Right, so the best way to get through a hurricane is instead of sailing around it,  sail right into it.

I get it now.

3 This is the third time he's made this statement in a week. He thinks if he keeps saying it, it'll come true. I guess. ?? Who the hell knows.

In other news...Pres. Pitching Wedge.....love it!

Although now I officially hate my handle. Obama has ruined golf for me. And I am channeling my inner O when I say it is really all about meeeeeeee!!!11!!!!

7 President Pitching Wedge: "Absolutely Clear" Economy Is Heading In The Right Direction

Well total collapse of the capitalistic system is the first step in converting to Communism according to the definitive guide.

8 President Pitching Wedge? Not to get too golf-geeky, but I'm thinking President Shank, President Wormburner or President Duck-hook. His golf swing is hideous. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) But for someone who plays as much golf as he does, jesus, get yourself some lessons, dude.

Obama has obviously never heard of the 1-2-3 Mariners Rule concerning storms at sea.

10 "Meanwhile, Obama posts the third-biggest single-day debt increase in American history."

Cheapskate.

11 How can he keep saying this kind of shit? Even his own supporters say he is lying now. Sure the damn fools still support him but they know he is a chronic liar.

12

But what is absolutely clear is that we are headed in the right direction

Straight to Hell, just as I directed him to do.

How about President John Daly ? Instead of actually playing golf, talk about how good he can play golf and sell t-shirts outside in the parking lot with a beer in his hand.

14 And with the point-our-bow-into-a-hurricane metaphor, how about "President Billy Tyne"?

15

the damn fools still support him but they know he is a chronic liar.

*ears perk*

did I hear somethin' 'bout da chronic?

16 "But what is absolutely clear..."

Hasn't some public-speaking wonk on Zero's staff clued to the fact that everyone already knows anything that follows "absolutely clear" or "perfectly clear" is a total lie - ala "not one dime" ?

Enormous debt ?  Check.

U6 unemployment (the one that counts the "under-employed" and "discouraged" over 16% ?  Check. 

Forecasts calling for either deflation or (somewhat more likely) anemic growth for the next 2-3 years ?  Check.

Sounds like a recovery to me.

So why the hell do half the pundits at NRO and RedState still claim Barry's going to be re-elected ?

17 The guy has no idea what he's talking about. He has no idea "what got us where are today." It's infuriating. Up until the Pelosi, Reid, Obama axis of evil, this country had basically 30 years of awesomeness. He can't even see his own policies for what they are. I met an apparatchik from his admin, they look at people like you and me as nothing but personal piggy banks.

18 Stupid question, but with all the cuts in defense programs, homeland security programs, NASA and Medicare, you'd think we would have a huge surplus? I really pray the GOP gets it together and wins back Congress so they can look into why all this money had to suddenly be spent and where the hell it went.

19 How you doin'?

20 Preznit Tarball

21 Blazer, now I'm going to go total golf geek on ya, and give you President Ky Laffoon, who once punched himself in the face after a bad shot.

22 Obumble is GOP gold. If only the GOP could actually seize on the guy's, how you say? Lack of intellectual curiousity...his inability to understand how the economy works or that communism doesn't work. Fucking pant's creases!!1

23

So why the hell do half the pundits at NRO and RedState still claim Barry's going to be re-elected ?

I'm not sure, but 2012 is still a long ways away, and people have short memories.  If the economy is still in the toilet 14 months from now, he's probably gone.  If there's a reasonably strong (even if temporary) recovery during that time, he has the incumbent advantage.

24

they look at people like you and me as nothing but personal piggy banks.

More like bacon banks. My elitist souls must be fed.

25 I really pray the GOP gets it together and wins back Congress so they can look into why all this money had to suddenly be spent and where the hell it went.

28 “But what is absolutely clear is that we are headed in the right direction — and that the surest way out of these storms we’ve been in is to keep moving forward, not back,” the president said in prepared remarks set for delivery at Smith Electric Vehicles in Kansas City, Mo.

Everytime i hear some pol talk about moving forward, not back, i think of Kodos from The Simpsons -

My fellow Americans. As a young boy, I dreamed of being a baseball, but
tonight I say, we must move forward, not backward, upward not forward,
and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom.

Don't get me wrong, that was true heartache right there. I loved the man. And he was a class act--total antithesis of Obama. But the 'crash and burn' analogy is just so glaringly obvious!

36 I think the Precedent is trying hard to convince people to ignore the man behind the curtain.  He's hoping that he can fool enough people to make it through the mid-terms before they wise up.

37

Obama said. “The economy was bleeding jobs; it’s now adding private-sector jobs, and has been for six straight months.”

What country is he talking about?

 

While the unemployment rate fell in June, the government estimated that a net 125,000 jobs were lost that month.

Absolutely headed in the right direction there skipper. So was the Titanic

"Absolutely Clear" Economy Is Heading In The Right Direction

Ever notice that Bambi says exactly what he means if you just complete his nefarious sentence?

40 Meanwhile, Obama posts the third-biggest single-day debt increase in American history.

I am reducing the debt by 3000%. 3000%, dammit! That's like heating an egg to 1,000,000 degrees - the temperature just a few measly miles under the Earth's surface. I mean, the profit and earnings ratios are already down to 23.yy-w.

What more do you Western devils want from me? And you people wonder why I hate you with the heat of the million degree furnace burning a few miles beneath our feet ...

41 “But what is absolutely clear is that we are headed in the right direction — and..."

At the bottom, the other direction is by default the "right" one.

42 How can he keep saying this kind of shit? Even his own supporters say he is lying now. Sure the damn fools still support him but they know he is a chronic liar.

His supporters are cool with his lying.  The fuckers picture themselves to be "in on it."

43

“But what is absolutely clear is that we are headed in the right direction — and that the surest way out of these storms we’ve been in is to keep moving forward, not back,” the president said.

This sounds like the guy at the beginning of the Poseidon Adventure who was sure that the way to safety was going deeper under water toward the bridge.  That didn't work out so well, as I recall.

44 Yeah, everything the guy says is a lie. He has no clue yet he still lies.

45 Everytime i hear some pol talk about moving forward, not back, i think of Kodos from The Simpsons -


I thought it was just me! Nice to know there's two of us.

So why the hell do half the pundits at NRO and RedState still claim Barry's going to be re-elected ?

Because enough dummies may fall for BO's re-election campaign theme "It took Bush eight years to fuck everything up, I need eight years to fix it"

46

Obama made the trip to Kansas City as part of his “recovery summer” tour, promoting efforts by his administration to quell concerns that the United States has not added as many jobs as promised and could be slipping into a second recession.

In other words, Barry is out promoting things that he didn't do and telling people to STFU about it

Obama and Rahm took a crisis and turned it into an absolute disaster.

ObamaCare must be repealed or it will kill off what's left.  (oooo that's the sweet pitching wedge plan)

51
Democrats are going to let the Bush tax cuts expire.  Tax cuts that helped the economy, helped small business, and helped people keep their jobs.

Andrew Sullivan, with his diseased lying brain, is saying that Bush is about to raise taxes.  That's right.  Our ex-president is going to raise taxes.
 How so, Sully?  Your precious democrats are in power and they are the ones who will let the tax increases expire.  & Democrats have promised to layer new ones on top.  Not to mention that PelosiCare is just 2000+ pages of tax increases.

52 We bought her a GPS -----I wonder what we can get Obama to give him a clue?

Impeachment, followed by conviction.

53

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Obama administration heads to court on Thursday aiming to reinstate a six-month moratorium on deepwater oil drilling imposed after the devastating BP Plc Gulf of Mexico oil spill, but blocked by a federal judge.

Feldman ruled last month that the Interior Department failed to adequately take into account the economic impact the drilling suspension would have on the industry as well as local communities.

The Justice Department, which appealed, will argue that Feldman wrongly substituted his judgment in place of Interior Department expertise and that the moratorium was narrow by only affecting drilling at 33 sites.

Like Barry and his gang care about economic impact.

54

Finally, clear indicators why Obama will be able to count on the African American vote.

 

He has helped them beyond measureÂ…

 

Â… to become permanently enslaved by the government.

 

Dependency unfortunately, has its drawbacks.

I heard part of this idiot's speech the other night where he babbled something about needing to carefully "balance" the economy.

Like he's holed up in some high tech lab with complex calculations written on see-through plexiglass, pushing buttons and pulling levers to achieve some perfect economic outcome.

What a poser douche. He knows as much about business and economics as my 4 yr old.

I decided to cut my political consumption by about 80%. I'm done trying to convince myacquaintances of how bad things are going to get. All they give a shit about is Dancing with the Stars, posting trivialities on Facebook, and fiddle fucking around with their Ipods.

May as well be shouting into the wind.

So fuck them. I have better things to do. It's not like we can turn back the storm at this point anyway. It's time to act or be acted upon.

I've started ramping back up on my 2nd job (freelance writing) after a brief respite. I'm socking away money, stocking up on freeze dried food and survival gear, and watching the macroeconomic situation carefully.

Things are going to suck, but they'll suck a lot worse for all the clueless dumbasses out there.

 

 

66 I'm dead, but if I was still alive I wouldn't say shit about any of this. Woah, Ted--your hair's on fire, dude!

GM's Volt and Nissan's Leaf both have substandard performance numbers and a 100-milish range.  Tesla's got the performance and range, but costs 100 fking k.  And they all rely on a substandard, aging electrical grid.

True, sadly.  Although I don't see things being much better until more like 2-3 years from now, a zombie recovery just before the elections could push him over the top - supremely ironic in that the 2008 plunge got him elected and he's done nothing but poison the patient since then. 

The Republicans need real candidates to step up ASAP, not the frontrunners-by-default we have now.  Romney's albatrossed with RomneyCare, Palin's not ready and Newt's cruising on the fumes of 16-years-past glory.

Draft Ryan.

72 >>I decided to cut my political consumption by about 80%. I'm done trying to convince myacquaintances of how bad things are going to get I was biting my tongue so hard over the 4th at the annual family BBQ when my utterly clueless brother in law started bleating on about Obama that I almost drew blood. It's pointless trying to get Obombies to see how fucked up his policies are and where we are headed and all it does is raise my blood pressure and piss me off. My only consolation is that like you I have been preparing for the inevitable Obama debacle since before the election. It's not like anyone should be surprised, he's doing exactly what he said he was going to do. 52% I'm coming over and burn down your houses but first you will blow me.

I'm going to laugh at all these mindless dumbshits when their taxes go up in 6 months.

Child income tax credit? Oh, that's been cut in half. Marginal tax rates? Yeah, all those are going up ... for everyone, not just the dirty rich.

Capital gains tax? Up. Taxes on dividends? Up.

Enjoy, it 52%. You earned the misery you're about to experience. Especially all you fixed income folks.

Even if it's a typo, I like it.

86 This isn't the original article. It's been changed. At 7:52 Central the article said: "The nation's debt leapt $166 billion in a single day last week, the third-largest increase in U.S. history, and it comes at a time when Congress is balking over higher spending and debt has become a key policy battleground. [...] Daily debt calculations jump and fall, and big shifts are common. But all three of the biggest one-day debt increases have occurred under the tenure of President Bush, and all of the top six have been in the past two years - an indication of just how quickly the pace of deficit spending has risen under Mr. Obama and President George W. Bush." I know because I emailed a buddy at work this morning quoting above and saying it didn't make sense. Three of the biggest increases have occurred under the tenure of GWB but all of the top six have been in the last two years. They blamed GWB originally but I don't see any correction now.

87 This isn't the original article. It's been changed. At 7:52 Central the article said: Hold it right there, comrade. Didn't you read my book? "Who controls the past, controls the future."

Jay in ames,

A few years back I decided to see if I could take my two favorite hobbies--writing and poker--and make money at them.

I managed to succeed at both. I stopped treating poker like a part time job after the crackdown on online poker.

But I kept writing.

At first it was just content. Later, I studied copywriting (sales writing) and started writing sales letters for clients, which is far more lucrative.

It's still relatively small potatoes in the scheme of things because I don't have the guts to quit my full time job, but the extra income is nice. I just sock it into my IRA.

Plus I have the confidence that I can make money anywhere I go so long as i have my laptop and an internet connection.

I owe the guy who kept pushing me to write for money a debt of gratitude. He told me at least a half dozen times, "You should do this for a living."

The lesson is, if your friends keep telling you that you're good at something, believe them. Then find a way to make money from doing it.
