IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT

I normally like to keep the swearing out of this blog (a lot of you know what a challenge that is for me!) but the image and message going around the web below (and thanks to Robert Z. for hipping me to it) is too good not to share:

Credit goes to my pal Art Metrano in Miami, an amazing tough sensitive dude himself who survived paralysis, a no b.s. human being.

Hey Pilgrim,
Now that I got Bin Laden, watch me get the CIA agents that interigated KSM and others. In Obama's America, no good deed goes unpunished.

God Bless every country except America!!!!

It's wonderful & entertaining to watch the radically anti-American republican-rightwing-teaparty-fascist-corporatist segment of the population try to digest Obama's take-down of bin Laden.

Obama vs Reagan by the numbers
from Forbes Mag.

"As a result, while the Reagan recovery averaged 7.1% economic growth over the first seven quarters, the Obama recovery has produced less than half that at 2.8%, with the last quarter at a dismal 1.8%. After seven quarters of the Reagan recovery, unemployment had fallen 3.3 percentage points from its peak to 7.5%, with only 18% unemployed long-term for 27 weeks or more. After seven quarters of the Obama recovery, unemployment has fallen only 1.3 percentage points from its peak, with a postwar record 45% long-term unemployed"

But many bad deeds go unpunished, such as the venomous, double standard dung regurgiated by the tea-pocrits.

of course, Jim left this off the end of his quote:

"The two economies are not exactly comparable, of course. Manufacturing jobs, to which workers can be quickly summoned back, make up a much smaller percentage of the total jobs today. Inflation fell sharply in and after the ’81–’82 recession, while it is increasing today. Housing prices had not suffered nearly the hit they have taken in recent years, adversely influencing people’s perception of their ability to spend money. The microprocessor revolution was much less advanced then than now, when firms contemplating expansion are more likely to look to investing in new technology than in new employees (although the new technology will create more jobs in the long run)."

He always takes advantage of the time difference to spew his distortions and rightwing lies and hatred, but I intend to continue deleting him for the foreseeable future because as I've explained before his parroted rightwing talking points of the day permeate the media and internet quite enough as it is, but I'll leave these since they were responded to and the responses would make no sense without them. However, may I point out that our president always ends his speeches and press briefings with "God bless America" and is quintessentially "American" with his all-American family background of Kansas and WWII warriors etc. as well as the immigrant presence that has continued to renew the "American" people through his father and stepfather's lineage giving us the most representatively ethnically mixed presidency in our history. God bless America indeed, and may justice come to all those faux=patriots who obviously hate our country as much as they do our president because they cannot abide a true electoral democracy that allows anyone but those of their ideological bent to gain or maintain power (and yes I know that our "true democracy" has been greatly compromised by the influence of the corporate power that was allowed to grow and influence our democracy to an extent not seen since before The Great Depression ever since Reagan's pro-corporate, pro-wealthy, anti=working folks regime).
