EXCERPT  | " ... But as all litigators worth their salt wind up telling every claims-award jury, the most catastrophic costs to victims are those which are less tangible and remain hidden from cursory view. We recognize this litigious category as “pain and suffering.”

So, on behalf of my fellow Americans, here is my [Kyle-Anne Shiver] list of the 5 most horrendous hidden costs of the Obama presidency:

5. President Obama’s pass-the-buck, blame-it-on-the-other-guy, it-was-just-bad-luck performance as a no-account “leader” sends a horrible message to our youth.
4. ObamaCare Lawsuits by more than half the states at a combined hidden cost of thousands of dollars per hour – per hour!
3. Obama’s federal regulations, growing like kudzu in uncontrolled, maniacal frenzy, form a stranglehold on American business.
2. The specter of uncertainty haunts every American in Obama’s Changeopoly Blitzkrieg.
1. The Great Demoralization of America under Obama. (Shiver, K-A. Aug 24, 2011) ... "

[ ... Not withholding ... ]
" ...

• The staggeringly high unemployment rate – 9.1%, not counting the Americans who have given up looking for work or who are underemployed.
• The still-tumbling housing values, now worse than the Great Depression.
• The inflation indicators, with uncounted sharp inflation in food and gasoline.
• The debt and the deficit, now too big to even fathom without an advanced degree in mathematics.
• The unfunded future liabilities –Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, public worker pensions, and the like.
• When the SandP downgrade is thrown into this cliff-hanging mix, our fiscal situation goes from bad to worse. (ibid.) ... "

EXCERPT  |  " ... Obama, if actually trying to be a good American president, is an abyssmal failure. If he is an agent of the Cloward-Piven strategy [See: also HERE --2008, HERE -- 2010, and HERE --2009] ... to collapse our constitutional republic, he has been frighteningly successful.

Health care is not a right, unless you believe that all physicians, nurses, pharmacists and technicians are nothing more than slaves to the uneducated masses.

Employment is not a right either. An employer has to hire an employee, and the crushing costs imposed upon entrepeneurs by our socialist pseudo-intellectual politicians have been making such hiring ever closer to impossible with each new counterproductive federal regulation. It is, in fact, the federal spending (for the sole purpose of buying the votes of the uneducated, the lazy, and the covetous) that is destroying the greatest national economy in the history of the world.

Even if you taxed everyone earning more than $200,000/year at 100%, you would only raise an additional $70 billion dollars – which is a freaking rounding error in an Obama budget with deficits each year of his misrule of between $1.29 and $1.65 TRILLION!

If you think the disgustingly misnamed ‘progressive’ ideology works so well, then why don’t you move to Greece, Spain, Cuba, North Korea or some similar country that lives by your preferred economic slavery?

Let those of us mature enough to know that one must EARN one’s income through hard work and due diligence – and be allowed to keep said income rather than have it stolen by slimey political plantation owners – have our liberty as our Constitution so beautifully states.

I cannot wait for the communist currently occupying the White House to be voted out of office, and I hope all his Keynesian acolytes remain unemployed for the rest of our national welfare. (babydoc. Aug 24, 2011. LINK)

Clinton's Derivatives: UPDATE

Retrieved by Dave Darnell

We are certain we do not know what derivatives former President Bill Clinton could be talking about modifying; but we at MooPig certainly support his right to modify them.

John Roberts: "Mr. President, in terms of the overall economic downturn, Time magazine had an article out this week in which it named 25 of the people most responsible for the economic downturn, and you were there. They, they had a picture of you in what looked like a police lineup. They had a little button where you could vote who's the most responsible? They pointed to your signing of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Commodity Futures Modernization Act. I wonder what you think about that."

Derivatives, eh? [Read the Article HERE]

In the ranks of death you'll find him;
His father's sword he hath girded on,
And his wild harp slung behind him;

One sword, at least, thy right shall guard,
One faithful harp shall praise thee!"

Here Come da' Energy Czar...

by Pat Darnell | 12.06.2008
Now first things first. Energy Czar Position opening up. Obama has said it, so I reckon it is the lingo we will be using. But why use Czar -- why not something Native American like Lameduck Sitting Bush... or Chief Comic-Relief Cosby'er...

Summary: The wrangle over the creation of a high-level energy council or climate "czar" could determine which appointees will run the three agencies, which have the biggest impact on energy and climate policy. ... appointees to run the departments of Interior and Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency...

Obama, Aides Consider Appointing Energy 'Czar'
By STEPHEN POWER and NEIL KING JR. | Dec 6, 2008
WSJ
What is a "Czar" -- besides a tyrannical leader of an enigmatic but defunct Caucasian National Royalty -- being here resurrected by the First Black President of the USA? Obama, we hired you because you promised you wouldn't be like all the others. In this stage of two presidents, -- because I see you executing more often lately than Lame duck Sitting Bush -- I think your DC crowd of talking heads are dragging their under utilized feet.

Sort of like this fence straddling cowboy in the photo: Prez Obama says, "Son, your country needs you as Czar... of somethin' or another."

Bull rider gives a faceBook of good faith, but later: "Do I really want to ride that bull out there in all that mud."

Is that the Maynard G Krebs motto I hear on the wind from Baltimore? "WORK?"

Bob Denver, played his best friend, beatnick Maynard G. Krebs ("Work?!?"), an abvious prototype of today's teenage slacker. (Which would make sense, since 'Dobie Gillis' was running on Nick at Nite ten years ago!) Maynard G. Krebs looks like he stepped right out of a modern Abecrombie and Fitch ad! [SOURCE]

The only way that the environment will ever be fixed by Federal action is if we put a herd of Angus on the White House Lawn.

Paternal Abandonment

PHOTOs are supposedly half-brothers of B Obama

by Pat Darnell

This will not be as heavy as the title implies. As introduction to paternal abandonment, this article about Barry Obama shows a good example. It happens in two prevalent ways in the US: death of a father, or not stipulated abandonment. In Barack Obama's case the paternal abandonment was not stipulated and occurred when Barack was two.

My own Dad was abandoned when he was 3 years old by death of his father. My grandfather died early from a disease that today could easily be prevented. Parental Abandonment can also happen if either or both parents are emotionally disassociated with their children during childhood developmental years. These are anvils around the neck for clinical psychologists to hammer on.

The major problem with paternal abandonment in the US is that the child does not have the "usual" surname that goes with nuclear family monogamy. Also, the aftermath may leave a long stretch of uncertainty in who is who. In Barack's case it has become stranger ever y time someone digs up a nother relative of the Obama clan. Three days before what has become an international election, yet another Obama branch is found, but this one is a refugee from Africa.

As MooPig, I am going to hazard a whimsical suggestion: I think Jeremiah Wright and his Church should with all haste provide asylum for the new found Aunt Onyango, who is living illegally in US... what do you think?

"The Associated Press found that Obama's aunt had been instructed to leave the country four years ago by an immigration judge who rejected her request for asylum from her native Kenya. The woman, Zeituni Onyango (zay-TUHN on-YANG-oh), is living in public housing in Boston and is the half-sister of Obama's late father. [SOURCE]

"A statement given to the AP by Obama's campaign said, "Senator Obama has no knowledge of her status but obviously believes that any and all appropriate laws be followed."

"Obama says he didn't know aunt's illegal status, 12th Ld-Writethru, By NEDRA PICKLER | AP foreign | Saturday November 1 2008

"Onyango, 56, is part of Obama's large paternal family, with many related to him by blood whom he never knew growing up.

"Obama's father, Barack Obama Sr., left the future presidential nominee when the boy was 2, and they reunited only once for a monthlong visit when Obama was 10. The elder Obama lived most of his life in Kenya, where he fathered six other sons and a daughter with three other wives. He died in a car crash in 1982."
