Shortly after Barack Obama became President, liberal United States Senator Sherrod Brown quickly locked arms with him and became one of the fiercest supporters of his $825 billion stimulus. Brown went to the airways to tell Ohioans that the stimulus would help repair the Brent Spence Bridge – which it never did, nor will it in Obama’s second stimulus – and even sent out a press release claiming the stimulus would create 133,000 jobs but since this massive spending experiment became law, Ohio has lost over 94,000 jobs. To add further pain the City of Toledo has now been declared the poverty capital of the country. As the Toledo Blade reports: The concentration of poor people living in Toledo’s poorest neighborhoods grew by more than 15 percent in the past decade, giving the metropolitan area the unenviable distinction of No. 1 among American’s largest metro areas. More than 46,000 people…
Obama & National Dems Give Cold Shoulder To Former State Party Chairman In Arizona Senate Race, Hope To Recruit G.W. Bush Appointee Instead…
“Believe They Have A Shot In Arizona… But Only If They Get The Right Candidate” Barely had former two-time Arizona Democrat Party Chairman Don Bivens announced his candidacy for the United States Senate, when his party’s professional political class in Washington – including no less than President Barack Obama himself – dismissed him off-hand. On October 6th, barely a week after Bivens’ announcement, Politico lifted the curtain on the backroom deal-making taking place among Washington Democrats, and reported that President Obama had personally phoned former U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona, who was appointed to that office by President George W. Bush, urging him to run for the U.S. Senate in Arizona. And now, just a few weeks later, National Journal’s Reid Wilson reports today that “Democrats believe they have a shot in Arizona, too, but only if they get the right candidate.” In other words, in a state where they…
As Manchin Holds “Stimulus” Presser With Top Obama Official, West Virginians Reminded His Words Don’t Match His Deeds
Dependably Supports Obama Spending Proposals Despite Claiming Concern “About The Level Of Spending That President Obama Has Proposed” As Democrat U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) prepares to hold a press conference at 1:30PM today with Obama Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood to tout President Obama’s latest spending proposal, a $50 billion “infrastructure” stimulus, West Virginians are reminded that – despite claiming he’s concerned “about the level of spending that President Obama has proposed” – Manchin is three-for-three in voting for Obama’s “stimulus” spending proposals. As Manchin and his friends in the Obama Administration once again tout taxpayer-funded “shovel-ready” “infrastructure” projects, the Washington Post reports today that federal watchdog Gregory H. Freidman – who first raised concerns over the ongoing Solyndra scandal – is “critical of the administration for touting the existence of ‘shovel ready’ projects [in the original $825 billion ‘stimulus’] that needed federal funding in order to be quickly completed.” …
After Claiming Their First $825 Billion Stimulus Would Focus On Infrastructure, Tester & Obama Want A Do-Over
In 2009, U.S. Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) told Montanans that he would be supporting Barack Obama’s $825 billion stimulus, because it was a “jobs” bill that would help repair America’s aging roads and bridges – saying “I think, absolutely, it’s going to create jobs and build the infrastructure.” Instead, after the bill passed the House of Representatives it was revealed that, in fact, only 5 percent of the so-called “stimulus” was spent on infrastructure. A few months later, it was revealed that billions of dollars were given to tax cheats and millions of dollars were spent in fictitious congressional districts, including $4.768 million in Montana’s non-existent “2nd Congressional District.” Meanwhile, the country has lost 1.5 million jobs since Tester helped his Washington party bosses ram President Obama’s “stimulus” into law. But now that it’s been widely accepted that their first stimulus never lived up to their promises, Tester and Obama…
Nevadan Job Creators To Shelley Berkley: Democrats’ Burdensome Regulations Are Killing Jobs In The Silver State
Will Berkley Listen To These Nevada Job Creators Or Continue To Ignore Them? Yesterday, small business owners from Henderson, Las Vegas and Reno came to Washington, D.C. to tell President Barack Obama, Senator Harry Reid and Congresswoman Shelley Berkley that their burdensome regulations are killing jobs. Additionally, former Democrat Senator Blanche Lincoln who is currently the Chairwoman of the Small Business for Sensible Regulations and Dan Danner, President of the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) penned a letter to President Obama where they reminded him that small business owners are the engine of our great economy and requested that his Administration halt any new regulations until small businesses are given a fair opportunity to offer their opinion on any new rules. As the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports: Several Nevada business owners in Washington on Tuesday joined a campaign by the small business lobby calling on President Barack…
After First $825 Billion Stimulus Failed To Live Up To Promises On Infrastructure & Jobs, Does Liberal Tammy Baldwin Want To Repeat The Same Mistake?
In 2009, liberal Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) told Wisconsinites that she would support President Barack Obama’s $825 billion stimulus because it was a “jobs” bill that would help repair America’s aging roads and bridges. But after Baldwin helped ram the bill through the House of Representatives, it was revealed that, in fact, only 5 percent of the so-called “stimulus” was spent on infrastructure. A few months later, it was revealed that billions of dollars were given to tax cheats and millions of dollars were spent in fictitious congressional districts, like a $1.24 million project in Wisconsin’s non-existent “55th Congressional District.” Despite the fact that it’s been widely accepted that the first stimulus was a boondoggle that never lived up to Baldwin and Obama’s promises, it appears the liberal Congresswoman wants Washington to repeat the same expensive mistake, touting her familiar rhetoric that more government spending in the name of infrastructure…
After First $825 Billion Stimulus Failed To Live Up To Promises On Infrastructure, McCaskill & Obama Want To Make Same Mistake Again
In 2009, liberal United States Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) told Missourians that she would be supporting President Barack Obama’s $825 billion stimulus, because it was a “jobs” bill that would help repair America’s aging roads and bridges. After the bill passed the House of Representatives, it was revealed that, in fact, only 5 percent of the so-called “stimulus” was spent on infrastructure. A few months later, it was revealed that billions of dollars were given to tax cheats and millions of dollars were spent in fictitious congressional districts, like a $617,848 project in Missouri’s non-existent “14th Congressional District.” Despite the fact that it’s been widely accepted that the first stimulus was a boondoggle that never lived up to McCaskill and Obama’s promises, McCaskill insists it was “wildly successful,” and is preparing to repeat the same expensive mistake as Democrats in the Senate will be voting on a $50 billion “infrastructure”…
After Claiming Their First $825 Billion Stimulus Would Be Spent On Infrastructure, Manchin & Obama Want A Mulligan
In 2008, then-Governor Joe Manchin told West Virginians that he would be supporting Barack Obama’s $825 billion stimulus, because it was a “jobs” bill that would help repair America’s aging roads and bridges – even going so far as to say his friend, then-President-elect Obama was “not just throwing money at this [recession]. He wants to make sure there are investments and value.” But after the bill passed the House of Representatives, it was revealed that, in fact, only 5 percent of the so-called “stimulus” was spent on infrastructure. A few months later, it was revealed that billions of dollars were given to tax cheats and millions of dollars were spent in fictitious congressional districts like a $1,000,000 project in West Virginia’s non-existent “54th Congressional District.” Now that it’s been widely accepted that the first stimulus was a boondoggle that never lived up to Obama and Manchin’s promises, Manchin and…
After Claiming Their First $825 Billion Stimulus Would Be Spent On Infrastructure, Casey & Obama Want A Mulligan
In 2009, liberal U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) told Pennsylvanians that he would be supporting Barack Obama’s $825 billion stimulus, because it was a “jobs” bill that would help repair America’s aging roads and bridges – even going so far as to say “[stimulus] funds will help rehabilitate existing infrastructure, replace equipment and create jobs.” But after the bill passed the House of Representatives, it was revealed that, in fact, only 5 percent of the so-called “stimulus” was spent on infrastructure. A few months later, it was revealed that billions of dollars were given to tax cheats and millions of dollars were spent in fictitious congressional districts like a $1.96 million project in Pennsylvania’s non-existent “96th Congressional District.” Now that it’s been widely accepted that the first stimulus was a boondoggle that never lived up to Obama and Casey’s promises, the political fundraising duo want a do-over as Democrats in…
After Claiming The First $825 Billion Stimulus Would Be Spent On Infrastructure Projects, Stabenow Wants A Mulligan
In 2009, liberal United States Senator Debbie Stabenow told Michiganders that she would be supporting Barack Obama’s $825 billion stimulus, because it was a “jobs” bill that would help repair America’s aging roads and bridges. After the bill passed the House of Representatives it was revealed that only 5 percent of the so-called stimulus was spent on infrastructure. It was then revealed that billions of dollars were given to tax cheats and millions of dollars were spent in fictitious congressional districts like a $156,000 project in Michigan’s 83rd Congressional District. Now that it’s been widely accepted that the first $825 billion stimulus was a boondoggle that never ‘saved or created’ 100,000 Michigan jobs, Debbie Stabenow now wants a do-over as Democrats in the Senate will be voting on a $50 billion infrastructure stimulus later this week. As The Hill reports: President Obama’s proposal to create a national infrastructure bank…
