Bitter Half Grouses About Her Tough Job

Posted on by Dave Blount

Apparently the lot of Michelle Antoinette is tougher than we peasants realize. Michelle Obama thinks being America’s First Lady is ‘hell’, Carla Bruni reveals today in a wildly indiscreet book.

SEIUs Anna Burger to Retire

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The New York Times gave a glowing review of Ana Burger’s career as a most divisive member of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). But how could one be less arrogant and pushy than would seem natural for a union that set out to fashion itself an “international” union? Burger, 59, was supposed to be […]

 

Obama’s Favors to Unions

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Washington Examiner asks a few substantive questions about unions this Labor Day weekend. Why do they seem to have such an outsized power when their dues paying members are fewer than ever, when they work in fewer industries than ever, and when they have such money troubles? Ah, but the answer is what we […]

 

Obama’s Eyes Are on 2012 Prize

Posted on by Dave Blount

Evidence accrues that Comrade Obama continues to defy the public he supposedly represents by imposing overwhelmingly unpopular policies because he doesn’t care if his party loses Congress this fall. The lefties at Time, who helped hype him into office, discuss the ostensible decline of Obama’s Organizing for America machine: What happened to Barack Obama’s once […]

 

ObamaCare Already Causing Insurance Prices to Rise

Posted on by Dave Blount

Only the severely cognitively challenged could have failed to realize that ObamaCare would drive up the cost of medical insurance. But just to get it on the record: Health insurers say they plan to raise premiums for some Americans as a direct result of the health overhaul in coming weeks, complicating Democrats’ efforts to trumpet […]

 

ObamaCare Won’t Actually Lower Costs, Says Report

Posted on by William Teach

Which, of course, the New York Times tries to spin away A new government study says President Obama’s health care law will have negligible effects on total national health spending in the next 10 years, neither slowing nor fueling the explosive growth of medical costs. Yet, time and time again, we were all told that […]

Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, has an interesting expose in the Washington Examiner revealing how the U.S. government has decided to allow an obviously illegal fund-raising scheme that the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) invented to fuel its spending on political causes and campaigns.

Recovery Summer Becomes “Eh, Maybe The Jobs’ll Come Back In A Few Years”

Posted on by William Teach

As more and more media outlets publish stories about just how bad the economy is, particularly the unemployment situation, I wonder if they will finally place the blame where it belongs, namely, on President Obama and the elected Democrats? You know that they will certainly blame Republicans in the House, which they are sure to […]

 

‘Something Weird Happens When Presidencies Go Wrong’

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

As John Podhoretz wrote last week, “Something weird happens when presidencies go wrong — presidents become incompetent at doing the things they were always able to do in their sleep, and their aides follow suit.”

And that was before President Obama’s was dogged by unforced errors on this holiday weekend

 

I know a shallow intellect when I see it — or why Obama’s carpet and Jan Brewer’s brain freeze are two sides of the same coin

Posted on by Bookworm

When I was in high school, I developed a trick to make myself look smarter. I learned the beginning of a few key quotations, all tied into the classical literary or historic canon. At appropriate moments in a conversation, I’d start the quote, and then quickly trail off, as if I didn’t want to bore […]

 

Cloward-Piven Spending Spree Continues

Obviously our economy cannot sustain still more government spending.

From the Wall Street Journal: The Obama administration on Tuesday will launch […]

 

Credit Card ‘Reform’ Will Force All Credit Purchases to Exceed $10

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Previous to the current meddling by Congress, stores were technically not allowed to require a minimum purchase for credit cards. If you wanted to charge ten cents or ten dollars merchants were supposed to accept the charge. But the Durbin Amendment (Sen. Dick Durbin, D of Ill.) to the credit card “reform” bill passed by […]

 

Infrastructure Spending Back On Obama Radar Updated: Now With Full Obaaaaaaam-bulance!

Posted on by William Teach

What’s that saying about “doing the same thing and expecting different results”? It really doesn’t matter if Obama went to Columbia and Harvard. It doesn’t matter that he is POTUS.

Called on the Carpet: Obama’s New WH Rug Muffs History

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

He grew up in Indonesia, his father was a Kenyan, and he’s been fighting the perception that he isn’t much of an American since he became a nationally known entity. Unfortunately for President Obama, his redecoration of the Oval Office is not helping by making him seem just as ignorant about America as his critics […]

 

Violence Soaked AFL-CIO Prez Calls Palin a McCarthyite?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For his Labor Day weekend trick, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka leveled the charge of McCarthyism at former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

Atlanta Post: Obama’s Not Black Enough

In the if-a-white-guy-said-it department, a black oriented website called The Atlanta Post is featuring a piece by Yvette Carnell headlined, “Obama’s Achilles Heel: He’s Not African-American,” in which Carnell decides that Obama is failing because he isn’t really black enough to make it all work. Further Carnell asserts that Obama can’t convince African Americans that […]

 

Obama And Holder Sue Sheriff Joe Arpaio

Another Obama White House Lie About Islam

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Remember that iftar dinner the president sponsored? The dinner that got him in trouble because he came out in strong support of the mega-mosque at Ground Zero, support from which he backed away the very next day?
