On Voting Republicans Out Of Office

Ego Crusher: Obama Voted No. 111 Among Most Famous People in History

By the time his term in office is mercifully he’ll be a lot lower since most people won’t want anything to do with him.

Jesus is the most important person history, according to a new internet search programme that ranks Napoleon second and Mohammed third.

The software, developed in the US, scours the internet for opinions expressed about famous people and uses a special algorithm to to predict how important they will remain 200 years after their death.

And it has thrown up some unusual and potentially embarrassing results with Prime Minister David Cameron all the way down in 1,483rd place.

The first Briton on the list is William Shakespeare in fourth place closely followed by Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Adolf Hitler and Alexander the Great.

Kings and Queens of England rank highly with Henry VIII in 11th place, Elizabeth I in 13th, Queen Victoria in 16th and Charles I in 39th.

Surprisingly Nelson Mandela ranks only 356th well below President Barack Obama at 111th and former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher at 271st.

Clearly fame has little in common with competence or value to the world.

Now this news is sure to make the left go absolutely bonkers:

Winston Churchill in 37th place is well beaten by Theodore Roosevelt in 23rd place and even by George W Bush who is one place ahead in 36th.

Bush is 75 spots ahead of President Ego. That’s gonna leave a mark.[/quote]

I'd like to see who did the poll and the results.

Obama rodeo clown leading in votes for person of the year
6 hours ago

SEDALIA, Mo. (KMOX) – Inspired by Time Magazine’s well-known list, Sedalia, Missouri now has its own Person of the Year Award and the 2013 competition isn’t even close.

There are seven nominees but the man who brought national attention to the Missouri State Fair this summer is running away with more than half of the votes.

Tuffy Gessling, better known as Tuffy the Clown, is a rodeo clown who wore a mask of President Obama at the fair, asking those in the crowd if they wanted to see the president gored by a bull.

The Exchange
While You're Working, Congress Isn't

America has a new Public Enemy No. 1. And chances are, you voted for it.

CEOs are the usual target of ire over the diverging fortunes of the rich and the rest. But 2013 is turning into the year when members of Congress made greedy CEOs look good. Congress had its least productive year in decades in 2013, and may have done more harm than good through a government shutdown and other gridlock-fueled antics that hurt the economy. The partisan hostility in Washington has pushed Congress’s already low approval rating to the sorriest level on record.

Base pay for members of Congress is $174,000 per year, with the Speaker of the House (currently John Boehner) earning $223,500 and leadership members of both parties earning $193,400. Generous retirement benefits and other perks may be worth up to $110,000 per year more. There’s nothing new about those numbers, and pay rates, in fact, have been frozen since 2009.

A dwindling usefulness

What is new is the dwindling amount of useful activity that takes place in Congress. The legislature passed just 57 bills in 2013, compared with an average of 282 passed bills per year from 1973 through 2012. So the 2013 tally was 80% below the historical average.

You can bet republicans are behind most of President Obama's failures...

Renewal of Federal Unemployment Benefits Blocked in the House
Attempts by Democrats to allow a vote on a reauthorization of federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) were blocked this week. In the House, a proposed amendment to a bipartisan budget bill, which would have extended the EUC program and prevented it from expiring at the end of the year, was rejected by Republican leaders, who would not let it come up for a vote. Late yesterday, the House passed a two-year budget agreement, but failed to address the looming shutdown of federal unemployment insurance for 1.3 million long-term unemployed job-seekers -- and for millions more who would exhaust regular state benefits next year with no access to federal aid, without Congressional action to renew the EUC program. House majority leaders said they would begin a three week holiday recess today even as frustrated supporters of an EUC reauthorization vowed to fight on both during and after the recess.

In order for to do any sort of business with Cover Oregon, they must sign a far-reaching non-disparagement agreement that forbids the signee from saying anything remotely negative or disparaging about the Obamacare exchange. If state officials decide that someone has spoken unfavorably about the Obamacare exchange, that business or organization can have their grant money revoked.
