Left Hook, Right Jab: Obama battered from all sides at S.F. stop
Here are some more messages from each of the main protest contingents.
The Tea Party:




World Can’t Wait:


Marijuana advocates:


Occupy San Francisco:


Not sure who this guy was with, but his sign seemed to induce a lot of seething among the ticket-holders.

A pair of entrepreneurs were trying to unload the last of their Obama Heads before they become obsolete on November 6.

And, as a digestif, a display of typically hypocritical Bay Area political buttons.
Also see the report at The City Square blog, which noted that after the event was over, the Obama fans had left garbage strewn along the street, which was picked up by — the Tea Party! A perfect metaphor for the American economy.

The thing about human nature is this: when you want to believe something bad enough then you start seeing everything as “evidence” of the thing you want to believe.
This makes me really happy, I love watching the wheels come flying in the third turn.
As an aside isn’t there a real Porn Stars for Romney?
I was more astounded to see the name “Code Pink” in the story. From its silence, I thought the anti-war left had done its typical disappearance during Dem administrations. When it’s their guy drone-striking people, all is well.
The Code Pink presence surprised me too. Guess they just can’t resist a protest.
Code Pink will protest anyone he right of Mao Tse Tung. To them, Obama isjust another American Imperialist, fascist, bankster-backed tool of the corporate elite.
Well, I’m a Conservative, and I think that pretty much describes Obama. That and he wants to see the white world burn.
For once, they happen to be right.–BO’s all of those things squared or more.
Code Pink hasn’t been silent; press coverage of them has, because they’re anti-Obama. That’s probably what did in Occupy Wall Street and Cindy Sheehan as well.
The counter-culture turned out for Obama to reproach him for his policies, but they had unrealistic expectations. It is sad that so many Americans have yielded to Jazz Age style primitivism and nihilism. I blame the cultural outlets that appeal to the counter-culture, and that reflect their own adolescent rebellions.
Here is my argument for a transformation in how we teach culture and ideology, reviewing patronage in the West. http://clarespark.com/2012/10/09/big-bird-prostrate/. Read especially the concluding remarks, with the sharp rebuke to the phony free speech the Left has funded, with the unwilling help of all taxpayers.
This is what happens when a POTUS attempts to be all things to all people – chameleon-like..a blank slate too-yet is afraid to reveal his hidden hand in public. The Stealth-in-Chief.
While he hearts with the likes of Chavez, as well as Morsi, he understands that he cannot operate like they do, at least for now. Moreover, hope and change is hardly a pliable ware, when so many people are unemployed!
Therefore, more people are coming out of the closet – so to speak. They want to know – who is this man-child creature, and will he stand up, and do what he promised? To be sure, the far left, via San Fran, will never think he went far enough. However, they too want their guy to man-up, and stop putzing around.
As to the rest of America, the empty suit/chair is reaping dividends, therefore, many FINALLY realize – http://adinakutnicki.com/2012/10/05/if-it-looks-like-a-socialistmarxistcommunist-plan-it-is-peekingpeeling-back-into-obamas-looking-glass-his-surrogates-too-their-bomblets-waiting-to-explode-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki/, thereby, the right is seeking to expose him further, whereas the left wants him to keep his promises.
Oh what a tangled web…..
That is so spot on!
While watching the inauguration, I told my children that there are going to be a lot of people who will be extremely disappointed when they realize he is a politician, no more, no less.
All the messianic worship & talk of “change “, with no clue about what we would change to, was frightening. He really had the ability to convince people that he was speaking to them & their interests, no matter how disparate.
Exactly so, autdrew. Last Sunday at dinner I reminded my son that four years ago I warned him: “The trouble with cults of personality is the personality always lets down the cult.” Zombie does this sort of citizen journalism better than anybody else online.
This is what I told my boss when she asked me why I wasn’t out watching his inauguration on TV like everyone else (I kept working instead). I told her that I had listened to his capmpaign messages and they were just sort of empty fill-in-the-blanks type slogans and I was afraid that too many people had filled in those blanks with whatever they wanted and were going to be very disappointed as a result.
Apparently your woman’s intuition noticed a scam artist right off when you hear one. You should be promoted for being smarter than the average employee.
0bama is in BIG TROUBLE. Why? Folks have found out you can criticize him without being struck down by lightening. The screaming hyperbole spewing from his sycophants is getting shriller and shriller while the common-sense admonishments of normal Americans are finally being listened to.
This guy is toast and will end up his life as the punch-line to an ever increasing number of jokes.
In a free America.
Hiring Obama is like hiring a recent high school graduate into an “entree level clerk” poairion, to become CEO of a large multitrillion corporation. Then the clerk costs the company $5 Trillion within four years and the company goes bankrupt. What would you expect? Disaster!!!
To me, at least half of the supporters in Zombie’s pictures look like they had to “overcharge” their EBT cards for the 100 bucks!
GOOD post Zombie…
when the Ds have lost San Francisco…
I can feel a paradigm shift!
cheers from a Chicago patriot, gone Galt living in lovely NZ
“When the D’s have lost San Francisco…” certainly does not mean that anything remotely conservative, or sane, has won. It just means that San Francisco is now orbiting Jupiter instead of Mars.
Uh, Jupiter is farther from Earth than Mars is.
Don’t you mean that San Francisco is perhaps a little CLOSER to Earth (reality) in its disillusionment with Obama? In that case you’d want to use the Moon, rather than Jupiter, assuming that they were on Mars a few years back….
I assure you, San Francisco is in a universe all of its own, the single planet in a solar system where, as you gaze across the Golden Gate Bridge, the sun rises from the left, pauses at the zenith, then retreats the way it came. Even the denizens of largely sympathetic Marin County watch in astonishment.
Maybe the “one” has united us all after all. We are all dedicated to sending his sorry butt back to Chicago in January 2013.
Not that I really want him back in my hometown all that much, but it will be better then him being the tenant at 1600 Pennsylvania in DC. Though I really don’t see him coming back to Chicago to be honest. I just hope he fades away from the spotlight, I am truly sick of him.
He won’t be going back to Chicago in January. He wouldn’t dare. Chicago has been sucked dry by Obama. He’s moving to his new, $35m estate in Hawaii, bought for him by grateful multi-millionaire leftists.
Right, Joe, and there he will wait for the Korean’s term to run out, at Turtle Bay, and so O will be named the new President of The United Nations, where he will at last be King of The World… of kleptocratic dictators like he once aspired to be.
As such – ‘Obama Gotta GO!’ – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16y8peNt0dA

Totally liked the channel

Obama is retiring to Hawaii to drift off into history shrouded by choom smoke. Hang Loose Bra’
Kailua, Oahu, where the home is located, is the crystal meth (aka “ice”) capital of the world. He should feel right at home. Problem is, it’s in a largely caucasian community. There are also lots of homeless druggies camping out at Kailua Beach Park, just 1/4 mile away.
Won’t be a problem for Chicago, but it’s bad for Hawaii … Obama’s “retiring” there may change the vacation plans of many Americans and thus become a permanent drag on the Hawaiian tourist industry. Also, what’s up with his handlers only supplying $35million for his new digs? I think he and Moochelle should object … perhaps a palace in Dubai … yeah, that’s far enough away!
It’ll be interesting to consider the tax ramifications of that $35 million home. If it’s a gift, Obama will owe millions in income tax. If he just lives there rent free, there may be tax consequences for that. Who pays the property tax?
In a truly just world, he’ll be evicted for non-payment of rent or taxes or the mortgage.
These Friscans truly are a clueless lot. And a word to the wise conservatives. Though they appear united in their dislike for Obama, their dislike is for very different reasons. Conservatives don’t like him because he’s a socialist and lefties don’t like him because he’s not socialist enough; The two factions being permanently and diametrically opposed.
So their protest indicated to me that the conservatives will come out and vote for Romney and the liberals will just stay home. That’s a plus for the republican party but it will still be necessary to keep Romney in check by not letting him sign legislation that will appease the left in any way. He will, and we know it but certainly as opposed to Obama, he’s a breath of fresh air.
But just remember, the left still wants a dictator who will take away our guns and bibles, who will demand that abortion be free, that drug-dealers and users get no legal penalties, etc. And oh, that you never use oil or coal again. They think that’s the answer to saving mother earth.
FYI, Larry J, gift taxes are assessed on the giver.
Only fitting that he should live in the Middle East his policies helped shape.
No, this is so much like Jimmy Carter that I imagine Obama will also be like Jimmah in retirement. He’ll never just fade away and they’ll keep dragging him out of retirement to make stupid criticism whenever they want. Too bad he’s young enough to make a nuisance of himself for quite some time yet. And, of course, you know his “wise” words will be especially valued because of the historic nature of his presidency … all due to his race.
I wonder if he’ll start talking pidgin. Wow, just imagine mixing pidgin with ebonics.
Great photos!
What a zoo.
Where did the guy in the second picture down get an Iranian made drone from?
LOL! Truly surreal, Zombie.
I don’t care what ‘side’ these people are on. They ALL scare the f*ck outta me!
That flushing sound will be the water circling the drain as these whack-a-doodles go down the giant toilet of life as God jiggles the handle.
Drudge just posted this video on his front page:
Obama Supporters: Vandals and Thieves
We’ll see how long CommieTube keeps it up.
Thanks for the link, I just sent it to everyone in my address book.
You’re welcome and good on ya for spreading the truth!
“That flushing sound will be the water circling the drain as these whack-a-doodles go down the giant toilet of life as God jiggles the handle.”
LOL! You have outdone yourself with that one, girl! :thumbup:
Fanks, bobbeh girl! How’d ya get to be so sweet?
San Francisco is our national circus side show. I’s not to be taken seriously. Just enjoy gawking at the freaks.
LOL, carla!
They really should sell tickets to help Cali get out of ‘socialist’ debt!
When a Democratic candidate goes to San Francisco and a TEA Party rally breaks outs in response…
– will become California, if Obama years continue. Almost all were miserable under Arnold. It’s as if Obama has become Assad.
I liked the photograph for the beaten circus elephants. At first, when I saw a sign talking about beaten elephants, I thought they were talking about Republicans who lose elections. Now, I’m not so sure. I think Romney is going to win this one, especially if Obama does poorly in the last two debates.
I liked the sign for the beaten circus elephants. At first I thought they were talking about Republicans that lose elections, now I’m not so sure! I think Romney is going to win this one, especially if he does well in the next two debates. People just want a reason NOT to vote for Obama. Now they have one.
But was the local chapter of Bong Hits for Barack in attendance?
I forgot: they’re all meeting at DeMSM headquarter buildings
The people complaining that Obama isn’t left wing enough just make my brain short-circuit.
Just how much farther left do they really think he can go? He’s about as far left as he can get without bringing the Hand of Allah down on us (which would cycle us right back around to the bizarre “left-wing economic, social so-far-conservative-it’s-outside-our-known-spectrum” positions of the Salafists and the Ikhwan).
Obama is very left-wing when it comes to economic policy. When it comes to civil liberties, he has not been liberal (pro-freedom) at all. (that’s the definition of a fascist but let’s not go there)
He has stepped up, not toned down drug enforcement – we have more militarized police making more raids on civilians. He has doubled down on drug prohibition – with the some success as the original prohibitionists in the 20′s.
After complaining about Bush tactics on the war on terrorists – Obama has admitted to having a Kill List! Imagine a Dick Cheney kill list.
That “Obama was just a bad hire” is great but is also part of the challenge businesses face everyday.
EEOC and affirmative action are a double edged sword for blacks. On one had they cause employers to hire under-qualified blacks to make racial quotas, but on the other had everybody knows that firing a poor performing minority will all too frequently lead to an EEOC lawsuit. I wonder who Obama sues when he is “let go.”
Did you notice when the left mixes with the right in “common cause,” their spelling becomes better on their signs?
Heh.
Not so many freaks as in the past–maybe they dressed down to avoid scaring the undecideds?
– SF voted that you can abuse women so long as you are a Dem.
I dunno, some of those dem women look like they’ve been pretty abused as it is.
This is all well and good but we are DOOMED DOOMED I say when all the Democrats show up to vote on November 7th.
DOOMED!!!!!
Rotfl! You made me snort!
A Zippy the Pinhead button right next to a Che button. How appropriate!
I actually started laughing while I was reading this report. My God, it’s all true! He IS the great bipartisan uniter! Unfortunately for him, he’s united us all in dislike of him.
It’s all so pat, it’s hard not to think of Obama as a fictional character right now. Such an ironic comeuppance, such a perfect payback for hubris, seems almost too pat for the real world.
Appropriate, though. In a lot of ways, he IS a fictional character.
It is finally time for serious discussion about this disastrously, incompetent, wrong headed, lying-machine of a President, technically still our commander in chief.
After one realizes the exorbitant number of lies Obama and his staff have been telling since Sept. 12, 2012 about the massacre in Libya; the killing of Ambassador Stephens and three Embassy personnel, there is one inescapable conclusion.
There is something seriously wrong with Obama. He’s no longer fit to be commander in chief. His touch with reality is tenuous at best. Obama’s got to go.
If he’s not forced out or resigns, I think Obama will live up to his name and get a clean electoral sweep. All goose eggs. All O’s. Obama may only be getting the electoral votes he dreams about. The truths are starting to come out about Obama’s Egypt and Libya untruths like a gushing torrent. When the election dust settles, the Democratic Party will be three generations away from being taken seriously again.
This President’s mental instability is getting Americans killed. Sorry to say, but as a history teacher, he reminds me of the last days of Hitler holed up in his bunker in the Chancellery in Berlin. Still giving orders to move his armies around from battle to battle, place to place.
Only problem, they were imaginary armies. Hitler was like a kid playing “soldier.”
Obama’s is a delusional liar playing President.
The last photo, with the list of grievances, at least shows some intellectual consistency on the part of the sign-maker. It also shows that no matter what Obama did to make these people happy, they truly expected him to come into office on Jan. 20, 2009 and immediately turn into Hugo Chavez, steamrollering every pet far left dream they had into law.
As much as Obama’s gone on an executive order fetish over the last 18 months to bypass Congress, even he can’t do that, because it would kill off the hopes of even more down-ballot Democrats. But the hard-core left doesn’t care, and if Obama loses on Nov. 6, will simply go back into the Democratic Party to champion the next hyper-liberal hope (though after their experience with Barack, they may not be as open next time to a beta male Chicago cipher, even though someone like that with their ideology is really their only hope for winning office in most places outside San Francisco).
Obama will have more flexibility to act like Hugo Chavez in a 2nd term.
As a confirmed beta male, though, he won’t have the stones to do it and put his name on it — Jarett can do it, or Reid can do it, or some of his cabinet people or bureaucratic department heads can do it, but Obama has a aversion to any heavy lifting to get his ideology enacted. He only wants the credit once everything’s done.
The passiveness and his historical racial position are the only two reasons why Obama even won the 2008 Democratic primary over Hillary — if he was the alpha male type the far left pines for, even Democrats would have simply seen him as Thin Al Sharpton and run away screaming. At best, Obama’s the guy in a mob of believers who runs out and throws a Molitov cocktail at the police, then runs back in before he can be identified and arrested. He does nothing on his own.
The left knew during the 2008 campaign Obama was lying to the country about his beliefs. But what they also thought, and are angry about now, is that he was lying about his temperament, and would turn into Chavez on 1/20/09. We should actually be thankful for Obama’s wimpiness, because with full control of Congress in 2009-10, if Obama had been able to hide an alpha male personality that didn’t care if everyone saw him defiling the Constitution, things would be even worse than they are now.
They are also angry at the lightworker for his poor showing in the debate where they thought he would take it to Romney in the form of espousing their “known” truths. This is why Matthews lost his erection; This is why the pun-ditzes tried blaming the underlings and threw Kerry under the bus. Because wunderboy was supposed to excoriate Romney on all the left talking points regarding global warming, evil corporate empires, greedy gas companies and so on.
But somehow Captain socialist knew that if he started spouting such nonsense, Romney would come back with examples of Obama’s own pathetic record, which, by the way, is all by design for the high unemployment and high dole participation rate. (They had examined European voters and noted that those on the dole vote for more of the dole). But Romney would’ve explained politely and calmly why his policies fail, why they are wrong and why they must not continue.
The next day, Zippy came out swingin’. At the air. I’m reminded of a baseball comedy where the guy comes out all pumped up, ready to go to bat and he’s fanning the wood around and the coach says, “My god it’s a hurricane. Wonder if he can do that when there’s a baseball anywhere nearby.” And clearly president empty-chair cannot.
In most professional activities there’s that expression about being able to “talk the talk, but can they walk the walk?” In that regard he’s just the boy in the bubble.
If the Democrats want an actual alpha male leader, they’ll be waiting a long time. Their belief systems tend to train that out of our men and boys these days.
Romney/Ryan and their supporters are on the same page. They are openly defending free market Constitutional democracy. They tell the truth about who they are, where they have been and what they stand for and against.
ALL of their supporters are pulling on the same end of the rope, because they want to defend these same principles.
Obama/Biden and their supporters are not on the same page. The ticket is not open or transparent about their assault on free market Constitutional democracy. They must lie, distort and be clandestine about who they are, where they have been and what they stand for and against.
Many of their supporters are pulling on …what appears to be…an opposite end of the rope, because they don’t understand the Fabian nature of the ruse. They don’t want to slow cook the redistribution, the revolution, the tyranny. They want to flash fry America. They want their anarchy and they want it now.
Obama/Biden want to give it to them, but they just won’t admit it out in the open. The co-conspirators in the media lie in wait, propagandizing and covering up the plot. Therefore, the signals get crossed. SF is the perfect place to blow a circuit.
Thanks again, Zombie…for the thousand word expose’.
John Legend is pretty famous. Married a VS model too I hear.
id love to get one of those obama heads for my dogs to chew on!
Probably not a good idea; if they were made in China, they’re probably made from materials toxic to animals and painted with lead-based paints.
Ah, memories of those thrilling days of yesteryears, when all sides of the political spectrum were out protesting LBJ, and then RMN.
Now, there were two guys that everyone could find something to get upset about – and now we have Barry.
See, he has united America.
When the state department facts demolish the ObamaLies regarding the truth of the Libyan planned and coordinated attacks, Obama probably will sulk. Then cook up more lies.
When Obama’s refusal to beef up embassy security weeks before the Libyan attack as requested by the Ambassador will de facto lay blame at Obama’s door for the murder, I can see Obama slamming it and and banning the press. And likely planning another Big Bird commercial.
When the Clinton/Rice nonsensical video theory of embassy attack causation is mocked by heretofore friendly so called biased mainstream media types, Obama will probably ask Michelle to rock him to sleep because the Ambien doesn’t work like it used to.
When Ambassador Stephen’s rape, torture and murder is directly connected to the detached actions and directives of Obama, his Chicago group just may get a little testy with Obama. And hurt Obama’s sensitive feelings. I hope he successfully fights the tears.
Has Obama lost it? Is he truly delusional? Is the United States in danger with a commander in chief who belongs in the witless protection society?
I fear the music from Rod Serlings’ old Twilight Zone show has become the soundtrack of Barack’s life,
Amazing Photos! Thank You.
One Nit: John Legend rocks!
I moved my family from the Bay Area to Denver seven years ago. Thank God. It used to be called America’s European City – because of it’s art, food, weather, and “Barbary Coast” history. Now, the nickname is even more apropos as it sinks into political dementia and inevitable chaos. If America begins to rot, it will start in San Francisco.
If?
I thought San Francisco began rotting in the mid-60s….
Correctamundo, Snarky.
By 1967, the so-called Summer of Love, Haight-Ashbury was already established as a hippie hangout and drug den.
This gives me hope! Thank you so much!
Durring a trip to Portland Oregon last week I had the opportunity to drive around the metro quite extensively and only saw one Obama yard sign, which was defaced witn NO over the O. Saw a supprisingly large number of Romney signs. Very interesting indeed.
Visiting San Francisco is wonderful, and I, a poor man from the provinces, can’t afford to live there even if I wanted to, but I must know only the 1% because everyone I know from the Bay Area is voting for Romney. Even the famous fog cannot obscure the fact that Obama has failed, not just for people from the right but also for people from the left. That’s not to say that Romney will come close to carrying the ultra-liberal Bay Area, but even there people are questioning Obama’s bona fides.
Zombie, no one does it like you! Kudos and more kudos. Please keep up the good work.
Did I read it right, a fund raiser that was closed to the media and that nobody knew about? Guess they are really looking for the smaller crowds.
But when we need a statesman we get obozo, the unpatriotic failure and economic dunce, and chicago style politician.
And borrowing from another poster:
We needed a bigger-than-life President – we got a Dope smoking, Coke snorting, Radical Left wing Chicago thug that has spend his life surrounded and tutored by American hater,s and Marxist!
We needed a well-grounded stable President – we got a certifiable narcissist.
We needed bold leadership – we got a teleprompter
We needed a seasoned hand – we got a hand in in our pockets
We needed a champion for American citizens… we got a champion for the invading horde of Illegal Aliens
We needed a skilled bridge builder – we got a class-warfare specialist and inciter-in-chief.
We needed practical, proven policies – we got socialist dogma and monumental waste
We needed an inspirational visionary – we got an ideologically blinded, left learning-impaired radical.
We needed a Constitutional champion – we got a domestic enemy of the Constitution.
We needed a restrained, respected and intimidating warrior – we got groveling, bowing, Barney Fife
We needed a patriot – we got G. D. America, G. D. America, G. D. America.
We needed someone to unshackle our economy – we got someone who is a friend to our enemies and an enemy to our businesses
We needed a president beyond color – we got a green president embracing every whim and myth ever spoken by the kook environmental fringe.
We needed mature, principled leadership – we got a petulant, lying, whining, blaming, sulking, accusing, excusing, lazy, man-child.
It is a national disgrace that someone this incompetent, racist, and a American hating Socialist could be elected to the office of the Presidency.
In case anyone reading this only saw the original version of this essay posted last night — refresh the page to see the final version, with many new added captions.
I find it interesting that there is so much fraternization going on. They are all united in their protest of Obama, so the issues which would normally divide them seem to not matter (probably because most of these issues do not really matter to most people, anyway). Without the pure partisanship, the things which divide us do not seem to really divide much at all. They are just minor differences of opinion.
Well, there wasn’t widespread fraternization, just some around the edges. The main World Can’t Wait speakers still bashed the Tea Party, even as a few Tea Party members were also protesting some of the very same things that WCW were protesting — like increased domestic surveillance, extra-judicial killings, etc.
The libertarian edge of the Tea Party is not so far off from the libertarian edge of the marijuana people, so that’s not so far of a stretch. The leftie/hippie edge of the marijuana people is not so far from the hippie edge of Occupy San Francisco — and so on. Just like a rainbow, with colors blending into adjacent colors on either side.
“As for Romney’s sin of being wealthy — what about S.F.’s representatives in Washington, Nancy Pelosi and Dianne Feinstein, being among the richest members of Congress with fortunes that rival or surpass Romney’s? Ooops. Meme FAIL.”
That meme only really fails if significant numbers of voters know about it. The MSM is NOT going to be trumpeting that information from the rooftops. They’ll just keep quiet about it altogether or try to deflect it by citing some other wealthy Republicans.
That’s what they do with Soros. If you mention him, they bring up the Koch Brothers and claim that the Koch’s are far wealthier than Soros….
The liberal twits protesting Obama in the pics above will either still vote for him or not vote at all. Romney will NOT get their votes.
You’re undoubtedly right — not that it matters, since this is California after all, which Obama will win without even trying. But California is supposed to be Obama’s “base,” and if they’re disappointed in him here, then liberals are likely to follow suit and be disappointed across the country, hopefully in battleground states as well.
They say all trends start in California….
Liked your picture of that guy wearing the “Change Is …” t-shirt who you said was also holding an anti-Obama sign. — Couldn’t keep myself from thinking that he looked vaguely like Professor Lackoff from Bezerkeley. Maybe he WAS Lackoff putting into practice his theory of “Conceptual Metaphor”? — Hope somebody reminded him that “The Big Lie” always leads to “Cognitive Dissonance”.
“Pornstars for Obama.” I read recently that there are no new porn stars. There are so many slutty girls standing in line for these disgusting roles that new flesh is always available. No one can build a following because they are interchangeable and not special. Not stars, just meat.
It’s worse than that. There’s no longer any need for paid porn performers or staged sex scenes at all, since something like 60% of American girls under 24 have made and uploaded sex videos and/or photos of themselves. Why would anyone pay to see a worn-out prostitute performing on a set when you can see an infinitude of self-made sex videos made by girls next door?
I’m loving the porn stars for Romney…not sure why. Maybe they have great workplace satisfaction and like the prospect of more jobs.
You who are “Entitled to know how you can get an $87 million IRA in less than 14,500 years” need to learn how money and compound interest works. Were our lifespan such that one could work for 14,500 years, an $87 million IRA could be purchased for nary a cent in the first year and no further contributions thereafter. Contributing $22,000 a year (the max combined annual 401(k) and IRA contribution) and earning about 20% returns (not going to happen consistently in the general market, but doable investing in startups), you’d have $87 million in 40 years.
Kill the Math Witch!
Of course, not understanding money is why they are the 47% who don’t pay taxes. They’re always in debt, rather than building wealth. They don’t understand that if you have a credit card charging 18% interest and your minimum payment is 2% of the balance, and if you make only the minimum payment and don’t charge anything new, then 75% of your payment is interest and only 25% of your payment goes toward reducing the balance. If you are still charging things on it, then whatever you charged comes out of that 25% of your payment, and the balance could even increase despite making payments.
I haven’t paid too much attention to any campaign slogans or protest signs, but have there been any along the lines of:
“Give Obama a rest. Time for a little R&R.”
Because if not, I plan profiting from it.
Zombie, you magnificent undead bastard!!!
Please allow me to tell The Author that without exception, you are THE most anticipated blogger/photog/storyteller ever, at this residence.
As someone who is eternally ‘spring-loaded to the pissed-position’, you give me some kinda’ stress relief and do it in a matter that is truly seldom seen.
Don’t ever stop, and never back off.
Excelsior!!!
Aw, shucks! Now you’re making me blush.
Boy am I glad you live out there with your camera so that I get to see all of this but I just don’t think I can handle it…
How do you maintain your sanity?
