Obama’s Hope & Change … US National Debt Hits Record High over $12 Trillion … Typical Tax & Spend Liberal

CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN … The US National Debt topped the $12 trillion mark yesterday. That’s 12 trillion with a “T”. It is another record high for the debt and another crowning jewel for Obamanomics.

This latest milestone in the ever-rising journey of the National Debt comes less than eight months after it hit $11 trillion for the first time. The latest high-point is not unexpected, considering the federal deficit for the just-ended 2009 fiscal year hit an all-time high at $1.42-trillion – more than triple the previous year’s record high.

Much of the increase in the deficit and debt is attributed to government spending outpacing revenue – both exacerbated by the recession and the government response to it – including hundreds of billions in bailouts and stimulus spending and tax cuts along with decreased tax revenues due to rising unemployment.

How is that “Hope & Change” looking now America? US National debt now at a record high over $12 trillion … that’s $38,974.34 for every man, woman and child in America.

After all his promises, after all his teleprompter speeches, after all his talk of change, Barack Hussein Obama is nothing more that a super-sized tax and spend liberal. Make that socialist.

GM Reports $1.2 Billion Loss for 3rd Qtr … This is Good News? What High Standards They Have

Hooray … Happy Days at GM … $1.2 billion loss for 3rd quarter.

GM, Government Motors, has great news … - General Motors Co. says it lost US$1.2 billion since it left bankruptcy protection. This is reported as good news. Can you imagine what a bad report would be? Can you imagine that a $1.2 billion loss is considered good and shows progress?

GM said its improved performance was fueled by new products including the Chevrolet Camaro muscle car, and the Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain midsize crossover vehicles. The company’s top sellers through October were the Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck and Impala full-size car.

Also, GM’s global presence helped the company, particularly in China, where its sales of 478,000 in the third quarter increased 6 percent over the second quarter.

The company cautioned that the earnings numbers mean little because they don’t comply with U.S. accounting standards and cover only the part of the quarter after GM left Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on July 10.

Even more unusual is the $79.4 billion profit the troubled automaker is reporting for the first nine days of the third quarter, when it remained under bankruptcy court protection but was able to scrap colossal amounts of debt and other obligations from its balance sheet.

Just a hunch, but I don’t think any one will be buying GM stock any time soon.

Liz Cheney on FNS: Whoever Leads GOP in 2012 They Will have to be Able to Undo a lot of the Damage that this President has Done

This morning on Fox News Sunday Liz Cheney spoke out and made some blunt and honest statements regarding the horrendous policies of Barack Obama. It is true, who ever leads the GOP in 2013 will have a plethora of fires to put out caused by the socialist agenda of Barack Obama.

It is only a matter of time though as the Gateway Pundit says before Liz Cheney feels what it means to be “Palinized” by the LEFT. Talking the truth against The Chosen One, Barack Obama means she will be branded an extremist, racist and marginalized.

“In terms of 2012, what ever Republicans takes the mantel of our Party in 2012. You know they’re going to have to be able to address these incredible grave challenges we face as a nation. In my view they will have to be able to undo a lot of the damage that this President has done to our national security, to our economy, to our health care system and to our standing around the world.” (Liz Cheney)

Imagine that Barack Obama … the next GOP President will be inheriting your mess. However, rest assured they will not be passing the buck at every opportunity and blaming the past President instead of pulling up their boot straps and taking responsibility to responsibly help “We the People.”

Barack Obama Losing the Independents Vote with his Radical LEFT Agenda … Change No One Wanted to Believe In

As Obama’s poll numbers sink, will The One shift right, or march himself, the Democrat Party and America over the cliff? What do the polls show? There is not one critical problem facing the country on which the president has positive ratings. How ya like that “CHANGE” now?

Barack Obama and Democrats are not in trouble in the polls and in the upcoming 2010 and 2012 elections because Republicans are strongly against Obama and his radical agenda. The Obamamessiah and the Democrat party find them self in trouble because INDEPENDENTS are running away from The One and Democrats as fast as they can. The far LEFT, socialist agenda of Obama is hardly what they voted for.

Barack Obama won the Independent vote 52% to 44% over McCain; however, Obama would be hard pressed to get any where near that Independent vote at the present. In the end, Obama by the numbers is poor all the way around.

The economy is the single most important issue to the American public, yet Obama’s answers have done nothing but drive up the federal deficits to record levels, increase unemployment to over 10% and promise nothing but future taxes. 45% of American voters rate Obama’s performance with the economy as poor.  Little by little, the longer Obama is in office, the more “We the People” do not want to hear that it’s GWB’s fault. Obama owns the economy and it is his to fix. That is why he became President. Ultimately, The buck stops with Obama and the childish blame game must come to an end. Man up, or get out.

The WSJ article suggests that with dipping poll numbers and an increasing unemployment number, that Obama would be wise to shift right. However, Obama continues to ignore the will of the people as he forces through his far left agenda in spite of slipping polls.

Outspoken Lou Dobbs to Leave CNN .. Could He be Heading to FOX News in the Foot Steps of Glenn Beck?

Lou Dobbs is taking his highest rated talk show and leaving CNN after 30 years at the network. This was only a matter of time as I thing many of us saw this coming. Did the Left force Dobbs out of CNN? If so they may have created a monster. Dobbs looks forward to new opportunities. Hmm …

CNN’s Lou Dobbs stepped down from his controversial role as an advocacy anchor at the network at the end of his show Wednesday night after announcing plans to seek a more activist role.

“Over the past six months, it has become increasingly clear that strong winds of change have begun buffeting this country and affecting all of us, and some leaders in media, politics and business have been urging me to go beyond the role here at CNN and to engage in constructive problem-solving as well as to contribute positively to a better understanding of the great issues of our day and to continue to do so in the most honest and direct language possible,” Dobbs said during his 7 p.m. broadcast.

Dobbs, 64, said he had discussed the issue with CNN President Jonathan Klein, who had agreed to a release from his contract “that will enable me to pursue new opportunities.”

New opportunities? You mean like heading to FOX News? So what will be in store for Dobbs future? NewsBusters asks the question whether Dobbs was forced out of CNN by liberal forces? If so, it might be just the worse thing that liberals ever did. LIBS, do not ask for things, they might come true. No one watches CNN anymore. However, if as speculated Dobbs lands on FOX News, he will become an instant ratings success much like when Beck left HLN and landed on FOX.

Hot Air seems to be asking similar questions and has the VIDEO of Dobbs’ farewell speech. What did Dobbs mean by the following: Some leaders in the media, politics and business have been urging me to go beyond my role here at CNN and engage in constructive problem-solving. However, if Dobbs heads to Fox ala Glenn Beck … one thing is for certain. He will be seen by more folks than had watched him on CNN. What is this larger role that Dobbs is referring to?

What Democrats Can Expect from Not Listening to We the People … Loss of Congress & Presidency to Republicans

2010 early election polls you can believe in …

DEMOCRATS … Do not say that you were not warned. The polling trend has begun, 2010 represents change we can all believe in as Obama and Democrats have completely misread and overstated their change mandate.

The One, could be One and Done in 2012 … 58% say next President likely Republican

Democrats in Congress and President Obama have not understood the common thread of the fire and anger expressed by “We the People” in town hall meetings and Tea Parties when it comes to taxes, deficits, spending and government take over. It is “We the People” that can hire you and “We the People” can FIRE YOU!

Just so that Barack Obama, Axelrod and the rest of Obama’s spin machine and minions understand what the 2009 year elections means … read it an weep. According to a recent Rasmussen Poll, 58% of American voter say it is at least somewhat likely the next president of the United States will be a Republican. Forgive me President Obama, but that 58% represents a greater mandate than what you were elected with in 2008. It would appear that “We the People” wish to make another change and it does not include you. Forget the fact that Republicans obviously overwhelmingly expect the next President to be Republican, it’s the 60% of unaffiliated voters that The Obamamessiah needs to concern himself with.

Sixty-six percent (66%) of men expect the next president to be a Republican, compared to 52% of women.

Eighty-five percent (85%) of Republicans see a member of their party winning the presidency as likely, including 57% who see it as very likely. Sixty percent (60%) of voters not affiliated with either major party think they’re right, but just 31% of Democrats agree.

Barack Obama finds himself with a Daily Presidential Tracking Poll of -10%. Basically, 40% of American voters strongly disapprove of Obama performing his role as President while only 30% strongly approve.

For those of you in Congress, especially the Blue Dog Democrats and other moderate Democrats who think you are in safe districts, 49% of US voters now say it is at least somewhat likely that Republicans will win control of Congress next year.  What a difference a year makes, eh? Last year after the 2008 elections the Republican party was all but dead and Democrats were dancing in the street. The election of Republican governors in Virginia and New Jersey, both states won easily by Obama in 2008 show that there is a shifting trend to Republicans and that no Democrat House or Senate seat is truly safe.

Why does anyone think that 39 Democrats sided with Republicans against Pelosicare? 31 of them represent districts that voted for John McCain over Barack Obama.

Seventy-three percent (73%) of Republicans think it is likely that their party will regain control of the Senate and the House. Just 55% of Democrats say it’s unlikely. Even more telling is that 31% of Republicans say it is very likely, compared to 12% of Democratic voters who rate it as not at all likely.

A plurality (49%) of voters not affiliated with either party see the GOP returning to the majority in Congress.

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 $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.

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?
