I have a feeling most of those signs are being put on projects that were going to happen regardless of the stimulus bill.
There are still faded signs on chain link fences in front of vacant lots in Dorchester that say “This Urban Renewal Project Brought to you by Mayor Kevin H. White”. The Mayah of the schitty of Boshton
His teleprompters are causing the problems..Oh yes, and Bush. The guy couldn’t pour pi$$ out of a boot with instructions on the heel...But he went to Harrrvard....I think he might want to get his money, ooops, our money back.
I was around during the Carter Administration. If fact, it was Carter who helped push me into the Republican/Conservative camp. In all this time, I never thought I’d see anyone as inept and clueless as Carter.
I was wrong. Very, very wrong.
My neighbors had never voted prior to 2008. When asked what I thought of Obama, I told them the truth. That he was a born liar, a Marxist of the first degree and that he will attempt to ruin the country if elected.
He then told me that he was going to vote for Obama because, and I quote, "I have to look out for myself and from what Obama is saying, he can give me what I need."
The funny thing about it, is he works for a building supply company. I asked him how business was last week and he said really, really down. I replied, "So, Zero gave you what you wanted, eh?
(and yes, he is still talking to me!)
The President is doing exactly what his playbook says to do: Destroy American free-market Capitalism as quickly as possible. Since all business, big and small is, a. at best on hold and just maintaining, "Going Galt", or b. failing, you have to say he and his handlers, the CPUSA, DSA are doing well. The initial intention was maybe only one term. . do as much damage to America as possible in 4 years. . .
LOL!! Excellent summary!!
Of course, Obama supported these and other Bush economic policies, so the “mess he inherited” is also a mess he helped to make.
Ah, yes. The good old days when the supply siders had a seat at the table. Now, we barely get crumbs. Pappa Bush called it ‘Voodoo economics’.
Well, the ‘voodoo economics’ spurred the greatest growth during the times of globalization. No one talks about competitive advanatge now. Only discussion now is about how to squeeze the rich!
When will they realize that even though the ‘rich’ received tax breaks from the Fed, many other taxes went up to compensate for the deficiency.
I own a small business and only had to pay a ‘Commercial Activity Tax’ a couple of years ago, along with the Universial Carrier Fee, and on and on...
Failed to deliver what? I think he was extremely successful: he hated the American middle class (of any ethnic background, particularly white, Asian, SE Asian and non-underclass Hispanic) and regarded successful blacks (which he is not, because he’s not really African American) as evil traitors and wanted to punish them, and I think he’s been quite successful in doing that.
I think more and more Democrats are feeling the same way. Lets hope so.

Obama care more about his damned waffles in the morning than suffering Americans w/o a job.
He’s the kid who get’s everything he ever wanted. He doesn’t know why or how and has zero appreciation for anything.
Now make that kid/personality into the leader of the free world and you have a time bomb waiting to self destruct and take a whole lot with it.
Nothing went wrong at all. It’s all working exactly according to plan. Every policy, domestic and foreign, has been completely disastrous for this country. There’s simply no way that these folks are so stupid and uneducated that they believe that what they are doing will result in good outcomes. Therefore, one has to conclude all that they are doing is being done with deliberate malice.
According to the record that is available, Barack Obama never took a course in economics or business or accounting or statistics.
........and it shows.
for tomorrow
WAYNE ALLYN ROOT: Overwhelm the system
Barack Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.
Barack Obama is my college classmate (Columbia University, class of '83) As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University. They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.
-- Universal health care. The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?
-- Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around."
-- Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama's plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.
-- Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America. But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security.
-- Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to
teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America. The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means.
-- Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition.
With the acts outlined above, Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.
Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Obama using the Cloward and Piven Plan.
very simple — this guy has had no experience running ANYTHING. He’s not been a mayor or a governor. He’s a career politico who has just shuffled paper and stood for elections. That’s all he knows. He’s a useless president.
Well clearly, taxes aren’t high enough — there’s a significant amount of holding back by investors and consumers because of the high deficits. /sarc Thanks Bokababe.
