Throughout the debt ceiling debate (and prior thereto) you and members of your administration have repeatedly referred to the “mess [you] inherited” and the “economic headwinds” you faced upon taking office. You’ve also made frequent comparisons to Ronald Reagan.
Speaking of economic headwinds, Reagan “inherited” a GDP rate of -3.2 percent. You inherited a GDP rate of -4.9 percent. Two and a half years after Reagan took office, however, GDP was at 5.1 percent (and exploded to 9.3 percent the next quarter). Two and a half years after you took office GDP growth is at 1.3 percent (and as likely to implode as explode next quarter).
Reagan inherited an inflation rate of 11.8 percent. You inherited an inflation rate of 0.3 percent. Two and a half years after Reagan took office inflation shrank to 2.46 percent. Two and a half years after you took office inflation has risen to 3.56 percent.
Reagan inherited interest rates of 20.5 percent. You inherited interest rates of 3.25 percent. Two and a half years after Reagan took office interest rates dropped to 11 percent. Two and a half years after you took office interest rates remain unchanged.
Reagan inherited a national debt (adjusted for inflation) of $908 billion. You inherited a national debt of $10.1 trillion. Two and a half years after Reagan took office, $390 billion more had been added to the national debt. Two and a half years after you took office $4.4 trillion more has been added to the national debt.
Reagan inherited an unemployment rate of 7.5 percent. You inherited an unemployment rate of 7.3 percent. Two and a half years after Reagan took office the unemployment rate was 9.4 percent, but fell to 7.6 percent within a few months and declined steadily thereafter to 5.3 percent. Two and a half years after you took office the unemployment rate is 9.2 percent. To fall to 7.6 percent by the end of this year, however, more than 1,000,000 jobs per month would need to be created. Only 18,000 were created in June; 25,000 in May.
Reagan slashed tax rates, encouraged American entrepreneurship, and didn’t complain incessantly about the mess he inherited. Will you ever do the same?
Reagan beat Carter in 1980 by a 9.74 percent margin. You beat McCain in 2008 by a 7.27 percent margin. Reagan beat Mondale in 1984 by a 18.21 percent margin and the second largest popular vote differential in history. Do you think the margin will be similar in 2012? If so, in which direction?

Obama says he cannot guarantee Social Security checks will go out on August 3
How pathetic can you get? Hard to believe this guy is “running” the country. Who cares about all our elderly across the nation that rely on their social security to survive? If Obama has a chance to use them as a tool to demonize the Republicans he will. There is no limit to the depths this pathetic creature will go.
“I cannot guarantee that those checks go out on August 3rd if we haven’t resolved this issue. Because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it,”

Obama just kinda makes shit up about US oil Supplies
Today Obamasiah took a time out from important vacations and important federal campaigns like his anti-bullying campaign he spent yesterday working on, in order to address the petty day to day bullshit like oil supplies. Glad to hear he’s actually bringing up gas and oil these days cause “at the pump” prices are up 67% since he took office.
Some fact check’n available here

Did You Know?
That the words race car spelled backward still spells race car.
That eat is the only word that if you take the 1st letter and move it to the last, it spells its past tense, ate.
And have you noticed that if you rearrange the letters in “illegal immigrants”, and add just a few more letters, it spells out: “Go home you free-loading, benefit grabbing, kid-producing, violent, non-English speaking ass holes and take those other hairy-faced, towel-wearing, bomb making, goat fucking, raggedy ass bastards with you.”
How weird is that?

Michelle Obama Image on Google (click to enlarge)
Google apologizes for Michelle Obama image
Google Inc. is apologizing for a racially offensive image of the first lady that appears at the top of the list when users search for pictures of Michelle Obama on its site.
Google placed a text ad above the image titled “Offensive Search Results” that states “Sometimes our search results can be offensive. We agree.”
Users who then click on the ad are directed to a letter from Google that explains its results “can include disturbing content, even from innocuous queries” but notes that Google doesn’t endorse content on these Web sites.
Oh yeah whatevah, guess all those chimp pictures of G.W. that have been floating around for almost a decade now were racially motivated also. Haven’t seen any apologies to G.W. from google. Go figure. Bunch of fucking Race Baiters. I’m sure we’ll be seeing Jesse and Al soon.

Hackers steal electronic data from top climate research center
Hackers broke into the electronic files of one of the world’s foremost climate research centers this week and posted an array of e-mails in which prominent scientists engaged in a blunt discussion of global warming research and disparaged climate-change skeptics.
The skeptics have seized upon e-mails stolen from the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia in Britain as evidence that scientific data have been rigged to make it appear as if humans are causing global warming. The researchers, however, say the e-mails have been taken out of context and merely reflect an honest exchange of ideas.
University officials confirmed the data breach, which involves more than 1,000 e-mails and 3,000 documents, but said they could not say how many of the stolen items were authentic.
“We are aware that information from a server in one area of the university has been made available on public websites,” the statement says. “We are extremely concerned that personal information about individuals may have been compromised. Because of the volume of this information we cannot currently confirm what proportion of this material is genuine.”
Michael E. Mann, who directs the Earth System Science Center at Pennsylvania State University, said in a telephone interview from Paris that skeptics are “taking these words totally out of context to make something trivial appear nefarious.”
In one e-mail from 1999, the center’s director, Phil Jones, alludes to one of Mann’s articles in the journal Nature and writes, “I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (i.e., from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.”
