   Michelle,

   I like the coined phrase,”generational theft,” as well as any other that you so creatively come up with, but isn’t it about time to call this what it really is? This is the beginning of the theft of our nation….from the present generation.

   Does it strike anyone else as funny that the lefties in Taxachusetts are confused/unsure of numbers coming out of the lefties in Washington. I would assume the citizens of Massachusetts are already used to bending over (apearently most of them enjoy that position since re-elect the “usual suspects” over and over again!

   It is becoming a trend at the AP to suddenly pay attention it seems …

   I’m not sure that Better Late Than Never is an accurate appraisal … yet …

   Maybe if they are still questioning all this BO-BS this time next year ??? …

   We shall see …

   Where were these guys last fall, before the election? could have saved us a bit of trouble. Granted McCain wouldn’t have been much better, but better is better.

   This is another illustration why the new media is killing the old msm. The Associated with Terrorist Press is slow, clumsy and biased. They will fall off the vine sooner rather than later.

   And a word on that “Generational Theft” phrase. Isn’t Juan McCain (RINO-NV) trying to claim that phrase as his own? I recall Allah pointing out that that loser must be reading “the boss” when those words first rolled off McCain’s lips.

    This is like saying, “Our 5% tax increase will create 250,000 new jobs.”

    Really? Then why not raise taxes by 10% and create 500,000 jobs. Or by 20% and create a million jobs. Hey, wait! Why not raise taxes so high we wipe out unemployment altogether?!!

    Government. Idiots.

    “This pork-barrell spending is going to save 79,000 jobs.” How do you know? Every government spending program is rife with fraud. I’d be surprised if it saves 79 jobs.

    The politician in question knows this for a fact because it is precisely the number of jobs he’s given to family, friends and campaign donors.

    complained that issuing job estimates undercut the administration’s vow of transparency because it was unclear where the estimates came from.

    Let me explain this: The “vow of transparency” was a lie intended to fool gullible idiots. There was never any intent to actually be transparent.

    Make sense now?

    Gawd, I can’t tell you how much it sucks to live in Massachusetts.

    Our ruling kleptocrats are utterly shameless, engorging themselves with six-figure no-show jobs, and threatening huge increases in gas taxes and tolls.

    “Governor” DeVoid Patrick has become such a fracking joke that even the uber-liberal Boston Globe and lefty talkshow hosts are hypovehiculating him for his utter ineptitude.

    He is well and truly a frackwit.

    It’s always gratifying when someone sees the light, even if a bit late. My moonbat brother still thinks Obama walks on water. My brother is a lost cause. I can’t figure out what happened to him to make him that way! He is as far left as you can get! The rest of our family is pretty conservative. I have been hearing more and more lately about democrats who are questioning their messiah. Finally!!

    Massachusetts say they have no idea how the White House came up with one key pledge—the promise to save or create 79,000 jobs in the state.

    Do they remember the pledge to have Transparency in this administration, the pledge to post all legislation on the web five days before taking it up in the legislature, do they remember the pledge for the most ethical administration EVAAAAH? Remember the pledge to take public financing? Well just like the Messiah forgot those he will forget Massachusetts jobs. When, oh, When will the nation awaken?

    When unemployment hits 18% and rising faster than the sun everyday.

    When they go grocery shopping pushing a wheelbarrow full of brand new printed $’s.

    When interest rates are at 20% and moving upward on a daily basis.

    My question is, will it be too late when the nation does awake?

    But … but it’s all about the children The Kennedy Clan and Camelot.

    As for John McCain, not to pour salt in any wounds, but isn’t he pretty much standing in line WITH the One rather than going toe to toe with him?

    And this? Classic!

    Gonzalez told the AP. “They haven’t even decided yet how they are going to require that we measure new and retained jobs.”

    They? The government has not yet decided how they are going to cook the books but we are supposed to believe them?

    I too know some liberals who are still laboring in suffering from Obama Worship and have yet to see the light (much less to realize it is just another train coming to bowl them over) and have yet to figure out how to open their eyes. You cannot be logical or reasonable with someone who is not logical or reasonable. The fact that this questioning of BO is coming from the liberal bastion of the Kennedy’s does give me some hope.

    So they don’t want to mess with Joe!!

    Simple math add every member of the kennedy clan as 25% of the pork $ going to kennedy projects.

    Is the media being allowed into all these meetings at the Whitehouse group
    after group is being “summoned” to or are they in secret with photo ops after?
    After reading more and more stories it sounds as if these meetings are full of intimidation, rudeness, lies etc..
    They are all finding out with obambi it is deify me not thee…..

    That what I love abt you bear1909, you are always optimistic.

    Personally, I think we’ll find that 28% is really low-obamaing low-balling it…

    As far as wheelbarrors of bread for a loaf of bread, I think we’ll windup w/gov. issuied debit/ration cards. They’re moving up legislation to criminalize family farms, small farms, and even gardens — so growing your own food will be — verboten! (Heil! Der Pecks!)

    I think the US monetary system is going to collapse by/in Dec 2010, but then, I’m a nut who’s been putting 20% of my gross pay into precious-metals for the last decade. (not cert.s, but actual precious-metal coins, I also have a low trust-threshold ).

    We dipped into it to payoff Dad’s medical bills, and finalize purchases for retirement prior to out-processing. Nothing left but sign out of TLF on Tuesday, go turn-in my CAC card & our family’s IDs, then drive out to our next adventure!

    Aside:
    I do hope my coin-storage becomes an herloom, though I suspect it won’t.

    They say they’re not even sure how to measure saved jobs—and fear the jobs figure sets an unrealistic yardstick against which the success or failure of the program will be measured.

    Ahh Duh. That is how a stimulus package should be measured. Jobs
