on his way to Martha's Vineyard today.. shouldnt he be in washingto working with our elected officials trying to save my dwindling portfolio???
Obama has promised to reveal his plan to put America back to work just as soon as he returns from vacation. Liberal Democrats went berzerk when they heard he was taking another vacation instead of doing his job, so he agreed to cut his latest vacation short by a day... I have this observation... Being a school teacher, nearly everyone that I see every day are other teachers and various government workers who're nearly all liberal Democrats. Nearly all gave money to this president and voted for him; nearly all proudly displayed "Obama: Change You Can Believe In" bumperstickers on their cars since the 2008 election. At this moment, I can't find ANYONE who is going to vote for him. They're ashamed of their last vote; the bumperstickers have all disappeared and they're desperate for someone...anyone...to run against him and put an end to this nightmare.
The Dems locking in some more votes.... http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/aug/18/new-dhs-rules-cancel-deportations/
How's everybody's net worth doing? Hope and change. I had a reality check at lunch today. Went to one of my favorite spots that has been around here forever and the owner came over to our table and thanked us and announced he was closing his doors today. He said he has been losing money for two years; people just aren't coming in any longer in the numbers he needed to break even. Very sad and another 11 people out of work.
:idea: re: locking in the Hispanic vote Hispanics aren't stupid either. The latest Gallup poll shows Hispanic support for Obama has fallen below the Mendoza line...49%.
8) Photo released by the WH showing our president "working" on Martha's Vineyard." Note the Nike golf shirt...
:roll: "Millionaires and billionaires flying around on their corporate jets..." Barack and Michelle Obama flew into Martha's Vineyard on separate jets..."

by Mychal Massie At a time when many Americans can barely afford Burger King and a movie, Obama boasts of spending a billion dollars on his re-election campaign. Questioned at a recent appearance about the spiraling fuel costs, Obama said, “Get used to it” – and with an insouciant grin and chortle, he told another person at the event, who complained about the effect high fuel prices were having on his family, to “get a more fuel-efficient car.” The Obamas behave as if they were sharecroppers living in a trailer and hit the Powerball, but instead of getting new tires for their trailer and a new pickup truck, they moved to Washington . And instead of making possum pie, with goats and chickens in the front yard, they’re spending and living large at taxpayer expense – opulent vacations, gala balls, resplendent dinners and exclusive command performances at the White House, grand date nights, golf, basketball, more golf, exclusive resorts and still more golf. Expensive, ill-fitting and ill-chosen wigs and fashions hardly befit the first lady of the United States . The Obamas have behaved in every way but presidential – which is why it’s so offensive when we hear Obama say, in order “to restore fiscal responsibility, we all need to share in the sacrifice – but we don’t have to sacrifice the America we believe in.” The American people have been sacrificing; it is he and his family who are behaving as if they’ve never had two nickels to rub together – and now, having hit the mother lode, they’re going to spend away their feelings of inadequacy at the taxpayers’ expense. Obama continues to exhibit behavior that, at best, can be described as mobocratic and, at worst, reveals a deeply damaged individual. In a February 2010 column, I asked, “Is Obama unraveling?” I wrote that it was beginning to appear the growing mistrust of him and contempt for his policies was beginning to have a destabilizing effect on him. At that time, I wrote that not having things go one’s way can be a bitter pill, but reasonable people don’t behave as he was behaving. He had insulted Republicans at their luncheon, where he had been an invited guest. I had speculated that was, in part, what had led him to falsely accuse Supreme Court justices before Congress, the nation and the world, during the 2010 State of the Union address. It appeared, at that time, as if he were “fraying around the emotional edges.” That behavior has not abated – it has become more pronounced. While addressing the nation, after being forced to explain the validity of his unilateral aggression with Libya , America witnessed a petulant individual scowling and scolding the public for daring to insist he explain his actions. But during an afternoon speech to address the budget/debt, he took his scornful, unstable despotic behavior to depths that should give the nation cause for concern. Displaying a dark psychopathy more representative of an episode of “The Tudors” television series, he invited Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., to sit in the front row during his speech and then proceeded to berate both Ryan and Ryan’s budget-cutting plan. Even liberal Democrats were put off by the act. MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough questioned the sanity of Obama’s actions. Today, criticism is coming from all sides. A senior Democrat lawmaker said, “I have been very disappointed in [Obama], to the point where I’m embarrassed that I endorsed him. It’s so bad that some of us are thinking, is there some way we can replace him? How do you get rid of this guy?” (“Democrats’ Disgust with Obama,” The Daily Beast, April 15, 2011) Steve McCann wrote: Obama’s speech “was chock full of lies, deceit and crass fear-mongering. It must be said that [he] is the most dishonest, deceitful and mendacious person in a position of power I have ever witnessed” (“The Mendacity of Barack Obama,” AmericanThinker.com, April 15, 2011). McCann continued: ”[His] performance was the culmination of four years of outright lies and narcissism that have been largely ignored by the media, including some in the conservative press and political class who are loath to call [him] what he is in the bluntest of terms: a liar and a fraud.. That he relies on his skin color to intimidate, either outright or by insinuation [against] those who oppose his radical agenda only add to his audacity. It is apparent that he has gotten away with his character flaws his entire life, aided and abetted by sycophants around him.” With these being among the kinder rebukes being directed at Obama, and with people becoming less intimidated by his willingness to use race as a bludgeon, with falling poll numbers in every meaningful category and an increasingly aggressive tea-party opposition – how much longer before he cracks completely? The coming months of political life are not going to be pleasant for Obama. Possessed by a self-perceived palatine mindset, that in his mind places him above criticism, how long before he cracks in public? Can America risk a man with a documented track record of lying and misrepresenting truth as a basic way of life, who is becoming increasingly more contumelious?
Heard a guy say this weekend we are heading to a DOW below 5000, and that you should sell all your stocks in the next 2 months as that will be the high. He doesn't think you should buy back into the market till 2014 at the earliest and he looks for it to be taking off in 2020. Oh great I'll be drooling in a nursing home by then.
If you remember T, in 2008 I said we were headed for 5000 dow 500 nasdaq. everyone laughed....its coming! Time running out....each time we hit a high I swear im bailing...never do. You got long term care insurance?
