A Pre-Election Post-Mortem
By: davenj1 (Diary) | October 31st at 11:08 PM |
With each passing day, it appears that Barack Obama will be rendered a one-term President. His agenda, such that one exists, may not be the death of liberalism in this country, but it certainly will be death of his brand of liberalism which skirts the boundary with European-style socialism. After the concession speech and rally before a tired and losing battle-weary crowd, the Obama team | Read More »
Obama’s Economic Stupidity
By: davenj1 (Diary) | October 13th at 01:59 PM |
Barack Obama and Joe “Smiley” Biden need to take a rudimentary course in economics. Sarcastic laughs and Big Bird moments aside, both seem to have a strong misunderstanding of basic economic metrics through either ignorance, or stupidity. Take, for example, a statement by Obama that should be hammered over and over by the Romney campaign: “The private sector is doing just fine.” One need only | Read More »
Bring on the Truth
By: davenj1 (Diary) | October 7th at 12:10 PM |
And so, not 24 hours after Barack Obama’s universally panned performance in the first debate against Mitt Romney and continuing to this day, he resorts to a well-worn theme that defines not only his candidacy, but his tenure as president. In a feeble attempt at damage control, Obama has rallied around the theme that Romney lied, was misleading, or mischaracterized his own positions. Harry Reid | Read More »
What to Take From the Democratic Convention
By: davenj1 (Diary) | September 7th at 08:27 AM |
Now that both conventions are completed and we have passed the magical date of Labor Day, the campaign for President begins in earnest with the next big dates coming in October with the debates. Before looking ahead, we should look at the recent past, specifically these conventions. One is left with the impression that when all is said and done despite the spin from both | Read More »
Democratic Psychological Projection
By: davenj1 (Diary) | September 5th at 09:33 AM |
Whether liberal drivel in my local newspapers or on the national news outlets, a disturbingly amusing trend has developed with regards to the Democratic Party’s “message.” The final straw was an interview with Charles Schumer (D-NY) on a morning news show with Charlie Rose. Before getting into it, one needs to understand that the Democrats almost to a person are demonstrating a psychological process that | Read More »
The GOP Platform Proposals
By: davenj1 (Diary) | August 23rd at 10:27 AM |
Although not officially completed, the news out of Tampa regarding the official platform of the Republican Party is making news already. This is an exercise in expressing the alleged values of the party which occurs every four years. In some instances, the Presidential candidate has explicitly rejected their party’s platform; they are not beholden to it. However, it does serve to guide those lower on | Read More »
Don’t Look Now, but Expect Yet Another GM Bail Out
By: davenj1 (Diary) | August 17th at 10:11 AM |
In a recent article for Forbes, contributor Louis Woodhill lays out a convincing argument that in a second Obama Administration, we may be on the hook for yet another auto industry bail out. The numbers do not look good for GM specifically right now and the executive rearranging of the chairs only points to some distress within that company. I will not get into the | Read More »
Stubborn Ohio
By: davenj1 (Diary) | August 14th at 09:50 AM |
There is an old adage- but actually relatively new in US history- that the road to the Presidency runs through Ohio. And, in fact, the last time the voters of Ohio sided with a losing candidate was in 1960 when they opted for Republican Richard Nixon over John F. Kennedy. This year, it would appear that Ohio is poised to yet again be a major | Read More »
Another Installment of the Wasserman-Schultz Watch
By: davenj1 (Diary) | August 14th at 01:52 AM |
Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Congresswoman from Florida and head of the DNC, was on Fox News Sunday Sunday and she did not let anyone down with her Obama rah-rah rant bordering on lies. This is a woman who has been called out by liberal organizations like Factcheck.org for playing fast and loose with the truth. However, in true liberal fashion, when presented with a little inconvenience like | Read More »
About Those Tax Returns: We’ve Seen This Tactic Before
By: davenj1 (Diary) | August 6th at 10:25 AM |
With the current debate instigated by the Democratic Party and David Axelrod and Barack Obama regarding Romney’s tax returns, this strategy is nothing new. Two points are immediately obvious. First, as long as Obama’s obedient media keeps harping on the issue, it will be kept in the forefront. Second, Mitt Romney is under no legal or moral obligation to release ten years worth of tax | Read More »
