When John and I got married and trying to decide how and where to live, perhaps he should have come here...

President Obama seems to think that throwing money at a problem, solves the problem, even though it hasn't worked before. His "jobs speech" was exactly what I expected. Spend more money or "stimulus". Which hasn't worked any times that it's been implemented, and that includes George Bush's stimulus. So, there will be some in Washington with enough common sense to oppose the jobs bill. They will be accused of not caring about the staggering unemployment in our nation. If you're one of ... Read More

At one time Spain used to be my second home, and still now I have many loved ones who live there. So that is one reason to keep up with the news, but I do have another reason. Since Obama and Democrat's policies are trying to instill here what Spain already has, I think it's wise to keep a watch and see what happens. So far, it's not good. I do believe that if Obama had his way totally, we would ... Read More

Perhaps the following gives us some insight as to why no one is hiring: By MICHAEL P. FLEISCHER from the Wall Street Journal With unemployment just under 10% and companies sitting on their cash, you would think that sooner or later job growth would take off.

I guess  being a community organizer doesn't make you a leader. We are now familiar with Obama's statement regarding the oil crisis: “I don’t sit around just talking to experts because this is a college seminar. We talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers so I know whose ass to kick.” To think that talking to 'experts' to know who to blame/punish, is not leadership. According to RedState There is one well leaking caused by the collapse of ... Read More

You have to love modern day news and how it's all videotaped for our review and reflection. The following clip where Obama mentions the how the stimulus package will create or save jobs "right now", "immediately", "ahead of schedule"  and then how he backs off from those words in clips later should be an embarrassment to this administration. The real news is actually scary: 7 Months After Stimulus 49 of 50 States Have Lost Jobs America Now Over 6 Million Jobs ... Read More
