We saw today that protests over Obama’s commencement address and receipt of an honorary agree from Notre Dame started in earnest leading to 15 arrests including Alan Keyes. The protestors were noted as peaceful but “…..were told they could protest all they want in the town of South Bend, Ind., but once they stepped onto Notre Dame property, they would be arrested.” They did not | Read More »
Jobs gained / (lost) in April 2009 per the US Dept of Labor : (539,000) Jobs gained / (lost) in March 2009 per the US Dept of Labor (revised): (699,000) Jobs gained / (lost) in February 2009 per the US Dept of Labor (revised) : (681,000) Number of jobs promised by the Obama administration : 4,000,000 Number of jobs remaining to hit goal : 5,919,000 Link to | Read More »
These will be soft numbers and impossible to prove…..but then, of course, so was Obama’s claim of creating or saving 150,000 jobs (looking forward to seeing that formula of how you compute saved jobs Barry). I’ll start the bidding: Cost of New York flyover/photo-op by Air Force One : $328,835 Cost of lost productivity, disrupted business, emergency response, etc. caused by general panic due to | Read More »
Jobs gained / (lost) in February 2009 per the US Dept of Labor : (651,000) Jobs gained / (lost) in March 2009 per the US Dept of Labor : (663,000) Number of jobs promised by the Obama administration : 4,000,000 Number of jobs remaining to hit goal : 5,314,000 Perhaps, there are not enough of those “shovel-ready” jobs that the stimulus was supposed to produce. Notes: | Read More »
Jobs gained / (lost) in February 2009 per the US Dept of Labor : (651,000) Number of jobs promised by the Obama administration : 4,000,000 Number of jobs remaining to hit goal : 4,651,000 Notes: Number of jobs promised by the Obama administration has varied between 3.5 – 4 million. He promised 4 million early, and then started easing off on that. I’m | Read More »
NOTE : Obviously the below is fictitious (but I tend to think this is about how it would go). jazzycmk : Mt. Attorney General, I want to thank you so much for taking some time out of your busy schedule to speak with us today. Eric Holder : Thank you, jazzy. What publication do you represent again? jcmk : It doesn’t matter. But let’s | Read More »
I have been trying hard to give the President the benefit of the doubt. Obviously, he was not my guy, but I don’t want the country to suffer in order for Republicans or conservatives to score political points. At the same time, inevitably, I was likely going to be wary of him. During the Presidential debates, the topic of spending cuts and budget priorities came | Read More »
On Michael Steele’s election as RNC Chairman : I like it. Steele brings a lot of enthusiasm and energy to the position, which is something the GOP sorely needs. He is also a nationally recognized figure thanks to his appearances on Fox and elsewhere. He’ll know how to deal with and combat the media. I had no beef with Duncan. I think he just presided | Read More »
Regarding the nasty stories being spread by McCain staffers, I think McCain could end this almost immediately. Unlike others, I don’t think he should publicly address it. That just lends credence to the story. I think he should just do a private conference call with all the campaign insiders and offer them a one-time get out of jail free card. Something along the lines of | Read More »
So the election has come and gone. I was, of course, hoping for a McCain-Palin win, but I was braced for an Obama victory. Yet, it’s funny, no matter how much you steel yourself against something, it still comes as something of a shock when it actually happens. It’s like a dear sick relative that has been living on borrowed time, and you know what’s | Read More »
This article is from the Columbus Dispatch and is also posted on The Drudge Report. State employee says checks on the newly famous are new to her This one keeps getting deeper and deeper. At least the Inspector General in Ohio is now investigating. Here’s the page to send OH governor Ted Stickland a note letting him know what you think of this situation. He’s | Read More »
I’m hoping for the best. I’ve voted early, and I went to a great McCain rally in Nationwide Arena in Columbus on Friday night. McCain was fired up. However, facts are facts and polls are polls, and John & Sarah face a steep uphill climb on Tuesday. But I’m keeping the faith. Stranger things have happened. Assuming that the polls are correct and Obama does | Read More »
While Bill O’Reilly’s pomposity grates on me at times, he is one of the fairest media personalities out there. He may drive liberals up the wall, but he has never been a Republican apologist. He has gone hard after the Bush administration on many issues, notably illegal immigration. While he certainly leans conservative, I think he calls it like he sees it, and I respect | Read More »
I would love to ask this question. “Senator Obama, your election would be an historic landmark in racial progress. I can’t imagine a clearer signal that the proverbial playing field has been leveled than an African American being elected as President of the United States. With that in mind, do you have plans to roll back affirmative action programs?” As much as I would like | Read More »
On Fox’s front page: Obama campaign freezes out Floida TV station Outside of O’Reilly, this is the first hard-hitting interview I’ve seen by a reporter of the Obama / Biden campaign. And Joe did not like it. Apparently this TV reporter did not get the memo from the Obama campaign about how interviews are supposed to work. The Obama campaign’s response? It is freezing out | Read More »
I’ve got to hand it to you MSM, you outdid yourself this week. First we have Joe Biden warning of an international incident within 6 months of an Obama Presidency to test his mettle. Oh, and by the way, the country probably won’t like Obama’s response. Where was the shocked coverage of that one? Later in the week, we have Drew Griffin of CNN interviewing | Read More »
So Biden says that within six months there will be an international crisis to test Barack Obama’s “mettle”. This is, of course, just the latest example of “foot-in-mouth” disease that continues to plague Joe the Senator. I think he forgot that the Democratic primaries were over and that he was no longer running against Senator Obama, but rather with him. Why else would you take | Read More »
So I just read an account of Joe Biden making another one of his classic gaffes. To paraphrase, Biden said the following: Biden : “Barack Obama knows what is important in this election, and its a 3-letter word — jobs. J – O – B – S.” Now is this important with all the other issues swirling in this election? Of course not. However, when | Read More »
