The only reason you are getting this clear reporting is this isn’t from an American paper.

Millions of jobs created and/or saved!
Hope and Change for the MASSES!
As Obama promised, HE won’t TAX you.
Now you know why!

Jobless millions signal death of the American dream for many

Just how badly the great recession has struck this fragile New Jersey city, which is currently the poorest in America, was recently spelled out to Gaines. In happier times – whatever that might mean for a city as destitute as Camden – local businesses on Haddon Avenue could at least rely on a bit of trade from those who made their money on the street.

Young men bought flashy clothes and got sharp haircuts and always paid in cash. But no longer. The economy is now so bad in Camden that even the criminals are struggling and going short. “Even the guys who got money from illegal means really don’t want to spend it,” Gaines said. [snip]

America appears to be a society splitting down the centre, shattering the middle class that long formed the cultural bedrock of the country and dividing it into a country of haves and have-nots. “A once unthinkable level of economic distress is in the process of becoming the new normal,” warned Nobel-prize winning economist Paul Krugman in a recent New York Times column. Or, as Steven Green, an economics lecturer at Baylor University, put it to the Observer: “We are really in a tough spot right now.”

There is a new name for those falling down the black hole of joblessness that has opened up in America’s economy. They are the 99ers.

It is a moniker that no one wants. It refers to the 99 weeks of benefits that the jobless can qualify for in America. Government cash helps those laid off keep a tenuous grip on a normal life. It keeps a roof over their heads, pays a phone bill, puts food on a table and petrol in a car. But once the 99 weeks are up the payments stop – as is happening now for millions of people – and they are 99ers. [snip]

In a city that has had it tough for decades these are hammer blows to its residents. One woman who has watched in dismay as the recession unfolded outside her door is Dorothy Allen, 81, who has lived near Haddon Avenue for almost four decades. Known by almost everyone as “Mom”, she calls herself “the mother of the block”. She has never known anything like the area’s current troubles. “I have been here since 1971 and it’s the worst it’s ever been,” she said. Yet to listen to America’s politicians many would think recovery is just a matter of time. Yes, they say, the recession has been hard, but America will pull through and everything will be as it once was. Last week New Jersey senator Robert Menendez visited Camden, stopping at a local health clinic. He spoke of the achievements of the Democrats in staving off economic disaster.

Job creation was coming, he told his audience of health executives: “It is not going fast enough to get people back to work but it’s a dramatic turnaround.“(emphasis added)
It does not feel that way for millions of Americans all across the country. Camden is far from unique in slashing its services. In Colorado Springs more than a third of street lights have been switched off to cut the municipal electricity bill. The city has also sold off its police helicopters.

Are you not rejoicing that the Jackass Party finally understands what’s wrong! Our DEAR LEADER will fix the problem soon, probably by 2014, if and only if, you reelect the entire batch of fumblenuts currently in power.
I don’t think we can take any more of this “dramatic turnaround.”

The Country is swooning from ecstasy NOW.

Any translation has to contain some choice words about the economic direction like smelly, stinkeroo, Obamalike, horrible or deathly.

The Administration loses the chairwoman of President Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers in early September. Bailing out, she is, despite the spin coming from the Ovful Office.

Christina Romer, Top Economic Adviser to Obama, to Step Down

[snip]
Romer, head of the president’s Council of Economic Advisers, has been one of the administration’s most prominent voices on the economy, making frequent appearances on TV and at White House events to promote Obama’s policies. She also was reported to have butted heads with other members of Obama’s economic team, in particular Larry Summers, director of the National Economic Council.

In December, the she sand Summers even seemed to contradict each other — in interviews conducted on the same day — on whether the recession had ended. [snip]

Lets see what the unemployment numbers look like, they’re due out today. And the numbers are:

Jobs Picture Worsens With 131,000 Losses; 9.5% Rate

[snip]
The unemployment rate was unchanged at 9.5 percent in July, just below market expectations for a rise to 9.6 percent. The steady jobless rate largely reflected a drop in the labor force as discouraged workers gave up the search for jobs.Job growth has taken a step back after fairly strong gains between February and April, putting in jeopardy the economy’s recovery from its worst downturn since the 1930s. [snip]

Last month, the dominant service sector added 38,000 jobs after June’s 34,000 gain. More disturbing, temporary help services, seen as a harbinger of future permanent hiring, fell 5,600 after increasing 11,200. Temporary employment gains had averaged 45,000 per month from October 2009 to May.State and local governments, struggling with huge budget deficits, purged more workers last month, combining with mass layoffs of temporary federal census workers to push government payrolls down by 202,000 compared to a 252,000 drop in June. [snip]

So much for that Bull**it of jobs created or saved. Talk is cheap; Obama has lots of that, all of which starts BLAME BUSH.
We’re just about two years into his desire to change 234 years of U.S. existence into Zimbabwe.

Following in the Messiah’s footsteps isn’t going to get the U.S. back to any HOPE of future growth or CHANGE in economic fortunes.
You need a new God to follow, one that doesn’t carry a hammer and sickle and promise FREE LUNCH.

With the Senate out trolling for votes, molesting pages or shaking down lobbyists for campaign donations, the West Wing door stop hopped to making more recess appointments.

We now have a Minister of Education, some fop dragged out of a baggage room in a Price Line hotel, dusted off and given some lines to read off a spare teleprompter.

A perfect piece of work, hair lip and all.

Corrigan did his trip deliberately!
Obama has NO excuse.

Spill reveals Obama’s lack of executive experience

 In mid-February 2008, fresh from winning a bunch of Super Tuesday primaries, Barack Obama granted an interview to “60 Minutes” correspondent Steve Croft. “When you sit down and you look at [your] resume,” Croft said to Obama, “there’s no executive experience, and in fact, correct if I’m wrong, the only thing that you’ve actually run was the Harvard Law Review.”

“Well, I’ve run my Senate office, and I’ve run this campaign,” Obama said. [snip]

Now we have this juggernaut heading out to “kick some ass” somewhere, probably some 9-year-old kid in a wheelchair on his on front porch.

What one gets with a COMMUNITY ORGANIZER with absolutely no experience with WORK!

ANSEL ADAMS TODAY, LOVELY ISN’T IT.

This will look fantastic along the Blue Ridge Parkway or Sky line Drive. I vote for a line of pinwheels right through Bryce or Painted National Parks. We need to keep those places nuclear free.

Why not paint the blades a rainbow of colors; that’s the way to celebrate the manifold divergence of this nation. A color each for the AIDS crowd, the PUSH Coalition, GLESN, La Raza,  CPUSA, The Duke 88 types, the Sierra Club and the rest that do so much to bring this country together.

Better yet, paint them BLOOD RED while they’re spinning so that they can spatter the countryside.
What a gorgeous result, like spin art at the carnival. The ‘tards will wet their panties.

Every country that HAS an economy is going nuclear, only the idiots want to go backwards.

 I want to see how they form up.
With the Obama Administration, I believe they’ll form a funnel shape allowing a safe travel zone for the criminal trespassers.
In LIB-SPEAK improving border security is never defined as for whom it is being improved.

Lawmaker: Obama to send 1,200 troops to border

PHOENIX (AP) - The Obama administration plans to announce Tuesday that it will send as many as 1,200 National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border to improve border security, an Arizona congresswoman said.  [snip]

I’m knocked for six, it isn’t the Canadian border.

This morning news had a blurb about the first time home buyer tax credit running out of money before April 30^th. Some buyers will not get the break.

Need to check this further but I wouldn’t be surprised.

Obviously this IS an option! The Feds are telling us that. If they can pick and choose among the laws that are to be enforced, we can pick the ones we shall obey.

Top Official Says Feds May Not Process Illegals Referred From Arizona

 A top Department of Homeland Security official reportedly said his agency will not necessarily process illegal immigrants referred to them by Arizona authorities.

John Morton, assistant secretary of homeland security for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, made the comment during a meeting on Wednesday with the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune, the newspaper reports.

“I don’t think the Arizona law, or laws like it, are the solution,” Morton told the newspaper. [snip]

Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-AL, said it appeared the Obama administration is “nullifying existing law” and suggested Morton may not be the right person for his post if he fails to enforce federal immigration law.

“If he feels he cannot enforce the law, he shouldn’t have the job,” Sessions told Fox News. “That makes him, in my view, not fulfilling the responsibilities of his office.”

Sessions said the U.S. government has “systematically failed” to enforce federal immigration law and claimed Morton’s statement is an indication that federal officials do not plan on working with Arizona authorities regarding its controversial law.

“They’re telegraphing to every ICE agency in America that they really don’t intend on cooperating with Arizona,” Sessions said. “The federal government should step up and do it. It’s their responsibility.”

This voter hunt/buy on the part of the Jackasses is coming to a head.
The Community Organizer hopes to admit Mexico as the 58^th State before Nov, to add to Obama’s 57 count.

Ed G. Mann posted at Vermont Loon Watch these first steps to increase our presence on the borders and apprehend the hordes of illegals crossing over at this HOT SPOT.

Finally the Department of Homeland Security under Napalitano gets serious about border security. The Port of Entry at  Morses Line is an invasion point rated as Class One, which means SOMETHING must be done immediately. [snip]

HLS is going to court, not even going to bother with an Environmental Impact Statement. Serious stuff here, there’s going to be HELL in a small place. 

Amazing!

What you are seeing is the fiscal irresponsibility of Obama and his Administration. Congress is complicit, they voted for these budgets.
One has to believe hat after he saw the result of of the first year’s policy, now what transpires is the DELIBERATE WRECKING of the US economy.

US faces one of biggest budget crunches in world – IMF

Earlier this week, the Bank of England Governor, Mervyn King, irked US authorities by pointing out that even the world’s economic superpower has a major fiscal problem -“even the United States, the world’s largest economy, has a very large fiscal deficit” were his words. They were rather vague, but by happy coincidence the International Monetary Fund has chosen to flesh out the issue today. Unfortunately this is a rather long post with a few chunky tables, but it is worth spending a bit of time with – the IMF analysis is fascinating. [snip]

(All charts are at the linked site)

Exhibit a is the fact that under the Obama administration’s current fiscal plans, the national debt in the US (on a gross basis) will climb to above 100pc of GDP by 2015 – a far steeper increase than almost any other country.

Compare it with the UK, which is often pinpointed as a Greece in the making. As you can see, gross debt increases sharply, but not by anything like the same degree. [snip]

But level of debt isn’t the only problem. Then there’s the fact that the US has a far shorter maturity of government debt than most other countries, meaning that even if it weren’t borrowing any extra cash it would have to issue a large chunk of new stuff each year as things are. The killer table to show you that is this one, which shows a country’s “gross financing needs” – in other words how much debt it has to issue in the coming years to keep itself functioning. [snip]

The short term maturation T-Bills occurred on Clinton’s watch, when he dropped the long term notes and took up the short term lower interest rates in order to make the debt look better during his first term. We are now paying for the fast rollover.

Everyone is going to pay for the stupidity of the Obama policies!

As broke as CA is what in hell are they using to pay the bills anyway? Sounds like a good deal for Arizona!
Contracts with deadbeat states will only windup in bankruptcy court. 

L.A. Becomes Largest City To Boycott Arizona

Los Angeles on Wednesday became the largest city yet to boycott Arizona over its tough new law targeting illegal immigration in a move that likely will affect some $8 million in contracts with the state.  [snip]

“US Airways is based in Arizona and they certainly fly in and out (of Los Angeles)” and it would hardly be feasible to end those flights, Hahn said before the council vote.

Hahn said the Los Angeles boycott also won’t affect the city’s Department of Water and Power, which has wind farm and nuclear energy contracts in Arizona. Among the contracts with Arizona companies that conceivably could be terminated include those for helicopter services, Taser guns, waste management, engineering and surveillance equipment.  [snip]

Arizona should cancel all those contracts when California cancels one. Let L.A. spend their IOU’s instate; how many companies are willing to do business with them now anyway.

LA Votes in Favor of Arizona Boycott

The council’s move comes amid controversy over Arizona’s tough immigration law — SB 1070. Thirteen of the council’s members approved the resolution.

That makes LA the nation’s largest city to boycott Arizona over SB 1070.

“Los Angeles the second-largest city in this country, an immigrant city, an international city. It needs to have its voice heard,” said Councilman Ed Reyes. “As an American, I cannot go to Arizona today without a passport. If I come across an officer who’s having a bad day and feels that the picture on my ID is not me, I can be… deported, no questions asked. That is not American.” [snip]

Well, turkey, if you’re not an American citizen, yeah, you can be deported. The next question is why are you holding public office, if you’re not?  Otherwise all the crap coming out of your mouth should only happen when someone squeezes your head.

What’s the MSM narrative for this disaster?

Wrong President?

On the other hand we made great strides in knowledge about our planet, CO₂ and how to stop Global Cooling in just 15 short years. No one in the 70’s could or would have thought that manipulation of certain expelled gases could bake a planet.

Noted Climatologist, Physicist and Inventor Dr. Albert Gore, sundered a molecule of carbon dioxide with a hockey stick inhibiting Global Cooling. Unfortunately, the effect of Newton’s Third Law immediately became apparent; Dr Gore’s meddling ignited Global Heating. In his first alarm, he warned, “The Earth has a Fever.”
Now, Dr. Gore wishes to give the planet an enema; here’s how

[snip]
Now that AGW is revealed as a farce, will big-spending politicians in the U.S. Senate halt efforts to impose a cap-and-trade system to ostensibly combat greenhouse gases and global warming? Of course not. Cap and trade is about raising taxes and increasing government control over our entire economy. Our socialist politicians in Washington will never stop pushing this issue, even if global-warming alarmism is disproven to the point that Hell really does freeze over. [snip]

What Dr Michael Mann and the Poobah of Polar Bear Peril Dr “Doolittle” Gore decided to was flat out lie, simple as that, LIE!

[snip]
The Earth is now into a new cooling cycle that began in 1998 and which meteorologists predict will last for several decades. What they won’t tell you is that they have their fingers crossed that it does not, in fact, signal a new Ice Age. The period between ice ages is about 11,500 years and the Earth is at the end of the interglacial period that has allowed for the rise of human civilization in the past five thousand years or so.  [snip]

Earth Day is about the Eco-Nazis…

[snip]
[]…declaring the polar bear endangered was “necessary to stop harmful activities such as oil drilling.” So I guess it doesn’t get any more plain than that. [snip]

The Sierra Club is lying. The Natural Resources Defense Council is lying. The World Wildlife Fund is lying. They could care less about polar bears. Their objective is shutting off access to anywhere that has oil or natural gas reserves. [snip]

And that is what Earth Day has become. A stolen day, usurped by the watermelons. Here’s some more quotes from back in the 70’s:

We must make this an insecure and inhospitable place for capitalists and their projects…. We must reclaim the roads and plowed land, halt dam construction, tear down existing dams, free shackled rivers and return to wilderness millions of tens of millions of acres of presently settled land.
—David Foreman, Earth First!

The only hope for the world is to make sure there is not another United States: We can’t let other countries have the same number of cars, the amount of industrialization, we have in the U.S. We have to stop these Third World countries right where they are. And it is important to the rest of the world to make sure that they don’t suffer economically by virtue of our stopping them.
—Michael Oppenheimer, Environmental Defense Fund

Everything we have developed over the last 100 years should be destroyed.
—Pentti Linkola

Doesn’t this still sound familiar?
Carol Browner, Obama’s pick for the EPA spews this bilge with regularity.

Watermelons, one and ALL!

 
Anybody have family or friends caught in the Great Gaia Travel Stoppage. Wasn’t it just swell?
No freight shipping, FedEx and UPS stymied. BMW slowed the assembly line in Greer, SC. Gotta love it!

Polluting BIG AIR at least lost huge money. Screw the thousands of those swells stuck in Europe.
Welcome to Obama’s CAP & TRADE, the Gorite idea of alternative travel.
Go GREEN-Grow WINGS!

This is CAP & TAX travel with BIG AIR flying maybe twice a day and costing so much YOU cannot afford to use it. Fuel at 5X current price; taxes triple current with ticket prices to match. Think not; Obama betting on it.

KILL BIG OIL and petroleum based fuels.
GREEN IS RED!
