his opening pitch at the Nationals game was not too hot, high and wide. Better than his pitch during the allstar game.

Sales of new homes dropped a record 32.7 percent in May to the lowest level in at least four decades as the boost from a popular tax credit faded, adding to worries of a slowing economic recovery.

The Commerce Department said on Wednesday single-family home sales tumbled to a 300,000 unit annual rate, the lowest level since the series started in 1963.

Well it appears the Community Organizer is just what conservatives predicted....

But two years into his first term, President Obama is proving we are not entirely without shame.

Thanks to a slew of gaffes, blunders, miscalculations and alarming personality revelations, Obama has become a surprising liability where our reputation abroad is concerned - surprising not only because he was elected, in part, to restore our supposedly damaged image overseas, but also because he was touted as a smooth and charming diplomat.

But whatever generosities we afforded the inexperienced junior senator from Illinois, smooth and charming he is not, it turns out. And these rookie mistakes are getting downright embarrassing.

The latest came last week, when the President sent the G-20 a pointed but pleading letter imploring Europe to quit it already with all the sensible spending cuts. He apparently believes that if we are going to spend our way into oblivion, then Europe should have the good manners to join us. Misery loves company, after all, and so does bankruptcy.

Combat brigades in Iraq under different name

As the final convoy of the Army’s 4th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, based at Fort Lewis, Wash., entered Kuwait early Thursday, a different Stryker brigade remained in Iraq.

Soldiers from the 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team of the 25th Infantry Division are deployed in Iraq as members of an Advise and Assist Brigade, the Army’s designation for brigades selected to conduct security force assistance.

So while the “last full U.S. combat brigade” have left Iraq, just under 50,000 soldiers from specially trained heavy, infantry and Stryker brigades will stay, as well as two combat aviation brigades.

From Boortz today

Home sales in the United States were down in July. This in spite of dirt-cheap mortgages and greatly reduced prices. The figures are the worse we've seen in this country in over a decade. The experts are telling us that we're in for another drop in home values. Welcome to Recovery Summer!

The Financial Times says that disappointing US economic figures are driving a surge in demand for low-yielding assets. I'm not sure what that means, but it doesn't sound good. Here's a quote: "Things appear to have come to a head...with markets braced at the edge of a precipice ahead of key US economic data likely to further unnerve investors already concerned by the extent of impending slowdown." Welcome to Recovery Summer!

This from The Wall Street Journal: Day after day, investors have been hit with more evidence that the economy is stalling. The Dow is down over 4% this month, after an ebullient July that was fueled by impressive earnings results from U.S. companies. The Dow posted another triple-digit loss today and at one point fell below the 10,000 level. Michael Casey has details about the factors driving today's market action. But earnings season is now over and investors are far more focused on potential troubles ahead. What's that Biden said? Oh yeah ... Welcome to Recovery Summer.

Economist David Rosenberg, apparently someone who has earned a certain degree of respect in economic circles, writes a daily brief for investors. Yesterday he said that the U.S. economy is heading into a 1930s-style depression. He reminded his clients that the Great Depression also had some high points such as positive stock market gains .. but then, as now, those signs of recovery were unsustainable and only provided a false sense of stability.

Charles Nenner, founder and president of Charles Nenner research says that the Dow is on its way down to 5000 in the next 30 months. He's saying that things "really look bad for the next 10 years."

While millions of Americans are looking for jobs so that they can start taking care of their families again, Our Hero is looking for over 5% in new income tax that our own government says will affect 50% of the small business income that we need to put to work to grow new jobs. Smart, isn't it?

You saw the jobless claims that came out last week. Try 500,000 new jobless claims. Welcome to Recovery Summer.

The number of subscribers to cable and satellite television fell for the first time in history during the second quarter of this year. People just aren't going to pay the price any more .. not in this economy they're not.

The Obama Administration is no longer using the "jobs created or saved" nonsense to tout the effectiveness of the stimulus plan. There's a new phrase now .... "lives touched."

The Obama Administration has now as much as admitted that ObamaCare will increase the cost of medical care in this country and, at the same time, add to our deficit. Exactly the opposite of what was promised when they were trying to get the bill passed earlier this year.

except for one major difference

When the Republicans were in charge, the Democrats were calling out the(ir) ANTICIPATED failing of America. Now that the Democrats are in charge, the Republicans are calling out the ACTUAL failing of America.

In other words, if you recall - the Democrats were asking for us to fail in Iraq (pull out very early and let the Taliban take over) ... so the Republicans were saying "bad news for America = good news for the Democrats".

Today, on the other hand, the Republicans are pointing to the ACTUAL failing of America by pointing to actual current data, not ANTICIPATED

The hope and final failure of McCain's comprehensive immigration reform is what chopped the legs out from under the RE market and took down the whole Voodoo Economy with it.


The two parties aren't in control of chit, they're just reactive to the needs of Biz and the huge money laundering industry that dances around the tax code and silly laws that subsidize the rich to make them richer.

Republicans lead Democrats 47% to 39% on the economy, which remains the most important issue to voters. Those numbers are nearly identical to those found in June. Republicans have held the advantage on the economy since May of last year.

But for the first time in months, Republicans now hold a slight edge on the issues of government ethics and corruption, 40% to 38%. Voters have been mostly undecided for the past several months on which party to trust more on this issue, but Democrats have held small leads since February. Still, more than one-in-five voters (22%) are still not sure which party to trust more on ethics issues.

Government ethics and corruption have been second only to the economy in terms of importance to voters over the past year.

I was blaming in future terms the switch back over to Licans that always brings more new people with new committees and new agencies and new law-suits against the old and new money backers to pay off and an increase in lobbyist and generally more money which is more just more corruption and on and on. They'll never slow spending and never do anything about government being controlled by corporate fat cats that have no fear of government, because they own the government we have and will have. That's what (R)&(D) is. the ThEocrAcy PARTY is a sheeps disguise of the same old corporate (R).

Back to the Theocrat Party, I really can't define things in a different way when they have no specific platform, pick boneheads who are perfect for the lobbyist and I've never heard one fear about the control that biz has over gov from any of them, that sure sounds like a biz lead party picking on the easily persuaded religious women who will pass through all that Big biz needs to finish the takeover of the once framers dreams of freedom from the wrong church and an oppressive fascist gov.

Within six months of taking office he ended the deepest recession the US has been in since the Great Depression .

Not bad, not bad.

Thanks President Obama!



WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The U.S. recession that started in December 2007 ended in June 2009, making it the longest slump since World War Two, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research.

The NBER, a nonprofit group that determines when recessions begin and end, said the economy bottomed out in June 2009, followed by a slow expansion. The group said the 18-month recession was the longest since a pair of 16-month slumps in 1973-75 and 1981-82.
