What happened to all of the doom and gloom economic threads?

[richard_daily]

Did veteman fall asleep? Wha' happened?

When I saw the cover photograph of Valerie Jarrett, I was reminded of the school fight song referring to "Stanford Red." I am quite dismayed that this radical leftist is featured ("I Want Her Inside the White House," September/October). She is, as you might recall, the one who recruited the self-avowed communist, Van Jones, to be part of President Obama's inner circle. [Jones was special advisor on green jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality from March 2009 until his resignation in September.]

How timely to see Valerie Jarrett on the cover. You have highlighted the woman who has just been exposed as one of the most vocal advocates for Van Jones, an avowed communist and public supporter of a cop-killing murderer [death row prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal], now exposed and removed from government.

Lots more on the Chicago slum queen, Obama "adviser". Google can be your friend.

So, she supported a supposed "extremist" so that makes her an "extremist", huh?
Great logic.

Do you guys all share a brain?

Any links to her supporting Mumia?

Miss Jarrett is a lot of things, but she's certainly not an extremist... and I'm not sure I'd consider the 'stanford alumni .org' website to be a credible newsworthy source.

(those are just some letters to the editior, not the best news source)

Van Jones served in the administration for like three months. He had some extremist positions on things, yes. He went down swinging though. One of his organizations highlighted Glenn Beck's comments that "Obama has a deep-seeded hatred for white people and white culture" on the Fox and Friends show. Fox News lost millions because of it and it (arguably) started the chain of events that led to Beck being let go.

Regardless, Valarie Jarret doesn't appear to support his extremist positions at all.

Doesn't matter though. She still deserves an up-or-down vote according to every single Republican leader in the Senate. That's the Republican mantra - every single nominee gets an up or down vote.

Period.

I'm on iggy, how would you know about the letters, MORON.

Obama says he doesn’t make a decision without her, and Jarrett described her relationship with the president by saying, “We have kind of a mind meld.” That’s scary, since she recruited Van Jones, Regulation Czar Cass Sunstein, and FCC Chief Diversity Officer Mark Lloyd.[2] Administration staff said without her intervention, white advisers may have rejected “the often-legitimate concerns voiced by black leaders like [Al] Sharpton.” It’s more disturbing yet to explore the claustrophobic social circle of extremists she is facilitating into the White House.

Jarrett owes her secular career in real estate (at a firm called Habitat) to Marilyn Katz, an SDS radical who showed Days of Rage protesters how to fuse nails together to throw at oncoming police officers in 1968 Chicago. She is now a high-powered PR exec for Chi-town government agencies, a 40-year associate of former Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers, and according to Michelle Obama’s biographer, a vibrant part of the Obamas’ social circle. She spent the next 20 years fighting for a socialist “revolution” and promoting groups like the ACLU, Mother Jones, and UAW Local 719.

Kinda resembles Regis.

Jarrett is the chief executive of Habitat Co., which developed and managed large housing projects in and around Chicago -- and in Obama's state legislative district -- that were subsidized by federal and state housing dollars, and which were ultimately seized by federal authorities for what were unlivable conditions. While overseeing the company that managed these housing facilities, Jarrett also worked with long-time Obama friend and convicted felon Tony Rezko in raising money for Obama's political career.

I swear he put you on Iggy today.

A MORON is always easy to run off.

 

[koalabear]

Milbank omits the fact that Jarrett is a left-wing extremist who has served as the chief conduit of the far-Left into the Obama administration — and that she is, unfortunately, the perfect reflection of the president’s and the first lady’s shared values and beliefs.

You jealous lil stud Chihuahua, I notice you spent you weekend here. Trouble finding a date again. Good lil Chihuahua.

The Tea Party calls itself anti-government too.





Misinformed or lying about what? But yeah you're right, that article doesn't really paint her as an extremist at all.

Merc, you wouldn't understand. Your judgment has been compromised.

I'll leave you with this

"Jarrett characterized tea party supporters as anti-government extremists."

You know, first you should all decide whether someone you want to hate is communist Red, eco-terrorist Green or democrat Blue.

They are all one and the same along with fascists and Muslims.

Spamming an NRO blog that I'll never read doesn't count as addressing my points.

That's your problem, you are so sure of yourself that you simply dismiss the opposition, unless, of course, you catch them saying something you think you want to read. Then Zandi is a god...

Alan S. Blinder has all the credentials and accolades which liberal elites crave.* He is a Princeton economics professor, the first member of President Clinton's original Council of Economic Advisers, a former Vice Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve and one of Keynesian economics' staunchest supporters.* Recently in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, he juxtaposed two recent downgrades of the U.S. economy by two different entities in a Keynesian economist's typical way.* Right out of the gate he downplayed and ridiculed the Standard and Poor's downgrade of the sovereign debt of the United States form AAA to AA+ as "not serious" if not "ridiculous."* He chastised the Standard and Poor's assessment, which in reality has more to do with America's massive and ever-growing national debt, as merely a downgrade focusing on "America's politics."***

While passing off the S&P's downgrade as trivial and without merit, and down playing America's unsustainable debt, Blinder focused his attention instead on the Federal Reserve Board's Open Market Committee's recent downgrade of "its near-term assessment of the U.S. economy."* In other words, he believes the words of the Federal Reserve about U.S. economic conditions are much more important than stopping President Obama's reckless spending and accelerated accumulation of debt.* Here we have a Keynesian economist's typical reaction to a very real problem of debt -- spending and debt aren't the problem.

...

But, fear not, for Alan S. Blinder criticizes:* "S&P may not worry much about our struggling economy."*

But, he continues:

...so does Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.* Which brings me to the more serious downgrade. Meeting on Aug. 9, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) downgraded its near-term assessment of the U.S. economy sharply.* Since the Fed's code of conduct mandates the use of Fedspeak instead of English, let me offer a quick translation:* 'Yikes! Things have sure deteriorated quickly!'

Well excuse me, but here is my favorite Keynesian economist admitting that all the Keynesian policies of the Obama Administration (radical deficit spending, huge unprecedented annual deficits and an almost doubling the total debt outstanding by the end of his first term) have been a complete failure.* Thank you Alan S. Blinder for proclaiming the truth about Keynesian economics and the Obama Administration.*
In the light of this true confession, he observes:*

...the FOMC majority was so concerned about the health of our economy that they felt a duty to offer some support to the frail economy and to soothe the nearly panicked financial markets....

So, unless the storm clouds lift quickly, there is probably more easing to come.* That could mean another round of quantitative easing, such as the Federal Reserve buying more Treasury Bonds.

The final hell of Keynesian economics is inflation.* It comes from printing money just like monopoly money.* And quantitative easing is extremely controversial and has never been used on the scale that Ben Bernanke has been doing it in America.* Every time more printed currency is put into circulation, the value of your income and your assets declines.

A current example of destructive inflation of what should be a very wealthy nation is Venezuela with oil reserves perhaps greater than Saudi Arabia.* Venezuela has been suffering from runaway inflation of about 30% for several years.* The "now-dictator" for a year Hugo Chavez prints money and takes over companies in the private sector to distribute benefits to his chosen followers.* And so, Venezuela cannot even produce enough coffee for domestic consumption, and the Venezuelan economy continues to collapse.

On August 9, the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee was conflicted as never before in history about a call for two more years of unprecedentedly low interest rates and the prospect of another round of quantitative easing and printing more money.

This is not brilliant or creative, but pure Keynesian Socialist doctrine on how to destroy the value of our currency and assets.* But, because of his ideology, Mr. Blinder remains blind to it.

I love the game the libs are playing.

If you say it, it's because you are stupid.
If they say it, it's because they are smart.
If you post it, no matter the source, it's biased "blog" propaganda.
If they post it, it's "independent" fact...

I think I'm with the rest of you, when they post stuff, I read it. That's how I went from Democrat to Libertarian; my side had nothing but ad hominem and mantra for argument.

The funny thing is, again, that all their experts keep getting it wrong and act surprised at "unexpected" numbers while the sources we cite keep getting closer to the the reality of what is our economy. I'm sorry, but a curious and engaged mind would want to understand why that is.

Since the eco-movement is where the Communists gravitated towards with the fall of the Soviet Union and subsequently became the darlings of the Socialist wing of the Democrat party, you're demanding some might fine parsing there...
