OMG: CBS News: Gore divorce Bush's fault....

Posted By Jeffrey Counsil

What is on CBS news,
Family friend Sally Quinn told CBS News correspondent Sharyl Attkisson that Gore winning the popular vote for president but losing the electoral vote may have done the marriage irreparable harm.

"He's obviously suffered a lot," Quinn said. "He'll never get over that and neither will she."

Which reality do you live in?

Posted By Jeffrey Counsil

The first bunch of smoke and mirrors is just propaganda. Any "spike" is just that. Nothing sustainable because it was caused by temporary government jobs.
Also begs the question; What millions?????

The second is the reality. I know of more people now that have exhausted their unemployment benefits are are off the roles not even counted in the unemployment rates anymore.

But let's waste more money suing Arizona for helping to stop the welfare handout bleeding. And instead go ahead and hand out more welfare to illegals, and other countries for bailouts...

This one?

From Mike Allen's Playbook in The Politco:
"OBAMA, BIDEN DECLARE "RECOVERY SUMMER": Vice President Biden today will kick off "Recovery Summer," a six-week-long push designed to highlight the jobs accompanying a surge in stimulus-funded-projects... Biden will present President Obama with a report laying out a spike in stimulus activity this summer, and how it will contribute to a steady climb to a total of 3.5 million Recovery Act jobs by the end of the year...David Axelrod said: "Just over a year later, the Recovery Act is putting millions of Americans to work and helping the economy grow again."
http://www.politico.com/playbook/

Or this one?

From Associated Press:
(headline)"[SIZE="Large"]New claims for jobless benefits rise sharply[/SIZE]"
"The number of people filing new claims for jobless benefits jumped last week after three straight declines, another sign that the pace of layoffs has not slowed...Initial claims for jobless benefits rose by 12,000 to a seasonally adjusted 472,000...A lack of robust job growth has kept the recovery from gaining strength."

Daily Kos

Posted By Jeffrey Counsil

I've never heard Glenn Beck say anything even close to being that indignant. 8O
Plus, how many "halves" does it take to make a whole???? wink
The KOS has been quoted so many times as fact, when it is nothing but a twisted "opinion" of deranged people full of some deep-rooted hatred and contempt for this country. They're good at instilling hatred in others and it shows in just how many from the left will repeat the KOS verbatim.

But I would take that bet in your favor because MSNBC, Comedy Central, and others they watch also seem to have their "news source" be the KOS.

Mike Strieber said:

And the left bitches about Beck and Limbaugh? This from the left's cornerstone website:

"...America's military is not made up of our best and brightest, but of our sickest and most pathological criminals."

"Half frat boy, half eighth-grader, half murderer and all evil, McChrystal is a sad remnant of Donald Rumsfeld's dysfunctional Pentagon who should have been kicked out of the military in West Point rather than be allowed to slouch his way through a brutal career and find his way into the White House."

"Obama should sack McChrystal because McChrystal is a ruthless, bullying criminal with the emotional development of a 13-year-old skateboarder."

"But before he does that, he should insist the Secret Service strip search McChrystal on his way into the White House. Because you just can't trust this punk."

How much you wanna bet half the liberal "quitters" to this forum because the criticism of Obama was too much to take are getting their news from the Kos on a daily basis?

And this government is in charge of your HC

Posted By Jeffrey Counsil

Knowing this jerk-off of a president, he'll only waive the Jones Act *if* they employ Union workers with benefits. Just allow the darned thing in to start cleaning up! Then send BP the friggin bill. How simple can it be? Oh yeah, it's the government. A bunch of lawyers and politicians that have to figure out how much they can benefit first.. Hence the "study" that needs done first...

david elosser said:

A Taiwan-owned oil skimmer vessel, billed as the largest in the world, is on route to the Gulf to assist in the clean up. But our wonderful EPA will not allow the largest skimmer in the world to start skimming up oil. Why, you ask? Well, Environmental Protection Agency approval is required, because they are concerned of the environmental impact that some of the seawater returned to the Gulf would have traces of oil in it!

And this Obama government is in charge of your health care! God help you if you get sick.

Pumping Up the Exports

Posted By Jeffrey Counsil

Well Rod, just what is it that this country actually has to export? All I saw mentioned was pork and eggs, and they both with communists. And a lot of vagueness tossed in as a side dish. Besides, that's old "news" anyways. There is no viable manufacturing in this country to export with. The unions have made sure we cannot be "competitive".

Civil Rights Panel to Pursue "Justice" Dept. Probe

Posted By Jeffrey Counsil

The blatent voter intimidation tactics by the Obama admin are very clear. Not to carry a "deadly weapon" UNTIL the 2012 presidential elections?????? Then it's alright to beat and/or kill people at the polls???????? WAKE UP AMERICA!

The Bush Justice Department brought the first case against three members of the group, accusing them in a civil complaint of violating the Voter Rights Act. The Obama administration initially pursued the case, winning a default judgment in federal court in April 2009 when the Black Panther members did not appear in court. But then the administration moved to dismiss the charges the following month after getting one of the New Black Panther members to agree to not carry a "deadly weapon" near a polling place until 2012.

This is a fairly interesting article. I found the Fox reporter's interview style somewhat annoying, but the gentleman answered her questions well.

It's interesting that the Justice Dept. would not pursue the 'Black Panther' matter, but I guess Holder considers voter intimidation a 'one-way street'.

Considering that NASA is "reaching out" to Moslems, I guess this from the Justice Dept. shouldn't surprise anyone. Maybe Obama is living in the 'bizzaro' world.

Speaking of Moslems, I read recently that only about 10,000 books in the entire world have ever been translated in Arabic. 8O I never gave the matter any thought, but if true it certainly says something interesting about Islamic "culture".

The unsales tax

Posted By Jeffrey Counsil

It's penalizing the poor. If you cannot afford health insurance, you get a penalty for being poor. And if you don't "pay" it? Yeah, ya get thrown behind bars! Yeah, thanks progressive socialist commies for strong arming the unfortunate and putting the squeeze on. Freaking Al Capone Chicago gang control. But that is old news David. That was known for quite a while and those "representatives" knifed everyone in the back. Especially those that they Do NOT even represent!

david elosser said:

Image you go into a store to decide whether to buy solar panels for your home. You look at all the models available, listen to the salesman's pitch and decide not to buy one. But before you leave you must pay the store a tax for not buying one. Crazy? Rediculous? Insane? Preposterous? Outrageous? Well, welcome to the ObamaNation.

After 2014, if you do not purchase qualifying health insurance, you will be forced to pay a "penalty," which the Obama administration is now arguing before the courts that this is actually a "tax" and since Congress has the constitutional authority to levy taxes as is chooses under the commerce clause, the tax is completely constitutional. Okay democrats, you may think you have the constitutional power to tax us not to buy something, but we do have the power to kick you sons-of-bitches out of office in November and make sure you idiots stay out of power until your great grand-children grow up. Then we'll let your great grand-children decide whether or not to let you and your destructive liberal policies back in power.

GM goes subprime

Posted By Jeffrey Counsil

Yeah, this gives me a lot of confidence.. Reminds me of bankrupt Freddie and Fannie..

While the deal will help GM dealers sell more small, affordable cars to subprime customers, “it won’t be a blank check” to buyers because the U.S. government will be scrutinizing lending, she said.

So when the "too big to fail" GM goes belly-up again, what then???


david elosser said:

Government Motors just went subprime. That's right. They are about to spend 3.5 billion dollars of our money to purchase subprime lender AmeriCredit Corp. How wonderful.

"This helps GM finance less-than-perfect-credit buyers and God knows there’s plenty of them today with economic conditions as they are..." No kidding. Just when you thought the subprime lending was all over, as Ronald Reagan once described the Democrats, "well, there they go again." :S

"Adding AmeriCredit to our team will improve our competitiveness in auto financing offerings," Whitacre said in a statement. (For those of you who don't remember, Whitacre is GM's chief executive idiot that said in a TV commercial that GM paid back all of the money it owed the government.)
