Wow. Minneapolis residents can complete a farce of a BBU (Broadband University) course and receive a free Laptop or IPOD touch under their planned use for the billions in stimulus money to expand broadband in the United States.
Boy, sounds like some stimulus to me. Do you get a government grant for the course? (sarcasm) Glad to see all of our tax dollars going to waste on this stupid plan. Thanks Obama.

Obama wants to appoint a top lawyer from SEIU to the NLRB (National Labor Relations Board). Follow the previous link to see what the board oversees. This guy is radical and believe in things like, all jobs should be unionized and that workers should be required to use unions as their representation. This removes all negotiation between worker and employer and uses the union as the only go between. Currently John McCain is blocking the appointment. How long they can hold out, I’m not sure. See the article HERE about the blocking of this appointment.
Here is a small clip I dug up on youtube to illustrate what Craig Becker is about. It is just another step towards socialism and the government controlling labor and wages in the United States. If he is allowed to keep putting cronies in to positions like this we will slowly lose our country.
Acorn founder Wade Rathke has been known to call Craig Becker a “secret weapon”. Read HERE. Wonderful. Where is Obama digging these people up from?
I urge everyone to follow the link to the right and write to their Representatives and keep people like this out of power.

This article from Newsweek is hypocrisyat it’s best. I love how all the “fringe” media is calling Fox irrelevant, commentary broadcasting. Funny, I can’t find one article in Newsweek or on their site that isn’t commentary. In fact I believe it seemed every other week their magazine had Obama on the cover, before the election. They called him the “one” and every other skewed vision of him you could.
In fact they whole election, including they way they portrayed Palin and the Republican campaign, was so skewed it was sickening. If you want a good idea of exactly how ridiculous it was for the media fawning over Obama, I suggest watching the video “How Obama Got Elected”. I ordered it and watched it. It will definitely open your eyes to what went on during the election. Hundreds of clips of the MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC and other media coverage of the election.
The video also shows how uninformed the Obama voters were before the election and how their ideas of what the candidates said were changed by the left leaning media coverage. Very good video and is really worth the time to watch.
CLICK HERE to see the silly article from Newsweek. Let’s just say it’s the pot calling the kettle black.

Wow that’s funny. Obama thinks it’s offensive to us that exec’s make big money. Hmmm. This policy is written by people that used to be on the boards of big banks or ex-CEO’s of the banks and institutions that he’s talking about. What about excessive pay for the leaders of SEIU, ACORN and the APOLLO corp? It’s also nice that they still refuse to tell us what banks got the bailout money and where it all went. So much for transparency. Thanks for keeping all your campain promises. Tim “the tax cheat” Geithner was president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Let’s see…. $398,000 a year salary. The guy didn’t even pay his taxes
Now Kenneth Feinberg the “pay czar” wants to extend the limits on pay to all public traded companies that recieve even a nickel of money from the government. Wonderful. Earlier this year Barney Frank wanted this extended also to regular employees of the companies also. Oh wonderful. Once they do this they will just extend what they consider “government funds”. Tax breaks, tax refunds, tax credits, subsides. Whatever they define it as they will use as an excuse to limit pay of everyone to “redistribute” the pay to those they see fit. Great insentive for the people to work harder.

Wow, great deal, only $900 billion. That is pocket change when your currency isn’t worth anything. Just keep printing that should pay for everything. What idiots. Nothing the government starts ever costs what the estimate says it does. Medicare, medicaid, SS all have cost tens of times what the real costs were estimated to be. This will be no different.
