Any so called “Buffett Rule” Obama is touting wouldn’t bring in all that much revenue, anyway. Hopefully the broader middle class will figure out precisely where Obama is headed in terms of new revenue aka taxes. The bulk of America’s wealth rests within the middle-class. That’s precisely where Obama and the Democrats will go to get it, if they have their way.
What does an amateur in the White House look like when he goes to the UN? An amateur, of course. Put down your hand, Barry, the bathroom break comes after the photo op. We’ve already told you that, twice, son. Geesh.
It’s being claimed that at least 200 Mexico murders resulted from Operation Fast and Furious. Obama’s focused on wiping out our middle class and Holder is concentrating on Mexico. Heckuva job, guys! Heckuva job.
Here is the full text of a letter from Republicans to Bernanke questioning anticipated actions by the Fed.
It is our understanding that the Board Members of the Federal Reserve will meet later this week to consider additional monetary stimulus proposals. We write to express our reservations about any such measures. Respectfully, we submit that the board should resist further extraordinary intervention in the U.S. economy, particularly without a clear articulation of the goals of such a policy, direction for success, ample data proving a case for economic action and quantifiable benefits to the American people.
The GOP is also pressuring Holder to investigate Solyndra. How much they pony up for Obama’s re-election bid might have more to say about that. Meanwhile, Solyndra executives plan to ‘take the fifth‘ when they appear before Congress.
Google+ is now open to the public, if you go in for the whole Internet thing. Don’t let the fact that Al Gore invented it discourage you. Oh, wait, … he didn’t. Maybe it’s not so bad in that case. Of course, Google is going before Congress today to try and answer growing questions about their business, practices and privacy policies, so you might just want to stick to Facebook. (Google has suddenly discovered there is a Republican party and is busy cozying up to it.)
Jerry Brown ran for CA Governor based upon his claim of being an old hand. Now, the NYTs reports:
… associates say he appears bewildered and stunned by how much Sacramento has changed since he first served.
As if Brown needed any help to appear bewildered. In his case, it’s always been considered SOP.
UH OH: Bill Clinton comes out against the Obama Tax Plan.
The most open secret in DC is that Obama is going to base his reelection campaign on running against Congressional Republicans (at least until an actual opponent emerges.) Stu Rothenberg says, um, that might be trickier than you think.
Especially since Obama is sparking anger among the middle-of-the-road set.
DOOM: It tastes like burning!
The IMF is warning the US faces a “lost decade”, if current trends persist.
Change: America slips to 10th in the annual ranking of free economies. We’re behind Canada now. Oh, and the US has suffered one of the largest declines in economic freedom over the last 10 years. (See IMF warning above.)
Warren Buffett will headline at an Obama fundraiser in Chicago next month.
The Internet really is a series of tubes!
BigPeace’s Worldview, September 21: Suicide bombs threaten Afghan ‘peace process.’
In other news, the Guardian has resorted to squid porn to attract readership. I always knew there was something strange about the Brits when it came to sex.
