An Outspoken 'John Galt'

There's a lot of people who are saying the same thing; just most of 'em don't come right out and say it so clearly.

The Secret Service left here, they were in a good mood and laughing," Looman said. "I got the feeling they thought it was kind of ridiculous, and a waste of their time."

So Bill Looman is keeping the signs up, and the photos up -- stirring up a lot of debate.

"I just spent 10 years in the Marine Corps protecting the rights of people... the First Amendment, and the Second Amendment and the [rest of the] Bill of Rights," he said. "Lord knows they're calling me at 2 in the morning, all night long, and voicing their opinion. And I respect their right to do that. I'm getting a reaction, a lot of it's negative, now. But a lot of people are waking up."

Obama Now Identifies With, and Strongly Supports, the Occupy Wall Street Protests.

Because Obama knows that's his only ticket remaining to re-election. He's miserably failed at all of his signature programs (even ObamaCare is unraveling, bit by unconstitutional, unworkable bit); his economic programs won't repair this broken economy, because with his far-Left machinations and Marxisms he's alienated the business people who employ Americans. "Who is John Galt?" you ask? Everyone who makes a difference; difference makers who decide who gets hired and who gets laid off. We are all now John Galt. And we are not relenting until this anti-American clown is completely out of power.

From Business Insider...

The White House continued its embrace of the Occupy Wall Street protests on Sunday, using the strongest terms yet to identify President Barack Obama with the growing movement.

In a call previewing Obama's upcoming bus tour through North Carolina and Virginia, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Obama "will continue to acknowledge the frustration that he himself shares," about Washington's laggard response to the financial crisis.

Earnest added that while on the trip, Obama will make it clear that he is fighting to make certain that the "interests of 99 percent of Americans are well represented" — the first time the White House has used the term to differentiate the vast majority of Americans from the wealthy.

Obama, who has been branded a "class warrior" by Republicans unhappy with his plans to increase taxes on the rich to pay for his jobs and deficit plans, has embraced the term.

Jeff G posts of "The Great Unraveling":

It’s here, people. Obama’s plan is to marshal this “People’s uprising” into a political attack on the engine of capitalism, using the Wall Street he’s in bed with as an attack on the capitalist system, and the “bankers” and traders as the scapegoats.

The outlines of the plan have long been clear, but sadly, those who bothered to look and to express alarm early on were dismissed as fringe cranks and unhelpful “purists” whose outlandish Visigothery would drive away “moderates” and “independents” (who, incidentally, flocked to the GOP in the wake of the TEA Party movement, giving us a 2010 electoral landslide. But we’re to bracket that. Our betters know what’s best, regardless of how many times they prove themselves astoundingly out of touch with the mood of their own base). And now the next stage is beginning: an assault on the “fat cats” and the money men, launched from different angles, with the Occupy Wall Street crowds providing the civil unrest, the social tension, and the optics, making the more outlandish demands (and including the most repugnant fellow-travelers), while Obama serves as the voice of reason and moderation, fashioning his campaign around a populist soft-socialism in which the banks and bankers and money men are required to pay “their fair share” and the “wealth disparity” is addressed — even as the evil Republicans try to “protect the rich.”

Go read the rest of that essay; it's well worth your time.

The funny thing about BHO's embracing the dirty socialists of the various 'Occupy' movements?

He IS the 1% they hate; he's been in bed with Wall Street since his campaign began. Don't let him lie to you, kids; this jug-eared pin-headed SCOAMF is NOT your friend, no matter how much he pretends to be.

New York Times' editor 'Wesley Mouch': "The Numbers Are Grim"

Of course the numbers are grim, 'Wesley'. Barack Hussein Obama, redistributionist extraordinaire, dirty socialist, economy-destroyer and likely follower of Cloward-Piven stratagems, is still in Office.

More troubling in the latest figures, consumer spending — the largest component of the economy — was especially slow. Stagnant wages and higher prices for gas and food are squeezing family budgets, while falling home equity hurts consumer confidence. That suggests more bad news to come.

When consumers are constrained, so is hiring, because without customers, employers are hard pressed to retain workers or make new hires. A recent Labor Department report showed a greater-than-expected rise in the number of people claiming jobless benefits even as private-sector economic forecasts are being revised downward — both very bad omens for continued job growth.

What does 'Wesley Mouch' recommend? Why, more taxes and govern spending, of course!

The White House has offered sounder ideas, including job retraining, plans to boost educational achievement and tax increases to help cover needed spending. But its economic team is mainly focused on negotiations to raise the debt limit, presumably parrying Republican demands for deep spending cuts that could weaken the economy further while still reaching an agreement on the necessary increase.

The grim numbers tell an unavoidable truth: The economy is not growing nearly fast enough to dent unemployment. Unfortunately, no one in Washington is pushing policies to promote stronger growth now.

Yes there is. Why, just this weekend Sarah Palin started her bus tour, leaving Washington for a cross-country campaign. If that's not 'pushing policies to promote strong growth', then what is?

Kicking Barry out of Office in 2012 is the most significant economic stimulus plan that's currently on the table.

Who is John Galt ?
