• BP's 'Ass Kicking' by Obama; Another Example of Presidential Incompetence

• The Democrats Are Running Scared

  MORE GOOD NEWS – How the mighty have fallen! Only seven or eight months ago, President Obama and congressional Democrats were on their way to remaking America along liberal lines and positioning themselves for decades of political dominance. Their lopsided majorities in the House and Senate, plus the White House, gave them unassailable command of [...]

• Dick Cheney – America's Most Influential Conservative?

  THIS GUY GETS IT – Former Vice President Dick Cheney stormed the beachheads of the liberal US media again today with a fiery performance on ABC’s This Week.

• Obama PR Helps Terrorists

  AMATEUR HOUR – When President Obama’s leading counter-terrorism staff member, John Brennan, says that “politically motivated criticism and unfounded fear-mongering only serve the goals of al-Qaeda,” he has it exactly backwards. It is the president’s efforts to crow about how effective he is in fighting terrorism that are helping al-Qaeda. What kind of policy is [...]

• Family Fight: Nancy Pelosi At Odds With Obama

  THIS SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD THING – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s increasingly public disagreements with President Barack Obama are a reflection of something deeper: the seething resentment some Democrats feel over what they see as cavalier treatment from a wounded White House. For months, the California lawmaker has been pushing Obama hard in private while [...]

• I Guess He Only Wants To Be President For One Term

  Read my lips, no new taxes… It seems he wants to repeat George H.W. Bush’s experience!

• Now Robert Gibbs Is Telling The White House Press Corps That Obama Saved Iraq

  THEY HAVE NO SHAME WHATSOEVER – Robert Gibbs today tried to take credit for the success in Iraq even though both Biden and Obama voted against the successful surge that stabilized the country. Biden caused rioting and protests when he pushed legislation to divide Iraq into three countries. ” Yesterday Joe Biden took credit for [...]

• Dems Are Going To Try And Ram Healthcare Through

  Roll Call reports:   House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is pinning the blame on Republicans for a lack of bipartisanship in Congress and plans to bypass them if they continue to oppose efforts to enact near-universal health care. This is the clearest indication yet that Democrats are gearing up to jam the Senate version of [...]

• When Will Obama Get Serious About Iran?

  HOW MUCH LONGER WILL ISRAEL WAIT UNTIL THEY’RE FORCED TO ACT? – Buried most of the way through this New York Times report is a disturbing reminder of how unserious Obama is about imposing sanctions on Iran that might impact the mullahs’ decision to proceed with their nuclear-arms program: During the campaign he raised the [...]

• The Eternal Stimulus

  WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED – President Obama sold the $862 billion in stimulus spending as “targeted, timely and temporary.” Critics said that was highly unlikely, and now the 2011 Obama budget has proven them right. To wit, the White House is proposing to convert spending sold as a one-time economic boost into a permanent [...]

• Nelson Defects From Dems Over Terror Trials

  THERE MUST BE AN ELECTION APPROACHING – Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson joined a bipartisan effort on Wednesday to block the administration from trying the Sept. 11th suspects in civilian courts.   Nelson (Neb.) signed onto legislation offered by Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Jim Webb (D-Va.) to require military commission trials for [...]

• Obama Budget Rigs Healthcare Numbers

  IGNORING INEPENDENT ANALYSIS IS A PATTERN FOR THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION – For the first time by any administration in memory, the Obama budget forecast rejects the Medicare Trustees’ projections for long-run healthcare cost growth. The Obama administration’s fiscal year 2011 budget continues a pattern of ignoring independent analysis and rigging economic assumptions to meet political [...]

• Increasing Government Power Threatens Freedom

  NOVEMBER CAN’T COME SOON ENOUGH – Government is taking us a long way down the Road to Serfdom. That doesn’t just mean that more of us must work for the government. It means that we are changing from independent, self-responsible people into a submissive flock. The welfare state kills the creative spirit. F.A. Hayek, an [...]

• Voters Turning Against Obama

  HE MAY END UP  WITH A RECORD OF ACCOMPLISHMENT BUT ITS HARD TO HAVE MUCH HOPE  - You’ve got to like President Obama’s articulateness, his command of information, his obviously swift intelligence, but here is what you don’t have to like about him: his fierce unbending ideology, his endless and increasingly absurd posturing as a [...]

• Americans Reject “Not Bush” Approach to Fighting Terrorism

  BUT WILL THEY LISTEN – American voters say 59 – 35 percent that 9/11 terrorism suspects should be tried in military courts rather than in civilian courts, as currently planned. Voters say 68 – 25 percent that terrorism suspects should not receive all of the constitutional protections afforded by a civilian trial. Democrats prefer civilian [...]

• When will President Obama give up on the Robert Gibbs experiment?

  IT’S THE CHICAGO WAY – Immediately after Obama made a surprise appearance in a snow-emptied press briefing room to emphasize that he was sincere about his new call for bipartisanship, Gibb took the podium for a bit of prop comedy at the expense of the GOP. In taking follow-up questions from reporters, Gibbs went into [...]

• How to Save The Obama Presidency – Bomb Iran

  ACT BEFORE ITS TOO LATE – I do not customarily offer advice to a president whose election I opposed, whose goals I fear, and whose policies I work against.

• Bob McDonnell To Deliver GOP Response to State of the Union

  GOOD CHOICE – As the American people continue to ask, ‘where are the jobs,’ Gov. McDonnell has offered common-sense economic policies in stark contrast to Washington Democrats’ job-killing agenda,” Boehner said in a written statement. “We don’t need a government takeover of health care or a ‘cap-and-trade’ national energy tax — we need a common-sense [...]

• Free Speech Vindicated

  The first and most important of our liberties is political liberty. All of our rights depend upon its being sustained. It is essential that American elections be free and open. That is why we have the First Amendment to the Constitution. It is the most important item in the Bill of Rights. Those who framed [...]

  THIS IS EXCELLENT NEWS – Health care reform teetered on the brink of collapse Thursday as House and Senate leaders struggled to coalesce around a strategy to rescue the plan, in the face of growing pessimism among lawmakers that the president’s top priority can survive.  The legislative landscape was filled with obstacles: House Democrats won’t [...]
