So this is Obama’s big plan to fix the economy? You have to be kidding me. With all the problems facing Americans today, this is what Obama and his cohorts come up with . . . that’s embarrassing!

In order for a car to achieve an A+, the car would have to get 117 miles per gallon or MPG. I guess only bicycles will get an A+ for the first 100 years.

Are the people at the EPA and Obama out of their minds? How can these dullards even justify suggesting this kind of nonsense when after 2 years in office, the American economy is still in the toilet.

It doesn’t matter if its the economy that Obama inherited from GW Bush. Obama had all these great ideas during the 2008 campaign and has followed through on only one, Health Care Reform, which will in all eventuality bankrupt America. Now after two years in office, Obama wants to deflect blame back on Bush? WTF???

The malaise and stagnation of the American economy is a direct result of blunders and policy coming directly from the Obama Administration. Other world economies are growing. India had 8 percent growth this year. Germany, who is pulling back from their socialist past and CUTTING SPENDING AND TAXES grew 7.6 percent. Even the Russian economy grew at 4 percent.

Meanwhile here in America, we have a president in Obama, who has done exactly the wrong thing at precisely the right time. It so reminds me and everyone old enough to remember of Jimmy Carter. In fact there are many economists that call Obama’s presidency the second term of Jimmy Carter.

Reforming health care, raising taxes, letting tax breaks run out, all of these actions by Obama and the democrats take money out of the economy. They cause an economy to falter.

It has not gotten to the point that even the liberal media that helped elect Obama have begun to ask the questions that should have been asked during the campaign. Mainly, what is Obama going to do to fix the economy.

Amazingly enough, the silence from Obama and the idiots he calls advisers has been deafening, with the exception of the usual platitudes like, “The fed stands at the ready to throw more money at the situation” and “Blame the republicans for stonewalling what doesn’t work anyway.”

For the ardent defenders of the messiah, cutting taxes gives people more money to spend and more importantly, pay off debt. Throwing money at the recession that isn’t even worth the paper that its printed on solves nothing and this has been proven in the last two and a half years.

That’s right, for those of you to loaded from bong hits to remember, GW Bush sent the first stimulus package through. All of these stimulus packages have done little or nothing to help the economy.

So America will continue along moving sideways. Our taxes will go up. We will all sit back and watch the house and senate go back to the republicans like it did in 1994 ala Bill Clinton and his own ineptness that sent us into an economic tailspin. Its going to be a long two years. JD

Note to Sheriff Joe Arpaio : Don’t worry about the Mexican drug cartels putting a price on your head. You have the strongest, wealthiest and toughest cartel from Chicago after you now. The Obama cartel.

Just who do you think you are Joe Arpaio? Aren’t you a government employee? Where do you get off actually doing your job and enforcing the laws of America? I guess no one told you that as a government employee you not are required to do anything and you are making the rest of the government lackeys look bad.

Now you have the Obama cartel after you and once they put the word out and order the hit, there is no stopping them. They will pass laws to make sure you disappear.

In all seriousness, unless there is evidence of impropriety, there is nothing the justice department which is clearly being directed by president Obama, can do about Arpaio enforcing the laws of the land.

The Justice Department has been investigating the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office for alleged civil rights violations. Officials set the deadline following a meeting Tuesday with Arpaio’s attorneys in Washington.

The Department has outlined 51 requests for documents and information on how the Sheriff’s Office conducts traffic stops and searches, trains new recruits and treats prisoners held in county jails. Officials also asked for access to arrest records from Jan. 2008 and to interview officers and inmates at county facilities.

I’ll tell you how he treats his prisoners. He treats them like the animals that they are. Keep in mind that Sheriff Joe Arpaio has the lowest return rate of criminals to his jails in America. This would mean that he is doing something right.

All of this saber rattling by Obama is just another attack on Arizona and their ability to fight illegal immigration. This is a direct attempt by a sitting president to usurp the rights of the state of Arizona and should be treated as an act of treason by the great state of Arizona.

It goes without saying that proponents of illegal immigration into America will do or say anything to keep the takeover of America going. They want America to be a third world shitbox like the one the countries that they come from.

Don’t believe me? Take a trip into Pomona or Ontario. Pomona used to be like Hollywood east. Big bands used to play the local ballrooms and people would come from miles around to see the place.

Now Mission and Holt Avenues are nothing but used car lots, taco stands, pawn shops and liquor stores. Graffiti is everywhere. Crime is better today but is largely out of control.

Houses in South Pomona resemble housing in Mexico. Bars on every window. Security doors on every door. Homes are painted all of these crazy colors that look like someone vomited in Technicolor.

So when I hear this nonsense about how they come here looking for a better life, I call bullshit. These people refuse to assimilate. They refuse to speak English. They refuse to become part of the fabric that makes up America, that makes us all American.

This is what the proponents of illegal immigration can’t seem to understand. People are pissed off at them because they come to America to live but behave as if they are still in Mexico. JD

As Republican members of Congress press for changes to the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, preventing automatic citizenship for babies born to illegal immigrants, opponents insist the debate is not really about babies.

Instead, they say it is about politics and votes – not fixing the immigration system.

Still, the debate could resonate in Texas, where not only 1.5 million illegal immigrants are estimated to reside but at least 60,000 babies are added to their households annually.

Parkland Memorial Hospital delivers more of those babies than any other hospital in the state. Last year at Parkland, 11,071 babies were born to women who were noncitizens, about 74 percent of total deliveries. Most of these women are believed to be in the country illegally.

State Rep. Rafael Anchía, D-Dallas, accused Republicans of using the births to generate an explosive election issue.

“They’re pulling the pin on the immigration grenade,” he said. “It’s all about the November elections and continuing to use the immigration issue as a wedge to win votes this fall.”

But to Republicans, the emerging national debate is long overdue, considering that millions of immigrants have been living illegally in this country for years.

“They’re violating our law, and we’re giving their children the benefit of U.S. citizenship,” said state Rep. Leo Berman, R-Tyler, whose 2009 bill in the Legislature would have challenged the birthright of immigrant children.

That bill died in committee, although Berman has vowed to file another version next year that would prohibit the state from issuing birth certificates to the children of “illegal aliens.”

“I’ve checked the Congressional Record for when the 14th Amendment was written, and the author was quoted as saying that it did not apply to foreigners,” he said. “There’s no question in my mind about it.”

A federal judge overturned California’s gay-marriage ban Wednesday in a landmark case that could eventually force the U.S. Supreme Court to confront the question of whether same-sex couples have a constitutional right to wed.

Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker made his ruling in a lawsuit filed by two gay couples who claimed the voter-approved ban violated their civil rights.

Gay couples waving rainbow and American flags outside the courthouse cheered, hugged and kissed as word of the ruling spread.

“This is a victory for the American people. It’s a victory for our justice system,” said former U.S. Solicitor General Theodore Olson, who delivered the closing argument at trial for opponents of the ban.

He said the ruling “vindicates the rights of a minority of our citizens to be treated with decency and respect and equality in our system.”

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger also praised the ruling as an important step toward equality and freedom for all people.

Despite the favorable ruling for same-sex couples, gay marriage will not be allowed to resume immediately. Judge Walker said he wants to decide whether his order should be suspended while the proponents of the ban pursue their appeal in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

This is exactly why Americans are so pissed off about illegal immigration. The irony of the situation is that Mexicans just don’t get it. If you want to piss off Americans from all walks of life, run around waving the Mexican flag.

Its bad enough that we have to turn on the television and see 30 channels broadcast in Spanish, but to add insult to injury, Mexicans run around proclaiming the greatness of their corrupt and morally bankrupt country to anyone that will listen.

I have said it a million times and will say it again. If Mexico is such a great place, than why are you all here in America? If the United States were to give you back the south western region on America and make it a part of Mexico again, it would just become another corrupt part of Mexico.

What purpose would any of that serve the Mexicans that are here in America sucking off of the American teat?

If any of the above were to happen, the Mexicans that are here in America would have to move farther north to continue sucking off of the American teat.

If America were to give the land back to Mexico, the Mexicans here would be at a loss to figure out how to survive without the American tax payer footing the bill for their gigantic four wheel drive trucks and shanties in the ghetto.

So shut the hell up already. I have news for you idiots. Here in California, when an illegal alien commits a crime, they do jail time and then are promptly deported back to Mexico.

So all of your pissing and moaning and carrying on with your dopey flags are serving no purpose. Grow a brain and assimilate already like the rest of the immigrants of America that now call themselves AMERICANS!

A federal judge on Wednesday blocked the most controversial parts of Arizona’s immigration law from taking effect, delivering a last-minute victory to opponents of the crackdown.

The overall law will still take effect Thursday, but without the provisions that angered opponents — including sections that required officers to check a person’s immigration status while enforcing other laws.

The judge also put on hold parts of the law that required immigrants to carry their papers at all times, and made it illegal for undocumented workers to solicit employment in public places. In addition, the judge blocked officers from making warrantless arrests of suspected illegal immigrants.

“Requiring Arizona law enforcement officials and agencies to determine the immigration status of every person who is arrested burdens lawfully-present aliens because their liberty will be restricted while their status is checked,” U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton ruled.

She ruled that the controversial sections should be put on hold until the courts resolve the issues. Other provisions of the law, many of them procedural and slight revisions to existing Arizona immigration statute, will go into effect at 12:01 a.m.

The ruling came just as police were making last-minute preparations to begin enforcement of the law and protesters were planning large demonstrations to speak out against the measure. At least one group planned to block access to federal offices, daring officers to ask them about their immigration status.

The volume of the protests will likely be turned down a few notches because of the ruling by Bolton, a Clinton appointee who suddenly became a crucial figure in the immigration debate when she was assigned the seven lawsuits filed against the Arizona law.

Wow. Who would have figured . . . . NOT. Talk about epic fail. Obama once again steps in dog crap without having a Popcicle stick to get it out from in between his toes. JD

THE US government secretly advised Scottish ministers it would be “far preferable” to free the Lockerbie bomber than jail him in Libya.

Correspondence obtained by The Sunday Times reveals the Obama administration considered compassionate release more palatable than locking up Abdel Baset al-Megrahi in a Libyan prison.

The intervention, which has angered US relatives of those who died in the attack, was made by Richard LeBaron, deputy head of the US embassy in London, a week before Megrahi was freed in August last year on grounds that he had terminal cancer.
