Obama: Unemployment to Continue to Rise

An Army reservist in Columbus claims that he doesn't have to go to Afghanistan because he believes in that dumbass "Obama doesn't have a birth certificate" theory.

 

House Democrats' health care bill will be introduced later this afternoon, and they want to pass it before they go on the August recess.  Republicans also have their own rival plan that further proves that they couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat.  Even the Washington Post is confirming that Obama is playing hardball to get his health care plan passed, comparing him to another thug President, Lyndon Johnson.  To pay for their health care plans, House Democrats plan to raise taxes on more than a million small businesses.

 

The economy is not recovering, and is worse than everybody thinks.  The "stimulus" has been a complete and utter failure, but not because they included worthless "tax cuts" like at least one Democrat claims.

 

In today's edition of "hope and change," President Obama said today that unemployment will continue to rise for several months.

 

The federal budget deficit hit $1 trillion yesterday.

 

Sonia Sotomayor said that her "wise Latina" comments were a botched attempt at inspirational speaking.  She also said that she can't be anti-gun because she has friends who hunt.  Judge Andrew Napolitano says that Sotomayor's biases will come out once she's on the Supreme Court.  Despite the fact that she is clearly a liberal and that a plurality of Americans still opposes her confirmation, I think the Republicans should just allow her to be confirmed without much of a fight, but just use this as a way to point out to the American people that elections mean things.  Besides, she sends a thrill up Chris Matthews' leg, which is at least entertaining, if not also disturbing.

 

Democrats are going to have a hard time explaining why it's a bad thing for the CIA to have a plan to kill members of al-Qaeda.  Isn't it a bad thing that the plan was never used?

 

Minority broadcasters want a bailout next.

 

The tax code is so convoluted that the government could probably increase revenues with a 0% tax rate.

 

How does $12 billion for community colleges stimulate the economy or create jobs?

 

A teleprompter panel broke at a White House speech yesterday afternoon.  I'm not sure how he finished his speech, because the broken panel was on his left.  He's not very good at looking to his right.

 

Your tax dollars at work:  Georgia State University will get an $800,000 grant to study bullying in schools.

 

Jim Marshall has a good idea:  put nuclear power plants on military bases.

 

The Warner Robins City Council is considering an increase to the hotel tax.  Hotel owners in Byron and Perry are excited.
