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.

The Sinking of the Obama
The SS Obama is Taking on Water after hitting an iceberg named the American citizen.
This will piss them off: A prominent Illinois Democrat is vice chair of a group paying Sarah Palin $100,000 to appear. The speech sold out on the first day.
The Nothingness called Carbon Trading Market: “… is based on lack of delivery of an invisible substance to no-one.”
Gulp. Millions of unemployed Americans could face “years” without jobs?
Handsome dudes Todd Palin and partner Scott Davis have started the 2010 Iron Dog race.
The People Obama Hires
Spreading the Incompetence: What kind of message does a President send when he puts a bankruptcy lawyer in charge of the manufacturing sector? It’s comparable to appointing a tax cheat to run the Treasury… oh… wait… never mind.
Once a Marxist-Socialist, Always a Marxist-Socialist.

This says it all…
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.

Obama Unifies the Nation against Washington DC
The best article you will read today is by JB Williams at Canada Free Press. Here are some excerpts to whet the appetite:
“I assure you, no elected official in world history has ever gone from messiah to moron in public opinion polls, so fast. The rising star has become a falling meteor headed for ground, in just two short months.”
“It took leftists seventy years of deficit spending to put the nation a trillion dollars in debt. It took Obama and Pelosi less than six weeks in power to quadruple that number while killing off any hope for a free market recovery of the economy.”
“…Obama is on track to make real history. By the two month anniversary of his inauguration on March 20th, the strongly opposed will equal the strongly in favor, as the DOW continues its slide towards a 40% drop in value since Obama was elected. Unemployment pushes towards 10% and manufacturing companies, one after another, either seek bankruptcy or taxpayer funds to stay afloat.”
“The people who voted for Obama were only voting to gain access to other people’s wealth and prosperity. But the people coming together across this nation are coming together to put down the rising tide of Marxism, one way or another.”
It’s Obamanomics
“We can’t blame President Obama for the mess he inherited. But we can definitely blame him for making it worse. Stocks are off 28.4% since his election, 15.2% since his inauguration, and 17.2% since his so-called “stimulus” bill was enacted. To say the very least, whatever he’s doing, it ain’t working.”
