What if Obama Really Meant We Shouldn’t Set our Thermostats at 72?

One of President Obama’s campaign lines was, “"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said. Oh, really? If he really meant what he said, he has either changed his mind... Sign in to see full entry.

Obama the Inexperienced Taps Inexperience to Lead Intelligence

Did I miss something, or did Obama promise to select experienced leadership to offset his own inexperience? Yet in what is termed a clean break with Bush administration policies, President-elect Obama has selected two utter neophytes to lead the CIA and to be his director of intelligence. In...

About this Blog

This blog is dedicated to President Barack Hussein Obama's oft-repeated desire to be held accountable. I am honored to fulfill his wish, and I will do it in two ways. I will examine the consequences, should he mean exactly what he says, and I will compare his words with established facts. His direct quotations will be used wherever possible.
