Despite unprecedented (and unsecured) government spending, 49 of 50 states continued to bleed jobs as unemployment levels soared to new highs. Put another way, the "stimulus" didn't stimulate squat. Meanwhile, the Whitehouse continues to claim that the stimulus package saved millions of imaginary jobs that "might have been lost but weren't", and also deflected giant asteroids that "could have struck the Earth but didn't."

Even with a new name, the plan will still destroy the insurance industry, drive up healthcare costs, and lead to massive rationing of medical services. But instead of calling that a "disaster," let's follow the Democratic lead and call it ..."Hope and Change."

The ruling also suggested that White voters won't vote for a Black candidate unless they know he or she is not a Republican.
The many layers of insulting racism, stereotyping, and political partisanship in this ruling seem astounding...until you consider that the ruling comes from the same liberal justice official who declared that there was no voter intimidation when armed and uniformed Black Panthers challenged white voters at a polling place in 2008 to "make sure that a Black president will get elected." To summarize, Obama's "post-racial America" is being defined on the legal precepts that Blacks will only vote for Democrats...that Blacks cannot tell the difference between individual candidates or recognize them by name...that Whites hate Black people unless they're Democratic candidates...and that if all else fails, potentially violent intimidation at the polls is fine as long as it benefits Democrats.
Meanwhile, the president continues to delay making his troop decision about Afghanistan because their elections are corrupt! Irony, anyone?

Unfortunately, the administration is responding with massive taxes and burdens on the business community that discourage job creation (and generally punish employers), while also dismantling free enterprise through control of banks, manufacturers, and soon the health care industry.
Meanwhile, America produces fewer and fewer students who can compete educationally with their overseas counterparts. In Obama's alleged home state of Hawaii, the teachers union has now voted to close schools every Friday as a way to save money...even though the state was already among the nation's worst in educational achievement.
So America...how's that "Hope and Change" thing working out for you?
Click Cartoon for Larger Size Whitehouse spokespeople visited Sunday "news" shows to continue building their case that Fox News isn't a real news channel.
But the woman spearheading the attack on Fox News, Whitehouse Communications Chief Anita "I Love Mao" Dunn, is now on the record saying that much of Obama's strength comes from only dealing with news outlets andnews stories that they can "control." Which is, apparently, everyone except Fox News.

There is still no word on where the family got the idea to tell a huge, preposterous lie only to advance their own careers, although FAA investigators said a "valuable clue" was an "Obama/Biden" bumpersticker which was attached to the runaway balloon.
But if the president won't honor his previous promise, shouldn't we be all the more worried about his new "promises" that Obamacare won't bankrupt the country, destroy the medical system, or order seniors to early graves?
Mr president, either all your promises have to mean something...or none of them do.
