After months with its future in doubt, a key part of Food Stamp President Obama's Obamacare health care overhaul targeting long-term care for the elderly and infirm is headed to the rubbish after administration officials sheepishly admitted they could not certify and never could certify, that the program would ever pay for itself. Nope not now, not ever.... we did the math.

That part or aspect of the GWOT known as the WAR FOR OWG-NWO has resulted in REGIONAL "UNIONS" BEING ESTABLISHED OR PROPOSED, but the part or aspect known as WAR FOR OWG = GLOBAL FREE MARKETS/MARKETPLACE IS STILL IN PROGRESS.
At best STALLED, at worse NOT EVEN BEGUN.
E.G. HOW DO THE TEAMSTERS. RAILROAD, + MARITIME LABOR UNIONS [+ AFL-CIO, etc.] FEEL ABOUT HAVING NO CHOICE BUT TO ACCEPT BEING RETRAINED TO BECOME AIRCRAFT + SPACE PILOTS???
Aircraft + Space Education-Operations-Repair Schools are very $$$ expensive.

D *** NG IT, FTLG HE'S A TEAMSTER FOR PETE'S SAKE!
It had become one of President Obama's signature routines in the White House, a habit he mentioned in dozens of meetings and hundreds of speeches: Every night just before bed, he read 10 letters pulled from the 20,000 that Americans sent to him each day. The notes reminded him of why he wanted to be president, he liked to say.
He said his nightly reading in the White House sometimes made him pine for his days as a community organizer back in the 1980s, when he was making $10,000 a year and working on the South Side of Chicago. He had just graduated from college, and spent his days driving around to the city's housing projects to speak with residents about their lives. He became familiar with many of the same issues that would flood his mail 25 years later: housing calamities, chronic unemployment and struggling schools. Individual stories, things you can help with, one at a time.
Now he was the most powerful politician of all -- but fixing problems seemed more difficult and satisfaction more elusive. He had yet to make progress on key campaign promises to reform education and immigration. A naive socialist dreamer, co-opted by Harry and Nancy?
Meanwhile, the letters kept coming. The president said he wondered whether a community organizer might have an easier time responding to them. So... pass them off to a Cabinet Secretary!
"The people were right there in front of me, and I could say, 'Let's go to the alderman's office,' or, 'Let me be an advocate in some fashion,' " he told me. "And here, just because of the nature of the office and the scope of the issues, you are removed in ways that are frustrating. [shakes head] In America, some people get to be anything they want. This guy got promoted well over his level of incompetence.

As a community organizer he wasn't the cause of the problems these people were writing about, he could find the source and agitate. He still thinks blaming things on others will fix things he's responsible for.

No, a dedicated communist, raised from birth to be a revolutionary. If anything, Harry and Nancy have been co-opted by him.

The militia at Lexington and Concord and the over mountain men at King's Mountain had also been raised to be revolutionaries, they just didn't know it until the crisis came. Those guys were able to recite long portions of the King James Bible, but not the works of Saul Alinsky. Apples don't fall far from the tree that produced them.

"community organizer" has always been a divisive position, because it plays on grievances, real or imaginary. Assume the victim status, even if you went to the best schools, had supporters in high places, never produced any jobs on your own.

Rookie pitcher supposed phenom, brought in to be the closer in the big game, and gave up 6 runs before even getting the ball over the plate.

"he is destined to be a divisive partisan"
Destined? What the hell do you think he is now?

Did he suck? How do you measure success or failure at something fundamentally unproductive? It's like saying someone sucks at, I don't know, loitering or watching TV. Is there a way to do those things that sucks more than others?

"A dedicated Communist, raised from birth to be a revolutionary ..." > Intehwesting, but then IMO the question becomes did his former Muslim faith NOT compromise his Commie upbringing???

"Every night just before bed, he reads 10 letters carefully selected by Valerie Jarret to reinforce his imagined sense of competency pulled from the 20,000 that Americans sent to him each day."

Yes to all of the above Joe, and let us not forget his most recent initiative to place "advisors" in Africa. He's slowly returning to his ....Communist Dilusions of my Father" roots. Residence for him abroad looms on the horizon.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
