Barack Obama Says, “More jobs in jobless benefits than Keystone XL Pipeline” … HUH?
Welcome to Obama in Wonderland … we are truly in an alternate universe when unemployment benefits creates more jobs than a work project intended to create jobs.
English might have been George W. Bush’s second language; however, it has become obvious the economics is not even in Obama’s top 10 disciplines. While trying to play the martyr, Barack Obama said that he will delay his vacation and keep Congress in session until the passage of his desired payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits extension. Then Obama said the unbelievable … that the payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits extension would create more jobs than the Keystone pipeline. WHAT?
As Obama called for passage of those bills, he also responded to a recent Republican push to require him to approve the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada. “However many jobs might be generated by a Keystone pipeline,” he said, “they’re going to be a lot fewer than the jobs that are created by extending the payroll tax cut and extending unemployment insurance.”
Just curious, did this guy actually graduate college? If so, he certainly never took an economics course. Just curious, how does extending unemployment benefits create jobs? How do payroll tax cuts create them either? Is Obama just plain ignorant or does he actually believe the BS he is peddling? Ok, glad to see that I am not the only one who is scratching their head on this idiotic comment by Obama. As the Lonely Conservative opines, how is it that unemployment benefits create more jobs than a project actually intended to create jobs?
Is he insane? Unemployment benefits will create more jobs than a project that actually creates tens of thousands of jobs? Heck, the project would help offset the payroll tax cut he’s pushing for, seeing that 20,000 or more people would start paying income taxes, not to mention the other revenue the project would generate for the government. I guess he’d prefer to see those jobs go to China.
It sure would be nice to have a president with an inkling about how jobs and wealth are created.
This guy has got to go before he does so much damage that it cannot be undone. Never has a President needed to be voted out of office as Obama, since the misery index years of Jimmy Carter.

Barack Obama, It is Great to be Back in Texas, eh … Kansas … Idiot Moment, Job Losses Blamed on Technology
Barack Obama … further Lost in Smallness …
Barack Obama, ever wonder how dangerous one man could be? Obama wants us to go back to the days before computers, ATM’s and smart phones. Obama will not be happy until everyone is working as a bank teller or a telephone switchboard operator. No one should ever wonder why the economy is in the state it is … Obama is clueless, worse, he is dangerous.
As reported at Powerline, while campaigning in Kansas yesterday, “President Obama momentarily forgot which of the 57 states he was in.” More from the smartest President ever …
This was supposed to be a joke of sorts and slip of the tongue. Sorry Barack, we forgot to laugh. We the People tend to do this when the economy is in the tank and millions are without jobs. The real 99% can’t go on 17 day vacations to Hawaii.
However, that was not the eye opener that made America scratch their collective head. The “WTF” moment of complete ignorance came from Obama when he blamed job losses on technology. Huh? I guess Obama blames Al Gore, who claims to have invented the Internet, responsible for job loss.
“Layoffs too often became permanent, not part of the business cycle. And these changes didn’t just affect blue collar workers. If you were a bank teller or a phone operator or a travel agent, you saw many in your profession replaced by ATMs and the internet,” President Obama said at a campaign event in Kansas.
What king of complete and total bufoon is this guy? Seriously, and the Left called Bush stupid? Has Obama no understanding that making things more efficient that the economy becomes more productive? Does Obama not comprehend how many jobs have been created by the Internet? Does he them also blame Bill Gates and the late Steve Jobs for technology innovation? Are they to blame as well for the loss of jobs. How ignorant could one person really be? In this case because the individual is the president of the United Stated, how dangerous could one man possibly be?
Please rid the United States of this President in 2012 and help get America back to success and prosperity.

Another Campagn Lie … NY Times Reports Obama Campaign Bundlers Have Ties To Lobbying
Another “Hope & Change” Obama campaign promise goes bye, bye … Hey America, how’s that “Hopey-Changey” thing working out for you?
Remember when candidate Barack Obama said he was going to change the culture of Washington, DC and that there would be no lobbyists in his White House or that he would take money from lobbyists? The NY Times is reporting that President Barack Obama has at least 15 “bundlers” who contribute their own money to his campaign and solicit it from others that are involved in lobbying for Washington consulting shops or private companies.
Despite a pledge not to take money from lobbyists, President Obama has relied on prominent supporters who are active in the lobbying industry to raise millions of dollars for his re-election bid.
At least 15 of Mr. Obama’s “bundlers” — supporters who contribute their own money to his campaign and solicit it from others — are involved in lobbying for Washington consulting shops or private companies. They have raised more than $5 million so far for the campaign.
Because the bundlers are not registered as lobbyists with the Senate, the Obama campaign has managed to avoid running afoul of its self-imposed ban on taking money from lobbyists.
As SC Representative would say, “You Lie!” Also, as Weasel Zippers reminds us, how bad and blatant a situation must this be if the New York Times is blowing the whistle on Obama? 3 … 2 … 1, the political ad is already in the can.

Generic GOP Candidate Leads President Barack Obama 46% to 38%
Barack Obama continues to trail against an unnamed Republican candidate.
According to the most recent Gallup Poll, a Generic Republican candidate leads President Barack Obama 46% to 38% among registered voters. No matter how one looks at this polling, the fact that only 38% would vote for Obama as opposed to any GOP challenger in the 2012 election must cause concern for Team Obama. As Hot Air opines, all the Republican party has to do is nominate a Republican candidate with plain wrapping and a blue stripe.
U.S. registered voters, by 46% to 38%, continue to say they are more likely to vote for the Republican presidential candidate than for Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election. The generic Republican led by the same eight-percentage-point margin in September, and also held a lead in July. The August update, conducted just after an agreement to raise the federal debt limit, had Obama with a slight edge.
Is this a guarantee that the GOP nominee will defeat Barack Obama in 2012, no. However, the fact that an incumbent President is polling at 38% against an unnamed challenger should send chills through the reelect Obama minions. According to recent Rasmussen polls Obama narrowly leads Romney and Cain; however, when an incumbent President has a job approval rating of 43% and under the magical 50% … its time to be concerned that you provided America with no hope and they want change.

Obama Billboard … Please Vote for Someone Else in 2012 to Prove You’re not an Idiot … Thank you
Hope & Change … Hoping to change those proving they were not racists in 2008, to those proving they are not idiots in 2012.
The following billboard in Athens, Alabama says it all. Come on America, in honor of Obama’s constant golf outing, you are being given a Mulligan in 2012. Do the right thing for America and vote Obama out of office. With a job approval average of 42.8%, Obama is in deep trouble in 2012.
Pic Hat Tip: WHNT News 19 via Gateway Pundit
The corner of Capshaw and East Limestone Road hardly qualifies as a bustling intersection, but a nearby billboard has been getting the area attention.
The billboard reads, “If you voted for our current president in 2008 to prove you weren’t a racist, please vote for someone else in 2012 to prove you’re not an idiot. Thank you . . . Concerned Citizens of America.”
However one local resident Lee Daniels likes 9.1% unemployment, record number of Americans on food stamps and tens of millions of Americans on unemployment … “To make the statement that a vote for 2012 to prove you’re not an idiot, well that was saying, in my opinion, that whoever voted for him in ’08 was an idiot, and that’s just really inflammatory.”
Note to Lee Daniels, it’s not inflammatory … it’s a fact.
- $787 billion stimulus failure
- Obamacare failure
- 9.1% unemployment
- Record number of Americans on food stamps
- Out of control national debt
- 16.7% black unemployment
