Cowards have no business making hard choices. They are psychologically, physiologically and spiritually deficient, and cannot (are incapable) of making the right choice. They are not built for it — because they are cowards. Furthermore, they are so afraid, they will not allow those with courage to make the right choice for them.

To date, The One has not stopped the U.S. economic decline. By all recent measures, none of The One’s policies to-borrow-and-print-money-and tax-and-spend-it-on-the-government has worked. While Japan is experiencing a slow march towards an uncertain fallout outcome, and it begins to call its debts due from the U.S. Treasury, the Federal Reserve announced the very corrosive policy decision to print $600 billion, presumably — in part | Read More »

From Bloomberg: A survey of 4,518 likely voters by Zogby International Aug. 28-31 put Obama’s approval rating at a record-low 42 percent; it also showed he’s well liked. “He’s got to get control of his presidency,” said John Zogby, president of Zogby International. And the Washington Post has the following assessment for Obamacare: With health-care reform, the administration appears to have two options, one of | Read More »
Reconciliation strategy for health care reform faces opposition from key Democratic Senators. The great New York Times health care legislative strategy takes a lethal blow — again.
