"Summer of recovery" over, thank goodness
The good news is the unofficial end of summer was Labor Day. Thank goodness, and not a moment too soon. Since P-BO kicked off his “Summer of Recovery” the jobless rate has INCREASED from 9.5% to 9.6%. I not sure we can stand much more “recovery.” The bad news is that official end of summer isn’t until mid-September.


But I am wondering if “The Summer of Recovery” will become P-BO’s “Mission Accomplished” moment. You know when President Bush landed on that aircraft carrier and some genius had placed a huge Mission Accomplished banner behind him for his address to the crew.

I guess we’ll know when Keith Olberdouche close his little watched cable broadcast with a count up of the number of days it has been since P-BO declared it “The Summer of Recovery.”

Or would P-BO’s mission accomplished moment be this:
After the P-BO officially ended combat operations in Iraq, American troops found themselves in uh, er, hmmm combat with heavily armed militants assaulting an Iraqi military headquarters. The, uh, combat killed at least 12 people and wounded dozens more.

Public sector Labor Day
Yesterday was Labor Day. So I ask the question, should we all be able to keep the fruits of our labor? P-BO’s short answer is no. He plans to take another 50 BILLION and “spread it around.” But don’t worry, according to P-BO, we should start to see some jobs from the 50 BILLION in about a year. Well since we’ve had such great success with the first stimulus saving or creating 100,000,000,000,000 jobs, why not?

The good news this Labor Day is that organized labor continues lose membership. The loss can be attributed primarily due to the unions being populated with thugs, socialist and are a wholly owned subsidiary of the Demo-Dope party. It’s like the local paper, dying a slow miserable death but totally unwilling to gain traction by displaying an unbiased even hand when it come to politics.

The bad news is that the only place where unions are gaining traction is in the one place where they are not needed, the public sector. From the bureau of labor statistics:

More public sector employees (7.9 million) belonged to a union than did private sector employees (7.4 million), despite there being 5 times more wage and salary workers in the private sector.

But wait more good news from the Washington Times:

Today, Big Government, not the private sector, is Big Labor's bread and butter. That's why union officials push relentlessly for higher taxes and bigger government and seem completely unconcerned that the policies they advocate will slash overall private-sector job growth in future years.

Just three decades ago, less than a third of all employees subject to "exclusive" union bargaining worked for the government. Earlier this year, the U.S. Labor Department reported that for the first time ever, a majority of unionized workers across America are now government employees.

Gene Robinson, aka Gene I’m so smart Simpson, Homer’s dumber brother.
Geno said that there is no wave of discontent among voter. No, according to Geno voters are just throwing a temper tantrum. You know like a two year old. First off, Geno is so dumb he could even come up with his own analogy. He had to steal the same one Pete Jennings used after the 94 mid-term election. D’Oh!  Second, go to hell.  Who are you to tell anyone anything.  I'll tell you who is having a temper tantrum Geno - LIBERALS.  They insist on calling everyone who disagrees with them for any reason a racist.  That's a temper tantrum.  Gene, in the words of the great GySgt Driscoll, go pi$$ up a rope.

And this:
President Obama's new presidential rug seemed beyond reproach, with quotations from Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. woven along its curved edge.

"The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." According media reports, this quote keeping Obama company on his wheat-colored carpet is from King.

Except it's not a King quote. The words belong to a long-gone Bostonian champion of social progress. His roots in the republic ran so deep that his grandfather commanded the Minutemen at the Battle of Lexington.

This reminds me of the CEO when faced with crisis of management orders motivational posters be installed around the work place to boost moral.  That will fix everything.  Or the cartoon where the guy is hanging a sign that says "THINK."  Only thing is he hangs the "THINK" sign up-side-down.

I’m for the old rug with the bold gold rays and the blue background on the seal. The next president ought to have that P-BO thing, misquotes and all, rolled up, boxed and shipped to farthest government owned building in the world. There to be placed in the attic underneath the Christmas – uh – “Holiday” decorations. But to be honest, I see Moochell’s finger prints all over this one.

Tomorrow Fido.
