‘Cult Of The Personality’ Led To Obama’s 2012 Victory, Former San Francisco Mayor Tells MSNB

shocking

In a segment on MSNBC’s Hardball about the dynamics that lead to a victory for President Barack Obama in the 2012 elections, former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown said that he found the Democratic Party’s fortune in the last cycle not necessarily indicative of future success. Brown said that Democrats did not win races at the state-level in the numbers they should have and, in combination with Mitt Romney’s weak candidacy, the “cult of the personality” around Obama was more responsible for his victory than the Democratic Party’s appeal.

Corporate Profits Have Grown By 171 Percent Under Obama -- Highest Rate Since 1900 | Alternet


Corporate Profits Have Grown By 171 Percent Under Obama -- Highest Rate Since 1900


Twice as high as the Reagan years.



January 17, 2013 |





Business executives like to portray the Obama administration as the “ most anti-business” in history, creating an “ increasingly hostile environment for investment and job creation.” However, the data tells a far different story. According to a Bloomberg News analysis, corporate profits have grown by 171 percent under Obama, the most in the post-war era:

U.S. corporations’ after-tax profits have grown by 171 percent under Obama, more than under any president since World War II, and are now at their highest level relative to the size of the economy since the government began keeping records in 1947, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Profits are more than twice as high as their peak during President Ronald Reagan’s administration and more than 50 percent greater than during the late-1990s Internet boom, measured by the size of the economy.
Average annual corporate profit growth under Obama is the highest since 1900, whereas profit growth declined during both Bush presidencies. As a share of the economy, corporate profits have never been higher.
Unfortunately, this profit deluge has not been shared by workers, whose wages as a percentage of the economy have fallen to all-time lows. Workers also got dinged by the recent increase in the payroll tax, which was large enough to wipe out a minimum wage increase in some states.

Anybody stupid enough to call Obama a "socialist" needs psychiatric treatment.




November 2012 election: A victory for America!

Inauguration Poster Likens Obama To Jesus…



They don’t call him “Chicago Jesus” for nothing.
Via Fox News Radio:
Street vendors and souvenir stores across Washington, D.C. are selling posters depicting President Obama as Jesus Christ — and one national news publication called him the “Second Coming.”


The poster, which does not have the official endorsement of the White House, features an image of the president in prayer with the headline, “Prophecy Fulfilled.”


“Barak is of Hebrew origin and its meaning is ‘flash of lightning,” the poster notes, referencing a passage in in the Old Testament book of Judges.


Hussein, they allege, is a Biblical word meaning “good and handsome.”


“So you see, Barak was destined to be a good and handsome man that would rise like a flash of lightning to win victory in a battle against overwhelming odds,” the poster read.




Keep reading…
It would be a shame if he was Lincolnized this time. Figuratively speaking of course. ;-)

Fun Fact Of The Day: 8,332,000 Americans Dropped Out Of The Workforce During Obama’s First Term…
(CNSNews.com) – The number of Americans age 16 or older who decided not to work or even to seek a job increased by 8,332,000 to a record 88,839,000 in President Barack Obama’s first term, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.


The increase in Americans opting out of the labor force during Obama’s first term resulted in a decrease in the labor force participation rate from 65.7 percent in January 2009, the month Obama was first inaugurated, to 63.6 percent in December 2012, the latest month reported. Before Obama took office, the labor force participation rate had not been as low as 63.6 percent since 1981, the year President Ronald Reagan took over from President Jimmy Carter.


To be in the labor force a person must either have a job or actively sought one in the previous four weeks.


When Obama was inaugurated in January 2009, there were 80,507,000 American civilians age 16 or older who did not have a job or seek one. In December 2012, there were 88,839,000—thus, the increase of 8,332,000.

With the increase in the percentage of the population over the age of 55 I'm surprised it isn't more!

That isn't so hard after he beat down the private sector in his first term.... Really, how low did you expect the WH to push things in the first place?



Looks like you're finally getting it

While we are on the subject is there an "inaugural ball" for a president's 2nd term?

I don't recall the other 43 Presidents hiring a dozen or so entertainers for an inauguration, but then again, considering that he approved a spring vacation for his girls and a dozen of their friends in Mexico (along with a dozen Secret Service agents) and a $3.5 million dollar Christmas vacation in Hawaii, it really comes as no surprise.

He may as well as hired Lollapoloza to help celebrate.

No doubt it would be a little "rich" for my budget, but then I don't travel in quite the same circles he does.-:)

Can you recall other Presidents that spent so lavishly on celebrating themselves?

To tell you the truth, I haven't been made aware of ANY other presidents spending budget and second I doubt if he has that much input into it as I imagine White House staff makes the arrangements and probably weeks or months down the road a piece of paper might end up on his desk to sign off on it.
