US UNEMPLOYMENT Hits 10.2% … How is that Stimulus Working now Obama & Biden?

US UNEMPLOYMENT is now at 10.2%

How is that Hope & Change that Obama promised you now, one year later? Are you better off today than you were one year ago? Don’t ask the millions of employees who lost their jobs. Unemployment hits a 26 year high. For the first time since 1983 unemployment is over 10%.

Nearly 16 million people can’t find jobs even though the worst recession since the Great Depression has apparently ended.

But the loss of jobs last month exceeded economists’ estimates. It’s the 22nd straight month the U.S. economy has shed jobs, the longest on records dating back 70 years.

Counting those who have settled for part-time jobs or stopped looking for work, the unemployment rate would be 17.5 percent, the highest on records dating from 1994.

With unemployment still rising in the United States, employers still cutting jobs and not hiring; the Democrat controlled Congress looks to pass Obamacare and Cap & Trade that will all but destroy the economy. What are these people thinking? Hey Baarck, where are those millions of jobs promised and unemployment holding at 8% if stimulus was passed? So what is this administration doing to create jobs other than blaming Bush?

Just a reminder to Obama and his minions, the exit polling in NJ and VA said that the economy is the number one issue.

US Bureau of Labor Statistics:

In October, the unemployment rate rose to 10.2 percent, the highest since April 1983, and nonfarm payroll employment continued to decline (-190,000). The largest job losses over the month were in construction, manufacturing, and retail trade.

On news of the poor job numbers, the stock market fell this morning. According to the Labor Department, U.S. unemployment rose by more than expected in October and employers cut more jobs than the so-called experts forecast. But, we were told that the recession was over?

Here is the damning poll for Barack Hussein Obama … the tide is turning and the trend has started to blame Obama for the bad economy, not GWB. 45% of voters now blame Obama for the bad economy and 49% blame Bush. However, for Obama that is up from 37% a month ago. Obama owns this economy and blaming other will not work any more. What will happen to The One’s poll numbers when a majority of people blame Obama for the now double digit unemployment?

Rush Limbaugh on Fox News Sunday … Barack Obama is the Man-Child President … Obama is Immature, Inexperienced & In Over his Head

Conservative Talk Show host blasts Barack Obama as being the “Man-Child President”. Rush states that Obama is immature and that he is a child.

“He has a five minute career. He was in the senate for 150 days. He was a community organizer in Chicago for however number of years.  He really has no experience running anything. He is very young. I think he has got an out of this world ego. I think he is very narcissistic. He’s able to focus all attention on him all the time.”

“He is immature, inexperienced and in over his head.”

Chris Wallace asks Rush, it has been one year since Barack Obama was elected President, what has be done for and to the country?

Rush’s answer is, it has been all to the Country, not for the country. This administration is trying to destroy the economy and it has to be on purpose. Denial on Liberty and attack on Freedom. Rush states that the country has lost 3.3 million jobs since Obama’s stimulus plan, yet Obama trumpets these so-called 650,000 saved or created jobs. It would be difficult at best to praise Obama’s efforts with the economy when 10% unemployment looms on the horizon.

Chris Wallace asks, what about Obama saving the country from financial abyss and the 3.5% growth in GDP. Rush aptly and correctly responds that this is a myth and that there was no growth. The 3.5% reported growth this past Friday was the equivalent of a Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme. Talk about government propped up financials.

Rush states, “there wasn’t any growth in the private sector. That 3.5% growth came from two things, government spending on cash for clunkers. They just moved fourth quarter auto sales into the third quarter. And the first time home buyer thing. There is no private sector growth. There were no new jobs created, we are losing them.”

Chris Wallace: How about kept the country safe for 9 months? Rush responded with a laugh and then stated, “I don’t know how safe we are … Iran is nuking up … We can’t make up out mind in Afghanistan, we are dithering there”.

Barack Obama Upset with “We the People” for his Excellent & Costly Adventure Date Night

Hey Barack, welcome to this little planet we like to call Earth.

Barack Obama is upset with “We the People” for criticizing the Obamamessiah for his Kingobama$74,000 date night to NYC with Michelle Obama. Can you imagine? This “whine” and brie President is upset that people, tax payers, were upset that he have date night while the masses go without. Barack, you work for the people … if you cannot devote pretty much 100% of your time to the people and act in the same manner as those that you say must do without, then you should resign.

President Barack Obama says only once since Jan. 20 has White House life annoyed him.

It was the Saturday in May when, trying to be a good husband, he kept a campaign promise to take his wife, Michelle, to New York after the election for one of their “date nights” - dinner and a Broadway play.

Does the President realize who paid for his date?

Mr. President, since January 20, 2009 the American people have been annoyed by the $787 billion stimulus bill that has created no jobs, record deficits, Obamacare, a lack of promised transparency, 10% unemployment, waffling on troops to Afghanistan and much much more.

Did the President not get the pre-election memo that said, Barack Obama, if you happen to win the 2008 Presidential election you will have pretty much no free time. You are expected to do the work of the people, especially during these trying times. While millions of Americans are losing shier jobs, their homes and their life savings, you are expected to not appear as if you and Michelle Obama are playing the roles of king and queen. However, the Obama’s attitude was “Let them Eat Cake.”

As the Gateway Pundit states, a mere $74,000 … just a typical night out on the town.

Cash for Clunkers Program Turns Out to be a Clunker … Tax Payers Pay $24,000 Per Car

The might have want to have called it “a lot of cash for clunkers.” Tax  payers paid a total of $24,000 per clunker sold. 

Turns out that the much ballyhooed Obama government cash give away program “Cash for Clunkers” was a real clunker. Under the redistribution of wealth subsidy program, a total of 690K new vehicles were sold; however, according to the automotive web site Edmunds.com only 125K of those were vehicles that would not have been sold anyway. So not only did foreign car makers make a mint off the “Clunkers” program, tax payers paid about $24K per vehicle. What a bargain. We can hardly wait to see how the government will handle health care.

Cash_for_Clunker_5

Making matters worse, a fabricated incentive car buying plan contributed heavily to the US economy’s 3red quarter expansion. Of the 3.5% increase, 1.7% came from car sales. Of course what percentage of the remaining 1.8% increase was from the government subsidy first time home buyers tax break? However, that is another post for another time.

However, here is some food for thought, what is going to happen to the auto sales in the future when some 125K individuals just pushed up the date they would have purchased a vehicle and only artificially enhanced this quarters economic numbers? Also, out of the people who bought cars, how many did so because of the $4000 rebate and may not be able to pay the car loans? Sounds a bit similar to the mortgage crisis that go us into this mess in the first place. Can we look forward in the future to a bail out of the cash for clunkers participants?

Democrat Alan Grayson Calls Female Officials “Whores” … Obama Praises Him … Now the Unapology

Looks like Democrat Rep Alan Grayson does not want the “Whore” vote.

How ironic is it that a politician call anyone a whore? This might as well been the joke of the week.

Democrat Neanderthal Alan Grayson is at it again. First he said that Republicans wanted Americans to die quickly. Now it would appear that Grayson is calling female officials “whores”. The individual that Grayson is referring to is Linda Robertson, an adviser to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, a “K Street whore” in a month-old radio interview that circulated on Capitol Hill Monday night.

Listen to the comments HERE.

This K Street whore is trying to teach me about economic

But wait, it gets better. As the Gateway Pundit points out, even after Grayson made such comments that Republicans wanted Americans to die quickly, with regards to the GOP, “They probably wish that there was a Nobel Prize for fear, a Nobel prize for hatred, a Nobel prize for racism” and compared the GOP health care plan to the Holocaust and 9-11. Hot Air has Obama’s outstanding US Rep as well.

After all this, and with the “whore” comment to boot … President Barack Obama praises Alan Grayson. How many Presidents do you know have done this? I am sensing a 2012 President campaign ad in the making.

In the end Grayson stands by his comments and has his spokesperson parse words stating that the attack of on her professionally, not personally. Oh, Mr. Neanderthal like that makes a difference. One could say the same when Joe Wilson said that Obama lied. He was not attacking him personally, he was attacking the Obamacare policy.

An Inconvenient Poll: Al Gore, Looks Like American’s Think the Earth is Losing Its Fever … Global Warming Down 20 Points in 3 Years

An Inconvenient Poll: Belief in global warming down 20 points in 3 years …

Is Al Gore getting the cold shoulder on Global warming? In a recent Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, only 57% of Americans think there is solid evidence that the world is getting warmer. The belief that man is responsible for Al “the earth has a fever” Gore’s global warming has also fallen. That is down 20% points in 3 years and down 14% from just last year.

Glogal_warming_pew_102209

Pew Research Center

Americans are beginning to get educated on the so-called science of global warming. They are no longer believing Gore hook, line and sinker. The more America becomes informed, the more they turn away from the global warming propaganda.

In a poll of 1,500 adults by the Pew Research Center for the People&the Press, released Thursday, the number of people saying there is strong scientific evidence that the Earth has gotten warmer over the past few decades is down from 71 percent in April of last year and from 77 percent when Pew started asking the question in 2006. The number of people who see the situation as a serious problem also has declined.

The steepest drop has occurred during the past year, as Congress and the Obama administration have taken steps to control heat-trapping emissions for the first time and international negotiations for a new treaty to slow global warming have been under way. At the same time, there has been mounting scientific evidence of climate change — from melting ice caps to the world’s oceans hitting the highest monthly recorded temperatures this summer.

Since 2006, across every party line including Democrats the belief that there is evidence that global warming exists has gone down drastically. Democrats has seen a drop of -16%, Republicans -24 and Independents -26%.

Global_warming_PEW_Ind_102209

This is rather poor timing on the part of Barack Obama and Democrats as they try try to ram “cap & tax” down the throats of Americans. In the present political and economic climate, pardon the pun, their is hardly the appetite for such measures.  All this while the global warming folks are set to meet at the Copenhagen summit in December. While misguided environmental extremists look to destroy Americas economy in the midst of a recession, Q and O points out that developing countries like India are not willing to sacrifice development for climate change as they tell everyone, suck it.

New Weekly Jobless Claims Rise by 11,000 from Previous Week to 531,000 … 10% Unemployment cannot be Far Away

More signs that the economy is getting better as per the Obama Administration. Hey Barack Obama, your stimulus bill just lost another 11,000 jobs. The US did not lose 520,000 jobs this week, we lost 531,000! Every state except North Dakota has lost jobs since the stimulus plan was enacted.

This most recent weekly addition of the subtraction of 11,000 jobs should continue to weigh down Obama’s approval ratings. Wait until unemployment hits the magic number of 10% and see what happens to The One’s approval ratings and this administrations spin that the economy is getting better. Americans have stated that job creating should be the President’s number one goal. These numbers are going to leave a mark.

The number of newly laid-off workers filing claims for jobless benefits rose more than expected last week, after falling in five of the past six weeks.

Record Deficits for Fiscal Year 2009: $1.42 Trillion … More than Triple the Record Set Last Year … BTW, Where are the Jobs?

More Obama “Hope and Change” you can believe in … Record Deficits and no Jobs!

The numbers are in and the Obama Administration has just released (on Friday of course) the latest deficit numbers. OUCH! The deficit for Fiscal Year 2009 comes in at a record $1.4 trillion. This record is more than triple from the record set just last year.

Obama_debt_star2

It gets better, or worse as the case may be. Obama is currently projecting a total of $9.1 trillion in the coming decade.  All this and Obama claims that Obamacare is deficit neutral. Do you really believe that America? Interestingly enough, Harry Reid did not seem to think so.  Red State nails it, we have finally found something bigger that Obama’s ego … the budget deficit.

The Obama administration has released new deficit numbers, and they are not pretty.

The deficit for Fiscal Year 2009, which ended Sept. 30, came in at a record $1.42 trillion, more than triple the record set just last year.

In addition, future deficits are currently projected to total $9.1 trillion in the coming decade.

How much can the American tax payer and the future generations take? Wait until Obamacare, cap and tax and the rest of Obama’s socialist agenda are added to the mix. By the Way Barack, what ever happened to the jobs you promised from the $787 billion stimulus plan?

 Obama stated: “We have now lost 1.2 million jobs this year and if we don’t act swiftly and boldly most experts know believe that we could lose millions of jobs next year.” [Mr President, we did lose more jobs this year and your promise of 2.5 million jobs is a idle promise.

From the Gateway Pundit comes the following Obama promise reminder:

Last November Barack Obama promised to “create or save” 2,500,000 jobs with the record stimulus package he was planning to pass as president. He promised 2,500,000 million jobs…

But so far the democrats record “stimulus” package has only stimulated the economy enough to create only 30,000.

Wait, the exact number from The Hill is that data published Thursday showed contracts from the $787 billion economic stimulus created or saved 30,083 jobs.

American Buyers Remorse: 43% of Voters Say they Would Reelect Barack Obama in 2012

Hope & Change: Barack Obama, here is some job approval polling you can believe in …

You’ve come a long way baby in such a short period of time. Barack Obama won the 2008 Obama_GatesPresidential election over John McCain by a 53% to 46% margin. Flash forward to less than one year into Obama’s presidency and in a recent poll only 43% stated that they would reelect The One in 2012. Obama’s actual job approval rating has also fallen to 49%.

It would appear that Obama’s policies and the handling of the economy, health care and Iran have come home to roost as his popularity no longer rules the day.

In what may be the ultimate job rating, 43 percent of voters say that they would vote to re-elect President Obama if the 2012 election were held today, down from 52 percent six months ago, from April 22-23, 2009.

Obama’s job approval rating comes in at 49 percent this week. That’s down just one percentage point from late September, but it marks a new low approval for the president — and the first time the Fox News poll has measured his approval below 50 percent.

Can you say voters buyers remorse! This is not only bad news for Obama, it’s bad news for all Democrat candidates running in elections in 2009 and the midterms in 2010.

OUTRAGE: What Do You Mean that Barack Hussein Obama did not win the Nobel Prize for Economics

WHAT DO YOU MEAN OBAMA DID NOT WIN THE NOBEL PRIZE FOR ECONOMICS!!!

The Nobel Prize was awarded for economics and the winner was a shocker! The prize did not go to President Barack Hussein Obama. Americans Elinor Ostrom and Obama_socialistOliver Williamson won the Nobel Prize for economics for work on how community institutions can prevent conflict. What? We demand a recount! I mean come on, Barack Obama deserved to win the Nobel Prize for Economics just as much as he did for the Nobel Peace Prize.

How could Ostrom and Williamson beat The One?  Barack Obama or at least TimTurbo Tax Geithner should have won for the tremendous work that they have done with the $787 stimulus pork barrel package that has yet to create the jobs they claimed, the 9.8% US unemployment and federal deficits for as far as generations to come can see. What better economic policy could there be than to raise taxes and deficits in the teeth of a recession. Hey after all, “Cash for Clunkers” did make money for Asian auto makers.

Barack Obama was heard to say that he was surprised that he did not win the Nobel Prize for economics as he had spent 11 days in office as President putting the United States in debt up to it’s eyeballs and had thought about transforming the capitalist economy of the US to a socialist one for years. I thought the Nobel Prize rewarded socialism and weakening the United States. Maybe I should have weakened the US dollar some more? Obama was then heard to say … well there is always next year’s award.

Gasps came from the crowd as the Nobel Prize for economics was awarded to the two Americans. Oops, that’s right.The gasps came from the onlookers when an undeserving Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. Obama already had his Economic prize winning speech ready:

Obama_heisman

“Let me be clear: I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations,” he said at the White House. “To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who’ve been honored by this prize.

Obama looks forward to the Major League Baseball, NBA and NFL’s MVP voting. And of course the Heisman.
