A Tea Party Activist You Might Have Heard Of
(Read all posts from )
I’m officially off this week, but I had to post this delicious piece of news. Stick with me to the end. You won’t regret it.
As Virginia Thomas tells it in her soft-spoken, Midwestern cadence, the story of her involvement in the “tea party” movement is the tale of an average citizen in action.
“I am an...

Washington, DC - U.S. Congressman Mike Pence, Chairman of the House Republican Conference, delivered the following remarks today after the House Republican Conference approved a moratorium on all earmarks:
“Federal spending is out of control and the American people know it. Earmarks have become emblematic of everything that is wrong with spending here in Washington D.C....

From The Note:
“March 18th is a very interesting date,” Pelosi said, referring to the White House’s preferred deadline — the date President Obama leaves for a foreign trip. “We will take up the bill when we are ready to take up the bill.”
In other words, “Obama, why don’t you just let Auntie Nancy take care...

All You Need To Know About Obama

This one sentence tells you all you need to know about Obama.
Speaking to Katie Couric on Feb. 7, Obama said:
“I would have loved nothing better than to simply come up with some very elegant, academically approved approach to health care, and didn’t have any kinds of legislative fingerprints on it, and just go ahead and...

We’ve Moved From Passing Bills Without Reading Them to Passing Bills Without Voting On Them.

Let me explain the less than honest way the Democrats are trying to pass Obamacare.
Newt Gingrich, who certainly knows the rules, explains it here. The problem the Democrats are having is bringing the pro life Democrats on board. They don’t want to vote for a bill with abortion funding in it. So House Democrats have...

Is Obama Listening To The Wrong People or Not Listening At All? (Updated!)
(Read all posts from )
Part of Obama’s appeal was his intelligence. I may have thought him wrong on the issues, but still intelligent. I am starting to question that.
Rasmussen’s latest daily poll shows Obama now at 43% approval, with 56% disapproving, the lowest figures of his presidency.
It took Pres. George Bush almost six years to get to this...

“We need to rise above an ends justify the means mentality”
What a difference five years makes. Suddenly the ends justifying the means is the way to go. What a hypocrite.
Update: This is related since it also points to Obama’s hypocrisy.
From ABC’s The Note:
Obama, speaking at an event for health care reform in Pennsylvania:
“(Health Insurers) will...

Sterotypes and “Precious”

This has been all over the net yesterday and today. Dan Rather is kind of known for his folkisms. Here is the transcript:
When you talk about a triumph though, part of the undertow in the coming election is going to be President Obama’s leadership and the Republicans are making a case, a lot of independents...

When The Shoe Is Off The Other Foot

From Powerline:
One of the key arguments of Barack Obama’s Presidential campaign was that he would improve America’s image around the world. This idea was based on the false assumption that anti-Americanism was due to factors peculiar to the Bush administration, as opposed to the basic realities of America’s role in the world and the hostility...

Use Reconciliation. Just Don’t Use The Word.
(Read all posts from )
Obama gave his 35th speech on Health Care yesterday. He says that the country deserves and “up or down vote.” He can’t even bring himself to say “reconciliation.” Maybe that’s because in 2007 he emphatically said that they would never use it because one couldn’t govern that way.
You’ve got to break out of what...

What Is Going On With The Health Care Bill?

Anybody here know what’s going on with the health care bill? No? Well, you are not alone. Those in Congress, or the leaders, don’t seem to know either.
You may or may not have heard reports that Obama plans to unveil a “Plan C” type of bill tomorrow. No, this isn’t the 11 page summary he...

The Health Care Summit and The Wound That Never Heals

I don’t think the summit turned out quite the way Pres. Obama thought it would, and this is the reason why.
Let me try something out on you: This health-care summit was a bad idea for the Democrats for this reason: They have long benefited from a perception — a perception greatly abetted by the...

From WSJ:
It has been a bad—make that dreadful—few weeks for what used to be called the “settled science” of global warming, and especially for the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that is supposed to be its gold standard.
First it turns out that the Himalayan glaciers are not going to melt anytime soon, notwithstanding...

You know those wall street fat cats the Democrats are always howling about? A lot more than Democrats were howling about the $17 million bonus awarded to JPMorgan Chase Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon and the $9 million bonus for Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein after our taxpayer money bailed them out.
