Obama's greatest hits
As a result, I thought it would be a good idea to reflect on the One's last candidacy......
I wonder How Peggy's handling that 3.89 a gallon gas?
Obama's mortgage is underwater?
Should the Obamas walk away from their million dollar mansion? Should they short sell?
With the recent decline in housing prices, the Obamas' Chicago mansion could be worth less than the value of their mortgages.
In mid 2005, the Obamas purchased their dream home for $1,650,000 in Chicago's Kenwood area. Since then, real estate prices have dropped considerably and their mortgages may be underwater like millions of other Americans who bought real estate before the housing bubble burst.
But hey. If you would have read my post in 2008, you would have already known that he received a sub prime mortgage in the first place.

Stuff liberals run - student loans
Where's the same outrage over student loans.
Liberals have been preying on students to borrow to their eyeballs to get degrees that may or may not ever provide a return on investment.............
Carrying more debt after they leave campus, more students defaulted on their student loans after the recession hit in 2008 and 2009.So let's see. If you default on a mortgage you can walk away with a credit blemish and a potential foreclosure on your record. If you default on a student loan, you never walk away. It's easier to walk away from Carmine the Loan Shark.The newest numbers from the Department of Education show that 13.8 percent of students whose loans first came due starting in October 2007 and had defaulted by September 2010.
The results are the first trial of a three-year rate, which drove up the numbers for most schools from the previous two-year window and made it difficult to compare with previous years. Defaults generally come after the loan is at least 270 days delinquent.

April fools
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) announced today, in the first of a series of stunning announcements, that its television subsidiary the Public Broadcasting System (PBS) will be replacing the defunct Bill Moyers Journal with a new weekly program, Ann Coulter's Far Out Journey.
The Coulter show is one of several dramatic changes to the public broadcasting network composed of PBS and its corporate sibling National Public Radio (NPR). The changes are the result of major upheavals in the wake of the firing of NPR commentator Juan Williams and covert 60 Minutes-style videos from journalist James O'Keefe showing NPR executives entertaining financial offers from "donors" they believed to be representing the Muslim Brotherhood. The shift in approach is also a direct consequence of the Republican and Tea Party victories in the U.S. House and Senate in the 2010 elections.
What's wrong with our economy?
When you have more people in the wagon than pulling it, you have a problem....
If you want to understand better why so many states—from New York to Wisconsin to California—are teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, consider this depressing statistic: Today in America there are nearly twice as many people working for the government (22.5 million) than in all of manufacturing (11.5 million). This is an almost exact reversal of the situation in 1960, when there were 15 million workers in manufacturing and 8.7 million collecting a paycheck from the government.
It gets worse. More Americans work for the government than work in construction, farming, fishing, forestry, manufacturing, mining and utilities combined. We have moved decisively from a nation of makers to a nation of takers. Nearly half of the $2.2 trillion cost of state and local governments is the $1 trillion-a-year tab for pay and benefits of state and local employees. Is it any wonder that so many states and cities cannot pay their bills?
Every state in America today except for two—Indiana and Wisconsin—has more government workers on the payroll than people manufacturing industrial goods. Consider California, which has the highest budget deficit in the history of the states. The not-so Golden State now has an incredible 2.4 million government employees—twice as many as people at work in manufacturing. New Jersey has just under two-and-a-half as many government employees as manufacturers. Florida's ratio is more than 3 to 1. So is New York's.
Even Michigan, at one time the auto capital of the world, and Pennsylvania, once the steel capital, have more government bureaucrats than people making things. The leaders in government hiring are Wyoming and New Mexico, which have hired more than six government workers for every manufacturing worker.
Seriously, think about this in terms of your own home. You cannot have more people working inside your home than you bring home to pay them.
It's really that simple.
