President Bush Obama announced a withdrawal from Iraq by the close of 2011. In making the announcement, President Bush Obama noted the progress that Iraq had made as a new democracy in the heart of the Middle East. President Bush Obama states that Iraq is now in a position to take over major responsibility for its own security, and with continued American military assistance this | Read More »
Don’t know which I find more curious – those people on Obama’s “Car Committee” who drive foreign cars or those who drive American cars that are 14 years old and haven’t bought a new car since Moby Dick was a minnow! When I see someone on the committee who drives a 1992 Chevrolet Cavalier, I can only think of the old college professor driving around | Read More »
As has been much publicized, on Wednesday, February 18, 2009, newly sworn-in Attorney General Eric Holder made the following comment: Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and I believe continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards. . . . we, as average Americans, simply do not | Read More »
GM and Chrysler are back for more money. Wow – now there’s a shock. The U.S. government turned on that spigot two months ago and it isn’t going to be turned off anytime soon. GM is looking for another $16 billion and Chrysler for another $2 billion. And, as sure as the day is blue, you can be certain that these amounts are not the | Read More »
Surprise, surprise, surprise! What a month it has been! President Obama promising the most ethical administration in history – even having his mouthpiece Mister Gibbs incredibly parrot these words amongst a growing epidemic of nominee tax cheats – delivers instead a Secretary of Treasury who doesn’t pay his taxes, a HHS nominee who doesn’t pay his taxes, a Labor nominee whose husband doesn’t pay his | Read More »
Let me see if I remember it correctly . . . President Obama said he didn’t want to step on Secretary Geithner’s big day or deny him his day in the limelight . . . something like that. So, Tuesday was his big day . . . can you say, bust? Jiminy Christmas . . . given his abysmal performance (and, no, it was not | Read More »
“This plan is not perfect.” – President Obama addressing the White House Press corp on Monday, February 9, 2009. “I am not going to stand here and tell you that this bill is perfect.” – President Obama addressing an audience in Elkhart, Indiana on Tuesday, February 10, 2009. Shouldn’t we have demanded perfection? From his inauguration forward, as a country, we have heard nothing but | Read More »
In a week dominated by the stimulus bill, I offer my press conference post-mortem observations. First, I watched the press conference in its entirety and, then, listened to the press conference at another sitting. Listening to the press conference gives you a more favorable impression of President Obama’s performance, but not enough to call this a good performance. His video performance was abysmal and his audio | Read More »
Word has it this afternoon, Mitch McConnell, has declared that the Senate GOP will no longer fight against the adoption of the Obama Administration’s Stimulus Bill. Nearly a week ago, I challenged Senator McConnell, in An Open Letter to Senator Mitch McConnell, as follows: That leaves you with a choice, Senator. You can decide to be a leader and fight the passage of this bill, coalesce your | Read More »
Twenty-three years ago, as I stood in Red Square, I learned more acutely than I had ever known previously what it meant to be an American. While the gold towers of the Kremlin spoke of a Moscow from days gone by, the austere backdrop of a grey and lonely communist way of life which appeared everywhere else allowed me to understand why being an American | Read More »
Would someone please inform Senator Collins that once this bill goes to conference, it’s too late to regain your senses? On FoxNews this afternoon, Senator Collins, sounding amazingly uninformed (this is saying something – kindly stated, I have never been overly impressed with her wit given a seeming inability to quickly articulate a cogent argument on nearly any issue) and almost impervious to reason, states | Read More »
Any possibility of having Maine secede? Tonight?!!
The United States Congress is still debating the merit of this now $900 billion BOONDOGGLE! Are you kidding me? What is there to debate? No person in their right mind – hear me Susan Collins? – can possibly conclude that this is the right prescription for America. Any person found voting for this baloney ought to be removed from office by their constituents at the | Read More »
More people oppose this stimulus package than now support it. Republican Senators would be well served to heed this message – vote for this stimulus package and risk being challenged in a Republican primary. There is nothing redeeming about this bill, as currently drafted, and, hopefully, the U.S. Senate is as aware of this fact as the American public apparently has become. Most stringent ethics standards | Read More »
Oh, what a start it has been! For the new White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, this has been a most inauspicious start. Saddled with trying to defend the indefensible, Mister Gibbs gives new meaning to the term ‘deer in headlights.’ Today, attempting to deflect legitimate press inquiry regarding the latest series of tax issues to beset the Obama Administration nominees, Mister Gibbs stated: The | Read More »
Senator McConnell: In light of the House of Representatives vote on the Administration’s stimulus package last evening, your leadership role assumes even greater importance now that the focus has shifted to the Senate’s consideration of this proposal next week. Will your leadership match the gravity of the issues and choices presented in this legislation? We, conservatives, are getting mixed signals from you, Senator. One second, you | Read More »
Senator Mitch McConnell, the ball is now in your court. Despite the incredibly impressive Republican cohesion in the House of Representatives, the question remains, will the Republican caucus in the U.S. Senate be comparably unified in its opposition to President Obama’s $825 billion boondoggle? That, sir, is largely a function of whether you, as Minority Leader, will lead or simply follow. There is no appropriate | Read More »
Ok, it isn’t exactly rocket science – at a point in time, when the U.S. government is spending billions of dollars to save an industry, it might . . . it just might be wise not to encourage the adoption by individual states of unilateral production standards that will destroy the industry. But, this rather obvious notion has apparently been lost on the Obama administration, | Read More »
CALLING ALL REPUBLICAN UNITED STATES SENATORS – it is time to stop the lovefest with President Obama and it’s time to actually be . . . REPUBLICANS. You remember, the party of less government – yeah, I know, you all haven’t done a very good job of demonstrating that lately, but I believe it’s still in your heart, or at least a few of you. | Read More »
On November 4, 2008, in all likelihood, you voted for Senator Barack Obama to be the 44th President of the United States of America. If exit polling is correct, you made this choice because you felt that our country needed a “change” in direction and that Senator Obama was someone who could unify our country. As a result of your support, Senator Obama was elected | Read More »
