Obama Takes Aim At Your 401(k)
by Maynard on April 12, 2013**A Post By Maynard** This is a preliminary move, and a harbinger of a lot more to come. With spending out of control and the political impossibility of bringing it under control, the seizure of vulnerable pockets of wealth is inevitable. Private retirement accounts are the obvious low-hanging fruit, and the political rationale is also likewise obvious enough: With Social Security and other public pensions going broke, it’s only fair that the private retirement assets become a community resource. Never mind how we got here or who caused the problem or how to solve it; we’ve got an emergency! People are starving, and we need cash now! Read this WSJ editorial, keeping in mind that this is only the beginning....

The Height Of Craven Narcissism ==> Michelle Obama: “Hadiya Pendleton Was Me”
by Tammy on April 10, 2013No Actually, Michelle, Hidiya wasn’t you. She’s now a dead teenager because of the pit that liberal policies made her town. Gang violence, poverty, no jobs, no hope, no real police protection. Neighborhoods that have been abandoned because there’s no money because no one is working because liberal politicians seem more and...

Obama–Who Pays Men 13% More Than Women–Proclaims ‘Equal Pay Day’
by Tammy on April 9, 2013Hypocritical jerk. Via CNS News. President Barack Obama designated April 9 as National Equal Pay Day, even though 70 percent of White House staffers in the top-salary bracket were men, and male White House staffers earn on average 13 percent more than female staffers. “To grow our middle class and spur progress in the years ahead, we need to address longstanding inequity that keeps women from earning a living equal to their efforts,” Obama said in the proclamation released Monday evening. “That is why I have made pay equity a top priority — from signing the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act days after I took office to cracking down on equal pay law violations wherever they occur. And to back...

Fed Preserves US-Mexico Food Stamp ‘Partnership,’ While USDA Prepares for Meat Inspector Furloughs
by Tammy on March 18, 2013I think this tells you everything you need to know about the intentions of Obama and the political class as a whole. But keep in mind, this food stamp ‘partnership’ with Mexico was started by George W. Bush, making it clear politicians on both sides of the aisle have been the problem, and still are. Via Fox News. Salmonella outbreaks. E. coli outbreaks. Millions of dollars in economic losses. These are among the scenarios the Obama administration warned about last month as it claimed the sequester would force the U.S. Department of Agriculture to furlough meat inspectors. But while the administration prepares to take that step, it continues to pursue a “partnership” with the Mexican government to “raise awareness” about...

Cyprus Taxes Bank Accounts, Closes Banks Until Thursday
by Tammy on March 18, 2013Geniuses each and every one. I know Cyprus is small, but this matters. They announces this special “levy” of 6-10% (tax) on Friday after the banks closed, which as you might imagine, causes a run on ATMs over the weekend. The ATMs, weirdly, were also “not working.” Today is a Cyprian holiday, and now they’ve announced the banks will stay closed until Thursday. There are many problems with this, not the least of which is the message it sends to every individual who holds a bank account in the EU. You have to consider, if the EU is willing to do this in Cyprus it’s only a matter of time it will happen in [insert any EU county or the...

Sequester This: Obama Tries to Punish His Enemies
by Shifra on March 13, 2013**A Post By Shifra** Two years ago, when hearing a clip of Obama urging Latinos to “punish the enemy,” I violated one of my “rules,” namely, that “words have meaning.” “Nah,” I thought at the time, “Obama sure gets carried away with himself sometimes. Nothing much to see here.” Sadly, I was wrong. Via WSJ: In its bid to make the sequester as painful as possible, the White House announced Tuesday that it is canceling all visitor tours of the White House “during the popular Spring touring season.” This fits President Obama’s political strategy to punish the eighth graders visiting from Illinois instead of, say, the employees of the Agriculture Department who will attend a California conference sipping “exceptional local...

After Passing CR That Funds Obamacare, GOP Presents Budget Symbolically Repealing It
by Tammy on March 12, 2013A very concise headline from CNS describing the absurdity of what the GOP is doing, all gestures while doing the opposite when it comes to actual action. And we wonder why we’re in such trouble. Via CNS News. One week after voting to give the Obama administration full funding for the implementation of Obamacare in the must-pass continuing resolution that will fund the federal government for the rest of fiscal 2013, the House Republicans are once again vowing to symbolically repeal Obamacare in legislation that is not must-pass. “We don’t like this law,” House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said of Obamacare as he unveiled his budget for fiscal year 2014 at the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday. “This is why...

Whew! White House Calligraphers Escape Ermagherd Sequester!
by Tammy on March 6, 2013Due to the Ergagherd Sequester!, tours in the White House have been stopped and it looks like we’re closing 173 air traffic control towers as well. But don’t worry, the three calligraphers in the White House we’re paying $277,050 have escaped unscathed. Go figure. Chief White House Calligrapher Gets Paid $96,725 Per Year

Sen. Sessions: Auditor Reveals Obamacare Will Add $6.2 Trillion To Long-Term Debt
by Tammy on February 26, 2013Senator Sessions is one of our heroes. Here is again doing something no other senator does: speak honestly to us about our situation and the issues. This time it’s about ObamaCare and it’s obscene cost–$6.2 trillion in unfunded spending, much more than any new taxes can provide. In other words, it’s another national economic disaster. Via RCP. At a Budget Committee hearing today, Ranking Member Sessions announced the results of a new Government Accountability Office report on the long-term deficit impact of the President’s health law. The results are shocking: over the next 75 years, the law will add $6.2 trillion to the deficit in present value terms—not including the interest costs associated with the additional borrowing. This proves that...

Krauthammer: Sequester “Most Ridiculously Hyped Armageddon Since The Mayan Calendar”
by Tammy on February 20, 2013A very good conversation on Special Report today looking at the sequester. This is the segment I discuss on The Daily TAM Briefing today, and includes AB Stoddard’s lament that it would cause federal workers to possibly miss their summer vacation (welcome the everyone else’s world) and Krauthammer’s comment that this is the “Most ridiculously hyped Armageddon since the Mayan calendar.” Indeed. It’s about 8 minutes and worth watching in it’s entirety. Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com To help Obama along, here’s what he’d like us to think about when it comes to cutting the budget:

On “Jobs” … That “Three-Letter Word”

Gas Prices Rise 32 Days Straight
by Tammy on February 18, 2013What it cost for me to fill up my little sedan last week. Reaction by liberals? . This, of course, is in large part the Dumb Bastard making sure that the cost of gasoline gets as high (artificially) as “green” fuels. This man and his delusions can be stopped if we get a Congress that is willing to confront him. I can’t even begin to tell you how important 2014 is. This story by CNN doesn’t attribute any of the responsibility to the DB, none at all. It’s about China, and presumed increased demand, etc, etc. “Increased oil production” in the US is mentioned, apparently compelling the Middle East to cut production (you’ve gotta keep those prices high!). Of course,...

Obama Commits Assault With Battery
by Maynard on February 14, 2013Workers at this Michigan battery plant built with a $150 million federal stimulus grant but never opened played games and watched movies while their wages were paid for by U.S. taxpayers, according to a government report. This is the same factory site where, less than 3 years ago, Obama loudly proclaimed himself the savior of American industry. What happened?
