Posted on April 26, 2011 by William Teach

Obviously, the second part is more pressing to the Liberals at the Washington Post, rather than how much Americans are suffering Soaring gasoline prices are biting into household incomes and nibbling at Americans’ fuel consumption – and support for President Obama, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll. About six in 10 respondents said they […]

Union Plan: ‘Forget About the Law, Brand Businesses as Human Right Violators’

Posted on April 25, 2011April 25, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Once again we see how lawless the Obama administration and its allies in unions are. By their own admission they don’t care about the law. In the following video we see Obama’s appointee to his Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiations and United Auto Workers President, Bob King, telling attendees at a recent union […]

Obama Blames Everyone Else on Oil Prices

Posted on April 24, 2011April 24, 2011 by Brian Garst

Despite public demand for increasing domestic oil production, the current White House has sent a clear signal that the U.S. will not be increasing production into the future, despite growing demand. While simply one of many factors impacting the global price of oil, it is a factor. But rather than acknowledge that the price of […]

This Sunday morning in the Washington Post’s print edition, there is a long, long article which is entitled “Guantanamo Bay: Why Obama hasn’t fulfilled his promise to close the facility.” Alternate title, per the web permalink, “how the White House lost the fight to close it.” Strangely missing from the article is the proven fact […]

Left Laments Ryan’s GOP Budget NOT Raising America’s Ire

Posted on April 23, 2011April 24, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

The left is desperate to color Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan’s GOP budget plan (The Path to Prosperity, as it is styled) as the end of America, crazed to call his plan a killer of old people, and maniacal about saying that the GOP and Ryan want to destroy the country by asking for a few […]

Obama embraces scattershot lie tactic

Posted on April 22, 2011April 22, 2011 by Bookworm

I’ve been a practicing lawyer for more than twenty years. My legal briefs are pretty much like my blog writing: I develop an argument, and support it with facts (or, in the case of a legal brief, legal cites) that are directly on point. Often, to show my honesty to the court, I’ll make a […]

Rep. Peter Roskam on the Ryan Budget Plan: Obama’s Lack of Leadership Gives GOP a Leading Issue

Posted on April 22, 2011April 23, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

No one but the worst sycophant thinks that President Obama’s latest stab at a federal budget is a serious plan. In fact, that he’s come before the American people again with a second budget plan itself bespeaks of a president badly floundering on the issue. This has left the Republican Party, and more specifically the […]

Union Operative That Wants ‘Financial Panic’ and Communism Still Working at SEIU

Posted on April 22, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

You may remember back in March that an audio tape was released upon which an SEIU operative expressed his desire to destroy the American economy by creating “financial panic” and overloading the system.

Posted on April 22, 2011 by William Teach

Just kidding.

Say, Exactly Where Did “Birtherism” Start?

Posted on April 22, 2011April 22, 2011 by William Teach

That’s a darned good question, one that has been answered within the blogs and forums long ago, but, The Politico’s Ben Smith and Byron Tau take a stab at in the mainstream Obama media Just when it appeared that public interest was fading, celebrity developer Donald Trump has revived the theory that President Barack Obama […]

IPAB: The Acronym for Death Panels

Posted on April 21, 2011 by Dave Blount

The socialist remnants of Britain have the Orwellian NICE (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) to determine who gets medical care and who doesn’t. As ObamaCare congeals, we’ll find ourselves living or dying at the whims of IPAB: In his speech on the deficit, Obama pointed to IPAB [Independent Payment Advisory Board] as an […]

Barack Obama: Flawless!

Posted on April 21, 2011April 21, 2011 by John Hawkins

Remember this?? Seven years ago, in April 2004, President George W. Bush held a formal news conference in which he was asked, “What would your biggest mistake be…and what lessons have you learned from it?” Bush’s hemming and hawing answer — in several minutes of flailing about, he never managed to come up with a […]

Your Taxes Paying Government Union Members NOT to Work

Posted on April 21, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Must be nice to be a government worker in a government union. Heck, some of these government union guys are even paid not to work and paid by the taxpayers to do so, yet! Vincent Vernuccio, labor policy guy at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, tells us that the Obama administration is even ignoring its responsibility […]

Obama’s nastiness comes to the fore

Posted on April 21, 2011 by Bookworm

I’m sure you’ve all seen the interview Obama had with the Texas reporter. Obama was asked mildly hard questions, got defensive and, when he thought he was off mike, chastised the reporting for daring to do anything but grovel before him. Daniel Henninger, in today’s Wall Street Journal, looks as this episode and a few […]

pResident With Notion Of An Idea Of An Outline For A Plan Calls Ryan Budget “Radical”

Posted on April 21, 2011 by William Teach

Perhaps if Obama spent less time campaigning and more time leading and putting together a plan, he’d have a right to talk…..sorry, I forgot, that’s all Obama does. Talk. And tell others “get ‘er done. The links are calling” At first, President Obama didn’t call the Republican budget plan “radical” during his town hall yesterday. […]

Say, What’s The Deal With The $20 Billion BP Slush Fund?

Posted on April 20, 2011 by William Teach

Something I have been wondering about all day, after listening to the news reports about people still suffering, their businesses still closed or business vastly reduced, people out of work, on this 1 year anniversary of the BP blowout. Remember this Mr. Obama said the fund would be run by Kenneth Feinberg – the administration’s […]

Chicago area Congressman Luis Gutierrez has been harping on the immigration issue for many years and since Obama was elected he has stepped up that activism.

CBS’ Bob Schieffer, Class Warrior: Hey, I know. Let’s Soak the Rich!

Posted on April 19, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

If there was any doubt about how hostile the Old Media is toward tax cuts, spending cuts, and making government accountable and Constitutionally justifiable, CBS’ Bob Schieffer is happy to dispel that doubt. On the April 17 episode of Face the Nation, Schieffer asked Congressman Paul Ryan (R, WS) why we can’t just soak the […]

Good Thing Obama’s Stopping That Humanitarian Crisis In Libya

Posted on April 19, 2011 by William Teach

Remember when Obama gave a speech about “a looming humanitarian crisis” and that “he refused to let that happen”? And about “America’s leadership” (right after talking about abdicating control to NATO)? How’s that working out? MISURATA, Libya — For the 500,000 residents of this once-prosperous port city, there is nowhere to run. The city is […]

Obama Hits Campaign Trail To Tout His Notion Of An Inkling Of A Debt Plan

Posted on April 18, 2011April 18, 2011 by William Teach

Before that happens, he is going to give “4 lucky reporters interviews,” per the front page of The Politico, to “discuss his vision for reducing our debt and bringing down our deficit, based on the values of shared responsibility and shared prosperity.”In other words, the reporters will be unpaid mouth pieces to promote O’s cocktail […]

Posted on April 17, 2011 by Doug Ross

Auto Recall: When The Wheels Come Off Government Motors… Literally

Posted on April 15, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

GM, Obama’s favorite federally owned car company, was thrilled to report in March that sales figures for the Chevy Cruze helped put the company on the fast track to success but it wasn’t the best news when the wheels began to literally fall off the Cruze causing a recall of GM’s “success” story.

San Francisco discovers free enterprise

Posted on April 14, 2011 by Bookworm

San Francisco is definitely up in the top five when it comes to “most Progressively governed cities in America.” No surprise, then, that the city’s finances are in a shambles.

Even The Washington Post Notices Obama’s Deficit Speech Was For Campaign 2012

Posted on April 14, 2011 by William Teach

A Short, Obligatory Post On Obama’s Speech

Posted on April 13, 2011April 14, 2011 by John Hawkins

Obama’s speech today wasn’t serious. He didn’t present a plan for deficit reduction today; he presented a plan to have a plan while attacking the people who do have a plan. In the end, it was more of the same old, same old. Raise taxes on the rich? Check. Demonize Republicans as wanting to starve […]
