OBAMA’S & REID’S NEW JOBS STRATEGY MORE “IN YOUR FACE” DISGRACE


President Obama’s extravagant stimulus package that he labeled a “jobs bill” was turned down even by his own party in the Senate last week.  No one wants the $447 billion (plus) costs associated with a stimulus that has already failed.  In spite of the pushback, Obama and Reid have devised an “in your face” strategy to pass the stimulus package on a piecemeal basis, one new bill per week, until the entire package is passed.  The first piece involves $35 billion to states to rehire teachers and first responders. 

COMMENTS:
It’s easy to see that they have chosen what would appear to be the most palatable piece to lead off the attack.  They don’t mention that this $35 billion would have to be spent again next year and the year after to keep these people employed.  They are attacking the symptom without addressing the problem.  And, they’re doing all of this in the face of the majority of Americans who are sick and tired of stupid spending on ill-thought-out schemes while millions of people are gravitating toward absolute poverty.  I for one am sick and tired of all of the bullshit. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Why are we sending troops to Uganda?  This goes beyond being policeman for the world.  This smacks of American imperialism.  (Jake ~ Marietta, GA)
A. There’s no doubt that the Ugandans can use help, but 160 troops are not exactly help.  There are other countries in that area which need help as well; why Uganda instead of them?  Finally, we have a huge problem along our southern border.  When are we going to put troops there and attend to our own national security?  I agree with your concerns. 

Q. Why haven’t the Aruban police charged Gary Giordano with the murder of Robyn Gardner?  (Brenda ~ Redding, CA)
A. The police there are obviously inept.  I have been saying ever since the Natalie Holloway case that any American who travels to Aruba, particularly a woman, should have their dead examined; it’s dangerous.   

Q. I see the White House is refusing to respond to subpoenas regarding the Solyndra scandal.  How can they get away with that?  (Marlo ~ Long Beach, CA)
A. Executive Privilege.  Virtually all Presidents since Nixon have used it at least once.  It’s also referred to as “stonewalling” and, in Obama's case, "Electile Dysfunction."     

TODAY’S QUOTE:
From Watergate we learned what generations before us have known; our Constitution works. And during Watergate years it was interpreted again so as to reaffirm that no one - absolutely no one - is above the law. ~ Leon Jaworski
