So tonight, Barack Obama will deliver a major speech to Congress and the American people about jobs. From what the media says, we can expect a $300 billion stimulus-like program. Among the ideas are an extension of the employee payroll tax cuts and a new one for employers. I am all for cutting taxes, hence so far so good. But even still, the proposed employer | Read More »
With 15 months to go, it would be a good idea to assess the Republican Presidential field thus far- the declared, the hoped-for, the good, the bad, and the ugly. MITT ROMNEY: The nominal front runner to hear the lamestream media talk. He just seems to be the fall back guy because a savior has not really come along. Should he win the nomination, core | Read More »
In order for any Republican to defeat Barack Obama in 2012, it obviously comes down to performance in key states and flipping certain states that Obama carried in 2008. I am starting with an assumption that states like North Carolina, Virginia and Indiana are essentially red states that caught Obama fever in 2008 and voted Democratic. However, after four miserable years of Barack Obama’s over-reach | Read More »
So, the great debt ceiling debate and controversy is over for now and the post mortems are being written as to who won and who lost. Although the devil is in the details and we really don’t know much of the details, it is a wait and see game now. From my standpoint, the inclusion of some trigger mechanism to force cuts under threat of | Read More »
Recently, a piece of human scum was executed in Texas- Humberto Leal. To restate his crime, he was convicted of murdering and raping a 16-year old in 1994. Not only did he rape her with a stick, which he left in her bloodied nude body, but she was bludgeoned with a 35 pound piece of asphalt. The US Supreme Court, in an unsigned opinion, decided | Read More »
Erwin Chemerinsky, a California law professor, recently wrote an editorial that has been making the rounds in certain newspapers. In it, he asserts the Supreme Court under John Roberts is limiting access to the courts. This follows on the usual accusations of the Court being (1) pro-business, (2) pro-prosecutor, (3) indiscriminately sending people to the death chamber, and (4) eviscerating the exclusionary rule, among other | Read More »
It is plainly and painfully clear that the economy (jobs, income, inflation, housing), the Federal budget (deficits, debts) and the size and scope of the Federal government will be the deciding factors in the 2012 Presidential election. As such, despite the anticipated tactics and strategy of the Democratic Party to, on occasion, divert the subject to social issues in order to curry favor with their | Read More »
This the 4th in a series of articles on the pearls of wisdom that come forth from Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Chairman of the DNC and the perm-challenged Congressman from Florida’s gerrymandered 20th Congressional District. This could be called the Wacky World of Wasserman. On June 5th, she had an editorial in the Sun-Sentinel regarding Obama’s Middle East speech at the State Department. It starts | Read More »
Looking back on some old articles regarding Obama and his labot agenda, or more appropriately organized labor’s agenda, it is clear that thus far the Republicans have held fairly firm against these rather radical set of proposals. Perhaps, the only two “achievements” are the Ledbetter Act and the increasing and alarming influence of the NLRB. Regarding the former, the Ledbetter Act was passed during | Read More »
Just when I thought I would get a break from comments from Debbie Wasserman Schultz, she did not let me down. While the rest of the country was watching the Weinergate scandal unfold with the DNC Chairman saying it was “a private matter between him and his wife,” she unloaded with another highly partisan comment. When taken in the context of who Debbie Wasserman Schultz | Read More »
