KENNEDY WAS SPARED FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE AS TOP AIDE IN CITY SCHOOLS…

“American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan.”

The president-elect says he wants to “create three million new jobs” — this is a change from a few weeks ago, when he said he wanted the plan to create OR SAVE two million jobs.

He says the “No. 1 goal of my plan … is to create three million new jobs, more than 80 percent of them in the private sector.”

If you do the math: 20 percent of three million means 600,000 new government employees.

This will leave a mark:

Mr. Gore has gone so far to discourage debate on climate as to refer to those who question his simplistic view of the atmosphere as “flat-Earthers.” This, too, is right on target, except for one tiny detail. It is exactly the opposite of the truth.

Where is Lincoln when you need him:

Pending final resolution, it’s possible Burris will get some office space, a limited staff and maybe even be put on some kind of payroll. Though the senators may allow him on the floor, to hang around in the back, Burris could not vote or sit behind one of the desks in the Senate chamber.

Media starting to lower expectations for Obama

May he rest in peace.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

To stimulate demand for the key commodity, a report said Friday.

Output of steel has plunged 50 percent since September after posting record profits as construction and auto production have fallen sharply amid a US recession and the global credit crunch, The New York Times reported.

Industry executives are pleading for a huge public infrastructure investment program — of up to one trillion dollars over two years — under president-elect Barack Obama’s proposed stimulus plan, the newspaper said.

“What we are asking,” said Daniel DiMicco, chairman and chief executive of the Nucor Corporation, a giant steel maker, “is that our government deal with the worst economic slowdown in our lifetime through a recovery program that has in every provision a buy America’ clause,” the newspaper quoted him as saying.

It must be true because GMA said so.   Well if that is the case, why the hell are we still talking about lifting embargos?  Are the Cubans in this country just a bunch of dumbassess that didn’t realize how good they had it?  Andy Garcia must really be an idiot for these statements, I mean hell, he lived it but GMA saw it on TV:

Most people I ask, ‘Do you know who you have on your T-Shirt?’ They will answer, ‘Yeah, it’s Che Guevara, he was a revolutionary guy.’ That’s as much as they know about him. When you confront them and say ‘Do you know he executed over 2,000 people in Cuba?’ They’d tell you they didn’t. This is historical fact, but people have limited knowledge about him. He talked about the necessity to execute, and about revolutionary justice being ultimate justice so you don’t need a trial to convict someone. This figure has been romanticized over the years and unfortunately people don’t take the time to read and learn about it.

Who didn’t see this coming:

Roland Burris - scandal-scarred Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s appointee to fill Barack Obama’s Senate seat - said yesterday Democrats will be accused of racism if they refuse to seat him.

“It is a fact, there are no African-Americans in the United States Senate,” Burris, a former Illinois attorney general, told NBC’s “Today.”

Obama, who had been the only black senator, resigned Nov. 16.

Burris said if Democrats reject his appointment, they’ll send the wrong signal on race relations.

“It could give the appearance . . . Is it racism that’s taking place? That’s a question someone may raise,” Burris said.

It was okay to force integration back in the 60’s and 70’s, so long as “they” stayed out of “the right” areas…So here you have people looking to escape the miserable conditions resulting from liberal social engineering and the first ones complaining are the liberals themselves.   You all remember that Barack Obama made his famous comments about bitter, clingy, racist rural Americans at a posh fund-raiser in the Bay Area — America’s role model of tolerance and understanding.  San Francisco proper has succeeded in driving out half its black population already, so that explains the influx to the suburbs. And yet those tolerant Bay Area liberals seem to have the “Keep moving” signs out.  For some less snarky background on what’s going on, see this article from The Atlantic .
