Obama’s Lincoln/Railroad Gaffe, why Did Old Media Ignore This?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In keeping with the many dozens of gaffes that Obama has made over the years, Verum Serum found another one from last February that has, with the help of the Old Media, slipped under the radar. Just more proof that Obama’s constant gaffes go unreported by the Old Media while they search high and low […]

 

Michelle Bachmann Is Compassionate: Says She’ll Help Obama Find A Job

Posted on by William Teach

She’s a nice lady Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann is getting more creative, and apparently more aggressive, in her political attacks against President Barack Obama.

Syrian Delirium

Posted on by Courtney Messerschmidt

Suriya al- Kubra! Syria – punches far above her weight class in diplopolititary deals.

Obama’s Weekly Address: “Oh, I Almost Forgot, Have A Nice 4th Of July”

Posted on by William Teach

The conversation for NMP Obama’s Weekly Address probably went something like O.: I want to yammer on about corporate jets Staff: OK, that’s good, because Americans are really concerned about them. You should probably mention Independence Day O.: You mean that right wingnut holiday? Is that this weekend? What’s it about? S.: It’s Monday, Mr. […]

Obama Losing Support Faster Among the Poor Than Among the Rich

Posted on by Dave Blount

Students of oligarchical collectivism should not be surprised that despite his sophomoric “eat the rich” rhetoric, Barack Hussein Obama is losing support faster among the poor than among the champagne and caviar crowd that installed him in power: In the week of June 20-26 — the most recent week published by Gallup — only 45 […]

 

Obama Puts Israel on ‘State Supporters of Terror’ List, Then Opens Diplomatic Relations With Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Obama’s is one of the most disastrous foreign policies of any president ever. His latest outrage is the dual absurdities of, on one hand putting Israel on a list of state sponsors of terrorism, while on the other hand opening a dialog with and bestowing diplomatic legitimacy upon the terrorists of the Muslim Brotherhood in […]

 

Senator Thune On The Best Way To Meet With Obama

Posted on by William Teach

Could the GOP finally have gotten the clue, after Obama’s snit fit acting like a 5 year old not allowed to get a new My Little Unicorn presser, that it is time to take the gloves off? One of the Senate’s top Republicans on Thursday fired back at President Obama for questioning his party’s work […]

 

MSNBC’s Mark Halperin Calls Obama ‘A Dick,’ Gets Fired For It

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Long-time media talking head Mark Halperin has just found out that the left-wing news cabler MSNBC will brook no criticism of their Obammessiah. On the June 30 episode of Morning Joe Halperin gave a rather frank assessment of how President Barack Obama was acting. As a result of his poke, Halperin was given the shaft […]

 

Doctrine Of Constrainment

Constrained! That’s what they calls it after the ‘rents freak the freak out about next month’s Visa statement showcasing over a hundred bucks splurged on liq liq liquor (liquor) on a Tuesday night (to be fair – please note a Jalapeno burger de luxe should be in there somewhere):  – with the appropriate gratuity – […]

 

Demagogue In Chief Slams Corp. Jets After Spending Stimulus Money on Them?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In his Wednesday presser on the state of the economy President Obama several times attacked those evil rich folks flying about in corporate jets saying that the filthy rich could “afford” higher taxes. But while he spent so much time slamming corporate jets today, back in 2009 the president was pushing a stimulus bill that […]

 

Why Can’t Old Media Learn That Obama Has Contempt for Them?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Since the early days of Barack Obama’s run for the presidency, you know, right after he became Senator Obama in 2006, he’s been slighting the media in ways small and large. And since 2006 the media has been complaining about his sleights. Even this week the Old Media has been found whining about getting the […]

 

Virginia Attny Gen to Sue FCC Over Net Neutrality

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Up to this point, the far left has won the war for branding on the issue of Net Neutrality. Even many conservatives and Republicans have been fooled by the “freedom of the Internet” lies that the left has spun with NN. But the Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli of The Commonwealth of Virginia means to change […]

 

Senator Coburn’s Ahistorical, Unworkable Tax Hike Plans

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Senator Tom Coburn (R, OK) is trying to break heavy with the Tea Partiers — and for that matter his own party — by encouraging Republicans to include massive tax hikes in the on going budget discussions in congress this year. Coburn appears to feel that a tax hike simply must be part of the […]

 

Obama’s Contempt for Our Soldiers

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Obama made what many are calling a mere “mistake” when he visited the 10th Mountain Division. His “mistake” came in when he said that a soldier that received the Medal of Honor was still alive. Of course, the soldier in question, Sergeant First Class Jared Monti, was killed in Iraq in 2006 and did receive […]

 

Team Obama Recruits People To “Mystery Shop” Doctors

Posted on by William Teach

I wonder if they will ask the question “has the threat of ObamaCare made you turn away patients with Exchange insurance?” Of course, since only about 5 people have signed up through the Exchange, I guess that question wouldn’t be meaningful. How about “do you plan on continuing your practice once ObamaCare takes full affect?” […]

 

ICE agents warn Americans “to brace themselves for what’s coming” as catch-and-release of illegals — caught committing other crimes — begins

Posted on by Doug Ross

You may have read that President Obama is now quietly offering a quasi-amnesty for illegal immigrants in a cynical attempt to rebuild his voting base. Under his direction, new prosecution rules* put ICE agents in a bureaucratic box if they choose to prosecute illegals, with dozens of new, subjective guidelines. In essence, Obama is forcing […]

 

While Obama Finds Excuses For Lybia, Syria Is Still Killing Activists

Posted on by William Teach

But, Syria would be hard work, and there is golfing to be done Witnesses and activists in Syria say at least 15 people were killed Friday when security forces fired on crowds as tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets nationwide in another round of demonstrations aimed at overthrowing President Bashar al-Assad.

Obama’s Medal of Honor Gaffe

Posted on by Dave Blount

Somehow I get the impression that our Community Organizer in Chief doesn’t take military matters terribly seriously. After announcing that he would effectively surrender in Afghanistan, but leave most of our troops there hanging in the breeze for awhile, he made a poorly prepared speech to a division that has been heavily involved in the […]

 

(VIDEO) Sen. Johnson: Obama and his Administration Have ‘Little Experience in Manufacturing or Business’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Senator Ron Johnson (R, Wis.) commented in advance of the President’s speech on manufacturing and is here to tell President Obama, “the government doesn’t create jobs, it creates debt and it is the private sector that creates long-term, self-sustaining jobs.” Today the President is traveling to Pittsburgh to talk about manufacturing.

Contrary to Claim, White House Did Control GM’s Daily Business And Cut Workers Pay?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

When Barack Obama threw millions of our tax dollars at General Motors to “save it,” the administration claimed that it would not involve itself in the “day-to-day management” of the venerable car company. New emails obtained by The Daily Caller, however, casts doubt on this claim. In fact, as Matthew Boyle reports, the emails “reveal […]

 

President Abracadabra: “Hey, Here’s Another $500 Million For Manufacturing”

Posted on by William Teach

Following the previous post, we see once again that Obama just doesn’t understand how the private sector works, and thinks he can just blink his eyes and things magically happen President Obama on Friday will announce the launch of the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership (AMP), an initiative that would provide more than $500 million to encourage […]

 

Obama Can’t Even Get Economic Messaging Right

Hey, when even Carrie Budoff Brown at The Politico can barely find words to support Mr. Obama, things are seriously in the dumps for Team Hopey Changey: President Obama struggles with economic message President Barack Obama isn’t just grasping for ways to jolt the flailing economy. He’s struggling simply to find the right words to […]

 

Big Government Vastly Expands Food Stamps, Prevents Prevention of Fraud

Posted on by Dave Blount

Our rogue government’s approach to food stamps is twofold: 1) vastly increase their use and 2) facilitate the inevitable fraud. Here at least Obama’s disastrous presidency has been a big success: Thanks in part to vigorous federally funded campaigns by nonprofit groups, the government’s AmericaCorps service program, and other organizations urging people to accept government […]

 

The psychology of war and warriors

Posted on by Bookworm

Peter Wehner writes about Obama’s decision to draw down troops in Afghanistan, something that (just coincidentally, of course) will take place right before Obama’s reelection bid. Wehner is appalled, and he explains that this gross political calculation isn’t the way it needs to be: I have the advantage of having served a president during wartime. […]

 

Obama’s Union-Sold Regulatory Agency Goes Even Further for Unions

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

With one regulatory decision after anther, Obama’s National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has repeatedly abused its position and lent its powers to come to the material aid of Big Labor.

Congressman Peter Roskam, House GOP Deputy Majority Whip, got on record the fact that as things stand right now Medicare is dead by 2024.
