Obamamerica Year One


An Elephant Bar Roundup of The One's Accomplishments in 2009:

1. A $787 billion dollar stimulus bill sold as a job creator that made unemployment go to double digits, which he duly blamed on "Eight years of failed policies of the Bush Administration", except that including interest, the estimated trillion dollar cost of the stimulus bill all by itself will exceed the deficits of Bush's first three years combined.

2. Three months later when unemployment went from 10.2% to just 10.0 % Obama took all the credit for that. Whoop de do.

3. A Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing, or worse than nothing, considering that he took actual possession of the prize money right after jacking up US troop levels in Afghanistan by 30,000.

4. An end to the ban on federal funding of stem cell research, which is kind of moot since the federal government is broke.

5. Cash for clunkers, and a temporary blip in car sales as people took advantage of getting free money.

6. Ditto the first time home buyer incentive. Subsidize anything and you get more of it for a while, until your currency printing press breaks.

7. Enough czars to pack a tsardine can, among them a "Compensation Czar" that sounds like something right out of Atlas Shrugged.

8. General Motors was nationalized to shield the United Auto Workers union from the consequences of demanding a Cadillac of a compensation package. The government is now in the business of making cars, and they are competing directly with Ford which escaped having the workers seize the means of production. Expect future regulations such as mileage standards to punish Ford at the expense of Government Motors.

9. ????

10. ???? (Nothing else? That might be a good thing)

  1. 2. Three months later when unemployment went from 10.2% to just 10.0 % Obama took all the credit for that.

    Your doing a good job T.

    Thanks Deuce. I don't want to step on your posts, but if I see the comments get up over about 150 I'll whip something out to keep it from hitting 200. I hate that thing with multiple pages of comments.

    ReplyDelete
  14. T, in general, If something pops , I walk over my own posts. I agree on the double page. Sometimes I switch posts if one seems more interesting. The customer is always right.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Melody: Yeah...Yeah...Yeah...All you men are alike and just like to see two women flirting with each other.

    I'll get you a rainbow tie-dy tshirt that says, "Yes I am, no you can't watch"

  16. Melody: And, T, doesn't think I should experience pussy and stick to what really wags my tail.

    Gosh, MLD, whatever works, but if you do make the conversion, you get the traditional toaster oven for joining the team. Also some discount coupons for U-haul, Indigo Girls concerts, a labrys tattoo, and flannel shirts at Target, which you wear over your tank tops.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Oh T, earlier, I was thinking that this proposed $1.1 Trillion is Obama's first budget.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Don't forget the double cherries tattoo. That seems to be obligatory.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Oh man, I need a toaster, too.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Well, would you rather have a toaster or some free booze?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Whit, too bad there's no federal constitutional requirement to balance the budget like we have in WA, where even Queen Gregoire has to make cuts to obey the law.

  41. Prognosis, miserable

    The top of my head tingles
    Like I got the shingles
    My eyes are orbs aflame
    Teary and bloodshot
    My nose drips gallons
    Red as Rudolph
    My mustache is slicked
    With dripping snot
    My mouth is cotton dry
    My throat raw and sandy
    My heart labors apace
    My skin crawls, sweats
    And itches
    My gut is all in a knot
    My balls are retracted
    My pecker shriveled
    And a cry come from my bones
    Pleading out for cortizones
    My knees knock and shake
    My feet and toes are purple
    I'm told to drink plenty of water
    I try to get some sleep
    By counting sheep
    O'er leap they do the gate
    I drift to escaping sleep
    Then torturous, rise to urinate
    In short, Melody,
    I ain't doin' great
    I need some T L C
    From M L D

  42. Apologies to WiO for attributing his hard work to Whit, I was rushed for bed. Rufus, bob, thanks for liking my posts. The bigger compliment is in the fact that you took them as Deuce/Whit posts!
