New Jobless Claims Rose to 480,000 … Recovery?

The Obama Administration might want to hold off on celebrating that their is a recovery occurring in the United States.  Not that we would not welcome good news on the jobs front, the fact of the matter is that with all the spending and supposed job creation from this White House, there is none. New jobless claims rose unexpectedly last week to 480,000 as layoffs continue.

Rut-Roh, Will US Lose Another 840,000 Jobs This Friday?

Let’s hope that the following does not come to fruition. Bloomberg is reporting that  the U.S. may lose 824,000 jobs when the government releases its annual revision to employment data on February 5, 2010.

The U.S. may lose 824,000 jobs when the government releases its annual revision to employment data on Feb. 5, showing the labor market was in worse shape during the recession than known at the time.

The potential revised job numbers are for the period of April 2008 to March 2009. You know what that means? If this report is correct, the Obama Administration will just blame GWB.

It would appear that not only the jobs numbers might have been manipulated , but could budget numbers been as well?

Arkansas Senate Election 2010: Rasmussen, Dem Blanche Lincoln Down Big to All Republican Challengers

Bye, Bye Blanche …

First came the PPP polling data on the Arkansas Senate race for 2010 and now comes Rasmussen’s devastating poll for incumbent Democrat Blanche Lincoln. Stick a fork in Blanche Lincoln, she is done …

According to the most recent Rasmussein poll Lincoln trails every Republican challenger, Hendren, Baker, Coleman, Cox, Boozeman badly. In every poll the Republican challenger gets over 50% of the vote while Blanche Lincoln only garners at best 35 to 36 percent. An incumbent only polling in the mid 30′s! Devastating. Add another to the list of Democrat candidates where Barack Obama is toxic.

Her GOP rivals, including Congressman John Boozman who is expected to enter the race on Saturday, all earn roughly 50% of the vote against the two-term Democrat.

But worse for Lincoln in the latest survey is that her numbers continue to fall. In September and December, her support was between 39% and 41% in these match-ups. Last month, it slipped to 38% or 39% support against any of four Republicans. Now, her support ranges from 33% to 36%.

No Shame: Obama’s White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel … “f—ing retarded!”

Obama Administration used the “R” word again …

Why does this White House continually have to apologize for their insensitive comments? How can they not think that it would be inappropriate from the outset?  First it was Barack Obama and now Rahm Emanuel finds himself in hot water after using slurs against mentally challenged Americans. Ok, he said … “f—ing retarded!”

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) called Monday evening for White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel’s firing over remarks he allegedly made about the intellectually disabled.

Palin, the mother of a child with Down’s Syndrome, called on President Barack Obama to end Emanuel’s tenure as chief of staff for having allegedly called participants in a strategy session “f—ing retarded.”

Sarah Palin called out Rahm Emanuel and demanded that Emanuel be fired on her Facebook page. The question is, what is going on with this Administration that begs everyone else to be civil, bi-partisan and cordial, while they act like a bunch of inconsiderate and evil spirited individuals?

Why is it ok for this Administration to make continued insulting and derogatory comments and slurs at others while their minions claim that all people who oppose Obama and his policies are racists?

It was not that ling ago when President Barack Hussein Obama went on The Tonight Show and thought it was cute and funny to make funny of the “Special Olympics”.It is obvious that this Administration did not mean the apology, not learned anything from the “teachable” moment.

Oops, He did it Again … Barack Obama Criticizes Blowing Cash in Las Vegas, Nevada

Oops he did it again folks and guess what … Barack Obama is not that innocent.

How is President Obama supposed to expect civility when he hardly practices it himself? Barack Obama is a “TOXIC” President. This President just does not know when to hold his tongue. It would appear like he has been taking lessons from Joe “gaffe” Biden.

In a Town Hall meeting in New Hampshire, President Barack Hussein Obama once again put his foot squarely in his mouth and said the following jab at Las Vegas, Nevada.

Bossom Buddies

That’s it Mr. President, tell people not to travel and vacation to Vegas, an area that is solely dependent upon tourism and corporate gatherings. Yet another brilliant plank in the Obama stimulus jobs plan. However, which was more ridiculous, attacking Las Vegas or telling Americans to tighten their belts and wallets while presenting the largest government spending bill in history? UNREAL!

Obama said that people should not “blow a bunch of cash in Vegas” during a tough recession. Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman called for Obama to apologize after he made comparable comments last February.

“When times are tough, you tighten your belts,” he said at the forum.” You don’t go buying a boat when you can barely pay your mortgage. You don’t blow a bunch of cash in Vegas when you’re trying to save for college.”
