The excerpt below from President Obama demonstrates the rhetoric does not always mirror performance.

So my main message in today’s meeting was very simple: that America’s banks received extraordinary assistance from American taxpayers to rebuild their industry — and now that they’re back on their feet, we expect an extraordinary commitment from them to help rebuild our economy.

Minus an extensive review of bank failures over time Mr Obama’s comment that banks are ‘back on their feet’ may be premature. A list of failed banks as of this writing from the FDIC lists 142 bank failures since the Messiah took office. If everything that happened on former presidents’ watches are their responsibility then by Mr Obama’s habit of blaming Bush it would be fair to say Obama is responsible for the 142 bank failures. That would suggest his agenda is not changing the rate of bank failures.

Likewise Mr Obama and his crew indicated their agenda would not see unemployment over eight percent. Obviously it has been over ten percent and is currently hovering at that number. That does not include those who are underemployed and may not cover the hopelessly unemployed or those whe have given up the search. Yet Obamanation continues to tout their ability to create jobs and save the economy.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has focused on ramming his so-called health insurance reform down the throats of American taxpayer whether they like it or not. His press release section is short on jobs information but there is some.

Harry likes to claim his ideas are necessary. And economists tell us that if we do nothing, those costs will continue to climb and climb.’ What Harry doesn’t tell you is his ideas will raise the cost of healthcare. Administration’s Own Actuary Says The Dem Bill Increases Health Care Costs.

A second report on the same topic is….

CMS: Reid Bill Raises Health Care Costs $234 Billion. What Harry is really means is: “We Would Do Almost Anything To Pass A Health Care Bill”

But good ol’ Harry is on the job for jobs. Washington, D.C.—Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid released the following statement this afternoon after his White House meeting with President Obama to discuss job creation initiatives to spur America’s economy:

“I had a productive meeting with President Obama this morning. The initiatives that he outlined in his speech yesterday and that we discussed this morning will help small businesses grow and hire new staff, invest in transportation and infrastructure, and give incentives to homeowners to make their homes more energy efficient. He has proposed positive, attainable steps to make sure more Americans have a good job to go to every morning.

Get real Harry. And just what hoops does small business have to jump through to get help from the government that usually means tradeoffs and not doing as you would if left to operate freely? Ooh, investing in transportation and infrastructure. Make work, taxpayer funded projects. Sure, Harry, that’s been done before with exactly what you would get now. Temp jobs with no economic upside beyond a temp paycheck for some. Incentives for homeowners is the same game. Give a break to one taxpayer at the expense of other taxpayers. Government does not create anything except more bills. Fondly referred to as deficits and national debt.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is on Harry’s page. Two press releases echoing the liberal agenda for false economic improvements. Item number one is here. And item nuimber two is here. More debt by use of taxpayer dollars to fund jobs for other taxpayers and those who do not pay taxes.

“Today’s meeting is further evidence how focused President Obama and Congress are on taking more action to keep creating jobs. Absolutely! All the King’s horses and all the King’s men couldn’t put the economy back together again. But they all parrot the agenda spin and sound bites.

Fight for effective and limited government. Not the crap the liberals are selling.
