Home Sales Down Again!

According to MSNBC, "Home sales tumble 16.7%". The largest drop in more than 40 years. Why won't the media slam this guy the way they did Bush!? If this happened under the watch of any conservative, the media would pounce on them like a lion pouncing on a sickly fawn!

This is directly from MSNBC, "Last month's worse-than-expected showing underscores concerns that the housing market could weaken further after March 31, when the Federal Reserve is set to end its program to buy mortgage securities to keep home loan rates low". So if you think it's bad now, it could get much worse in a couple of months.

The radical, liberal supporters of Hussein will still defend him, although he is not helping our economy at all. I can't understand how people can't see thru this empty suit of a man....Barrack Hussein Obama.

Obama Approval Steadily Decreasing....?

Is anyone surprised that Obama's approval rating has been steadily declining over the past year? How can anyone support this man? He has lied several times and now it seems like he is "campaigning" again. What's this all about?

This man (although he doesn't act like a man at all), should be acting like he's at the top level of politics and here he seems to be campaigning for his liberal cronies! This is the president of the U.S.A. and he's trying to use what little influence he has left to secure the positions of his underlings so they can do his bidding in the future.

The people in the "media" should be jumping all over this guy. Whoever wrote the first story on his "antics" could win a freakin Pullitzer. There is so much crap on this guy that it's unbelievable. Now I hear he donated a whopping $15,000.00 to help the suffering Haitians. This is a noble deed, but not when you're a multi-millionaire several times over! He could give a little more, it's not like he's paying rent and medical bills! Besides, he used to talk a lot about "spreading the wealth". "Hey, Obama, spread some my way"!

Let's give a little summary of his sterling performance:
-Obama didn't close Guantanamo like he promised
-Obama didn't end the war like he promised
-Obama didn't bring home troops like he promised
-Obama sent additional troops
-Obama's security adviser's failed
-Obama hasn't created more jobs/jobless rate not getting better
-Obama threw a horrible pitch at the White Sox game
-Obama golfed in Hawaii while there was a terrorist attack
-Obama DID NOT allow healthcare talks to be aired
-Obama's approval rating, even among demmies, has decreased

Let's keep taking the fight to the left.....HARD! As conservatives, we need to be heard, and we've got some good momentum going!

More Big Gov Spending....

This big government spending is past the point of ridiculous....It's time for the conservatives in office to grow spines and get these radical libs out of office. They want to take our money and GIVE it to federal workers. How ridiculous!

http://www.cato-at-liberty.org/2009/08/24/federal-pay-continues-rapid-ascent/

The Bureau of Economic Analysis has released its annual data on compensation levels by industry. The data show that the pay advantage enjoyed by federal civilian workers over private-sector workers continues to expand. The George W. Bush years were very lucrative for federal workers. In 2000, the average compensation (wages and benefits) of federal workers was 66 percent higher than the average compensation in the U.S. private sector. The new data show that average federal compensation is now more than double the average in the private sector. In 2008, the average wage for 1.9 million federal civilian workers was $79,197, which compared to an average $50,028 for the nation’s 108 million private sector workers (measured in full-time equivalents). The figure shows that the federal pay advantage is steadily increasing. In 2008, federal worker compensation averaged a remarkable $119,982, which was more than double the private sector average of $59,909. What is going on here? Members of Congress who have large numbers of federal workers in their districts relentlessly push for expanding federal worker compensation. Also, the Bush administration had little interest in fiscal restraint, and it usually got rolled by the federal unions. The result has been an increasingly overpaid elite of government workers, who are insulated from the economic reality of recessions and from the tough competitive climate of the private sector. It’s time to put a stop to this. Federal wages should be frozen for a period of years, at least until the private-sector economy has recovered and average workers start seeing some wage gains of their own. At the same time, gold-plated federal benefit packages should be scaled back as unaffordable given today’s massive budget deficits. There are many qualitative benefits of government work—such as extremely high job security—so taxpayers should not have to pay for such lavish government pay packages.

As conservatives, we need to stand up and be heard! Keep fighting the demmies!

More Financial Problems for Illinois

It seems as though there’s no person in power that can fix the financial problems that have plagued Illinois for years. In September of 2009, Illinois unemployment was about 10.9%. This is .9% higher than the national average. Unemployment figures for problem cities are as follows; Peoria-10.8%, Danville-12.1%, Kankakee-Bradley, 13.6%, and Rockford with an astounding 15.4%.
The second largest city in Illinois, Aurora, is facing its own financial issues. In 2009, finance director Brian Caputo told the Aurora City Council that if spending wasn’t decreased they might see a revenue shortfall of about 19 million dollars. He said the operating costs were simply too high. This comes after the 108 million dollar police station was constructed at 1200 E. Indian Trail. How can this spending be justified? The state of Illinois is nearly a hundred billion dollars in debt, public and private employees are being laid off and 108 million dollars was budgeted for a new police station in Aurora!
This is not an ordinary police station with necessary features. This police station has many useless components. One of these is steel seismic beams that meet new earthquake standards. How is this justified? Another unnecessary feature of the Aurora police station has to do with the housing of criminals. In the jail, each cell has a layer of “liquid crystal” glass that will temporarily blur the view when detainees are moved throughout the jail. This will be the only jail of its kind in America. It also features the largest lead-free tactical firearms proficiency range in Illinois. How is this necessary? How can this be justified?
These added extras would be great, if the state of Illinois could afford it. Our debt in Illinois is steadily climbing and Pat Quinn is proposing new tax increases. The people in Illinois who are spending our tax money and proposing tax increases should be asked to justify this spending.

Obama: America's Joke

"I don't need to remind any of you about the situation we found ourselves in at the beginning of this year," Obama told people at a Home Depot stop last month. And then he reminded them anyways, detailing a nation in financial free fall when he took office. "I think we have been successful in averting disaster," Obama said on Dec. 16 about righting the economy. "You know, you don't get a lot of credit for that, because nobody knows how bad it could have been." Obama and his administration are one and the same...A JOKE! Obama took office and it reminded me of a spoiled brat kid who had everything handed to him. He, along with his blind supporters, thought the country would bend his way and the economy would right itself with his mere presence. Get real, 'bama!. This is America and it's time you stop blaming Bush and Reagan and act like a man. 'Bama needs to understand that when he took office, he took on the problems that the previous administration left. That was Obama's choice. Now it's his responsibility to fix it. Act like a man...not a spoiled little child. Obama might be charismatic and handsome (BIG maybe on both of these), but he has no substance. The dems are trying to take the view off Obama by blaming Bush...let's not let that happen. After one year as president, it's Obama's turn to sit in the hot seat. How does it feel, Barack Hussein Obama? I would like to ask Barack Obama one little question: Where's the change, prez? Why didn't you bring the troops home, as you promised? Why can't the citizens of this country hear the healthcare "negotiations", as you promised? Why can't the "negotiations" be televised on TV, as you promised? Why didn't OUR trillion dollars in tax money help the "jobless situation", as you promised? Where is the job creation, as you promised? This list is longer than you would imagine! It's time to really make our voices heard. We have to fight anybody that supports this regime, at every opportunity!
