CBS Says White House Is Fudging Stimulus Jobs Numbers | NewsBusters.org:

When Katie Couric and the folks at CBS start doubting what the Administration says about how effective February's economic stimulus package was, you know President Obama is in trouble.

Consider that on Thursday's CBS 'Evening News,' Chip Reid began a segment with the following startling statement about a jobs report card to be released by the White House Friday:"

‘Jobs Created or Saved’ Is White House Fantasy: Caroline Baum - Bloomberg.com:

Oct. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Heresy, thy name is Christina Romer.

Last week, the chairman of President Barack Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers -- a position that carried the title “chief economist” until Larry Summers took up residence in the White House -- testified to the Joint Economic Committee on the economic crisis and the efficacy of the policy response.

Here’s the executive summary in case you missed it:

The crisis: “Inherited.”

The economy: “In terrible shape” (the inherited one).

The shocks to the system: “Larger than those that precipitated the Great Depression.”

The policy response: “Strong and timely.”"

Constitutionality of health overhaul questioned - Washington Times: "On top of all the other obstacles facing President Obama in his quest to pass health reform is this one: Does the U.S. Constitution allow the government to require uninsured Americans to buy medical insurance or impose a tax penalty if they refuse?"

American Thinker Blog: Mitt Romney Votes Present

I'm from Massachusetts - and I can tell you right out - that is all Mitt will ever do. He seems a "nice" man.....I want a LEADER. He's also the one who saddled us in Massachusetts with AWFUL Universal Health Care.......

American Thinker Blog: Mitt Romney Votes Present:


As reported here by ABC News (online), Mitt Romney '...doesn't plan to make any endorsement at all' regarding the contentious NY23 Congressional race.

What does this say about Mitt? When balanced against Sarah Palin's political courage, it seems telling. Sarah is a political alpha, a leader for the future. Mitt, in spite of his genuine conservatism and mastery of issues, is almost certainly not."

If there was a degree of dejavu for fans of Barack Obama crammed inside a university athletic arena in Hackensack, New Jersey, the other evening, it was entirely deliberate. They only had to close their eyes and listen to the deafening chants of 'Yes We Can' to imagine they had been transported back to the heady days of a year ago when their candidate was on the verge of seizing the White House and making history."

Just one year ago, would you have believed that an unelected government official, not even a Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate but simply one of the many 'czars' appointed by the President, could arbitrarily cut the pay of executives in private businesses by 50 percent or 90 percent?

Did you think that another 'czar' would be talking about restricting talk radio? That there would be plans afloat to subsidize newspapers-- that is, to create a situation where some newspapers' survival would depend on the government liking what they publish?"

Ending "Too Big To Fail"? - The Market Ticker

Ending "Too Big To Fail"? - The Market Ticker:

WASHINGTON -- A deal between the Treasury Department and a key House Democrat would give the government sweeping new powers to police the country's largest financial companies, including the ability to seize and break up failing companies and order large firms to shrink.

Uh huh.

The proposal would require financial firms with more than $10 billion of assets to pay for the unwinding of a collapsed competitor. The measure would also give the Federal Reserve the power to direct any large financial holding company to sell or transfer assets or stop certain activities if the central bank determined there could be a 'threat to the safety and soundness of such company or to the financial stability of the United States.' This suggests the Fed would win new authority to order companies to shrink."

Baucus: A 'massive, massive' bill - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room:

Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) wants you to know just how huge the healthcare reform bill is.

'This is so massive,' Baucus told reporters today. 'It is so complicated.'

Baucus was trying to emphasize that the public option is just one part of an overwhelmingly large bill, but his comments echo GOP concerns about the scope of healthcare reform.

Baucus emphasized his point a number of times.

'This is a massive, massive bill...So I just caution all of us to remember just how big this bill is,' he said."

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Senate committee on Tuesday launched three days of hearings on a Democratic climate bill aimed at reducing carbon pollution while making the United States a world leader in cleaner energy.

In an uphill battle to pass legislation, especially before an international summit convenes in Copenhagen in December, Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairman Barbara Boxer said the bill would only cost consumers about 30 cents a day and make the United States the 'world's leader in clean energy technology.'"

Obama Taking Us On Path To Fascism - The Philadelphia Bulletin

Obama Taking Us On Path To Fascism - The Philadelphia Bulletin:

During the last presidential campaign, I said there was a light whiff of fascism coming from the Obama campaign. That was based on its habit of improperly trying to repress criticism of every kind. Example: A Chicago radio station was planning on airing a critic of President Obama, who was publicizing the candidate’s close association with terrorist Bill Ayres. The Obama campaign organized a call-in campaign to flood the station with calls and prevent the critic from being heard. Anther example: The Obama campaign warned that any critics in Missouri would be subjected to prosecution there if they voiced criticism that was not true. There was a 'Barack Obama Truth Squad” made up of prosecutors and sheriffs to keep critics in line,"...

American Thinker Blog: Senate Plan Would Explode Number of Uninsured Americans

American Thinker Blog: Senate Plan Would Explode Number of Uninsured Americans:

If recent reports are accurate, legislation being prepared in the U.S. Senate would cause nearly every healthy American under the age of 65 to become uninsured.

Under current proposals, large employers would face a fine of up to $750 per employee if they didn’t offer health insurance. Since that is much less than employers currently spend on employee health insurance premiums, most businesses would choose to pay the fine and drop their group health insurance.

Individuals who did not buy health insurance would face an initial fine of between $0 and $100. Since the biggest fine is much lower than the cost of health insurance, the bill would create an incentive for individuals to drop their health insurance and pay the relatively small fine."

VOLCANOES PLAYED PIVOTAL ROLE IN ANCIENT ICE AGE, MASS EXTINCTION

VOLCANOES PLAYED PIVOTAL ROLE IN ANCIENT ICE AGE, MASS EXTINCTION:

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Researchers here have discovered the pivotal role that volcanoes played in a deadly ice age 450 million years ago.

Perhaps ironically, these volcanoes first caused global warming -- by releasing massive amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

When they stopped erupting, Earth’s climate was thrown off balance, and the ice age began.

The discovery underscores the importance of carbon in Earth’s climate today, said Matthew Saltzman, associate professor of earth sciences at Ohio State University.

The results will appear in the journal Geology, in a paper now available online."

Who OWNS Foreclosed U.S. Properties?, Part II: the role of MERS

Who OWNS Foreclosed U.S. Properties?, Part II: the role of MERS:

In Part I, “Scam in the making”, I explained how Wall Street created the U.S. housing-bubble and its concurrent Ponzi-scheme – with the full assistance of its accomplices: U.S. rating agencies and U.S. regulators. I also explained why it had to be obvious before they started creating this bubble that it would end with an unprecedented wave of foreclosures.

Because a big part of the bubble/Ponzi-scheme was “mortgage securitization” (which meant the bank originating the mortgage no longer held title to the mortgage), and because the U.S. financial crime syndicate knew there would be a huge wave of foreclosures, it had to invent an entity which could serve as a proxy in foreclosure proceedings – representing all of the players in these debt “daisy-chains”.

This was why MERS was created in 1995. As I wrote in Part I, MERS is nothing more than a confidential electronic registry which exists only to “track mortgages and the changes of servicing rights and mortgage ownership”. In other words, it has no proprietary interest in these mortgages."

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee's new chairman is John Kerry. He replaced Joe Biden when the latter was installed as Vice President. Kerry was in Afghanistan when the administration impressed him into service to read the riot act to that country's embattled President, Hamid Karzai. It seems that Karzai was not too keen on submitting to a runoff election, even when it appeared that a huge percentage of his votes in the recent contest were fraudulently cast."

My Way News - FACT CHECK: Health insurer profits not so fat:

WASHINGTON (AP) - Quick quiz: What do these enterprises have in common? Farm and construction machinery, Tupperware, the railroads, Hershey sweets, Yum food brands and Yahoo? Answer: They're all more profitable than the health insurance industry. In the health care debate, Democrats and their allies have gone after insurance companies as rapacious profiteers making 'immoral' and 'obscene' returns while 'the bodies pile up.'

Ledgers tell a different reality. Health insurance profit margins typically run about 6 percent, give or take a point or two. That's anemic compared with other forms of insurance and a broad array of industries, even some beleaguered ones."
