“… San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera. “I think it’s unfortunate that plaintiffs proceeded with litigation, even after we took time to demonstrate that their case had no basis in reality. We’ll never know for sure if this lawsuit was just a political stunt, but I think Judge Alsup summed it up well in two words: ‘hot air.’”
“I did not receive a loan through the stimulus program, sir,” said an official with Namacle LLC, a company that appears to manufacture gun parts. In fact, Namacle received two loans through the Small Business Administration, for a total of $350,000, via money made available by the Recovery Act, according to ProPublica’s data.
The official confirmed the SBA loans but declined to say what he’d used the money for. “That’s private information,” he said.
Not all stimulus beneficiaries flat-out denied having gotten money through the program. But most seemed completely unaware that the loans they received or the grants they were awarded were made possible by that bill. A receptionist at Goshen Chiropractic Center PC, which got a $119,000 SBA loan, said she “certainly didn’t recall” the company getting that money. A manager at McCarthy’s on the Riverwalk, a restaurant that received a $213,000 SBA loan, said she hadn’t been there long enough to know about the money McCarthy’s received in 2009.
Leanne Brekke, who used to run Indiana Micro Metal Etching company, said she didn’t know the SBA loans she received — more than $500,000 in total — were made possible through the Recovery Act. Brekke used that money to buy the company, she explained. But she sold it a few months ago out of concern that taxes and the possibility of a forced minimum wage hike would make her business unprofitable, if not completely untenable.
“I’m not a big President Obama fan,” Brekke said. “I’m voting for Trump.”
Dudette, as MLK says; “The most dangerous thing to a nation is Sincere Ignorance and Conscientious Stupidity”. That article you posted exemplifies MLK’s point.
375,000 more Louisianans are gaining access to Medicaid thanks to ObamaCare, over 20 million people have access to comprehensive and affordable healthcare and you’re going to erase the black president who got it done?
Then he scratches his head as to why black people have deemed him unworthy of our vote. Look in the mirror, Bernie.
I am going to laugh and laugh and laugh when he officially loses the nomination.
Name checked the white presidents who failed and erased the black president who got it done.
Nerdy, you speak truth with these tweets. I was outraged that Bernie mentioned FDR and LBJ in regard to health care and completely ignored the one president who risked everything he had to deliver on his health care promise to Americans. This nation owes a debt of gratitude to our President that hate-filled Republicans and stupid Bernie Sanders will never appreciate. And yes, who you put in power matters. It mattered profoundly to this country when we twice elected PBO and it matters to Louisianans when they elected a Democratic governor who is expanding Medicaid, a benefit also made possible by President Obama. .
Dudette, Now think of what Trump would tell his supporters to do, if they were booing Hillary. POTUS told his supporters don’t boo, vote. Trump would stand up there and egg them on to be disrespectful, calling names.
I AM SO GLAD HE IS HAMMERING ON IMMIGRANTS..I’M SO SICK AND TIRED OF THE HATE..I’M READY TO LEAVE THIS COUNTRY..I DON’T LIKE THE WAY THE RUDE AND CRUDE BEHAVE HERE………………………
Dudette, it thrills me to see that PBO is in campaign mode and will spend the next months delivering blockbuster, crowd stirring speeches on behalf of HRC. This comes down to love of and service to his country because he knows what destruction Trump and continued Republican control of Congress will wreak. His last glorious gift to Americans as President will be to ensure that we will be in safe and sane hands on January 20, 2017!
Thanks, President Obama. It’s always so refreshingly encouraging to be addressed as the adult I am. 🙂 [God, as we head in to the general election, I hope millions of Americans feel this way!]
Oh, I pray so, vc. He is so dedicated to us, and I hope we will return the faith.
Hope you are doing fine, vc. (((((((((((Lots of hugs to you)))))))))))))HZ
Now we know why that orange racists sexists thin skin liar didn’t run in 2012, cause he knew he had no chance against President Obama. If President Obama could run again I thin he would win, And if he could run, I think Michelle would support him running because she know it would be for the good of this country.
Whether or not Obama gets credit for his successes is of interest when it comes to shaping his legacy, but at a certain level, the proof itself is difficult to overlook. When the president went to Elkhart in 2009, it faced dire straits and 20 percent unemployment. Obama said at the time that the public could judge his record by where Elkhart stood after the administration’s agenda took effect.
Seven years later, I don’t know whether or not Elkhart is inclined to thank Obama, but I do know the city’s economic turnaround is a story the White House can be proud of.
Happened to leave CSPAN for a few minutes by accident. Usually can’t stand to hear the vitriol coming from the GOP nutbags who call into CSPAN. Just as I was about to turn it off, a guy from California came on saying he voted Republican for last 50 yrs, but he’s had enough. He has switched to Dem and is voting HRC next week and in Nov. I suspect there will be a lot more like him out there. Hope they care about down-ticket Dem races too.
Nerdy when you tweet PBO’s awesomeness, it’s like I’m there. I’m yelling and screaming and jumping up and down like I was there. Thank you!! I love my President.
When I hear the President say, “Our journey is not finished,” I’m tempted to say, “I’ll drive.” But at this point, I’d rather ride – with him (and that guy Biden), as they run off and do more great things for the world!

Hi NerdyW. Thanks, NerdyW!
You’re welcome, VC. 😀
huuuuuge {NW} & much blessing!

Boom!
Yup, yup!
GM Dudette – grandbabe is visiting – the noise level at 6am has me awake too early 🙂
Bernie folks seem too much like the GOP – if you can’t win – change the rules – sigh
I’m sick of them. Some are surely GOP saboteurs. Some are just asshats.
^100
BooooooooooooooooooooooooM!
Thanks, NW for a new post.
Congrats, Dudette of your Twin Au ⭐ along with VC….. ⭐
I am listening to POTUS, 😉 Thanks, NW!
But of course!

PBO just warned folks not to fall for the “okie-doke”…

Yeah NW, I soooo can’t wait for the “Tribute to the Fallen” Hungry for Power Games segment coming soon on BS!!!!
He sent out that disgusting insult to PBO and the ACA (and he KNEW what he was inferring!) after this happened:
Coming very soon for BS and then eventually the sweetest one on Wednesday, November 9th:
By the way Nerdy, I posted this gif from a Mac.
Thanks, MadameSoph.
It looks like the GIF issue is in regards to Mac users and Twitter.
Mr. President is giving another taste of *his* 2016 campaigning! You go, Mr. President!
Vcp, Buffoon Drumpf is toasted when President Obama hits the campaign trail. PBO is one of the best counter-punchers, like JFK.
Well-roasted, more like! Trump’s already been getting some master fork jabs from our great political cook. 😀 😀
Dudette, Now think of what Trump would tell his supporters to do, if they were booing Hillary. POTUS told his supporters don’t boo, vote. Trump would stand up there and egg them on to be disrespectful, calling names.
He’s egging them on to violence too!
I AM SO GLAD HE IS HAMMERING ON IMMIGRANTS..I’M SO SICK AND TIRED OF THE HATE..I’M READY TO LEAVE THIS COUNTRY..I DON’T LIKE THE WAY THE RUDE AND CRUDE BEHAVE HERE………………………
I love our President. Expect more of this from him for sure. HZ
I can’t wait to see him on the campaign trail. This is just a start.
Amen COS. HZ

Amen to that!
Looking forward to President Obama campaigning for Hillary. VP Biden and the First Lady too.
Yep. Get the popcorn ready! 😀
Jackie, and the church says AMEN Sister. 👌👍👊😀

Look like I witness the Democrat nominee for President today.

And there truly is no one like you, NW! You Ba-rack! (Too corny?) 🙂
And good afternoon, Chips and TODville!
Nerdy! Nerdy! Nerdy! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Hahahahaha…..you’re AWESOME, Ms. J’OB.
Nerdy, I watched President Obama layout the facts in Elkhart, Indiana. But it’s always pleasing to read your recap. Thanks so-so much.
Nerdy when you tweet PBO’s awesomeness, it’s like I’m there. I’m yelling and screaming and jumping up and down like I was there. Thank you!! I love my President.
Wow, check this out Arapaho!
😄
Now, you’re talkin’, Melinda!

Yeah, I’m with all of you!
Wolf’s headline du jour: Former employees of Trump say he intentionally “preyed on the elderly,” in the Trump Fake-U deals.
And yet some older folks will vote for him … like they did for Palin and McCain.
Ugh.
