Democrat Spin
How much are politicians straining to convince people that the government is stimulating the economy? In Oregon, where lawmakers are spending $176 million to supplement the federal stimulus, Democrats are taking credit for a remarkable feat: creating 3,236 new jobs in the program’s first three months.
But those jobs lasted on average only 35 hours, or about one work week. After that, those workers were effectively back unemployed, according to an Associated Press analysis of state spending and hiring data. By the state’s accounting, a job is a job, whether it lasts three hours, three days, three months, or a lifetime.
Awesome job Dems!

Support For Sgt Crowley

More Foot In Mouth For B.O.
Now from the Chicago Tribune…
A black police officer who was at Henry Louis Gates Jr.’s home when the black Harvard scholar was arrested says he fully supports how his white fellow officer handled the situation.
.
Full story here.
Seems the Great Barack has “acted stupidly” making an ass of himself by playing the race card. I’m sure a “heartfelt” apology will be occurring within days since the White House hasn’t been able to spin it’s way out of this one.
Poor Barack… Don’t they realize this is what should be expected when he steps away from the teleprompter (he sure can READ a good speech though!).

Here We Go…
The honeymoon is over folks, and Obama’s true colors are shining brightly now. We now know that “hope” = “socialism” and “change” = “more of the same”.
What do you call a person who, after admitting to not knowing the facts, insults a person of one race while siding with a person of another, based upon nothing more than skin color and prejudice?
Last I knew, that person would be a textbook example of a racist.
You people wanted him, you got him. Enjoy…
From Reuters:
President Barack Obama plunged his presidency into a charged racial debate and set off a firestorm with police officers nationwide by siding with a prominent black scholar who accuses police of racism.
Saying he was unaware of “all the facts” but that police in Cambridge, Massachusetts, “acted stupidly” in their arrest of Harvard’s Henry Louis Gates, Obama whipped up emotions on both sides of an issue that threatens to open old wounds.
“The President has alienated public safety officers across the country by his comments,” said David Holway, president of the International Brotherhood of Police Officers, which represents 15,000 public security officials.

Is Anyone Safe?
In the past 48 hours, President Obama has “fired” General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner, and has “decided” that bankruptcy is the best plan for GM.
Welcome to the ObamaNation, where the lines are blurred between federal government and private industry.
The feds are assuming greater power over YOUR life with each passing day. From salaries and company direction, to loan standards and your choice of doctors… This is just the beginning folks, it’s only been 70 days.

I’ve Got Gas
Mr President, I’ve noticed that retail gasoline prices have been climbing upward since you took office back in January.
Now, I know you don’t directly control the fuel prices, but since your disciples were quick to blame President Bush for that last run up, I assume that you must have some magical answer for the problem of these rising energy prices.
Can we have your input, sir?

Earmarks
Mr. President, why did you enact the $490 billion FY09 omnibus spending with its over 8,500 earmarks behind closed doors, despite campaign promises to end earmark abuse?
Double Talk

Saying A Lot About Nothing
So, in watching the first two (scripted) “news conferences” by our president, I’m now convinced that he has one answer.
No matter the question, and no matter the newspaper, radio, or television correspondent, there’s one answer:
The Dow Speaks
March 6th, 2009The Dow Speaks
Obama Isn’t Listening
Normally, the Dow Jones Industrial Average soars and average of close to 10 percent in the first year after a Democrat wins the presidency.
Not so with our current socialist president.
The Dow is a great litmus test of the future. If investors and businesses are confident of the path we’re on, investments flow and it’s represented in the Dow. How confident are businesses and investors in the ability of Obama and his liberal counterparts in Congress?
Well, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has fallen fast under President Obama than under any new president in over 90 years. So far, the Dow has dropped 31 percent since Election Day and 20 percent since Inauguration Day.
At the rate of spending under the Obama administration, there is little hope that we’ll recover within the next 20 to 30 years.
This country is so screwed…
