You either pay attention or pay through the nose. I would rather pay attention.
Are Americans getting OfficiallyScrewed?
More than 4.7 million Americans had their health insurance canceled as a result of any of the thousand-plus-page law’s new rules, the Associated Press reports, but the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) confirmed Tuesday that between federal and state exchanges, just 2 million Americans have signed up for Obamacare coverage.
Just because it’s well done and talks about being “screwed” this one gets on the site.
A photo is worth a thousand words.
Are my American friends feeling OfficiallyScrewed?
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released over 150 emails that show both President Obama and Vice President Biden were applying pressure big time. Here are some quotes.
“I am growing increasingly worried about a fast track process imposed on us at the POTUS level based on this chaotic process that we are undergoing…by designing the fast track process and having it approved at the POTUS level (which is an absolute waste of his time!) it legitimizes every element and it becomes embedded like the 55% recovery rate which also was imposed by POTUS.”
“You better let him know that WH wants to move Abound forward. Policy will have to wait unless they have a specific policy problem with abound.”
“Pressure is on real heavy on SF [Shepherds Flat] due to interest from VP.”
The whole story is just coming out but it can’t be good for the Obama/Biden ticket.
Read more about it here and here.
Methinks the American taxpayer got OfficiallyScrewed.
I know there are those who dispute the validity of the birth certificate. I know there are conspiracy theorists. But I guess if someone in the position of Sheriff conducts a formal investigation, it should at least be made public and then disputed or not disputed. Prepare yourself for an hour of interesting information to say the least that questions the validity of the Birth Certificate that was presented as that of Barack Obama.

Is President Obama OfficiallyScrewed?
Someone at The Looking Spoon must have had us in mind when they posted this photo. We at OfficiallyScrewed.com wholeheartedly agree.
There’s an old sea story about a ship’s Captain who inspected his sailors, and afterward told the first mate that his men smelled bad.
The Captain suggested perhaps it would help if the sailors would change underwear occasionally.
The first mate responded, “Aye, aye sir, I’ll see to it immediately!”
The first mate went straight to the sailors berth deck and announced, “The Captain thinks you guys smell bad and wants you to change your underwear.”
He continued, “Pittman, you change with Jones; McCarthy, you change with Witkowski; and Brown, you change with Schultz.”
THE MORAL OF THE STORY:
Someone may come along and promise “Change”, but don’t count on things smelling any better.
In 2006, he called it “a sign of leadership failure”.
He said it was a “sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay it’s own bills.”
And finally, he voted against raising the debt ceiling in 2006 and did not even bother to vote in 2007 or 2008.
But now that he is POTUS, Barack Obama wants to raise the debt ceiling.
Talk about being OfficiallyScrewed!!!

Stuart Varney used this graphic today. (I cellphone snapped a photo of the screen to produce the image below). It compares two presidents, Reagan and Obama, both of whom inherited recessions and high unemployment. The blue line indicates unemployment rates under Reagan’s presidency and the red line under Obama’s.
Varney was clear that the difference between the two is that Reagan focussed on private sector revitalization and Obama has been focussed on public sector stimulus.

In an unprecedented successful stimulus story, the glorious city of angels has created or retained a whopping 55 jobs!
“I’m disappointed that we’ve only created or retained 55 jobs after receiving $111 million,” said Wendy Greuel, the city’s controller.
For you math buffs out there, that’s just a little over $2,000,000 per job created.
So why do I feel that this is a success and not a complete and utter failure?
Because L.A. is full of movie stars and musicians. Even Forbes states that from 2008 to 2009 the top 15 celebrities earned a combined and astronomical $1.6 BILLION, thus averaging almost $107 Million per person. So $2 Million per job seems like a bargain doesn’t it? Well doesn’t it??
Now the next time you see a famous star slamming the politics of the right and promoting the politics of the left, pay attention. They make a sick amount of dough compared to you and they know better than you.
<facetiousness off>
Could they not have just paid each of these 55 bozos $100,000 each and saved $105.5 Million?
American Tax Payers … OfficiallyScrewed … again.
