Monday morning thread-”new era of Responsibility?
Obama called for a “new era of responsibility” on 01-20-2009. So how are we doing? Here’s a story that got a lot of play-here’s a UK story on it
Yup 700 folks applied for a Janitor’s job. In a way that’s a good thing that folks are prepared to take a job maybe any job. Of course the pay is good for a janitor’s job, the benefits are great at government jobs plus government jobs tend to be quite secure. I will make no comment on as to how hard school janitors work as appearances can be deceiving.Â
I will remind folks of several comments that I made in reference to Obama’s inaugural address. 1st Americans need to take a job-maybe any job to get this country moving forward. I would love to read an article about illegal Mexican immigrants-even legal Mexican immigrants-returning to Mexico because Americans were taking jobs plucking chickens, cleaning houses, raking leaves, cutting grass and unloading trucks in the middle of the night. Â
My second point is that a new American work ethic means that friendly customer service and hard work again becomes the norm in American. A dramatic increase in productivity does not mean fewer workers are needed it means that businesses make more money and more people can be hired. How many people have recent experiences with retail or service people where you say “wow they did great”. That’s what American needs to be about. I not want to read about 700 people applying for a job I want to read about people pulling together to make a go of a business. How about this for the American gung ho spirit:
http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2009903080384
These folks aren’t feeling sorry for themselves. They are out there trying to save their jobs!!! I wished I lived in Nashville to help them out.

Illegal immigrants might get stimulus jobs, experts say
By William M. Welch, USA TODAY
LOS ANGELES — Tens of thousands of jobs created by the economic stimulus law could end up filled by illegal immigrants, particularly in big states such as California where undocumented workers are heavily represented in construction, experts on both sides of the issue say.
I thought all those shovel ready construction projects were going to provide jobs for laid off middle class white collar knowledge workers.
I work in the engineering/construction business, I could have told you who does the actual building. (which is why I wanted to find a means to let those who want to work legal.)
The Mexican stimulus Act.
Priceless.
Oil nears $50.
Thank God we geared up our off shore drealing.
Oh wait. Never mind.

Warren Buffett to CNBC: Economy Has “Fallen Off a Cliff”
Posted By: Alex Crippen
CNBC
8-Do you know if CNBC is going to rerun that 3 hours with Warren Buffett
Not sure.
C’mon Phil and Howard Dean, Obama was against drilling before he was for it before he was against it….he’s a model for consistency at least in his inconsistency with offshore drilling.
58% of Republicans now strogly disapprove of Obama; this guy is starting to piss off people on our side.
Rasmussen Obama Approval 3/9/09:
Overall 56%/43%
GOP: 22%/78%
DEM: 89%/11%
IND: 43%/55%
MEN: 52%/47%
WOMEN: 57%/43%
WHITE: 49%/50%
BLACK: 92%/8%
OTHER: 56%/43%
Love that Indy number.
Women are waking up.
Is his Indy sample big enough?
Hey, I guess the sexual fantasies women were having about Dear Leader must be waning.
Warren Buffett says unemployment will likely climb a lot higher
AP
#14. Indies make up about 390 people in the sample, which I assume holds about a +/- 4% margin of error.
Wikipedia scrubbing their Obama profile.
Wikipedia, the online “free encyclopedia” mega-site written and edited entirely by its users, has been deleting within minutes any mention of eligibility issues surrounding Barack Obama’s presidency, with administrators kicking off anyone who writes about the subject, WND has learned.
A perusal through Obama’s current Wikipedia entry finds a heavily guarded, mostly glowing biography about the U.S. president. Some of Obama’s most controversial past affiliations, including with Rev. Jeremiah Wright and former Weathermen terrorist Bill Ayers, are not once mentioned, even though those associations received much news media attention and served as dominant themes during the presidential elections last year.
I still don’t trust that “other” number…it seems that the white number would be much worse with the “other” number at 56%.
It seems that Rasmussen has a difficult time with polling Hispanics.
Folks,
… and Rasmussen’s strongly disapprove is the highest yet. Overall difference of 6%.
Wow. It only took less than 2 months and Obama is approaching 0% difference.
AMAZING.
Frank
#19. My guess is that it is such a small sample, that it is going to vary wildly sometimes. If I remember correctly, Hispanics were roughly 9% of the electorate in 2008. This is a 1500 person poll, so that means 135 polled are Hispanic. This means that there is a +/- 8 point margin of error, so that number could just as easily be 64%/35% which is what I’m guessing you think it should look like.
12. Those numbers dont make sense. According to RAS there is a two point difference in the generic DEM/GOP ballot. And he’s only at 43% with INDies. So there is a huge over sample of DEMS then. I think in reality around 52% if you re-weight correctly.
1. NOT THAT’S CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN FOLKS!!!!
#22. The DEM/GOP ballot is different than the party ID. He uses the party ID poll to weight these national polls. This month it is Dem 41.1%, R 33%, I 25.9%.
1. I LOVE THAT VIDEO HD !!!!
My husband I believe in teaching our children personal responsibility. The military isn’t the only way to establish independence and earn money for college, there are also various state and federal programs. In Georgia, where we live, the state (or is it a federal program?) offers what is called the HOPE scholarship (I think the man from Hope, may have had something to do with the name of the program). South Carolina has a similar plan called the Palmetto Scholarship, for in state kids.
In order for our son to continue to receive funding under the HOPE program, our son needed to maintain a 3.0 GPA. So my husband and I came up with this brilliant incentive plan. If our son’s report card after the first semester was 3.5 or higher, we would provide him with a car. The car we offered him, a 10 year old clunker, proved to be just the right incentive. When you are a college kid, wheels are wheels (dates maybe?). Since his high school GPA was only 3.3, we were a little doubtful that he could do it, but guess what, he ended up with a 3.7 after his first semester! We were so proud of him.
As the incentive of the car began to wear off, his grades did begin to slip a little but he still managed to maintain a GPA of 3.03 (whew, that was close!).
After he graduates from college, he will be is enlisting into the AmeriCorps program for a full year. After he completes one year of service, he will receive a grant of $4800 to apply toward graduate school. We will provide him with free housing but we expect him to work part-time to cover personal expenses. For transportation, he’ll have to commute using public transportation.
Comment by jody beaumont — 3/9/2009
Correct me if I’m wrong but the spending freeze that Boehner has endorsed is only for the fiscal year 2009, which ends in July…isn’t that accurate? John McCain’s proposal during the campaign trail was no different. The dems are making it seem as if Boehner has proposed no new spending as a solution to the entire crisis when he may only be talking about the next couple of months.
#22/24
Rasmussen uses the 3 month trailing average for party ID. That’s why this number is so important.
The Dims have lost 2 points in the past two months.
Party ID and congressional generic are really the two polls to watch at this point.
As I predicted, his approval #s are going to the mid 50s and sinking fast.
I think Warren is having buyers remourse as is a lot of independents and conservative Democrats.
#26:
That program was created by an act of the Legislature here in the early 90’s, at the behest of Governor Miller. It was from a campaign promise he had made. It is funded by the Ga. Lottery.
That campaign, incidently, was run by James Carville and Paul Begala.
Several other states have adopted this idea, but it originated here.
Buffett and Soros are the money behind Obama.They bought and paid for Obama’s election. Foreign money also played a role. Obama is just a part of the larger conspiracy, a puppet on a string.Keep an eye on Solena.
#27 – Fiscal year 2010 for the USGov starts October 1st.
Where is my damn $13?
Don’t make fun of $13…I discovered this weekend that its ALMOST enough to get food one time at McDonalds for a family of four! Now this is what I call HOPE AND CHANGE!!!
Try $8 in January.
Of course, cap and trade is going tp jack up your electric bill by about a third.
Hope and change.
Although I have a full time job as a legal assistant and feel pretty secure, I am applying at various places for part time jobs on the weekends: Curves, Whole Foods and as a night receptionist at a women’s spa. All of this will be saved to help fund my son’s last year of college so he won’t have any loans. Kids hopefully learn strong work ethics from parents who display one…
30-Buffett isn’t having buyer’s remorse. Berkshire Hathaway and he is sitting on a ton of cash and as the market goes down he is going to use it to scoop up good companies at bargain prices. To some degree we can say that Obama’s policies as they relate to the stock market are a form of welfare for the “cash rich.”
Jody,
I enjoyed reading your personal story. It is clear that you and your husband love your son very much and are quite proud of him.
I have a son in Iraq. I pray for his safety and look forward to his return in June.

His service is much appreciated!
From Warren Buffett this morning:
“”What is required is a commander in chief that’s looked at like a commander in chief in a time of war,” Buffett said
Whatever the government does to help the economy will likely benefit some people who made poor financial decisions, but Buffett said Americans should realize that everyone is in the same boat.
“The people that behaved well are no doubt going to find themselves taking care of the people who didn’t behave well,” Buffett said.
What a tool.
Brandon,
The Party ID for February is now:
40.8% D

I find it hilarious that the one Rasmussen poll that the media picks up on is a poll indicating that most Republicans do not believe we have a “clear leader.” Why don’t the media outlets report on other Rasmussen polls, including the one showing Obama’s approval rating sinking like the Dow?
As for Republicans not having a leader, Tammy Bruce touched upon a theory as to why it’s difficult for a leader to emerge among conservatives:
“Ironically, one of the many important and attractive elements of the conservative ideal is that it is principally resistant to the very notion of “leadership.†The always astute Ann Coulter has noted that conservatives have no leaders, per se. The individualistic nature of the Authentic Conservative eschews the idea of being organized or led. It is, as they say, our greatest strength and greatest weakness. Yet, as a former leftist organizer I know the power and importance of a clear and directed message.
Reagan understood this, too. Reagan was a man, however, who did not “lead†us — he reminded us who are as a people and then cheered us on.”

first light of dawn is usually the best time.
everyone have a blessed day. i will try to plan and prioritize my week
oh i like chess too. i was a pretty good jock in hs.
Sounds like Buffet wants the Obumbler to fail. He disagreed with him on 4 major issues, including Card Check.
The whole Republican leader thing is flimsy. The Republican leader will be the nominee going against the Obumbler in 4 years.
The who is the Republican Leader can be written as No Presidential Leadership on the Economy and Budget.
53-what were the other issues.
10 newspapers to fold next:

I can not remember the other 3. The only one was the Card Check.
#45. But he uses a 3 month rolling average which is where my numbers came from.

DOW was up early…then change was in the air…and it tanked. HOPE AND CHANGE you can believe in!!
The conservative movement by stressing the individual does not need nor warrant a Messianic figure to tell everyone how to think. It is hysterical that the msm has sunk to this level. What’s next?
Warren supported Obama. I guess he won’t be too happy when Dairy Queen (which Buffet owns) is unionized. Just kidding – I think.

The story I heard was because of abortion. It was also much later.
However, the real reason he’s supporting Barry probably has more to do with PR.
There is a small underground movement (see Doug Kass) that is questioning Buffett. By playing the lib dim, he still gathers a fawning press who never takes a critical eye.
im just guessing here, but i would not be surprised if soros and buffett have not made trillions on this wealth transfer by using derivatives. Soros is a master at that game.

Hmm which do you think the administration wanted as today’s headline?

or
Obama – No Clones.
69-civil rights. His first wife, Suzie, was quite liberal. They were known in Omaha as being friends with many blacks and otherwise disenfranchised people. Buffett was even involved in the local chapter of the Urban League. Abortion was not yet a national issue in 1965.

Should we be recruiting Howard Dean to primary Obama in ‘12? There seems to be a lot of animosity between the two camps with Dean accusing Obama’s camp of putting out leaks.

That does not make sense to me since it was Republican Senators who ensured passage of the Civil Rights Bill in 1964.

Warren Buffet’s dad was a true-blue conservative who got messed over by intra party squabbles and lost out on a senate seat.

75-just reporting what I read. “The Snowball” is actually a pretty revealing, and not all the time complimentary, look at warren Buffett’s life. For instance his first marriage was unconventional to say the least. And he was admittedly an incredibly selfish person with his personal relationships.
The book is a bit of a slog as it is over 800 pages.

Obama’s Double Talk
By Robert J. Samuelson
Monday, March 9, 2009; Page A15
To those who believe that Barack Obama is a different kind of politician — more honest, more courageous — please don’t examine his administration’s budget. If you do, you may sadly conclude that he resembles presidents stretching back to John Kennedy in one crucial respect. He won’t tax voters for all the government services they want. That’s the main reason we’ve run budget deficits in 43 of the past 48 years.
Obama is a great pretender. He repeatedly says he is doing things that he isn’t, trusting his powerful rhetoric to obscure the difference. He has made “responsibility” a personal theme; the budget’s cover line is “A New Era of Responsibility.” He says the budget begins “making the tough choices necessary to restore fiscal discipline.” It doesn’t.
WAPO
BTW, Wiki has removed ALL references to the fact that Southern Senators fought against the legislation as hard as they could. Instead, they focus on a few GOP congressman who were against preclearance in 2006. No bias at Wiki. It makes me want to vomit.
I am suprised that they have not changed the vote totals from 1964.
obama is clearly a liar and fraud
81-Read Samuelson’s “The Great Inflation and Its Aftermath.” Good reading and prophetic. Even Buffett said today that we are headed for higher inflation. And the sad thin is we know how it starts, because it always starts the same way.

im not gonna dump the link in but it says “barak supporters are building supportfor his plan to fix the economy”
pretty sure that is the exact quote or very close to it
HD,
We were talking about nicknames for our “family” here at HHH. Newt Gingrich, prior to being the GOP minority whip in congress was a self described back bencher, bomb thrower who made it his life’s mission to derail the Democrats liberal agenda that was being pushed for decades.
That just seems to fit you.
Per 90,
It is a compliment. Newt is one of my all time heroes in politics.
HD just google up the word backbencher, or maybe use yahoo instead
seems to refer more to the brits system but similar idea

You are too generous!
deflav to fight against the messiah we are going to need some very seriuos security so who in the family can handle that ? Tina, Polaris, G AKA FRemaker ??? esp computer/cyber security
and we need our own community orginizer-unless its Dave,which it just may be. my role will simply be to seek advice from the man upstairs and if i hear somethin clearly, to pass it along. i can also occasionally toss in some humor or at least try to make a contribution…also we need some counter oppps…
““barak supporters are building supportfor his plan to fix the economy—
Is there something nefarious about them saying that or was there something more sinister attached. I don’t agree with him, but I suppose that it is politics to try to get people to support your POV.
tim from ga, could be our spy
Polaris is the perfect man for that job. Me, I am the “watergate” guy. More of Liddy type.
Freemarket can’t be involved. He has Commander-in-Chief issues and needs to respect that.
Tina also has a similiar but not exact conflict. I respect both of them for being so willing to state their views in such a dangerous environment. It is really a courageous thing to do.
Manchurian Candidate’ Starts War on Business:
Commentary by Kevin Hassett
March 9 (Bloomberg) — Back in the 1960s, Lyndon Johnson gave us the War on Poverty. In the 1970s, Richard Nixon launched the War on Drugs. Now that we have seen President Barack Obama’s first-year legislative agenda, we know what kind of a war he intends to wage.
It is no wonder that markets are imploding around us. Obama is giving us the War on Business.
Imagine that some hypothetical enemy state spent years preparing a “Manchurian Candidate†to destroy the U.S. economy once elected. What policies might that leader pursue?
He might discourage private capital from entering the financial sector by instructing his Treasury secretary to repeatedly promise a brilliant rescue plan, but never actually have one. Private firms, spooked by the thought of what government might do, would shy away from transactions altogether. If the secretary were smooth and played rope-a-dope long enough, the whole financial sector would be gone before voters could demand action.
Another diabolical idea would be to significantly increase taxes on whatever firms are still standing.

Those approval numbers have nowhere to go but down.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2009-03-08-church-shooting_N.htm
This story about a guy shooting a pastor in a church in front of his congregation is chilling enough, but read some of the comments posted by readers. That is by far more chilling that the killing itself. There are leftists on there actually cheering that this was done and that the church deserves this after years of Christianity abusing non-believers. Sure there have been abuses of religion in world history, just as there are abuses from non-believers as well. That’s why we got rid of the union of church and state. The man killed in this instance was a Baptist…and baptists have historically never been tied to any government and as such have never been on the side of the persecutors of others. But for goodness sake, what must be taught these days in government schools for people to cheer like this when a pastor is shot dead in his church? All the more reason for me to keep home-schooling.
#72
No doubt
It’s interesting how the second generation does this. I have no doubt that Howard Dean’s father (of Dean Witter fame and fortune) thought Howard was worthless.
(Note: That’s the DNC Howard Dean NOT our Howard Dean)
However, in Buffett’s case he did very well in investing. I wonder if his outlook would be different if he ever actually ran a real business.
there is a link i losted yesterday which i think is a great tool as you can change the “item you are evaluating in the top drop box” I am going to toss it out again and this time take a look at…
http://www.indexmundi.com/g/r.aspx?t=0&v=144&l=en
there are probably other important variables that i have yet to analize
108-I don’t agree with his politics, but saying that Buffett has not run a real business is wrong. You should read the book. Buffett got where he was by hard work and his brains. He was not one of these big businesses that got into bed with the government in order to make his money.
I belong (very tangentially btw – my wife is more pious) to a Methodist church that happens to be fairly liberal. We are disaffected Catholics.
It is funny how the looney lefties view all religious figures. They don’t even take the time to look into the persons views. Of course, they have no respect for anyone who is not 1000000% in agreement with them. Ask Juan Williams.
I wonder how Buffet feels now watching his money go bye bye?
A great day on the market for the Obama Presidency – only down 1.2%. Change we can believe in!
Another day to blame Bush.

Tim V: My son’s best friend, in Marine intelligence, just began his second tour of duty in Iraq. My office is praying for two guys in Iraq every Wednesday morning and will include your son. I have mixed feelings since in 1968 I lost my 20 year old sweetheart in DaNang…all I have left of Andy is his name on a black wall and a lifelong hatred for Lyndon B. Johnson…
Wow only down another 80, the display of hope is stunning.
“I belong (very tangentially btw – my wife is more pious) to a Methodist church that happens to be fairly liberal. We are disaffected Catholics.”
the methodist church is Christian-lite …
they have only two sacraments … play pianos not organs, only have one week of lent … their christmas story is the little drummer boy …
DOW off 80 for the day….Obama’s plan to destroy the economy is right on track…this is the HOPE and CHANGE you voted for!!!
119-How long before the congressional democrats start running for cover.
Remember:
1938
1966
1994
Destroy everyone’s 401k so we can all be dependent on the government.
Right on schedule.
LBJ did not kill your sweetheart … that was a vietnamese who may not have had much choice.
if you go to vietnam btw, at least in the south, they do not hate americans, which is not surprising given their traditions … but one lady put it this way to me –
the french and the japanese wanted to enslave us, but the usa tried to help us ….
she also said that the day the war ended they all felt a sense of tense relief that the war was over, with fear of what would happen next, especially as the nva began to knock on doors to find out who was who … (and some people were taken away).
“How long before the congressional democrats start running for cover.”
a.) a long time, imo it won’t start to really hurt obama unless the dow breaks 6,000, and only really seriously if it breaks 5,000 … then he will probably be a one termer.
b.) i would not tie your criticisms of obama to the dow. while fun and convenient now, it is a forward looking measure and will start upwards well before the recovery starts. if you focus on the dow, obama will correctly point to a rise … from say today’s level of 6,500 to say 7,500 as proof his policies work — it will only be proof that the major bleeding has stopped.
c.) the dow is fickle … i would not base your analysis of the day to day market movements …
just saying …
Right as usual lisab. But if you look at the significance of the dates that I put in we are actually talking about over reach:
1938: Roosevelt’s 2nd term. He has tried to pack the Supreme Court and the New deal is not doing so well. Huge republican gains in mid term elections
1966: LBJ is giving us guns and butter and expanding the government more than any administration since. Huge republican gains in mid term elections.
1994: Clinton overreaches on health care, again trying to expand the government into peoples lives more than any administration since LBJ. Huge republican gains in mid term elections.
just saying…

“White folk’s greed runs a world in need.”
the 2 chants from the left that annoy me the most are:
