6 months of President Obama - what do we have to show?

admin — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 08:05:22 +0000

Written by Michael Vass On May 27th, President Obama stated that his $787 billion stimulus plan “saved or created” 150,000 jobs. On that same day, the expectations of a GM bankruptcy ensured that at least 20,000 jobs would be lost imminently. Which said nothing of the at least 50,000 jobs that were lost immediately due to [...]

President Obama polispeak about 150,000 jobs

admin — Thu, 28 May 2009 06:58:24 +0000

Written by Michael Vass I love the way the Government, and by that I mean the Obama Administration, throws numbers at the public without any regard for accuracy or accountability. Let’s look at the claim by the Obama Administration that the $787 billion stimulus package has already created or saved 150,000 jobs. First of all that’s just [...]

Fake boobs offend Ohio town

Written by Black Entertainment USA I hate hypocrites. Seriously, what is worse? Here is one example. In Ohio, there is a guy who owns a burger joint. Like everyone these days, he is having trouble with making sales. So in a bit of inspiration, he decided to place a life-sized mannequin outside his store. So far I [...]

Chrysler - the bad bet of President Obama

admin — Fri, 01 May 2009 21:15:12 +0000

Written by Michael Vass You know what’s really sad about the economy? What really angers me about the bailouts? The way that the Obama Administration, Congress, and the Bush Administration have all wasted our money. Yes even the anointed President Barack Obama is complicit in the waste of money that has been the bailouts and stimulus package. [...]

Don’t blink, Democrats might have paused on spending your money

admin — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 18:23:50 +0000

Written by Michael Vass Perhaps the most stunning news to be announced since President Obama won the election has just been made. It has nothing to do with global warming, creating green energy, or nationalized healthcare. It has nothing to do with the growing problems with China, Iran, or Afghanistan. But it does deal with the [...]

How much do you deserve? Who gets to decide?

admin — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 15:48:15 +0000

Written by Michael Vass Here is a problem. And it’s a big one. Who deserves the right to decide how much money you should get paid? What if I told you that the Government has decided that as an employee (not of the Government, but of private business) you deserve no more than $25,000. It doesn’t matter [...]

A bit of pre-Super Bowl spice

admin — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 18:24:05 +0000

Written by Michael Vass Well there is some time before the Super Bowl starts, so I thought I’d add some spice in honor of Valentine’s Day. Since everyone is aware that I have 18 clothing lines, and adding more regularly, with over 1500 designer items I figured I’d show off one of my latest t-shirts. As male [...]

House Democrats are scamming your money

admin — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 07:31:40 +0000

Written by Michael Vass I had a friend ask me why the Republicans are causing trouble. The reference was to why all the House Republicans (and 11 Democrats) voted against the Stimulus Package. And when I mentioned some of the things I have long written, I was asked for more details. Now I imagine others are wondering [...]

admin — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 09:43:49 +0000

Written by Michael Vass Bob Johnson. The only Black male billionaire in the United States. The man that created Black Entertainment Television (no relation to this blog). Bob Johnson is getting back to his roots. That is he is proposing a new Black-oriented television network to compete with his former BET and TV One. And I [...]

Citigroup - what was known and when?

admin — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 07:47:56 +0000

Written by Michael Vass This year Christmas has come before December, especially if you are a money center bank, a brokerage house, insurance company, or car manufacturer. For regular people though the holiday may not arrive at all. Such is the way things happen when the Government gets involved. The news is out now that Citigroup will [...]

Black buying power and advertising

admin — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 22:41:19 +0000

Written by Michael Vass As the holiday and Christmas seasons quickly approach, even as the stock market and economy falter, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on something that came up in a conversation with a friend of mine. The power of African Americans in the marketplace and the desire for advertising on Black [...]

Auto bailout - a sign of bad government

admin — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 23:04:27 +0000

Written by Michael Vass I just love the way that Congress is trying to look tough these days. An auto industry bailout? Hold on, we need details. Right. Come on, this is the same group of people that handed $700 billion to Secretary Paulson without a plan. It was the same group of people that fell asleep [...]

First Bank of Delaware - credit card panic during credit crisis

admin — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 03:30:49 +0000

Written by Michael Vass When the major media, pundits, and Wall Street scream about how the mortgage crisis will cause liquidity to dry up and hurt the average citizen, I doubt most thought it might affect them as I just had it affect me. It’s not that the value of my house has gone down. I’m not [...]
