I feel like President Barack Obama has been running for president of the United States for at least four of the past four years. Turn on the television or crank up the radio and there is his image and his patented soothing baritone voice bleating out some feel-good patriotic gobble-de-gook about the other guy, you know the one, that rich guy over there, who has taken advantage of us by paying half of what he makes to state, local, and federal taxes, additional fees sometimes apply.
Obama, in his staccato, drones on and on like a perpetual motion machine, never tiring, never changing, never interesting, never believable on anything that really, really matters.
His economic policy: let Bernanke and the rich white guys over at that private bank called the Federal Reserve, handle it. Add liquidity, lower values, destroy savings.
His energy policy: give billions in guaranteed loans to friendly campaign bundlers of green energy start-ups and look the other way when all the money is gone with nothing to show for it, not even one molecule of CO2 less circulating in our atmosphere for these billions of dollars of handouts to his friends. Institute policies that close down coal power plants and cause electric rates to "necessarily skyrocket." Stop drilling permits on federal lands. Start a war on domestic oil and gas production and on coal.
His foreign policy: help destabilize the middle east so we can be tied up over there fighting the middle earthers who are content to brutalize females and herd goats if we would just leave them to their own devices.
His Domestic policy: grow welfare, shrink the private sector, grow government dependency and destroy the American health care system, and with his wife, Michelle's,new public school policy now in play for school lunches, along with not being able to get a decent education our kids can't even get a decent meal at school. Truth be known, many of our children only attended school for the free meal it provided, that and the opportunity for teacher on student sex. I predict truancy will skyrocket when the sex is outlawed. Make the Catholic's use birth control and abort babies.
Forward is forewarned.
I spoke desparagingly in the last post of President Obama's squirrelly effete little muppet hands as he tried to ball up the five trillion dollar Romney economic plan, I forgot to mention his yellowed demonic eyes which seemed to spew daggers and fire at Romney during certain phases of the last debate. Creepy, and now we learn he watches the Superbowl by himself?
No man is an island, but if Al Gore, Jr wades out into the ocean he would look a great deal like one given his corpulent size of late.
Hit the scary music from the "Exorcist".
Forward, fade.

Urban Poverthy Law Center: Ben and Timmy's, I Scream!
And you can't see the forest for the trees. A common mistake when urban folks head out into the countryside. Another mistake is Ben Bernanke's steerage of the Federal Reserve Bank's monetary policy. Quantitative Easing II ended quietly and with no fanfare on June 30, 2011. That ping and whine down you heard at your bank was the last coins striking an empty vault as the feds ginormous printing presses spun down. The dollar paper makers did not stop making dollar paper, since they do not believe this congress will hold the line on the debt ceiling.
Tim Geithner announced a new Treasury plan this week to stimulate the stock markets, the federal assist in recovering troubled stocks, FARTS, along with his desire to step down as the Secretary of Treasury.
FARTS plans to infuse a pant load of newly created money into the stock market to inflate the value of stocks which Geithner believes will by necessity relieve the downward pressure on the dollar when compared to a basket of other, mostly third world, fiat currencies.
"I feel very confident that the US dollar will do well against the Zimbabwean Dollar, the Mexican Peso and Somali Shillings." He was quoted as stating.
Geithner went on to say, "If the FARTS program is as successful as I believe it can be, then President Obama may be the first leader who FARTS his way to re-election in 2012!"
Chinese President, Hu, was the first of many world leaders to say US FARTS are fouling the international investment community and something drastic must be done to clear the air.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel stated all of Europe is holding its nose when she learned of the new Geithner plan. "I do not think the US knows how Geitner's FARTS will effect Greece in its recovery effort."
Geithner was asked how big a FART was planned by the Federal Reserve, and though they have not settled on a final figure, he said it would be very substantial.
To which, Mark Halpern, formerly of Time and CNN, blurted out, "In other words a very large FART?
"Yes, Mark, a very large FART. Perhaps a FART that will be heard round the world!"

Urban Poverty Law Center Take On Donald Trump
Donald Trump, the New York business tycoon, is an outspoken character who has found his political voice after years of silence. Maybe he was like me, a political agnostic, who was content to go along with what the majority of Americans decided over the past 200 years using their collective good judgements. Flash forward to the post Reagan years.
Bush 41 was not interested in political life witness his constant watch checking in his debate with the Governor of Arkansas whom one independent candidate, also in the debate, would not have hired to run a mid-sized Wal-Mart store let alone turn him loose on the country. Then came Bush 43, who was a big spender and lead us off the financial cliff with his unpaid for wars and tax cuts for the wealthiest among us.
After Bush 43, the country went bananas for a smooth talking, correction, smooth reading, baritone vocalizing, thin man from Hawaii. From what I can see he has great handlers, but is not too sharp on his feet. He needs to answer questions off the cuff with more pizazz and less stammer and stutter. He also seems to be rudderless and sails back and forth across the political spectrum with the tides and trade winds. His only saving grace is his election kept us from having to watch Hillary Clinton grow old over the next few years. Even Chris Mathews and Larry Kudlow are thankful as hell for that.
Michael Moore has not weighed in on this yet, he wants to lose a few pounds gaming in Monte Carlo before he goes public on the Hillary aging thing.
Here is the meat of this coconut. The majority of Americans can no longer be trusted to do the right thing with the vote. They have learned they can vote treasure from one class of citizens to themselves. The republic will end unless the rule of law prohibits such takings in the future. If the courts do not stand up for the haves, who are hard working Americans in the right place at the right time, who were willing to forgo the pleasures of leisure and dope and instead opted for hard work, study, and risk taking, then The American Dream is dead.
The Tea Party movement is the culmination of the haves who have had enough of this nonsense. They will throw both political parties under the bus and drive this great American Dream maker into the 21 century with a new crew. Washington and the ruling punditry is misunderestimating the American haves. Tea Partiers believe in opportunity for success garnered through hard work, some luck and American innovation in an environment that protects private property rights.
Now a vocal segment of society, cheered on by a president who considers a tough day of work that par 5 at Andrews Air Force Base, denigrates this minority class who produce and work and earn money. They believe these "rich people" are not paying their fair share of the bloated cost of government. I, Jackson Delano Maybolt, second cousin of our most beloved 4 term president twice removed by marriage, cry foul! Who is looking out for the civil rights of this most vilified minority, the wealthiest 1%?
Is discrimination based upon wealth any less heinous than on race, religion, or sexual preference? Joe Biden, you can answer this soft ball question, can't you?
The wealthy are paying as much as they can afford. Have any of these government officials bought anything with money they had to earn the old fashion way since 1963?
Hey, Joe Biden, milk is over $4 a gallon as are gasoline and diesel. Are you stupid?
That question does not need to be answered.
Donald Trump, if that is his real name, is about to loose everything as the value of the dollar fades like Brett Farve in his 40's. The Federal Reserve's policy of monetizing the debt is the beginning of the end.
I paid the federal government $5,567 on my modest income this year. Can I ask Uncle Ben Bernanke to print that money and give it to the US Treasury in my name so I can keep my money to pay my secretary a living wage? No, why not? Whose money is it?
George W. Bush justified his invasion of Iraq with his famous quip: "That oil belongs to the Iraqi people." By that same token, the money Uncle Ben is printing belongs to the American people and for every dollar he prints, each dollar "We the People" have is diminished in value. It is grand theft and nobody is doing anything about it.
Maybe Donald Trump is trying to stop the wholesale theft of our country and its treasure. I am not hopeful, so for now I will continue to do what needs to be done in these times of inflation. If I have a dollar, I will quickly spend it before it is worthless! I suggest any of you who want to ride out this inflation do the same.
