Please, Obama, Just Set Billions of Our Taxpayer Dollars on Fire

To set the table for discussion here, let’s start with Mark Steyn’s latest: “Statism the Only Thing Being Stimulated” I was in Vermont the other day and made the mistake of picking up the local paper. Impressively, it contained a quarter-page ad, a rare sight these days. The rest of the page was made up […]

OVERCHARGE!!!

Hillary Clinton has inadvertently stumbled on a rallying cry for the Obama Administration: GENEVA–Secretary of State Hillary Clinton opened her first extended talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov by giving him a present meant to symbolize the Obama administration’s vow to “press the reset button” on U.S.-Russia relations. She handed a palm-sized box wrapped with […]

Boo-hoo: Gaza Offensive Making It Tougher for Obama to “Forge a Peace Deal”

The Washington Post has its Obama-centric glasses on, I see: Israel’s airstrikes on Gaza yesterday, in retaliation for a nonstop barrage of rocket attacks from Hamas fighters, raised the prospect of an escalation of violence that could scuttle any hopes the incoming Obama administration harbored of forging an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal. “If the casualty reports […]

Foolish Question: Mumbai’s Trauma: How Quickly Will Recovery Come?

Today’s news brings a foolishly short-sighted question: Mumbai’s Trauma: How Quickly Will Recovery Come? How quickly? The blood of hundreds of dead and wounded hasn’t even been cleaned up yet! What kind of “recovery” can Mumbai possibly have while the butchers who planned this vile attack remain free to launch additional attacks on innocent civilians […]

Obama’s Tax “Cut” Keeps Taxes Exactly the Same?

I just assumed that Obama’s tax plan allowed an actual (if small) $500 to $1000 tax "cut" to most families.  I also assumed, based on Obama’s expansive plans to spend billions upon billions trying to "spread the wealth around," that any Obama tax cut would be short-lived and that the $500 "cut" is just a […]

Twenty-Five Reasons to Love Sarah Palin for VP

There are at least 25 reasons to love Sarah Palin for VP.  Here are mine: She’s got chief executive experience in government, unlike Obama, Biden and even McCain. She gives renewed hope to women of America that they will live to see the first woman president.  This is especially touching when it comes to seniors […]

 



Dems Support Guaranteeed Substandard Health Care for All

The Democratic Party platform will include "guaranteed" health care for all, the AP is reporting today. It’s not clear how Dems plan to achieve this.  A proposal to mandate a single-payer, governmental-run system has been defeated, for now. But "guaranteed" means "guaranteed," as in "even if you refused to pay for your own health coverage, […]

 

“Obama the Thinker”

Richard Reeves writes today that Barack Obama is a thinker, while John McCain is a “feeler.” Indeed, Reeves writes, Obama may be “too thoughtful.” Oh please. My first reaction to the premise itself is that Reeves has it backwards. Obama is, like most dyed-in-the-wool Democrats, 65% feelings and 5% common sense on matters of public […]

 

Obama Poised to Tax You ‘Til It Hurts

Did you catch the headline? “Tax Rate for New Yorkers Would Top 50% Under Obama“ Under Obama’s proposals, the highest marginal tax rate for citizens of high income-tax states like New York will be close to a punitive 60% – and that’s before you consider sales tax, property tax, gas tax, and other taxes. New […]

 



Barack Obama Birth Certificate “Forged”; No Proof Now That Obama Is Eliglble to Be President

This is serious: Barack Obama’s campaign has endorsed the accuracy of what is almost cerrtainly a forged birth certificate for Obama. And the Daily Kos website actively deleted other forged documents that betrayed the forged nature of the “Obama” birth certificate: Jay McKinnon, a self-described Department of Homeland Security-trained document specialist, has implicated himself in […]

 

“I wish Barack Obama were a Muslim”

So wrote Derrick Z. Jackson in Saturday’s Boston Globe in a piece entitled “Holding Muslims at Arms Length.”I’m sure it’s a hope shared by Muslims all around the world, but what’s Derrick Jackson’s rationale for preferring that Obama be Muslim over his currently professed faith of Christianity? Better that than having supercilious staffers whisk women […]

 

On Priorities, Judges, and Reasons for Hope

I’ve been pondering some of the posts at RWN this week and thinking about what conservatives have to be optimistic about. Despite the fact that this year’s presidential election features a far-left Democrat against a RINO, there are still plenty of reasons for hope. One of them is that, despite concerted and extreme Democratic Party […]

 


HIllary’s Coup de Grace?

From Ben Smith’s Politico: A colleague emails: Don’t know if you watched the Derby, but the horse Hillary wanted came in second, collapsed and was killed on the spot. It’s true.  Hillary was rooting for the filly, no doubt on grounds of gender: LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Big Brown backed up his trainer’s boasts with an […]

 

Is Obama Just Running Out the Clock Now?

Is Barack Obama trying to lay low and run out the clock? Carl Leubsdorf at RealClearPolitics: Barack Obama looks like the quarterback of a football team intent on running out the clock to preserve its lead in a championship game. By spurning future debates, he seeks to prevent giving rival Hillary Clinton a way to […]

 

Obama Runs from the Debate Monster

Gee, Obama seems rather debate-shy lately: Barack Obama, in his first appearance on “FOX News Sunday,” says there will be no more debates before the two May 6 primaries despite repeated challenges from Hillary Clinton to meet him face-to-face. . . . .  Asked why he was repeatedly “ducking” Clinton’s debate challenges before the Indiana […]
