Vice President Predicts Voter Backlash

I promised to commend President Obama and his people when I learned of them saying and doing the right thing, and I will hold to that promise. In the spirit of that promise, I hereby commend Vice President Biden for a starkly realistic assessment of the consequences should Congress pass President... Sign in to see full entry.

Did Obama Mean It in Calling his Election a Call for Change in Washington?

I’d say not. Short and sweet – his porkulus bill, now subject of a Senate compromise that will only add $780 billion instead of $920 billion to the federal deficit, is a classic example of the very sort of Washington gladhanding, pork handouts, earmarks and comprehensive waste that he supposedly...

Obama: Recession Will be Irreversible Unless Stimulus Passes

I did not believe my eyes when I read this. Yet, given our President’s propensity for alarmist rhetoric, his apparent proneness to panic attacks, and his eagerness to trash the economy he’s supposed to be leading, this does not surprise me. Excerpted from an article at... Sign in to see full entry.

Do Numbers Mean Anything to High-Ranking Democrats?

I reckon not. First, we had President Obama claim during his campaign that a tornado had killed 10,000 people in Kansas (see http://hotair.com/archives/2007/05/09/video-obama-10000-dead-from-tornado-in-kansas-give-or-take-9988/ ), that “$700 billion is potentially a lot of money” (from presidential...

Obama: Unions Part of Solution to Nation’s Economic Woes?

As if we needed further proof of how out of touch President Obama is with reality, we have this amazing quote from a speech he gave Friday: “I do not view the labor movement as part of the problem, to me it's part of the solution. (Applause.) We need to level the playing field for workers and the... Sign in to see full entry.

Oh, This is Change, All Right – Democrats Vote Pork for Congressman’s Son!

Did I miss something, or did we elect a Congress full of Democrats, and a Democrat President, on the notion that they would bring change? Am I mistaken, or did not House Speakerette Nancy Pelosi (D-California) promise a couple of years ago a “draining of the swamp” that was Congressional corruption?... Sign in to see full entry.

Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee Spreads False Petition

The DCCC, on their site at http://www.dccc.org/page/petition/rush, has a petition with the following assertion: “Last week, Rush Limbaugh actually said that he "hopes" President Obama fails to meet America’s challenges. “Jobs, health care, our place in the world — the stakes for our nation are high...

Enjoy Lower Ga$ Prices While You Can!

Not only do we now have a President whose only regret about last summer’s $4.00+ per gallon outrage was that it didn’t happen more gradually (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4Tmi_fpUHs ), the Democrat-controlled Congress and a number of state legislatures are chomping at the bit to blast ga$...
