Just like my wife....

What's a mother to do? Apparently, none of Moochelle's 24 assistants were available, so she had to haul herself to Target to pick up a few things. Of course, she also had to drag the 5 armor-coated SUVs and a couple of dozen special agents cause nothing says "cost savings" like being escorted by your full compliment of Federal agents with you to Target!

Imagine the conversation that preceded this visit. "Well Michelle, you have really come off as a pompous, arrogant biatch so we need to arrange something to enhance your image as a commoner." Her response "Well, Nieman Marcus has a clearance rack."

Oh, and what are the odds of an Associated Press photographer coincidentally arriving at the same time?. Somewhere between slim and none. But what skills he has staging this photo op-- Ms. Michelle O'thrifty, those bags you are carrying---uhh, they go in the cart. I know sweetheart, it's been awhile. And speaking of, as the Queen of Green, why are you in possession of those plastic bags? And does Barry know you are in a non-union store?


What would have been hilarious would be the store pulling its security video and seeing all of the dark suit personnel with their ear pieces scurrying around the aisles dodging all of the real, thrifty moms and their strollers as Michelle wandered aimlessly pretending she was highly focused on Target merchandise. Rumor has it this photo here was on the video feed.

Yes folks, they are just like us. Well, except when she is wearing $42,000 of jewelry at a fundraiser...or when she is wearing her Recession Wear $540 sneakers at a soup kitchen...or when she is taking an $80,000 per day vacation..yes, Michelle, the queen of coupon clippers!

What is more disheartening than the staged photo op is the belief Michelle thinks she is fooling us. All staged, all a fraud, all a facade. But, who can blame her realizing she fooled 52% of America 3 years ago.

477 days....Bullseye!

Flush!

Any HOPE for reelection is circling the drain. Let's visit the recent deceit and scandals of the Obama administration of the past 10 days. And, as you read each one, precede it by thinking "What if George Bush would have done this?" ...

1) Solyndra- The Bush administration effectively says "no way" to the application from this solar fiasco. Along comes the Obama thugocracy who agree to a below industry loan rate and hands out a half-billion dollars of taxpayer money, AGAINST the desires of their own evaluation team. One model shows bankruptcy forecasted for Sept 2011--take one guess when they went paws up? Guess what executives are pleading the 5th amendment at the upcoming Congressional hearings? Timeline here .

2) Fast and Furious- The one scandal that should absolutely lead to impeachment. In my best Larry the Cable Guy voice, "I have an idea'er. Let's allow gun dealers along the Mexican borders to sell automatic weapons to illegals and to the hood. We will tell Americans we are tracking them to eventually prove how evil guns are so we progressives can institute tighter gun laws. What could go wrong?" Only one MINOR problem, the administration was unable to follow the weapons. RESULTS: 200 innocent victims dead in Mexico along with one U.S. Border Patrolman at the hands of these weapons. Excellent summary here .

3) Lightsquared- A four starred general has indicated the White House tried to pressure him to change his testimony involving a pet project of the Obama administration. Essentially, General William Shelton was asked to reword his opinion involving bandwidth interference being caused by Lightsquared, a satellite broadband company and, of course, A LARGE OBAMA DONOR. Ya see, Lightsquare's signal has a high probability of disrupting the less powerful GPS beams which might be a weeney-teeney problem when the Boeing 767 is on final approach on a foggy night and his guidance system goes kappoey. Just a lil problem the General was trying to relay to President I Don't Care.  Scandal here .

4) (Save My) Jobs Bill- It turned out to be exactly as was suspected--an attempt to present a dead on arrival bill to make the GOP appear as obstructionists. One unexpected issue, the Democrats in the Senate won't pass it either as it is written. A backfire bigger than Hillary's ankles and Moochelle's rumpus combined! Obama wanted bi-partisan agreement and got it--the House and Senate both dislike it.

5) Millionaires Blah Blah- "Middle class families shouldn't pay higher taxes than millionaires and billionaires", Obama said Monday. Even the Obama loving Associated Press called out President Class Warfare on this boldface lie. Once again, those pesky things called facts-- IRS statistics in 2009 showed 98% of all millionaires paid more income tax than the lower income bracket folks.Details here  and here . And if you really need a stat to share with your libtard friends, how about this-The Top .1%, yes Point One Percent, pay in more than the bottom 80%, view here . Once again, another pure rant from King Strawman.

6) "Confidence Men"- The book outlining the abuse former Obama female staffers received in the White House was released this week by Pulitzer winning author Ron Suskind. Before you rush to conclude Ron is probably Rush Limbaugh's brother-in-law, he is not. As a matter of fact, Mr. Suskind also authored some not so kind memoirs of George W. Bush.

7) Chicago Tribune- When your homey town newspaper says it's time for you to hit the links full time, perhaps it is. It's just too bad the press is 3.5 years late to the party. Read here .

8) Marist Poll- Or as I prefer, the Marxist Poll, has revealed Marxism is extremely unpopular.His lowest rating ever shows him at a 39% favorability rating. It looks like his Jobs Bill gave him a dead armadillo bounce in the polls. Poll here .

9) Nevada Obama Stench- An insider with the Nevada Democratic Party gave this campaign advice this week: "DO NOT get your picture taken with President Obama.". Read here .

As is evidenced by the past ten days, the Teflon has began to peel. The Slow Learners Union of America (those who voted for Obama) has abandoned the ship.The mainstream media has filed for divorce. The world stage has discovered the clothes have no emperor.

Effectively, you Mr. President quit on us. You now resort only to divisive rhetoric and recycled, failed plans. Any chance that you would ever negotiate, compromise and unite this country ended months after you were inaugurated when you boasted "I won!". Obamacare, Stimulus, Libya--ZERO consultation with Republicans, yet you continue to expect their participation? You chose to ignore decades of economic evidence and forged your own disastrous, but yet predictable, path. Your self-serving, narcissistic personality has convinced you that you could sell a ketchup Popsicle to a bride in her gown. You alone own the stain on the American economy.

It's time for President Barack Hussein Obama to do something unimaginable-- ANNOUNCE HE WILL NOT BE RUNNING FOR REELECTION!

Obama's "SAVE MY JOB" bill



Obama trying to solve our unemployment crisis is like being stuck in a dark room on a moonless night trying to find a black cat, IT AIN'T HAPPENIN' FOLKS! The consequence of placing someone in charge of the USA who has ZERO business experience continues to reveal itself. As I have pointed out before in a previous post, surrounding yourself with a Cabinet who has a grand total of 8% of its members having any private sector experience results in abysmal proposals such as the recent American Jobs Act, also known as Son of (Failed) Stimulus, a bastard child.

This is nothing more than Cash for Clunkers and the Homebuyers Tax Credit with a different mask whose only intent is to create a large volume of results in a short period of time with ZERO LONG TERM IMPACT costing us BILLION$ we do not have. Let's look specifically at the ludicrous proposal of offering up a $4,000 tax credit for businesses who hire someone who has been unemployed for a minimum of six months from the perspective of the business owner.

First, I don't hire based upon a measly incentive, I add an employee because my business needs the new employee as my sales/services are in demand. Improving a flailing economy is about creating an environment that stirs up new or repeat customers, not about adding a payroll member who comes to work to learn he has nothing to do. I am going to hire regardless if the net effect on my bottom line is positive. Only in Obama's math classroom does $4,000 look bigger than the $40,000 it takes in salary, benefits and training expenses it costs to bring on a new employee. Absurd.

Next, another example of what this administration is all about--picking winners and losers! You have been unemployed for 5 months, the tax credit does not apply so you look less attractive to the hirer. Move along, continue cashing your Obama unemployment check, we don't need your application. Any legal implications? It has a little of that Affirmative Action stench to me.

Third, what prevents me the business owner from not manipulating the credit offer? I have been looking for a reason to toss out Pooky the burger flipeer so I fire him. Out with Pooky, in with  Cuz Eddie, the post-6 month unemployed dog washer. There is a net gain of ZERO in terms of unemployment numbers as one just replaced the other, but I now have a $4000 tax offset-- SWEET deal for me, BAD for the gubmint, HORRENDOUS for us the taxpayer.

Let's get real, the American business owner is not going to hire anyone for 3 simple reasons:

• The albatross known as Obamacare and all of its ramifications
• The uncertainty of the tax direction of this administration. As it is, this job's bill is funded by increased taxes on those who make over $200K, many who are the very owner of these businesses President What's-A-Lemonade Stand is trying to stimulate.
• Strangulation by regulation. During its first 26 months, the Obama administration imposed 75 new major regulations with reported costs to the private sector exceeding $40 billion.Business owners are now having to direct monies for compliant officers rather than focusing on growth.

This whole plan has nothing to do with jobs. The motivation is simply to develop a bill without considering any GOP input and then turn around and blame the GOP for nixing what is nothing more than a failure we have already seen, better known as The Stimulus Boondoggle of 2009. Unfortunately, the only one who remains unaware of the Obama chicanery is Obama himself.

Even a blind man in a dark room petting a black cat should be able to see the stupidity of the tax gimmickry....496 days remaining for the Party of Unintended Consequences...

Egg Meet Face

Is there anything this Badministration bothers to take time out to research? Wiki? Bueller? McFly? Anyone? First, we have their oversight intentional deceitfulness on display when they schedule the Joint Session before Congress Jobs Plan on TV the same night the GOP debate which has been scheduled for over six months-- now we have this:

First, watch the 2 minute video of U.S. Labor Secretary Union Fondler, Hilda "Illegals Have A Right To Fair Wages" Solis, as she boldly exclaims the pride and joy of supporting her American workers by purchasing a new Chevrolet Equinox.

Note her money line: “What better example could I set if I encouraged my staff to go and purchase and seek how we could acquire a vehicle that would for me would send a signal that we’re for supporting our American workers, American-made products, fuel efficient as well." She then goes on to yammer about the blah-blah Obama economy, blah-blah Detroit liberal cesspool, blah-blah female workers, etc.

The one iddy-biddy problem with her enthusiastic drivel-- ya ready-- THE CROSSOVER SUV IS BUILT AND ASSEMBLED IN CANADA FROM PARTS ALSO MADE IN CANADA. Well, except the transmission, which is made in--drum roll-- MEXICO (see here).

There you go, GM, Government Motors, now has an international division-- woot! With Obama's two new job-touting campaign buses that were manufactured in Canada and now this, you have got to wonder--......is Obama President of Canada- (oh God, make it true!).

Perhaps the scariest observation over the past 3 years is the thought Joe Biden might be the brightest puppy in the Obama litter...

Five-hundred and seven sunsets to go...
