Obama Approval Plummets on Jobs Plan Scam: Poll

Obama Approval Plummets on Jobs Plan: Poll A majority of Americans don’t believe President Barack Obama’s $447 billion jobs plan will help lower the unemployment rate, skepticism he must overcome as he presses Congress for action and positions himself for re- election. The downbeat assessment of the American Jobs Act reflects a growing and broad sense of dissatisfaction with the president. Americans disapprove of his handling of the economy by 62 percent to 33 percent, a Bloomberg National Poll conducted Sept. 9-12 shows. The disapproval number represents a nine point increase from six months ago. The president’s job approval rating also stands at the lowest of his ...
Obama tainted by loan guarantees to solar firms

One factor favoring President Obama's re-election, according to a recent article by political scientist Alan Lichtman, is the absence of scandal in his administration. Lichtman may have spoken too soon. The reason can be capsulized in a single word: Solyndra. That's the name of a company that manufactured solar panels in Fremont, Calif. (which voted 71 percent for Obama in 2008). Solyndra was the first company to receive a loan guarantee from the Department of Energy as part of the 2009 stimulus package. This wasn't small potatoes. The loan guarantee was for $535 million. It was, Vice President Biden said, "exactly what the Recovery Act was all about." Energy ...
TSA Creator Says Dismantle, Privatize the Agency

They’ve been accused of rampant thievery, spending billions of dollars like drunken sailors, groping children and little old ladies, and making everyone take off their shoes. But the real job of the tens of thousands of screeners at the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is to protect Americans from a terrorist attack. Yet a decade after the TSA was created following the September 11 attacks, the author of the legislation that established the massive agency grades its performance at “D-.” “The whole program has been hijacked by bureaucrats,” said Rep. John Mica (R. -Fla.), chairman of the House Transportation Committee. “It mushroomed into an ...
Labor Dept. Data: Only 1.75 Full-Time Private Sector Workers Per Social Security Recipient

There were only 1.75 full-time private-sector workers in the United States last year for each person receiving benefits from Social Security, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Social Security board of trustees. That means that for each husband and wife who worked full-time in the private sector last year there was a Social Security recipient somewhere in the country taking benefits from the federal government. Most state and local workers are part of the Social Security system and pay Social Security taxes; and, since 1984, all federal workers have been part of the system and pay Social Security taxes. However, unlike private sector workers who pay Social ...
Obama Seeks to End Tax Breaks to Pay for Jobs Plan [oBOMBa IDIOCY]

WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama would pay for his $447 billion jobs plan by ending a series of tax breaks for oil and gas companies, hedge-fund managers and people making more than $200,000, the White House said Monday. In total, Mr. Obama's plan would end about $467 billion of tax breaks over 10 years, said White House Office of Management and Budget Director Jack Lew. The president has previously proposed ending the tax breaks, but has faced stiff resistance from Republicans. President Obama holds a copy of the "American Jobs Act" he will send up to Congress for passage while standing next to Vice President Biden in the Rose Garden Monday. By choosing to end the ...

On this 10th anniversary of 9/11, I still feel great sadness for those who perished and their families, anger toward the terrorist thugs who murdered them, and anger toward those in our government who have shamelessly exploited the victims’ memory for their own nefarious ends. Considering this, the phrase “never forget” should apply to every aspect of remembering 9/11. We should never forget the victims, first and foremost. Their tragic loss was one of America’s greatest losses and they can never be replaced. Our prayers should go out to their families, today and every day. We should never forget that we will always have enemies in the world who want to harm us. ...

Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s humble origins and down home straight talk are central to his political identity, but for years Perry has enjoyed lavish perks and travel — mostly funded by a group of deep-pocketed supporters — that are allowed under his state’s lax ethics and campaign rules. Some of the same Texas donors who have funded Perry’s political rise also have footed the bills for Perry and his family to jet around the world, stay in luxury hotels and resorts, vacation in tony Colorado ski towns, attend all manner of sporting events and concerts, and to maintain, entertain — and even pay the cable bill — at the 4,600-square-foot mansion with a heated ...

Anthony Freda - "Liberty Groped" The weekend of the 10th Anniversary of 9/11, has caused many to reflect on the event itself, as well as the decade that we have experienced since. There have indeed been many casualties to recall. One of the saddest casualties is the First Amendment to the nation's founding document; it is effectively dead in 33 states according to a ACLU compilation of incident reports across America. A targeted program of surveillance and harassment has become fully centered on the population itself. This was first made evident in the 2009 MIAC report, which cited supporters of prominent political candidates like Ron Paul, as well as ...

Criminal Cartel Moves Forward With Printing $500 Billion In Funny Money

Thursday, a gang of violent thieves and drug lords decided to counterfeit an additional 500 billion US Dollars in order to prop up their criminal empire. The move undermines the savings and production of the American economy, while at the same time, it allows the gang to retain its strangle hold on the banking sector and drug trade. The move by the criminal organization to counterfeit the massive amount of money arises as an outgrowth of their various drug and racketeering schemes. The gang had previously invaded and replaced the government of Afghanistan with their own drug kingpins after the Taliban had shut down opium production in the country. Prior to the Taliban shutting down opium ...

The Obama Jobs Plan: 10 Reasons Why It Is A Bad Joke

So that was what we have been waiting for? That was what all the hype was about? With a little over a year until the next election, that was the "best shot" that Obama has for fixing the unemployment crisis in this country? The Obama Jobs Plan (also now known as "the American Jobs Act") is going to cost $447 billion and it is going to do next to nothing to create more jobs. Many Americans were hoping for something bold and new from Obama, but instead what they got was a bad joke. When Obama stated that there is "nothing radical in this bill", he was not kidding. Instead of addressing the fundamental issues that are causing job loss, Obama wants us to spend ...
Senate Approves $500 Billion Increase in Borrowing Authority.

The U.S. Senate, in an unusual procedure, cleared the way Thursday for the U.S. to lift its borrowing authority by $500 billion to $15.19 trillion, enough to keep the support federal government borrowing through late January or early February. The action came under an unusual legislative procedure spelled out under the August agreement to raise the U.S. debt ceiling and avoid a U.S. credit default. In a 52-45 vote, the Senate blocked an attempt by Republicans to slow down the process that will result in the $500 billion debt-ceiling increase. The increase stems from a deal between Congress and the White House, finalized last month, that spells out how the borrowing limit would be ...
Rand Paul seeks no-confidence vote on Treasury secretary (Turbo-Tax Timmy Geithner)

Sen. Rand Paul is calling for a vote of no confidence in Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner. The "tea party" champion on Wednesday introduced a resolution declaring that Congress and the American people have lost confidence in Geithner. Paul, a Republican from Kentucky, cited the Treasury secretary’s handling of the economy, the rising national debt and the Standard & Poor's downgrade of the nation’s credit rating. Paul’s resolution is an unusual and largely symbolic move. Unlike a similar vote in parliamentary systems, such a vote would not remove Geithner, but only express dissatisfaction with his job performance. “The current ...

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The Federal Reserve is ready to take new action to speed up the economy, Fed chief Ben Bernanke said Thursday, but warned that government budget-cutting could hold back growth. "The Federal Reserve has a range of tools that could be used to provide additional monetary stimulus," Bernanke said in a speech in Minneapolis. The members of the Fed's policy board, which meets on September 21-22, "are prepared to employ these tools as appropriate to promote a stronger economic recovery in a context of price stability," he said. Bernanke gave no indication of just what the central bank could do to stimulate the sluggish economy. Many analysts say that ...

NATIONAL CITY, Calif. -- National City has adopted a 10-month moratorium on new pawn shops, secondhand stores and precious metal dealers in the city after concerns about legal problems and crime. City leaders want to slow the increased interest in gold sales and purchases within city limits. As of Wednesday afternoon, gold was valued at $1,817 an ounce. "It has just skyrocketed on the number of businesses opening up," said National City Mayor Ron Morrison. "I mean, people out of their beauty salon or whatever else buying gold… it just becomes this huge deal." The "huge deal" came to light during Tuesday night's city council meeting where the ...

With the Federal Reserve widely expected later this month to unveil the latest weapon in its easing arsenal, expectations are ranging from Operation Twist, a variation called Operation Torque, and to a 50-year Treasury bond. Getty Images A 50-year bond? While the idea seems radical even for a central bank carrying a $2.8 trillion balance sheet, the idea of the Fed going that far out on the yield curve in a desire to stimulate the economy is drawing market chatter. The purpose of the bond would be to extend the duration of the Fed's otherwise short-term debt portfolio. In theory it would take the pressure off the central bank from having to roll over its debt on a continual basis. ...

The United States is negotiating one of the biggest free trade agreements in history and there is barely a peep about it on the news. Years ago, Ross Perot warned that if NAFTA was implemented there would be a "giant sucking sound" as millions of jobs left this country. It turns out that he was right. Starting on Tuesday, the next round of negotiations on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (also known as the "NAFTA of the Pacific") will begin in Chicago. We have already seen the Obama administration push hard for free trade agreements with Panama, South Korea and Colombia and the administration is making the Trans-Pacific Partnership a very high priority.

Green Pigs Don't Fly By Jeffrey Folks Reportedly, Obama's jobs speech will focus on infrastructure spending, and much of that spending will undoubtedly be tied to the creation of "green jobs." The problem is, what he has already spent has not created jobs. According to the Heritage Foundation, it may well have cost jobs. It has, however, enriched some of his wealthiest political contributors. And that seems to be the real motive behind the president's infrastructure spending. Not green jobs, but green pork. That appears to be the case with Obama's $535-million loan guarantees to Solyndra Inc. During a 2010 visit to Solyndra's plant in Fremont, California, ...

The Watermelon Regime's Pay-to-Play Way By Gary Jason The recent domino-like downfall of a slew of solar energy companies is shedding light on both the failure and corruption inherent in green politics. Most prominently in the news was the bankruptcy of Solyndra LLC, a Fremont, California-based manufacturer of solar panels. The company's demise meant the loss of 1,100 jobs. Solyndra said that it could not compete with overseas (read: Chinese) competitors and will therefore look to a sale of its business and the leasing out of key technology. What's hilarious -- unless you are a taxpayer! -- is that Solyndra was a pet of the Obama regime (the "Watermelon Regime" ...

Switzerland held onto the top spot for the third consecutive year in the annual ranking by the Geneva-based forum, which is best known for its exclusive meeting of luminaries in Davos, Switzerland, each January.

NaturalNews) As he campaigned for the presidency in 2007 and 2008, then Sen. Barack Obama made clear there would be no torturing of terrorism suspects on his watch, as had been done by the agency with White House and Justice Department approval during the Bush administration in the years following the 9/11 attacks. And as it turned out, one of the first things Obama did after becoming president was sign an executive order that included a ban on the torture of terror suspects. That was in 2009, shortly after becoming president. But with the campaign over, now came the bitter reality of actually having to govern. As president, one of the things Obama, the new commander-in-chief, was ...

What is the true legacy of 9/11? Unfortunately, it may be how the American people have responded to that event. 10 years after 9/11, is America a better place? Sadly, the answer clearly is no. In the ten years that have passed, a fundamental shift in our culture has occurred. The American people have eagerly given up large amounts of liberty and freedom in exchange for vague promises of increased security. We were once the land of the free and the home of the brave, but now we are the land of the scared and the home of the slave and we seem to like it that way. Most of us don't even remember how to act like Americans anymore. American culture has moved so far in the direction of ...
