My folks used to tell me about Olieole or something like that (I’m totally guessing at the spelling). Before my time, but I heard it was aweful.

The liberal, pro-Obama Los Angeles Times has been doing a series of stories on the unemployment crisis. It's called “America Out of Work”, and it covers the situations of all sorts of people, including minorities.

Here's a sample:

60 Minutes is always the #1 show on Sunday night. It was #1 last week over Sunday Night Football with about 15 million viewers, another 7 million on DVR, and another 3 million views on the net. So on average about 25 million watch it and you know the majority of those are not people like us.

“...people living on couches who worked in Silicon Valley...”

Their jobs were moved to India by the Elitist Leftists who run the Silicon Valley companies.

I think it was called Oleo.

Procter and Gamble came out with a budget (low end) Tide. They quickly killed it because it was killing regular Tide.

Americans brought this on themselves by watching TV that is controlled by Dems/Libs/elites/Islamics. Fox is only marginally better and is not our friend.

ALL of TV and ALL of Hollywood is s**t.

A few million people with nothing to lose is a fearsome force. They have lost their jobs, they have lost their houses. Take the remainder, and the country burns.

Um... how about if we just burn down the Democrats houses and leave us Conservatives alone? They did this to us and they need to pay...

That's true, but they think they can have the jobs without actually doing the work. Some of them actually think people who have jobs do nothing to hold them and get paid anyway.

The electronics dept manager at the Walmart in Pocatello remarked that lots of people want jobs. The problem is, they don't want to work. They think just showing up entitles them to a pay check. When they discover that they are expected to work, they leave.

Did you write the Barbara Boxer commercial slamming Carly Fiorina for her staff reductions at HP?

Liberal Politicians are responsible for Millions of Job losses, not just Thousands. Business decisions are made because of changes in the Economy, Market Competition and Government Mandates.

I tell people here every day that if we yank the plug and kill TV - we might get our country back.

And no Fox is no better. ALL TV and ALL Hollywood hates us. They are evil scum.

Was Obama just a tool to do Hillary’s dirty work so she can be installed afterwards????????

I called this months ago. The Clintons have the dirt on Soetoro; I don't doubt it in the least. We'll never know this, but, I speculate that a deal was made between the Clintons and Soetoro: Hillary! wouldn't challenge Soetoro's primary "victories", and Obama would be the nominee (and presumptive winner after 8 years of GWB). Throw in Joe "Where's my brain?" Biden as a lame duck VP and that leads to:

Obama gets health care passed (using methods the Clintons either didn't think of or dare try back then) and essentially loses any hope in getting re-elected in doing it. So health care gets passed, ~18 years after the Clintons failed to do it. Which leads to:

The Rats get blown out next week. Hillary! as SOS resigns (so she has, at least in theory, experience in both domestic and foreign affairs) and starts readying for a 2012 run. Soetoro (and Biden) bow out for a 2012 run as Soetoro blames the racist core of America and the Tea Party specifically as the reason he won't run again, and "enthusiastically" backs Hillary!, in an attempt to keep the blacks from revolting against the party. Which leads to:

Can Hillary! win in 2012? Well, Bill ran successfully against a GOP Congress in 1996, so it comes down to how stupid the typical American voter is. Based on Clinton getting elected twice (albeit with less than 50% of the vote) and Soetoro getting elected in 2008, the stupidity level is high. And yes, she could very well win, as people will look at the 1995-2000 time period as blissful, with a GOP Congress and Rat president named "Clinton". I can hear the Fleetwood Mac tunes warming up.

Thoughts? Comments?

(Vanity) The Gospel of Matthews Chapter 5:1-20, or, The Barackitudes

1 When Hussein saw the crowds, he went up to the podium; and after he sat down, his disciples in the press came to him.

2 Then he began to speak, and did teach them, saying:

3 ‘Blessed are the working families, for theirs are the 95% tax cuts.

4 ‘Blessed are those who were ashamed of their country, for they will be comforted.

5 ‘Blessed are the Unions, for they will inherit the earth.

6 ‘Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for stimulus, for they will be filled.

7 ‘Blessed are the tax evaders, for they will receive mercy and a Cabinet position.

8 ‘Blessed are the bleeding of heart, for they will see God.

9 ‘Blessed are the terrorists, for they will be released from Gitmo.

10 ‘Blessed are those who are persecuted for Islam’s sake, for I shall stand with them, should the political winds blow that way.

11 ‘Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.

12 'Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in Washington, for in the same way those in Talk Radio persecuted the Democrats who were before you.

13 ‘You are the acorns of the earth; but if an acorn has lost its nuts, how can its nuttiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot.

14 ‘You are the light of the world. The light of the press cannot be hidden.

15 'No one after lighting a joint puts it under the bushel basket, but instead passes it to their friends, and it gives peace and understanding to all in the house.

16 'In the same way, help my light shine before others, so that they may see my good works and give glory to our Fellow Progressives.

17 ‘Do not think that I have come to abolish the law, the New Deal, or Civil Rights; I have come not to abolish but to fulfil.

18 'For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter, not one stroke of a letter, will pass from the law unless I command. I won.

19 'Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these regulations, and teaches others to do the same, will be called least in the kingdom of Washington, and he will be assigned a place with the Republicans; but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of Washington.

20 'For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the Reids and Pelosis, you will never enter the kingdom of Washington.

Cheers!

“Between the federal land, mineral rights, water and Fannie/Freddie or other mortgages, should the globalists call the US debt, we’re on our own.”

BS. Use the 10th Amendment and the states and National Guard grab it before anything. F the federal govt and the islamist.

Folks put down the beers and turn off the dumb games and yank the TV out of the wall. Time to wake up.

Americans did this to themselves. Idiots watching TV.

So many Americans out of work an there are millions of Indians over here on H1Bs doing work that Americans don’t want to do. We prefer to pick trash I guess.

Here in Phoenix I sit in a room that has at least 100 Indian programmers to 20 Americans.
