Obama Creates Jobs – in Brazil
Captain Kickass is finally getting around to creating jobs. The only problem is they will be in Brazil. Now that Obama has decided to shut all oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, the rigs will move off-shore to Brazil – where some of them will drill DEEPER than the BP rig was drilling when it exploded 55 days ago:
Reuters reported, via Free Republic:
Brazil could benefit from the BP Gulf of Mexico spill as a U.S. moratorium on offshore drilling boosts available rigs for the country’s deep water oil exploration program.
Even as an ecological catastrophe makes the future of U.S. offshore drilling less certain, Brazil is plowing ahead with a $220 billion five-year plan to tap oil fields even deeper than BP’s (BP.L) ill-fated Gulf well, which is still leaking crude.
With an estimated 35 rigs idled in the Gulf of Mexico, Brazil is already receiving inquiries from companies looking to move their rigs here, where vast discoveries in recent years may soon turn the country into a major crude exporter.
“What is bad for some may be good for others,” said Fernando Martins, Latin America Vice President for GE Oil and Gas, which provides services to drillers in Brazil.
“Since operators are shutting down at least temporarily in the U.S. Gulf, some companies are planning to move their rigs to Brazil now,” he said, without offering details.
Figuring Out Obama’s Plan?
‘Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.” — Benito Mussolini
“…In the technical sense, in the economic definition of a what a socialist is, no, [Obama]‘s not a socialist. He’s a corporatist. And unfortunately we have corporatists inside the Republican party and that means you take care of corporations and corporations take over and run the country.” – Ron Paul
We Will Never Say Thank You

Obamunism: More Tent Cities
There are foreclosed homes standing empty all over our communities. If you’ve been wondering what happened to those people, wondering where they go – well, the new homeless in America are moving into shanty towns and tent cities, and its been going on now for at least 3 years. And folks, it’s only going to get worse. This is BBC coverage from 2 years ago but it is worse in 2010:
It Only Costs $940 Billion
If his lips are moving, he’s lying. Obama wants you to believe that his Obamacare plan will save money in the long run so they are pulling numbers out of their ass – when in truth, there is no way to know how much this frankenstein of a bill will finally cost – but it’ll be north of $2.5 trillion when you add in government waste plus fraud.
Here’s the take from Investors Business Daily:
By presenting the CBO with incomplete, inaccurate and misleading data, the Democrats in Congress were finally able to come up with a cost score they like: $940 billion.
That’s the estimate the CBO arrived at. Like a used car dealer pricing a car at $9,999 instead of $10,000, the hucksters in Congress were anxious to get the official cost below the scary $1 trillion level at which things suddenly sound very unaffordable.
Using the rigged $940 billion estimate, Democratic leaders now hope to force a health care bill through as early as Saturday, seizing 17% of the U.S. economy by simply “deeming” the bill is passed — rather than actually passing it in an up-or-down vote.
In fact, the real cost of this health care takeover is more like $2.5 trillion over 10 years — not $940 billion. That’s off by, oh, 166%.
Here’s a better idea: KILL THE BILL. Cost? …. ZERO
Obama Aims For Mediocre 2-Term Stint
Obama is going to vote “present” on the remaining 35 months of his term … so he can focus on his reelection campaign.
Screw the kids, it’s the RETIRED teachers our tax dollars are supporting: “…The [school] board will cut band and sports, and increase class size, to make the pension payments.”
The ACORN Crime Family is shutting down and ReNaming is Underway. But wait! If they aren’t around to launder money, how will politicians pocket billions of taxpayer dollars for themselves?
Gallup’s daily measure of U.S. employment reveals that 19.9% of the U.S. workforce was underemployed last month, translating to close to 30 million Americans who are working less than their desired capacity.

Gulp. Millions of unemployed Americans could face “years” without jobs?

Denver Tea Party Brings Out Conservatives and Pumas
I attended the Denver Tea Party yesterday, very happy to be representin’ my conservative people – who are (apparently) now considered Right Wing Extremists (like the woman below – LOL!) according to Janet Napolitano. Oooh! FEAR Us!
If you love God, love your family, love your country, and love your countrymen – then you are an Enemy of the Obama Government (it is no longer the US Government). But what was really great to see at the Denver rally – and at the other hundreds of rallies across the US – was the number of young people, college age and under 30, who showed up. There were no pro-Obama counter-protesters at the rally, despite the call by Daily Kos to disrupt the nationwide events and turn them into angry protests.
Instead, the protest was attended by 5,000 well-behaved but pissed taxpayers and concerned citizens who exercised their freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. Many were rather sheepish to be at the event, but face it, conservatives aren’t good at this kind of protest thing. It took Congress going on a trillion-plus dollar stimulus spending spree on our money to bring out people who had never before attended a political or protest rally.
As for the people who drove by on Colfax Avenue, they honked and rolled down their windows and cheered when they realized what the huge mass of people in front of the capitol building were there protesting!
It’s just the beginning. We are going to learn and get better and we will bring more people next time. We are not a small minority. After all, 47% of the electorate voted against Obama. It’s not like he has a mandate, and many of the 53% that did support him are now very worried that their Messiah isn’t The Won they thought he was.

Brilliant Brit Should Be Elected POTUS
Please watch the most important 3 minutes and 29 seconds you’ll spend today viewing this clip of an eloquent Daniel Hannan, MEP for South East England, schooling PM Gordon Brown for his Obama-style massive spending and debt which is driving England to ruin — “You have run out of our money!”
Hannan points out that the PM has run up a debt in Great Britain of 10% deficit to GDP. Worse than Hungary. Worse than Pakistan. And know this: Obama now has run a 12% Deficit to GDP in the United States!
I saw this Hannan fellow should be voted in as our President. After all, that whole “natural born citizen” thingy is of No Matter anymore…
Collateral Damage of AIG Rich-hunt
You know about the laws of unintended consequences – you do one thing and five other things are blown up because of it. In the Financial Times: Banker fury over tax ‘witch-hunt’.
Senior executives on both sides of the Atlantic on Friday warned of an exodus of talent from some of the biggest names in US finance, saying the “anti-American” measures smacked of “a McCarthy witch-hunt” that would send the country “back to the stone age”. . . . “There are three big industries where the US has global leadership: financial services, media and technology. Introducing this 90 per cent tax is like taking one of those industries out the back and shooting it,” said a top Wall Street executive.
Obama not only intends to bankrupt the United States, but send our best financial brains out of the country to get away from punitive taxes and those ACORN Rich-hunters.
