Despite Election Defeat, Obama Sees Room To Push His Agenda
npr.org ^ | 12/29/14 | Steve Inskeep

...Obama has begun his administration's final phase the way he began several other chapters of his presidency: seeking to recover from disaster.

Obama has moved vigorously since his party lost the Senate in November. Without consulting Congress, he's offering legal status to millions of immigrants. He's restoring diplomatic relations with Cuba. Above all, he's striving to show he will not be a lame duck.

....Obama [says] that it's fair to think of him as a president who thinks he has done what he had to do, and now is free to focus on what he wants to do.

But Obama is not entirely "liberated": He can't finish what he started alone....

Newt Gingrich would hand Obama his ass on the first day Congress was back in session. Newt was able to shut down Clinton and force him to sign Welfare Reform. Obama doesn't have the brains or political skill of Bill Clinton.

NPR cheerleading for the Left as usual

Another Republican failure: not defunding NPR in the Bush administration when they had a chance

McConnell and Boehner will make room and clear his path, perhaps faster than he can move.

Well obviously there's room, look at how the GOP welcomes him with a red carpet, pulls out a chair for him, and nods along with everything he does.
(We shall see if this trend continues when the new Congress is sworn in; I'd like to think they'll stand up to him but, given the GOP's performance in the past decade, I think it's a long-shot.)

The Republicans were terrible with money during the Bush administration; just look at the bailouts, which started far before TARP. (Remember the airlines after 11-Sep-01?)

Obama’s illegal amnesty is a dire threat to American’s constitutional republic; we’re amazed and shocked that virtually no one in the GOP has the raw courage to check Obama’s excursion into tyranny.

Clearly, with the GOP’s pathetic political surrender (Boehner & McConnell) ... “We Patriots” must rise in DEFIANCE against Obama’s pillaging of the U.S. Constitution.

Who am I, this event’s organizer ? A simple Patriot, Aerospace Mechanical Engineer ... I am CHALLENGING “all” Patriots and Groups and LEADERS to put aside their PETTY personal conflicts and differences ... AND JOIN THIS FIGHT.

National (local) rallies is scheduled for Jan-3, 2015 (Saturday a week on 2015-01-03).

Can you take a moment out of a busy Christmas - New Year’s holiday season and help promote this crucial series of national rallies on 2015-01-03 ?

Momentum is building “nationally” for the rallies, and it’s already scheduled for at least one radio interview on Monday.

You’re encouraged to call into Mark Levin’s radio show, as well as Eric Erickson, Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Shawn Hannity, Joe Pags, Mark Davis (etc) as well as your local conservative radio talk show hosts.

As Ronald Reagan said ... “It’s amazing what can be accomplished when No One’s interested in getting the credit.”

King Obama is our dictator. Nothing can destroy his wishes for the next two years. Having the Senate and House means nothing since there is no real power if the GOP just does nothing except defund. Defund doesn't do a damn thing.

What is this now — the fourth article touting Obama’s ability to get things done in spite of being completely destroyed in the elections. The Journ-O-lists have certainly been busy pumping out the propaganda, disinformation and psychological operations warfare against the low information voter and the stupid leaders in the GOP Congress

This is the first of three parts of our year-end conversation . . . .

The next one is BS about race relations. I've got the federal government's own figures proving that's bullcrap. Especially telling is that the Obama-Holder Dept of Just Us stopped releasing National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) interracial crime stats (Table 42) showing black-on-white crime. At least the last time I saw it in their NCVS was 2008.

Will the third talk be about jobs?

Yes Obama has created millions of jobs.. I've had 17 of them. While they lasted. I'm down to just three of the jobs until they run out soon. :)

This is leading up to the State of the Union speech, it's time to start preparing for the lies and bullshit.

You can bet the bullcrap will be flying during the State of the Union speech. Here's government figures about that.

Using:

Choose Total nonfarm, Seasonally adjusted then

Comparing Reagan and Obama administrations: given the total nonfarm seasonally adjusted employed in the month before the respective administrations began.. how do they compare? (Green means numbers grew by five percent or more.)

The total nonfarm seasonally adjusted employed data came from the source. I used a spread sheet to compute the percentage difference between the current month's total nonfarm seasonally adjusted employed and the total nonfarm seasonally adjusted employed in the month before the respective administration began.

(I hope my table is not too wide.)

Total nonfarm seasonally adjusted employed Establishment Data 1979 - 2014
Series Id: CES0000000001
Seasonally Adjusted
