What do the states with over 1,000 initial jobless claims have in common?

What do the states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, Michigan, Maryland, Connecticut, Washington, Nevada all have in common? They saw initial jobless claims jump over by 1,000 this past week. What else do they have in common? They all voted for Obama, thinking he will be the one who will fix the economy, after four years of complete failure. North Carolina was also in this list, and while they didn’t vote for Obama this time, they did four years ago, and have an incompetent, Democrat Governor in charge of their state.

Ohio is especially ironic, because over 6,000 initial filings were results of layoffs in the automobile and manufacturing industries.

NOT KIDDING: The Most Terrifying Obama Quote Ever

The hubris of this president truly knows no bounds:

Speaking to reporters Wednesday in the East Room of the White House for the first full-fledged press briefing since March, President Obama was asked if he would be willing to accept closing tax loopholes and limiting deductions instead of a tax rate increase on Americans making over $250,000 per year. Mr. Obama responded: "When it comes to the top 2 percent, what I'm not going to do is extend further a tax cut for those who don't need it."


As the president concluded remarks on upcoming "fiscal cliff" negotiations with Congress, he said: "Are we going to hold the middle class hostage?" The implication by Mr. Obama is that the wealthy are holding the middle class "hostage" if they are allowed to keep money they legally earned, but "don't need."

Consider:

• A married couple -- an attorney and a nurse who together earn $280,000-a-year -- with a special needs child and $150,000 in student loans...

• Another couple -- who own a dry-cleaner, work 75-hour weeks, and gross $350,000 while employing four others...

• A single, biomedical engineer -- who earns $225,000-a-year and spends her spare-time working on a breakthrough medical device because she wants to build her own company...

They are all members of the "top 2 percent"...

And they don't need the money! They don't need it, because Obama believes he is entitled to confiscate it and then redistribute it to his favorite constituencies! His campaign bundlers, union bosses, crony capitalist pals, and eco-Statists... they all deserve it more than the people who actually toiled, sweated, and earned it.

Have you ever heard such a thing from a president?

Terrifying. Outrageous. Un-American.

And without an election to worry about, I believe we will see Mr. Obama unleash his inner Alinsky. And it will take a well-deserved impeachment to stop him.

Hooray!… Fox’s Ralph Peters: “I Don’t Want To Hear ‘John Kerry’s A Combat Veteran’ — So Was Benedict Arnold” (Video)

"And you wonder why the Military has no respect for this poor excuse for Commander in Chief". MC

Media Matters has their panties in a wad after FOX News analyst Ralph Peters said this:
 
“I Don’t Want To Hear ‘John Kerry’s A Combat Veteran’ — So Was Benedict Arnold”



Of course, Peters is right…
John Kerry is a disgusting liar who smeared his military brothers and accused them of war crimes.




Here is what Kerry said about his fellow soldiers back in 1971:

“They had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Ghengis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam.”

And, Democrats want to put this clown in charge of the military.
You just can’t make this stuff up!

Swift Vets Promise to Regroup if John Kerry Is Nominated as Secretary of Defense (Video)

Hooray!
John O’Neill, the founder of Swift Veterans for Truth, told Sean Hannity that if Barack Obama wants to nominate antiwar activist John Kerry to Secretary of State or Secretary of Defense the group will “do the very best we can” to protest the outrageous appointment.
“To make him a Secretary of Defense or Secretary of State would be a disaster.”
