Marxist Obama
In other news:
In the age of "unprecedented transparency" Obama's government is debating on how to give you bad news. You see, the bank stress tests aren't going very well, and Obama's government is concerned that the bad news is coming at the wrong time, which is why the both the timing and the nature of what will be said about the stress tests is being manipulated. The stress tests will contradict every falsely optimistic word spoken by Barry about the economy this past week. That's a fact - if the stress tests were going well, there would be no need for manipulation of information.
See, they think it is really important to tell you that JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, et. al. just profited in billions of dollars this past quarter, but you really shouldn't worry yourself with scary information on the horizon such a dozen banks potentially failing. which will make the economy collapse even further.
Among numerous laughable items attributable to the Obama administration, the promise of transparency is perhaps the most frequently broken promises.
I'm telling you this now, and heed this warning - this in particular isn't political and I'm saying this as a friend - with tax increases, several million jobs still to be lost, foreclosures ongoing now not just as a result in poor lending practices but job losses, steeply declining tax receipt projections (especially in NYS) despite punitive tax increases on "the rich," tens of TRILLIONS in future budget commitments with no rational way to pay for it, either with tax increases or future borrowing - I hate saying this to you but we're in deep, deep trouble and we aren't likely coming out of it anytime soon. Some think they will simply monetize the debt, meaning rampant inflation. Oops - that's another topic - our money supply has tripled only in 6 months, it's never been higher. Rampant inflation, maybe hyperinflation, is an inevitability based solely on the extra trillions already in reserve in the banking system. Cheers. :(
Next post - How can New Yorkers get a minimum 4% increase in their take home pay? Get the fuck out of New York State and move to Texas, Florida, or any other state that doesn't have income taxes whatsoever, not to mention a vastly superior quality of life, a vibrant private sector and a government with less of a predilection to treat you with contempt. Did you know that the state of Texas, by itself, accounted for 70% of the nation's private sector job growth last year? It is absolutely insane and a self-inflicted wound to stay in New York.

You'll appreciate this - check it out.
UPDATE: I thought I'd show you all the progress being made on my "roll up the rim to win" collection thus far, and a piece of candy with a name I couldn't believe... I bet Ralph Lauren's daughter keeps this in stock at her store in Manhattan.

"Making Work Pay"
The reduced withholding amounts will be in effect for the remainder of 2009 and 2010. You will not be required to complete new Forms W-4 to take advantage of the reduced federal withholding percentage.
You will likely notice, based on your marital status and number of dependents claimed for bi-weekly payroll, anywhere from $20.00 to $40.00 MORE in your net pay this week (and it will continue for 2009 and 2010). If you wish to NOT have this extra amount as "take home" pay and wish to resume having more taxes paid in to get a larger refund at next year's tax filing (2010), then be sure to let me know and I can provide you with the proper form to complete.
There will be no change to New York State tax withholding, as far as we know now.
I think my boss may be incorrect on that last point - sadly state withholdings will be going up, not down.
Anyway, here is your "tax cut," which is actually a "tax credit."

Terrell Owens
He's the classic "me" player - egotistical, mouthy, greedy, self-centered, with little regard for his teammates or the well-being of the team.
As a Bills fan, I expect that even T.O. isn't capable of destroying a franchise in one year. From a purely football perspective I think he's going to be a huge addition to our offense, but at what expense? T.O. has to know that his antics won't be tolerated here... if he doesn't he'll soon find out. The thing about T.O. is that he came from small town Alabama and an undistinguished athletics program (Tennessee - Chattanooga). He must have been really eager to shed his humility.

A most interesting development. It is good to see the Red March continues across Latin America, comrades! Possibly the only capitalist nation left south of our border (or, as some say, anywhere in the Western Hemisphere) is now Brazil - they just recently began expanding their offshore drilling, and this is the country with the highest application of biofuel in the world? In any case, this is no bullpoop - yes, Maruicio Funes, former CNN International correspondent and candidate for President of El Salvador is the current leader of the same Communist regime that the Reagan Administration fought back in the '80s, and he considers himself to be "El Salvador's Barack Obama." As the piece points out, he's even co-opted "si se puede." If you're curious, you can check out "Chairman" Funes on Facebook.
2. Barack Obama - Worst Gift Giving President In History?
This ain't political - let's lay out the facts and you can judge for yourself. Prime Minister Gordon Brown is a peculiar man to be sure, but he displayed deep consideration and thought in his array of gifts to the 44th President of the United States upon their first diplomatic meeting.
Please consider the following. The first gift - an ornamental desk-pen holder crafted from the timbers of a 19th century British anti-slaving ship, the HMS Gannet, which was subsequently renamed the HMS President. (That is such an amazing and meaningful gift not just to Barack Obama but to our nation, that I can barely stand it). The second gift - the framed commission for the HMS Resolute, a ship that our own U.S. Navy towed from the Arctic to London for the British. The same boat whose timbers were fashioned into the desk of President Rutherford B. Hayes, a gift from Queen Victoria, which is the desk that currently sits in the Oval Office. The third gift - a first edition of Sir Martin Gilbert's 7-volume biography of Sir Winston Churchill.
President Obama's gift in return? A 25-DVD collection of America's greatest films.
C'mon. Prime Minister Brown could have picked that up from Wal-Mart on the way to Andrews AFB. Barack Obama, what the hell is wrong with you? The British press is aflame with insult, and how could you blame them? This has nothing to do with politics - I have to say, I'm ashamed at that one. God bless the British and their sense of history... I can't think of another nation whose people could conceive of such thoughtful things to present to our President, much of which has to do with our long history together. We're close to the British and as far as diplomacy goes, in their eyes this was the diplomatic version of a glove-slap. So I'll diss the President in British fashion - in my view, Obama "bottled it!"

The 2% Illusion - Taxes and You
The general premise is that it will be impossible to tax the rich high enough in order to pay for Obama's spending concerns. I've been telling you guys this for a while - if taxes are going up for the rich, trust me, your tax hike will soon be following. Not to mention 45-55% of small business revenue. The article also mentions how the cap and trade idea will yield yet another steep de facto tax increase for all energy users.

Then again, the radio mullahs are calling Obama a Marxist. I would like to know how Obama advocates collective production and distribution. I would like to know where the violent uprising went. These comparisons are made for one reason only - to marginalize and attempt to pin evils on people in the most superficial way possible. That's why this shit is always distributed through e-mail chains. Heh.
(e:Z) - in particular I was referring to people like Peter Orszag, White House Budget Director, who when questioned about our spiraling debt he essentially responded, "What spiraling debt?" :::link::: That can't even be characterized as rose-colored glasses, but blinders. This is Obama's Budget Director - think about it. He has other transgressions on his record, telling people that the chance of a Fannie/Freddie bust was "3,000,000 to 1" and that the cost of a F&F failure would only be $2 million - an episode this article highlights as well.
Of course, his and Obama's answer to the criticism was "well, we inherited a deficit!" and expects that you are too stupid to realize what they are doing, their answer to the deficit is to triple down on the national debt. And, there isn't an economist on earth who thinks the USA will be averaging out 180,000 new jobs per month any time soon. We've already lost over 2,000,000 jobs this year and April isn't over yet, and the job losses are going to continue. THAT is the sort of false optimism coming from Obama's government I'm warning you about.
It seems that Godwin's Law is in operation in the political world.
The *real* liberals, and by that I mean the ridiculous hard cores like the folks still whining about Bush not being in jail, not the bandwagon fools who just want to fit in, they are skeptical of Obama being just like Bush. However, I really doubt that the intellectually unsupportable arguments concerning Bush being Hitler are going to be applied to him.
It's too bad, because I like President Obama as a man, and although I do think his administration is buffoonish so far I'm not going to start making bullshit nonsense arguments about the guy being Mao. Lol. That makes you no better than the people you rail against. You just fight bad ideas and concepts with good ideas and concepts. You point out how their arguments are unsupportable. I'm not going to be like them.

It is the right of every American to criticize the government. So I say "go for it, conservatives, give 'em hell" I find it deeply satisfying for some damn reason when the tactics of the left are effectively used against the left by the right in the political arena. Certainly, the left can't decry the protests since they do the very same thing.
On the other hand, some conservatives have said that it's "unAmerican" to criticize Bush 43 because the country is at war. Has peace broken out? Is the country no longer at war, so it is ok to criticize Obama? I think that by adopting liberal tactics, conservatives might be seen as political hypocrites worshiping at the altar of expediency in name of ideology.
I would love to see massive protests by the conservatives even if I don't agree with their viewpoints.
I think free speech is for everyone. Period. No if's, and's, but's.
