Obama Declares: Economy Not As Bad As We Think
An interesting statement for a man who used fear tactics to pass a trillion-dollar stimulus, warning that a failure to do so would thrust us into a depression from which we couldn’t recover. Suddenly, with paybacks to special interests passed, everyone just needs to calm the heck down. As Drudge writes, “Dire Emergency Canceled”. Richard [...]

Quite an administration you’ve got there, Barry. The nation’s ongoing clusterfark continued this morning Federal agents this morning are searching the Judiciary Square office of Washington, D.C.’s Chief Technology Officer. The search is part of “an ongoing investigation,” said a spokeswoman for the FBI’s D.C. Field Office, Lindsay Gotwin, said. She declined to comment further. [...]
Public Overwhelmingly Opposes Second Stimulus
11. March 2009
Who would’ve thought that people seeing their 401(k)s diminish would oppose a second multi-billion dollar porkfest? Better question: Will Pelosi, Reid, and Obama actually care what the public thinks? The Generational Thiefs been claiming the public approved of this type of stimulating on November 4th. Now the public seems to disagree. Showdown! Just 27% of [...]
Carville Hoped for Bush Failure…Minutes Before 9/11
11. March 2009
Just minutes before President Bush learned of the attacks of September 11, Democratic strategist and Clintonite James Carville was telling reporters that he hoped for Bush to fail. Unsurprising news, considering 51% of Democrats (PDF) would join him in that hope just a few years later. On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, just minutes [...]
Obama Waives “No Lobbyist” Rule for La Raza
10. March 2009
Apparently the interests of illegal aliens are now defined as “public interest“. What exactly is the point of having a “no lobbyist” rule if you’re going to break it more often than you abide by it? Besides trying to score political points, of course. President Obama has issued waivers allowing two appointees who were formally [...]
Treasury Department Not Answering British Calls
10. March 2009
What, is Geithner afraid it’s the Internal Revenue Service calling to collect late charges? Does the Obama Administration really expect Americans to keep believing that the original snub was unintentional if it won’t even take the British government’s calls? The head of the civil service, Sir Gus [O'Donnell] said the handover to President Barack Obama’s [...]

Good News: Pelosi Open to Second Stimulus Package
10. March 2009
As predictable as the Big Three coming back for more taxpayer dough. What happened, the trillion-dollar package isn’t going to create as many jobs and stimulating activity as first though? Apparently not. So how much more will we need? No word yet, but you can pretty much bet it won’t be cheap. Sounds like another [...]
Analysts to Obama: Define “Moderate” Taliban
9. March 2009
Analysts aren’t as optimistic about engaging “moderate” members of the Taliban as the Obama Administration apparently is. In fact, they’d appreciate it if the president could define “moderate” for them. U.S. President Barack Obama’s proposal to reach out to moderate Taliban will fail to end the Afghan insurgency as it is inflexible Taliban leaders who [...]
NYT: Rush attacks “explicitly authorized” by White House
9. March 2009
The sad part is that the New York Times and International Herald Tribune (the former’s sister publication) only confirm it inadvertently. Apparently this wasn’t something notable enough to be mentioned in anything other than passing. A glimpse of Axelrod’s day offers a look at how he spends his time. He arrives at the White House [...]
