Poverty Rises Under Obama and Other Random Thoughts

New government figures came out recently showing that the poverty rate has risen from 13% to 15% under Obama.

It's unfortunate timing for Obama and his party just seven weeks before important elections when control of Congress is at stake. The anticipated poverty rate increase — from 13.2 percent to about 15 percent — would be another blow to Democrats struggling to persuade voters to keep them in power.

So what does the Annointed One have to say about this?

"The most important anti-poverty effort is growing the economy and making sure there are enough jobs out there," Obama said Friday at a White House news conference. He stressed his commitment to helping the poor achieve middle-class status and said, "If we can grow the economy faster and create more jobs, then everybody is swept up into that virtuous cycle."

Somebody should tell this huckster that you don't create jobs by bailing out companies and causing the government to own them such as the Automobile Industry, the banking industry and the Insurance companies. You also don't create jobs by raising taxes everywhere you go. Especially on "the rich" as he likes to say. The rich are the ones who hire people. They are the ones who own companies. When you raise taxes on them, they lay people off or don't hire. Obama say s he's only raising taxes on those that make $250,000 or more. Well somebody tell him that those people are upper middle classs and small business owners.You'll eventually put them out of business if you keep raising taxes on them. The guy truly doesn't have a clue. As I said in my previous blog, "Hey all you libs, how's all that hope and change working out for you?".................I see pastor Terry Jones is changing his tune and now saying he would never burn a Koran. Jones said the publicity he received bolstered his "mission" to bring attention to Islam's "radical" elements.
"We feel we have accomplished our goal," Jones said. "We feel that God has told us to stop."What a cop out!!!!Meanwhile plenty of other people are. A man was arrested at Ground Zero for tearing up pages from a Koran and lighting them. Another man was trying to light one there too, but police got to him before he could. Two pastors in Tennesee lit Korans and a protestor outside the Whitehouse lit a Koran.

While I am vehemently opposed to the ground zero mosque, burning Korans is not the way to go.That only fans the flames in a tit for tat demonstration. We burn Korans they burn American flags and shout Death to America. We shout back and they threaten to kill us.This also endangers the lives of our troops in Afghanistan and is a great recruitment tool for Al Queada............ If we are attacked again will the headlines read "Kagan/Obama knew" just like they did with Bush?
