Happy Anniversary Barack Obama … Two Years Ago Today Obama Celebrates Solyndra … “The true engine of economic growth will always be companies like Solyndra.” … Too Bad It’s Bankrupt

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO BARRACK OBAMA AND SOLYNDRA …

Today is the two year anniversary of President Barack Obama traveling to Freemont, CA and touting the green energy company Solyndra as a “brighter and more prosperous future”. One has to look no further as to why the US economy and job growth is in the crapper than to listen to Obama’s words of praise regarding Solyndra, ”The true engine of economic growth will always be companies like Solyndra.” Really? Obama’s shining example of “green” energy and the future did not take long to go bankrupt.

But on this day in 2010, with Solyndra already facing serious obstacles, President Obama was filled with optimism. “The true engine of economic growth will always be companies like Solyndra,” the president said.  “Less than a year ago, we were standing on what was an empty lot.  But through the Recovery Act, this company received a loan to expand its operations.  This new factory is the result of those loans.”

“We’ve placed a big emphasis on clean energy,” Obama continued.  “It’s the right thing to do for our environment, it’s the right thing to do for our national security, but it’s also the right thing to do for our economy…When it’s completed in a few months, Solyndra expects to hire a thousand workers to manufacture solar panels and sell them across America and around the world.”

Hey Barack, how is that Solyndra-greeny thing working out for you today? We have no jobs, but we got solar panel toxic waste.

It is rather comical and disingenuous that Obama and his minions attack Mitt Romney for his days at Bain Capital and failures of Bain when Obama has a laundry list of failed green energy companies on his record. Does Barack Obama really want to compare his failed “public equity” financing record versus Mitt Romney’s private equity record?

More Records for Obama & Obamanomics: Record Low for High School Student Jobs and Record High for Those Working Past Age 65

Hey America, Three plus years into the Obama Presidency, How’s that “Hopey-Changey” thing working out for ya? More records for Obama and jobs … 

Parents, are you finding it difficult for your high school kids to get summer jobs? You are not alone. Thanks to the Barack Obama job recovery we can add two more records to his list of accomplishments, the young workers are getting squeezed out of the market because positions are being filled by older workers. Making matters worse, the elderly cannot afford to retire. As reported at the Washington Times, according to the National Center for Education Statistics the high school job market has hit its lowest level in 20 years. The jobs once held by young high school kids are now being taken by those older than them who have been forced to take lesser positions thanks to the so-called Obama job recovery. A meager 16% of high school age kids are now employed as opposed to 32% in 1990.

The American job market is no place for students as the number of employed high schoolers has hit its lowest level in more than 20 years, according to new figures from the National Center for Education Statistics.

In 1990, 32 percent of high school students held jobs, versus just 16 percent now. Blame their elders.

Sectors that traditionally have offered teens their first paying gig — fast-food chains, movie theaters, malls and big-box retailers — have now become the last resorts for out-of-work college graduates or older Americans forced back into the labor force out of sheer financial necessity. The resulting squeeze has left students on the outside looking in.

Another Obama Record … Under Barack Obama, 30 Worst Months of Employment in the Past 25 Years

OBAMANOMICS: WOW, yet another record for President Barack Obama to be proud of …

From The Weekly Standard comes Barack Obama’s dismal record on employment and job recover … Obama has 30 of the worst employment months in the past 25 years. Ever wonder why Obama wants to distract from his terrible record over the past 4 years? Look no further than the fact that the 30, or 32, including ties, worst months for employment in the past 25 years have all come after the most recent recession ended, in June 2009 in the time during the Obama “recovery.”

The federal government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes monthly tallies for the employment-population ratio.  That stat shows something rather straightforward:  Among those who are living in America and are free to pursue employment, what percentage are employed?  (The bureau excludes those who are under 16 years old, are active-duty military, or are — in the bureau’s own words — “inmates of institutions (for example, penal and mental facilities, homes for the aged),” from its tallies.)

Over the past quarter of a century (a total of 300 months), dating back to May 1987 and the Reagan administration, here are the 30 worst months (that is, the bottom 10 percent) for the employment-population ratio, along with the president who happened to be in office at that particular time (scroll down to the see the list):

A record number of Americans are no longer in the workforce under Obama, another record to be proud of.

Really America … do you honestly think that Obama deserves reelection? He cannot blame this one on Bush, these disastrous employment months came during the Obama job recovery period.

ABC/WAPO Poll Uses Questionable Sample to Have Obama Lead Romney 49% to 46% … Under Samples GOP by 10% … NBC/WSJ Skewed Sample as Well

All polls are not created equal … in fact some are just plain disingenuous. 

The most recent ABC/Washington Post poll has President Barack Obama ahead of GOP challenger Mitt Romney, 49% to 46%. Good news for Obama, right? Well, if you like faux polls it is. When will the liberal MSM ever learn that falsifying poll results serves no purpose on election day? The WAPO goes on to say that Obama and Romney are in a dead heat on the economy, Really?

The parity on economic issues foreshadows what probably will continue to be a tough and negative campaign. Overall, voters would be split 49 percent for Obama and 46 percent for Romney if the November election were held now. On handling the economy, they are tied at 47 percent.

Despite flare-ups over issues including contraception and same-sex marriage, more than half of all Americans cite the economy as the one concern that will decide their vote in the fall, relegating others — such as health care, taxes and the federal deficit — to single-digit status.

Voters are evenly divided between Obama and Romney on the question of who could kick-start the economy and also are split on job creation, with 46 percent siding with the president and 45 percent with Romney.

OK, let’s go inside the sampling polling numbers. The full results of the poll can be seen HERE.

The ABC/WAPO poll used the following model sampling: Democrat 32%, Republican 22% and Independents 38%. The exit polling in the 2008 Presidential election was Democrat 39%, Republican 32% and Independents 29%. However, there was a huge change in the 2010 election as Democrats and Obama took a shellacking. Interestingly enough, 2010 exit polling had those voting at Democrat 35%, Republican 35% and Independents 29%.  So the trend is moving to be even rather than Democrats with a large sampling lead. However, that did not stop the WAPO and ABC to use an overinflated Democrat sample to give Obama a more than questionable poll results. The poll over-sampled Democrats to Republicans by 10%, yet Obama only leads Romney by 3%.

VP Joe Biden’s Crazy Lunatic Rant on Romney in Ohio Speech “They Don’t Get Us” (VIDEO) … Just a Heart Beat Away

You know what I don’t get, is how this crazy loon Joe Biden made it to a heart beat away from the Presidency. The MSM railed on Sarah Palin, yet they had no issue with crazy Joe being a heart beat away. YIKES!

The class warfare continues from the ranting of Obama’s Vice President Joe Biden. In a campaign speech in Youngstown, OH Biden went on a crazed rant about Republicans, namely Romney, “they don’t get us”. Biden went on to say, “My mother and father dreamed as much as any rich guy dreams!” HUH? This administration has been playing class warfare games for years now suddenly they say that they think “you don’t dream”. According to this administration millionaires are evil. Why would anyone want to dream to be evil?

From ABC News:

At a campaign stop in Youngstown, Ohio, today, Vice President Joe Biden lit into Republicans and their presumed  presidential nominee Mitt Romney for what he described as a failure to understand the plight of the middle class.

“I resent when they talk about families like mine that I grew up in. I resent the fact that they think we’re talking about  envy: it’s job envy, it’s wealthy envy; that we don’t dream,” an impassioned Biden told a crowd of manufacturing workers.

“My mother believed and my father believed that if I wanted to be president of the United States, that I could be, I could be vice president! My mother and father believed that if my brother or sister wanted to be a millionaire, they could be a millionaire! My mother and father dreamed as much as any rich guy dreams!

“They don’t get us! They don’t get who we are!” he yelled before the crowd, drawing loud applause.

WHAT THE FRIG IS THIS LUNATIC TALKING ABOUT?

The following is a fantastic response and analysis from Fox News Bill O’Reilly on The Factor to Biden’s “They don’t get us.” (VIDEO)

O’REILLY: And that’s true, Mr. Biden. I don’t get you. In fact, I don’t know what you’re talking about. You came from humble beginnings, you made it big. Same with me. What’s the problem? By the way, I give millions to charity. But you, Mr. Vice President, give only… nothing, very nearly nothing. I don’t get that.

Bottom line, this is all a bunch of garbage. The class warfare the Obama administration is peddling is bogus. Wealthy people are not responsible for the bad economy. Bad federal policies and corrupt financial greed heads are responsible.

Rich people pay most of the income tax in this country; 50 percent of the population pays no federal income tax at all. Wealthy people create jobs. The Occupy Wall Street protesters break windows. Are you getting this, Joe? Do I have to come to your lavish house in Delaware and explain it to you man to man?
