Obama has spent 787 billion with faux positive results.
I watched the state of the union address last night (well at least part of it before I had to tune out).
I tire easily of watching “ants in her pants Nanc” chewing her cud.
I was not at all impressed with the throw a hand full of spaghetti at the ceiling and hope something sticks tactic used for this speech. The “glam” has certainly warn off if there ever was any for this US citizen regarding this President.
One could get whip lash trying to keep up with on again off again problem/solution diatribe. Not to mention the expected blame is always elsewhere.
Apparently “we the people” are suppose to be far to stupid to pick up on the FACTS that this NEW ADMINISTRATION FOR CHANGE somehow added to the problem to the tune of 787 billion in stimulus that has FAILED MISERABLY. I am not sure what the President considers this money stimulated … but US jobs certainly was not part of the equation. Perhaps it helped to stimulate the pocket books of his cronies? We have gone from 8% unemployment to over 10%. According to Obama HIS stimulus has saved or created over a million jobs. What kind of HINKY MATH do they teach at Harvard these days?
Personally as a mother and grandmother I was clued in on this “Johnny did it” routine long ago.
So now what?
Well the banks are the problem according to Obama. Oh my gosh he failed to include himself and his henchmen.
What a shock!
In reality banks do what they are suppose to do … take YOUR MONEY and loan (or not) it to others for a fee. I can actually remember when they did all of that responsibly.
That DID NOT include CEO’s getting millions in perks for FAILURE.
What is wrong with contingency clauses in pay contracts that say if your bank goes belly up you DON’T GET PAID?
So where did they go wrong.
Who dropped the ball here?
Who is responsible for the housing bubble (that so many claim caused this catastrophe) and who missed that was in the wings waiting to explode and why?
Ben Bernake perhaps?
Who else?
Let me keep this brief.
Obama owns a good share of the problems we face here in the USA.
He is not going to admit that but the bottom line is “we the people” understand this.
Enter stage right Scott Brown.
If that did not give the Democrats a left to the jaw (wake up call) perhaps they are more brain dead than they look already.
Apparently Obama did not get the message but then he gets to ride the gravy train for 3 more years. He can jack around continuing to DO NOTHING as usual while he looks for the next soapbox to leap upon and slap himself on the back before the public.
So now the solution (according to Obama) is to cap things that have already been raised sky high. Does any of this seem like slamming the barn door after the horse is gone?
How stupid do they think we are?
It turns out apparently not as stupid as they thought. Perhaps there is something to street smarts adding to the faux education’s coming out of the collages today (like Harvard).
Bernake was just confirmed for a second term by the Senate as head of the FED.
Who might be better suited?
I guess the answer is now left for a different day.

Bernakne was confirmed because Wall Street still needs time to divest from the dollar and the American economy before the shit hits the fan.
He was also confirmed because if a Austrian economist was confirmed the crash would be right now before the 2010 elections. It all about keeping the balls in the air long enough to consolidate the dictatorship.
