Come-on $1Billion to elect a socialist president? That is obscene like the first $1 Billion dollar bonus package for a socialist! That is sick greed and selfishness at its worst.

Here are two of the main reasons for American deficits and Obama is doing nothing about it. If American health care is so bad why don’t the people stay in their own countries. Do you know one American who pays to have treatment in Britain, Germany, France, Japan or China? We don’t. Yet we get people from all those countries coming for operations in the USA. But they at least pay.

Suddenly Obama who did nothing during the BP oil leak is claiming he masterminded the execution of Osama from the day he took office. Last week he had his wife give up her work on obese children and concentrate on soldiers wives to get her in on the favorable military publicity too. But behind the scenes Obama is cutting about 24000 soldiers off the payroll every month and unemployment (real) is now over 16%.


World Markets:

Bank of England Governor Mervyn King said that the recent pattern of revisions to the projections over the next year -- downward to growth and upward to inflation -- has continued and there is a good chance that inflation will reach 5 percent.

The German stock insane market bubble is almost to the 2008 level and yet the economy has not recovered.

And Britain’s bubble is back too and they are still in a recession.

China is under pressure to relax controls on artists and religious groups to boost creativity so that it is not necessary for China to steal technology. With creative minds they could survive and grow on their own. The People’s Bank of China set the rate 0.06 percent higher to 6.495 yuan per dollar. China reported a trade surplus of $11.4 billion in April with exports surging 30 percent to a record $156 billion. The PBOC governor expressed commitment to currency flexibility and using the yuan to control inflation.”

Greek bond yields and the cost of insuring the country’s debt against default rose to all-time highs amid speculation about a debt write-off or an extension of repayment timelines. Standard & Poor’s cut Greece’s long-term sovereign credit rating by two levels yesterday to B, five notches below investment grade. S&P said the rating may be lowered further.


US Economic Highlights
Microsoft Corp. is in talks to buy Skype Technologies SA to gain the world’s most popular international calling service and its 663 million customers, according to two people. A price tag of $8Billion sounds high for what today is essentially a free service.

The average American home value declined 8.2% last year. The total decline now exceeds 30%.

Just as the FED QE2 temporarily inflated the bottom line by giving cash (which eventually must be paid back) the halt of QE2 will have the opposite effect and then the pay back will cause earnings to drop.

Market Outlook May 11, 2011
Volume was extremely low yesterday and the NYSE website was not fully working. There must be NYSE technical issues.

The stock market is again testing the lower resistance line. With QE2 ending there is less chance of a bounce. On a cashflow (not price basis) there was now new high after the last breakdown. That is why we are not in at this time.

The American economy is still stagnant because Obama refuses to cut welfare that is an enormous economic inefficiency. Toothless immigrant welfare recipients are seen regularly at gambling casinos cashing welfare checks and illegally exchanging food stamps for cash. American welfare corruption has more than doubled under Obama. Obama gave over $30Billion to black constituents who fraudulently claimed they were owed reparations because their ancestors did not get all the corrupt handouts they were “entitled” to under previous administrations. This Obama corruption of the farm bureau alone is justification for firing that entire government office.

The depressed real estate market is killing the American economy. And homeowners are considered to0 rich to help against the influential banking community that contributes so much to the $1 Billion Obama wants to raise for the next election of socialists. Come-on $1Billion to elect a socialist president? That is obscene like the first $1 Billion dollar bonus package for an incumbent! That is sick greed and selfishness at its worst.

World Markets
International trade shows that the world economy has still only revived about 25% not the 70% shown by the stock and commodities markets. QE2 is created the current stock market and commodity bubble. That means more than half of the stock market rise from the 2009 lows is unsupportable and could evaporate quickly. See:
