Here’s what Nancy Pelosi had to say today in response to a government report showing 20,000 jobs were lost in January, and a total of nearly 3.3 million jobs lost since Obama took office and the trillion-dollar ‘stimulus’ package was passed:

“And what a good morning it is as was indicated by the jobs figures this morning.”

I can’t figure out whether to chalk it up to complete idiocy or blatant partisanship…

…or both.

Take a look at how she addressed almost the same number of job losses back in 2003, when she asked, “Where Are the Jobs, Mr. President?”

Washington, D.C. — House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ announcement that 470,000 people abandoned their job searches in July and that 3.2 million private sector jobs have been lost since President Bush took office:

“The fact is that President Bush’s misguided economic policies have failed to create jobs. Since President Bush took office, the country has lost 3.2 million jobs, the worst record since President Hoover. And today we learned that in July nearly half a million people gave up looking for a job.

“Job losses are taking a real toll on the financial security of American families. While Democrats are fighting for opportunity, jobs, and economic security for working families, Republicans continue to focus on helping those who need help the least.

“According to today’s survey, while the national unemployment rate dropped slightly, it still stands at a near record high. In addition, the unemployment rate for African Americans was still over 11 percent in July, and the unemployment rate for Hispanics was 8.2 percent in July.

“It is time for President Bush and the Republicans to get to work for all Americans, not just the elite few.”

You know Democrats are in a bad place when their colleagues and friends at CNN are calling them out…

Obama Reads to 6th Graders
January 24th, 2010 10:55 pm

Sounds like a decent gesture, afterall reading to schoolchildren is a traditional Presidential photo op pasttime… Except, in this instance the President was reading because he’s apparently too stupid to give a speech to middleschoolers without the aid of teleprompters.

It’s always nice to know that the guy representing our country to world powers can’t even speak to a room full of school children without a prepared script scrolling on a pair of teleprompters.

Given the embarrassing results of his stumping for Democrat candidates in Virginia, New Jersey and Massachussetts and his miserable failure in campaigning for the Olympics in Copenhagen, I’ve figured out a winning strategy for us to defeat the terrorists….

Send Barack Obama to the middle east to campaign for al-Qaida.

The Scott Heard ‘Round the World…
January 20th, 2010 8:08 am

Dear Democrats,
We warned you. We told you that if you tried to ram that socialist agenda down our throats, we’d shove revolt back up your asses. You didn’t learn when voters sent you packing in Virginia and New Jersey. Despite the community organizer in chief swooping into those states to gladhand the koolaid drinking sheep. We told you that America is built on the foundation that all men are created equal, endowed by our Creator, with life, liberty and justice for all. These weren’t suggestions of how people should be treated, these are core principles upon which our country was founded and by God, we will never let them disappear without a fight.

You’ve overstepped your bounds. You’ve tried to thrust upon us a government that, under the guise of dispensing justice, favors kickbacks to supporters at the expense of the opposition and prefers handouts to the greedy at the expense of the hardworking men and women that keep this country moving everyday. You’ve continued to spend more than you should, or our money, never worrying whether the expense was sound, reasonable or financially viable. You’ve killed job growth, rewarded failure and cast a dark cloud over this country. You’ve waived the banner of cradle-to-grave government and the citizens of America have resoundingly objected it.

The message could not be more clear. We want a government that fears the people, not the other way around. We hope you’ve gotten the message this time. We’re mad as hell and we won’t stand by while you dismantle all the things that make this country great.

And let not your heart be troubled… we will be back. We do not view last night’s repudiation of your socialist agenda as an end, but a beginning. You’ve awakened the sleeping giant and he’s pretty pissed off.

See you in November.

Sincerely,
America

Our pastor, Dr. Ed Young, takes on corruption in Washington with a biblical perspective. A truly must-hear sermon.

All About the Bagging…
January 18th, 2010 5:44 pm

Democrats have been hyperventilating with glee over being able to use an innuendo-laden term like “teabaggers” to refer to American citizens with legitimate grievances against an over-bearing, pork-infested, rights-limiting, ever-encroaching federal government. It was sad enough when being used by unemployed hippies showing up to their daily liberal protests, and became downright ridiculous when anchors on networks like MSNBC and CNN started tossing the term around, seemingly impressed with themselves that they could be so crafty as to use a putdown that would rank high in an elementary school playground fight… but now we have United States Senators and one-time, has-been, uppity, elitist Presidential candidates doing it?

I think it’s only appropriate, then, to start referring to Democrats as D-baggers.

Of Course He Would… He’s a Democrat
January 18th, 2010 12:05 am

What happens when Democrats find themselves behind in elections?

They cheat, of course. (audio)

SCHULTZ (23:02): I tell you what, if I lived in Massachusetts I’d try to vote 10 times. I don’t know if they’d let me or not, but I’d try to. Yeah, that’s right. I’d cheat to keep these bastards out. I would. ‘Cause that’s exactly what they are.

The more we hope, the less they change.

Scott Brown vs. ObamaCare
January 12th, 2010 9:02 pm

One man potentially stands as the last line of defense against a disastrous monstrosity of legislation that threatens the United States. That man is Scott Brown. On January 19th, voters in Massachusetts will go to the polls in a special election to fill the Massachusetts Class I Senate seat (formerly held by Ted Kennedy), for the remainder of the term ending January 3, 2013. The election has become a referendum of sorts on the healthcare fiasco currently being crafted through backroom deals and shady bribery among the Democrat-controlled Congress. If Republican Scott Brown can pull off an upset in the blue state, he would become the 41st Republican in the Senate, ending the Democrat super majority.

Brown’s campaign had a goal of raising $500,000 today. So far, he’s raised $1.3 million and counting. Click here to raise that total.

By the way, here’s Brown during a recent debate reminding people just whose seat is up for grabs in this election.
