The Obama Jobs Plan #2 – Energy Made In America

    The second part of Obama’s plan – which I am still trying to figure out why he didn’t release until two weeks before the election – is focused on achieving energy independence. His overall goal is to pursue an “all of the above” energy strategy. (Hasn’t he been saying this during his first term – before he started campaigning for re-election?) To do this, Obama | Read More »

    The Obama Jobs Plan #1 — Manufacturing

    When I saw this headline on the Fox Nation – CNN: Not Only Is Obama’s Plan Old, but It Doesn’t Add Up – I laughed at first, but then I decided I would look at the plan to see what nonsense the administration is putting out. (You can download a PDF copy of the plan here.) On the first page, you get the overview of | Read More »

    Democratic Campaign Issues

    With the mid-term elections less than a month away, people need to take a hard look at the issues and what has actually been accomplished. So, the Democrats were swept into power in 2008 under the banner of “Hope and Change.” So, let’s see if it’s working. Change the way Washington works Obama wanted to lessen the influence of lobbyists in government. (By recent count, | Read More »

    The Republican “Pledge to America” was not broken

    The problem with politics is that when making a certain point, people often invariably leave very pertinent points out. (Career politicians will intentionally leave contrary points out.) One blogger I came across posted an article about how the GOP needed only four hours to violate their “Pledge to America.” The article he seeded clearly states the GOP, save one representative, unanimously voted against $12 billion in tax | Read More »
