After the unemployment #’s came out this week all the Dems were touting happy days are here again … well maybe not happy days are here again but for SURE touting progress.
Let’s see. Unemployment was7.6% when Obama took office.
Now 4 years later with Obama and Dems controlling House/Senate for 2 years and WH and senate for 2 years … unemployment is 7.8% today.
Obama and Dems call this progress. Obama called it math in the debate. Jack calls it at best same ol same ol … but the math says O you haven’t made it back to square one yet much less ANY progress.
Also Obama says this is the “right direction.” If next unemployment #s go back up … will he say that is the “wrong direction.” Bet he STFU and beats a path back to the View to be more eye candy.
Attorney General Eric Holder ordered two federal prosecutors tonight to open criminal investigations into a series of national security leaks to the news media.
Holder appointed Ron Machen, the U.S. attorney for the District of Colombia, and Rod Rosenstein to lead the criminal investigations into recent leaks concerning a disrupted bomb plot by al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and a New York Times story about President Obama ordering cyber-attacks against Iran with the Stuxnet computer worm.
“These two highly-respected and experienced prosecutors will be directing separate investigations currently being conducted by the FBI,” Holder said in a statement. “I have every confidence in their abilities to doggedly follow the facts and the evidence in the pursuit of justice, wherever it leads.”
These national security leaks have been going on for months and months and now AFTER Democrats and Republicans called for congressional investigations he decides to keep it in house.
Eric Holder/DOJ refuses to comply with congressional investigation (Fast and Furious).
Eric Holder/DOJ has intervened at every step of the way in Obamacare case in courts.
Eric Holder/DOJ has intervened in every state case involved with voter ID.
Eric Holder/DOJ has intervened in every state case involved with immigration. Eric Holder/DOJ refuses to provide documents from jihadi investigation.
“On April 27, 2011, members of this committee asked you to give us information surrounding the decision by a justice to forgo prosecution of the unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation case. This is the largest terrorism finance case, of course, in U.S. history. You’ve refused to comply with this request,” Franks said to Holder.
…
“It’s hard for me to answer that question – ” Holder started.
“No it’s not. It’s not hard to answer. It’s will you or will you not,” Franks interrupted.
There are many more … these are just the highlights.
The tight U.S. economy has turned even essential goods into luxuries. Now consumer-goods companies are seeing something they thought would never come to pass: Parents are buying fewer diapers.
Spending on children has traditionally held steady in times of recession, including the most recent one, with parents sacrificing other items rather than scrimping on their children’s hygiene or happiness.
But as the economy continues to sputter, recent data show diaper sales are slowing and sales of diaper-rash ointment are rising.
And what are the MSM pushing. Same thing Jack is pushing. ABO (anything but Obama) Thing is ABO for MSM is saying it’s anything but Obama’s fault. Jack is saying he’ll take anybody but Obama come November elections.
What do all these women legislators have in common?
Well they are ALL women. They are ALL democrats. They are ALL sponsers of a bill that would make law … equal pay for women.
But here is the rub … they ALL pay their female staff less than their male staff.(some FAR less)
“Of the five senators who participated in Wednesday’s press conference—Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., Patty Murray, D-Wash, Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich, Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Barbara Boxer, D-Calif. —three pay their female staff members significantly less than male staffers,” WFB said.
Now Jack has no objection with paying females on par with male workers. But this is a case of … Do as I Say … NOT as I do because these women COULD pay their female staff equally with their male staff. THEY choose not to do so.
Another example is Al Gore. Jack has posted about this before. Al Gores footprint is the size of Texas and believe Jack … TEXAS is big. Al Gore could live small but he chooses NOT too.
The whole point is our legislators DEMANDING things of the citizens that they aren’t willing to do themselves. That’s a tuff sell to the public. It’s a no brainer to Jack. If you want him to do something for the better good of our nation YOU better be willing to do that same something also before he’ll even consider it.
When American families are cutting back on travel due to rising gas and food prices, President Obama should be considerate of the sacrifices millions of citizens are forced to make and adjust his travel plans accordingly. Statistics published by The Blaze note the Obama vacation to Hawaii last year cost approximately $4 million. Before the family trip to Hawaii, the Obama’s had already spent $10 million dollars of taxpayer money traveling to Vail, Colo.; Martha’s Vineyard, Mass.; and Spain.
Again Jack has no problem with people taking lavish vacations. But again … another example of Do as I Say … Not as I Do.
Ok you knew Jack was not going to end this on doom and gloom! Plus this pic is good for 1′000’s of hits from Islamic countries and keeping with the theme of … More Do as I Say … Not as I Do.
This is what Obama made (he’s made ALOT more since then).
In 2005, when Obama began serving in the U.S. Senate (and his daughters turned 4 and 7), he and his wife were earning a combined annual income of $479,062. Barack Obama was paid a salary of $162,100 by the U.S. taxpayers, and Michelle Obama was paid $316,962 to handle community affairs for the University of Chicago Medical Center.
Now Jack can say without a doubt 99% of wage earners would love that salary and live VERY well. They could live very comfortable, raise 2 or more kids … but Obama said “We didn’t have “the luxury” for Michelle to not work.”
Well Jack can see that Obama has a personal money management problem … so it makes perfect sense he has a problem managing the federal government … running up $$$,$$$,$$$,$$$ debt.
Jack says the US taxpaers don’t have the “luxury” of having Obama manage the US’s citizens money for another 4 years.
Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) is an electronic system that allows a recipient to authorize transfer of their government benefits from a Federal account to a retailer account to pay for products received. EBT is used in all 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam. EBT has been implemented in all States since June of 2004.
Jack promises he won’t buy beer, cigs, lotto tickets, bet on the ponies or even pay for lap dances with that money.
Jack does not promise to not use the money for bail money if he gets arrested. Jack told Eric Holder he is one of “his people” and got the nod for the bail money.
ps: ok ok … jack would use the card at a strip club if they had ATM and the gal was extremely robust.
“If someone wants to build a new coal-fired power plant they can, but it will bankrupt them because they will be charged a huge sum for all the greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.”
-Candidate Barack Obama, 2008.
Coal must not be in that “ALL of the above energy policy.”
IRS has an office in the building where Jack works. They are open for six hours, three days a week and this is during peek tax time. Also you have to have an appointment to see them. Here’s a suggestion … work more hours and allow walk-ins!
Here’s another … change the tax codes that EVERYONE pays a flat tax. ?% of your salary for EVERYONE. Yes even the 49.5% of Americans that pay no tax at all!
Jack recieved the audio book Bio of Steve Jobs as a christmas present this year. The Bob Dylan classic was one if not Steve Jobs favorite. Nothing could still be truer than … These Times are Changing. From America to Europe to Africa to Middle East to North Korea even to a little rock in middle of Mediterranean.
What Jack came away from Jobs bio was what a prick he was ! Jack can accept that in his business dealings. Thing is he was a prick in his personal life also. Steve Jobs was not a nice guy. Steve jobs was not a good father. Steve Jobs was not a good husband. WHY? Because Steve Jobs had only one thing that was really important to him … the PRODUCTS!
Now the ME/muslim world is going through dramatic change in some ways today. Every muslim that has removed the prick they had as ruler is changing. Thing is they are changing BACK to the 7th century NOT going forward into the future. They are going back to the basics of good ol Islam. Implementing ol time sharia (cutting of thiefs hands, stoning, killing off of other religions) … that is their change. The world was all giddy with the overthrough of the tyrants. Jack thought to himself … when muslims get the chance to elect what they want … it will be Islam and it won’t be pretty. That is coming true before the world today and it’s getting uglier by the day. 2012 is going to be a wild ride from the elections here in the US to elections all over the world.
Jack is almost to where he wants to be … RETIRED … If not late 2012 sometime in 2013. At that time Jack says … Let it Rain.
Until then … the one thing that has never changed.
For the Apple faithful God died October 5, 2011 and these times are changing.
Update: Kathleen needs to get up to Connecticut. The shit is on.
The Connecticut Department of Insurance approved Anthem’s request without changes, including a boost of as much as 22.9 percent just to comply with one provision: eliminating annual spending limits per customer. But it’s unclear how much more customers will pay because of the variety of plans and the complexity of other factors, such as a person’s age.
Original post:
Jack was going to say something about insurance since he will soon have to do open enrollment for his company provided health plan. He expects his plan to go up but Obamas health ZCAR Kathleen Sebelius has told Jack and all of us … to zip it up!
“There will be zero tolerance for this type of misinformation and unjustified rate increases.”
Privacy laws prevent release of individual tax delinquent’s names. But we do know that as of the end of 2009, 41 people inside Obama’s very own White House owe the government they’re allegedly running a total of $831,055 in back taxes. That would cover a lot of special chocolate desserts in the White House Mess.
Who would have thought when your boss was a tax cheat his employess would follow his lead?
And when it’s added it all up … $59,781,577.00 … A nice chunk of change.
The executive branch total for IRS delinquencies, with the White House included? A whopping $59,781,577 in back taxes.
It turns out Rangel had a credit union account worth at least $250,000 and maybe as much as $500,000 — and didn’t report it. He had investment accounts worth about the same, which he also didn’t report. Ditto for three pieces of property in New Jersey.
Beyond that, we’ve learned that Rangel has failed to report assets totaling more than $1 million on legally required financial disclosure forms going back to at least 2001.
The news comes on top of revelations last year that Rangel didn’t report — and didn’t pay taxes on — income from a villa in the Caribbean. In that matter, the Internal Revenue Service gave him sweetheart treatment; Rangel paid about $10,000 in back taxes but was not required to pay any penalty or interest.
Sweetheart deals are popping up all over the place. If his tax cheating was a one off thing honestly Jack wouldn’t think much of this. Charley Rangel has shown over many years that he has KNOWN, WILLINGLY and REPEATLY cheated on his taxes yet he gets a sweetheart deal.
How can these people continue to be re-elected? It would be different if the voting public didn’t know these crooks were CROOKS!
Jack wants wants one … dammit! Not a chance in hell that this would pass that would put Jack and the ordinary tax payer on par with the likes of Charlie Rangel.
Thus the “Rangel Rule.” Under H.R. 735, if you’re caught cheating on your taxes, you would pay what you owe, then write “Rangel Rule” at the top of your return, and you wouldn’t be charged any penalty or interest. That way, Carter said when he introduced the bill, ordinary taxpayers would be “treated with the same courtesy that, it seems, the IRS is treating the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee.”
Jack would like to thank Rep. John Carter, a Texas Republican for giving it a try for the little guy that the Democrats lie and say they protect. They protect their on … period! It’s time for Charlie the Rat Rangel to room with former Representative William J. Jefferson.
Come on Nancy Pelosi … do your job. Come on Eric Holder … do your job. Most of all if this was a Republican it would be 24/7 wall to wall coverage by MSM. Come on MSM … do your job … FAT CHANCE!
These politicians are NOT going to police themselves when fortunes are at their figertips for the taking. In poll after poll the public say the bums should be put out on the streets … if only the voting public would go to the polls on voting day and do just that.
Update:
Jack thinks it’s a miracle but it looks like Charlie Rangel will finally have to account for his ways. Well if he doesn’t cut a sweetheart deal that let’s him slide into retirement without any admission of guilt!
And if he is found to be guilty shouldn’t that sweetheart retirement be null and void. Especially since he’s probably already stole that much money from the public coffers!
Update: No miracle or kinda a miracle. What does Dems have in mind for punishment?
Slap on the hand … don’t do that anymore Charlie … or rather don’t get CAUGHT dammit!
