Ides of September.............from Rico

September is historically the worst-performing month for stocks. Hindenberg Omen or not, it's a tough month for investers and traders.

This year we have the full-on Obamanation Factor to contend with as well.

Beware the "Ides of September."

Something fugly this way comes...

President Barack Obama Claims Credit on Iraq War

For all of the socialism and Islamist-appeasement of this administration, the one thing that has bothered me the most about this president (and candidate in 2007-08) is his screechingly perverse antiwar ideology and opportunism. Barack Obama was the most antiwar Senator in Congress throughout 2007 and in 2008 he tried to play both sides of the fence: After opposing the surge he then turned around and hailed its success, while insisting once more that the war was wrong. As noted in his New York Times op-ed in July 14, 2008, "My Plan for Iraq":

In the 18 months since President Bush announced the surge, our troops have performed heroically in bringing down the level of violence. New tactics have protected the Iraqi population, and the Sunni tribes have rejected Al Qaeda — greatly weakening its effectiveness.

But the same factors that led me to oppose the surge still hold true. The strain on our military has grown, the situation in Afghanistan has deteriorated and we’ve spent nearly $200 billion more in Iraq than we had budgeted. Iraq’s leaders have failed to invest tens of billions of dollars in oil revenues in rebuilding their own country, and they have not reached the political accommodation that was the stated purpose of the surge.
I do not hate this president. But he brings deep shame to the role of Commander-in-Chief. And that shame is seen one more time with this weekend's White House announcement on the end of U.S. combat operations in Iraq. IMHO, Obama just lies when he claims to be upholding the "sacred trust" of our fighting men and women. It takes more than winning an election to win that trust -- you have to earn it. That said, folks may have different emotions than I do. But I think we can agree that getting the Democrats out of power in 2010 and 2012 will begin the process of restoring American power in the world. I cringe at the thought of this sick ACORN-sleazeball presidential interloper directing the force and capabilities of the U.S. abroad. But time heals all wounds, and the electorate is rumbling:

Basic accounting for......from Rico

Here is some basic accounting for Congress, the Financial Media, and all Obamunistas.

ALE

Assets (cash reserves) minus Liabilities (foreign debt) equals Equity (net worth), or A-L=E for short, simple, and easy to remember.

Now let's use ALE to compare China and the US.

China has cash reserves of $5 trillion, foreign debt of $374 billion, leaving a positive net worth of $4.6 trillion.

The US has cash reserves of $490 billion, foreign debts of $2.1 trillion, leaving a negative net worth of <$1.6 trillion>

I do not think the 40# brains that put us into this hole are smart enough to get us out of it.

Time for a different kind of "ale" I think...hmmmmm, Bass or Guinness?

Nation's Capital 'Jammed With Freedom Loving Patriots'

Tweets Amanda Carpenter:

Photobucket

More photos at Instapundit and Weasel Zippers. Michelle will be linking pics throughout the day, and she has this:
We’re hearing a lot about people criticizing the timing of the event, calling it insensitive for having the rally on the anniversary of Dr. King’s speech — but since most of this criticism is coming from people who are calling critics of the ground zero area mosque over-sensitive, let’s move on.
And heads continue to explode at the audacity of Glenn Beck and thousands of patriots marching to rescue liberty and the civil rights legacy. All Steve Benen can do is screech: "hate-filled demagoguery."

Plus, at ABC News, "
Sarah Palin at Glenn Beck's Rally: 'Dr. King Would Be So Proud'."

Raven

In Great Satan's arsenal of future weaponry being deployed today - those wild hottie naughty killer drones got tons of play!

Why cause?

Because - they got tons of game, bay bee!

Hunter killers like Predator and Reaper are notoriously bad girls - always just out of reach of the handwringing attorney brigade - they diss Pakistani sovereignty (yeah - what a hoot!) seek out and slay enemies and enemy enablers anywhere. Anytime. They. Want.

Aside from Sexy Beast - Great Satan also enjoys doing several recon drones - like Little Satan's 'Hunter', and the Shadow (200 RQ 7) there is also Raven.

Sweet, petite, discrete and in heat - Raven actually returns kinda like a boomerang all on her own - no imposing imposed curfews required!

She's tiny tiny - handheld and hand launched. Raven weighs in at four and a half pounds with a five-foot wingspan and barely 38 inches in length! Raven's gig gives 'farsight' to cats on the ground in a tactical environment from subsquad level on up - thus, ensuring Great Satan's enemies rec'v the nasty surprise on the battlefield while her forces are sweetly informed with real time intell.

Never has killed anyone - Raven is a good girl.

When non-fans watch Beck on his TV show they can get the same creepy politics mixed with religion vibe that I got watching Obama as he ran for President. Ironically Beck has said he prefers Obama in an interview post election.

NIA Economic Deja Vu?...........from Rico

No, the guy in this video is NOT as cute as Maria Bartiromo or the other Money Honeys on Financial TV, but he actually knows whereof he speaks. They are parrots reading a teleprompter, and this fellow is the bearer of some very bad news you won't hear from the "if you look good you are good" talking heads.

HOPE is not an investment strategy, nor is it even a "plan"...

Watch the video and decide for yourself. The numbers do NOT look good, but the math is merciless.

Victory is the Only Option

I love this!

From the
House GOP Conference:

While President Obama and Vice President Biden continue to seek credit for "ending the combat mission" in Iraq, this video praises the contributions of our troops for helping bring greater stability and security there -- significant progress that was only made possible through a surge strategy most Democrats like the President and Vice President opposed. As the drawdown of troops in Iraq continues, House Republicans are grateful to all the men and women in uniform, as well as their families, for the courage and sacrifices they have made, and continue to make, to advance freedom abroad and strengthen our security here at home.
