Friday's bad economic news: Is anybody still drinking the Obama Kool Aid?

We woke Friday to a rather bad bunch of numbers about the US economy:

1) We created 69,000 jobs last month.  This is an embarrassing number.  Wonder if there is still anyone out there buying into the "hope and change" nonsense?

2) The unemployment "WENT UP" to 8.2%.

3) The last quarter's GDP was revised "DOWN" to 1.9%.

Let's add it up:  Unemployment is UP, the GDP is shrinking and only 69,000 jobs were created in the US economy.

Can we officially declare that "the stimulus" has not stimulated?

Can we finally say that the Obama "class warfare" has hurt employers?  How can you "demonize" the employer and then expect him to create jobs? 

Can we conclude that European-type socialism just won't work in the US? 

We will probably hear all kinds of "excuses" from the Obama administration today.  They will probably blame Bush even though we are in the 4th year of the Obama administration and we just had the 3rd anniversary of the "stimulus" that was supposed to save the world.

Who failed here?  The answer is Obama's policies.  Check out today's WSJ editorial:  Are we finally ready to debate a change in the policies that have led to this pass?

Who failed too?  It was all of those people "drunk with change" who digested all of the platitudes and nonsense from the Obama '08 campaign. 

Don't blame me!  I voted for McCain!

Dear Mariela: Your family is the mafia NOT the Cuban Americans who want freedom for Cuba

We continue our posts about Mariela Castro's trip to the US.  

As a proud Cuban-American, and the son of parents who stood for freedom in Cuba, I find Mariela Castro repulsive.

We were saddened to see people cheer Mariela in San Francisco.  We are happy that many "gay groups" in the US are not buying the nonsense that Mariela Castro is pushing. 

We saw last week a "gay reaction" in South Florida:

"Gay Cuban Americans in Miami are furious that Fidel Castro's niece is meeting this week and next with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender activists in San Francisco and New York City.

"For Mariela Castro, or anybody else under the Castro dictatorship, to say they are representing the rights of anyone is an insult to the hundreds of thousands who have either been killed, jailed or assassinated by their own hands, or the nearly 100,000 people who’ve jumped into the ocean looking for freedom who haven’t made it here," said Herb Sosa, executive director of Unity Coalition, Miami-Dade County's leading Hispanic gay rights group."

Let me add this about "gay rights".  I am against same sex marriage.  At the same time, I don't support discrimination based on sexual orientation.  I don't care about someone's sexual orientation as long as it is a private matter.  I do care about marriage, an institution that must be defended and can not be redefined so that Pres BO can collect millions of dollars from "gay" contributors. (1 in 6 Obama Money Bundlers is Gay)

Unfortunately, too many in the Obama "we need for our "gay base" to show up in November" administration have a very bad memory of how the Castro brothers treated homosexuals in Cuba.

In fact, homosexuals were treated as anti-social elements and often as consequences of capitalist materialism.   It was one of many human rights disasters in the island.

Again, it is a joke, an insult to our intelligence and a mockery to have Mariela Castro on a mission to promote "gay rights" or to give her endorsement of Pres BO.  (Someone in SF should ask Mariela about Reinaldo Arenas, Cuban writer)
