Economic Porn

I am amazed that all of the stories of families down on their luck in a bad economy seem to have vanished into thin air. The people are still unemployed and the hardship is real. Is the media avoiding the subject because Obama is allready tanking.

A certain amount of erosion in his poll numbers was inevitable. I am troubled by some of the critiues of Obama. I am bothered by any that mention his race and I have seen plenty of that. A
pundit wrote "Obama hates white people". This is not accurate and Bill Ayers is still white. A biracial President should be criticized on policy alone.

He has damaged himself by having what appears to be a tin ear and by being arrogant at times. the real story of Joe the Plumber was the dissmissive I know what is best for you attitude. How would Obama know this as he has never held a real job. He is doing the same thing again with health care. Naming the bill after Ted Kennedy does not allay a single concern of most Americans.

The media seems to be asleep at the wheel on the critics of this health plan. I will contrast this with the way they idaelize antiwar protesters who are communist led.

It would be nice if the media did its job.

Obamas the anti-christ. He will declare a State of Emergency (martial law) and conservatives will be round up and exterminated. Swine flu will most likely be the excuse for declaring state of emergency. RFID chips, North American Union, 2012. SHTF. Nothing can save you.

I hadn't really noticed until you mentioned it.

Just a few weeks back, the WaPo was running such stories on the front page every day. Not now, however.

Duck,
I've got a friend bugging me with what you mentioned.

I may have to stop taking the phone calls.
