GM = Government Motors

"NEW YORK, March 30 -- After ousting General Motors' chief executive, President Obama warned Monday that bankruptcy may be unavoidable for two American automotive giants. -WASHINGTON POST

Senator Bob Corker I think has it right

"This is a marked departure from the past, truly breathtaking, and should send a chill through all Americans who believe in free enterprise," Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), who sits on the Senate Banking Committee, said in a statement. "Firing Rick Wagoner is a sideshow to distract us from the fact that the administration has no progress to announce today."

Benneto Mussolini is smiling in Hell!

OBAMANATION: No "E" in DHS enforcement!

From the Washington Post:
"Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has delayed a series of proposed immigration raids and other enforcement actions at U.S. workplaces in recent weeks, asking agents in her department to apply more scrutiny to the selection and investigation of targets as well as the timing of raids, federal officials said."

In other words slow down and cutback on enforcement. Now why would Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano try to delay and cutback on enforcement of our nation's laws?

"The raids have enraged Latino community and religious leaders, immigrant advocates and civil liberties groups important to the Democratic base, who have stepped up pressure on Obama to stop them."

Wuups there it is! So it's not really about enforcing U.S. laws and doing what's right for the country it's about doing what right for the Democratic Party. I wish the Obama administration would come to it's senses and understand that enforcement is not the problem when it comes to illegal immigration. It's the lack of enforcement that is the cause of the problem! Or as Leigh H. Winchell, the ICE special agent in charge in Seattle, wrote in an e-mail to his staff :

"You did nothing wrong and you did everything right," "I cannot control the politics that take place with these types of situations, but I can remind you that you are great servants of this country and this agency."

Mr. Leigh is spot on about the dedicated ICE agents. I wish I could say the same about Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and the Obama Administration.

Seize the ????

"The Obama administration is considering asking Congress to give the Treasury secretary unprecedented powers to initiate the seizure of non-bank financial companies, such as large insurers, investment firms and hedge funds, whose collapse would damage the broader economy, according to an administration document." - Washington Post

File this under what the F?

CENSUS?: DON'T COUNT ON IT!

From today's Washington Post:

"Amid fears that millions of people may be overlooked during next year's census, the Census Bureau will launch a $250 million promotional campaign to encourage participation in the decennial head count, especially among hard-to-reach minority groups in urban areas."

This is of course one of the reason's why the Whitehouse wants control of the census. Meanwhile the liberal mainstream media ignores the issue that the Obama administration will be using his radical friends at ACORN as temporary workers to help conduct the census. You know the ones who submitted all those fraudulent voter registration forms. Hola suckers!

How about starting with this crowd of illegals 1500 miles from the southern border. Have Immigration Customs and Enforcement pick them up and count them as they deport them. We'd be taking care of two problems at once. Yes we can!

A TAXPAYERS'S CRAP SANDWICH

Tim Geithner is expected to announce today the Obama administration's Taxpayer's crap sandwich where we will taxpayers be buying up the "bad assets" aka failed sub prime loans that the banks gave out because of their greed and activist's groups like ACORN pushed because of their social agenda. Of course President Obama did not mention the latter part of the problem on his 60 minutes appearance last night.

Smells like ACORN

From th AP:
"FAIRFIELD, Conn. (Mar. 21) - A busload of activists representing working- and middle-class families paid visits Saturday to the lavish homes of American International Group executives to protest the tens of millions of dollars in bonuses awarded by the struggling insurance company after it received a massive federal bailout. "

The AP never identifies these activists wonder if they are Obama's radical friends from ACORN?

Obamanomics: AIG Bonus addition

President Obama is shocked that some people at AIG were given bonuses totaling $160 million dollars. He's either lying or has no clue what members of his administration are doing. Meanwhile the idiots in Congress retroactively impose a 90% tax on those bonuses which were legally given out. Which is a scary proposition for those of us who pay taxes. Meanwhile, Senator Chris Dodd who originally had a provision in the "Stimulus Bill" that would limit these bonuses but, the Obama administration had him take those restrictions. He's not the only one who was boondoggled by the Obama administration:

"The culprit behind the killing of the Wyden provision remains unsolved -- but Dodd fingering Treasury adds weight to Wyden's sense that members of Obama's economic team were behind the elimination of his amendment. And, in both cases, major decisions involving taxpayer money were carried out in a way that flies not in the face of fairness, but in the face of the administration's promises of transparency and accountability." -Huffington Post

So with Obama like his predecessor George W. Bush the questions remain he is he lying about knowing about the bonuses or clueless about what it is going in his administration. Obama should know that he can no longer escape the issues and accountability by speeches. Because they are becoming just words.

Obama and Dodd got their AIG bonuses

My my from "the when you wonder why things happen file". Take a look which two politicians got the most money from AIG in 2008: Why it's:

Barack Obama

Chris Dodd

File this info in the "Hello Suckers" file! Yeah they are outraged over the AIG bonuses. All they got was a measely hundred thousand dollars.

Liberal Dumbocrat Pelosi enforcing U.S. law is "un-American"

"Nancy Pelosi says enforcing immigration laws is “un-American” -Michelle Malkin

What's the word I am looking for to describe her? Idiot! Just won't do.

Capitol shock over AIG bonuses

Barack Obama and others is hopping mad over $167 million dollars in bonuses that are to be paid to employees of AIG. Like the famous scene from Casablanca he and other pols in Washington are shocked that there is greed in the financial industry. He has instructed his "gelt" boy to try and stop it. My advice is don't hold your breath waiting for this.

"President Obama's apparent inability to block executive bonuses at insurance giant AIG has dealt a sharp blow to his young administration and is threatening to derail both public and congressional support for his ambitious political agenda. "-Washington Post

The question many of us taxpayers are asking is why is AIG still around as a company? Why was it not forced into bankruptcy? Could it be that pols like Nancy Pelosi and John Kerry who own stock in AIG still have a chance of gettting some of their money out as long as we taxpayers keep the company on life support using taxpayers dollars?

Bad news on AIDS in DC

From Today's Washington Post:

"At least 3 percent of District residents have HIV or AIDS, a total that far surpasses the 1 percent threshold that constitutes a "generalized and severe" epidemic, according to a report scheduled to be released by health officials tomorrow."

How bad is it?

"Our rates are higher than West Africa," said Shannon L. Hader, director of the District's HIV/AIDS Administration, who once led the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's work in Zimbabwe. "They're on par with Uganda and some parts of Kenya."

So after spending billions of taxpayer dollars spent on trying to educate people about the danger and spread of aids what does Washington D.C.'s Mayor Fenty conclude?

"You have this problem affecting us, and you tell people how serious it is and it literally goes in one ear and out the other."

What is to be done? President Obama and the liberals will probably try and throw more taxpayer dollars at "education" about AIDS. Yeah, like that has worked in the past. Then the gay community will organize yet another bike ride somewhere. It won't help either but, it will make them feel good.

Mo money Obama & the Audacity of B.S.

"I am signing an imperfect omnibus bill because it is necessary for the ongoing functions of government," -President Obama

What B.S.! President Obama did not have to sign this "imperfect bill" Omnibus spending bill that increases costs to us taxpayers by 8% over last year budget. He could have vetoed it and Congress could have passed a continuing resolution to fund the government at the current rate. Not a bad idea since he has already spent over a trillion dollars in his first fifty days as President. Then he had the audacity to issue a signing statement something he criticised George Bush for doing. Here is the money quote from the AP:

"Two days after criticizing his predecessor for issuing guidelines on how to put legislation into
practice, President Barack Obama issued such a directive himself."

It's not change but, hypocrisy that Obama has bought to Washington.

Obama Foreclosure Follies II

While President Obama is sensitive to being asked if he is a "socialist" he still continues to push to spend 87 billion taxpayer dollars to stop foreclosures which also provides money for his "activist" friends in groups like ACORN. Elsewhere market forces are working to decrease the amount of foreclosed houses without using tax payer dollars. Exhibit A:

It seems the Obama Administration is more concerned with throwing more taxpayer money at the foreclosure problem even when market forces are working to correct it without costing us taxpayers more money.

STIMULUS MONEY QUOTE OF THE DAY

From Today's Washington Post:

"When [the stimulus] runs out, we're going to be in a world of hurt . . . so I'd rather see this go into a fund that we would not be able to access except for emergencies," he said. "While this is a 'stimulus' package, that's not how I run my personal life. I don't know a whole lot of people who go out and spend if they realize that in two years they're not going to have money."

A least there are some people who are looking down the road to see what's coming.

Sol Obama?

Not quite sure to make of this action. The New York Times asked Barack Obama flat out if he was a socialist. He said no. But, that did not stop him a few hours later calling up the Times again to reiterate that he was not. Hmmmm.

SOME REAL BEER CAN POLITICS

How Obama's tax plan really works....Let's talk beer!

OBAMA'S FORECLOSURE FOLLIES! OUR TAX DOLLARS!

Hello fellow sucker taxpayers! Remember Stanley Johnson?



Well President Obama is going to help him and millions of others using about 75 billion of our taxpayer dollars to bailout the lenders and borrowers who made and got loans that should have never been made in the first place. And guess who is going to help pay for this foreclosure bailout plan. Yes you and me the responsible tax payers!

Here is what President Obama said:
" We have launched a housing plan that will help responsible families facing the threat of foreclosure lower their monthly payments and refinance their mortgages. It's a plan that won't help speculators or that neighbor down the street who bought a house he could never hope to afford."

Oh yeah Mr. President? The Associated Press has Ben Bernanke telling us something completly different:

"AP, Feb. 25: Defending the program Tuesday at a Senate hearing, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said it's important to save those who made bad calls, for the greater good. He likened it to calling the fire department to put out a blaze caused by someone smoking in bed. "I think the smart way to deal with a situation like that is to put out the fire, save him from his own consequences of his own action but then, going forward, enact penalties and set tougher rules about smoking in bed."

No Mr. Bernanke the person who is smoking in bed deserves to get burned. You don't just toss the cigarette to us taxpayers who just happen to live next door and think everything will be fine.

Then there is this ends justify the means rational from Sheila Bair:

"I think it's just simply impractical to try to do a forensic analysis of each and every one of these delinquent loans," she told NPR.

Wait a minute! You don't think it's practical to look at these loans. Isn't that how the banks got into this mess in the first place? But, there's more to this idiotic logic.

And, Bair added, it's in the "collective economic interest" to not have more foreclosed homes on the market. "To try to punish all of those parties now by foreclosing on more homes, putting more families on the street, putting more houses onto the inventory, creating more downward pressure on home prices when you have so much inventory on the market right now. Is that in our collective economic interest to do that? I just don't think that it is."

That's the problem with people like this in the Obama administration they don't think! While foreclosure is certainly bad for the reckless borrowers and the banks who gave out the loans. Having us responsible taxpayers bail this bad behavior is not the answer. Let the foreclosures happen and then there will be opportunities for more responsible people to get into these homes. People like:

Lynn Powers, 39, a Bethesda, Md., resident who describes herself as a “liberal Democrat” who has been hardworking, prudent and responsible — and now feels “like a fool."“We were in the market,” she says. “We put out eight bids and got outbid every time. It was very upsetting for us. I want to see some accountability and responsibility across the board. The only way for me to have an affordable home, and I’m not looking for a McMansion at all, is if we let the chips fall, in a sense. This is still the bubble — the prices have to come down. You can’t just subsidize some of the people. I don’t know how you deleverage. It is going to be painful, but this is also hurting the people who behaved responsibly.”
What does she mean by “responsibly”?

“People who didn’t overbuy. Who stuck to their guns. Who read their contracts,” she says. She and her husband wound up buying a 600-square-foot studio and moved to a rental when they had their daughter, now 18 months old.

“My husband and I paid for our cars in cash,” she says. “We have no credit card debt. We have no student loans. I don’t buy Starbucks, but that’s because they’re non-fair trade, nonenvironmental.”

When they tried to buy a house, she said, “We just felt outgunned.” And now, she says, “I feel very outgunned as a citizen.”

And she should feel out gunned. Her government is subsidizing the people who out bid her on some of those houses. Now when she and her husband might be able to grab a foreclosed property at a reasonable price the Obama administration is rigging the market. This chart from a TIME magazine article shows what has been happening due to the foreclosures.

The chart shows home prices approaching a more normal average so that responsible people like Lynn Powers and her husband can get another shot at being a homeowner. But, Obama's plan is to stop the foreclosures and so keep house prices artificially high.

I think this woman from Maryland pretty much sums up the feeling of many of us responsible taxpayers to Obama's misguided plan:

“I am an Obama supporter, campaigned for him, baked cookies for him; my husband and I are Democrats all the way, but this is the issue that gets our goat.”
Echoing Santelli’s complaint, a Silver Spring, Md., mom who did not want her name used adds: “I’m not sure why we should work and pay for someone else to have a granite countertop or an extra bathroom.” When asked about people who hadn’t overreached but had lost their down-?payment money when the value of their homes had dropped, she replies, “We put money in a 401(k), and we lost that money, and no one is going to give it back.”-Politico

Taking advice from Bush and Obama?

So after playing the fear card to get the Nancy Pelosi money Stimulus giveaway package passed. President Obama is now telling people to buy stocks. Nothing has changed in Washington. George W. Bush told us to go shopping after 9/11 and now Obama is telling us to buy stocks. Both spent money we don't have with their fiscal irresponsibility.

Dem taxes?

From today's Washington Post:

"Former Dallas mayor Ron Kirk, who is President Obama's nominee to be the U.S. trade representative, failed to pay almost $10,000 in taxes during the past three years because of a series of mistakes, the Senate Finance Committee said yesterday."

Let's see Congressman Charlie Rangel, Tom Daschle, and our "Treasury" Secretary Tim Geithner. It seems the Republicans may be right after all. The Democrats don't mind raising taxes because they never pay them! Between the trillion dollars of the Stimulus Bill, Bank Bailouts, and the Foreclosure Follies. Is it too much to ask of Obama's appointees to pay their taxes? I and many other taxpayers do.

TIME MAGAZINE: The usual suspects?

File this under: "You've got to be kidding?" Seems TIME magazine did an article of a list of the 25 most responsible to blame for the economic bailout mess. But, left off two prime suspects dumbocratic Senator Chris Dodd and Congressman Barney Frank. It seems they got quite a few letters complaining about this oversight in reporting.

Foreclosure Follies

As President Obama tries to move his $275 billion dollar foreclosure plan of robbing Peter to bailout Paul plan forward. His radical activist friends at ACORN are already taken the law into their own hands breaking into foreclosed houses like burglars and thieves. Michelle Malkin has the money quotes and the real "documented" story:

But a closer look at ACORN’s sob stories shows that the prototypical foreclosure “victims” by the Left don’t deserve an ounce of sympathy – or a cent of our money.
Earlier this week, ACORN activists broke into a foreclosed home in Baltimore. With a mob cheering and camera crew taping, ACORN leader Louis Beverly busted a padlock and jimmied the door open at 315 South Ellwood Ave. The home once belonged to restaurant worker Donna Hanks, who assailed her evil bank for raising her mortgage by $300 and leaving her on the street.
“This is our house now,” Beverly declared with Hanks by his side at the break-in. What ACORN didn’t tell you: Hanks’ house was sold in June 2008 for $192,000. She bought the two-story home in the summer of 2001 for $87,000. At some point during the next five years, she re-financed the original home loan for $270,000. Where did all that money go? (Hint: Think house-sized ATM.)
Baltimore ACORN leader Louis Beverly, who also claims to be a foreclosure victim himself, was charged with burglary for the break-in and released. He is literally a housing thug – having been charged with separate second-degree assault and property destruction charges earlier this year and battery, assault, handgun possession and possession of a deadly weapon with intent to injure in 1992; and slapped with a peace order issued against him in 2006.

Remember Obama and others talking about how foreclosed homes are the real problem. Well this foreclosed home that ACORN thugs broke into had already been sold and so was no longer part of the problem. It seems ACORN is part of the real problem with there criminal tactics.

President Obama's speech and the fiscal reality

Well President Obama has finally pulled out the "hope" speech out of his jacket pocket last night in the address to congress. Here are some of the money quotes:


"As soon as I took office, I asked this Congress to send me a recovery plan by President's Day that would put people back to work and put money in their pockets. Not because I believe in bigger government - I don't. Not because I'm not mindful of the massive debt we've inherited - I am. I called for action because the failure to do so would have cost more jobs and caused more hardships. In fact, a failure to act would have worsened our long-term deficit by assuring weak economic growth for years. That's why I pushed for quick action. And tonight, I am grateful that this Congress delivered, and pleased to say that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is now law." Yep! It's law alright. Before it was passed Obama was talking fear and "catastrophe". Now that we taxpayers are in hock for a trillion dollars Obama has pulled out the "hope" message out of his pocket. The first money from this bill will be going to the black hole of Medicaid. You know the program that in part pays for the illegal immigrants who use hospital emergency rooms as doctors offices. Hola suckers! How much is this "hope costing us taxpayers? Here is the Obama and Democratic talking point which Obama used again last night:

"Over the next two years, this plan will save or create 3.5 million jobs."

Hmm sounds good until you do the math and see that with a trillion dollar "stimulus bill" that works out to $285,714.00 per job. Oh yeah another thing President Obama and the Dems forget to tell us. That since there was no E-Verify provision in the Stimulus Bill it means that those jobs may not all go to U.S. citizens but, illegal immigrants could be hired to work on those infrastructure construction projects too. Hola Suckers again!

More Huffington Post hypocrisy!

Kurtz at the WAPO has the goods on a journalist jerk who created a You Tube clip making it appear that Fox News anchor John Gibson said something he did not about Attorney General Eric Holder. Here are the money quotes:


"A Baltimore television reporter has lost his job after acknowledging that he doctored a video to make it appear that Fox News Radio host John Gibson had made a racial slur.
In the bogus video, which was picked up across the Internet, Gibson seemed to be comparing Attorney General Eric Holder to a monkey with a "bright blue scrotum." There had been chatter on Fox News earlier about such a monkey, which had escaped from a Seattle zoo.
A spokeswoman for WBAL-TV confirmed yesterday that technology reporter John Sanders is no longer employed by the station but she declined to comment on whether he had been dismissed. His profile was promptly removed from the NBC affiliate's Web site. "



But even more outrageous is the liberals at the Huffington Post ran with this story. After so many years lambasted Fox News for it's bias the Huff Post now has egg on it's face. As John Gibson correctly notes:


"My ire in this situation is directed at the Huffington Post," Gibson said. "I really think this would have been very easy to check. A kid made a mistake and did something goofy, fine. But these guys [at the Huffington Post] claim to be and are regarded by many as a legitimate news organization. It spoke to their bias against me that they went ahead with it."

Hooray for Huffington?

The Huffington Post headline today is "SLUMDOG SWEEPS". And this is important to me because? Only a LA California based blog like Huffington would consider this news. When in fact to most people what happens in Hollywood does not affect most peoples lives.

Vickie Iseman vs The New York Slime

Carlos Slim the Mexican Billionaire must be breathing a sigh of relief. As it seems none of the 250 million he recently provided to bailout the New York Times will not be going to pay lobbyist Vickie Iseman in a defamation suit. It was a feeble attempt by the paper to slime John McCain by insinuating that he had been having an affair with Univision Lobbyist Vickie Iseman. This of course was nonsense! As is increasingly the case the New York Times and other elites in the media they ignored the real story. Make no mistake people were getting screwed by McCain but, it was the American people. As the Mickey Kaus pointed out:

"Former Univision CEO, controlling shareholder and Iseman client Jerrold Perenchio is a National FInance Co-Chair of McCain's campaign. Presumably he brings in more than $85,000; b) The worry isn't that McCain was taking advantage of Univision, et. al. It's rather the other way around. Or, more precisely, that this was a smarmy, mutually self-interested alliance that helped McCain and Univision in ways that maybe went beyond promoting the national interest. "


That's the real scandal behind this story. It is about the lobbist influence on McCain and explains the real reason why he is always pushing for amnesty for the millions of illegal immigrants (the majority Hispanic). He is shilling for his friends at the Spanish language network Univision and making sure that the audience and Univision's revenue do not head south.

Of course the New York Times completely missed the connection or just ignored it. Just another example of why they continue to go downhill in their reporting and readership.

The Stimulus money is green but, is Obama?

So let me get this straight after Obama used fear to get his and the Democratic Stimulus Bill passed fast or there would be a "catastrophe". He then delays the signing by a day. So much for urgency. But, not only that he is going to take Air Force one and fly over halfway across the country to sign the bill. Huh? How much is that going to cost in fuel, security and carbon in the atmosphere to fly the Presidents plane to Denver? How about he just stay in the White House and sign it at the desk. Oh, that's right it would not make for a big photo op if he stayed in Washington.

No E-Verify in Stimulus Bill! Hola suckers!

You would think it would be a no-brainer for Congress which is about to spend hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars on the Stimulus Bill job creation programs would make sure that those jobs would actually go to Americans. But, the dumbocrats like Pelosi and Reid Washington and even President Obama did not demand that E-Verify use it be included in the bill. So construction companies and other employers who will get some this money will be able to continue to hire illegal immigrants without checking if they are legally entitled to work here. That means less jobs for U.S. citizens and more money flowing out of the country. Roy Beck has the money quotes:

"All protections for U.S. workers were stripped from the Stimulus Bill tonight. Illegal aliens can be hired at the same rate as usual.
House Speaker Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Reid and the Obama White House were absolutely certain about one thing for the House/Senate negotiating committee on the Stimulus Bill:
There was to be no special restriction to keep illegal aliens from getting new jobs created by the bill at a cost of $250,000 to $500,000 each.The Democratic leadership of our federal government made it clear that there has been no change from eight years of a Republican White House that let the Chamber of Commerce call the shots on immigration.
Pelosi, Reid and Obama gave the U.S. Chamber of Commerce exactly what it wanted -- freedom for unscruplous businesses to continue to hire illegal aliens at the same rate as in the past, and to use the hundreds of billions of Stimulus dollars to do it."

File this info in the "Hola suckers" file and remember those politicians who voted for this Bill without protecting U.S. workers!

Obama meets the press.

President Obama had his first Presidential news conference last night and it was refreshing. He answered the questions well and was specific. A good start in my opinion. Still he was trying to put lipstick on a pig of a stimulus bill. Which he admits is still not perfect. There were some good points made that bringing energy efficiency to Federal buildings would not only create jobs but, would save money (for us taxpayers) down the road. He should expand that to exsisting local schools so that we taxpayers will also benefit from the savings too. This to me is a good idea. Along with making sure that teachers can teach and if they can't get rid of them. We don't have unlimited money to waste on anything.
I think his using the unemployment figures in Elkhart Indiana as an example of the fear mongering he is supposed to abhor. There's no doubt that Elkhart has a unfortunately high unemployment rate. That's why Obama's people choose to go there for the road show. But, what is not emphasised enough is the main industry in Elkhart is RV (Recreational Vehicles) that get something like 10 miles to the gallon. Well duh! That would be one product that U.S. citizens are not going to be buying in an economic downturn. Of course that industry will suffer. Companies stay in business by making products people want and need. Not by having the Federal Government just throw money out there and hope it hits something. I wish Obama and Congress would understand that.

Faith based Obama

Obama continues another program of George Bush. The "Faith Based Initiative". David Waters has the money quotes in the Washington Post:

"Candidate Obama didn't care for President Bush's 2002 executive order that allowed faith-based groups to discriminate in hiring and still get federal grants to run social programs. "If you get a federal grant, you can't use that grant money to proselytize to the people you help and you can't discriminate against them -- or against the people you hire -- on the basis of their religion," Obama said in Ohio last July.
So it was somewhat surprising last week when President Obama failed to rescind Bush's order when he announced the rules for his own White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships."

So much for change we can believe in as Obama fails to turn off the government money faucet flowing to religious organizations.

"The goal of the new faith-based initiative, Obama said at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, "will not be to favor one religious group over another -- or even religious groups over secular groups. It will simply be to work on behalf of those organizations that want to work on behalf of our communities, and to do so without blurring the line our Founders wisely drew between church and state."

Waters does a smack down of this argument.

But this line is blurry. How much blurrier (and more contentious) will it get when millions in federal funds start to flow"

Waters is quite right, The lines are already blurry thanks to George Bush and Obama is not doing anything to change that. The only question I have is will Obama follow through on his talk about transparency in Government when it comes to the Taxpayer dollars these "Faith Based" organizations receive? Will we taxpayers be able to see which get the money, how much and what they spend it on. Right now I have little faith we will.
