   Is nothing his fault. Is he God

   The Fed’s holdings of U.S. government debt have increased by 257 percent since President Barack Obama was first inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2009, and the Fed is currently the single largest holder of U.S. government debt.

   Predictable: Medicaid expansion will cause massive doctor shortage in CA

   LA Times:

   There aren’t enough doctors to treat a crush of newly insured patients.

   Some lawmakers want to fill the gap by redefining who can provide healthcare.

   Not only P.A.’s & N.P.s , these lawmakers want” pharmacists and optometrists to act as primary care providers, diagnosing and managing some chronic illnesses, such as diabetes and high-blood pressure.”

   That should work out well ! ( Sarcasm intended)

   I spent some time this morning watching a little of Fox news, CNN and MSNBC.

   Both CNN and MSNBC used the news of the pope stepping down to hammer the problems in the Roman Catholic Church.

   All covered briefly the State of the Union address.
   Fox news basically wondered if Obama was going to talk at length about job creation and the economy or if he would skim over them and focus more on immigration and other social issues.
   CNN said Obama was going to focus on job creation and the economy.
   MSNBC didn’t talk about Obama and decided to focus on Senator Marco Rubio. They painted Rubio as a flip-flopper. “I wonder which Marco Rubio is going to show up.” One of the MSNBC personalities stated. Again, MSNBC can’t say good things about Obama, they have to make things up about a republican.

   The ads on CNN and MSNBC were mostly local cable news. MSNBC had local car dealers ad, dental work ad, Aflac ad and four different online college ads. The Morning Joe is sponsored by Starbucks. (No surprise seeing that the company’s founders and CEO are extreme left wingers.) However when a show is sponsored, the sponsor has a lot of control over what is said and what is covered. (Side note: My daughter a Starbucks lover, don’t realize how left wing the founders were until today. She told me to stop buying Starbucks coffee for her. It made my smile that she realized that consumers do have power.)

   Commercials on Fox news were all national ads. BMW, Ford Fusion Hybrid, Lexus and Audi car ads. A few home loan ads and two drug ads.

   Liberal didn’t like what Dr. Benjamin Solomon Carson, Sr had to say at the Pray breakfast, so they have to tell everyone he shouldn’t have said it at the pray breakfast. I say, it’s about time a republican bends the rules. We don’t get the Podium often and we need to make the most of it every time we do.

   You know you live in a Country run by idiots if…
   Your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions
   Of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more of
   our money.

   There seems to be a disconnect between who the advertisers think MSNBC’s audience is and who MSNBC itself had bragged about for years (upscale influential decision-makers).

   If Obama is a super intellect why wouldn’t he show anyone his college transcripts? Can you prove this super intellect with an IQ test? He didn’t score high on any of his standardized college entry tests because that data is tracked by Mensa and they have no records for him. These would include his LSAT.

   Neither a political science degree nor a law degree requires that economic classes be taken, so where did Obama get his outstanding knowledge of this subject?

   Please respond with facts and the links to your proof.

    Cathy–seriously, you haven’t fallen for the that far right wing fringe line about Obama’s transcripts, have you? You wouldn’t know Einstein if he walked up to you…. Most people on this blog couldn’t pass a GED…. And Cathy, you couldn’t tell me what part Green’s Theorem plays in the proof of Stokes’ Theorem…and you supposedly have had math…..

    @AppleStinx. I was shocked by the ads being run. It was 8:00 am – 10:00 am. It looked to me like MSNBC sold this time cheap to Comcast (that’s my local cable company) to run local ads. So, for the Detroit area the advertisers believe the MSNBC viewer in the morning doesn’t have a college degree and buy cheaper cars.

    I think I’ll look at the ads during prime time on MSNBC tonight. I know Fox News ads are mostly BMW, Land Rover, Investment banks, Home loans and travel ads. During the day Fox news does have a lot of buy gold ads, Medicare ads, reverse mortgage ads, drug ads and senior citizens ads.

    A typical liberal when you have no proof, attack. Where are the transcripts to prove how smart he is, USA8888?

    @Cathy

    Speaking of TV ads, I have seen one – forgot which channel(s) – where a Native-American woman offers loans of $K to “solve your problems”. In the small print is something like 80+% APR!! If there’s the ad, then there must be a target audience on the other side that may be desperate enough. It’s crazy.

    Deficit Reduction Rises on Public’s Agenda for Obama’s Second Term

    PEW POLL

    When Barack Obama took office four years ago, reducing the budget deficit was a middle-tier item on the public’s agenda. Only about half of Americans (53%) viewed it as a top policy priority in January 2009, placing it ninth on a list of 20 policy goals.

    But as Obama begins his second term, only the economy and jobs are viewed as more important priorities for the coming year. Currently, 72% say that reducing the budget deficit should be a top priority, up 19 points from four years ago

    Public’s Policy Priorities 2013

    % saying top priority for President & congress

    Strengthening the economy 86%

    Improving job situation 79%

    Reducing budget deficit 72%

    Defending against terrorism 71%

    Making S.S. $ sound 70%

    Improving education 70%

    Making Medicare $ sound 65%

    Reducing healthcare costs 63%

    Helping poor/needy 57%

    Reducing crime 55%

    Redo the tax code 52%

    on & on they go. Gun laws is # 18 & global warming is last

    I’ve seen that too. Do you know that only a Native-American bank can offer a loan at those outrageous rates? Federal regulations do not apply to Native-American businesses.

    As for the target audience, half of the people are on the left side of the bell curve.

    DD–how many times do I have to tell you that job creation and reducing spending are inverse propositions during a bad recession or depression?? first, you work on job creation…and you DON’T do it by drastically cutting spending!!!!!!!
