“The Chair of President Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers, Dr. Christina Romer, on Sunday said that the fundamentals of the economy are “sound,” a comment similar to one that her boss as a candidate repeatedly attacked Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., for making during the heat of last year’s presidential campaign. “”Of course, the fundamentals are sound,” Romer said on Meet the Press, “in the sense that the American workers are sound. We have a good capital stock, we have good technology. We know that, temporarily, we’re in a mess, right? We have seen huge job loss, we’ve seen very large falls in GDP. Certainly in the short run, we’re in a bad situation.”

On September 15, McCain said, “As you know, there’s been tremendous turmoil in our financial markets and Wall Street, and it is — it’s –people are frightened by these events. Our economy, I think, still the fundamentals of our economy are strong. But these are very, very difficult times. And I promise you, we will never put America in this position again. We will clean up Wall Street. We will reform government.”

Last month economy was heading toward “catastrophe”, 2 weeks ago it was “It will get worse before it gets better, and today it’s “sound and nothing to worry”. Shameless! Do they really think we are that stupid?

“Obama decries earmarks, signs law with 9,000 of them.”

• Obama White House Discloses Two More Lobbyist Waivers Granted

• Obamas administration killed of the experimental school choice program that was giving 1,700 Washington D.C. children a chance to get out of their failed public school system and attend a quality private school. A measure that he supported during campaign.

• Where does the buck stops in Obama’s administration? The staff? Well Camille Paglia thinks so.

• Do you ever wonder why do there seem to be so many withdrawn Obama Nominees? You can read it here.

“And I believe the nation that invented the automobile cannot walk away from it.”~ President Obama during his first Sate Of The Union address.

How embarrassing! Our president does not know that we did not invent automobile and now Germans are probably  laughing at us!

More “hope & change” stuff from Obama’s administration.  Do they know that their mantra of “change & hope” is becoming  ridicules? Here is the headline:

Will Obama stop campaigning and start governing? Can he do that? Well even NYTimes most Liberal commentator has her doubts. Maureen Dowd had this to say:

“Though he demonstrated in the campaign that he has a rare gift for inspiring the country with new belief in itself, Mr. Obama has not yet captured either the grit the moment requires or the fury it provokes. He has not explained in a compelling way why Americans who followed the rules need to sacrifice more to help those who flouted the rules.”

and this from Jennifer Rubin:

“Much as it may pain the former community organizer, Obama’s job is not now to criticize, demean, rile and anger the public. We thought he, better than most politicians in recent memory, understood the power of rhetoric to lift and inspire, but maybe that only worked as a campaign tactic. Now there is no George Bush to kick around. And the result seems to be a surly and depressive presidency. Perhaps we were not the change we were waiting for after all“.

Thank God for youtube! Here Obama promises that the public will have 5 DAYS to look online and find out what’s in his proposed bills before he signs it. Well, another promise broken. Barack Obama is going to sign the largest spending bill in US history on Monday, It had only been posted online for 12 hours before it was voted on in the US House and Senate.

The American Small Business League is also finding out that Obama is breaking with his campaign rhetoric. Here is what they had to say:

President Obama seemed to agree it was time to stop the fraud and abuse in federal small business contracting programs when, in February of 2008, he released the statement, “Small businesses are the backbone of our nation’s economy and we must protect this great resource. It is time to end the diversion of federal small business contracts to corporate giants.”

Since making that statement almost a year ago, President Obama has consistently refused to make good on his campaign promise, and support legislation to stop Fortune 500 firms from hijacking federal contracts designated for America’s nearly 27 million small businesses.

Not only has President Obama refused to propose even a single policy to address the problem, but he actually changed his Web site to remove the appearance that he had ever made the statement, “It is time to end the diversion of federal small business contracts to corporate giants.”

Is someone counting the broken promises? It’s interesting to see how many it will add up until his re-election?

Remember this promise from Obama during campaing, well it’s gone now. Another promise broken!

“For officials who came into office promising to operate the most honest and transparent White House and Congress ever, President Barack Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid seem determined to achieve exactly the opposite result. . . . Less than 48 hours elapsed between the time the text of the compromise became available for public examination late Saturday evening and yesterday’s 61-37 vote for passage. At that rate, the Senate effectively was spending about $300 million every minute while considering the compromise, and allowing taxpayers a scandalously brief opportunity to discover how the senators were doing it. ….” Continue to read here.

Wow! another tax cheater in the Obama’s administarion:

A Senate committee today abruptly canceled a session to consider President Obama’s nomination of Rep. Hilda Solis to be labor secretary in the wake of a report saying that her husband yesterday paid about $6,400 to settle tax liens against his business — including liens that had been outstanding for as long as 16 years.
