Obama To Take Fossil Fueled Flight To Propose Program To Eliminate Fossil Fuels

Posted on by William Teach

Once again he’s on the campaign trail for his “green energy” meme (Washington Post) The pitch President Obama will make as he visits the Energy Department’s Argonne National Laboratory outside Chicago Friday involves a bit of policy jujutsu: let’s take the money we make by producing oil to stop using it altogether. Sequester? What Sequester? […]

 

Obama: “I’m Not Involved With Drone Policies”

Posted on by William Teach

Is there anything Obama does take responsibility for as POTUS/CiC? (Politico) President Barack Obama’s defense to Democratic senators complaining about how little his administration has told Congress about the legal justifications for his drone policy: Dick Cheney was worse.

The Phony White House Charm Offensive

Posted on by Michael Fell

Not only did the White House disavow the GOP’s 10-year budget plan put forth by House budget chief Rep. Paul Ryan, the White House will not release its budget until early April, a pattern true to the form displayed over Barack Obama’s time in office. White House press secretary Jay Carney verbally attacked Ryan’s budget, […]

 

Obama Trying to Deport Homeschooling Family

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In 2010 a federal immigration judge awarded political asylum to a family whose German government was persecuting for having the temerity to homeschool their children. Now, three years later, the Obama administration seems poised to reverse that decision and deport the family back to Germany. Uwe Romeike, his wife, and children were told that they […]

 

Susan Rice for National Security Advisor

Posted on by Dave Blount

After appointing the treasonous Hanoi John Kerry as Secretary of State, the Cindy Sheehan-esque barking moonbat Chuck Hagel as Secretary of Defense, and Islamophile John Brennan as head of the CIA, it has become so hard for Obama to continue to push the envelope regarding his open contempt for America’s national security interests that he […]

 

Democrats Mostly Against Any Obama Grand Bargain

Posted on by William Teach

Unless it includes lots of tax increases and sharing the wealth policies (though none of them have been willing to send a check to the IRS themselves) (Politico) President Barack Obama may be thinking about a “grand bargain” to address spending and the federal deficit, but there’s a key constituency he has to persuade to […]

 

Obama Turns On Charm To Woo Republicans

Posted on by William Teach

Like I said yesterday, this is like a typical abusive relationship. Obama denigrates, insults, and beats Republicans constantly, then for a brief time turns on the charm, buys them dinner, some flowers, a bit of “quality time”, then will soon switch back to floggings when the laundry isn’t done on time (Washington Post) For more […]

 

These GOP Senators Went to Dinner with Obama Instead of Supporting Rand Paul

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Rand Paul excited conservatives, libertarians, and even some liberals with his filibuster performance on the floor of the Senate on Wednesday. It was some 13 hours of a discussion on Obama’s desire to use drones to kill Americans here at home. Unfortunately, there were seven Republicans Senators that decided it was a better idea to […]

 

Republican Senators Set Themselves Up As Fools After Dinner With Obama

Posted on by William Teach

These Republicans remind me of women (or men) who’ve been burned as their significant other beats them, then buys into the apology and post beating lovey dovey attitude, tells the cops and hospital they fell, and it happens again And again. And again (The Hill) Senate Republicans are more optimistic about the prospect of a […]

Will Sequester Farce Blow Up in Obama’s Face?

Posted on by Dave Blount

The mendacious charade of Obama’s sequester — by which the explosive rate of government growth is being slowed slightly and temporarily as part of a propaganda offensive against Republicans — has reached the point of outright farce: In its bid to make the sequester as painful as possible, the White House announced Tuesday that it […]

 

Amendment To Continuing Resolution Would Bar Obama Golf Outings On Public Dime

Posted on by William Teach

At least until PINO Obama resumes White House tours (Daily Caller) Republican Texas Rep.

Let’s Keep It Real

Posted on by Robert Cleveland

New projections by the Congressional Budget Office show that this could be a record year for federal tax revenue – according to the CBO, the federal government should be bringing in $2.7 TRILLION this year, an all-time record.:  At first blush, one would think this is good news, and a vindication of President Obama’s “balanced […]

 

Greens Fret Over Obama Admin Keystone Report

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The State Department has released its much-anticipated report on the environmental impact of the Keystone Pipeline and, to the alarm of the green lobby, it seems to leave President Obama with little reason to continue delaying construction. The 2,000-page report makes no final recommendation on whether or not to approve construction of the energy project, […]

 

Obama Possibly Trading Keystone for More Taxes

Posted on by Unicorn Jones

Pretty much everyone, including all of the major labor unions, is geeked about the Keystone Pipeline, which would create jobs and improve the United State’s energy independence. But a bunch of hippies hate it, and the hippies vote, probably illegally in seven states, so Barack Obama is totally against it for right now, you guys. […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In an appearance on Fox News, former Bush White House Press Secretary Dana Perino noted that when the Bush team tried to push back against Bob Woodward’s reportage it “failed miserably” because the media rallied behind the iconic reporter.

Oops: PINO Obama States Sequestration Is Not The Apocalypse

Posted on by William Teach

Yeah, remember the doom and gloom from (NMP) Obama? From his silly press conference yesterday (NBC News) “This is not going to be an apocalypse, I think as some people have said. It’s just dumb. And it’s going to hurt. It’s going to hurt individual people, and it’s going to hurt the economy overall,” he […]

 

Good News! POTUS Who Wants Massive Gun Control Pardons Gun Offender

Posted on by William Teach

Yeah, remember this?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

What We Don’t Need

Posted on by Robert Cleveland

One of the most frustrating thing about the current debate on gun control is the obfuscation and lies that are constantly passed around by the Left. The very idea that the Second Amendment might just be about self-defense, home-defense, hunting, and sport shooting is absolutely ludicrous, yet arguments based on this premise are treated as […]

Sequestration In Context: US Borrows Cost Of Sequestration Every 28 Days

Posted on by William Teach

Chicago Police Chief McCarthy’s Shocking Ignorance of History, the Law, and the U.S. Constitution

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Chicago’s top cop is a shockingly ignorant man. Apparently what he knows of American history, the law, and the U.S. Constitution can be held in a thimble. This became glaringly obvious in a radio interview he gave to WLS Radio’s political reporter Bill Cameron. Chief Garry McCarthy’s blather blather about the Second Amendment is amazing […]

 

White House Release Super Duper Dire We’re Doomed List Of State By State Sequestration Results

Posted on by William Teach

Politico: Is Obama Overplaying Sequestor Hand?

Posted on by William Teach

A random act of journalism from Carrie Budoff Brown and Jake Sherman (Politico) President Barack Obama’s greatest adversary in the latest budget battle isn’t the Republican leadership in Congress – it’s his confidence in his own ability to force a win. He has been so certain of his campaign skills that he didn’t open a […]
