$0Headline: Obama’s approval rating falls significantly in Ohio.$0$0Hey, B. Hussein, can you say “ground shifting beneath you?”$0$0$0$0$0    While of course it is ridiculous to suggest that a man who bleached his skin white and had his children fathered by a white guy is some sort of leader in the struggle for black equality, doesn’t Al Sharpton have a point? After all, would the Celebutard in Chief have been elected but for the transformation of the last election into another exhibition of our bizarre celebrity culture?$0$0$0$0$0    Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, as long as you’re advocating Congressional resolutions to honor important dead people like Michael Jackson, perhaps you might want to have one enacted for the men and women killed in Afghanistan and Iraq. Newsflash: normal Americans actually think being killed by bullets and bombs defending the rest of us is actually more significant than having a song that is number one with a bullet on the Billboard charts.$0$0$0$0$0    What was that line about the definition of insanity again? Remember back in February, Friday the 13th to be exact, when Barack Hussein Obama insisted that his $787 billion “stimulus” bill absolutely, positively had to be passed IMMEDIATELY, even before anyone in Congress had a chance to read it, or else, as in unemployment would increase to 8%? I think they call it a “fast one” for a reason, no? That was right before he jetted off to Chicago packed the First Klingon’s substantial derriere onto Air Force One for the first of a seemingly never-ending series of “date nights” and family vacations on our dime without signing the bill until the following Tuesday. Now that unemployment is 9.5% (how’s that hope and change working out, by the way?) he may want another “stimulus,” even as we have no clue where the first “stimulus” went. Perhaps he should read Michael Gerson’s piece, Obama’s Iceberg, in today’s WaPo:$0$0$0$0$0    Pouring money into the economy through a thirsty sponge of federal programs -- the preferred method of Congress -- is slow and inefficient. In retrospect, all of the stimulus funds should have been given to individuals directly from the tap.$0$0$0$0$0There are political implications of a weak recovery -- none of them good for the president.$0$0Obama's spending ambitions would have been jaw-dropping even in the best of economic times. Federal spending this year is about 28 percent of gross domestic product -- a figure exceeded only when Franklin Roosevelt was fighting a global war against Germany and Japan. Along the fiscal path Obama has chosen (according to the Congressional Budget Office) our national debt will more than double in 10 years and will amount to 82 percent of the entire economy.$0$0$0$0$0    Speaking of the “stimulus” over the weekend, Joe Biden said that the administration had “underestimated” how bad the economy that he and the man-god had inherited really was, but didn’t they tell us, when they were insisting on the necessity of this insane spending spree that the economy was as bad as the Great Depression? Does that mean that the economy is now worse than the Great Depression? Regardless, we know that the policy of profligate government spending didn’t work during the Great Depression, and in fact, has never worked, if by “work,” we mean actually improving the economy. If, on the other hand, we mean payback to unions and mascot groups that help democrats get elected, it “works” just as intended. That’s hope and change Barack and friends can believe in!$0$0$0$0$0    And speaking of Michelle Antoinette, what price do you suppose she will demand to forgive her husband’s gaffe in which he forgot the way that they met? How does he top the date night in Paris, followed by the private shopping spree for the family? Could this sudden need to placate his lippy old lady have anything to do with the need for another stimulus? No romance without finance, right Barry?$0$0 $0
