Something 's 'A-Fowl:' Chickuns, Turkeys and Pigeons!


Fed about to push on a string?

The economy is growing fast enough to assure me it will continue to slow. (See 1 below.)

--- 
Meanwhile Liberals attack 'chickuns' in order to avoid talking 'turkey ' about the dire straits Obama's policies have gotten us into as economic debt' pigeons' come home to roost. What dumb clucks they think we are.

And as for those Liberals and Progressives who believe behaviour is interchangeable with traditional descriptions, and for those PC'ers who believe most everything is relative - that there is no black and white and all traditional values are subject to challenge -  I submit, in quest of fairness, objectivity and relativism (words they should love):

Rape should now be described as non consensual sex and

Murder as non consensual death

Theft as the unexplained disappearance of one possessions

Crime as random acts of those opportunistically limited.

You get the point?

By softening  the harshness of societal judgement we can continue down that Liberal roadway Obama and government built while singing :  "when all else fails, lower your standards."

Was it not Shakespeare who wrote about that Dane who said?  - something is 'a-fowl.'

Today Obama signed a bill funding a program which provides Israel with important technology to defend itself against incoming rockets sent by Hamas and other radicals. The bill was signed on the eve of Romney's visit to renew his friendship with Netanyahu who worked at Bain when Romney was there.

Obama and his supporters claim he has done more to protect Israel's back  than any president has some credibility but it reminds me of a politician who feeds and trains one's ring opponent and then provides bigger gloves to his, so called, friend.

On any give day, Israelis never know with Obama where they stand and what policies he might enact that will threaten their survival.  All they have to do is look at how he responded in Libya, what he has failed to do in Syria, his kiss up with the Turkish Prime Minister and finally his inept sanctions which may be causing Iraqi citizens to be pinched but has done nothing to prevent Iran's persistent develop of nuclear weapons.

I cannot forget Obama's aside to Medvedev that he should tell Putin to give him some breathing room until after he is re-elected and the more recent leaking of critical national  secrets regarding simply to enhance Obama's image for re-election purposes.

Obama's call for Israel to negotiate returning to 1967 borders, his bumbling efforts to appease Palestinians by bringing pressure to bear on Israel, in the mistaken belief it would result in a two state solution, his openly blatant treatment of Netanyahu, and finally, his many proclamations and immediate reversals cannot be ignored. They are the actions of a bumbler at the very least and a two faced politician at the very worst.  

I continue to believe the latter and would not trust him any further than the bus he keeps parked at the White House for former friends who have tire marks on their bodies as a result of being thrown under it when it suits his political purposes.

Obama is the most disingenuous liar to occupy the office in recent times. I believe he will stop at nothing to get re-elected.  This is why I believe Obama will be defeated soundly, not because Romney is the best at articulation, but because of the manure Obama has spread with his own mouth.

I hope that is straight forward enough for you to grasp the level of my feelings. (See 2 below.)

1)Economist Morici: Not Much More the Fed Can Do

By Nancy Stanley





While the Federal Reserve is close to announcing additional measures to stimulate the economy, there is little left that the central bank can do to constrain the threat of another recession, according to Peter Morici, professor at the Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland and former chief economist at the U.S. International Trade Commission.

The Fed has already done all the actions that might make a difference, and short-term interest rates, including the overnight bank-borrowing rate and the one-month and one-year Treasury bills, are already close to 0 percent.

Moreover, the yields on 30-year Treasurys and mortgage rates are near record lows, so any additional Fed measures would not be effective, he wrote on his website.

Yet, the economy is growing at less than 2 percent, and jobs creation is not even keeping up with the population growth.
The continuing European debt crisis, resulting in a weaker euro, and the slowdown in China, resulting in a weaker Yuan, suggest that exporting and importing businesses in the United States will be challenged by a difficult environment for the rest of the year, Morici said.

And trade deficits on consumer goods and oil with china, as a result of government inaction, negatively affects demand for U.S. products.

“Simply, Americans—even those with secure jobs—are hunkering down for a long siege and disgusted and frightened by corporate leaders and bankers who take outsized salaries while they mine the nation’s assets to invest abroad and gamble with government-insured money,” he wrote. “All the while, they place the prosperity of ordinary Americans at grave risk to serve their avarice.”

The Federal Open Market Committee is scheduled to meet next Tuesday and Wednesday.

Even if the Fed announces that it plans to keep the short-term interest rates near 0 percent for the next few years, it would have little impact on investors, as few expect the Fed to increase rates any time soon.

“Central bank policy can help dampen inflation when the economy overheats and lift borrowing and home sales a bit when it falters, but it can’t instigate faster growth when the president and Congress fail to address structural problems,” he wrote.

“Lacking better policies from the Oval Office, there is little the Federal Reserve can do,” Morici said.

Most Wall Street investment experts believe that more stimulus from the Fed is coming, according to a recent CNNMoney survey.
Of the 30 experts polled, two-thirds said the Fed’s extension of its Operation Twist policy at the FOMC meeting in June was warranted, and the same percentage believed the Fed will reconsider a third round of quantitative easing (QE3).

At the beginning of the year, experts wanted the Fed to start QE3 as a “last resort,” as the job market was improving and the manufacturing sector was strengthening, CNNMoney reported.

“Extending Operation Twist was a less overt move for the Fed to keep interest rates low, but I think economic conditions are moving in a direction that it could become necessary for the Fed to pump money into the system in a more obvious way through QE3,” Tom Schrader, managing director at Stifel Nicolaus & Co. Inc., told CNNMoney.

Could 2012 be America's Last Presidential Election?
By Michael Savage
I've asked this question to a number of people and most of them respond as if I were crazy. They tell me that this is America, land of the free, and that there will always be elections. I tell them that we are no longer the land of the free and that if Obama gets

Re-elected in 2012 that this just may be America'slast election.

In the past three years, the Obama administration has been very carefully crafting the nation for a political take over by his Marxist regime and this isn't just my opinion.
Popular radio talk show host (of the Savage Nation on the Talk Radio Network), Michael Savage, is the son of Russian immigrants and is very familiar with Soviet and European history. Savage warned his listeners this week saying, "I have to tell you that if this man, God forbid, is the next president of the United States, we're going to be living in something along the lines of - people say - Europe. I don't believe it's going to be like Europe - I think it will be closer to Chavez's South American dictatorship.
"This is the most corrupt, incompetent, dangerous tyrannical administration in American history. It's not politics as usual. It's not just Democrats versus Republicans. Obama has a long history of being at odds with American values and with America itself and the core principles of this country. They don't want government-sponsored opinions. They only want government-sponsored 'Pravda.' That's exactly what the government-media complex tells you on a daily basis - nothing but the government-media complex party line. Pay attention! Your freedom may be at stake!
Former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum told a small group of people in an Iowa coffee house that "Barack Obama is not incompetent, ladies and gentleman. He knows exactly what he's doing and why he's doing it. He sees America differently than you see America."

[Obama] has gone out of his way to divide this country in a way I haven't seen since the Great Depression when Franklin Roosevelt went around to divide his country. That's his hero. What makes America great [in Obama's mind] is that the government takes money from somebody and gives it to somebody else. No, that's what makes America, France.
"With his control over the Executive and Judicial branches of the government, the stage is set for a complete takeover of the government. Think about it! Since taking office, instead of helping the economy, Obama has purposely escalated the economic crisis by plunging the country into unprecedented debt. He has a number of programs that are designed to go into effect in January 2013, just in time for his second term of office. The economic burden and increased taxes on everyone will be enough to cause the final economic collapse of the country. As soon as that happens, Obama declares Martial Law and assumes dictatorial control of the nation.
The Department of Justice has already been subverting federal laws to strip us of a number of freedoms. The Supreme Court and many of the other federal courts have been seeded with socialistic liberal judges that will rule in Obama's favor on virtually anything, thus ending constitutional rule and law.
He's already changing the face of America's military. Allowing homosexuals to openly serve along with changing the retirement program is causing many conservative military leaders to resign commissions and leave the military. Some Pentagon officials are also noting that an increase in the enlistment of radical Muslims into the US military where they get all the training they need on weapons and defense systems. We have no idea how many of them there are in the armed forces or in what positions they may hold.
Obama has been wielding executive powers this past year as if he were already a dictator. When Congress is not doing his bidding, he simply bypasses them and uses an executive order to accomplish it anyway. This has set the stage for his disbandment of Congress. He would not be the first world leader to take control of a nation and disband the legislative branch of government.
He has been effectively using the media to anesthetize the public to the dangers he poses. Like a patient being prepped for surgery, people are numb to the changes and won't have a clue what took place until they wake up in recovery and realize that free America has been removed and replaced with a regime that may parallel those of Stalin, Lenin, Mussolini, Hitler, Chavez and Castro.
For the sake of our children and grandchildren, I earnestly pray that we are spared from what seems a certain future and that Obama is overwhelmingly defeated in 2012. Otherwise, heaven help us.

About 2016: Obama’s America

2016 Obama's America takes audiences on a gripping visual journey into the heart of the world’s most powerful office to reveal the struggle of whether one man's past will redefine America over the next four years. The film examines the question, "If Obama wins a second term, where will we be in 2016?"
Across the globe and in America, people in 2008 hungered for a leader who would unite and lift us from economic turmoil and war. True to America’s ideals, they invested their hope in a new kind of president, Barack Obama. What they didn't know is that Obama is a man with a past, and in powerful ways that past defines him--who he is, how he thinks, and where he intends to take America and the world.
Immersed in exotic locales across four continents, best selling author Dinesh D’Souza races against time to find answers to Obama’s past and reveal where America will be in 2016. During this journey he discovers how Hope and Change became radically misunderstood, and identifies new flashpoints for hot wars in mankind’s greatest struggle. The journey moves quickly over the arc of the old colonial empires, into America’s empire of liberty, and we see the unfolding realignment of nations and the shape of the global future.
Emotionally engaging, 2016 Obama’s America will make you confounded and cheer as you discover the mysteries and answers to your greatest aspirations and worst fears.
Love him or hate him, you don’t know him.
