Demagogueing Gridlock

admin — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 19:59:21 +0000

After waiting more than two days to respond to Standard & Poor’s downgrade of US credit to AA+ President Obama showed that he really is a one-trick pony by blaming everything but his own incompetent administration. He called attention to the earthquake that damaged Japan and the Arab Spring (which he supports) then sniped at …

Obama’s Arrogance on the Debt Ceiling

admin — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 03:56:12 +0000

Obama tried invoking Ronald Reagan yet again in his speech on the debt limit but I still haven’t heard any commentators mention one thing that I see as standing out in his speech. Leave out the usual class warfare talking points and the poll tested “balanced" approach” and you will see how he wants to …

In Obamaland things must be different. They have to be as he is the first politician who has ever uttered the phrase job-killing tax cuts. In Obamaland tax cuts cause job losses. Everybody else in our world talks about job-killing tax hikes but maybe since he thinks that the government is the only entity to …

Spending Cut Specifics

Having heard “The One” repeatedly excoriated by conservatives for not specifying any spending cuts the lamestream media is circling the wagons to defend their president. Chris “Tingling Leg” Matthews asked Rep. Joe Walsh several times where the cuts were in the Cut, Cap and balance bill. I think that Joe did a splendid job despite …

Presidential Prevarication

In an press conference about the ongoing debt limit discussions Obama stated that professional politicians who do not want to raise the debt limit are being irresponsible as opposed to his stance in 2006 as a senator. The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership …

From Blaming Bush to Blaming the GOP

admin — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 17:17:58 +0000

Obama has finally found a problem he doesn’t try to tell us is George W. Bush’s fault. He has graduated from blaming Bush to blaming the GOP. In a recent speech he tried to explain an “unexpected” rise in unemployment as being caused by businesses not being sure that the debt ceiling would be raised. …

Obama’s Mindset

If it wasn’t clear before that President Obama thinks that all earnings belong to the government and people should be grateful for whatever percentage the government allows them to keep then it is abundantly clear now that he has told us outright. “We need to take on spending in domestic programs, in defence programs, in …

Hitting the Debt Ceiling

A recent article on Fox News’ website entitled “Despite Deadline Uncertainty, U.S. Faces Bad Choices if Debt Limit Not Raised” talked about hitting the current ceiling in August and discussed the opinions of various politicians and pundits. One section said the following: But officials would have to sort through the pile of 80 million bills …

Holder Strikes Again

Debra Saunders’ latest column, “Department of Obstruction of Justice” in Jewish World Review is worth taking a look at. It looks like Eric Holder doesn’t like the death penalty and has ordered the DEA to investigate as some of the drugs used in lethal injection executions do not have FDA’s blessing as they are imported. …

Obama Scorecard

I read an article saying that while Obama T-Shirts were the most popular item in 2008 he has been pushed out of first place by none other than George W. Bush. Not being Obama’s biggest fan I found several sites selling “Miss me yet?” T-Shirts with GWB pictured like the one shown. I almost bought …
