One Year Anniversary of Trillion Dollar Stimulus, Obama Applauds as Success … Where are the Jobs?

The One Year Anniversary of the $787 billion jobs bill … how’s the “hopee, changee” thing doing for you?

It was the one year anniversary of the Obama/Democrat $787 billion stimulus package that was supposed to keep unemployment at 8% and create so many shovel ready jobs. The only thing that appeared to be “shovel ready” was Obama and his minions rhetoric.

A note to America … you know when you know that a government spending plan that promises to create jobs is an abject failure? When you have to be told just how good a plan it is and the successes of the plan by the people who gave you the plan.

That is exactly what Barack Obama and his minions did yesterday as they spread out across the country to tell unemployed Americans just how great Obama’s $787 billion spending plan was for job. Americans know just what an EPIC FAILURE this bill was and for Obama and his band of merry men to claim the benefits of this colossal disaster only further proves why his poll numbers have tanked and the people do not trust Obama on the economy.

Obama, in a White House speech, said he believed the stimulus will save or create 1.5 million jobs in 2010 after saving or creating as many as 2 million jobs thus far.

His point was to show that the stimulus, while admittedly unpopular, had the effect of keeping the U.S. economy from plunging into a second Great Depression.

House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) – “Today’s anniversary of the Democrats’ trillion-dollar ‘stimulus’ marks one year of broken promises, bloated government, and wasteful spending.”

“Where are the jobs?”

The Gateway Pundit has more of Republican Whip Eric Cantor list of top 12 lowlights from the Democrat Stimulus bill from this past year. Think your hard earned tax dollars were well spent on this pork barrel spending bill disguised as a jobs stimulus bill? Check out what your money was spent on. Here are just a couple of gems.

6. Did You Save 30 Seconds On Your Last Trip Through Thedford, Nebraska? $7 million in taxpayer stimulus funds are being used to build a bridge in Thedford, Nebraska. The purpose of the bridge? Helping 168 residents avoid a 30 second wait at a local train crossing.

12. At Least You Can Skateboard While Your Town Goes Bankrupt The city of Pawtucket, Rhode Island, which has a $5.2 million school budget deficit and about a $4.8 million municipal deficit and has eliminated about 40 city jobs so far this year, announced that they will spend $550,000 in federal stimulus money to construct a skateboard park at a local school, because it is “shovel-ready.”

Read My Lips … Barack Obama Says He is “agnostic” About Raising Taxes on Households Making Less than $250,000

Read my lips … don’t believe any thing I say.

Candidate Barack Hussein Obama said it over and over and over again during the Presidential election of 2008. Obama stated that he would not raise any form of taxes on any family making less than $250,000.

Let me be absolutely clear, if you are a family making less than $250,000 a year you will not see your taxes go up.

Much like the promises of transparency of televising the health care reform debate on C-SPAN, so go’s the promise of no taxes on the middle class. Hey America, has that “hopee, changee” thing work out for ya?

You were warned during the election that Obama’s pledge on not raising taxes on any family making below $250K was lip service. Suddenly all things are on the table as opposed to pandering for votes. As Michelle Malkin states, Read my lips, you can’t believe any thing that passes the.”

Barack Obama told reporters that he was “agnostic”

President Barack Obama said he is “agnostic” about raising taxes on households making less than $250,000 as part of a broad effort to rein in the budget deficit.

Obama, in a Feb. 9 Oval Office interview, said that a presidential commission on the budget needs to consider all options for reducing the deficit, including tax increases and cuts in spending on entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare.

“The whole point of it is to make sure that all ideas are on the table,” the president said in the interview with Bloomberg BusinessWeek, which will appear on newsstands Friday. “So what I want to do is to be completely agnostic, in terms of solutions.”

However, the reality is Obama has already raised taxes on the middle class.

Obama Unveils $3.8 Trillion Budget with Record Deficits

There you have it American … Barack Obama’s $3.8 Trillion budget. Obama will propose on Monday a $3.8 trillion budget for fiscal 2011 that projects the deficit will shoot up to a record $1.6 trillion this year.

3.8 Trillion Dollars!!!

President Obama sent Congress on Monday a record $3.8 trillion budget for 2011 that would boost war spending, trim domestic spending and rely on $1.3 trillion in new borrowing.

The budget would be the third in a row with a deficit of more than $1 trillion. The red ink would be cut nearly in half by 2014, mostly by allowing tax cuts on families making more than $250,000 to expire in 2011.

The Obama Administration claims that to put people back to work, Obama proposes to spend about $100 billion immediately on a jobs bill that would include tax cuts for small businesses, social-safety-net programs, and aid to state and local governments. Didn’t we already have a $787 billion Stimulus  package that did not do the job and of which all the $’s were not spent? Another Stimulus plan, do we call it Son of Stimulus?

The US Government is spending way more much money that it is taking in. American families are asked to budget and go without, why isn’t the US government doing the same?

UPDATE I: Republicans on Monday slammed President Obama’s $3.8 trillion budget as a fiscally irresponsible spending spree

UPDATE II: Debt deluge: Here comes the $1.6 trillion flood of red ink

Good grief, this will burden individuals for generations to come. Obama has the audacity to blame this on Bush? Hardly.

Obama Makes Back Room “Nontransparent” Deal with Unions On Health Care Cadillac Tax and no CSPAN

Obama makes yet another backroom deal and it was not televised on CSPAN!

Barack Hussein Obama: Read My Lips … No new middle class taxes. So much for “We the People” with Obama it’s about him and his constituents.

I will not increase taxes on any family making under less than $250K a year will see any form of tax increase …  John McCain wants to tax your health care benefits.

Remember OBAMA was supposed to be the most transparent President EVAH!

The Gateway Pundit reminds us of this little time machine moment … from the 2008 Presidential election when Obama said he was against the taxing of Cadillac plans and attack Republican candidate John McCain

The Obama Administration has made yet another back room deal for the terrible pice of health care legislation known as Obamacare. This time it was with Union leaders and Cadillac health care taxes. Or in this case, the Unions’s lack there of of paying the taxes. WHAT YOU DID NOT WATCH IT ON CPAN? ME NEITHER!

Special deals made for union members but not all middle class Americans. How is that Hope & Change feeling now America?

The White House reached a tentative agreement with union leaders early Thursday to tax high-cost insurance plans.

The White House reached a tentative agreement with union leaders early Thursday to tax high-cost insurance plans, officials said, removing one of the major stumbling blocks in the way of a final compromise on comprehensive health care legislation sought by President Barack Obama.

Complete details of the tentative deal were not immediately available, although the White House was expected to present it to senior lawmakers later in the day. Union leaders also were returning to the White House.

Rep. Joe Courtney, D-Conn., who led the opposition to the tax in the House, said the agreement involves several measures that would ease its impact. Among them: excluding the value of dental and vision benefits when applying the tax as well as raising the $23,000 threshold at which it would take effect for families.

Hmm, the problem that the Clintons made in 1993 with Hillary health care is they took all their ideas and people in to a room and closed the door.

However, what do you expect from an Administration that meets on Transparancy, but the meeting is closed. Good grief, you just can’t make this stuff up or trust this administration.

Stop the Global Warming Cap & Trade Nonsense … Dems Say to Barack Obama

STOP CAP & TRADE OR DEMS RISK AN EVEN GREATER SLAUGHTER IN 2010.

With the looming spectre of a 2010 Democrat massacre at the ballot box, so-called moderate Senate Democrats are begging Barack Obama and the White House to stop pushing such unpopular pieces of legislation like Cap & Trade.

After the Democrat partisan vote and passage of Obamacare through the Senate, many Dems fear that Cap & Trade will be yet another bill with no support from Republicans or the People. However, Obama does not seem to listen to “We the People,” will he listen to his own party Senators?

“I am communicating that in every way I know how,” says Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.), one of at least half a dozen Democrats who’ve told the White House or their own leaders that it’s time to jettison the centerpiece of their party’s plan to curb global warming.
