Obama said that. While visiting Solyndra . And laying out how a centralized command and control economy run by a bunch of arrogant, ignorant faculty lounge socialists will work to correct the unfairness and social injustices of the filthy free market system.
With its filthy unfair injustices.
Just wanted to post that here as a reminder. Because lord knows the press doesn’t seem to think the irony is delicious and, dare I say, newsworthy.
What I said earlier about the job writing campaign ads? Yeah, that.
And this from Andrew McCarthy :
This guy has no clue. It is either a criminal betrayal of public trust or GROSS in competence. Or both.
No matter, because Bush threw away absolutely billions in Iraq, without even asking for a receipt.
Oh, right. Carry on.
At this point, incompetence is getting a bit overused. I’d have to go with “criminal betrayal of public trust” for one BEEL-ION dollars.
One billion? There’s ten billion more going out the door by the thirtieth of this very month, and the White House is in a hurry to get it done before the allotted time limit passes.
The press is covering Solyndra. To a certain extent.
Because that way, the press can avoid covering “Fast and Furious” which is a far worse scandal than half a billion dollars of graft and corruption.
Same playbook the press used with President Clinton.
The press made the impeachment hearings “just about sex” and avoided any real reporting about Waco, FBI files in the basement of the White House, perjury, etc.
Shovel ready jobs!
Now the hole has been dug, time to fill it in.
More shovel ready jobs!
I can’t believe you people don’t see the benefits of government created jobs…
Heck, this will keep an army of lawyers employed in the BK court – Jobs created or saved!
Isn’t this the type of thing that would have caused a no-confidence vote in a parliamentary system? I guess our “no-confidence” vote has to wait until next year.
Oh, and – before we bail out the EU with Mystery Money, shouldn’t we get some kind of collateral?
How about liens on all their capitals? I bet you could get a pretty penny on the open market for a city like Paris or Rome, once you made the “natives” get out.
Athens, well, ok – not so much.
I’d give maybe a few tens of thousands of dollars for Athens, sight unseen.
mojo, I’d bid on Trier.
See, the thing about Athens that most people don’t understand is that the people there are simply trying to maximize the value and revenue potential of their property.
What’s the most valuable part of Athens? The ruins. Hence, the people turning their neighborhoods into ruins are just trying to cash in. It’s simple once you understand.
Question, OT: if I am following somebody on Twitter, but that person’s Tweets don’t show up in my reader, why may that be?
I asked on Twitter, but such is the FORCE of my followers on Twitter that I didn’t get a single response.
Thanks in advance.
Some tweets may not show up if they are directed at someone else. If they send a message that starts with @otherUser then you will normally not see them. The way around that is for the person to write it with a leading period, “.@otherUser,” but there’s nothing you can do about it, other than to look at their feed directly.
