Anytime there is a positive sign from the economy the Progressive media complex proclaims the economy booming. Any slight improvement is heralded and trumped up as signs that we are roaring. The Obama Boom, as it was dubbed by Newsweek, is in reality an anemic economy weighed down by debt. It doesn’t matter to the Left. They redefine the meaning of boom as they see fit. An example was in 2005 when the economy was adding 150,000-200,000 jobs a month (which to be fair was sub-par compared to the job growth in the 80’s and 90’s), they claimed was anemic and signs of a stagnant economy. Now when there are 70,000-150,000 jobs a month created, Progressives call it impressive jobs creation. In the ultimate example of how the Left will manipulate data, an Economist from the Tranzi elitist school of Yale says his model shows an Obama win in 2012, due to a booming economy.
THINGS are looking up for Barack Obama.
You might not think so, given the flow of news lately. His foreign policy has met with limited success, at best. And, back home, unemployment is mired at 9.6 percent. Earlier this month, in a major political blow, Democrats lost more than 60 seats and control of the House of Representatives.
So what is there for Mr. Obama and his supporters to cheer about?
Try this: Based on the facts at hand right now, Mr. Obama is likely to win the 2012 election in a landslide. That, at least, is the prediction of Ray C. Fair, a Yale economist and an expert on econometrics and on the relationship of economics and politics.

Don’t underestimate the Obama Boom theme the media will be pushing hard. Just as they convinced Americans in 2005 the economy was stagnant, they can convince many that the economy is roaring now. Any growth rate of over 2.5% will be declared solid growth and sold to the American people as such. Progressives have the media, entertainment industry and academia. This is a powerful propaganda machine and one that can’t be underestimated. The fact that Barack Hussein Obama is continuing on and not doing a Clinton move to the center but sticking with Far Left policies shows they are confident in his re-election.
Many Conservatives feel 2012 will be a slam dunk, but they are deluding themselves. Progressives have a natural advantage that showed in the last election. Barack Hussein Obama’s appearance on the Daily Show, the fear mongering of the Black Nationalists in that community, the mobilization of Union GOTV efforts, fraud and the media’s non stop attacks on the Tea Party prevented the loss of 15 House Seats and 4 Senate seats. This in a year when the GOP led by double digits. That’s why it’s crucial that the 2012 nominee is a candidate in the Marco Rubio/Chris Cristie mold, Someone who can appeal to the Conservative base AND Independents. If the Republicans nominate someone in the mold of Sharron Angle (Democratic Plant and future Las Vegas hotel greeter), or Christine O’Donnell (nice woman but way out of her league), they are toast against this machine. The right Republican can win, but it will be tough!

9/11 Ground Zero Islamic Center applies for Federal Funds
This has to be the ultimate slap in the face towards this country. It’s bad enough that Islamic Imperialist, Imam Rauf, and his group are doing this as a slap in the face, now they are applying for public funds. That’s right, the development group lead by Sharif El-Gamal has applied for Federal funds that were allocated to rebuild lower Manhattan! This is done to humiliate America and show us who’s the boss!
Developers of the controversial Park51 Islamic community center and mosque located two blocks from Ground Zero earlier this month applied for roughly $5 million in federal grant money set aside for the redevelopment of lower Manhattan after the attacks of September 11th, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the matter.
The audacious move stands to reignite the embers of a divisive debate that dominated headlines surrounding the ninth anniversary of the attacks this fall, say people vested in the issue.
The application was submitted under a “community and cultural enhancement” grant program administered by the Lower Manhattan Redevelopment Corporation (LMDC), which oversaw the $20 billion in federal aid allocated in the wake of 9/11 and is currently doling out millions in remaining taxpayer funds for community development. The redevelopment board declined to comment on the application (as did officials from Park51), citing the still ongoing and confidential process of determining the grant winners.
If you need anymore proof about so called Islamic Immigration’s colonialist designs on this nation, this is it. Ask yourself, knowing full well the majority of New Yorkers and Americans oppose this disgrace, why do they have the audacity to do this? The reason is simple, our Bi-Partisan Elite of Tranzi Democrats and Wilsonian Republicans have coddled and given Islam and its followers preferences not given any other group in this nation. Our history textbooks are from an Islamic point of view and Islamic immigrants are given preferences in immigration visas (Latin Americans, Europeans, Indians and Asians wait 10-15 years, Muslims wait 6 months to 2 year), due to the diversity Visa program. In a way I can’t blame them for being bold, I would be as well if I had the elites behind me.
