Nathan Martin spoke up at the MTV town-hall forum to ask President Obama why he has intervened to stop Arizona from enforcing immigration law but has yet to intervene to stop California from flouting federal law on marijuana. Martin is actually a member of the Salem family; he works as an associate producer on Bill Bennett’s nationally-syndicated Morning in America radio show. Nathan probably walked away rather disappointed, because he didn’t actually get an answer to his question. Instead, Obama delivered a talking-points defense of Amnesty Lite:

Vodpod videos no longer available.

Video: MTV town-hall questioner hits Obama on h…, posted with vodpod
Obama’s response is the anointed’s customary bogus idiom, which in the end is no answer at all.  So how do you reconcile:

(a)  Proposition 19;

(b) the death of American, David Hartley and so many others along the Mexican-U.S. border;

(c) the lack of security and policing of the Mexican-U.S. border; and

(d) yes as asked by Nathan Martin the double standard and hypocrisy of federal intervention between Arizona on immigration policies and California on drug policies, Barack.

We are still waiting for a laudable response.

In the meantime, an audience of actors with pre-planted questions and one or two allegedly “tough” questions appeases no one.

About that So-called Successful Stimulus Plan

Economic Recovery Package, Economic Stimulus Plan, fraud, Liberals, obama, Obama Administration, Stimulus Plan


Democrats from the president down are pulling out all the stops in their celebration of the anniversary of the stimulus package and its so-called success.  Of course, the fringe media, propaganda tool for the Obama administration is on board in perpetrating this farce.

Success is undoubtedly in the eye of the beholder this day, but what the president, vice president and cohorts are spouting is not a tale of success but a tale based of overt fabrication.

There are those who would challenge my views, but in the words of Glenn Beck, “who the hell is Chuck and Blake?”  Only 6% of Americans say that the stimulus has created jobs while 7% of Americans believe that Elvis is still alive.

I feel the need to set the record straight.

Where did the stimulus money go?  For starters, how about the Napa Valley wine project.  What about those highway projects?  Those highway projects consist of putting up signs.  For example NYC is spending over $1 million on highway signs.

Ed Lazear, former economic adviser to President George W. Bush, and a professor at Stanford University in California, not wanting to call Obama a liar says that “the facts don’t support the conjecture….”

Eye on the Stimulus

“With the anniversary of the stimulus upon us, politicians are likely to bombard us with numbers: 1.5 million to 2 million jobs created or saved, about $300 billion out the door, some $150 billion in the pipeline. The Democratic Policy Committee keeps a list of success stories while Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., has published two reports of 100 “wasteful” projects.

One number that’s been especially hard to pin down: the cost of waste, fraud and abuse.

Already there have been scattered reports about stimulus contractors that are under investigation or that have had serious violations in their past. Using estimates from fraud experts, the government’s stimulus watchdog, Earl Devaney, has said as much as $55 billion could be lost.”

See list of  Investigations of Stimulus Waste, Fraud, and Abuse at ProPublica.

White House Changes Stimulus Jobs Count

More tainted realities, lies, excuses and fuzzy math.  Caught in the act in the midst of pilfering the coffers dry, Obama and this merry band of theieves have found yet another tactic to cover up their grand theft larceny.

PROPUBLICA

“When the White House unveiled its nearly $800 billion stimulus package last year, it promised not only to create and save 3.5 million jobs but also to open the books and prove it. But counting jobs turned out to be a lot harder than lining up a work crew and tapping hardhats.

Now, the White House says it will no longer keep a cumulative tally of jobs created and saved by the stimulus. Instead, it will post only a count of jobs for each quarter.

And instead of counting only created and saved jobs, it will count any person who works on a project funded with stimulus money—even if that person was never in danger of losing his or her job.

The new rules came out last month in a little-noticed memo (PDF) sent to federal agencies by Peter Orszag, director of the Office of Management and Budget. OMB said it changed the guidelines to prevent the kinds of errors and confusion that occurred when the first job counts came out in October.

But Rep. Darrell Issa of California, the top Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said the Obama administration is making the job numbers even more misleading and is trying to pump them up by counting jobs that weren’t created or retained. He outlined his concerns in a letter (PDF) Friday to the government’s stimulus watchdog, Earl Devaney.

‘I think ‘jobs created or saved’ has simply lost all its credibility,’ Issa said in an interview. ‘It was opportunistic accounting from Day One.’

Under the stimulus package, nearly anyone receiving a contract, grant or loan is required to file a report each quarter detailing how the stimulus money was used and how many people were put to work. Those reports are then posted on the government’s stimulus Web site,Recovery.gov.

With tens of thousands of recipients now scrambling to meet the Jan. 15 deadline for the next report, the new guidance could significantly change what the public sees. Some examples:

  • When Chrysler reported a $53 million contract to build 3,000 government vehicles last fall, it listed zero jobs because it used existing employees to fill the orders. But under the new rules, those workers would have counted.
  • The Associated Press found that some recipients were counting pay raises as stimulus jobs. That will be OK under the new rules, but only if they are counted as fractions of a job.
  • The California state auditor rapped the state corrections department (PDF) for reporting 18,000 jobs instead of just 5,000 officers who had received layoff notices before stimulus money came in. But under the new guidance, the corrections department may have been right because stimulus money is helping it make payroll for all its employees….”

Obama Economic Advisor Laughed At For Saying Stimulus ‘Keeping People Employed’

≈ Comments Off on Obama Economic Advisor Laughed At For Saying Stimulus ‘Keeping People Employed’

Warning to consummate liars, DO NOT DRINK KOOL-AID.  I repeat BACK AWAY FROM THE KOOL-AID, which is apparently exactly what Robert Reich, Obama’s Economic Advisor is doing. 

In a discussion that aired Friday on CNBC this true believer or liar (you choose) claimed, “the stimulus package is the thing that is actually keeping the economy up, keeping people employed.”

Too much sugar can be detrimental to one’s health.

NEWSBUSTERS

“In a discussion on CNBC about the larger than expected September job losses reported [0] Friday by the Labor Department, Reich was explaining to hosts Melissa Francis and Lawrence Kudlow how things would be much worse if not for the stimulus package.

He also implied that things won’t get better until healthcare is reformed.

In the middle of this absolutely absurd statement, Francis and Kudlow appeared to look at each other with the former breaking out into laughter and the latter doing his best to hold it back.

 

 

‘Rather than worry about government spending too much, I worry quite frankly about government spending too little. As I said before, the stimulus package is the thing that is actually keeping the economy up, keeping people employed. Without government spending, without the stimulus package, I’m afraid as the Commerce Secretary said, we’re going to be in trouble. If we talk about healthcare reform, I’ll tell you, we’ve got to get those, those costs under control and that long-term cost curve down.”

By the way, did you catch the fact that there are ten separate tax hikes in the Baucus bill? TEN!!!

The Obama administration has lied so much to the American people that they now believe their own tainted realities.

OBAMA BEGS FOR OUR PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING

12 Sunday Jul 2009

Economic Recovery Package, Economic Stimulus Plan, Economy, obama, Obama Administration, Pelosi, Pork, RECESSION, Recovery Package, Stimulus Plan, UNEMPLOYMENT, USA


Less than six months ago, the Obama administration sought the perfect opportunity to take advantage of a good crisis.  The Democratic Party worked feverishly to pass and force feed a pork laden stimulus plan at the sum of $787 billion down the throats of Americans with the promise that once passed; it would immediately begin to put Americans back to work.

Obama: Stimulus will create 4.1 million jobs, 01/10/09, MSNBC 

“If nothing is done, economists from across the spectrum tell us that this recession could linger for years and the unemployment rate could reach double digits — and they warn that our nation could lose the competitive edge that has served as a foundation for our strength and standing in the world,’ he said.  

The president-elect said that a new analysis by his economic advisers indicated that his economic recovery plan ‘will likely save or create three to four million jobs.”  

Obama: Stimulus to save 3.5M jobs, put Americans to work, 02/18/09, The Biz Journal

“The White House estimates the legislation will save or create 3.5 million jobs…‘We are putting Americans to work doing the work that America needs done in critical areas that have been neglected for too long — work that will bring real and lasting change for generations to come,’ Obama said.”

Stimulus package would create/sustain 228,300 NY jobs, 02/04/09, The Business Review

“President Obama hopes that his proposed economic stimulus will create or save between 3 million and 4 million jobs across the nation through 2010. Members of Congress are currently debating a similar stimulus package valued at more than $800 billion.”

Congress Must Move Quickly on Stimulus Package, 01/08/09, PBS, THE NEWS HOUR 

“REP. NANCY PELOSI:  Well, you know, rather than go over the particulars of the plan, may I just say that what — in a broader sense, from the standpoint of our investments, as well as in the tax cuts and credits, what we want to do is to create 3 million jobs….

But one thing is for sure: We must have a bill signed into law by the middle of February. Our economy requires it. The American people need it desperately.”

 

Feeling the pressure of a failed stimulus package and the growing dissatisfaction of a nation, immediately once May’s dismal unemployment statistics were released in June, Obama countered with the assurance that Americans would see the stimulus package in action by summer’s end with the creation of over 600,000 jobs by the end of the summer, courtesy of summer employment.

Obama confronts doubts on stimulus, vows faster spending, 06/10/09, L.A. Times

“Reporting from Washington — President Obama billed it as an adrenaline jolt — a $787-billion stimulus package that not only would put people back to work, but also underwrite construction and energy projects the country had long neglected.

But with the economy still sputtering and some experts doubting the program was meeting its goals, Obama vowed Monday to accelerate stimulus spending with the goal of creating or saving 600,000 jobs by summer’s end.”

What summer employment jobs is supposed to do for the economy right now would be no more than putting a non-adhesive bandage on a festering sore since most summer employment programs are run through neighborhood youth corps programs and are clearly intended for teenagers in families earning below a specified income. 

However, in the world of Obama, such bogus nonsense would serve to give him a temporary reprieve.

Earlier this year, Obama also indicated that he expected the unemployment rate next year to reach into the double digits.

According to the Department of Labor, unemployment rose to 9.5 percent in June 2009 from 9.4 percent in May.  In the month of June alone, the economy shed 467,000 jobs.

As of June 2009, there are 14.7 million unemployed persons, and since December 2007, unemployment has risen by 7.2 million.

The Business Journal

“The number of persons unemployed for 27 weeks or longer continued to increase in June. The 4.4 million long-term jobless individuals accounted for 3 in 10 unemployed persons.”

It is clear that the Obama is out to lunch on this one, but refuses to own it.

Obama Says Economic Stimulus Plan Worked as Intended, 07/11/09, Bloomberg News

“President Barack Obama said his $787 billion stimulus bill “has worked as intended” as he pushed back against Republican criticism that his recovery program has failed to rescue the economy.

‘It has already extended unemployment insurance and health insurance to those who have lost their jobs in this recession,’ Obama, who is traveling today in Ghana, said in his weekly Saturday radio and Web address. ‘It has delivered $43 billion in tax relief to American working families and business.”

“$43 billion in tax relief to working families and business?”

Obama insults us by the very words he uses.  What good is an extra $13 a week in one’s paycheck when the government has put a tax on everything but the air.  Oh wait, they’re working on that one.  Small businesses have received no type of reprieve.  What little there is for small businesses come with so much red tape that a business could go under while trying to decipher the b.s.

Enough of the double talk, denial, excuses and passing the blame. This economy belongs to Obama has belonged to him for some time now.  He must wear it and face up to the fact “you cannot spend your way out of a bad economy.”

Obama and Biden confirms did not know what he was doing back in January and he does not know what the hell he is doing now.
