Obama’s so-called “Jobs Speech” is really “My record sucks, so let me blame the GOP instead Speech”



On Thursday as the country ramps up for the start of NFL football, President Barack Hussein Obama is gonma give a speech detailing his plan for jobs.



He of the 38% approval rating and falling desperately needs to hit a home run to set the United States back on the path of prosperity. (Don’t start laughing yet)



Obama is trying to re-write the definition of “insanity” (doing the same things over and over again expecting a different result) by proposing a new “stimulus plan” that will hopefully take a big chunk out of a 9% unemployment rate. (Don’t start laughing yet)



So why would Obama propose more stimulus spending if his first whack at it didn’t work? The answer is pretty simple to understand and most Americans, except for the “duh” Obama supporters, get it.



Obama can’t run on his major legislative achievement, e ObamaCare, because all the polls showed the people did not want it passed.



His administration failed to create jobs as a result of passing ObamaCare, overregulation of private industry, and his continued moratorium on oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico which killed jobs that industry.



Ubder Obama, more jobs have gone overseas than any other president in history.



For the first time in American history the country’s credit rating was downgraded under his watch.



In short Obama’s hostility toward the private sector and his desire to re-distribute wealth from the people who work for a living to the people who don’t work and sit on their asses all day, has become painfully obvious to the vast majority of the American people.







So, Obama on Thursday, with the help of his trusty teleprompter, is giving his 1,000th speech proposing more of the same “job killing” policies knowing the GOP will reject then. When that happens, this becomes Obama’s campaign issue for re-election in 2012.



In essence what Obama will say for his re-election bid:



“The Republicans are being obstructionist.”



“The Republicans are stepping in between you and news jobs.”



“The Republicans are playing the same old Washington games.”



“The Republicans want our seniors to ear dog food.”



“The Republicans want to take away your Social Security.”



“The Republicans want to take away your Medicare.”



“Remember, the Tea Party can go to Hell!”



“The Tea party wants to see you Lynched!”



“The Tea Party wants to see the 1st Black president fail!”



These are the kinds of things Obama’s campaign will basically be about because it has nothing else to offer but character assassination, deceit, misdirection, misinformation, or anything else to cast blame away his own front yard.









The Last Tradition is fast becoming one of the most popular political blogs on the net. Don’t miss out on the fun and tell a friend.

A Mets fan lament, the Willpons just won’t go away



As a Mets fan, I’m deeply disappointed hedge fund guru, David Einhorn and his $200 million walked away from the table to buy a minority interest in the team. For at least 4 months Mets fans had some hope that one Fred Wilpon and his idiot son Jeff would have to sell David control of the rest of the team.



But, it wasn’t to be with Fred mucking up the deal at the last minute. David had enough of the Wilpon bullshit and took a hike. So us Mets fans are back where we started with an owner that doesn’t have a clue and a son that’s equally clueless.



I bet if you give a Mets fan a choice of re-signing Jose Reyes or Fred Wilpos selling the team to Mark Cuban, 95% of Mets fans would say good-by Jose, it was nice knowing you!



Black folks need to look in the mirror and be honest with themselves



Look there goes the racist!



His name used to be Barry Goldwater, then the name changed to Ronald Reagan. After that he became George H.W. Bush, then George W. Bush.



From there the concept expanded and the racists became the “predatory lender” or the “Exxon Mobil”



Fast forward to today and the new racists are the Tea Party.



That’s all Democrat politicians like Maxine Waters have been saying to the ‘hood for the past 50 years and all the while schools in the inner city continue to fail. Black dropouts rates continue to increase. Illegitimate birth rate is over 70%.



But, hey as long as you let these Black Democrats tell you who the racists are and you continue to fall for the game and wonder why the fuck nothing changes, then who in all honesty are the ones sticking it up yo ass, the Tea Party or the Congressional Black Caucus?





Sunset at Citi Field



On a cozy August night, just me and my Mets at Citi Field.

No cares or worries, just baseball at sunset



Oh what a beautiful place this stadium is, an old fashion ballpark where you can feel like a kid again and marvel at the greatest game ever invented.

Nobody wants to be Katrinacized over Hurricane Irene





I don’t know how much longer I’ll be able to post before my electricity goes out. So let me get this off my chest.



I think the reaction of all the tri-state area politicians (New York, New Jersey, Connecticut) to be so over-the-top cautious is because they don’t want to be looked at as inept like New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco.



Of course the media in 2005 put all the responsibility for the lack of response to Hurricane Katrina on George Bush. It was done for purely political reasons to make Gorge Bush look bad because the media hated him.



How visible has President Obama been during Hurricane Irene? Not very. Have you heard the media complain about it? Don’t hold your breath because it’s the job of the media to make President Obama look good at all costs. So far, they’re doing a terrible job because an overwhelming majority of Americans have come to realize for themselves that Obama is just as incompetent as Ray Nagin and Kathleen Blanco were.



And what do these three incompetents have in common? They’re all Democrats.

Laura Ingraham vs. Charlie Rangel Battle Royale over whether or not Liberalism has hurt the black community



Has Liberalism helped the Black community?



That is the question the black community has to be honest with itself in answering.



If it doesn’t answer the question honestly, then 50 years from now the same complaints of high unemployment, failing schools, high dropout rate, and high illegitimate birth rate will be exactly the same in 2061 as it is today.



The change has to come from within each individual and not be dependent on the the government or the next man.









Let's be real here!



The only reason Charles Rangel, who was censured by the House for ethics violation, crawled out of his hole was because Allen West was dead on riht saying the Democrat Party has blacks on a 21st century plantation by blindly voting Democrat for the past 50 years.

What Maxine Waters and the African American community have to learn to reach political maturity

Story



Rep Maxine Waters, the Congressional Black Caucus, and members of the African American community are surprised that President Barack Obama didn’t visit any black neighborhoods on his “White Like Me” bus tour.



Here’s a teachable moment for all of you.



The reason Barack didn’t visit the ‘hood is because he knows he’s got the black vote on lock! So, why bother?



In fact, for the past 50 years the entire Democrat Party already knows they have the black vote nailed down and they continue to hoodwink black people by pulling the race card on Republicans to ensure the vote keep rolling in.



So don’t blame the player, blame the game that you fall for year in and year out.



Look! Rick Perry is a racist!



Look! Michele Backmann is a racist!



Look! Mitt Romney is a racist!



Now vote Democrat, shut up, and go away until we need you again in 4 years. And you better not complain that your unemployment rate is double the national average.



Don’t complain that your schools that we control, suck and your kids drop out.



You’re not supposed to think, just do what the fuck you’re told and vote Democrat. You dumbasses!



This is how the Dems truly feels about black people on the political plantations in every inner city in the country.



How long ya’ goona play the fool?













Rick Perry was more right than wrong on Ben Bernanke making the dollar weaker

What does it profit an American if he needs a wheel barrel of cash to buy a loaf of bread?



Texas Gov Rick Perry got roundly criticized by Liberal/Progressives commentators, the White House and some weak-kneed Republicans like Karl Rove for saying it would be treason if Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke flooded the economy with more printed money.



The America Heritage Dictionary defines “treason” the betrayal of one’s country by aiding an enemy.



Ben Bernanke’s chief responsibility as chairman of the Federal Reserve should be ensuring that the value of the American dollar remains strong. But, instead he floods the system with more and more dollars which eventually can lead to runaway inflation like we had in the 70s under Jimmy Carter’s failed presidency.



The value of the dollar has steadily fallen under Bernanke’s leadership.



There’s already been a debate in Europe and China to replace the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. How does this benefit the United States if that were to happen?



If inflation is the cruelest tax of all that hurts the poor the most, how does that not reflect poorly on Bernanke’s effectiveness as Fed chairman?



Who’s side is Bernanke on if China’s economy continues to grow by leaps and bounds as the United States remains stagnant at best, and he decides to devalues the money in everybody’s wallet even more?



Is he helping or hurting America?



The honest answer to all these questions is that Ben Bernanke policies have been just as detrimental as and potentially more dangerous for the country than Barack Obama’s.



But, the difference between Bernanke and Obama is that Bernanke should know better based on his education credentials. So if he should know and yet still wants to print more money, is it treason? Maybe not, but it’s clearly foolish with the people’s money.



Rick Perry was sounding an alarm based on simple economic theory that says flooding the system with money devalues the dollar even more. We’ve been fortunate thus far that the inflation bomb hasn’t gone off. But, that hasn’t stopped Bernanke from continuously lighting the fuse.



Memeorandum





Hey, David Gregory Michele Bachman doesn’t need the Gay vote to win the presidency. Deal with it!

Yesterday David Gregory, the subpar host of Meet the Press, tried desperately to knock Michele Bachmann off her game with a relentless series of questions concerning her views on Gays.



She stayed on message!



The truth is these questions were meant to marginalize Bachmann. But, it won’t work because all the GOP candidates share the same view that the Gay life style is an immoral way to live according to the Bible.



And all Christians are constitutionally protected to have that view without any guff coming from anybody who doesn’t like it.



It’s called religious freedom!



However, Liberals/Progressives, who really don’t have faith beliefs in a high power, other than Big Government can never seem to grasp this.



It’s a safe bet that most homosexuals won’t vote for Michele Bachmann. But, who cares really? The important issue here is that Barack Obama is a disaster for the country and the whole world knows it.



His approval rating is below 40% for the first time. He was elected in huge measure because of people like David Gregory and the rest of the main stream media perpetrating the biggest hoax in history that Barack Obama was something special.



Obama is just another garden variety radical Leftist with a chip on his shoulder. Nothing more, nothing less, and his days are numbered.









Chris Matthews doesn’t love Rick Perry: That means Perry is the right man to be president in 2012











Here’s the simple math concerning Chris Matthews or any other whacko Lib/Progressive host on MSNBC.



Whatever is the opposite opinion from what they argue, is 100% the right position for America. That’s why MNBC, although their ratings are around the same as CSPAN, is so instructive to watch if you want to learn how not to think.



You can tell in this video that Matthews is extremely afraid of Rick Perry kicking Barack Oabam out of the White House.























Matthews lives in a world of delusion where nothing makes sense other than their warped reality of a Utopian paradise as philosopher king.

Richard Forester (Robyn Gardner’s boyfriend-girl missing in Auraba) on Today Show , a pathetic example of a chump

Story



Picture this.



Your girlfriend goes to Aruba with another man and you didn’t know about it. That’s bad enough.



Now you find out that your girlfriend is missing and possibly dead. A real man would fly out to Aruba get involved the search or do whatever he has to find his woman, right?



Not Richard Forester!



He goes on the Today Show wearing a suit, looking all spiffy and talks to Matt Lauer on national TV. The man has no realization that now the world knows that he’s a punk with his girlfriend screwing another guy at an exotic locale like Aruba. And even Matt Lauer incredulously has to say, “You seem to know Robyn so well. But, she was in Aruba with another man.”



Where the hell is this guy’s dignity or self respect?



He really has no clue that he the biggest chump in the world. This is what passing for American manhood today? We’re really in big trouble as a nation.

UK riots prove that Liberalism/Progressivism is always doomed to fail

The UK riots are the uprising of the entitlement class!











When you create a society based on government dependence, sooner or later it falls apart. These rioters already have free health care, lifetime employment benefits and still cannot be sustained.



This is the kind of damage the false promises of Liberalism/Progressivism brings. These rioters in essence are shattered people with no dignity because they have been told for years by Liberals that everything under the sun is a “right” and they should have it. Why work when the government can take care of you and the evil rich can foot the bill?



The UK is Liberalism incarnate and look how ugly it gets when the “do nothing” generation feels entitled to take what they want.



Conservatism teaches self reliance, self control, faith in God, and the freedom to become anything you want as long as you’re willing to work for it and pay the price. It’s the philosophy of our Founding Fathers and it separates us from every other culture in the world. No other country has achieved what we have in the United States because of our unique American character.



But, as a nation we’re at a crossroads and we have to decide in 2012 if we’re returning to our core principles before it’s too late or do we become UK West?



President Obama believes in big government taking care of the needs of all the people. He believes in spreading the wealth because he thinks it’s only “fair”. What he promises is a lie and you only have to look at London burning before the eyes of the world tp see how much of a lie it is.





BUMPED: Riots in the UK points to America’s future if we don’t turn away from Obamaism



You won’t find any Liberal commentators admitting this, but the riots in the UK can be directly attributed to the breakdown of the kind of socialists programs Barack Obama wants to implement in the United States.



In the UK they have free healthcare, virtually unlimited welfare programs, and a large list of government freebees. As such, you have generation upon generation of British people that expect the government to take care of them from the cradle to the grave.



Under the weight of England’s astronomical social spending, the conservative British government is forced to take austerity measures to reduce spending and as a result these hoards of slothful people fueled by class warfare rhetoric are wilding out in streets.

This is the false hope of establishing a Socialist Utopia which the UK has become. It was bound to collapse like it always does in every country where it is tried.



Fortunately for us in the United States, the UK is 20 years ahead of us on the Socialism model. But, make no mistake we’re on the same glide path with Barack Obama as president. We have it in our hands to correct course and learn from our cousins across the ocean.



The 2012 election is the first step in stopping the madness.













S & P downgraded the U.S. because Obama is black!


Let me head off Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Shirley Jackson Lee or any of the other usual suspects that are routinely dispatched like clockwork by the Democrat Party to make this ridiculous claim.

I’m joking here!

The reason the U.S. was downgraded was because of the amount of our national debt, 16 trillion and climbing.

Both Republicans and Democrats came up with the stupid idea that our debt ceiling should be increased as a matter of course. In addition to this, they agreed on a bogus spending cut that is tantamount to throwing a Dixie cup of water on the fire that consumed half of Chicago in 1871.

So they solved nothing!

Even with this spending cut agreement, the national debt will continue to grow 1.5 trillion a year.

However, President Obama and the Democrats bear the biggest responsibility because it’s their outrageous spending: ObamaCare, Stimulus, Cash for Clunkers, free cell phones for the poor, extending unemployment to 99 weeks, and a host of other free giveaways to re-distribute our wealth that has America on the course of becoming Greece.

It’s Obama’s “only government” can solve our problems mentality that has this country in quicksand!

Like EF Hutton used to say, “Obama earned the downgrade!”

U.S. downgrade re-affirms that Barck Obana is serving Jimmy Carter’s 2nd term in office


Under the failed leadership of President Barack Hussein Obama, the United States for the first time in history has its credit downgraded by S & P.

This is an embarrassment for the country and should never have happened. But, when you elect a neophyte as president, bad things are bound to happen.

But, all is not lost for the country because just as we survived Jimmy Carter’s horrible presidency, we can also survive the equally horrid presidency of Barack Obama

As I often say, get back to Reagan principles and this country will be saved from destruction.


Listen to Reagan’s 1st inaugural. His words apply to today like a glove.

The real enemy of America is not the Tea Party, its Progressive/Liberal policies

Don’t fall for the misinformation being put out by Progressives with the help on the state-run media that paints the Tea Party as the enemy.

It’s a big lie repeated over and over again by the very people that are responsible for spending and taxing this country into near oblivion. In fact the amount of vitriol coming from The Left is proof that Tea Party is on the right track in returning the United States into a sound fiscally responsible status.

Progressive, who even lie about what they call themselves, i.e. Liberals, only care about taxing everything that moves, and spending the money on programs that create more government dependency. They don’t believe in freedom of the individual because they think people are stupid and need to be led by the nose by Harvard and Yale trained elites.
A Progressive’s worst nightmare is a highly educated and motivated populace with the drive to achieve great things WITHOUT the help of mother government.

That’s why they’ve made it their business to control every public school system in the nation to ensure that our most precious resource, our children are hopeless locked in failing schools. Keep the kids ignorant so they become more dependent on the state. Graduation rates for African Americans and Latinos are failing just the way Progressives want them to.

What does the Tea Party want?

They want America to strive, not just exist. They want greater freedom for all to create businesses, with the help of lower taxes, less government regulation that is hamstring the economy. The Tea Party want to increase opportunity, not stifle it.

That’s why Progressives must paint the Tea Party as monsters or even Terrorists because they see them as their biggest threat to crushing once and for all the Nanny State Progressives love so much.


Does Lawrence O’Donnell matter?

He’s the guy the powers at MSNBC slid into the 8:00 pm slot to compete against The O’Reily Factor on FOX.

Did you stop laughing yet?

I guess Larry is a nice enough guy, pretty decent actor when he’s not yelling or making snarky remarks about Sarah Palin. But, after watching him try to act cool and intellectual with his I-used-to-be-a-congressional staffer credentials, there isn’t much there there.

A trait that O’Donnell shares with other MSNBC hosts like Chris Matthews, Ed Shultz, Rachael “The Karate Kid” Maddow, and the recently added Al Sharpton, is that a show doesn’t go by without them having a segment on Sarah Palin, Fox News, The Tea Party, or their big favorite--Rush Limbaugh. In fact, if they didn’t have a Rush Limbaugh segment on every one of their shows they wouldn’t have enough material to fill an hour. However, not one program on FOX rarely if ever mentions anything going on MSNBC.

So, there isn’t much that Lawrence O’Donnell brings to the table other than the usual FOX envy. Maybe that’s why their ratings are so bad?

New York Depravity: Same Sex marriage begins today 7-24-11

I heard Mayor Mike Bloomberg say yesterday on the radio that the government doesn’t have any business deciding who can’t get married.

That’s really funny because I thought government is supposed to be for the people, of the people, and by the people.

As such the voters of New York State did not get the opportunity to voice their opinion at the ballot box like other states have.

This horrid decision was made by politicians in Albany with their mouths open and hands extended only too happy to be lobbied by Pro Gay Marriage groups with fat wallets.

Make no mistake; this was a sham of democracy!

In other states where Same Sex Marriage was put to a vote by the people, in every single one, even California, it was voted down.

But, Gov Andrew Cuomo, himself a person of dubious morale character ( i.e. fornication), did not want the people to decide. He preferred the issue be settled by one of the most dysfunctional and corrupt state legislatures in the country.

So the fix was in!

As a result, millions of New Yorkers have been disenfranchised.

So believe not that this is a happy day for the majority of New Yorkers. It’s a travesty of our political system to sooth the souls of yet another minority that seeks the state’s stamp of approval for their lifestyle.

It’s was never about marriage equality. That’s just a bunch of smoke to fool the people.



A historic change in New York: Same sex marriage is now legal

Syracuse.com

In 1988, Monti Willett and Donna Stork, now of Fayetteville, were married by an Episcopal priest in Erie, Pa.

As far as the state of Pennsylvania was concerned, it didn’t count.

A few years later, after they moved to Colorado, they walked into Denver’s City Hall and got a certificate declaring them “companions.” It gave them no extra rights, but it at least acknowledged their relationship, Willett said.

Three years ago, when they were thinking of moving to New Jersey, they had another wedding there. It provided some legal protection, but still no official marriage.


Today, in Syracuse, their long quest for full recognition will end. The couple, who have been together for 42 years, plan to drive to City Hall and pick up a license for a marriage that will be entirely legal in the state of New York.

“It’s something I believe we should have been able to do right along,” said Willett, 64. “As far as I’m concerned, I am as married as I could be; we’ve made our vows to each other. But I do want the legal status.”

Couples will be claiming that status today across the state. Clerks’ offices in
Syracuse, Ithaca and a number of other cities and towns will be open for a historic piece of business — granting permission for gay and lesbian couples to enter into marriages equal in the state’s eyes to those of heterosexual couples.

New York will become the sixth and largest state in the nation to recognize those marriages, and many couples are eager to exercise their new rights.

Syracuse City Clerk John Copanas, whose office will be open on a Sunday for the first time in at least two decades, says he expects at least 15 to 20 couples to pick up licenses between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. A few are expected to seek waivers from the usual 24-hour waiting period and actually tie the knot today.

New ministers ordained to officiate at same-sex weddings around New York

New York Daily News

John DeLamar will stand before two of his closest friends tomorrow and proudly pronounce them newlyweds.

The 29-year-old has not officiated at a wedding before, and never had ambitions to become a minister, but New York's same-sex marriage bill changed all that.

"When gay marriage passed, I thought it would be great [to get ordained]," said DeLamar, who will conduct the service in a studio in midtown. "When my friends asked me to marry them, I was really moved. We've been fighting for gay marriage together - we marched on
Washington, we've been campaigning and pamphleting to get it approved. Marrying them is a great responsibility."

The
Brooklyn resident is one of an ever-growing number of New Yorkers who have chosen to become ministers via a simple online process since gay marriage passed the senate last month.

Some, like DeLamar, were approached by newly engaged friends to perform the ceremony.

Others wanted to show their support for the historic vote or ensure there are enough ministers on hand to cope with the increased demand.

"When the law passed, I felt there were so many people out there wanting to get married that I would sign up and be an option for them," said
Nancy McAlley, a registered nurse from Brewster, N.Y., who became ordained by the Universal Life Church Monastery just over a week ago.

She will qualify as an interfaith minister next summer, but did not want to wait that long to assist same-sex couples.
"I think gay couples deserve the same rights as straight couples," McAlley, 61, said. "I'm open to doing the ceremonies anywhere."

No more manned flights for America, America’s decline confirmed, and Barack Obama smiles







There’s no better metaphor for the decline of American exceptionalism than the reality we need to hitch a ride with the Russians to get to space.

This is totally unacceptable and embarrassing for those who love the country!

We have a president that doesn’t believe in American excpetionalsim and is purposely managing her decline with policies aimed at bankrupting the country so he and the Democrats can remake the devastation with even bigger government.

That is the plan and people better wake up to it before we become a third world nation


















This is not just about the last shuttle landing, it’s a sad millstone indicating when America stopped being America.
