NY Times justifying high unemployment during the Obama Boom

In the 2000’s when 150,000 jobs a month were created, the Progressive media called it stagnant job growth. They would compare Bush’s record to Clinton and use it as a club. The truth is that due to the nature of the global economy, America is uncompetitive because of its tax and regulatory structure. We have a 20th century model competing in a 21st century economy. The result has been declining wages and living standards for Americans since 2001. Yet the media blamed the Bush tax cuts for this decline and convinced Americans that Conservative policies failed, never mind that Bush was no economic Conservative. Now that Barack Hussein Obama is president, the media is saying that low job growth and high unemployment is normal.

With the release of the December jobs report, employment now officially sits at 9.4 percent and over half of those people have been out of work for over six months. That’s the highest long term unemployment rate since World War II. On top of that, more than 12 million people would like to be employed in full-time jobs but have either given up looking or can only find part-time work.

Yet despite the employment situation, the United States economy continues to recover. Consumer spending is up and investment and corporate profits are doing fine. So how is it possible that by some indications we are currently living in the worst economic conditions since the early 20th century, and by other measures we are living in the most economically productive time in all of history?

That’s right, things are as good as they are going to get. This will be the theme of Obama’s 2012 campaign. He will claim things are the best they can be and will run on his personality. He will use the Tuscon shooting to remind people of his healing abilities and will make it a personality contest. None of the GOP hopefuls like Romney, Palin, Huckabee or Gingrich have any new ideas to restore economic hope and opportunity for Americans. Instead they will push family values and just the mantra of less government to try to beat Obama. This will not work as Obama will make it about him and thus win.

This paragraph from the NY Times article shows the dishonesty of Progressives by smoothing over bad times.

The problem is not over for the persistently unemployed workers, and it’s hard to forecast how long it will take to return to a much lower unemployment rate. Still, U.S. labor markets are relatively free, training opportunities are numerous, and America has not ceased to be a land of opportunity. The current discomfort is not a death rattle, but we do need to learn to live with the growing pains.

Can you imagine them saying this is a Republican was President?

Update: The media’s lies of an Obama Boom and his new message of national healer is working. His approval rating is back upamong various polls. The GOP’s surrender in the lame duck session and their lack of aggression is making Obama look strong. The Progressive propaganda is working and unless the GOP gets serious about economic reforms, Obama will be re-elected in 2012.

Progressives count on the Obama Boom for 2012 and update on 9/11 Ground Zero Mosque

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!

Americans across the nation are resisting Islamic Colonialism

As Yamamoto warned his fellow Japanese, “We have awakened a sleeping giant”.

Nine years after September 11, 2001 with continued attacks and appeasement on the part of our Progressive bi-partisan elite, the American people have woke up.  Polls show the majority of Americans don’t like Islam and are tired of it’s encroachment in America. The September 11th ground zero Islamic Colonial center was the straw that broke the camel’s back. This is a flagrant insult to our nation and even in Leftist NY the majority of residents are opposed to this abomination. In Staten Island an Islamic Colonial outpost was rejected by the residents of the Midlands neighborhood. From Tennessee to California, Americans have had enough Islamic Imperialism. The article I link to is from the NY Times, so it’s Pro-Islamic, but it shows the growing resistance.

While a high-profile battle rages over a mosque near ground zero in Manhattan, heated confrontations have also broken out in communities across the country where mosques are proposed for far less hallowed locations.

In Murfreesboro, Tenn., Republican candidates have denounced plans for a large Muslim center proposed near a subdivision, and hundreds of protesters have turned out for a march and a county meeting.

In late June, in Temecula, Calif., members of a local Tea Party group took dogs and picket signs to Friday prayers at a mosque that is seeking to build a new worship center on a vacant lot nearby.

In Sheboygan, Wis., a few Christian ministers led a noisy fight against a Muslim group that sought permission to open a mosque in a former health food store bought by a Muslim doctor.

At one time, neighbors who did not want mosques in their backyards said their concerns were over traffic, parking and noise — the same reasons they might object to a church or a synagogue. But now the gloves are off.

In all of the recent conflicts, opponents have said their problem is Islam itself. They quote passages from the Koran and argue that even the most Americanized Muslim secretly wants to replace the Constitution with Islamic Shariah law.

The fact the Tranzi Totalitarian Progressive rag, the NY Times, is lamenting that Americans are resisting their Islamic allies shows that they are scared. For too long our leaders (in both parties) have appeased and even given immigration preferences to people from Islamic countries and have taught the Islamic version of history in our own schools. Islam is the one religion that is not allowed to be attacked while Catholic and Evangelical bashing is encouraged in our society.

Well no more, the sleeping giant has awakened and we are no longer tolerant of our enemies.

This is my message to Dar Al Islam: Don’t expect that the next Republican President will declare your racist ideology a religion of peace. Don’t expect that in the next round of fighting we will go in as goody goodies and build you schools. Expect nothing but a Mongol style destruction without mercy. Our patience is running out and after we destroy the Progressive movement and restore our economy you are next!

Take that as warning from a pissed of American!

NY Times hails Progressive Era

The Radical Totalitarian Progressive agenda is being shoved down the throats of the American people. From the eugenics based Obamacare to the ‘borrow massively from China act’ aka the Stimulus Bill, the Progressives are imposing their will despite polls. The NY Times, which is their main propaganda paper, is hailing this as a new era. They proclaim it a Progressive era. This is gloating that they are ruling against the will of the people.

With the Senate’s passage of financial regulation, Congress and the White House have completed 16 months of activity that rival any other since the New Deal in scope or ambition. Like the Reagan Revolution or Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society, the new progressive period has the makings of a generational shift in how Washington operates.

First came a stimulus bill that, while aimed mainly at ending a deep recession, also set out to remake the nation’s educational system and vastly expand scientific research. Then President Obama signed a health care bill that was the biggest expansion of the safety net in 40 years. And now Congress is in the final stages of a bill that would tighten Wall Street’s rules and probably shrink its profit margins.

They are celebrating the imposition of a Neo-Feudal system on America. This is the reason the NY Times is a collapsing paper. They are against the American people.
