This is the face of one of Obama’s core constituencies.
This is what you voted for when you voted for “hope and change.”
He can’t even curse creatively.

Obama and the lunatic left
KUHNER: Obama and the lunatic left - Washington Times
Any reasonable person would change course - but not Mr. Obama.
He is a big-government liberal who worships at the altar of statism.
The fact that we are broke and can no longer afford his borrow-and-spend policies means nothing.
Like all fanatics, he is disconnected from reality

Taxpayers deserve more information about public employee contracts
Viewpoint: Taxpayers deserve more information about public employee contracts MLive.com
Some recent union contract specifics might be of interest to those who will be paying for the contracts:
A union contract approved by the county board last February included an increase of four paid days off that brought the total paid days off for senior employees to 58. Yes, that's 58 paid days off for the year.
You might note that we have 52 weeks in a year.
Or that 58 days is almost 3 months of work days.

Wind Farms, Renewable Portfolio Standard
Wind Farms, Renewable Portfolio Standard [Mackinac Center]
The Michigan Legislature created the inevitable land use conflicts by passing a requirement that at least 10 percent of electricity come from renewable sources.
The renewable energy standard was bad policy when it was passed and Michigan residents are just starting to experience the negative consequences of the legislation.
Michigan legislators should repeal the renewable energy standard
Classic bad government.
Create the problem.
Demonize those who were hurt.
Make the problem worse.
Everyone loses except those with tight political connections.
Gimme a break!

Obama blows another billion on green fantasies
KEENE: Obama blows another billion on green fantasies - Washington Times
You see, Mr. Chu and his boss have been there and done that already in California, using tax money to guarantee a massive investment in a company that was going to help usher in a brave, new and a very green world.
That company, Solyndra, declared bankruptcy not 48 hours after Mr. Chu announced his faith in Genesis. Solyndra’s founders managed to procure and eat up roughly half a billion dollars in federally guaranteed loans without making a penny in profit before declaring bankruptcy.

Bernanke puzzled by weak consumer spending
My Way News - Bernanke puzzled by weak consumer spending
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said he's surprised by how cautious consumers have been in the two years since the recession officially ended.
But the Fed chief offered no hints of any steps the Fed would take to boost the weak economy.
Good God, we're led by idiots!

State launches $2.4 million Pure Michigan fall campaign
State launches $2.4 million Pure Michigan fall campaign MLive.com#comments
This week, the state's nearly $2.4 million Pure Michigan fall campaign will hit the airwaves.
The television and radio ads, including seven partner ads, will air regionally and statewide through early October.
The tall ad budget includes $295,000 in funding committed by private sector partners as part of the Travel Michigan Ad Partnership Program
I love the ads and I hear they are effective.
But why is the state funding ads for private businesses?
If the ads are so effective, why wouldn't the private companies run own?
And save the state the money of producing them?
