Obama wants to create jobs, here’s another suggestion: SPREAD THE WEALTH Now, that alone should appeal to Obama. But, as with all ideological one-liners, it needs some substance to it. “Change” sounded great, but people are realizing now without specifics, whether ignored or not mentioned, it doesn’t do anyone much good. With spreading the wealth, [...]

A few days ago Obama told a crowd in Michigan that the stimulus was working. Then the jobs claims showed people weren’t being hired. Now the housing market is taking a hit: New U.S. Homes Sales Plunged to Record Low in January This is what it’s looked like since Obama took over: Jan 2009 24 [...]

Penn State University was checking into the ethics of Michael Mann after it was revealed his hockey stick theory was most likely contrived. They announced their investigation. Obama gave Mann $541,000 in stimulus money to do what he’s always done, no questions asked. Penn State dropped their investigation citing lack of evidence. Inquiry Report: Concerning [...]

This is so amazingly stupid I don’t even know where to begin. The New York Post ran a cartoon intermingling the events of the violent monkey getting shot in Connecticut and the recent stimulus bill.

There are basically three steps to passign any legislation. They vote on it. If it passes, and there are differences, it’s those differences are reconciled in conference. The amended legislation is then voted on again. If it passes, the President signs it and it is done. Before the initial round of voting, Harry Reid stated [...]
