Via Political Wire: “Over the last 15 months we’ve created over 2.1 million private sector jobs. (Laughter.)” – President Obama, in an official transcript of a fundraising speech this week.

Via Ed Morrissey: I got a kick out of President Obama saying that even when the cameras go away we’ll still be there for you. That ain’t the way this is going to play out. If anything, the cameras being here have compelled outside interests – government, BP – to kick this into another gear. With all due respect, the President might have had his | Read More »
“I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that … this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow.” – Barack Obama, June 3, 2008. … or stopped even.

This is an open thread so you can talk about anything. And if you can’t think of anything, well … I’ll give you a topic: Obama was denied the Olympics, then he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Keep ‘em home.That should be the motto of every conservative with children in public school on the 8th of this month. That’s the day | Read More »
So I received an email/comment this morning about a craigslist ad soliciting health care activism for money. “Activism for money,” I thought!! Was this it at last? The missing link Democrats have been searching for? Obamacare opponents turning up at town halls really are a mob? We really are nothing but a slew of paid hacks drummed up by the promise of easy cash by | Read More »
Here’s a hilarious segment from today’s Fred Thompson Show: Jeri: Posters of Obama depicted as the Joker have been popping up all over L.A. Is Obama actually like the Joker?

. The left and the press (but I repeat myself) are falling all over each other in their haste to congratulate Obama and his manly response to the pirates.
