Illinois is borrowing money it will have to repay eventually to repay the pension money it already spent to pay for other spending it couldn’t afford then and can’t afford now.

It’s a good thing the US government isn’t run by the Chicago Democratic gang right? Right?

It looks like the Blackhawks aren’t the only team that will be ditching contracts.

Transparency never has been a reality from the current POTUS. You would have noticed this before the last Presidential election  if you had bothered to ask any questions rather than acting as part of Obama’s campaign team.

Oh, and for those of you on the left that think the Coast Guard is just working with BP on this, you may want to take the blinders off before you end up just being another useful idiot in November.

Obama has seen the light?

“We don’t have enough public dollars to fill the hole of private dollars that was created as a consequence of the crisis. It is only when the private sector starts to reinvest again; only when our businesses start hiring again and people start spending again and families start seeing improvement in their own lives again, that we’re going to have the kind of economy that we want,” Obama said.

Personally, I think he’s just trying to find out who the smart people are with the good ideas so he can buy them off and make them czars.

Coinciding with the jobs forum, organized labor and religious leaders in several cities sponsored events featuring unemployed and underemployed people to raise the public profile of the issue.

Those wouldn’t be the people that voted for Obama would it?

Are rich black people above the law? Maybe. DesireG gets all cranky for Obama and Gates “pimpin’ the moment.”

All I can say is that if this professor is what Harvard is using these days, I’m glad I went elsewhere.

UPDATE: The Major looks at the White House Beer Meeting.

I can’t help but think that as the NYT and CNN teams were reading this, they weren’t realizing it was mockery.

Also, can anyone else see a 22 year old Obama supporter asking all his friends why the reporter was writing that funny English?

Is Obamaism considered a cult yet?

Canada is on the whole a gentler, softer and more liberal nation — but there is also less freedom, opportunity, prosperity, competition and dynamism. Canada is well-loved by other nations — but the country has little diplomatic or military clout.

Personally, I would rather have Obama than Jack! but only if he comes in third place like Jack! I like Obama because he brings out the Hope and Change in the left rather than the regular despair and complaining. Sorta.
