Yesterday in Texas, Democrat candidate for governor, Bill White, boycotted President Obama’s trip to Texas. The President better not bank on many photo ops with Democrat candidates in Red State America. The New York Times reports: President Obama shared an enthusiastic handshake and a hearty clap on the shoulder with this state’s Republican governor, Rick Perry, when Air Force One touched down here on Monday. But | Read More »
The biggest earmark in American history has been doled out to a company in Illinois, the President’s home state, in the name of green jobs. The President’s $862 billion Stimulus plan has been an abysmal failure. It provided states and localities with billions in bailout moneys, funded wasteful projects like the Monkey cocaine study at Wake Forest and given false hope to Americans that the President has | Read More »
The Coburn-McCain report titled Summertime Blues is full Stimulus projects to promote the Stimulus and ObamaCare. This report is a must read for all conservatives who care about our fiscal future. If President Obama is willing to spend your tax dollars on how monkeys react under the influence of cocaine, he is willing to squander your tax dollars on any and all government waste. The left is | Read More »
Transparency is a tough promise for President Obama to keep. Politico reports today: Four times in the last week, President Barack Obama has quietly slipped into private, exclusive Democratic Party fundraisers around town, glad-handing well-heeled donors away from the eyes of the press – and contradicting his pledge to run the most transparent administration in history. The Senate will debate the nomination of anti gun activist Elena Kagan to | Read More »
Senators Tom Coburn (R-OK) and John McCain (R-AZ) have put out Summertime Blues to show Americans how their tax dollars are being squandered by President Obama in the name of “Stimulus.” Would you believe that they have found Stimulus money being used to study the effects of how monkeys react under the influence of cocaine? No way. How ’bout $1.9 million of your tax dollars to listen to | Read More »
The report Summertime Blues, a report issued by Senators Tom Coburn (R-OK) and John McCain (R-AZ), on how your stimulus money is being spent is replete with wasteful programs.

Thank you Senators Tom Coburn (R-OK) and John McCain (R-AZ) for issuing the report, Summertime Blues. I have been laughing for one whole day after reading some of the project that President Obama considers “stimulus.” One needs to ask the ever smug Paul Krugman over at the New York Times to explain how $144,541 of your tax dollars spent to study how “monkeys react under the influence | Read More »
Senators Tom Coburn (R-OK) and John McCain (R-AZ) have put out an excellent report on how your stimulus money is being spent.

Anti gun activist Elena Kagan’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court hits the Senate floor today. Ironically, this is the same day that the Washington Post reports that a federal judge in Virginia refused to dismiss a challenge to ObamaCare’s mandates. This case is going to the U.S. Supreme Court, yet many Senators are not willing to put up a real fight before this left wing extremist is | Read More »
Many liberals are fleeing President Obama. Gallup has the President at 45% approval and 47% disapproval for a -2% gap today. In a story titled “Democrats Scatter Monday as Obama Comes to Town,” on the NBC affiliate for Atlanta, GA, further evidence is provided of this emerging phenomena: If you think this will be a time for Democrats running for office to rally around the chief executive- -you probably | Read More »
No roll call votes in Senate today. Cloture on TARP, Jr, H.R. 5297, was not invoked yesterday on a 58-42 vote. The Senate will have a cloture vote next week on the motion to concur with an amendment to H.R. 1586, the FAA Reauthorization bill. Reid is using the FAA bill as a shell to move this amendment to add $10 billion for education funds and a Medicaid funding provision. The nomination of anti-Second Amendment nominee Elena | Read More »
The Senate is debating a bill today that includes bailouts for small business, TARP, Jr. The debate between right and left on this legislation is a great example of the big government versus small government approach to economic growth. H.R.5297, officially titled the “Small Business Jobs” bill, will spend another day on the Senate floor as the left pushes to retain the TARP bailout model for | Read More »
The Center for Public Integrity has just broken an important story that indicates a failed federal response to the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. According to the report: The Coast Guard has gathered evidence it failed to follow its own firefighting policy during the Deepwater Horizon disaster and is investigating whether the chaotic spraying of tons of salt water by private boats | Read More »
Yesterday, in the Washington Post, Ezra Klein argued for Democrat Senators to use their power to abolish the filibuster. Ironically, Ezra Klein in 2005 argued that the same tactic when used by Republicans was a “power grab” and an abuse of power. Place Klein’s Washington Post column of 2010 next to the Klein column of 2005 and one might conclude that Klein is a partisan hack. | Read More »
President Obama wants to reduce criticism of his unpopular government. It is to be expected, because the American people have little confidence in the Obama Administration and the federal government. Even left wing Think Tank, the Center for American Progress (CAP), has released data that “more than a quarter of the public says they have little or no confidence in government.” This report is evidence that, even the left | Read More »
Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ) is the Republican key for the Obama Administration to pass New START Treaty this year. 67 Senators are needed to pass any treaty, therefore the support of Republicans is necessary to pass START. Republicans may want to stall passage of the treaty into the next Congress, because the New START Treaty may harm national security. The Obama Administration may have signed a side agreement | Read More »
So much for President Obama’s promises of economic stimulus. The New York Times reports that moments after the President signed a new law to expand regulation over the financial sector, one business group complained that the new law will discourage job growth. The Business Roundtable complained in a statement that the law “takes our country in the wrong direction” and may discourage investment and job growth, echoing | Read More »
President Obama may be one of the most divisive presidents of our lifetime. The President is set to sign a Financial Services Reform bill full of racial and gender preferences today. Clearly the lack of racial and gender preferences (and quotas) in the financial sector had nothing to do with the financial meltdown of 2008, yet the legislation set up a huge bureaucratic mechanism to force racial and gender preferences on | Read More »
