Skip to comments.Obama Has Already Lost
Posted on 04/30/2012 4:28:16 AM PDT by Kaslin
On April 30th in 1789, at Federal Hall in New York City, George Washington took the oath of office to become the first president of the United States. He took that oath amidst a widespread surge of popularity and consensual respect that has yet to be replicated in any subsequent presidential election in this country. For two terms, Washington was able to govern, and govern well, because even before he won the election as president of the United States, through his deeds, Washington had won the respect and trust of all of colonial America. If measured against that high standard, Barack Obama, whether he is elected in November 2012 or not, will be unable to govern effectively, if at all.
Whether the standard to measure Barack Obama is legislative, fiscal, foreign policy, managerial or personal, Obama ranks among the lowest of the low in presidential ability.
Legislatively, Obamas signature piece of legislation, Obamacare, is tied up in a Supreme Court challenge which has exposed the shameful short cuts, side dealings and horse-trading that Team Obama was forced to implement in order to have the legislation scrape past the Senate. Billions of dollars of incentives to Senators and congressmen can be done once or twice. But, if congress requires these kinds of tawdry incentives to advance Obamas presidential agenda, it is hard to imagine Obama has any ability to implement future legislation.
Consider some of Obamas other signature efforts--a JOBS bills that doesnt create jobs, an energy policy that increases the price of gas at the pump and increases Americas dependence on foreign oil. An insistence of subsidies, for failed green endeavors, that waste billions of taxpayer dollars on ill-thought Solar and wind schemes that advance the agendas of Obamas political allies.
Fiscally, Obama has been the most irresponsible president in the history of the United States (and that is saying something!). Obamas spend, spend, spend agenda has kept the economy from growing, has created new generations of citizens dependent upon the government dole and has resulted in the slowest growth in GDP in three years. And for what? Obama has not been able to create the jobs he promised because Obama doesnt understand that business, not government, creates jobs in a free economy.
Entitlement spending has ballooned to outrageous levels wherein over 50% of Americans do not work, nor do they look likely to do so in the future. Obama has put in place trillions of taxpayer dollars as spending intended to stimulate the economy. But the economy has not been stimulated, though the pockets of Obamas political allies have been generously lined with taxpayer dollars.
The president has not even been able to produce a federal budget that can be debated seriously by congress. His last such pathetic attempt was unanimously voted down (0-414), showing that Obama has been abandoned by his own party. Could congress, in a bi-partisan effort, be sending the president an indisputable message about what they think of Obamas stewardship of the economy?
What does it say that Obama cant even get one vote on an issue as important as the federal budget? There seems to be universal, bi-partisan agreement that in matters financial, the president is irrelevant.
Obamas international shenanigans, from his bowing and scraping his way across Asia during his first year in office, to his hugs and handshakes for charlatans and brutish dictators, has been a public embarrassment. Obamas off-mike comments to Medvedev show the president to be an anxious schoolboy, lackey-like and eager to be all things to all people, desperate for praise and willing to sacrifice American values to achieve.
The story of George Washington and the cherry tree may be apocryphal; merely a tale emblematic of George Washingtons propensity for truthfulness, but Obama spawns no such legend. He has told too many falsehoods, taken too many short cuts, and appointed as his spokespersons and surrogates, too many who do the same, and hence, Obama has lost the trust of the American people. What Obama has lost is what Americans value mostintegrity.
And then there is the personal. It is turning out that Obama is actually not very likeable. At every opportunity, Obama seems to jump into controversies that should be solved at a state or local level (Gates affair in Cambridge, MA or Trayvon Martin in FL), before he has all the facts. Obama is showing himself to be a race-baiter, citing directly, or through his surrogates, that any who disagree with his policies or opinions must somehow be racist. Or theres the class-warfare mongering. Repeatedly, Americans hear Obama blaming millionaires and billionaires, claiming that they havent paid their fair share, though Obama is a multi-millionaire and he, too, takes advantage of every tax loophole.
Barack Obama has been so fixated on his re-election (another of his falsehoods since he has often stated he didnt care if he was a one-term president) and consumed with building winning issues-based coalitions, that he has lost the trust and respect and confidence of most Americans. Even if Obama, by some sleight of hand, were to win in November, he has no mandate; he lost consumer confidence, and he cant govern.
John Marshall once said that a statesmen is a a person that loves the people enough to tell them the truth". Barack Obama is clearly no statesmen and has repeatedly refused to deal honestly with the nations problems as he ceaselessly maneuvers for short term political gain. Even if he wins the election, itll be the longest lame duck session in the nations history. Barack Obama cannot govern. The nation is wiser and demands a statesman.
In steps voter fruad, vuwalla!!! he wins
Wishful thinking. We have one of the worse candidates ever for the 2nd election cycle in a row. Obama wins by hook or crook in November.
Be prepared to be surprised.
Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer.
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said "Far out, - What a day, a year, a laugh it is!"
You know, - Well, you know you had it comin' to you,
Now there's not a lot I can do.
Dreamer, you stupid little dreamer;
So now you put your head in your hands, oh no!
I said "Far out, - What a day, a year, a laugh it is!"
You know, - Well, you know you had it comin' to you,
Now there's not a lot I can do.
-Cheap Trick
It will be attempted, and again we will see deep city districts with more votes than voters.
However if government owned Chevy runs deep, loathing for Barack Obama runs deeper. The give a damn factor will run quite high this year, this time to literally say damn to Obama. Some will be so high minded that they will pick a third party, but at least even they will go vote to do it and will likely choose the less liberal of any Congressional candidates. Others, the unwashed, will still think that Mitt's sane platform on economy and jobs is preferable to Barack Obama's blatant mismanagement.
I believe many denizens here make the mistake of projecting their own worldviews onto larger America. Larger America is going to be caring about the economy, and this "worst candidate ever" will still look wonderful in that light next to Barack Obama. Barack Obama was never a businessman. He Who Must Not Be Mentioned was, and successfully if controversially. People will figure that he ought to know.
This is by no means a ringing endorsement in the absolute. Competition brings out the best in political races, and it's only because Obama is so lame that the GOP has seriously countenanced Mitt Romney for the big enchilada.
I stand corrected. Thanks.
What? Obama would actually govern conservatively?
Unless conservatives take down this GOPe/rino infested/any "R" goes party there will be NO SURPRISES!
That's what I'm thinking as well. Can you imagine a debate between RINOmney and Obama? "But Gov. Romney, you did the same thing as me....you did the same thing as me.....you supported the same thing as me...." That's all Obama has to say and nobody could prove him wrong. The GOP can kiss my a** for pushing that putz.
Historically, if incumbent Obama were going to win he'd be polling way ahead of his presumptive challenger at this point in the calendar. He isn't, and he continues to point the gun at his shoe and pull the trigger in his desperation to look relevant. The stinking czars. The "crucify" EPA. The brag on catching OBL which should have stopped there but instead brought in a non sequitur about Mitt Romney (Mitt didn't believe in committing funds to a global OBL manhunt — AND NEITHER DID BARACK. But the discovery of OBL was different, a gift tossed into the President's lap.)
Face it, John McCain was bamboozled by the race card. It showed, glaringly, to the point he felt he had to say "there is nothing to fear from a President Obama." This mistake is not being made a second time.
And you will do everything that you can to help him, starting with your attitude.
Yup. Don't underestimate the power of smoky backrooms & large checks.
This is the heart of a fundamental debate that is shaping up here, unless and until JR steps in and silences one side of it.
The process of a concerned citizen's involvement with US presidential politics is a long term one. It's not just a vote every four years. Perhaps lessons can be taken from this that will enable the production of better, tougher candidates in the future.
I agree. The author is drinking the Romney kool aid.
Obama hasn't even started his massive spending yet.
And since Romney provides no contrast to Obama, Obama will bury him.
The campaign slogan might as well be:
"Why switch to my mini-me?"
There is a point, however, where stumping for an obvious stinker begins to make the stumpers look bad. A huge Obama campaign budget could spread long lasting egg over the Democrat face.
And who was allowed to vote in 1789? Yeah, sure, tell me Obama has already lost.
That's an awful royal statement. Too many here project their own specialized worldview onto larger America. Larger America, in the meantime, is already polling a virtual tie with the incumbent and a Mitt who hasn't even gotten the official GOP nod. Historical experience says this is extremely bad juju for the incumbent.
We'll know in November, HTRN.
Go to this link and play with this interactive electoral map of the US.
If nothing else, it's a good link to have. (If you don't already have it.)
"Washington had won the respect and trust of all of colonial America."
Washington and most all of colonial America were made up of honorable men who were self reliant. Obama and his entitlement voters(about half the nation) are anything but honorable and seek to destroy the values this country was founded upon.
My reading of the US Constitution, its founders' intent, and the many instances of each amendment stipulating that the Federal Government shall not.......et al, just reinforces my belief that the intent was to give STATES the power to decide their will, with many, many safeguards to them by capping and restraining the power of the Federal Government to infringe on the rights of states.
That said, if the blue blue state of Massachusetts wanted to hogtie their residents and cripple their futures, it is that state's right, provided they can pass muster through the USOC on review. It is not, however, Hussein's right to inflict that rights abortion on the rest of us without collective states rights' consent
I thought that was Supertramp from "Even In the Quietest Moments".
The idea of Barack Obama prevailing, map or no, would require a larger masking perfume factory than any chemical plant owned by the Army. Barack STINKS and in a very crucial area that Mitt has a ready made case — the role of business in the economy. Barack was never a business man. It won't be hard for Mitt to convince the great unwashed that as a business man, he knows. Most people now know that most jobs come from business.
I'll stop here lest I be perceived as waxing poetic on Mitt's behalf. Mitt is very troublesome and worrisome in many areas. He snuggles up to gays way too easily. But as a businessman, people will believe he knows business.
It'll take many years to recover from the damage he and his minions have wreaked.
Understood; he's hard to support.
But since 90+% of voters know which way they're voting regardless of candidates, he need only sway less than 5% of voters ... or votes.
Remember, this is a guy who can, does, and will write very large checks with no concern about where the money is coming from. Anyone concerned about long-lasting egg will be handed a billion-dollar check to wipe it off with.
"And who was allowed to vote in 1789?"
I think that is the real elephant in the living room that so many ignore. Any 18 year old, even one who is still trying to make it through high school or has dropped out and is dependent on his parents to put food on his plate and furnish a bed for him to sleep on is allowed to vote! This is the height of absurdity.
Some fear that, while being willing to derail Obamacare per se, Mitt will try to get Congress to replace it with inducements for states to duplicate from their end what Massachusetts did. That sounds like a hard sell to me, because it would only be replacing one profligate spending package with another, but never say never.
I'm sure they won't care if the bribe is big enough, but the egg is still visible to the public. You ruin your credibility by going in the tank for a loser who shoots himself in the foot at every chance.
That's all.
That blade cuts both ways, at least in principle. Too much dependency can snuff out the hope of bettering your circumstances, but the smoke that Obama was blowing about a bright America that never came might help to keep that hope alive.
"Obama Has Already Lost"
Pipe dream.
He is not going to lose any Catholics, the so-called Independents will travel in left circles at the polls, and the ethnic groups who sniff at the hicks in flyover country will vote for The One in droves. (The Progressives are not a threat; it's the members of the electorate who instantly become brilliant and superior when they think and vote Progressive.)
I mean the rhetorical you (actually those who would be bought into boosting Obama).
Obama has 95% of blacks and at worst 70% of white women. That's at least 42% of the total electorate locked up in his favor and campaign fear-mongering will keep it that way. Not including Dem voter fraud and intimidation, he just needs to win over 8-9% of the remainder—which includes other minorities, x-gens/millenials and homo/metrosexual white males. Seems like that's enough right there.
Unmarried/divorced (the left made divorce easy on purpose) women vote overwhelmingly for the "daddy state".
How does that demographic compare, in voting percentages, to the general under-21 crowd?
Historically, fence sitters have broken heavily for the challenger to the incumbent. The smallest caucus in the world are people who voted for McCain who now want to cast a ballot directly for Barack Obama.
Too many here are projecting their point of view upon larger America, which doggedly follows other political trends.
Thank you Gaffer, for pointing that out. Mitt had every right as a STATE Governor to pass such BS, so Obama can sure try to say "same thing" but it isn't. Mitt can say "mine was Constitutional, yours isn't." That argument disappears.
I want to give my LAST CHOICE CANDIDATE Mitt one more accolade, but without my pompoms. We always complain we cannot get anyone to fight on our side, to really shove it. Newt was bringing it, but didn't get there. Mitt has shown a hunger for the fight. If we can shove him to the right (assuming, of course he gains the nomination), he can de-pants Obama and even provide a sliver of coat tail, IF he'll pick someone staunchly conservative as a Veep.
Please don't ban me, Jim!
I am a Catholic and I have never voted for the Rat party and their candidates and never will, and I know I am not the exception
That's a Supertramp song, not Cheap Trick!
Everyone always knew that black people were a lock for Democrats. They are kept, at great pains, on the plantation.
Women, perhaps another story. As more women feel a need to have a presence in the workplace, a business minded Mitt may start to look better than a business sabotaging Barack. Also, the Democrats have already shot themselves in the foot with remarks about Mrs. Romney which garnered more sympathy for her than disdain for Mitt's supposed "anti woman" sentiments.
Keep your eye on the electoral map. You've always been a straight shooter HTRN.
So straight up from me: I hope to change your mind and have you support a true conservative, Virgil Goode.
Have a great day!
It sure looks that way and it's disgusting

If you regularly go to church on Sundays you are in the segment of Catholics who tend not to vote Democrat.
The cafeteria or Easter-Christmas Catholics are the ones who are easy pickings for Barack. And even a lot of them were consternated at Barack's heavy handed reneging on his promise to respect Catholic conscience rights.
Those you describe have fallen for the lie of "social justice", ie,
support this policy and you're fulfilling your obligation of charity, without any personal sacrifice.
Even if I wanted to make a statement by voting a third party I would first want to be sure that my state wasn't going to be anywhere close to on the line. If there would be a doubt I'd vote with the clothespin on my nose. I would have no quarrels with a Goode presidency (pun?) but it ain't going to happen — the time to try to make a third party viable was years ago, and Obama would have been about as easy pickings as any in a long time.
"I am a Catholic and I have never voted for the Rat party and thier candidates and never will, and I know I am not the exception."
One hopes that the majority of Catholics thinks (rather than "feels") the same way.

What is in this article?:
- 39 ag groups unite to push for new farm bill
- Broad impact
• Farm Bill Now is a coalition of 39 agricultural groups, each with strong and varied policy priorities, yet all committed to passing a farm bill this year.
More About:
The National Corn Growers Association has joined a coalition of 39 of the nation's foremost agricultural organizations in an effort to raise public awareness of the need for Congress to pass a new, comprehensive, five-year farm bill before current farm programs expire in September.
The coalition, called Farm Bill Now, comprises associations and coalitions representing commodity crops, livestock, dairy, specialty crops, state and local governments, minor crops, energy and biobased product groups, farm cooperatives and financial groups, as well as the nation's two largest farm groups, the American Farm Bureau Federation and the National Farmers Union.
Each organization has strong and distinct policy priorities, yet all 39 are committed to passing a new, comprehensive bill this year.
Today, the group issues the following statement, titled "Why We Need a Farm Bill," on the importance of new farm legislation for America's farmers:
(For complete farm bill coverage, click here).
"Calling the farm bill the 'farm bill' suggests its impact is limited only to farms and to the rural areas to which they are so closely tied. It's really a jobs bill. A food bill. A conservation bill. A research bill. An energy bill. A trade bill. In other words, it's a bill that affects every American.
"The farm bill affects our nation's ability to provide the necessities of life for a global population projected to pass 9 billion by 2050. Here at home, it affects an industry that provides 23 million — or 1 in every 12 — American jobs.

I taking domperidone and it works for me really well only thing was that I was hoping to wean off the med but my milk almost dried up so I had to start taking it again. Although everything I have read on the Newman site said some moms have to take it until they wean. So anyway tell me your stories if there are any others out there. I have been feeling kind of alone in my relactating quest lately.

Meet your 2009 Milwaukee Yankees!!
Okay, seriously…what the heck is going on?
Actually, I'm kind of flattered that the Yankees want half of our roster
(actually just about 16%).
I hope everything works out the best for all involved.
Just get accustomed to him taking the slow walk back to the dugout after a three (maybe 4) pitch strikeout. Then, politely spitting his dip into the air out of frustration for all eyes (YES Network) to see.
Brewers fans certainly grew tired of this mental image…
this man has nothing on Bill Hall.
So, the question is this: If I was a fan of Sabathia, Cameron, Sheets and Hall last year as members of the Milwaukee Brewers, does that make me a small fan of the Bombers in '09?
I doubt it.
But, I will certainly follow the Yanks box scores a little closer.

Actually, Tito's mouth is full of bubble gum. Though several of our other players are pretty bad at dipping.
I've seen Tito go through buckets of Bubble Trouble in one game… he's crazy, I don't think he dips. Is Sheets a free agent? If so, did Milwaukee offer him arbitration? Cameron went to the Mets right?
Getting Ivan Rodriguez would be interesting, I heard that the Sox offered Tek a deal (although the terms were not disclosed), and we might be letting Cash go. Perhaps Pudge is one of the players Theo is looking into.
That's kind of freaky. I guess you guys had all the good players! Well, Jake isn't getting traded to the Cubs!!! I am very relieved!!!!
I stand corrected on the Terry Francona chewing tobacco comment.
As you can see above, a few of our resident Red Sox experts have corrected my mistake.
Sorry, Terry.

Funding and Disbursements
Parent/Guardian State Pupil Transportation Reimbursement Program
This program is for parents/guardians to whom free bussing is not provided. It is also utilized by parents/guardians which live less than 1.5 miles from the school and have a Serious Safety Hazard approval on file with their Regional Office of Education. The reimbursement rates are usually prorated, and are paid out on a per pupil basis.
Purpose and Eligibility
The purpose of the Parent/Guardian Pupil Transportation Program is to reimburse parents or guardians of eligible students for qualified transportation expenses. Statutory authority for this program can be found in the Illinois School Code at 105 ILCS 5/29-5.2 Student eligibility criteria for this initiative includes the following:
- The pupil must be under age 21 at the close of the school year;
- The pupil must be a full-time student in grades K-12;
- The pupil must live either:
- 1 1/2 miles or more from the school attended; or
- within 1 1/2 miles of the school attended, where a verified safety hazard exists (similar to the safety hazard mechanism in regular/vocational transportation reimbursement); and
- The pupil did not have access to transportation to and from school provided entirely at public expense.
Please do not try to file a parent/guardian claim individually. You must go to the school that your child attends in order to file a claim. The school is the only entity that can transmit a parent/guardian claim electronically via the IWAS system.
Parents can submit claim information at the attendance center their pupil attends until June 30 each year. Local education agencies must transmit claim data to the Illinois State Board of Education by July 30 each year.
If a student lives less within 1 1/2 miles of the school attended, where a verified safety hazard exists, an Application for Determination for Serious Safety Hazard must be filed with the Regional Superintendent in your area by February 1 each year. If a serious safety hazard is verified by the Illinois Department of Transportation, the approval is valid for four years.

You can use pretty much anything as a gearbag. I see people using dufflebags, army bags etc. It really depends on what you want to use. The paintball gearbags might offer some extra protection, but I do not feel the 150 buck price tags justify that. I do recommend getting a bag with wheels on it, makes it a shit ton easier to use haha
Posted 23 March 2013 - 09:24 PM
Do you know of any you can give me a link to right off the top of your head??
Posted 23 March 2013 - 09:40 PM
Shamefully no, I think it is best if you just go out to the mall and visit a few stores that sell travel suitcases and bags etc. Or perhaps one that sells sportsbags? You really don't need anything expensive, just something solid and with enough space.
I personally use a leather travelbag with wheels on them, which I got for free from work a long time ago.

I just have to do some research on this and thought my LL friends would be perfect to ask. I have been breastfeeing my 11 month old since she was born. I pump and she takes those bottles at daycare. She is CONSTANTLY sick. I am so frustrated...to the point where I am ready to pull her out and just figure out what to do later. I thought that breastfeeding would keep her healthy at daycare. Not that I expected her to never get sick, but it's crazy. She is sick all the time. Constantly going to the doctor for ear infections, fevers, stomach bugs, etc.
Anyone have any words of wisdom? I just need to know if this is normal and when it should get better!

What was your reward for perfect attendance – never missing a day of work in six months?
A pat on the back from your supervisor? A mention in the company bulletin?
How about a new car?
That's what 11 employees with perfect attendance received from United Airlines this weekend.
According to a company press release, United Airlines celebrated the perfect attendance of 11 employees at an event at Chicago O'Hare International Airport and awarded each employee a new Ford vehicle.
The employees, representing six work groups and based in seven cities around the globe, each achieved perfect attendance during at least one of three six-month periods beginning July 1, 2010.
Thousands of employees were eligible, and United randomly selected 11 winners in a drawing in May. Each winner chose between a Ford Explorer, a Ford Escape, a Ford Mustang and a Ford Focus. The company will pay all expenses associated with the vehicle, including sales tax, title and license.
"Our people and their commitment to service and reliability are at the core of our effort to build the world's leading airline," said Donna Towle, vice president of Employee Relations at United. "Perfect attendance facilitates a work environment of dependability and trust, and enables us to provide our customers with consistent, reliable service."
United said eligible employees may participate in an annual drawing to win a new vehicle, with the company awarding 11 new cars each year. Employees also are eligible for a rolling six-month perfect attendance award of $50 cash, a $50 donation to United's employee relief fund on the employee's behalf, or 5,000 frequent flyer miles.
The airline has awarded employees more than 180 new vehicles since the Perfect Attendance Program began in 1996.
More than 85,000 United employees reside in every U.S. state and in countries around the world.

Here's a weird question: Is it possible to have overactive letdown that makes baby gulp/sputter/choke without actually having too much milk? I swear that's where I'm at. My LO is 8 weeks old.
During daytime feedings, I lean way back and put him on top of me to help him deal with my letdown, and I sometimes take him right off and hand express a little to help him out as well. I have to take him off and burp him frequently, or he gets a ton of gas and is miserable. He kind of loses the seal his lips have on my breast during the letdown as well, if that makes sense. Makes a kissing noise or click with each suck. I thought at first it was his tongue clicking, but it's his lips.
I was starting to do a little short block feeding earlier this week, thinking that my problem was oversupply, but he usually wasn't satisfied with just one side, and the past couple of evenings, he's just nursed and nursed and nursed and not really seemed satisfied. Now I'm thinking of making a bowl of oatmeal, when I had been convinced I had oversupply issues.
I do think we may be in the middle of a growth spurt. Oh and he was also refluxing some before I sorted out the OAL stuff, but that seems to be getting better. I'm so confused!
BTW, I'm new to these forums, but not to breastfeeding or LLL. I'm bfing baby #3 also have two girls, 7 and 5, and I've been an LLL member since I was pregnant with the first! ;0)
ETA: I don't spray milk during a letdown, BTW. I used to with DD2, but not now. Maybe it's not OAL, just that he has problems keeping up with a normal letdown because he's young? One more thing: no green or frothy poops here. He just pooped for the first time in 13 days (!) and though it was amazingly abundant, it was totally normal. Thoughts?

Hello! I am a first time mom and have found thankful comfort here so I appreciate all your advice and comments. My son is now 5 mos old and we are surviving! He has been a tremendously difficult baby so I am generally exhausted all the time. Anyway . . . whenever, not just night, he nurses to sleep. This wouldn't particularly bother me except that in a couple of months I need to return to work (Yes, have to. Didn't plan very well financially and if I go back for 5 mos. to save money then I can stay home for a few years). He has never just drifted off to sleep as I read about some babies doing. I had to do some professional development for two days a couple of weeks ago and he refused to sleep and eat (I did pump - can't get much - that's another whole issue) and was screaming whenever I called . My husband brought him up to me at lunch each day (he is a wonderful husband and daddy) and he would have swollen little eyes and a rash from getting so worked up and hot. He would then eat and fall asleep only to be awakened when put in the car seat thus setting off another fun evening for the hubby until I got home. I believe he would eventually go to sleep after crying continuously for about an hour while I was gone. This has happened even the few evenings I have tried to be away. (He loves to nurse and pacify so I don't get away much if at all) Sooo, my concern is daycare. I know he needs the sleep. Do I just let them deal with it? Will he eventually learn another way? Some have recommended the care seat, which won't work at daycare, but until about a week ago he has HATED his car seat. In fact, I think he has hated everything except boobies until recently. He is a HIGH needs baby with a mommy willing to do anything for him to find comfort and I am so worried about the sleeping.
Thanks so much for the advice/info.

On how to improve education:
"If children have ardour,
They'll want to try harder
They just need enough aspiration".

The Federal Reserve and the Next Financial Crisis
Mortgaging future generations for immediate gratification.
I may be going to hell in a bucket, babe
But at least I'm enjoying the ride...
-- Grateful Dead
We've seen a lot in our time together: the dot -com bust, the energy and metal bubbles, unintended policy consequences that created the housing bubble, the implosion that almost took down the global financial system (after we were assured it was "contained" by Mr. Bernanke and Ms. Yellen) and of course, the grand finale: Government.com.
Throughout it all, we've operated with certain guiding principles: All you have is your name and your word, and honesty, trust, and respect are the foundational constructs of any successful endeavor. Further, we've attempted to navigate this historic stretch with an ethos that we can be suspect or critical in our analysis but we mustn't delve into the realm of acrimony or disrespect; there is already more than enough of that to go around.
Yesterday, following the latest Jedi mind trick by the Fed, I colored outside my self-imposed lines and wrote a column that was as close to "losing it" as I'll get. The genesis wasn't a massive hit to my P&L or frustration stemming from the opportunity cost; it was cumulative angst, much like September 2008 when I wanted to stand on a table in a crowded restaurant and scream, "PAY ATTENTION to what is happening!"
Conventional wisdom dictates that the financial crisis we witnessed in 2008 is a once-in-a-generation event, and that would likely be true in a capital market construct that was allowed to experience booms and busts. This Federal Reserve, however, has tried to retire the business cycle, repeatedly using policy and vernacular to brainwash investors into believing that recession is anathema.
To their credit, they have largely succeeded in the financial equivalent of "Mission Accomplished"; if the stock market is the world's largest thermometer and price is the ultimate arbiter of variant views, the all-time highs are all you need to know. Those who are lucid enough to ask "why?" rather than "what?" however, will remain one step ahead of the increasingly likelihood of history repeating.
We strive to see the entire probability spectrum and there is an outcome that supports higher prices still, should the Fed somehow "write off" the toxic assets it has accumulated or simply ignore them, as policymakers effectively did when they swept FASB 157 under the rug in 2008.
The risk to that assumption, however, is that the unintended consequences of this historically untested approach will remain muted or absent; remember, the result of the Y2K and dot-com "solutions" led to the housing bubble, and the result of those "solutions" continues to manifest in size and scope, ballooning sovereign balance sheets, punishing foreign holders of dollar-denominated assets, and pushing social mood toward the third -- and final -- phase of the prevailing direction.
There is a tactical approach to trading this market -- trailing stops with S&P (INDEXSP:.INX) 1709 as a backstop -- and viable pair trades for those who are patient (we touched on one last Friday in our gold vs. S&P discussion).
That's all well and good for those with a "take care of the minutes and the hours will take care of themselves" mindset, but we would be wise to keep our eyes open while maintaining independent thought. If we learned anything yesterday, it's that the Federal Reserve is making this up as it goes and has no better idea of how this will end than it did in 2008 when it assured us all was well and there was nothing to see.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction; the "other side" of this trade awaits, the final frontier of this historic experiment that will be studied and debated and ridiculed for generations to come.
I'm not smart enough to know how, when, or what triggers it, but I wouldn't be true to the spirit of Minyanville if I didn't lay it out there for all to see; from there, the onus is on each and every one of us to make decisions that are consistent with our individual best interests.

Democratic legislators are pushing to expand Medicaid in Iowa.
Sen. Jack Hatch and Rep. Lisa Heddens, both Democrats, introduced legislation Tuesday that would broaden eligibility requirements for the state program, which covers low-income people, including children and the disabled. President Barack Obama's health care overhaul provides funding to states that do this expansion.
If expanded, as many as 150,000 people could be added to Iowa's Medicaid rolls, mostly low-income childless adults.
Gov. Terry Branstad has opposed an expansion, based on the cost to the state. The federal government would pay the full cost of the expansion for three years and then the state would gradually assume 10 percent of the costs for the new enrollees.

Minnesota's governor spent Wednesday afternoon fielding questions from college students.
Governor Mark Dayton stopped at Winona State for an open forum with students. Not surprisingly, a number of the questions were focused on the cost of college and the job outlook.
Gov. Dayton says there's still a lot of work to do to make sure college continues to be affordable and that students don't graduate with tremendous debt. "My hope is that the Minnesota economy will continue to improve and allow us to go further in that area, and there were some very good suggestions made about internships, paid internships and also a college work study program that makes up for what the federal government has dropped," said Governor Dayton.
The governor also talked about how Minnesota is doing vastly better with the healthcare sign ups than the federal government.
He also said that he'd like to see a moratorium on frac sand mining in our area.

Not much is the simple answer. Children under two should steer clear of the screen altogether. Children aged 2-5 years should have no more than an hour a day. And children aged 5-18 years should have no more than two hours.
Developing healthy screen time habits while they're young will help children and teenagers make better choices about how to use their free time when they're older.
You can help by:
When young children watch TV and DVDs, they don't see the same things adults do. Children can be negatively affected by scary, violent or sexualised images, as well as advertising.
Even having the TV on in the background interferes with children's ability to concentrate on things that are better for their development, like creative or physical play.
For more information about young children and TV, read our articles:
Children and teenagers can use computers to develop their ideas through words, images or music. They can use the internet to explore and find information, build social networks, and to be creative through making their own online content. But children need to learn how to ask questions about the information they find on the internet.
Keep an eye on how long your children spend on the computer. With younger children, make sure you can see what sites they're viewing. Consider installing programs or filters to block children's access to inappropriate internet content.
For more information, read our articles:
Video games are electronic, interactive games that can be played on a personal home computer (PC), television or portable hand-held device. The big name brands are Sony PlayStation, Microsoft Xbox and Nintendo.
The best way for children to get the most from video games is for you to play together. An added bonus is that you'll spend some time with each other and have fun! But if the game contains violence, you might instead talk together about the violence and whether other kinds of games might be more appropriate.
For more information, read our article Video games: playing it safe.

We literally threw the game away before half time. That pass by Seymour I think was possibly the worst pass I have ever seen a half back make. The slowest long ball ever.
It was also a mile forward (although i'm not complaining).
It was the turning point in the game, along with our quick score straight after half-time.

Hi ladies. I just started taking Dom and so far it seems like it is going to work well for me. But I was wondering, has anyone else that has taken it ever had extreme irritability or just plain weepiness on it?
It very well could be some things that are going on in my life right now, but yesterday I was like a loose cannon, then I went home and cried all night long. Like really cried. Heaving sobs and all that jazz. I am not usually like that.
So either I am PG ( and I really really doubt it) or who knows what the heck is going on.
Thanks for your help ladies!

Residents of the Town of Tusten turned out for a public hearing on September 26 to speak out about the proposed rewrite of the town's zoning code. The part of the code that would limit or ban high impact industrial uses, such as gas drilling, which is article 14, received some attention.
Planner Dr. William Pammer, who aided the zoning rewrite committee through the re-write process, said the committee would follow the progress of the two legal cases in the state working their way through the courts regarding gas drilling and zoning, and depending on the outcome, might change article 14 or delete it.
Chuck Hoffman, who previously has run for town supervisor, said that he thought article 14 was "being driven by outsiders," and it could lead to lawsuits because it deprived residents of the mineral rights to their properties.
Sean McGuiness, superintendent of the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River for the National Park Service, recommended that the committee follow the guidelines that are in the River Management Plan. He said, "I am encouraged to see that article 14 does say there will be no heavy industrial uses in the River District, and I hope that follows through regardless" of the fate of the rest of article 14.
Builder Charles Petersheim praised the "non-confrontational dialogue, which has been lacking in other towns," relating to the issue. But, he added, "There is no reason that Tusten or Highland or Lumberland should be on the forefront of legal cases that are working their way through the courts" regarding zoning and gas drilling.
Resident Kevin Vertrees read from the draft supplemental generic impact statement, which was released on September 7 by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, which said any drilling company that wanted to drill in the town would be required "to indentify whether the proposed location of the well pad, or any other activity under the jurisdiction of the department conflicts with local land use laws, regulations."
He said, "My reading of this is that New York State is going to support home rule, and it is important for [the committee] to continue on the path of putting some kind of process in place."
Ned Lang, a local businessman who is running for town council, said there is a problem with the town's comprehensive plan, which was approved in 2007, because it doesn't contain elements that would encourage businesses to open in the town. Therefore, he said, the proposed zoning re-write, which flowed from the comprehensive plan, is anti-business and would therefore be negative for the town, because businesses generate more tax revenue than residents.
Referring to a group of five businesses in Tusten as "the stakeholders," Lang said "Three of the five stakeholders in this town, if we came to this town to put our businesses in this town, we'd be told to go elsewhere. You just can't outlaw certain businesses."

Two jaguar cubs are bringing more than just cooing visitors to Milwaukee's zoo. They're introducing new genes to the endangered species' captive population.
The spotted brothers were born Nov. 13. They don't have official names yet, but zoo keepers are calling them "Dots" and "Gaps," because of markings on their heads.
Their father was born in the wild, which is rare.
Stacey Johnson, coordinator of the jaguar species survival plan for the American Zoo and Aquarium Association, said the father's new genes will help sustain the zoo population over next 100 years.
It also helps that both cubs are male. Johnson said zoos currently have more female jaguars than male.
The cubs are still too small for their exhibit. But zoo keepers said they should be ready by early February.

Influx of New Members
I'm thinking that SHR must really be promoting the web site ... that and tied into the beginning of the season, we're getting about 20 new members a day!
If you're new and reading this... well.. there's somethings you should know right away. LOL
1) No – we can't all get along, all the time. LOL
Let those who want to fight, fight .... & just try to stay clear of joining in.
Don't get personal and try not to take posts personally.
2) Free Speech and all opinions are welcome. Maybe just not by everybody, every day. LOL
This includes "knocking" Tony, Ryan or Danica in their blogs ( sigh ) and voicing unpopular opinions anywhere. Everyone has a right to say so – Animink Inc says so.
3) If you want to know how to do things, ask in the board questions & problems area and someone will answer it.
4) Yes, we ARE crazy. Yes, we ARE a dysfunctional family. LOL
Welcome to the jungle and aboard the crazy train we call SHR Blog Central.
Sh*t happens... but don't worry, it usually happens to me.

Tony is not a team player
I am not saying Tony is a bad team owner, his teams have done great things in other forms of motorsports. his teams have championships in other types of motorsports. However I think his ego is too large to be a team owner driver, and I believe he just gave me the proof to back that statement up. He goes out there and lays a whoopin on the 11 other chase drivers and wins his third title. He does so w/ Darian Grubb as his crew cheif. Two days after his Championship win he fires the guy that helped him win his third title, and picks up another very good crew cheif. Darian was not "good enough" to lead his team, even though he helped him to win a title. Darian got a first place finish and a pink slip while Tubby Gibson got 10th place finish and job security. I don't get it. If Tony was in any way a team player and he wanted to work w/ Addington so badly he would have put Darian on the 39 team because while he finished top 10 Grubb might give him an even better finish in 2012, or at the very least the 10 there is no C.C at all for that team (unless Tony Eurey sp is coming over from N.W). Tony only cares about the 14, the other 2 cars are just about making himself more money. He drives the 14 so what happens w/ that team is all that matters to him. I don't guess I would handle the situation any diff if I was in his shoes, but I would have someone to make sure the other two cars got the attention they deserved. Tony has got to remember he is the owner of a three car team not a one car team. I feel that if changes need to be made to the boss' team they will be made quicker than a hiccup. When changes need to be made on the other two teams they are never made because Tony just don't give a ####

All About Biscuits
Secrets for Biscuits
- Stir dry ingredients well to distribute the leavening agent.
- When a recipe calls for butter, make sure it's cold when you begin.
- Cut in shortening thoroughly. Use a pastry blender or fork to distribute the shortening evenly to give the biscuits a flaky texture.
- Knead dough quickly and lightly. Kneading helps make biscuits and scones flaky, but should be done just until the dough is no longer sticky. Kneading also helps distribute the leavening agent.
- Roll or pat the dough to an even thickness. Not only will biscuits be more attractive, they will bake more evenly.
- Use a floured cutter, and don't twist the cutter.
- Cut out as many of the biscuits or scones as possible from a single rolling of the dough (the second rolling and the additional flour will make them a bit tougher than the first batch).
- Place biscuits and scones close together on the baking sheet for a soft crust; for a crispy crust, place them about 1 inch apart.
- Brush the tops with butter or milk before baking for a rich brown top.
- Remove from the oven when top and bottom crusts are an even golden brown.
- Store cooked biscuits or scones in a sealed plastic bag at room temperature for 2 to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months.
- Reheat foil-wrapped biscuits or scones in a 300°F oven for 10 to 12 minutes; reheat frozen biscuits for 20 to 25 minutes.
