How Inconvenient: Warren Buffett Opposes Card Check
Boy, this union building measure is getting harder to sell by the day. Not only does liberal George McGovern join conservatives in opposing Card Check but Warren Buffett, a man whose endorsement Obama touted, now comes out against it. It’s no fluke that even some liberal Democrats join conservative Republicans in opposing Card Check. It [...]
You Don’t Say: Stimulus Money to Provide Illegal Aliens with Jobs
9. March 2009
Well, it’s good to see our mainstream media paying attention to where a trillion dollars of our money is going. It’s too damn late to do anything about it, of course, but USA Today has finally discovered that the stimulus package may help create jobs for illegal aliens. You don’t say… Tens of thousands of [...]
WSJ Exposes Burden Cap-and-Trade Places on Middle Class
9. March 2009
The Wall Street Journal does an excellent job today exposing the strain a cap-and-trade system would place on the average American. You see, companies tend not to simply eat additional costs. As surprising as this may be to President Obama and his populist supporters, the costs get passed on to the consumer. Cap and trade [...]
Flashback: Poll Says Democrats Wanted Bush to Fail
9. March 2009
Which should come as absolutely no surprise. The left’s “outrage” over Rush’s comments were never authentic to begin with. But the fauxrage is a great distraction from tax-and-spend plans and can earn an independent or two’s support along the way. The poll is from 2006 and was dug up by Patterico. Not only did 51% [...]
Obama Only Messed Up Brown Visit Because He’s In Over His Head
7. March 2009
The Obama Administration wants to assure the world that President Obama didn’t intentionally snub our British allies. No, he’s just in over his head in the financial crisis and is unprepared to deal with the workload of the presidency. Yeah, see, excuses are supposed to make you look better in the eyes of the world. [...]
Breaking: Obama State Department Can’t Translate Worth a Damn
6. March 2009
Apparently the Obama Adminisration thought it would be cute to visually represent a resetting of relations between the United States and Russia. So Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave the nation’s Foreign Minister a little red button with text supposed to say “Reset” in Russian. Too bad the new State Department apparently can’t translate for [...]
Going Up: Unemployment Hits 8.1%
6. March 2009
Over 651,000 jobs were lost in February, the Bureau of Labor Stastics announced this morning. Approximately 8.1% of our workforce is, well, out of work. The nation’s unemployment rate rose to 8.1 percent in February, the Labor Department reported this morning, adding another grim indicator to an economic picture already darkened this week. More than [...]
President Teleprompter: Obama Brings His Everywhere
5. March 2009
Hey, you think he might be lost without it? The next Abraham Lincoln/Ronald Reagan/FDR! Resting on top of a tall, narrow pole, they flank his podium during speeches in the White House’s stately parlors. They stood next to him on the floor of a manufacturing plant in Indiana as he pitched his economic stimulus plan. [...]
You’re Kidding: Obama Gives Brown 25 DVDs
5. March 2009
Oh. Good. Lord. Prime Minister Gordon Brown and President Obama exchanged gifts for one another during Brown’s trip to the United States. The Prime Minister presented Obama with “an ornamental desk pen holder made from the oak timbers of Victorian anti-slaver HMS Gannet, once named HMS President.” Mr Obama was so delighted he has already [...]
Obama NIC Chief Nominee Has Foreign Conflicts of Interest
5. March 2009
Is there anyone in this administration vetting President Obama’s nominees? Or is the president just fine with the tax cheats, play-for-players, and now national security choices with troubling foreign conflicts of interest? It would seem that Chas W. Freeman, Obama’s choice to head-up the National Intelligence Council, has longtime financial ties to Saudi Arabia and [...]
