Obama Hut - Now You're Spending

Defiant settlers build new outpost near Migron containing 'Obama Hut'

In defiance of US President Barack Obama's call on Israel to stop settlement activity, defiant settlers built a new outpost on Friday morning between Migron and Kochav Ya'acov.

At the outpost, which they named Oz Yehonatan, the settlers built a wooden structure they mockingly called the "Obama Hut," saying it was a sign of appreciation for the US president for his actions that had led to a dramatic rise in the number of outposts.

One of the activists said of Obama, "He's an Arab Muslim and a gentile, he is fighting against the Jewish people and has declared that he will continue to do so. We already stated our intention to continue to build, no matter who is fighting us - Egypt, Germany or the US."

"Obama, in his audacity, dreams that 350,000 Jews can be removed from Judea and Samaria, but they are a fact that cannot be changed," [National Union MK Michael Ben-Ari] was quoted by Army Radio as saying.

I'm surprised the Obama huts started in Israel first. It's only a matter of time before the unemployed masses in America start camping in Obama Huts in Washington DC and around the US to protest His Presidency's horrid economic policies; just like the Hooverville of the Great Depression.

-Note: As a certain commentator has noted... the Obama Huts in Israel are actually larger than the other Obama Hut in Kenya that His Presidency's half-brother George lives in. George has been recently arrested for marijuana possession and was taken form his hut. Obama is definitely not his brother's keeper.

It was at the beginning of the Great Depression that Hoover became President. He enacted the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act. It raised tariffs on imported goods and was not repealed until after World War II.

From Wikipedia [I know, not the most reliable source]
"Hoover expanded civil service coverage of Federal positions, canceled private oil leases on government lands, and by instructing the Justice Department and the Internal Revenue Service to go after gangsters for tax evasion..."
To a Progressive a corporation trying to make untaxed money is a gangster. This is all happening again.

"President Hoover, in 1931, urged the major banks in the country to form a consortium known as the National Credit Corporation (NCC).[33] The NCC was an example of Hoover's belief in volunteerism as a mechanism in aiding the economy. Hoover encouraged NCC member banks to provide loans to smaller banks to prevent them from collapsing." Sure sounds like giving money to the biggest banks to "trickle down" to the smaller ones to open credit is not a new idea. Obama agreed to TARP (bank bailout).

"The final attempt of the Hoover Administration to rescue the economy was the passage of the Emergency Relief and Construction Act which included funds for public works programs and the creation of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC) in 1932. The RFC's initial goal was to provide government-secured loans to financial institutions, railroads and farmers. The RFC had minimal impact at the time, but was adopted by Franklin Delano Roosevelt and greatly expanded as part of his New Deal."
Unemployment never got below double digits until America was slapped in the face by World War II. Hoover and FDR's policies did not save jobs. It was the War and the repeal of their policies after the War that kept unemployment down. The $787 billion Recovery Act is just a bigger attempt to show up FDRs try, which was a bigger attempt to try and show up Hoover. Hoover didn't spend enough, FDR didn't spend enough...His Presidency will. So much for change and hope.
