President Barak Obama AKA Barry Soetoro came out decisively behind the labor unions stating that he would put on the most comfortable pair of shoes he owns and march with the protesters. He stated emphatically that he supported the working middle class. It is amazing the difference millions of dollars in union campaign contributions makes when considering the plight of American workers.
Of course Barry made no mention of the 7 million private sector workers that have lost their jobs, their homes, and finally their unemployment when they became 99ers. You see Barry knows there is discontent out there. He believes that in embracing the unions he can gain the support of the unemployed, which in truth is where the real numbers are. In fact I believe the only way Barry can be elected for a second term is if 99ers vote him back in.
Every middle class worker in the private sector is going to vote against Barry and every union member is going to vote for him. The fact is the voters in the private sector have substantially more numbers than those in the public sector. Therefore in truth the vote of the unemployed is the decider in the election.
Barry has emphatically and undeniably denied the plight of the 99ers and the long term unemployed without exception. It is not economically feasible for him and the social democrats to buy our vote. And on the flip side it is not economically feasible for the neo-con republicans to buy our vote either.
We are going to decide this next election and neither party is going to court us because in order to gain our loyalty they would have to give us back our jobs and this is diametrically opposed to the end goals of both. The fact is between now and 2012 they intend to make a lot more 99ers come into existence.
Who would have thought such a situation would ever exist in this country, wherein a voting bloc that will decide the election is not going to be courted because those in power are hell bent on its destruction.
So Barry has gone to Plan B and that is to let a third party secure the vote of the unemployed with not only not having to make a single promise, but not having to so much as acknowledge our existence. We cannot fall for this. We must continue to register non-partisan to create a clear distinction between the 99ers, the Tea Party, and the unions.
We must let them know that we will use our votes to attack their power structure that has been causing our misery. If that means nothing more than voting out every incumbent again then that is what we’ll do.
That includes you, Barry. The labor unions are not going to save you from our wrath. If you want to stand any chance of being a second term president you had better put on your comfortable shoes and sashay your ass out in front of a microphone and tell the world that you are signing an executive order, taking the $20 billion the corporate farmers are to be paid not to grow crops in 2011, and using it instead to finance an unemployment extension for the 99ers.
And then when you are done doing that you can sign another executive order getting rid of NAFTA, CAFTA, and GATT and ordering American business to bring the $1 trillion they have stashed in off-shore accounts back to the United States to be taxed under threat of imprisonment if they refuse.
You can then sign another executive order getting rid of the Patriot Act, Homeland Security, FEMA, TSA, and every other agency that has been created to spy on and probe the arses of the American people.
And then pick of that red phone and tell your good friends in China, India, and South Korea that you are not going to be able to pay off on the Ponzi scheme and that you will be moving our industrial base back to the United States. That means no more foreigners manufacturing our natural resources.
If you will not do these things, this 99er will not vote for you. And as you are not going to do these things it might be best if you go ahead and start packing up in preparation for your return home to Chicago or Hawaii or Indonesia or Kenya or where ever in the hell you came from.
Make sure you sign in and push the “I support this bill” button at Open Congress for HR 589.
I HAVE BEEN UNEMPLOYED FOR OVER 2 YEARS. MY HUSBAND WAS HOSPITI
LIZED FOR A FEW MONTHS. THIS HAS BEEN A REAL STRUGGLE FOR US. 14 WEEKS OF UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE WOULD SURE GIVE US A LITTLE ROOM TO BREATHE.
Obama is a BOLD FACE LIAR and I regret voting for him. He continues to ignore the 99ers and he is now trying to harness the gay/lesbian vote. This guy is an Uncle Tom whos needs to be voted out. Oh all you 99ers out there, don’t forget to continue eating a healthy diet and remain “resilient”. (collective messages from Barry, his wife and Biden)
Donald trump said it best. Unemployment is really 18-20 percent.
Great article. I worry that people are going to think that because Obama supports the union workers, he also supports the 99ers. I don’t just worry about it I know that it is a fact — the other day I was talking with a lady in the grocery store. Her remark was “Obama is for the union and also for the 99ers”. Thank God he is on our side. I said hell no he is not. I had a lot more to say but after a while I noticed she was looking at me as if I had two heads so I ended the conversation with have a nice day.
Henry, people do not understand. I think that is our biggest problem. They just accept information as if the government would never tell a lie. I think if they really understood we would have no problem getting people to join us in our rally.
Barbara,
You are absolutely correct point on point, but the people are going to change as, though propaganda will feed a week mind, it will not stop a hungry stomach from growling. We must continue to confront our enemies and the ignorant at every instant and in every venue.
Of course I know you will never give up. God bless.
In late fall 2010 there was14 million plus unemployed and 5 million plus 99ers, NOW there are 12 million unemployed and 7 million 99ers and growing. What the current administration does NOT understand is that the 35 million unemployed / underemployed make up a sizeable voting block and neither party can with without their support. Perhaps now is the time for a third party candidate that will shake up Washington and give the power back to the people and reign in / stop the raping of the working class by the Wall Street thugs
WHAT? People are judging us because we can find a job? Oh my gosh, it is hard enough just trying to deal with the stress and disappointment of no income and the stress of looking for a job and not finding one. Why would people do that????! I don’t understand at all. I’ve been a good person all my life and because I can’t find a job that makes me a bad person? This makes me so sad. Thanks for making me cry.
Karrie — Don’t worry about these people who try to judge us. In the end they will be the ones judged. Some people are just plain mean and others are ignorant as to what is really going on. I am sure you are a good person so don’t let the mean people get to you. We are getting stronger everyday. My prayers are with you and your family.
Help Stop The Political Traitors In Congress & End Illegal Politics In The U.S
Corrupted traitor politicians have become the new “Domestic Terrorists “ in the USA. We must organize & mobilize as a nation now because the U.S is on the path to being taken over by illegal immigrant and terrorist by 2011. Media black outs & Internet censoring or site blocking in the U.S is already being tested and a bill is up for a vote. What’s next to be taken away, freedom of speech and the right to bear arms? Beware crooked businesses, politicians, and other trader illegal immigrant supports will push congress & Obama to vote to yes on an amnesty bill this year to allow the continued invasion of over 30 million illegal immigrants. Most of who are habitual lawbreakers, uneducated, criminals, terrorists, gang members, pedophiles, prostitutes, and drug users/dealers. Illegal Immigrant and supporters steal money, use violence, and make terrorist threats to people who oppose amnesty or want laws enforced. Defense budgets and military bases all over the country are closing down. Wake up U.S citizens! We do not need more illegal’s joining the military. We have the draft and Militia’s in law for emergency or invasion. Why are our military soldiers dispatched all over the world? Not to protect us, but to protect big corporations and the rich over seas. Your current lawmakers have sold us out to foreign nations, private investors and the poor south of our border. The plan is to replace us with illegal immigrants then leave legal U.S citizens broke, hungry and defenseless to be taken over by rich and poor foreigners with bad intension. Citizens born in the United States are the target of elimination and are slowly being pushed out of the workforce to be left broke and dry. Illegal immigrants in the U.S earn an average income of $30,000 per yr with no papers, elementary diploma, high school diploma, or college degree. This is our regional land and the citizens born of it have a physical & spiritual oath to preserve or defend it at all cost. A fact is illegal immigrants hate U.S citizens; many raise their kids to be lawbreakers, criminals and to support terrorism in the USA like there parents. This Dream Act and any for of amnesty is a breach of national security and must be stopped now. The people do not have to accept this treason or any new laws or legislation that supports foreigners before it’s own legal citizens. So if you prefer to keep living a lie and are too scared, lazy, blind to truth or have no will to defend the soil you were born on to help citizens & people in need… Then don’t follow us at http://usmoa.org/

Don’t forget to call Calderon of Mexico and tell him we are sending his people back and all US visa holders should be on the next plane out of the US. Visa’s expired!
Henry, I follow your comments and as usual you make a good point. Unfortunately, I had a hard time following what you were saying due to the disrespect – calling President Obama Barry. I wouldn’t underestimate him. The web of politics is a strong one and takes finesse to get through.
That said doesn’t mean I am not ready to explode with anger at how little regard our leaders have for us – but I can’t yet blame it on Obama though. What confuses me though is that even though I understand we are a nation of checks and balances, what good does it do to even have a president if his power is usurped by numbers even if the numbers destroy our country. He has to intervene and show us that our president is more than just a figurehead.
Laura Gibson,
Go http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAaQNACwaLw, download and watch “The Obama Deception” and then come back and tell me if you can still defend Barry.
The facts are: Corporations/companies love the current situation. The more desperate, unemployed and underemployed people, the more leverage they have for offering low wages and keeping the employed people in check. It’s a win-win. They sit on loads of money they can use abroad (legally or not), they got all the tax breaks and loopholes desired. The couldn’t care less about states being broke or the budget deficit, since they can live anywhere. Being American is useful to them as long as the dollar still matters. As long as there is a labor force in this world they can use, they are happy. As long as there are people who dream of living here and buy into the American dream, they’re happy.
It’s a revolving door, recycling – in with the naive, the immigrants, the young, out with the older, experienced, sick, Americans.
The hell with us; we are cattle and are only useful as pawns. We really have no voice and this democracy is an illusion.
Well, I am Doing all that I can to find work in a nonexistant employment state. I am contacting my reps. and praying for someone to see what is going on and try to help all of us who through no fault of our own are still unemployed, homeless and depressed to the third power.
Hello fellow 99ers, it’s about time that we realize that we can’t trust the Dumbocrats or Republicunts and start our own party “the 99ers” just like the “Tea Party ” fanatics of recent. Obama has been bought and sold just like every President before him. We need someone who is not rich and understands what we 99ers are going through. The Government is testing us to the limit to see how we would react by calling us lazy bums, drug-users etc…it is only fair that I change their party names on purpose to show my frustrations and feelings of betrayal. They have to lie to protect themselves by announcing that there is a slow recovery and the unemplyment rate is at an all time low since Obama became President. Why are we a danger to the current administration? It is because we are the living proof that the US Government is a big failure in its own handling of the domestic affairs. Keep in mind that both the Dumbocrats and Republicunts are one and the same, just different names to keep it amusing by tricking all you voters into thinking that you really have a choice when in fact it is all about controlling. I say we 99ers should not vote for either party come 2012 unless there is a third choice but that candidate would likely be assassinated should he be elected as President. Let us come up with a strategy to defeat Congress by testing their breaking point as they did onto us. Obama is nothing more than a puppet and won’t help us 99ers because it is an unpopular thing to do. Do you folks know that just about all my friends, relatives and neighbours have no idea what a 99er is? They thought that it’s the new upgraded name for that football team in San Francisco or someone who is into kinky sexual positions? We need the world ( not just the USA) to know that the real unemployment rate is closer to 30% because when you count the current rate of 8.9% (I doubt that this rate is even accurate, just look at the last vote count in Florida for Bush’s re-election) then you add nearly 10 plus % of all the unemployed folks who first receive UIB back in 2007 to 2008 are all 99ers except for a few who are now underemployed. Don’t forget the folks who were self-employed or independent contractor (Real estate, sales etc…) make up another 8 to 9 % not counting all the illegal aliens who are out of a job because some of us don’t have the money to hire them anymore. No more talks, faxing our Reps & Senators because it is just a waste of time and I would not be surprised if HR 589 turns out to be just another nail in the coffin for us 99ers. Stay strong but be negative, very negative because it is all we have left to keep this fight going. The criminals in Congress to have to all pay for their crimes against humanity starting with the leader who has nothing to offer to the working class and the poor unemployed folks, not even his sweet talking jives which he now reserves only for the top 2%. I am sorry to sound very bitter but for nearly three years, I was only offered a part-time on call job and another for commission only. We are no longer considered human beings and they will use the divide and conquer tactic to destroy us from within because they know that when we are so poor and destitute, most of us would do just about anything to survive at this point and by throwing us a bone, we would kill even our own fellow 99ers. Why do you think that our numbers are alreay in the millions and yet we have achieved absolutely nothing?
Makes me sick how these “officials” run the states, I don’t regret for a minute leaving that mess. Sad to see how far my country has fallen in my short time there ( 30 years ) but I couldnt fathem another minute of the corruptness and fighting like 7 year olds between the 2 dumbass parties anymore, I think a TRUE revolution and revolt by the people is needed like what you are currently seeing around the world, The redneck repubs and the Lying liberals and the racist tea bags need to go!! time to reign in another revolution to show these powers that be that they cannot shit on the common man and woman anymore! I hope that I get to see that one day, Make me be proud to be a U.S. citizen again even though I no longer live there non the less, GOOD LUCK everyone! SOMETHING HAS GOT TO GIVE!
