Building Recovery on the Backs of the Unemployed

As long as Washington (both parties) pursues a hostile takeover of the private sector, the latter must take a defensive stance by using their cash for M&A, downsizing to stay profitable. Hence the jobless recovery & the success of upscale brands like Apple (manufacturing at a Chinese plant w/ a rash of suicides), Ltd., Coach, etc. while Walmart, which initially benefitted from the recession, is being undercut by the dollar stores while the lower & middle classes are floundering -- paying taxes to rescue large corporations who proceed to lay off more workers in order to survive. I have a bachelor's degree but the only work I can find is volunteer work, at least until special elections. Hooray for the distributed workforce.

Obama, Osama

2011-5-2~Transcript of President Obama’s Speech - Washington Wire - WSJ
"Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader ..."
I am relieved that Obama has finally disabused Americans of this popular misconception. True, Osama led Muslim terrorists, but he was actually a Quaker. Remember, the term Quaker originates from the desire to make unbelievers quake in fear.

WikiLeaks: Osama bin Laden killed after tip-offs from Guantanamo - Telegraph
Conveniently, Obama omitted any references to Guantanamo Bay from his speech (which would show that his efforts to close the prison, if successful, could have protected bin Laden). This clears the way for Obama to take credit for the kill in his reelection bid.

2013-5-24~ HuffPo headline: “Drummer Lee Rigby Identified As Killed Soldier In London Attack”
The picture gets clearer w/ Gawker’s revelation that Rigby was only wearing a “Help for Heroes” shirt when he was attacked: http://gawker.com/lee-rigby-soldier-and-drummer-killed-by-woolwich-mons-509517927
So as far as I can tell he never even killed a Muslim in the line of action (being a member of the Drum Corps) but was only killed for daring to honor others who risk their lives to protect their fellow Brits (& others in the West such as the US & Israel or moderate Muslims anywhere who fail to toe the radical Wahhabi/Salafist/Shiite line) by killing those who pose a threat to the UK.
