Whom ever started and maintained Economists for Obama realized long ago, it was a failed venture. The last post coming all the way back in February of 2009. I guess there wasn't much "consensus" for "recovery" by then, even though "recovery summer" wasn't for another year and four months.
Something tells me, as we complete the third year and head into the campaign year, there won't be too many more "Economists for Obama."

Bring Out the Birthers!
Good old Rainbow State plans to sell copies of O's (not the Orioles that is) birth cert. $100.00 USD.
Seems to me that you're trading worthless fiat paper for even more worthless fiat paper. But hey, when the printing press run out of unique blend cotton, just substitute full on state BS. (Please note that I am not saying his birth cert exists or doesn't, but we could have put this to bed 3 years ago and didn't).

QOTD: Wife's Perspective on Cell Phones & Sink Holes
Between the weather, work, and recovering from skiing this past weekend, (and staying up to watch the SOTU and the Paul Ryan response), I'm a little out of sorts. (Well, dear reader, perhaps you are learning that I am always a little out of sorts).
My wife, a civil engineer by trade, and the apolitical women that she is, actually watched 3/4s of the SOTU with me on Tuesday evening. In doing so she made me LOL at this:

Great, so...let me get this straight? What the President just said was that we are failing at maintaining our existing infrastructure and we are lagging behind in creating new infrastructure, but don't worry, we'll give you a free government cell phone so you can call for help when you fall into a massive sink hole? How does that solve our infrastructure problem?Well, even the apolitical, sometimes liberal, sometimes conservative citizen can see through the smoke and mirrors of the big .gov. I swear, there is hope to make her into a conservative / libertarian yet!

China = America?
Can someone tell me what is wrong with this picture? Is it SOP to fly another country's flag on par with the Stars and Stripes when their president is here on an official state visit?
Either way, putting the ChiComms on equal footing to our country is not only disgusting, but encourages them to maintain their unfair trade practices and deplorable human rights abuses. Of course, when you are a Communist and trying to create socialist utopia here in the United States, what do you care about bowing down to ideology that most Americans dislike at best and absolutely despise on the whole.

Pres Obama Not to Meet Karzai in A-stan
When the President hops on AF1, it isn't always advertised, especially for security reasons.
However, when he hops on AF1 to fly to Afghanistan to schmooze with the troops (God Bless them, and I hope none of them have to put up with his royal pompousness for too long), the question needs to be asked why the president isn't meeting with the president of the occupied country. Perhaps Wikileaks is downing the President's leverage for diplomacy and schmoozing of foreign dignitaries? Or is the incompetent one, just not that smart?

Preisdent's Annual Back to School Address
Seem that this year B.O. is delivering his BB (big brother) speech to the school kiddies , and I say "Kudos Mr. President!" It is clear from the debate off of the Dagger's article that we have the most divisive president ever. Forget Bush, he was for pansies! Even though he drug us into two wars (one legitimate and one not so much) and spurned some really messed up legislation upon us (Patriot act), for the most part he was just the same as Clinton. High spending, high borrowing, moderately high taxes, government handouts, contracts for "friends," really just another politician.
Did Bush have his cool-aid drinkers? Absolutely! However, he also had a lot of detractors on the conservative side that disliked his social agenda and big government intrusions. As one can see from the debate, there is a very stark contrast between those who oppose big government and those who are the counter-revolutionaries that support big government. Even the act of a benign back to school address is now so politically charged that educators feel the need to throw their clout around and show their true liberal colors.
I get that some messages need to be drilled into certain children in an effort to mold them into productive members of society. Others are lost causes and will never be reached. Additionally, I realize that our nation has often looked up to men of great stature for guidance on tough subjects. Please keep in mind the messenger should never over shadow the message, and that's what we are after here; the message. We want every school child to work hard, stay in school and learn as much as possible every single day. A politician who uses a questionably captive audience does not achieve the same response that structural reinforcement from educators and administrators, or more importantly parents and mentors, do on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
By President Obama delivering this message, parents are absolved from their responsibility for being engaged in the development of their children. Reliance upon the state for morality and values, even those which are admirable traits associated with the civil society, perpetuates a breakdown of the traditional societal structure that promotes freedom and liberty. Denigrating the family nucleolus is a not only a key to the success of the statist, but the direct implosion that causes family members to be pitted against one another is a powerful tool for agenda advancement. If we allow our politicians to infiltrate the halls of education (which has been done for the last 50 years through the use of their proxy educators), we have the exact pitting of children against parents that Orwell illustrates so successfully in 1984.
The detractors are already say, "But isn't this a bit drastic." Of course it is, but is it real? With the division we see amongst community members in the linked article, is it really hard to imagine this ulterior motive to be so accurate? Kudos to the president for wanting to trumpet that kind of work hard message (if that is all that it is), but it really is unwarranted in the tradition and history of the USA’s liberty minded people. Like most government interventions, the civil society does not need it's governmental Big Brother to deliver morality and civil society messages to us on a daily, weekly, or even annual basis. The civil society, when left alone is quite good at taking care of itself. We in the country class have done and will continue to do a good job of taking care of the problems (or un-problems) that are present in life.
In short, does it really matter if President Obama makes a speech to school kiddies as they return to their classrooms and course work? Probably not, but in this case Mercury completely overwhelms his dispatch by his mere presence, and that is what we should be focusing on; the message.
