The Charles River Associates, a Harvard based economics consulting group for those of you that think that the president of the USA should only come from that school, estimates that Obama/Democrat climate bill just passed by the House of Representatives will result in a net loss of 2.5 million jobs per year rather than a net creation of green jobs.
You won’t see this in the Obama Costa Times.

When Congressman John Murtha was opposing the Iraq war he was hailed as a hero in the pages of the liberal Contra Costa Times. But slowly, the real John Murtha is coming out. Here’s a story by the very liberal ABC News about how the hero of the left has managed to hookwink the American taxpayer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvzNj0Vobss
Michelle contributing to global warming, doesn’t care (6/28/09, not in CCTimes)

Seems Queen Michelle Obama took the girls on a side trip to London while President Spouse was in Europe in early June.
- What exactly did that trip cost the taxpayers?
- Given the so-called critical nature of global warming and CO2 emissions, was this the right thing for Queen Michelle to be doing with a taxpayer funded 757 and the limos needed to ferry her around?
- What exactly were the CO2 emissions generated by this side trip?
- Isn’t President Government quadrupling the deficit? How is this trip helping balance the budget?
- At a time when 10% of Americans are unemployed, shouldn’t Queen Michelle be visiting American tourist destinations instead?
The hypocracy of the Obama’s knows no limits. And it would have been nice for the global warming fear-mongers at the CCTimes to call the Obama’s on wasteful trips.
Gunmakers profit from Obama fears (6/24/09, page C2)

Drew Voros, CCTimes Business Editor
It would be great if Drew spent as many column inches explaining why the government should NOT be running GM. Instead, Drew hammers gunmaker Smith & Wesson for having the temerity to take advantage of the fear that President Government will take away their guns. Every time a liberal takes the White House you can assume gun sales will go up. Apparently no one told Voros the obvious.

Garry Trudeau, political cartoonist found on Comics pages, not Editorial pages
So Garry rips the USA for waterboarding 3 terrorists committed to the destruction of the system that allows Garry to be a wealthy man. Yet we never saw any mention in Doonesbury of the ridiculous behavior of Muslim men around the world after the publication of the Danish political cartoons picturing Mohamed. Nor do we ever see Trudeau mention how Muslim terrorists tortured our soldiers the last time they were captured.
With liberals like Trudeau, the bad guys are never really that bad, but America is always wrong.
Congressman uses FERC to threaten witness (6/21/09, not in CCTimes)

Congressman Ed Markey (D-MA) sent a letter to Federal Energy Regulartory Commission (FERC) asking for an investigation of MidAmerican Energy Holding Company after its CEO had testified AGAINST the Waxman-Markey global warming bill.
Did you see this in the liberal Contra Costa Times? Nope, Markey’s a Democrat. Put him on the other side and it’s a front page story 4 days in a row.

CCTimes Editorial
First paragraph: Congress and President Barrack Obama have the best chance since the early years of the Clinton administration to fix our nation’s health care system. This time, let’s not waste the window of opportunity.
Our point: Are the editorial writers of the Contra Costa Times willing to give up their existing health care coverage for a system provided by the same government that provides us Medicare and the Post Office? In fact, we challenge the editorial writers to find us one thing outside of the military that the US government does well enough to warrant the confidence they express in this editorial.
We find it charming that these ‘geniuses’ writing the editorials take to heart every statistic uttered by a fear-mongering president who just jacked up the Bush deficit by 300% and promised us that unemployment would NOT go over 8% if the ’stimulus bill’ was passed quickly. I guess the editors haven’t seen that failure because they’re too busy wringing their hands over our medical system (which draws patients from all over the world; if only most government programs failed like that!).
And we here at CCTimesWatch find the charge of greed against hospitals, doctors and insurance companies a hoot. Is the Contra Costa Times distributed for free? It is not the role of the government OR the newspaper to set a doctor’s salary.
Fortunately, the latter part of the editorial started to point out some of the more common sense approaches to reducing medical costs, but government control is a recipe for disaster.
