Hey, I think it's great that Michelle Obama is wearing $29 dresses from the GAP, but she could start dressing like Ma Joad to demonstrate solidarity with the unemployed and I still wouldn't believe she and her husband really "get" how bad the state of the economy is (let alone grasp the preshizzle's contributions to the problem).
She's WEARING $29 dresses; we PAID $2500 for them...
ReplyDeleteToo clever by half, too 'smart' for anyone's good.
ReplyDeleteHerman Cain knows how to create jobs, as do the other American entrepreneurs.
Meanwhile 40% of black teenagers, and many others, are unemployed, some wandering the streets causing trouble. Thank the 'smart' people.
My source for the 40% figure:

Take Obama.
ReplyDeletePLEASE.
If he wants to understand the plight of the unemployed I'd be glad to render him unemployed in the next election.
ReplyDeleteOn the matter of shovel-ready projects not being shovel-ready, I'd guess these clowns didn't see that as a problem. They were spending government money. Their Keynsian fantasies tell them that spending government money, it matters not on what, raises aggregate demand. Raising aggregate demand leads to an improved economy. An improved economy leads to more employment. So it doesn't matter what you spend it on, it all has the same effect. They have now discovered that their fantasy ideology isn't true.
ReplyDeleteWill they learn from this debacle, and perhaps adapt realistic economic ideas, like those of Ronald Reagan? No, government spending is their rice bowl, and they are too stupid to understand what they are seeing anyway. Mere facts do not interest them. I can just hear Obama saying "Don't bother me with a mass of petty istinas."
Roll on November 2012.
Reading about this at Hot Air after getting back from the grind this afternoon set my teeth on edge. I couldn't watch the clips—seeing PBO yucking it up about the non-existent shovel-ready jobs would have been too much.
ReplyDeleteI'm still not to the point where I can attribute evil intent to this administration. I want to believe that PBO and his advisors are just ignorant college professors that never lived in the real world and, as such, don't have a clue what to do. Of course, the overall result is still the same—an economy circling the drain and a dollar that is shrinking every day.
I can only hope that Boehner and McConnell will develop backbones of steel and stop this death spiral in its' tracks. That's not looking likely since Boehner has a play-date with The Won coming up.
Come one somebody, give me a reason for optimism....please....anything?
Zardoz: Let's see...Well, we survived Roosevelt and the New Deal...and Jimmy Carter. Sorry, that's all I've got.
ReplyDeleteWe got through a civil war, two world wars, plenty of fiscal panics, and a full-blown Depression. We'll get through this, but it's going to hurt. A lot.
ReplyDeleteObama's old buddy, William Ayres, must be laughing up his sleeve at the realization of his Marxist dream. We'll see how he feels when the peasants start showing up with pitchforks and .357s.
