a strategic blunder; it would be a crime - a moral crime against the American people and a direct abrogation of the Constitution and our very democracy.
‘It would open Mr. Obama, as well as key congressional leaders such as Mrs. Pelosi, to impeachment.’
It would open Mr. Obama, as well as key congressional leaders such as Mrs. Pelosi, to impeachment. The Slaughter Solution would replace the rule of law with arbitrary one-party rule. It violates the entire basis of our constitutional government - meeting the threshold of “high crimes and misdemeanors.” If it’s enacted, Republicans should campaign for the November elections not only on repealing Obamacare, but on removing Mr. Obama and his gang of leftist thugs from office.
The Obama administration is poised to ban offshore oil drilling on the outer continental shelf until 2012 or beyond. Meanwhile, Russia is making a bold strategic leap to begin drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico. While the United States attempts to shift gears to alternative fuels to battle the purported evils of carbon emissions, Russia will erect oil derricks off the Cuban coast
Offshore oil production makes economic sense. It creates jobs and helps fulfill America’s vast energy needs. It contributes to the gross domestic product and does not increase the trade deficit. Higher oil supply helps keep a lid on rising prices, and greater American production gives the United States more influence over the global market.
Drilling is also wildly popular with the public. A Pew Research Center poll from February showed 63 percent support for offshore drilling for oil and natural gas. Americans understand the fundamental points: The oil is there, and we need it. If we don’t drill it out, we have to buy it from other countries.
We have the means to become energy independent and choose not to do so due to the destructive policies of the Obama Administration.
At what point does the deliberate destruction of The United States rise to a level high enough to be called treason?
The president will refuse to make fund-raising visits during November elections to any district whose representative has not backed the bill.
A one-night presidential appearance can bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars in funds which would otherwise take months to accumulate through cold-calling by campaign volunteers.
Mr Obama’s threat came as the year-long debate over his signature domestic policy entered its final week.
Mr Obama is personally telephoning congressmen who are still on the fence this week, in between several personal appearances devoted toward swinging public opinion.
‘The president will refuse to make fund-raising visits during November elections’
With a threat like that maybe a bunch of Democrats will vote against Obamacare. Real smart Mr. President.
The Obama administration will accept no more public input for a federal strategy that could prohibit U.S. citizens from fishing the nation’s oceans, coastal areas, Great Lakes, and even inland waters.
This announcement comes at the time when the situation supposedly still is “fluid” and the Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force still hasn’t issued its final report on zoning uses of these waters.
‘Lubchenco and others in the administration have close ties to environmental groups who would like nothing better than to ban recreational angling.’
Led by NOAA’s Jane Lubchenco, the task force has shown no overt dislike of recreational angling, but its indifference to the economic, social and biological value of the sport has been deafening.
Additionally, Lubchenco and others in the administration have close ties to environmental groups who would like nothing better than to ban recreational angling. And evidence suggests that these organizations have been the engine behind the task force since before Obama issued a memo creating it last June.
In America there is an estimated 60 Million Anglers, (Sport Fishermen). Imagine the jobs lost if fishing across The United States was banned? Your rights taken away with the stroke of President Obama’s pen.
The Democrat and Republicans In Name Only, (RINO)s, have lost touch with the American People. They have become the political elite and We the People have become "fly-over country." I am not a Nazi, a terrorist, a member of the KKK, a racist, or a member of an angry mob. I'm not a birther, teabagger, truther or astroturfer. I do, however believe in the original intent of the Founding Fathers, the United States Constituton and the rule of law. I believe that Government should serve the People, not the other way around. I’m an American and conservative to my very core.
