Great post from Nightcrawler

Hmmm, what is more important for a minister, being Christian or being Black?
Nightcrawler does a nice job of spelling out why you can't serve two masters.

You should browse some of my archives. If you're interested, I'll point you to some of my most scholarly works.; March 23, 2007 12:30 AM

UPDATED September 2010:
- The unemployment rate is still 9.6%.
- By now, in order for the stimulus to be considered a success, the number of Americans who should have been employed ranges from 141,077,000 to 143,477,000
- The number of Americans employed is 139,250,000.
EPIC FAIL

May 2010:
The employment number stands at 138,905,000 as of March 2010. That means the Stimulus was a complete an utter failure. In one year Obama's policies have led to a net DROP in employment.
Meanwhile, this ass is at the White House Press Corps dinner yucking it up, using jokes written for him by the Dialy Show writers.
How's that Keynesian economics workin' for ya', Giggles?

POSTED 6 MAY 2009:
Beclowning the Masses -- The Obama stimulus is not getting into the economy as fast as Giggles the TROTUS had hoped.
However, the natural business cycle is ending its down cycle and we will see more recovery over the next few months.
As we recover, pay attention to the top left corner of this blog under "THE OBAMA "AMATEUR HOUR" AGENDA". Let's see if we reach the 143.9 million employed that the CBO signifies as success for the "stimulus."

- Spent $1.5T in the first 60 days on the job:
-- $787B spent on a stimulus to create jobs; CBO says that in order to call it a success, we must have 143.9 million Americans working by the end of 2009

-- Current number of Americans working
=139.8 million (as of March 2009)
= 141.0 million (April 2009)
= 140.57 million (May 2009)
= 140.19 million (June 2009)

- Leaving 50,000 troops in Iraq AFTER his "withdrawal"

- Raising the Federal Budget from $2.96T to $3.7T -- 24% increase in ONE YEAR

~~- Making military members pay for their own healthcare after a service-related injury~~ Backed down after the military called him an traitorous idiot.

- Completely remaking the healthcare system at great expense in order to cover the 8% that don't have healthcare...it's that the best way to handle this?

- Raising taxes during a recession

- Pledging to spend more on education, even though we spend more than all but two countries on this planet (hint: money isn't the problem, rookie).

- Searching for (and failing to find) nominees that can pass the "tax" question
