Barack Obama and Benghazi: What is the body count that separates the president from the candidate?

By: imperfectamerica (Diary)  |  May 13th at 10:37 AM  | 

There have been three different parts to the Benghazi story. Not surprisingly, Barack Obama has managed to fail spectacularly in all three. The first aspect of this failure has to do with the run-up to September 11th. Given terrorist’s general penchant for anniversaries and the fact that September 11th is such a trophy date for them, the Obama administration should have had every American embassy | Read More »

Barackalypse Now: The story of one man’s destruction of the American Dream

By: imperfectamerica (Diary)  |  March 4th at 09:01 AM  | 

By now you have figured out that Armageddon did not occur on Friday and the dire warnings from the White House that the nation would essentially collapse were, shall we say, somewhat overstated. That doesn’t mean however that the nation and American prosperity is in any less danger. Barackalypse Now is indeed upon us, and it has nothing to do with the Sequester. It has | Read More »

Barack Obama finally embraces Supply Side Economics – but adds just a wee hint of redistribution

By: imperfectamerica (Diary)  |  January 28th at 07:50 AM  | 

Last week the Bureau of Labor Statistics released a report that said that the labor force participation rate (LFPR) dropped to 63.6%, the lowest rate since Jimmy Carter was in office. Essentially that means that of the population of 16 year and older, 37.4% of them decided not to work or not to seek work. That’s 88.8 million people! To put that in perspective, when | Read More »

Mitt Romney as Alexander the Great!

By: imperfectamerica (Diary)  |  October 29th at 08:47 AM  | 

Sadly, this summer Andy Griffith died. Growing up in the 1970’s, watching the Andy Griffith show was simply part of our day. Between episodes of Howdy Doody, The Brady Bunch and Gilligan’s Island, the Andy Griffith Show was just another show where life lessons played out on TV. Together these shows were “Americana” incarnate, where stories about honesty, hard work and community were on display | Read More »

Barack Obama Jumps the Shark and Lands on the Wedding Cake

By: imperfectamerica (Diary)  |  June 25th at 08:05 AM  | 

President Obama has jumped the shark. The phrase “Jumping the Shark” dates back to 1977 when the cast of the popular television show Happy Days took a trip out to Los Angeles and The Fonz, played by Henry Winkler, jumped over a shark cage while waterskiing. The original use indicated when a TV program had run out of creative and compelling storylines and began to | Read More »

Barack Spicoli Obama exposes the fallacy of Affirmative Action

By: imperfectamerica (Diary)  |  June 18th at 06:24 AM  | 

According to Wikipedia, affirmative action began in 1961 when JFK signed Executive Order 10925 which required federal agencies “take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, creed, color, or national origin”. For the subsequent half century the United States has been debating in universities, workplaces and ultimately in the courts about what | Read More »

Beyond Mitt… the Conservative challenge to saving America

By: imperfectamerica (Diary)  |  April 23rd at 08:38 AM  | 

In 1990 I knew everything I needed to know about Rush Limbaugh. He was a racist. He was sexist. He was an arrogant, rich SOB who didn’t care about the poor. He was a fool who knew nothing about how the world worked. How did I know these things despite never once having listened to his program? Via the media of course. Despite having a | Read More »

Obama is like Lincoln… My take on Hollywood’s heartwarming paean to Barack Obama

By: imperfectamerica (Diary)  |  March 19th at 02:55 PM  | 

I’ve just sat through the 17 minute homage to Barack Obama narrated by Tom Hanks. How is it possible that Barack Obama’s approval rating is even close to 50%? Why isn’t it 100%? According to Hanks, Barack Obama is the real deal. Fearless. Intrepid. Selfless. And most of all: Successful. Like Lincoln before him, the events of the day forced his hand and the resulting | Read More »

Why Barack Obama doesn’t care that you’re paying $5 a gallon for gasoline.

By: imperfectamerica (Diary)  |  February 27th at 08:33 AM  | 

Because he doesn’t pay for gasoline of course. But that’s not it. Despite his protestations to the contrary, Barack Obama thinks you’re stupid. Gasoline prices are 90% higher today than they were when he took office and he wants you to think he has nothing to do with it. At the same time however he wants you to give him credit for the fact that | Read More »

An uninspiring Mitt Romney will impale the GOP and give Barack Obama 4 more years…

By: imperfectamerica (Diary)  |  February 6th at 06:15 AM  | 

What is Mitt Romney doing in the Republican Party? (Although a better question might by why has the Republican Party strayed so far to the left that a guy like Mitt Romney could be its standard bearer…) Everyone knows the story of Mitt Romney. He ran Bain Capital and financed a number of new businesses and helped rescue others. True, he and Bain failed a | Read More »
