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.)
NPR is still publicly - funded, isn’t it?
Surprise, surprise.
Defund NPR.
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
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.)
