President Obama attached a signing statement to the OmniPork bill. Didn’t he chide President Bush for using signing statements? And why didn’t he fly off to some far away ACORN office to sign the bill in front of cameras and his adoring fans? Personally, I kind of like it when Obama stays away from the spotlight. So do the markets!

Things are happening so fast it’s impossible to get to it all. Feel free to let me know what I’ve missed.

    This is interesting: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123681860305802821.html

    “Barack Obama has written two famous, widely read books of autobiography — “Dreams from My Father” and “The Audacity of Hope.” Let me introduce his third, a book that will touch everyone’s life: “A New Era of Responsibility: Renewing America’s Promise. The President’s Budget and Fiscal Preview” (Government Printing Office, 141 pages, $26; free on the Web). This is the U.S. budget for laymen, and it’s a must read.

    Turn immediately to page 11. There sits a chart called Figure 9. This is the Rosetta Stone to the presidential mind of Barack Obama. Memorize Figure 9, and you will never be confused. Not happy, perhaps, but not confused.

    One finds many charts in a federal budget, most attributed to such deep mines of data as the Census Bureau or the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The one on page 11 is attributed to “Piketty and Saez.”

    Either you know instantly what “Piketty and Saez” means, or you don’t. If you do, you spent the past two years working to get Barack Obama into the White House. If you don’t, their posse has a six-week head start on you.”

    Add this to above comment:

    “Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez, French economists, are rock stars of the intellectual left. Their specialty is “earnings inequality” and “wealth concentration.” “

    It’s the typical double standard that the liberals try to feed the masses.

    Sadly, the masses don’t realize the double standard. They’ve been blinded…

    HEYYYY! Everybody see where the GOVERNMENT is going to even go as far as to tell us what kind of LIGHT BULBS we can use? WOW! They are wanting us to use a light bulb filled with murcury. I have them in every lamp in my house cause I wanted to see how much I would save on my electric bill. When I did this I noticed some differences. First, When these bulbs are not warmed up the light is REALLY dim. The second thing I noticed is that they dont fit in over half of the light globes and are not made for globed lights! So when they pass this little deal I hope everyone is willing to change out every light fixture in their house along with the light bulbs. Just another way of getting taxes.

    IF these bulbs break you are supposed to call out HAZMAT to clean it up as well! Sounds like fun!

    Some time last year I posted a video of a congressman reading the warnings on the lightbulg packaging. If I remember I’ll find it later and post the link here. We’ve been stocking up on incandescent bulbs.

    Well, stocking up on incandescent bulbs may be a good idea, the problem with that is they’ll make them illegal. Then the brownshirt army of the “1″ will come around with infrared detectors busting people whose lights put out more heat than is authorized by the Department of Incandescent Management, better known as DIM, who is directly under the Department Of Personal Energy Home Economic Advancement Directive Services, better known as DOPEHEADS.

    So, when the DIMs report to the DOPEHEADS, your ass is sunk.

    Put that way I don’t know if I should laugh or cry:-(

    My husband installed some recessed lights recently. They’re made for the new bulbs. The lights were installed. They worked fine. The insulators came and blew insulation into the ceiling. All of a sudden the new, environmentally friendly lights no longer worked. After they cooled off they worked again, for a few minutes. The DIMs, reporting to the DOPEHEADS created these lights, probably to keep us all in the dark.

    WOW~! That was really funny angry white man! Im rolling over here! How creative!

    I really think this is just another way to get in our pockets. They upgrade to “digital” tv so people can watch the idiots in Hollywood that made all this Obama crap possible because they are so detached from reality. Then they upgrade to these dangerous lights that dont work as well. They will make us upgrade everything just to get the taxes from sales. Soon they will have a new type of microwave or something to make sure everyone gets cancer and the Socialist Healthcare Intitlement Team (better known as S.H.I.T led by none other than Kansan Kathleen Sebelius), can then deny you health care based on the prognosis thereby getting your death taxes and taking half your crap to auction when you die! I would not be amazed if the government starts charging lot rent at the cemetary!
