WTF.

Condolences to those who loved him and miss him.

The walking Communist corpse has come out in defense of Barack Obama. Isn’t it fascinating that America’s enemies and the American left always see things the same way? Remember all the commies, dictators and terrorists who thought Obama would be a better president than McCain? Looks like they still believe it. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY.

HAVANA (Reuters) – President Barack Obama is trying to make positive changes in the United States, but is being fought at every turn by right-wingers who hate him because he is black, former Cuban leader Fidel Castro said on Tuesday.

"I don’t have the slightest doubt that the racist right will do everything possible to wear him down, blocking his program to get him out of the game one way or another, at the least political cost," he said.

Now I get to buy your new fridge

A $300 million cash-for-clunkers-type federal program to boost sales of energy-efficient home appliances provides a glimmer of hope for beleaguered makers of washing machines and dishwashers, but it’s probably not enough to lift companies such as Whirlpool (WHR) and Electrolux out of the worst down cycle in the sector’s history.

Beginning late this fall, the program authorizes rebates of $50 to $200 for purchases of high-efficiency household appliances. The money is part of the broader economic stimulus bill passed earlier this year. Program details will vary by state, and the Energy Dept. has set a deadline of Oct. 15 for states to file formal applications. The Energy Dept. expects the bulk of the $300 million to be awarded by the end of November. (Unlike the clunkers auto program, consumers won’t have to trade in their old appliances.)

Unreal. Spending money we don’t have to get people to buy appliances they don’t need.

(I define “need” by the old-fashioned idea that people would be buying them if they needed them even if the government wasn’t subsidizing their purchase.)

Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit.

Return of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy

President Obama took to the conservative airwaves Thursday to charge that Republican leaders are engaged in a vast right-wing conspiracy to kill health care reform in order to repeat the 1994 mid-term takeover of Congress, which followed the defeat of President Clinton’s reform plan.

Yes, yes there is. In the same way that there’s a left-wing conspiracy to force us into government health care, there’s a right-wing conspiracy to stop it.

Pick your side.
