New Negative Jobs Report Is Bad News For Obama

Officials Officially Pronounce Obama's Stimulus A Massive Failure That Added Billions To The National Debt


    Barack Obama

    Everyone from Alan Greenspan to Barack Obama's economic committee, have pronounced the President's stimulus a catastrophic failure that wasted huge amounts of taxpayer money in the billions. Mainstream newspapers and blogs have gone into overdrive, taking the president to task for the enormous waste that has set America even further behind.

    A year and a half ago, on November 13, 2009, the Judiciary Report predicted this would happen (Obama Calls For Job Summit). It is now being stated this week, it would have been cheaper for Obama to, "Cut a $100,000 check to everyone whose employment was allegedly made possible by the 'stimulus.'”

    Obama’s Economists: ‘Stimulus’ Has Cost $278,000 per Job

    12:07 PM, Jul 3, 2011 - The stimulus is now causing the economy to shed jobs. When the Obama administration releases a report on the Friday before a long weekend, it’s clearly not trying to draw attention to the report’s contents. Sure enough, the “Seventh Quarterly Report” on the economic impact of the “stimulus,” released on Friday, July 1, provides further evidence that President Obama’s economic “stimulus” did very little, if anything, to stimulate the economy, and a whole lot to stimulate the debt.

    The report was written by the White House’s Council of Economic Advisors, a group of three economists who were all handpicked by Obama, and it chronicles the alleged success of the “stimulus” in adding or saving jobs. The council reports that, using “mainstream estimates of economic multipliers for the effects of fiscal stimulus” (which it describes as a “natural way to estimate the effects of” the legislation), the “stimulus” has added or saved just under 2.4 million jobs — whether private or public — at a cost (to date) of $666 billion. That’s a cost to taxpayers of $278,000 per job.

    In other words, the government could simply have cut a $100,000 check to everyone whose employment was allegedly made possible by the “stimulus,” and taxpayers would have come out $427 billion ahead...

    Down on the Fourth of July: the United States of gloom

    July 3rd, 2011 - NEWS REVIEW: America’s deepening recession and widespread pessimism about the country’s prospects add a bitter note to Independence Day, reports Toby Harnden, US Editor. Across America today, people will gather for barbecues in their backyards, parades through their towns and firework displays lighting up the night sky. They’ll be celebrating Independence Day – the birthday of the United States and the 235th anniversary of shaking off the oppressive yoke of British rule...

    That’s the good news. On the flip side, however, a country whose hallmark has always been a sense of irrepressible optimism is in the grip of unprecedented uncertainty and self-doubt. With the United States mired in three foreign wars, beaten down by an economy that shows few signs of emerging from deep recession and deeply disillusioned with President Barack Obama, his Republican challengers and Congress, the mood is dark.

    The last comparable Fourth of July was probably in 1980, when there was a recession, skyrocketing petrol prices and an Iranian hostage crisis, with 53 Americans being held in Tehran. Frank Luntz, perhaps America’s pre-eminent pollster, argues that his countrymen are much more downbeat now than in 1980. “The assumption with the Carter years was that it was a failure of the elites, not the system. We thought the people in charge screwed up. We didn’t blame ourselves.” Remarkably, many Americans think things will only get worse and the good times will never return.

    A recent New York Times/CBS poll found that 39 per cent think that “the current economic downturn is part of a long-term permanent decline and the economy will never fully recover”. That was up from 28 per cent last October. Last month, a CNN poll found that 48 per cent of Americans believe another Great Depression is somewhat or very likely.

    Luntz has found that 44 per cent of Americans believe their country’s best days are in the past, 57 per cent that their children will not achieve the same quality of life, and 53 per cent that they are less free than five years ago. So what is going on? ...

Obama's Relationship With Google Under Fire Over Blocking Free Speech And Free Press

    Barack Obama

    Watchdog groups are calling for an investigation into the relationship between President Barack Obama and the internet search engine company Google and said claims are legitimate. Email evidence was uncovered regarding the relationship. A number of websites and bloggers have publicly complained, their websites have been removed from Google search engine results, for authoring and publishing articles critical of President Obama, in spite of the fact the First Amendment of the Constitution, guarantees free speech and free press, without fear of retribution.

    The fact of the matter is, President Obama, can be quite vindictive, vengeful and petty, which is the mark of a small man. Mainstream newspaper the Boston Herald, is further proof of this fact, as they were punished and penalized by the White House, for allowing other presidential candidates column inches and daring to seek answers from President Obama on the difficult and relevant questions concerning the country. The Boston Herald wrote of the President's inappropriate blacklisting:

    "Obama swimming in shallow end of pool. Was it something I said, Barry? Or should I say, Hussein? So the Herald can’t be in the White House pool because we’re not in the White House tank? Nixon would be proud. Imagine if George Bush had tried to set up his own personal 'Enemies List.' Where’s the ACLU when one of the Beautiful People unleashes his own Plumbers on the loyal opposition?...

    All we asked was to be in the press pool. But nooooo. Because the Obama worshipers object to the front-page placement of an op-ed piece by Mitt Romney...In case you missed it, the White House yesterday banned the Herald from the 'pool' reporting list to cover the Messiah’s latest trip to Boston. Obama’s press office had to protect the Boston Globe, which once prided itself on being at odds with the Powers That Be. If the Globe’s current reporters were dogs, they would be described with one of two words. 'Spayed' or 'neutered.' And I just thought of a third word — 'lapdogs.'"

    President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama

    In another revealing incident, the White House contacted a newspaper and demanded an item critical of First Lady Michelle Obama be removed. According to the Daily Caller, "A local California paper in Pleasanton, California was contacted in April by the White House and asked to remove a passage that presented an unflattering description of the first lady. The paper complied, then tipped off The Daily Caller."

    It is very alarming that the President and his wife are this trivial and superficial. Instead of tending to massive unemployment and the skyrocketing deficit, President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, are obsessing over their unflattering press clippings, attempting to rewrite history and cherry pick what the entire press writes about them in a free country.

    Sadly, Obama has lost his way and the plot - and the public knows it. President Obama is showing himself to be a fraud, not upholding the Constitution or U.S. Code, which bars administrations from interfering in the press. To unlawfully impede the publishing of articles, is to erode and potentially destroy the income of writers.

    Who are you to be leaning on and harassing people for lawfully speaking their minds and voicing their opinions in print. You're supposed to be creating jobs as President, not trying to destroy them and people's livelihoods in the process. No wonder unemployment is so high - Obama simply does not care and is preoccupied with other egotistical things.

    I for one can attest, there is an un-kosher relationship between Obama and Google, as I received an email from said company this week, regarding my articles in Google News (which were removed - yes, they are still trying to destroy my income). I can attest, President Obama and co., dislike the concept of free press and they are well out of order over this conduct.

    It should be noted, seeking to remove articles from search engines is futile in suppressing free speech, as many websites receive massive traffic from referrals - regular readers forwarding article links to others, by email, IM, message boards and feedback sections.

    This is commonly known as word of mouth and there is no way for Google or any other search engine to remove that. There are bloggers and writers, who are not listed in Google News or Google Blogs, yet their websites have millions of regular readers, who log-on often to read the latest updates.

    Drudge Report and other prominent bloggers are proof of this fact. This week it was reported, Drudge refers more news traffic to other websites, than Facebook, a site of 500,000,0000 users, whose CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, Obama recently schmoozed for favorable coverage.

    However, Drudge accomplished this feat without being listed in Google News or Google Blogs. Guess Obama kissed up to the wrong people. It's always funny when a politician kisses up to the wrong individuals, because at the end of the day, they should not be schmoozing anyone, as it lowers their office.

    Furthermore, such juvenile, petty, vindictive and corrupt conduct, in suppressing free speech, has no place in an administration or a free democracy. It is un-American and un-Western. When you as a head of state, pull strings in seeking to suppress the press, you lose credibility and all moral ground as a politician in the world. Politicians that engage in such conduct are labeled by the voting public, hypocrites not fit to lead.

    One cannot privately punish the press for seeking and speaking the truth, then publicly stand up and condemn other world governments, such as those representing China, Russia, Venezuela, Iran, Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Libya, proclaiming they should have a free and democratic society, when you are behaving in a manner contrary to those proclamations. You must first practice what you preach, then you can lecture others on the virtues of democracy and a free society.

U.S. Economy Continues To Worsen As Not Enough Jobs Are Being Created

U.S. Unemployment Benefits Stalled

    Congress

    The U.S. Senate has refused to renew the unemployment benefits of 1.3 million people, which is a mistake. Taxpayers bailed out banks and other financial institutions, in addition to U.S. corporations, to the tune of billions. Now, when the taxpayers need the help, it is being denied. This is not right.

    People could go lose their homes or end up homeless without the unemployment checks, they are depending on to get them through this rough time in U.S. history. This is not an area to be making cuts. Once again, the poor and middle class are being trampled in favor of the rich.

    As the average American did not create the terrible financial crisis that continues to negatively impact the nation, they should not be made to pay the price for Corporate America's greed.

    Side Bar: The public just may remember who voted against their unemployment benefits during mid-term elections. That's 1.3 million angry voters.

Joe Biden: We Can't Replace The 8 Million Jobs Lost


    Vice President Joe Biden

    Last week, Vice President, Joe Biden stated the Obama administration will not be able to replace the 8 million jobs that have been lost during the ongoing financial crisis. Oh, yes you could have. Had you followed the Judiciary Report's job creation plan and had tight controls over how the stimulus money was disbursed, the goal could have been achieved.

    However, what the Judiciary Report feared and wrote about in advance, hoping it would not happen, did via government overpaying for jobs. As a result of that government bureaucracy, poor planning and financial misappropriation of taxpayer stimulus finds, less jobs were created. You overpaid for the creation of each job, with money that could have created 3-5 positions (each time), had the project been carefully undertaken. Multiply that by each time it happened and billions were wasted.

Obama's Illegal Job Practices

    U.S. President Barack Obama

    U.S. President Barack Obama is in trouble over attempts to bribe numerous politicians into not running for office, to clear the way for his Democratic party favorites to win seats and maintain a majority in Congress, which would enable him to ram through legislation without bipartisan chatter.

    He is accused of attempting to bribe politicians Sestak and Romanoff with high ranking jobs within his administration, using intermediaries to do his bidding. This practice is a blatant violation of U.S. law, which is an impeachable offense.

    Similar, alleged misconduct by President Obama is also at the heart of the Rod Blagojevich criminal case, where the two discussed job offers in exchange for political favors.

    Rod Blagojevich

    The aforementioned constitute three high profile incidents of such misconduct. It appears Mr. Obama has a problem in this area and is consistently attempting to flout the law in a political pay for play scheme that is inappropriate and illegal.

    Obama is certainly not the first President to engage in such conduct. However, it does not excuse it, as he is meant to be setting an example. It should not be politics as usual.

    Obama's wealthy campaign donors have also been given cushy jobs within his administration and in other branches of the U.S. government, some of which they simply are not qualified for, under the circumstances.

    Obama under fire for election tactics with Sestak, Romanoff

    6/3/2010 - WASHINGTON — The White House on Thursday dismissed charges that President Obama's top aides have breached his pledge to run the most ethical and open administration in history by trying to entice Democrats in Pennsylvania and Colorado to skip races against favored incumbents.

    Some Republicans, including House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio, are demanding an independent investigation of what they call inappropriately heavy-handed politics...

U.S. Jobs Report Exaggerated

    U.S. President Barack Obama

    Several mainstream news outlets are reporting, U.S. President Barack Obama touting today's national job report, as proof the recovery is working, is a fraudulent claim. The economy added 500,000 jobs, but the majority of those positions, 411,000 posts, were for seasonal Census report workers. Translation, those were very temporary jobs.

    Obama's claims have thus been disproved. The President needs to stop relying on artificial results and get to the root of the real problem at hand, as pretending the unemployment problem is solved, when it is not, will only cause more damage in the long run and do greater harm to the American people.

    It is time to develop a sensible job plan, where the nation can create the maximum amount of jobs for the money allotted by Congress, without waste and misappropriation occurring again.

    May jobs report: Census inflates payrolls

    June 4, 2010: 2:20 PM ET - NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- A flood of temporary Census workers in May led to the biggest jump in jobs in ten years, the government reported Friday. Employers added 431,000 jobs in the month, up from 290,000 jobs added in April. It was the biggest gain in jobs since March 2000.

    But Census hiring was responsible for 411,000 of May's increase in employment. Private sector employers also added 41,000 jobs in the period, well below the 218,000 private sector job gains in April. Government payrolls other than Census declined by 21,000 jobs in May, due largely to job cuts by state and local governments.

    It was a disappointing number for private sector hiring, as economists surveyed by Briefing.com had forecast an overall gain of 500,000 in May. U.S. stocks traded sharply lower on the report, with the Dow Jones industrial average down more than 200 points in midday trading...

U.S. Economy Stalls Again

    U.S. President Barack Obama

    Based on released reports, the U.S. economy has stalled again, as consumer spending is down and unemployment continues at a rampant rate. Economists estimate, if the economy adds roughly 500,000 jobs per month, it will still take 5-years to lower the unemployment rate to 5%, indicating the damage is that extensive.

    Much of the damage was done during the Bush years and to save face, fake financial data was released to cover what was truly transpiring, with the corrected figures released this year.

    However, President Obama has squandered opportunities to add the maximum number of jobs possible, due to poor oversight of where stimulus funds landed.

    Some of the money was wasted via overpaying for job positions, decreasing the number of people that could have been hired with the stimulus funds available. In other instances, the funds were flat-out stolen or misappropriated.

    This is not Monopoly. The President cannot rely on consistently printing up more money in a bid to solve the nation's financial ills, as it is damaging America's international credit rating, drastically increasing the deficit and damaging the U.S. dollar. That money is not free. It is coming at a price. The massive government spending is not working.
