I thought the trade deals had been introduced a couple months ago going off how long Obama has been whining about them! That "take his arguments to the American people" is the preplanning for blame on some bill that could never pass. |

ATR, Senator Hatch To Obama: Stop Stalling on Trade Agreements Wednesday, June 8, 2011 Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) sharply criticized the President’s refusal to submit three pending trade agreements for ratification on Tuesday, reminding the Senate that the agreements would create jobs for American workers and opportunities for American businesses in emerging markets. This position was echoed by Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist in a letter sent to the White House today. The President has been stalling on submitting the pending Free Trade Agreements for ratification despite strongly expressed bipartisan support, because the Congress has refused to agree to renew or expand the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program. The TAA program, costing $2.4 billion per year, is designed to assist workers who have lost jobs due to import competition. However, studies have shown that workers in such industries have no greater difficulty finding new jobs than other workers, making the TAA program both costly and redundant. In his speech on the Senate floor, Hatch argued that: “Demanding an expanded TAA as another excuse to delay voting on these important agreements is irresponsible and self-defeating. At the same time, by not submitting these agreements for approval by Congress, the Administration is doing a disservice to the American economy” Norquist expressed a similar view in his letter to the President, stating that: “With unemployment at record numbers and the economy still struggling to recover, enacting policies that will boost trade will do much more in the immediate and long term to grow the economy and create new jobs than any program that continues government spending…”...snipped http://www.atr.org/atr-senator-hatch-obama-stop-stalling-a6226 Edited by Baldo, Aug 16 2011, 10:57 PM.

Aren't they just Nuts? Don't they know where that money for food stamps comes from? People have to create it. They have to work and create in abundance to pay taxes. I know they don't understand that. They just don't get the concept they are taking away capital from who who can create to give it to those that consume. I am not anti-food stamps, but it is just silly to think it helps the economy. It helps feed people. They should be wearing dunce hats |

Obama's Magical Misery Tour Bus Made in Canada WASHINGTON -- President Obama is barnstorming the heartland to boost US jobs in a taxpayer-financed luxury bus the government had custom built -- in Canada, The Post has learned. The $1.1 million vehicle, one of two that Quebec-based Prevost sold the government, has been tricked out by the Secret Service with state-of-the-art security features and creature comforts. It's a VIP H3-45 model, the company's top of the line, and is used by major traveling rock bands. "That's the more luxurious model," Christine Garant of Prevost told The Post....snipped http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/canucklehead_obama_bus_ted_gyztvw89k5MyKNS4B7Qp7O Brilliant huh? Tour the Midwest complaining about the Republicans stopping jobs in a bus made in Canada. Made in Sainte-Claire, Quebec, Canada So l who owns Prevost? AB Volvo, headquarters in Sweden. Not to be confused with Volvo Auto which is owned by the Geely Holding Group headquartered iHangzhou, Zhejiang, China Well who owns AB Volvo? Largest single shareholder is Renault which is a French Company which is 15% own by the French Govt! Vive la Obama! BTW the Prevost doesn't use American Engines either Edited by Baldo, Aug 17 2011, 07:46 AM.

It sounds like the $1.1M tab per bus to that other company might have been just to upgrade the buses... I think these buses may have cost a lot more than $2.2M... If they bought from Hemphill for 2.2, then who modified them and what did that cost? http://www.politico.com/blogs/joshgerstein/0411/22_million_pricetag_for_Obamas_new_armored_buses.html Edited by LTC8K6, Aug 17 2011, 08:24 AM.

Well we know that Congressman Issa heads the committee going after Holder and his gun running operation. And we all know that the main 'protector" of Obama's lies is Holder. So what does this administration do...they get their buddies at the New York Times to attack Congressman Issa. http://www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/Issa-demands-NYT-retraction/2011/08/19/id/407984?s=al&promo_code=CE17-1 Edited by cfochina, Aug 20 2011, 12:12 PM.

. Obama is just saying the same things over and over. He stepped out on Vacation and said the same thing to Cameras as he's been saying for about 4-5 days. 1. We can Fix the Economy right now - it only takes some in Congress to A. adopt Shared Sacrifice B. Put Country before Party C. Put the Next Generation before the Next Election D. Compromise and adopt Obama's plan This is like something out of a movie. It's obvious a Committee or group picks these points and slogans and then Obama robotically repeats them and executes their plan. His plans fit neatly into bump sticker slogans. . |

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/08/21/washingtons-economic-strategy-wait-it-out-until-2012/ President Obama: I Expect 'To Be Judged in a Year from Now' Published August 21, 2011 FoxNews.com President Obama says he understands that it's not satisfying to the jobless to hear him argue that his administration has made the right decisions, so he expects "to be judged in a year from now on whether or not things have continued to get better" in the United States. snip..... Obama, who's spending the week on Martha's Vineyard with his family before his two girls start the school year, said he's sitting out the month while Congress faces the wrath of voters at home, and until lawmakers begin to understand how much voters want them to cooperate and get something done. "If all we're doing is the same posturing that we saw before the debt limit vote, that's not gonna encourage anybody," he said. But blaming the economy on circumstances outside the United States -- like tsunamis and democratic uprisings in the Middle East -- does little to calm Americans, who last week gave Obama the lowest approval rating of his presidency. Asked about the time off, Republican strategist Ed Gillespie said he doesn't fault the president for taking a break. "Wrecking an economy as large as the United States is exhausting," he said. snip.... Edited by Kerri P., Aug 21 2011, 11:41 AM.

"Is Obama Smarter than Us?" Chris Matthew asked Howard Fineman in 2009. "Of course he is!" "One of Barack Obama's qualities - whether you like him or not - is patience." (Fineman) Thought I'd post this video as a little walk down memory lane. http://www.mrctv.org/videos/matthews-obama-smarter-us-newsweek’s-fineman-course-he Then fastforward to July 2011 to Nancy Pelosi's "Obama has the patience of Job!" "Job is 'no place' compared to this president in terms of patience." http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2011/07/14/pelosi_obama_more_patient_than_job_of_the_bible,_or_something "Patience" to the Left is the same thing as voting Present. Please don't tell me they are going to compare him to Job! |

White House Insider Interview part 3 Excerp "That’s who you see in the room – the real Barack Obama. Pretty f...g unsettling. Those world leaders, they sensed this. They saw through the façade and saw who was running the United States of America, and the word went out – “Don’t count on this American president – he doesn’t have a f...g clue.” And they’re right.

Thanks again! Interesting to read, but something what sticks out is this "Insider" should be a Democrat to be there and the article makes it sound like one involved with that party. The Dem office holders in Congress had the show to run until January of this year, and most that went the Congress and the WH started in Congress. They got just about everything the party wanted, including Obamacare and the Stimulus they were working on before Obama was elected. That tells me there is nothing much about Obama they can be disappointed in him for those innitial 2 years ...either he helped them with what they wanted or didn't get in their way. So why would this "Insider" be whining about him 7-8 months after Republicans took control of the House? |

HELL MUST BE FREEZING OVER Soros Bashes Obama For Following Outdated Keynesian Economics, Says Keynes Would “Definitely” Adjust His Theories If He Were Alive Today… I think the Soros Express just ran over Barack Obama. SPIEGEL Interview with George Soros — Spiegel SPIEGEL: The United States is drowning in even more debt than Europeans. Its economic recovery has been painful. Are we going to see a double-dip recession in the US? Soros: The indebtedness of the US is not all that high, but if a double-dip recession was in doubt a few weeks ago, it is less in doubt now, because financial markets have a very safe way of predicting the future. They cause it. And the markets have decided that America is going to see a recession, particularly after the recent downgrade of the US by the rating agency Standard & Poor’s. SPIEGEL: President Barack Obama has been fiercely criticized for his handling of the economy. You were one of his biggest supporters in 2008. Are you happy with his economic policy? Soros: No, of course not. But the reality is that we have had 25 years of excesses building up in America — a combustible mix of too much credit and too much leverage. You need a long time to reverse that. SPIEGEL: Obama tried to stimulate growth with a gigantic stimulus program which increased the national debt further. Was that a mistake? Soros: Obama embraced the ideas of John Maynard Keynes. Basically, the analysis of Keynes is still very relevant — with one big difference between now and the 1930s. In the 1930s, governments had practically no debt and could therefore run deficits. Nowadays, all governments are heavily indebted, and that is a big change. SPIEGEL: If Keynes were still alive, would he adjust his theory? Soros: Definitely. He would say governments can still benefit from running fiscal deficits, but the new debt has to be invested in a way that will pay for itself. So the money spent would have to increase productivity. http://weaselzippers.us/2011/08/22/soros-bashes-obama-for-following-outdated-keynesian-economics-says-keynes-would-definitely-adjust-his-theories-if-he-were-alive-today/ see also: http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/0,1518,780189,00.html |
