Happy Birthday "President" Obama.....

[Coach is Back!]

.....you POS!



Presidential birthday bashes are nothing new, but in the wake of a months-long debt battle and in the midst of an economy barely chugging along, some see President Barack Obama's Wednesday birthday celebration coming at a terrible time.

"We're nearing a double-dip recession. We've lost 125,000 jobs here in Illinois just since he took office," Illinois GOP chairman Pat Brady said Tuesday.

Mitt Romney tweeted a campaign video painting a dreary picture of Chicago's economy and the message, "@BarackObama celebrates his 50th bday & collects $35,800 checks but IL is struggling due to his failed policies."

Still, there will be plenty of prominent Democrats who will find it in their schedule -- and their pocketbooks -- to attend the festivities.

And there's no secret that the event at the legendary Aragon Ballroom in Uptown is a campaign fundraiser. Tickets for Obama's birthday celebration range from $50 for the concert to nearly $36,000 per person for a private dinner with the President.

Performers include Chicago's own Jennifer Hudson, Herbie Hancock and OK Go. About 1,000 tickets were made available to the general public.

Whatever one's political allegiances, preparations at the theater on Tuesday were in full swing.  New neon was installed in the famous marquee, prison crews tackled the job of cleaning the sidewalks, and at a day care center next door, the preschools created a hand-written welcome banner.

Obama is expected to fly into Chicago Wednesday afternoon. He's scheduled to be in Uptown between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m., Ald. Cappleman told Uptown's community publication.

It's unclear how Obama will spend his actual birthday -- his 50th -- on Thursday.  His first birthday as president was spent on a weekend trip at Camp David.

US borrowing tops 100% of GDP: Treasury
(AFP) – 1 hour ago 


WASHINGTON — US debt shot up $238 billion to reach 100 percent of gross domestic project after the government's debt ceiling was lifted, Treasury figures showed Wednesday.

Treasury borrowing jumped Tuesday, the data showed, immediately after President Barack Obama signed into law an increase in the debt ceiling as the country's spending commitments reached a breaking point and it threatened to default on its debt.

The new borrowing took total public debt to $14.58 trillion, over end-2010 GDP of $14.53 trillion, and putting it in a league with highly indebted countries like Italy and Belgium.

Public debt subject to the official debt limit -- a slightly tighter definition -- was $14.53 trillion as of the end of Tuesday, rising from the previous official cap of $14.29 trillion a day earlier.

Treasury had used extraordinary measures to hold under the $14.29 trillion cap since reaching it on May 16, while politicians battled over it and over addressing the country's bloating deficit.

The official limit was hiked $400 billion on Tuesday and will be increased in stages over the next 18 months.

The last time US debt topped the size of its annual economy was in 1947 just after World War II. By 1981 it had fallen to 32.5 percent.

Ratings agencies have warned the country to reduce its debt-to-GDP ratio quickly or facing losing its coveted AAA debt rating.

Moody's said Tuesday that the government needed to stabilize the ratio at 73 percent by 2015 "to ensure that the long-run fiscal trajectory remains compatible with a AAA rating."

just for shits and giggles 333386... tell me..  since you think the economy is obama's fault... or at the very least, you obviously think obama has it within his power to have fixed the economy already...  how exactly should he have gone about doing so? what policies could obama have implemented starting in 2009 that could have made our economy better than it is now?

Arnt muslims not supposed to have gaudy B-Day parties like this?
