Obama's expensive new jobs

Obama's $800 billion plus "stimulus" package is said to create only 3.5 million jobs. The math on that comes out to about $220k per job.

I could do way better than that. Just write me a check for $800 billion dollars and I'll create a whole lot more jobs. Sure they won't pay a quarter of a million dollars each, but there will be a lot more people working. I'll probably start by creating a new automobile company, then an airline. haha!

He loves the smell of bacon

Obama: "The time for talk is over. The time for action is now."

So far all Obama has done with this stimulus bill is talk. Talk talk talk talk talk. Talk about Americans losing jobs. Talk about economy crisis. Talk about bipartisanship. Talk about NO PORK!

He doesn't have the stones to stand up to the Democrats who continue feeding the fat wallowing stimulus bill.

Good job America you elected an invertebrate.

I really want to talk about Geithner and Daschle, but Obama's hypocrisy just keeps coming.

Obama's love of foreign oil

When I started in on Obama after the inauguration I didn't think he would be making it this easy to make him look like an ID10T.

There are a few natural resources in Utah. Clinton stripped the Utah school system of much needed funds by stealing some of those lands and protecting them as federal spaces. So there is already a history of Democratic bigotry against Utah.

Bush approved auctioning off drilling rights on some more (this has been done before) of the BLM lands in Utah, in an effort to get at least something going in the energy plan area.

Obama has come along and put a halt on auctioning the Utah drilling rights that Bush approved.

Obama's new energy plan it would seem is to sit on his thumbs until a perfect solution smacks him in the face. Where Bush was going "Let's do something!" Obama, is saying "Don't do anything!"

The Super Partisan Administration

For all his talk about reaching across the aisle, inviting republicans and democrats over to watch the big game, he sure knows how to drive a wedge down the middle of the country.

Rush Limbaugh is the single most widely heard representation of conservative thought. Attacking him will buy Obama nothing but hate from a whole lot of people.

I don't listen to Rush, I'm more of a Glenn Beck man myself. There are lots and lots of people who do though, and they feel like Rush is the only person giving them a voice. Attacking Rush is attacking those voting citizens as well.

Obama's first piece of legislature was one of the most divided votes you can get. Not one single Republican voted for this economic stimulus plan, it's not only because it does not make sense, is chock full of pork, and just plain stupid. No, Obama also had to attack the Republicans constituents as well, ensuring he wouldn't get any republican votes.

I thought he was supposed to be smarter than this. Maybe Obama is getting a kick back from Limbaugh for all of the extra advertising.

Obama's anti-economy pro-environment thoughts

I don't give credence to the idea that we are in a financial crises. I think the term crisis should be reserved for things that are actually, you know, a crises. Let's pretend for this post that our economy does need emergency saving, and that the gov't should intervene.

Obama wants to crack down on auto exhaust. Not a bad idea. However he wants to do it by forcing stricter emissions laws on auto makers. Bad idea.

Let's say you're shopping for a new (used, whatever) car. You narrow your choice to two that are near identical, even in price, except that one has much better gas mileage. which one would you purchase? See, that's how a free market works. You're making a choice for the better product.

On the flip side, what enforced vehicle improvements tend to do is make the car itself so much more expensive that it grossly outweighs the benefits of fuel effeciency. These cars often take more expensive or hazardous (those batteries in the hybrids) materials to make. Costing more in energy and polution to manufacture than they save in emissions.

More expensive vehicles will hurt the middle to lower class in the long run, but what do the elitists on the hill care about us little people anyway. Right now Obama should be looking at ways to cut costs on things that the common Joe needs, not make them more expensive...the economy and all.

So far new administration continues to fail at grasping the big picture.

Lobbying should be illegal

Expect to see many comments from me about Obama. Due to many stooooopid choices already, I expect these comments to be mostly negative. For instance, the retard Obama has for a VP already stuck his foot in his mouth, with regards to the oath swearing mess up. It's too easy to take shots at Biden, because he may be the worst VP in decades upon decades upon decades.

Today though, I'm going to praise one of the very first things Obama has done. Day one Obama set down strict rules regarding lobbyist. Obama has agreed with me that it doesn't go far enough, but it's a good start.

Quite frankly, lobbying should be illegal. Corporations that contract to the gov't have strict guidelines regarding interaction with gov't officials. For instance we don't even give them a ride in our car anywhere, because it could be viewed as a gift. Lobbyists aren't held to the same standard for some reason, and I can't figure out why.

Good job Obama. Instead of shutting down Gitmo, maybe you should send the lobbyists there.

Welcome to the Obama three ring circus

An historic event! Never in history have we ever seen such a thing! What a landmark occasion!

Never before have we given the red button to a man with such a temper problem.

Never before has a president-elect managed to spend 1 trillion dollars before even being sworn in.

Never before has a president been a Muslim. That might not be a bad thing, if there wasn't a war going on. It would have been just as awkward to elect a German (nazi or not) during World War II. He would never admit that he converted to Christianity as a condition before marrying his wife. He'd also never admit that his choice of wife was provided to him as a condition to get in the good graces of the Chicago underbelly.

When was the last time we had a president with such a highly addictive personality?

Not since the founding fathers has this country been led by someone who may not have been born in the United States. Obama might be a Chinese gymnast for all we know.

Some things are not firsts though. A lot of the Obama cabinet is Clinton's cabinet. Oh goodie gumdrops. Worst of all we have Hillary Clinton as the Secretary of State. Now that's a good idea, the same people that let Bin Laden go so that he could orchestrate 9/11 are in charge of foreign affairs again.

Have we ever had a Treasury Secretary who "forgot" to pay his taxes before? That might be a first too.

Should we talk about the posturing about "change" and kicking out the old political nonesense, then having one of the longest running politicians for VP?

Let's also not discuss his demands that there be no more pork barrel politics, even though gratuitus pork for his home is what got him the support he enjoys today.

If I disappear in the next 4 years, you'll know it's because I was excercising freedom of speech and that just isn't done any more.

Don't blame me. I voted Libertarian.
