Obama Says, "Stimulus Worked," While Jobs Still Tanking


"When we pass this stimulus bill, unemployment will not go above 9%," Barack Obama promised, in the first month of his Presidency. The Congress shot the stimulus package thru, faster than they could read it. However, today's unemployment has gone from 8.3% to 9.5%, in just five months. America has lost over 1.5 million jobs, since the "stimulus bill" was passed. For the month of June (alone), 200-300,000 more jobs have been lost (not counting the number of people who are not reporting, trying to collect unemployment, or are just down and out) and the unemployment rate is 9.6-10.1%.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, if Barack Obama is a good President, doing a good job, but there is no debating a concrete set of statistics. Yet, on Wednesday, President Obama came out and said, "the stimulus package is a complete success." However, there was little reported on the quote, the problem with Barack Obama's outlook on the economy, and the overall hemorrhage of jobs in the country. There is also a problem with the "Cap and Trade" policy, for Barack Obama. The "Al Gore global warming mantra" (which progressives/liberals, at a 76% rate, see as undebatable) took a hit, as emails/reports from the E. P. A. were buried (by the administration, or it's minions) and several top scientists (who think global warming is not man made, or there is no global warming at all) are banned from the upcoming scientific conference, in Russia (coming in two weeks). "Cap and Trade" and global warming are not getting accurately reported, or not reported on at all (by the mainstream and other media outlets), because of the blind obsession for Obama, the amount of control and money it is making the government, and "liberal/progressive" control (they yearn for, regardless of outcome). Longing for "huge government" and more liberties taken away, leading America farther down the Socialist Road, there is no oversight and the media is M. I. A..

President Obama is killing democracy and capitalism, one idea/bill at a time. People have to start calling Congressmen, Senators, the White House, write blogs, letters, and go above the "regular day's duties," in order to stop this madness. Coupled with the above information and countless undertow of big government, closed door decisions, America is slowly becoming a government state, not a democracy. America is going down a road, in which it may never be able to come back. Electing "Saturday Night Live" comedians to the Senate (Al Franken), no debating over anything the Obama White House does not deem necessary, and watching the media covering Michael Jackson's death five-six-seven days in a row (while Iran, N. Korea, the Iraqi pull out, and other things are not covered at all), show just how America is being taken apart like a set of "Lincoln Logs." It is up to you, because the government is on it's way to damage people, at every level of their lives. The government wants the power to say whether, or not, you can sell your house the way it is (with "Cap & Trade" a person will have to retro-fit your house, to be "Green"), how you can sell your car (then what kind of car you can buy after, and if you do not buy that car, you will be taxed at a higher rate), breaking countless promises and not being held accountable ("I will not tax anyone, who makes under $250,000, ever," is what Obama said in the primaries, but "Cap & Trade" will tax every person in the country, from the food they eat, to how they live) to the kind of foods and medicines (over the counter, Tylenol, and prescription medications, Vicodin) a person can take. Is this the way Americans want to live? Are Americans able to make the choice, or not, on what medicines they want to buy (over the counter)? What their kids learn at school, or not?

If you didn't like George W. Bush's way of leading the country (listening to phone calls and the other things, which did not infringe on daily life, but were more towards protecting the country), then you will be utterly flabbergasted, after two years of Barack Obama's Presidency. His "change" has no "Hope", it is just changing your life, to be under more and more governmental control. It seems like every big screen movie has a faux life of about five to seven years. After the five to seven years, the movies are becoming part of the American (possibly the world's) landscape. "V for Vendetta" came out just four years ago, but now it doesn't look so fictional anymore (as the government wants to tell you what to do and control you more and more). Don't believe me, go watch that movie, then think about what America would be like if "Cap & Trade", another "Stimulus Bill", and the "Obama-Care/Universal Health Care" is all passed. Why do you think Barack Obama wanted all of these things passed in his first year? He wants it all done, in order to have it in place and law, so it will not be able to be challenged (hence, passing bills in Congress without reading them, four times, in six months). Think about it!
