Obama Is Back On The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bandwagon

Posted on by William Teach

Having solved all the other problems the nation faces, it’s apparently time to push shamnesty again. And he wants a civil debate President Obama is going to Texas on Tuesday to give an immigration speech in El Paso before raising money for his reelection in Austin. After he speaks at two Democratic National Committee events […]

 

President Obama’s 60 Minutes interview with Steve Kroft

Posted on by Bookworm

My husband insisted last night that we watch BHO’s 60 Minutes interview with Steve Kroft — and then promptly fell asleep because, as he later said, “that was really dull.” My husband was right. I managed to stay awake, but it was an effort. This was my takeaway from the great orator’s talk: We, uh, […]

 

Use Of FISA Warrants Jumps Under Obama

Posted on by William Teach

Anyone notice the major media screaming about the Obama administration violating the rights of Americans? The following Wired post was published on May 6th. So, far, all quiet on the moonbat front: Domestic Surveillance Court Approved All 1,506 Warrant Applications in 2010 The secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court approved all 1,506 government requests to electronically […]

 

Oh, Good: Obama Has Dashed “Jimmy Carter” Label

Posted on by William Teach

So says cheerleader Alexandra, sorry, Alexander Burns at The Politico So much for campaigning against Jimmy Carter. In the aftermath of Osama bin Laden’s death, Republicans are adjusting to a new political reality: with the bin Laden trump card now in President Barack Obama’s possession, it’s looking increasingly likely the 2012 campaign will ride on […]

 

Talking with Jesse Kornbluth again, this time about whether Harvard grads get a free pass

Posted on by Bookworm

Jesse Kornbluth was again good enough to visit my post commenting upon his article lauding Andrew Sullivan as a blogger amongst bloggers. If I was a guy, and he and I had met in person, I would have slapped up on the back with a cheery “Hey, Jesse man, great to see you again.” I’ve […]

 

Obama To Use Osama As Part Of His “Big Things” 2012 Campaign Tour?

Posted on by William Teach

Of course, the Washington Post puts a positive spin on using the tragedy of 9/11 as a campaign prop, something with which they would excoriate any Republican over doing, but, hey, he’s the Lightworker: Bin Laden raid fits into Obama’s ‘big things’ message Advisers to President Obama are tiptoeing carefully around the political bounce he […]

 

Obama’s Weekly Address: “Hey, Why Not Take A Hybrid Bus!”

Posted on by William Teach

After doing something pretty darned good in authorizing the take down of Bin Laden, he’s right back to his idea of clean green super duper expensive alternative energy while telling us we can’t drill our way out of high gas prices. Then he jumps in his huge fossil fueled vehicle and drives to the golf […]

 

GM Exec: Reporting GM’s Failures Hurts… Republicans?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In an odd turn of events, former GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz thinks that anyone that criticizes GM is not only “mis-informed” but insists that those “foaming ideologues” that criticize the car giant are “damaging the Republican Party.” It is interesting that an executive in the company derided as “Government Motors” is trying to direct […]

 

Politico: Obama Makes “Triumphant Return To Ground Zero”

Posted on by William Teach

So far, I have avoided criticizing Mr. Obama on the killing of Osama Bin Laden, despite Team Obama’s many gaffes and oopsies. Of course, you have the compliant media and Lefty partisans yammering on about how great Obama is, how he single handedly saved the mission, how targeted killings are now awesome, that the military […]

 

The Obama Administration’s cloud of confusion explained *UPDATED*

Posted on by Bookworm

Usually when governments use misinformation, they use it to make themselves look good. The Obama Administration gets points for originality, insofar as it’s been using disinformation and misinformation to make itself look arbitrary, unlawful, helpless and stupid. Here’s jj’s great summary: Okay, what do we have here: 1) There was a firefight. 2) There was […]

 

The “Obama Took 16 Hours” Meme: Hold On, And Think About It

Posted on by William Teach

Apparently, Obama took 16 hours to make the decision to go with the operation to get “Codename Geronimo” (yes, some folks do have a problem with that). Drudge linked to a story by the UK Daily Mail, and that has seemed to start an avalanche of political abuse towards Obama for waiting, especially after they […]

 

Obama’s Meager Post-Bin Laden Bounce Spells Political Trouble For Him

Posted on by John Hawkins

Bush 41 went all the way up to an 88% approval rating after the Gulf War. His son W. soared from 51% to 90% in the space of 10 days after 9/11. That brings us to the death of Osama Bin Laden. This was a HUGE event. There were spontaneous celebrations in New York and […]

 

Does Barack Obama Really Deserve Any Credit For Killing Bin Laden?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Short answer; Yes. Longer answer….George W. Bush deserves credit for starting our programs that targeted Bin Laden. All the programs we’re running now (at least the ones we know about) were either continued from the Bush administration or they were expanded from ongoing operations. Of course, our intelligence agencies deserve a lot of credit and […]

 

Arrogance: Obama Decides HE Can Tell A Company Where They’re Allowed to Build

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Barack Obama thinks he has the power to tell companies where they are “allowed” to build new facilities and, shock of shocks, Obama wants all those facilities to be in union controlled states. Last week Obama’s National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) announced its plans to force Boeing to keep building its aircraft in union plagued […]

 

Chumps Weekly Address: Hey, Let’s Blame Oil Companies For High Prices!

Posted on by William Teach

The difference between a demagogue (interestingly, ye olde Thesaurus has the word “politician” as a synonym) and a leader: the first yammers on and blamestorms, the latter comes up with a real world plan to address the issue and attempts to resolve it. Guess which one Obama is? After the worst recession since the Great […]

 

Why We Can’t Trust Government on Technology

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Free market advocates have for years been fighting the anti-capitalist left over government control of the Internet, a battle that has reached a temporary plateau when Obama’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) arbitrarily decided that it was in full control of the Internet and by fiat implemented the left’s long-sought net neutrality rules. This isn’t the […]

 

Totalitarian revolutions always end up eating their own

Posted on by Bookworm

One of the hallmarks of the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, the Nazi Revolution (because, although the ballot was used in 1932, it was a revolution), the Hussein Iraq takeover (which was also a form of revolution), and other totalitarian takeovers is that the paranoid leadership style inherent in totalitarianism invariably means that the revolution […]

 

Geithner’s Spin: Auto Bailout A Success

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

At the Detroit Economic Club today, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner tried to claim the auto bailout is a success. It certainly doesn’t seem like a success for the taxpayers. GM stock is about $30 today, and unless it gets up to $54, the taxpayers lose money on the deal. Why would it go up? You […]

 

Ohio Gov. John Kasich Tells Obama To Do His Own Job First

Posted on by William Teach

Of course, Obama is way too busy enjoying the trappings of the Oval Office, putting his 2012 election campaign into high gear, and getting revenge on reporters who actually report to actually do the job of Chief Executive. Obama was recently in Ohio to do a taped interview with WKYC Cleveland, and said, vis a […]

 

Obama Regime Uses Tiny Lizard as Pretext to Strangle Texas Oil Industry

Posted on by Dave Blount

Obama et al. have used the spill by his crony capitalist bankrollers at BP as a pretext to shut down oil drilling in the gulf, and the exhaust fumes from an icebreaker to choke off Alaska, but how to justify suppressing land drilling in the desert wastes of West Texas? Here’s how: A three-inch lizard […]

 

Birth Certificate Controversy Proves New Age Of Accusation Or Something

Posted on by William Teach

And it’s all because you stupid, mean, uncivil (and probably raaaaacist) American civilians have access to the Internet (can we blame Al Gore?): A new era of accusation and innuendo President Barack Obama’s appearance Wednesday in the White House briefing room to present a documented rebuttal of suspicions that he was not really born on […]

 

Barack Obama’s Long Form Birth Certificate Says He Was Born In Hawaii. Told You So!

Posted on by John Hawkins

During the campaign, when there were first claims that Barack Obama wasn’t born in the US of A, I treated the idea seriously. I even aimed a little criticism at the mainstream media for refusing to thoroughly investigate the story. However, I also took the time to look into it myself and found that the […]

 

Obama Administration to Top Pharmaceutical Exec Howard Solomon: You’re Fired

Posted on by Dave Blount

Obama may be a communist by upbringing and inclination, but at this point his “fundamental transformation of America” more closely resembles fascism. Under communism, the government directly owns everything, and everyone works for it, essentially as a slave. In subtle contrast, fascism allows for ostensibly private concerns that in reality are run by the government. […]

 

Obama’s Birth Certificate… Can We Get Past This Now? (And is This The End of Trump?)

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

After a poll that came out that showed that only 38% of Americans thought the president was actually born in the USA, the Obama administration has finally released Obama’s long form birth certificate. There are several reasons that Obama finally did this and the biggest is that this issue was starting to hurt him politically […]

 

Super Deep Thinker Obama To Release Birth Certificate Today (Now Released)

Posted on by William Teach

All the news outlets, TV and print, are reporting that pResident Obama will supposedly release his long form birth certificate this morning, making it available to the media while Obama speaks about it at 945am. I’ll update this after he yammers on and calls people mean and raaaaacist or something. One thing I will be […]

 

Barack Obama The Liberal Won’t Win In 2012

Posted on by John Hawkins

Will Barack Obama be reelected in 2012? It’s impossible to say, and given the GOP’s trouble finding a worthy candidate and the difficulties inherent in knocking off a sitting President, it’s easy to be pessimistic despite Obama’s rather obvious incompetence and soft approval ratings. One thing is for sure, however; If Obama’s going to win, […]

 

Attending Harvard Law doesn’t make Obama a genius

Posted on by Bookworm

Regular readers know that I have fussed for years about Obama’s much vaunted intelligence. I’ve agreed that he has a feral, manipulative intelligence, but I’ve challenged the whole brilliant scholar thing. It’s not just the missing grades (which one assumes are missing because they’re embarrassing). It’s also the horrible way he expresses himself when he’s […]

 

As Oil Prices Rise, EPA Attempts to Shut Down Alaska Pipeline

Posted on by Dave Blount

While Comrade Obama lays the groundwork for Soviet-style show trials to blame the people who provide us with gasoline for the cost of their product, here’s an example of why prices won’t be coming down so long as liberals have their “boot on the neck” of the energy sector: Shell Oil Company has announced it […]
