I don’t want to mock too indiscriminately here…God knows how badly I would like to see a jobs bill that would foster a genuine hiring environment and help drag us out of the depression-like environment we’ve suffered with for so long, but really?: It’s a bipartisan jobs bill that would hand President Barack Obama a badly needed political victory and placate Republicans with tax cuts | Read More »
Your new-found zest for camaraderie and bipartisanship wouldn’t be timed to coincide with your crash in the polls now, would it? I mean, who doesn’t want you to fix the jobs crisis and put that health care nonsense out to pasture like the washed-up brood mare that it has become…but c’mon now-don’t you credit us with any well-earned cynicism and suspicion as you start calling | Read More »
So sayeth White House deputy national security adviser John Brennan, at least. Funny how that never occurred to him and his fellow Democrats when George W. Bush was in the White House. Someone needs to be taken out behind the woodshed. Consider Brennan’s whining and bellyaching about being called out for sucking at his job: Politically motivated criticism and unfounded fear-mongering only serve the goals | Read More »
What a curious approach to diplomacy our President has chosen for Iran. Having promised to meet them with no preconditions back in ’07 as a candidate, President Obama has decided to deploy a “missile shield to protect American allies in the Gulf from attack by Tehran.” How far we’ve come in our journey with Obama’s “on the job training” gig. Too bad he doesn’t care | Read More »
We’ve been telling Obama and the Democrats that we are not pleased with what they’re doing. We kicked them in the shins with NJ and VA, and then we beat them over the head with Massachusetts just to make sure we drove the point home. Obama himself JUST responded by telling us he understood, that he and Congress had “Lost Touch with American People Last | Read More »
It’s important that, before the outcome of the Coakley-Brown contest is known, we ‘take stock’ of how things are going for the Democrats since they took control of the Federal Government. Regardless the winner of Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat, Americans are beginning to understand what they actually have to show for a year’s worth of life under a Government completely controlled by the Democrat party. | Read More »
[In light of news that Obama is headed to Massachusetts after all, it's only right that I update this piece: Democratic officials disclosed the president's plans Friday on condition of anonimity because they were not authorized to pre-empt a White House announcement. "If Scott Brown wins, it'll kill the health bill," Democrat Barney Frank, D-Mass., said, underscoring the stakes of Tuesday's special election. Well, if | Read More »
I just love waking up to headlines like these: ‘Majority Would Vote Against Obama’: A year into his tenure, a majority of Americans would already vote against Pres. Obama if the ’12 elections were held today, according to a new survey. I know, I know…I shouldn’t be surprised by this. I AM entertained though. Just 34% say the country is moving in the right direction, | Read More »
Nothing else explains this latest hallucination from Obama apologists: The White House Tuesday argued President Barack Obama’s “steady diplomacy” had made America stronger and renewed its moral authority despite “unprecedented challenges” in his first year in office. But the assessment, posted on the White House website, did not dwell on the lack of success garnered by one of Obama’s top priority foreign policy drives, peace | Read More »
The quickly fading story of Harry Reid’s comments about Barack Obama’s “light skin” and “non-Negro dialect” offered an opportunity for the President to lead on the issue of race in America, and he passed. Back in March of 2008, given a similar opportunity to show his leadership on matters of race (in trying to justify Rev. Wright’s acid rhetoric against America and the white man), | Read More »
Strom Thurmond was an unapologetic segregationist. He unsuccessfully ran for President once, but for some reason South Carolina saw his talents as a Politician to be sufficiently satisfactory to put him in office as their Governor for 4 years, and in the US Senate for 48 years (both as a Democrat AND a Republican)…this, DESPITE his views on race. He never withdrew those positions, nor | Read More »
I’m not, and neither are 3.4 million of my fellow Americans since this President took office. Just ask the 85,000 Americans that sucked it up this Christmas season and went without…for themselves and their families and friends… in the name of President “I will save the world” Obama. If you’re still not convinced, just ask the 661,000 people that just threw up their hands and | Read More »
Funny how the ruling majority in Congress behaves when the light shines a little too brightly on their smoke-free backroom shenanigans. Despite their self-delusions of openness and transparency, the Democrats mean to get health care done behind closed doors with no interference (read “close inspection”) from the media or the American people. As the pressure mounts for them NOT to do that, the perpetrators are | Read More »
Hillary Clinton once said, during her run for President against her current boss, that the Presidency was no place for on the job training. She said she would be ready to lead from day one and that she would know what to do when that 3 am call came to the White House. Whether or not true of Hillary, we have learned these last 12 | Read More »
So shouts the headline at the Guardian. A farce indeed. First, we have US Senator John Kerry making a 100% guarantee to Copenhagen attendees that, should Copenhagen end with some sort of agreement, the US Congress will pass legislation in 2010 “that is going to have an impact on emissions.” There is one not-so-small caveat: John Kerry mentioned one key requirement that the talks had | Read More »
Erick’s piece this morning couldn’t be more appropriately timed, given the NYT story about what Obama plans to do in Afghanistan. It is clear that this President has surrounded himself with people that have little to no private sector experience and empowered them to flex any muscle of the federal machine that suits their fancy or ideological whimsy. As dangerous as it might be having | Read More »
Four more US Soldiers died in Afghanistan yesterday as we continued to wait anxiously for Obama to make up his mind about how to respond to General McChrystal’s report. During the pre-surge days in Iraq, 4 dead soldiers was enough for every major news outlet to scream from the rooftops about the costs of war. Now? Hardly a whisper. Why is it so hard, Mr. | Read More »
Via Drudge, the Telegraph is reporting that Obama’s Poll numbers have dropped farther and faster than any President on record over the last 50 years. Apparently, people think he’s doing a lousy job. The failed and failing Presidency of Barack Obama appears to know no bounds when it comes to showing a lack of leadership, a fundamental inability to understand the plight of the people | Read More »
There’s no point in railing any more about the Nobel freak show…the entire world has already chimed in. No, I think I’m really past all that. But what DOES concern me about Obama “winning” the Peace prize is what giving him this award really means: those of us that actually TRY, through hard work, dedication, and sacrifice…commitment and perseverance…trial and error…and blood, sweat, and tears…WE | Read More »
Let’s review the scorecard. Obama has taken over the Auto Industry…check. Obama has taken over the Energy Industry…check. Obama has taken over the Banking and Finance Industry…check. And, despite our collective wails and gnashing of teeth, Obama has presumably taken over the Healthcare and Health Insurance Industries as well. Obama has been a busy little bee. At least he has reassured us now by having | Read More »
