Secretary of Treasury Tim “Tax Cheat” Geithner told members of Congress the high rate of unemployment in America is a healthy adjustment for the economy.

Noting the rising unemployment, Geithner said what the economy “is going through is a very necessary and healthy adjustment as [Americans] go back to living within their means.” He added: “We do not have an economy that is growing again.”

So for those of you out there who have lost your job and are barely scraping by, not knowing how you’re going to make it, don’t worry…Timmy says it’s good for you! I tell you what Timmy, if it’s so darn healthy why don’t you give up your job? Do the right thing Timbo and make America stronger!

Posted by: Shawn Swisher | Comments (0)

At a staged town hall meeting on Wednesday, Chairman Obama told members of the pre-screened audience that the stimulus is working. At the same time, unemployment has risen to 9.5%, the highest level in a quarter century.

Can’t…stop…laughing.

It seems that veteran White House correspondent Helen Thomas is getting fed up with how the Obama administration is controlling the press. She said that even Nixon didn’t control the press the way the current administration is and she should know. She’s been covering the White House since JFK was in office. During today’s White House press briefing, Thomas laid the smack down on Robert Gibbs in a heated exchange where she criticized the Obama administration for staging the questions at press events. Come on Helen, there’s nothing like stacking the deck. Thomas argued back and forth with Gibbs:

Thomas: “I’m amazed.  I’m amazed at you people who call for openness and transparency and—”

Gibbs: “Helen, you haven’t even heard the questions.”

Reid: “It doesn’t matter.  It’s the process.”

Thomas: “You have left open—”

Reid: “Even if there’s a tough question, it’s a question coming from somebody who was invited or was screened, or the question was screened.”

Thomas: “It’s shocking.  It’s really shocking.”

Gibbs: “Chip, let’s have this discussion at the conclusion of the town hall meeting.  How about that?”

Reid: “Okay.”

Gibbs: “I think—“

Thomas: “No, no, no, we’re having it now–”

Gibbs: “Well, I’d be happy to have it now.”

Thomas: “It’s a pattern.”

Gibbs: “Which question did you object to at the town hall meeting, Helen?”

Thomas: “It’s a pattern.  It isn’t the question—”

Gibbs: “What’s a pattern?”

Thomas: “It’s a pattern of controlling the press.”

Gibbs: “How so?  Is there any evidence currently going on that I’m controlling the press–poorly, I might add.”

Thomas: “Your formal engagements are pre-packaged.”

Gibbs: “How so?”

Reid: “Well, and controlling the public—”

Thomas: “How so?  By calling reporters the night before to tell them they’re going to be called on.  That is shocking.”

Gibbs: “We had this discussion ad nauseam and—”

Thomas: “Of course you would, because you don’t have any answers.”

When asked about the exchange afterward, Thomas stated “What the hell do they think we are, puppets?” Umm…yes.

Obamacare Explained

Posted by: Shawn Swisher | Comments (1)

This is a great video by Dick Morris explaining how Obama’s health care plan will inevitably result in the rationing of health care services based on financial criteria. Are you 70 years old and needing a new hip? Well, that just might not be practical. You may just need to take some pain medicine and deal with it. Are you pregnant and thought you would just get some drugs and have that c-section? Not so fast, that may just be too expensive. Your baby can come on out the old-fashioned way. There’s a reason why Canadians suffer higher mortality rates compared to their American counterparts…it’s called health care rationing.
