In Wake Of Fast And Furious, Are You Ready For Operation Castaway?

Posted on July 15, 2011 by William Teach

It may or may not be as big and bad, but, we’ll see if ATF and the DOJ stonewall Congress on it Several lawmakers are questioning the Obama administration about whether the controversial “Fast and Furious” gunrunning probe may have had a cousin in Florida that resulted in guns being trafficked to Central America. Rep. […]

Obama Admits There’s No Social Security Trust Fund

Posted on July 15, 2011July 17, 2011 by John Hawkins

Haven’t liberals been saying that there’s a Social Security “trust fund” that’s good until 2037? Sure, they have! Why, back in Feb of this year, Jacob Lew, the director of the White House’s Office of Management and Budget, was

Injustice Department Goes After Louisiana

Posted on July 14, 2011 by Dave Blount

The Obama Regime has already declared war on Arizona, Texas, and South Carolina. The latest red state to find itself in the federal crosshairs is Louisiana, which the Department of Social Justice is suing on vague charges of not doing enough to encourage welfare recipients to vote. A federal lawsuit accusing two state agencies of […]

Obama’s Labor Board Now Threatening the Dead

Posted on July 14, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Imagine the gall of Gordon L. Wray Jr. to die without first getting Obama’s permission! I mean, it takes a real yutz to die before The One waves his royal hand in forbearance, ya know? So, to punish the dead, Obama sent his National Labor Relations Board goosetepping to threaten the man… the, the dead […]

Public Hearing: Protesting the NLRBs New Rules

Posted on July 14, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

On Sept. 18th and 19th in Washington DC, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is having open meetings for public comment on its proposal to slash the amount of time that it takes for prospective unionization of employees to occur. If you are at all interested in preventing this wild powergrab by Obama’s union-sold NLRB, […]

Rep. Walsh Tells Obama to ‘Quit Lying’ About Soc. Sec.

Posted on July 14, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Illinois Republican Representative Joe Walsh takes it hard to President Obama. Mr. Walsh says that Obama is lying and he wonders if the president even has any clue about how the country works. Walsh asks, “Have you no shame sir?” … It’s about time someone in Washington talks straight about this budget mess. Joe Walsh […]

Did You Ever Think We Would Envy China’s Economy?

Posted on July 14, 2011 by William Teach

Because their economy is going so great that they are now trying to put the brakes on their overheated economy Reporting from Beijing– While the Obama administration struggles to jump-start the stalled U.S. recovery, policymakers in Beijing have an opposite but equally formidable task: putting the brakes on China’s speeding economy without triggering a slump. […]

EPA Kills Five Power Plants Along Road to Darkness

Posted on July 13, 2011 by Dave Blount

Barack Hussein Obama promised before the election that he would bankrupt the coal industry that provides us with 57% of our electricity. In an appalling testimony to the suicidal stupidity of 53% of the population, he was elected anyway. He’s using the malignant EPA to make good on his promise: Utility giant American Electric Power […]

Obama’s Threat to Cut Off Social Security Payments Is a Lie

Posted on July 13, 2011 by Dave Blount

It’s not easy for a Marxist saboteur to constantly hit new lows, but Obama manages — most recently by trying to terrify seniors with the suggestion that Social Security payments won’t go out unless Republicans agree to raise the debt ceiling effectively to infinity, ensuring total economic collapse not far down the road. Here‘s what […]

Obama Has Illegally Given at Least $540,905 of Our Money to ACORN So Far This Year

Posted on July 12, 2011July 14, 2011 by Dave Blount

Obama violated federal law when he gave $79,819 of our money to his malignant alma mater ACORN in March, but I don’t blame the media for not thinking it was worth mentioning — at least not in comparison with this: Obama’s Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) gave ACORN another $461,086 in January. The […]

Presidential Credibility? Pre-2005 “Broke” Obamas Lived on Credit Lines

Posted on July 12, 2011July 12, 2011 by Jane Jamison

Prior to his book sales, made possible by terrorist Bill Ayers writing the book for him, and prior to her 250% “magic beans” raise, the Obamas were deeply in debt.: Why would ANYONE listen to Barack Obama’s advice on a budget?

Obama: Proof That Stimulus Worked Is All The Job Losses Now

Posted on July 12, 2011 by William Teach

CNS News catches something interesting from The Petulant President’s presser on Monday Three days after the U.S. Department of Labor reported that the national unemployment rate had ticked up from 9.1 percent in May to 9.2 percent in June, President Barack Obama said that the loss of jobs in the public sector is “evidence” that […]

Obama Regime Imposing the Same Race-Based Loans That Led to 2008 Collapse

Posted on July 11, 2011 by Dave Blount

It took a collapse of the housing market that brought the entire economy down with it, but at least we learned our lesson when it comes to forcing banks to make bad loans on the basis of race — or did we? The madness inflicted by the Community Reinvestment Act is now enforced by the […]

Time Is Running Out for Single-Term Moonbat Messiah

Posted on July 11, 2011 by Dave Blount

Remember when Obama boastfully proclaimed that his loot & waste policies would turn the economy around within three years? Obama told TV titan Matt Lauer during a Feb. 1, 2009, MSNBC interview that he would be “held accountable” to improve the economy by the American public and, “If I don’t have this done in three […]

“Millionaires and Billionaires”

Posted on July 9, 2011 by Doug Ross

The committee calls Thomas Edison to testify. Please swear him in. Mr. Edison, describe for the committee the nature of your “light bulb” invention. Distinguished representatives and guests, while the idea of electric lighting is not a new one, neither had it been a practical matter until we produced our new incandescent light bulb. It […]

Obama’s Solution To Joblessness: High Speed Rail

Posted on July 9, 2011 by William Teach

That, and other small ball measures, as the LA Times points out. Just the kinds of ideas one would expect from a (not my) president with virtually no experience in the private sector As White House aides search for ways to show progress on the economy, they are banking that a set of small-scale proposals […]

No Answer From White House on Involvement in Fast and Furious

Posted on July 8, 2011 by Dave Blount

The relatively trivial Watergate scandal brought down a presidency not because Richard Nixon had any involvement in it, but because he unwisely tried to cover it up. We may never know for sure that Barack Hussein Obama knew all along that his administration was helping Mexican drug lords smuggle American guns, but he sure hasn’t […]

Obama’s Veritable Intercontinental FAILroad

Posted on July 8, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Well, maybe John Sexton and I both gave Obama a little too much credit on this “intercontinental railroad” gaffe? When he and I wrote about this little gaffe we both assumed that it was no big deal, that it was juts a slip of the tongue — and an easy one to make at that […]

Newsweek: White House Intimidation of NBC ‘Reprehensible’

Posted on July 7, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

The Old Media is still acting shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that the Obama administration treats them like a redheaded stepchild. Newsweek’s The Daily Beast, for instance, is incredulous at the “reprehensible” actions of the Obama White House for having the temerity to call NBC to scold the cabler over Mark Halperin’s “dick” comment. You’ll […]

Twitter Townhall: Another Case of Obama’s ‘For Thee But Not For Me’ Events

Posted on July 6, 2011July 6, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

It was hailed as a technological first. President Obama was to hold the first “Twitter Townhall.” The truth is more like it was a desperate attempt by the Obama administration to appeal to the youth vote in which nearly every poll shows him losing ground. The idea was that questions could be submitted by any […]

While Normal Americans Go Unemployed, Obama’s White House Staff Makes Over $37 Million

Posted on July 6, 2011 by Dave Blount

What recession? People are making big money in this economy, without even having to do productive work, thanks to all the cushy positions on Comrade Obama’s massive White House staff: The challenging Obama era and 9.1% national unemployment rate do not include the 454 people now helping President Obama do presidential things. This crowd is […]

No, John Adams Did Not Pass the First Obamacare Law

Posted on July 6, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Every few weeks for months now leftist bloggers have been happily touting the “fact” that our second president, John Adams, passed the first “national healthcare law” one that supposedly forced Americans to buy a form of healthcare. Unfortunately for them, this is simply untrue and comparing John Adams’ sailor’s relief act to Obamacare is misleading […]

Shame On Obama’s Ambassador to the U.K.

Posted on July 6, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

The political hack that Obama sent to be our ambassador to the United Kingdom has shown himself to be just that, a useless, inexpert, political hack. This hack didn’t bother to attend a large dinner given to celebrate the life and work of an American president, embarrassing Americans and British alike. Last weekend, to celebrate […]

Obama Reduced To Playing AA Ball

Posted on July 6, 2011 by William Teach

For those who aren’t familiar with minor league baseball, double A baseball is two steps below playing in the majors. Sometimes, a player will jump up and play in the majors, but, will usually be dropped back to AA for more development. And, as the Politico points out, Obama is basically playing small ball, terming […]

New Obama “Executive Order” Puts 25 Federal Agencies in Charge of “Rural” America

Posted on July 5, 2011July 5, 2011 by Jane Jamison

Cross-posted at UNCOVERAGE.net One or two pundits mentioned during the “Weinergate” scandal in early June, that the scandal was just a distraction, and we needed to pay more attention to what Barack Obama was doing while we were looking the “other way.” : They were right.

Stimulus Jobs Cost $278,000 Apiece

Posted on July 5, 2011 by Dave Blount

Jobs are not created by government, but by the absence of government. Bureaucrats can only fabricate temporary and economically illogical positions by sucking money out of the economy that would have been used to create more numerous, permanent, and useful jobs. For example, the primary pretext for Obama’s budget-busting Porkulus spree was the easing of […]

A New Declaration of Independence for a New Revolution

Posted on July 5, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

America is fast coming to a crossroads from which there will be no return if we take the wrong path. Do we take the road that leads away from America and toward a Euro-esque way of governing? Do we cast aside our American character and bury our great nation in a grave of socialist-styled authority? […]

Obama’s America: Rationing Toilet Paper

Posted on July 5, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Back in 2005 Democrat Senator Dick Durbin said that our soldiers were just like Nazis and were running the Soviet Gulags. Well, obviously Durbin and his extremist, left-wing hatred for our troops is off base, but we are seeing something in Obama’s America that is reminiscent of Soviet Russia: toilet paper rationing. Apparently, things have […]

Happy 2nd Birthday To The Economic Recovery!

Posted on July 5, 2011 by William Teach

One question: how’s that hopey changey thing working out for ya? Because even ABC News is wondering if you feel better yet: The Economic Recovery Turns 2: Feel Better yet? This is one anniversary few feel like celebrating. Two years after economists say the Great Recession ended, the recovery has been the weakest and most […]

What Nation Building at Home Really Means

Posted on July 4, 2011July 4, 2011 by Rich Stowell

President Obama’s synopsis of the recent speech he gave describing his Afghanistan troop withdrawal was, “America, it is time to focus on nation-building here at home.” What on earth does that mean? Though lofty and nearly unimpeachable as a safely vague slogan, it is hardly new or unique to Democratic speech making. There has been […]
