President Genius Tries to Walk Through Window
Remember when we were told that the days of an idiot occupying the White House were over? How the national embarrassment had finally departed? Yeah, no.

Good News: Specter Says He’ll Vote for Holder
27. January 2009
Is anyone really surprised by this? We’re talking about the same Arlen Specter that tried to justify amnesty for 12-20 million illegal aliens by saying that the guy on the treadmill next to him at his gym totally liked the plan. The stupidity of voting for Holder pales in comparison. Sen. Arlen Specter says he [...]
GOPers Gush Over Obama After Meeting
27. January 2009
What a pathetic bunch. President Obama tells them that he’s not willing to compromise, yet we get a response from the Congressmen reminiscent of a bunch of high school girls at a Justin Timberlake concert. Rep. Bob Inglis (R-S.C.) said that Obama was sincere and “impressive” during his meeting with Republicans Tuesday afternoon. “There’s real [...]
Iran to Have Nuke This Year, Think Tank Says

Thousands of Pakistanis Protest Obama
26. January 2009
I thought that the Washington Post assured us that President Obama is well-liked throughout the Muslim world and has been detrimental to Al Qaeda’s recruiting efforts. Yet, so far we’ve seen protests of The One throughout Iran, Palestine, Pakistan, and elsewhere. Where’s the change? Supporters of the Pakistani Islamist party Jamat-e-Islami protest in Karachi, January [...]

26. January 2009
What does $45 billion in taxpayer funds get you? A whole ‘lotta corporate luxury jet. $50 million worth, in fact. Citigroup decided to get its new wings two years ago, when the financial-services giant was flush with cash, but it still intends to take possession of the jet this year despite its current woes, the [...]
