What happens if you think about the Obama Administration?

admin — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 16:49:22 +0000

Written by Michael Vass I was just thinking about something recently. Just the way that politicians have shifted what they say as facts change around them. The biggest recent example has to be the report on how the Obama Stimulus has worked so far. If you recall, back in February the Obama Administration was boasting broadly that [...]

That’s what I call a stimulus

admin — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:26:51 +0000

Written by Michael Vass Among the many things that Germans are known for, efficiency is perhaps the top of the list that comes to mind. So it may be no surprise that a select group of German businesses have found a way to really stimulate consumers. The key to the idea is that German has legal prostitution. [...]

Tax the ‘rich’ - it’s not my money

admin — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 20:36:30 +0000

Written by Michael Vass I was speaking with a friend over the weekend about the interview Sean Hannity and Michael Moore had. My friend was mostly aligned with Michael Moore, I was not. In the discussion we came to the big question, do businesses and the “rich” pay a fair amount of taxes. The opinion of my [...]

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

admin — Fri, 15 May 2009 01:57:03 +0000

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 [...]

Bob Johnson is at it again

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 [...]
