Joe Biden: Shovel Ready!
2009 September 4
Joe Biden, 9/3/09: “The stimulus is working, in fact it is working much better than expected!”
9/4/09: Unemployment jumps to 26 year high of 9/7%
They say timing is everything in comedy. Joe Biden has proved that true once again.

10% next month? Or will Hussein cook the books again???

Working as intended…….
Better than expected…….
This is a good thing?

Right Pundits, ip.

thanks inc

Working as intended…….to destroy the economy
Better than expected…….who knew we would be so successful.
This is a good thing?—Of course, to create a brave new socialist utopia, one must first destroy the old.Nihilism is our friend.

No problem.
Good to see you again!

We all know that umemployment figures are always revised UPWARD.

Likewise my dear

You’re tracking along with David Horowitz. He wrote the other week that Alinksky radicals are political nihilists.
[11]
But holy cow batman, wouldn’t that mean that the have-nots would then become the haves and thus the new enemy. These people are hoisting themselves upon their own petards of cognitive schizophrenia. They make the mad hatter look like a genius.

Obama’s Tuesday message to children has been leaked.
[13]
ip, that’s the question I raised!
But the elites are not big on logic or else feel perfectly qualified to decide who gets to be the perpetual haves and have-nots!!
[14]
Obama is in deep crapola, and Biden isn’t helping.
According to Fox Businesss News, it takes 200k new jobs each month just to maintain the current rate of unemployment. These clowns are so far behind the employment 8 ball, they will not make any appreciable gains before the 2010 elections.
Larry Sabato is predicting a democrat loss in the House of 23 – 41 seats.
Could be more with unemployment over 10%.
[15]
TEAR DOWN THE RICH AND MAKE THEM POOR,
LIFT UP THE POOR AND FEAR THEM NO MORE,
WE WILL THEN NEED A NEW ENEMY DON’T YOU SEE,
HOPEFULLY IT WON’T BE THEE OR ME,
WHEN THE CRAP HITS THE FAN WE’LL BE ON ANOTHER SHORE.

We need 40 seats to take control by one vote.

“Joe Biden: Shovel Ready!”
One of my liberal friends told me that if I voted for McCain we’d have an idiot Vice President. He was right.

Now that is a positive thought. Speakership, Chairmanships, agenda, and scheduling, not to mention parking spots, all back in the hands of the adults.
Wow!

O/T Of all the Jen Helfold or Henford or however you spell his name, interviews I watched yesterday, I thought George Will was the best at handling the interview. Worst ? Pete Stark, hands down.

I’m predicting the GOP wins 72 house sets in 2010

18. LOL

Just heard a commentary asserting that Obama made a deal with Ted Kennedy during the campaign —> if Obama made health care a major campaign point Kennedy would endorse him for President.
As I remember it Kennedy’s endorsement was a pivotal point in the primary, totally stabbing Hillary in the back at the same time.
One thing politics is not is warm and fuzzy.
[24]
WHERE ARE ALL THE DAMN JOBS ALREADY????
[25]
Who is going to want to broaden their business and hire more people on with so much uncertainty in the wind —-> health care, cap & trade, house foreclosures still rampant, consumerism down, a prediction of more bank closures, and a stock market with no rhyme or reason to it?
[26]
People in business are just holding on the best they can do.

25 – I help engineering firms find talent. Most of my clients are small to midsized closely held firms. For the first time in a year we are starting to see some movement in hiring, albeit higher level people who can bring business, and senior technical people. Many young engineers who thought that they could change jobs every 18 months and get 7 to 10% raises a year are still on the street, and probably will be for at least another 6 to 12 months.
My clients are not getting porkulous money. They serve other private sector clients themselves. So, what I am seeing is that the producers and entrepreneurs are getting itchy on the sidelines. As usual the business cycle will save us, but the companies are going to try to get the most out of productivity gains before hiring.
[28]
The gubmint is hiring.
[29]
Do we really want a recovery, with this neo marxist in the white house?? Let the melt down be on his watch.

I find it helpful to hear other people’s POV on the job market, your’s being engineering.
We manage/own apt buildings in CA, renting to a number of people from the entertainment industry. This area is flat, and have found people downsizing and moving in with each other to stabilize their shakey economic situation.
We also had a former tenant call who moved out last year. He is an engineer who took a leave of absence from his job looking for other employment. He came back to his old job recently, saying there was no other work out there, and was grateful his old firm held his job for him.
Just a lot of quirky employment circumstances these days in most sectors.
[31]
Janzam – A lot of my clients work in land development. Like many issues, LD is a mass of local markets, not just one big national one. You have my sympathy being in CA. Of course perhaps I should have yours living so close to DC.

10% unemployment will be Obama’s “Hurricane Katrina”; it will be at that point the “anger” of the American people will crest and run over the proverbial levee wall. At 8%, the people watched the waters rise and they became concerned; some of the people started to abandon ship; at 9% even more people said “no more” to the Goodship Obama–at this point, they can just about see the walls starting to crack under the pressure, but still some of the people are still hanging on to the Goodship; 9.4, 9.5, 9.7 is passed. And when the 10% barrier is finally broken, it won’t just slow “crest” over the top, but just like what happened to the levee walls, 10% unemployment will crumble “his” economy, his administration, and what’s left of his party.
Look, Bush was blamed for not doing anything about the levee system, although he didn’t create that system in the first place, but he was vilified for it’s collapse nonetheless. Obama created his own mess; designed it, sold it, and implemented it. He should and WILL be blamed for his mess soon enough.

There’s a knot to be found in any employment sector or place in the country. Nothing or no one’s placement in this immediate economic problem is perfect.
I am just grateful to have our heads above water without too much treading!

Winning only say 38 might actually work out better for use heading into 2012 than winning say 42. Still minority by a couple of seats but it’s enough to stunt major legislation if we can steal a couple moderate dems, plus we can still rail on mrs piggy or her replacement heading into the 2012 elections. I’m just thinking what’s the point of having control by a seat or two and not being able to do much with it, over not having control by a seat or two and being able to set thins up nice for more pickup in 2012, along with what should be a good senate year for us, and the presidential election.
