Barack Obama may be willing to get taxpayers to give $75 billion to, uh, other taxpayers to save their homes, but what are he and Michelle doing personally to save the American economy? As George W. Bush taught us, when the economy is in peril we must spend.
Which is good news for Rainbow Play Systems Inc., whose "Rainbow Castle" playground-with-swingset was just installed on the White House grounds, yards from the Oval Office. It was a surprise for Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10, and was set up while the girls were at school. Now, did it come out of the Obamas' (taxpayer-provided) living expenses budget, or their own pocket?
And if children's toys weren't enough of a contribution to saving America, Michelle herself is pitching in to personally save one crumbling industry: the media.
Granting an interview to BFF Oprah — to be showcased on the media doyenne's television show as well as in her eponymous magazine — Michelle has provided countless opportunities for advertising to sell, sell, sell! The interview took place last month and Oprah will preview it on her Friday show. So many opportunities to build the type of buzz that sells ads that can be taxed that puts money back in America's pockets!

@getreal: and doing a fine job so far:
March 6 (Bloomberg) — President Barack Obama now has the distinction of presiding over his own bear market.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 20 percent since Inauguration Day, the fastest drop under a new president in at least 90 years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The gauge has lost 53 percent from its October 2007 record of 14,164.53, slipping 4.1 percent to 6,594.44 yesterday.
BUT I AM STARTING TO FEEL BETTER!
Twitter cofounder Ev Williams is headed to the White House today.
The administration invited him to join a “young business leaders" summit to discuss the economic crises.
As Ev himself puts it — in a Twitter message, of course — "[this] must mean they're *really* out of ideas."
A reminder: With 6 million members and 700% plus growth, Twitter makes no money in the US. (It sells some ads in Japan).

Jobless rate bolts to 8.1 percent, 651K jobs lost
Friday March 6, 8:57 am ET
By Jeannine Aversa, AP Economics Writer
Jobless rate jumps to 8.1 percent in Feb., highest since late 1983; employers cut 651,000 jobs
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. unemployment rate bolted to 8.1 percent in February, the highest since late 1983, as cost-cutting employers slashed 651,000 jobs amid a deepening recession.
Both figures were worse than analysts expected and the Labor Department's report shows America's workers being clobbered by a relentless wave of layoffs unlikely to ease anytime soon.
Rome burned while Nero tap danced in oil fields.
yea but, whose economy?
Bigoted Rhonda, if you're asking what country makes the swing set they bought…

@anon: His cigarettes are USA made too!
unlike Rush's cigars.
I guess Rush really does hate America.
@anon: Bill Clinton liked Cuban cigars also, but it least he found a nice American ashtray for them:
A little reading assignment, written by Reverend Wright after Obama dumped him and he got pissed.
In "The Audacity of Deceit" you’ll learn how Obama:
Blocked emergency medical aid for babies who survived abortion.
Plans to ban the use of firearms by lawabiding citizens—even for self-defense.
Was abandoned by his bigamist father and raised in a Muslim society—and how this influences his values.
Would raise tax rates to a Hoover-like 60 percent.
Will transform the U.S. Treasury into the United Nations’ ATM.
Wants fuel prices high and farmland taken out of production.
Will grant federal medical insurance to 12 million illegal aliens and increase emergency room costs alone by $15.4 billion annually.
Would transfer child-rearing from parents to the federal government with his secular “0 to 5” program.
You will also read exclusive polling results that reveal the 30 percent of Americans who pay no taxes, what they believe, and who they are planning to vote for.
His goal? Replace the Judeo-Christian values that gave birth to the “land of the free” with failed radical leftist beliefs.
This is the one book every American must read—before it’s too late!
Note: call Reverend Wright and tell him to stop lying about Barack. (1-800-DAMNUSA)
