Out-Gumping Forrest Gump: Obama In History.

There's vintage photos showing him at Napoleon's coronation, witnessing the surrender of Japan on the USS Missouri….

Turns out Trayvon was high on drugs at the time of his death. Never mind looking like Obama, the guy would've been the preesie of the united steezie.

When you're in a hole there's only one thing to do: dig up:

German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble has urged a move towards a political union in Europe as he was given an award for his efforts to steer the continent through its debt crisis.

The crisis must be used as a chance to strengthen Europe, including through a directly elected president of the EU's top executive body, the European Commission, to give the bloc a face and more political weight, Mr Schaeuble said.

[…]

Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, who also chairs the group of the eurozone's 17 finance ministers, praised Mr Schaeuble as a true European patriot. "We need - as Wolfgang Schaeuble also puts it - not less Europe, but more," he said in an opening address in Aachen's historical city hall.

Meanwhile,

Public support for Britain remaining in the European Union has slumped to an all-time low. More than half of voters (54 per cent) think we should quit, while barely a third (34 per cent) want to stay in.

Today, Moody's, a credit-rating agency, lowered their rating for 16 Spanish banks. There has also been a mini-run on these banks and others in Europe over the last couple days. Please Google "bank run" if you do not understand. This does not bode well for the PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy Greece, Spain) especially in terms of the showdown happening now with Greek socialist politicians and the ECB.

No big deal. Greece must now hold a new election because no party could form a government, so the middle-finger waving socialists might not be there at the end of July. Also, who cares about Spain's credit problems here in Canada? The problem is with countries leaving (or getting the boot) from the Eurozone.

There is a possibility of a domino effect if/when Greece is shown the door. There have been economic "firewalls" put in place over the last year to protect others if this happens. But a run on the banks is the worst possible thing that can happen, and the firewalls do not protect against this, nor a multi-country exit. The mini-run has been mostly caused by the affluent in Europe securing their savings in the Euro in anticipation of suddenly finding your wealth in a newly-minted Drachma (or Lira) that will quickly go the way of the Zimbabwean dollar.

Still doesn't mean anything in Canada? The run on the banks as well as Moody's downgrade will likely drag US banks down with them in sympathy. Normally, such a correction is fine and a sign of a healthy market, but this time might be different. US Bank stocks are down steadily since March 26. The coming flight to safety will see cash flowing from equity markets and commodities into the last bastion of safety: The US dollar. A world-wide liquidation event will cause US Treasury yields to fall, causing a further run on the banks and equities. At this point the market is broken and it is 2008 all over again.

No problem, there is still gold. I love gold, but such a run could see any sort of risk-asset being targeted. I am shorting gold (Google) short term. It may sound totally crazy, tin-foil hat stuff, but the US dollar has been rising against the price of gold falling. Please go to stockcharts.com and search $USD and GLD. All the smart money is moving into the US dollar right now, and not even gold is safe in the short term.

Please verify all this for yourself. Then learn about shorting the market in order to protect yourself.

Disclosure: I'm short US banks, gold, silver, energy & the NASDAQ.

Return to Kenya - Barack Obama song

http://dailycaller.com/2012/05/15/rush-babes-surpasses-media-matters-on-facebook-in-under-a-week/

In less than a week, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh’s “Rush Babes for America” Facebook page has accumulated more “likes” than the liberal watchdog group Media Matters for America’s (MMFA) Facebook page has accumulated in just under four years.

MMFA is currently waging a campaign to get Rush Limbaugh off the air for his comments pertaining to contraception activist Sandra Fluke. On Monday evening, MMFA’s Facebook had 57,687 “likes,” accumulated since the organization launched its Facebook page on August 8, 2008.

Also on Monday evening, Limbaugh’s jab at those who have demonized his rhetorical treatment of women — his “Rush Babes for America” Facebook page — had topped 60,483 “likes.”

I posted a comment on CBC.Ca this PM with regards to dippers who believe that raising the retirement age in Canada equates to having been lied to by PM Harper. So SGI raises the driving age from 16 to 18, and you've been lied to? How's that?

Needless to say, it never got published.

They missed the photo of Obama at Iwo Jima. Pity.

TimR - oh, hell, does this mean I have to join Facebook?

Naomi Shaefer Riley, recently fired by the Chronicle of Higher Education after she wrote a post describing Black Studies programs as "a collection of left-wing victimization claptrap, responds with a column in the WSJ titled The Academic Mob Rules.

Excerpt:

As I wrote in the book I published shortly before the Chronicle hired me, "It is not merely that [many] departments approach African-American studies from a particular perspective—an Africa-centered one in which blacks residing in America today are still deeply hobbled by the legacy of slavery. It's that course and department descriptions often appear to be a series of axes that faculty members would like to grind."

But why take my word for it? Scholars more learned than I have been saying the same thing for decades. In 1974, Thomas Sowell wrote that from the beginnings of the discipline, "the demands for black studies differed from demands for other forms of new academic studies in that they . . . restricted the philosophical and political positions acceptable, even from black scholars in such programs."

The whole thing here.

Excerpt from Liz Peek's "How California Unions Hijacked the Golden State":

254 California companies moved some or all of their work and jobs out of state in 2011, an increase of 26 percent over the previous year and five times as many as in 2009. According to the Labor Department, California’s private employment actually shrank 1.4 percent over the past decade, while Texas added 1.15 million jobs.

Last year California – once considered the most prosperous state in the land – passed Assembly Bill 506, specifically designed to keep cities in the state from rushing into bankruptcy. Vallejo became one of the first in the nation to resort to this ultimate measure a few years ago; Stockton, a city of 290,000, teeters on the edge.

What makes California so special? A profound antipathy to private enterprise and simultaneous embrace of public employee unions. (Does this sound familiar?) In Shakedown, author Steven Malanga notes that public school teachers in the state are the highest-paid in the country, prison guards make six-figure salaries and that “state workers routinely retire at fifty-five with pensions higher than their base pay for most of their working life…”

The whole thing here.

Bull @ 10:54 p.m.:

Whatever the details of the credit-rating-go-round, the fact remains that the economic problems in Europe and elsewhere are caused by too many people being paid for not producing anything.

"Obama's literary agent says he was 'born in Kenya'. How did the mainstream media miss this?"

"Whatever you think of Breitbart.com’s punishing vetting process, it has exposed just how little work the mainstream media did in investigating candidate Obama back in 2008. Not all of Team Breitbart’s revelations have been election-deciders, but they have often been stuff that a simple Google would have uncovered. If they revealed tomorrow that he’d had his own cross-dressing-themed sitcom on primetime TV in the 1980s, I wouldn’t be surprised.

The latest find is a fascinating inversion of the birther conspiracy. Breitbart.com has discovered that in 1991 Barack Obama’s literary agent (who also represented New Kids on the Block) published a booklet that included a biography of the future President. The audience was “business colleagues” in the publishing industry and it was designed to promote Obama’s anticipated first book (later abandoned) called Journeys in Black and White. Here’s how it describes the author’s origins."

Oh, Canada: Canadian Museum Debuts Taxpayer-Funded ‘X-Rated’ Sex Exhibit Designed For Children as Young as 12

...
“The purpose of the National Museum of Science and Technology is to foster scientific and technological literacy throughout Canada,” said James Maunder, spokesman for federal Heritage Minister James Moore.

“It is clear this exhibit does not fit within that mandate. This content cannot be defended, and is insulting to taxpayers,” Maunder said. “We have expressed our strong concerns to the president of the Museum, and we encourage Canadians who are concerned to do the same.”

...

And here’s the kicker: the whole thing cost Canadian taxpayers $800,000.

UK 'will return to Stone Age by 2014'
17-05-12

BRITAIN will be a prehistoric barter economy within two years, the Bank of England has predicted.

Leisure time will be spent drumming in the dark

The bank’s latest projections show that negative growth and the collapse of the eurozone will create an economic system based on flint axes, chickens and shiny stones.

Bank of England governor Mervyn King said: “By 2014 job and mortgage worries will be replaced by concerns about fighting rival tribes with spears.

“And you’re not going to have time to update your Facebook status when a wolf has just stolen your baby.”

Technology shares plummeted following the announcement. However, traders reported a buoyant market in bear pelts.

Chicken farmer Joseph Turner was upbeat about the collapse of society into violent, brutish chaos.

He said: “I’ve got 200,000 scabrous hens packed into my stinking warehouses, so basically I’m going to be one of the richest men in England.

“I’ll probably marry Liz Hurley and become King of Worcestershire.”

Unemployed builder Norman Steele agreed: “I’m six foot four and pretty tasty in a fight, so I’m looking forward to the day when social status is determined by brute force.

“Then I will kill all clever people except the ones that make beer.”

Despite the gloomy predictions, King anticipates an improvement in the financial situation by 2050, with the introduction of gold coins and feudalism.

Just caught this on the news.

The election results in Etobicoke-Centre has been tossed and another election will be held,pending appeals.

It was a conservative win ,by 26 votes. This could get interesting. The vote count was correct,but the procedures of the vote were suspect.

Will they establish a precedent that any win with-in a certain margin should be scrutinized more than larger wins? Will there be a set amount of procedural errors that would invalidate an election? Will all elections results be deemed valid or not by appointed judges?

This should be very interesting.

PM Harper Owns the Podium.

"New study says Canada leads G8 in keeping
promises made at summits"

"A new report ranks Canada first when it comes to G8 countries fulfilling pledges made at international summits.

The University of Toronto's G8 Research Group study comes as G8 leaders meet at U.S. President Barack Obama's Maryland retreat of Camp David.

The study reviews promises made by Canada, the U.S., France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the U.K., Russia and the European Union at past summits.

It says Canada did best when it came to making progress on commitments or outright meeting the goals."

Even CNN is criticizing Obama

http://www.cnn.com/2012/05/16/opinion/castellanos-obama-campaign/index.html?hpt=op_t1

The 2008 election was easy; he was able to be 'him', which is someone living entirely within words, within a virtual or imagined reality created solely by himself. He has no past, he wasn't vetted by referring his statements to reality. He was..as he presented himself.

Now, he has a real history, one that can be referred to. And it's real, unlike the babble that the Obama gang has put up linking Obama to all the previous presidents. He can't escape this reality.

That's why he's so desperate to divert to emotional issues.

ET, the reluctance to vet Obama contributed to his victory immensely.

He cannot run on his record of 'Hope and Change". He will appeal to the emotional side.The closet door has been opened and Obama is poking his head out,he does not want anyone looking in. His support of SSM,though pulled prematurely from the gifted mouth of Joe,would have come out anyways. It will be used to beat down the Republicans,the same way that the issue was used to tarnish the Conservatives in Canada.SSM is another brick in the Republican's catacomb. Mitt will be screaming for reasoned debate as the last one is put into place.

Obama is not a stupid man by any stretch. He may not be as smart as he believes,or half as smart as his cheerleaders believe. However,the ones pulling the strings are much smarter.
