Year: 2012

There’s a little good news out there for Ford Motors today: Barack Obama’s favorite souped-up golf cart, the Chevy Volt, is: such a hopeless failure that it makes the Edsel look like a Mustang. The Press has for the most part failed to mention how pathetic this “second-best sales month” actually is. And even when one […]

“The president clearly demonstrated that he has absolutely no idea how the American economy functions. The men and women all over America who have worked hard to build these businesses, their businesses from the ground up is how our economy became the envy of the world – it is the American way. I wish this […]

If you set out to design a written test that racially discriminates against black and Hispanic Americans who want to be firemen, how could you do it? Keep in mind that we’re not quizzing people on pop culture here; we’re talking about a test for firemen. How could you ask about how to put out […]

It was one of Barack Obama’s best lines — and best moments — in the 2008 presidential campaign. He had said we could save as much oil as we could get from domestic drilling if everybody properly maintained their cars and got their tires inflated. Now, that was hyperbole. But when conservatives, including his opponent, […]

Determined to destroy Bill Clinton’s signature achievement, President Barack Obama’s Administration has opened a loophole in the 1996 Welfare Reform legislation big enough to make the law ineffective. Its work requirement — the central feature of the legislation — has been diluted beyond recognition by the bureaucrats at the Department of Health and Human Services. […]

When I was a little kid, there was a game I used to play while out and about with my family. Every time we came upon an escalator, I’d run ahead and charge up it as fast as I could, just so I could then stand at the top and “pull” everyone else up by […]
