Comic for August 20, 2012:

the very presence of obama and his wacky, communist nature is killing the markets as liberals divert your attention to arab's in the middle-east killing our people

since the obama administration has gone to so much trouble planning riots and even causing unplanned deaths in the middle-east to make sure the media is not covering what the fed did, i need to make sure i explain it to everyone.  i've heard numbers ranging from $40 billion to $80 billion but with those big numbers what difference does it make.

each month, the federal reserve will buy mortgage debt.  they won't actually buy the house or lien attached to it.  they are buying bonds that have a higher standing than the lien..so if they have to, they can take the house..but probably won't.  they aren't in the home ownership business.  they're in the putting us in debt business.  fnma and gnma will still continue to own the paper (lien).

these billions of dollars given to fnma etc are supposed to end up with lenders.  lenders are then supposed to loan to people so they can buy houses.  when people buy houses...that's supposed to crank start the house building industry.  the house building industry is one of the "true" leading indicator's of how well the economy is doing.  another is the stock market and several others.

however, if the history of the last four years is any clue of what will happen it probably will.  the other boosts given that were supposed to do this (qe1 and qe2, not even including the stimulus) went to banks.  due to strict obama administration regulations and uncertainty caused by the wacky policies administered by the obama administration...banks and other industries have been reluctant to lend.

the money they took in, they put it in the stock market.  wall street traders love this.  they will make tons of money trading.  people who have 401k's and other retirement investors tied to the stock market, will also see an increase in their portfolio's.  one thing though.  none of it is real.  the banks are just parking the money there until certainty returns and then they'll pull it out and start lending.

the problem?  obama's still in office.  certainty will not return and qe3 will end up back in the stock market again.  that's why the stock market did so well today.  everyone that knows whats about to happen thanks to qe3, is rushing to get back in to the stock market like hogs to the trough.  another reason besides uncertainty for banks and lenders to not loan is because people will not be able to borrow due to bad credit issues, job issues and their own amount of personal uncertainty.

many won't take the risk of buying now.  the money will be parked in the stock market.  when obama leaves office...it will be taken out of the stock market and the stock market will drop to where it should be.  401k portfolio's will also drop.  the party will be over on wall street...just as the party is starting back up on main street and won't that be nice.  just the very presence of obama and his wacky, communist nature is killing the markets...all of them.

the thought of 9/11 not a bitter-sweet one....

when i think about bitter-sweet moments in my life it's usually when i'm reflecting on a photo-album moment like the birth and childhood of my children and how i miss those days.  i miss not being able to pick them up and hold them, i miss the moments when they made me so proud that i could cry.  those are the sweet moments that are mixed in with the bitter ones that i experienced during and after my divorce with their mother...how i missed them so much and how i wished that i had made better decisions that could have kept me in their lives more than i was during the time that they were growing up.

those were the bitter moments that i experienced in the memories of my kids growing up and turning into fine college educated, responsible young adults.  then, combine that with knowing that these experiences have led me down the path to who and where i am now.  a path that has taken me where i would not have gone otherwise...meeting people i would otherwise not have met.  bitter-sweet moments.  life is full of them.  september 11, 2001 was not one of them.  there was nothing "bitter-sweet" about 9/11.  i can think of a thousand adjectives but none of them would come close to being bitter-sweet.

tragic, horrible, un-explainable and evil would first come to mind, not what vice president joe biden called it today.  he called 9/11 a "bitter-sweet"  moment.  when i heard that it left a knot in my stomach.  it took me back to that day when the people trapped in the towers, ultimately had to make a decision of whether to be burned alive or jump, knowing that they would be killed.  it took me back to the horrors of imagining that it is was me on flight 93 knowing that something had to be done to stop the people that had hijacked the plane and that something would probably result in my death as the plane violently raced towards the ground at 500 mph.

that thought is not a bitter-sweet one...it both frightens and saddens me because i know that "there go i but for the grace and mercy of god."  in the past, i've made jokes about some of the gaffe's that biden has made...but today, what he said was no laughing matter.  such a serious and somber occasion as 9/11 deserves to be honored and revered only by serious and somber leaders...of which we have neither.  with president obama, we have a leader who i learned today has once again slighted our friends and allies in israel, turning down a request for a meeting with israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu as well as arrogantly ignoring the speed with which he is driving our country into a point of no return with our economy, national security and standing in the world.

now, this.  the comment by a vice-president that is no laughing matter but a tragedy because as vice-president this man is only a heartbeat away from being a world leader.  another bitter-sweet thought for me is having a real president and vice-president...people who take their roles as world leaders with the seriousness, sobriety and concern for it's citizens that such a role requires and deserves.

something has been bothering me for awhile now. none of this made any sense. you have democrats who are growing government rapidly while at the same time, killing the private sector...intentionally. let me give you a scenario. 

normally, our government worked best when things were growing. if you have a lot of private business going on, the government taxes them at a decent rate and gets more to

operate and then the government grows to keep up with serving those private businesses. that's how it's supposed to work.

conversely, if you have a humongous government and private business is not growing and expanding, the government has less tax money coming in and then has to borrow. when the government borrows a lot then the dollar goes down in value and the interest rate on the borrowing goes up.

the people who are in private business or already unemployed get poorer. this is not sustainable because eventually not only will the government not have enough tax dollars coming in to operate if it's so bloated...the constant borrowing will eventually get them cut off from borrowing from other countries and the federal reserve who've been loaning the government money.

why would the democrats want to do this? a freshman student in economics would understand what i've just explained. so i know other democrat politicians understand this even if pres. obama doesn't? over the last few years, i've asked myself, "where will they go if they destroy our country? where will they raise their families for generations to come?" they couldn't possibly want to take it down completely.

regrettably i thought, maybe just to take it down to rebuild it the way that they see fit, be it communist or otherwise. however, today, it dawned on me. their intentions are not to rebuild it. their intentions are to auction it off to whoever gives "them" the best deal and the only country's that could afford to take on 315 million people is russia or china and they both happen to be communist just like frank.

whoever got us, would not have to fire a single shot. if our nation is destroyed economically...we will all be too poor to stop them. our constitution will have been trampled, our military decimated and secrets shared between russia and china. should president obama win his bid for re-election, communism is right around the corner.

in my humble opinion, they are merely keeping us distracted with muslims, jihad and so many other things. i'm sure that if frank marshall davis is looking up (not down)...he would be very proud of his son. obama may just have brokered the biggest deal in the world.

Obama campaign implies Romney's concern about 'God off our coins' is wacky

Obama campaign implies Romney's concern about 'God off our coins' is wacky:
The Obama campaign is mocking Mitt Romney’s moment of unrestrained patriotism -- or his subtle jab -- this weekend when he said he would not “take God off our coins.”

if frank marshall davis is looking up (not down)...he would be very proud of his son.

Ryan ridicules Dems, quotes journalist: 'They were against God before they were for him.': COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan is ridiculing Democrats for the floor fight that erupted at their national convention over restoring references to God and Jerusalem as Israel's capital to the official party platform.
"They cut references to God out of their platform," Ryan said to a chorus of boos during a rally
