Posted on by William Teach

Hey, you know that high risk pool ObamaCare mandated, and just started accepting applications Thursday, July 1st? How’s that working out?

Critics of the $5 billion high-risk pool […]

 

Friday Stupid: Is Pelosi Getting Drunk Before Appearances?

Posted on by William Teach

It’s funny. The left is accusing John Boehner of drinking in bars every night (where was the concern with Ted Kennedy?) Perhaps they should be more concerned about Pelosi knocking back a few shots of Mezcal prior to speaking appearances Unemployment benefits are creating jobs faster than practically any other program, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi […]

 

Obama Wants to Talk Energy… Well, Except for BP Spill

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On one hand the administration and its cohorts in the Democrat majority want to use the BP oil spill as an excuse to wildly raise taxes on energy, to instill cap and trade, and to excuse more regulations in order to take control of as much of our national economy as possible, yet on the […]

 

Dems Include Union Bailout in War Funding Bill

There is no other aspect of Washington D.C. that upsets voters more than government spending surreptitiously added on to spending bills and this week Congress indulged its inner drunken sailor once again by adding a $10 billion bailout for teachers unions in the bill that is supposed to fund the war effort.

Alexa’s Top 5 Must Reads 6/30/10

Posted on by Alexa Shrugged

Why Obamanomics Has Failed WSJ The president, his friends and advisers talk endlessly about the circumstances they inherited as a way of avoiding responsibility for the 18 months for which they are responsible. But they want new stimulus measures–which is convincing evidence that they too recognize that the earlier measures failed. EXACTLY! Instead of blaming […]

 

Obama May Be Turning Jews Against Democrats

Posted on by Dave Blount

Some good may actually come of the catastrophic farce known as the Obama Administration — provided Jews learn from it to stop shooting themselves in the foot by supporting Democrats. McLaughlin & Associates, a national polling company, recently released the “National Survey of Jewish Voters” which reported that while Jewish voters favored Obama 78 percent […]

 

Most Ethical White House EVAH Forgets to Mention $40K Payout

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Back in the hoary days of the Obama transition Obamaniacs and other sycophants were rushing to the microphones to tell us all that we voters had just hired the most ethical White House ever. Why, White House transition team co-chair John Podesta even claimed that Obama was instituting the “strictest ethics rules ever applied” as […]

 

Kathleen Parker: “Say, Obama Is Kinda Feminine, Isn’t He?”

Posted on by William Teach

I generally avoid mentioning Chatty Kathy Parker, as I do most of the other fake Conservatives (see John Hawkins’ latest article on David Frum for more on these types of weenies). Yet, this article is fasinating in her opinion of PeBO, starting with the headline Obama: Our first female president If Bill Clinton was our […]

 

Oops! Perhaps Marc Ambinder Can Provide Some Facts For His Own Agitprop

Posted on by William Teach

I caught this little bit of Obama propaganda through ye olde Twitter, via Doug Mataconis at Outside The Beltway. Headline from Marc: Agitprop Alert: The Jones Act And The Oil Spill (ps: those who are serving a far, far left agenda should probably not be throwing around words like “agitprop“). Here is his central point […]

 

Obama’s Deadly Deadline: What President Obama Really Wants In Afghanistan

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Marc Theissen has an excellent piece today about Afghanistan and President Obama’s deadlines: The deadline is more than a tactical error; it is a strategic miscalculation that undermines almost every element of our efforts in Afghanistan. A withdrawal date undermines the very premise of a counterinsurgency strategy — that by protecting the population, you can […]

 

Wash. Post Cries: White ‘Hate’ Groups Increasing! Says Who?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It’s time once again for some more left-wing hand wringing over the supposed rise of “white militias” in the era of Obama. This time it is the blather of Metro Columnist Courtland Milloy claiming that white-based hate groups have increased substantially because we have a black president. Milloy also rails about the “racial double standard” […]

 

Is President Obama Trying To Kill The Gulf State Economies?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

It sure seems like President Obama despises Republican states. The industry remains dormant in the Gulf. Like the dry fields of California, acres and acres of livelihood being destroyed by Democrat mismanagement, so to the Gulf states see their fields dying and they’re lives destroyed.

ObamaCare Failing On Deadlines, Costs

Posted on by William Teach

It’s been awhile since we talked about President Chumps outsourced “historic” legislation. Since it has been passed, there have been stories, but, they have been low key, and tend to be somewhat buried. Like this one Three months after the $940 billion health care bill was signed into law, questions abound about whether the Obama […]

 

Arizona Needs Help. Obama’s Answer? Signs, Lawsuits and More Incompetence

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Well, at least Obama can likely take credit for creating or saving one job: that of Arizona Governor Jan Brewer. Once floundering, she is now enjoying a 55% approval rating and is likely to be re-elected. This is partially based on the fact that she, like many conservative women in the forefront these days, actually […]

 

Welcome to East Germany on the Potomac

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

Newsweek, owned by the Washington Post, famously screamed on a cover story early last year that “We Are All Socialists Now.” In contrast, the conservative Hot Air blog recently noted the correlation between the leviathan socialist state virtually all Beltway journalists begged for when they endorsed Obama in 2008, and the state of journalism itself. You wanted East Germany on the Potomac, MSM? The paranoia over who leaked faux-conservative Dave Weigel’s incendiary emails on the Journolist goes hand in that hand with that big of a government

Moonbats On The March: Violence At G20

Posted on by William Teach

In a city during a meeting where the Left’s favorite incompetent leader (more on that at The Telegraph) is pushing to continue big spending and deficits (most of the other G20 countries have realized that continuing big spending and deficits might turn them into the next Greece), much of which helps those on the Left […]

 

Fish Wrap: Obama Reasserts His Authoritih!

Posted on by William Teach

No, really. Seriously. That is what their headline says: “In Week Of Tests, The President Reasserts His Authority.” Question for the Times: when did he actually assert his authority in the first place? After two months in which an oil gusher seemed to underscore the limits of his powers, President Obama spent the last week […]

 

Obama’s Drilling Moratorium a Sop to Unions?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The president of the Seafarers International Union’s Gulf Coast District, Dean Corgey, recently penned an op ed in which he noted an interesting fact: deepwater oil drilling rigs are “100 percent non-union.” With this in mind one of union bought president Barack Obama’s major decisions — in fact, one of his few actual decisions — […]

 

Disclosure Act: Another Example of Unconstitutional Obamaism

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Revealing Audio From Blago Trial — Obama Admin. Joins Blago’s Fire Sale

The Illinois State House News service has some very revealing audio from the Rod Blagojevich trial from the June 23 court sessions.

Federal Funds Paid for ACORN Youth Groups

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

If you haven’t checked out CNSNews.com, it is a great place to find stories not widely discussed in the Old Media. Often CNS hits stories before anyone else and the Old Media has to play catch-up to report what CNSNews already reported. Recently CNS had an investigative story detailing millions in federal funds that went […]

 

Fish Wrap Says Decision To Remove McChrystal Shows His Decisiveness

Posted on by William Teach

It’s good to see the State Run Media able to run a serious “look at how great our messiah is!” article for a change, rather than the normal “oh, crap, what has he done this time? Spinning this will be hawwwwwd!” story of late. I was getting worried that the stress of spinning would cause […]
