WH: We’re not collecting names, we’re storing your e-mail addresses

Robert Gibbs assured Jake Tapper that the new White House initiative to get people to snitch on their neighbors for dissenting on ObamaCare had nothing to do with collecting names.  Oh, no — that would not be Hope and Change!  Instead, it has everything to do with collecting our e-mails

Gibbs’ answer is disingenuous.  The better question is why the White House created its snitch line in the first place.

Harry Reid: Conservative talk radio hosts are also astroturfers

Help me figure this out. The whole point of “astroturfing” is to generate fake grassroots activity, right? That’s where the name comes from: Astroturf is a type of synthetic grass. Well, how is it “fake” if actual grassroots conservatives hear Rush Limbaugh say “you should go to your local townhall meeting on health care” and decide to go? They’re not being paid or fed or bused in or given pre-made signs. There’s nothing organized about it, or at least no more so than “objective” journalists recycling Democratic talking points about mobs by the dozen. Seriously, am I missing something here or have we now reached the point where conservative opinion is per se illegitimate and tantamount to a political dirty trick?

Democrats: You’re Stupid

Bold new Obama strategy on economy: Blame Bush

Let’s look at the facts, shall we?

The unemployment rate went from 5.2% in January 2005 to 7.2% in December 2008. Overall, the average in that time was 5.03% President Obama signed the stimulus package in February of 2009 when the unemployment rate was still at 7.6% He promised the spending would keep the rate from going above 8%. It is now 9.5%, with no signs that it will improve in the near future. The state numbers are even worse.

2.6 million people lost their jobs in 2008. 2 million more have lost jobs since Jan 09.

Obama has repeatedly blamed the high deficits on the Bush administration, but his policies will only increase the nation’s debt.

Average GDP from Jan 05 to Dec 08 was 1.68% In the first quarter of Jan 09, it’s -5.5. There has been some moderate growth from the last quarter of Dec 08, but still far below the level warranting the level of hyperbole used by Ms. Chadderdon.

The Obama administration says we have to ’spend money to keep from going bankrupt.’ They’re basing their faith in spending on the Keynsian multiplier effect, but even Keynes himself warned against combining recovery with economic reform

Full text of Keynes letter here. Obama’s two signature proposals are cap-and-trade and healthcare reform. Neither will help the economy, and in fact, they may actually hurt it.

What’s A Yellow Light Mean? Slow Down

Video: Conyers scoffs at doing his job

Of course, the answer to that is — what’s the freaking rush? Why not take two days and a couple of lawyers from your staff to figure out what’s in the bill before you pass it into law, Rep. Conyers? Representative democracy rests on having the people send Congressmen and Senators to Washington DC to vote on legislation so that we don’t have to hold constant national referendums on issues. If the elected representatives don’t bother to read the legislation, then we have surrendered representative democracy and adopted an autocracy of Capitol Hill staffers and lobbyists.

It may be difficult to find anyone as clueless as John Conyers in this clip.

Spinning The Stimulus … Badly

Joltin’ Joe whiffs on his own curveball

After watching their stimulus package fail to stimulate and an increasing number of Americans wondering whether President Barack Obama has the first clue on economics, Vice President Joe Biden steps back into the fray to rescue his partner.  In a New York Times op-ed, Biden argues that voters have misunderstood Porkulus.  It wasn’t intended to deliver a big “jolt” to the economy, Biden says — apparently forgetting what he himself said last month

Obama on Edge as Magic Fades; DeMint Hits Nerve with "Waterloo"
This president has never been criticized, and now that he's meeting bipartisan opposition on his health care power grab, he's on the edge of a meltdown.

Government bureaucrats will decide if you're worth treating, or just old and should die.

Hrebic: Closer to Losing Your Right to Health Care

Morris:  Obama’s Dwindling Power
 
"When Obama says 'attacks' on health care reform, he means bringing up facts after studying his deeply flawed plan. He's rushing it at light speed when he admits he hasn't even read it!"

Crowd Laughs at Rep. Carnahan (D-MO) on "Inefficiencies" Paying for Health Care
He didn't get the memo correcting Obama's same gaffe. These Democrats are being laughed at.
