Obama’s Numbers Down; Gas Prices Up

         In Obama’s Saturday morning radio address, he speaks of the rising price of gasoline and the effect it is having on the American consumer in particular and the economy in general.  Actually, is less an attempt at empathy with the American public than it is a realization that his popularity and his approval are plummeting as quickly as gasoline prices are rising.  Rasmussen has | Read More »

    Farewell Birthers, Hello Transcripters

         Now that Barack Obama has publicly released a copy of his birth certificate, the great “birther” controversy can hopefully be put to rest.  But, like the diehard moon bats out there, some will not let it rest.  Instead, we have the whispered “Why now?” campaign gearing up.  Why now?  How about simple politics.  Why now?  Maybe because the accusations were beyond the ridiculous in | Read More »

    Obama and Gas Prices: Blowing Hot Air

         Here we go again.  As Americans grapple not only with the loss of jobs, those who do have jobs now find it more expensive to get to those jobs because of the price of gasoline.  Make no mistake: the bulk of our oil imports is refined into gasoline and diesel for transportation purposes.  And once again, the price of gasoline becomes a political football | Read More »

    No (!!) “Clean” Debt Ceiling Bill

         The next major vote in Congress will obviously be whether to increase the Federal debt ceiling.  This is a pivotal point in American fiscal history and policy that could have wide-ranging effects for years to come.  Today, Eric Cantor has fired the first shot and announced that Republicans will insist on structural changes to the budget process or budget cuts in exchange for votes | Read More »

    Donald Trump– Please Go Away

          Whenever I hear the possibility of Donald Trump seeking the Republican nomination, or even an independent run, this is the first thought that enters my mind: “Is this the best the party can do?”  The recent WSJ/NBC poll is disconcerting to say the least.  As a person who works for a Trump brand entity, I can safely state that Donald Trump is not the | Read More »

    Libya, Obama, and Getting Caught With Your Pants Down

          Two years ago, the spontaneous uprisings on the streets of Tehran presaged events in the Middle East today and, more specifically, Obama’s strategy and response.  Then, as the uprising was being brutally suppressed by an Islamo-fascist regime courtesy of Facebook and Twitter, the Obama Administration dithered and offered words.  The end result was obvious.  Fast forward two years and it would appear that the Obama Administration was | Read More »

    Post Mortem #2: The Impending Democratic Armageddon

       While the mainstream media- an unofficial arm of the Democratic Party- contemplates an alleged civil war within the Republican Party, largely overlooked is the impending battle within the Democratic Party.  Unfortunately, that final battle may have been delayed two years by the voters of Nevada, particularly the lackey union members and Hispanics who fell for the garbage of Harry Reid.  Had Reid lost to | Read More »

    A Possible Republican Trifecta in November

      In a previous posting, I noted that the Senate may very well be possibly in play for a Republican take over in November along with the House.  But what about the governor’s races?  They are especially important this year since there will be reapportionment issues and redrawing of Congressional districts as a result of the census.  Currently, Democrats lead among governors 26-24 (actually, 26-23-1 | Read More »

    Obstinancy, Ignorance, or Stupidity

      The two year Presidency of Barack Obama has been replete with some bizarre twists and turns that have many heads spinning.  Everything can be basically reduced down to the fact that he has created a psychological fantasy world around himself and his policies.  Clearly, this Administration is not living in the real world that everyone else sees.   Obama’s take on federal spending and | Read More »

    A Brit Gets It Better Than Obama

      Columnist Janet Daley recently wrote a wonderful article in the Daily Telegraph, a British publication, in anticipation of Prime Minister David Cameron’s visit to the United States this week.  She writes eloquently writes:  “America has learned, thanks to Barack Obama’s crash course in European-style government, about the titanic forces of class differences.  The President’s determination to transform the United States into a social democracy, | Read More »
