President Obama has his priorities straight, indeed.  Within hours of Shirley Sherrod asking to speak to Obama, he spoke to her to express his regret: White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said the president expressed his regret, and told Sherrod he hoped she would accept the Agriculture Department’s offer of a new position, saying she could parlay “this misfortune” into an opportunity to use her life experiences | Read More »

Original post at 73wire.com It’s no secret that President Obama has a golf addiction and that Michelle Obama can officially be called a “golf widow.”  But the media silence and the left’s defense is rather humorous as golf tends to be an elitist sport—exactly the image the left does not want to portray. Remember during the campaign, Obama called it “country club economics” while using | Read More »

Original post at 73wire.com I know others have covered this, but I want to drive the point home: there are no prolife, conservative Democrats. They have gone the way of the dodo bird. Yep, we all said that executive order was a useless piece of paper.  And we were right: Boehner and other Republicans point to reports that the Health and Human Services Department is giving Pennsylvania | Read More »

According to Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unemployment benefits are the best way to create jobs, so why didn’t she get with Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and press him to schedule a pre-recess vote on the Republican alternative to the Democrat’s jobs/unemployment benefits bill introduced on June 30, 2010 by Senator Scott Brown (R-MA). Brown’s bill is deficit neutral and could easily solve the current problems in passing | Read More »

When President Obama signed the hate crimes law in October 2009, he stated: To loud applause, Obama hailed the hate crimes measure in the bill as a step toward change to “help protect our citizens from violence based on what they look like, who they love, how they pray.” So where is Obama now? The firestorm with these hate-filled words outlined here by Velvet Hammer ring | Read More »

Via Jim Geraghty President Obama went to Missouri to campaign for rubber-stamp Democrat Robin Carnahan and this is what he found: Obama is heading to MO and NV today to raise money for Secretary of State Robin Carnahan (D), running for an open Senate seat, and Senate Maj. Leader Harry Reid. But Carnahan’s campaign wasn’t able to completely sell out the Folly Theater, where Obama will appear for | Read More »

Democrat Rob Miller of South Carolina runs away from his constituents and finds refuge in the comforts of the DC establishment to raise campaign cash.  Miller who touts his Iraq war vet status to hide his progressivism, can be branded as nothing more than a rubber-stamp for Obama’s policies.   Where else would loyalty rest than with the DC establishment?  With the strongarm of  Democrat House Speaker | Read More »

Original post at 73wire.com The Hill reports that President Obama, Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and other Democrats have gone back into economic crisis mode: Obama urged congressional leaders in mid-June to pass an extension of tax breaks and unemployment benefits, and up to $50 billion in aid for states and local governments.
