The Clinton/Obama Feud continues

Read all about it here.

One of Obama’s Staffers has resigned for calling her "A Monster".  That’s all? I mean, I’ve called her worse! Hee hee

However, it’s perfectly fine for one of Hillary’s surrogates to call Obama a "Magic Negro"? I dont knowThinking

I just wonder, what has Hillary’s camp called Obama? It is to wonder.

Employment Situation

This is a interesting report.

Nonfarm payroll employment edged down in February (-63,000), and the
unemployment rate was essentially unchanged at 4.8 percent, the Bureau of
Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today.  Employment
fell in manufacturing, construction, and retail trade.  Job growth continued
in health care and in food services.  Average hourly earnings rose by 5 cents,
or 0.3 percent, over the month.

Unemployment (Household Survey Data)

   The number of unemployed persons (7.4 million) and the unemployment rate
(4.8 percent) were essentially unchanged in February.  Over the month, the
unemployment rates for adult men (4.3 percent), adult women (4.2 percent),
teenagers (16.6 percent), whites (4.3 percent), and Hispanics (6.2 percent)
showed little or no change.  The jobless rate for blacks fell to 8.3 percent,
in line with the average rate for 2007.  The unemployment rate for Asians was
3.0 percent, not seasonally adjusted.  (See tables A-1, A-2, and A-3.)

Total Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)

   Both the civilian labor force, at 153.4 million, and the labor force par-
ticipation rate, at 65.9 percent, declined in February.  Total employment 
(146.0 million) and the employment-population ratio (62.7 percent) were little
changed over the month.

Of course, the conservatives are saying that the AP misreported the story. I will admit, the wording did leave a bit to be desired. But I will say this, I am in Michigan, and we’re in a one State recession. 

This does mean, that I am unemployed. The good thing is, I don’t have any serious debt, as I did file for bankruptcy in 2004. Before they changed the laws. However, it does kind of stink, I enjoy writing, I would like to get a job doing this professionally. But that would require college degrees and such, none of which I have, of course. So, I’m stuck to blogging. I just wish I could get this blog, some serious traffic. 

I don’t pity myself, at all. I made my mistakes when I was younger, I was born with a learning disability, that I inherited from my Father. I don’t want people to pity me, I’ve been blessed beyond measure, I’ve had a good life, It could be better, but everyone could say that. There are many people out there that have it much worse than I.

The World's Ugliest Woman, Stumps for Billary.

 and…. Insults John McCain in the process…. (Not that he’s any better, but!)

The Story: Stumping for Clinton, Steinem Says McCain’s P.O.W. Cred Is Overrated (Via The New York Observer)

Feminist icon Gloria Steinem took to the stump on Hillary Clinton’s behalf here last night and quickly proved that she has lost none of her taste for provocation.

From the stage, the 73-year-old seemed to denigrate the importance of John McCain’s time as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. In an interview with the Observer afterward, she suggested that Barack Obama benefits—and Clinton suffers—because Americans view racism more seriously than sexism.

Steinem also told the crowd that one reason to back Clinton was because “she actually enjoys conflict.”

My gawd, this woman was uglier than crap back in the day and she’s STILL uglier than sin. Sick

I’m not much one in to wishing death on people, but when this feckless broad goes tits up, I won’t shed a damn tear, at all.

And, how exactly has this broad really served her country? Besides by promoting Lesbianism and all other sort of Liberal ire?

Editorial: Is there a subtle message in the new Obama Video?

Before I go any further, let me just say that I have absolutely no problem with an African-American being President. I think that it is wonderful, that we finally can, bury the "Jim Crow" racism that his scarred our much troubled past. I would much rather see someone who will not raise our taxes and promote the homosexual lifestyle and further the cause of the abortionists, but at this point, anything is better than the idiot we have in the White House now.

The fervor of Barack Obama is unbelievable, there is a new video out, that was made by one of his supporters and it is titled "We are the ones." It was made by an artist who goes by the professional name of "Will.I.Am." Previously, this same person made a video titled "Yes we can." I must confess, I enjoyed that video highly, it spoke of hope, and my friends in these hard times, especially here in Michigan, hope is all we got.

However, I am much highly concerned about the subtle message within this new video. I watched the video, I found out about from the guys over at HotAir.com. Granted, I do not always agree with what is written over there. However, there are times when I do. Anyhow, I watched this video, and the feeling I took away from this video was that minorities in this country feel that we white people in this country owe them something.

Now folks, I hate to sound like an old curmudgeon, but I personally do not feel that I owe any minorities anything at all. I am sorry, but I was not involved in any of the lynching that took place in the south, neither was any of my family members, that I know of.

The thing most offended me the most about this video is that about half of the people in the video were speaking in Spanish. Now the way I feel about it, if you are going to produce a video, that is singing the praises of an American politician, the very least that you can do, is have the people in the video speak in English!

The biggest message that I took away from this video was, "We’re Minorities, You Owe us!" That mentality my friend is a dangerous mentality. Of course, this is, pretty much, the mentality of the Liberals, the mentality of entitlement. You owe me.

I just wonder how long it will be, before the Liberals will enforce a "Jim Crow" tax to put on white people to give to the blacks for the sins of their forefathers. If you think it will not happen, think again, Liberals know no bounds, if you give them an inch, they will take a mile.

If Mr. "Will.I.Am" wants to make a pro-America video, make it with English speaking people, and lay off the "you owe me" overtones. But then again, we are dealing with Liberals here.

RE: Obama Must-Wins

The media has anointed Barack Obama the presumptive nominee and he’s playing the part.

With an eleven state winning streak coming out of February, Senator Obama is riding a surge of momentum that has enabled him to pour unprecedented resources into Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont.

The Obama campaign and its allies are outspending us two to one in paid media and have sent more staff into the March 4 states. In fact, when all is totaled, Senator Obama and his allies have outspent Senator Clinton by a margin of $18.4 million to $9.2 million on advertising in the four states that are voting next Tuesday.

Senator Obama has campaigned hard in these states. He has spent time meeting editorial boards, courting endorsers, holding rallies, and – of course – making speeches.

If he cannot win all of these states with all this effort, there’s a problem.

Should Senator Obama fail to score decisive victories with all of the resources and effort he is bringing to bear, the message will be clear:

Democrats, the majority of whom have favored Hillary in the primary contests held to date, have their doubts about Senator Obama and are having second thoughts about him as a prospective standard-bearer.

Scratch that title, in this case, She’s moving the whole damn BALL FIELD! Spin? More like a tornado.

She’s in free fall, someone get a better get her a parachute!
