What’s Cut from Obama’s West Point Speech Says Much About Him

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Drudge has an interesting little snippet concerning President Obama’s recent speech before the graduating class at West Point. It is a short headline about what was cut from Obama’s speech, a cut that really says a lot about the arrogance of team Obama as well as his utter lack of spontaneity and sincerity and his […]

 

Obama’s Hawaii Home Now Represented by a Republican

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For the first time in nearly 20 years, Hawaii’s First Congressional District will be represented by a Republican. Charles Djou has won the special election to take the seat that lies in the same district in which President Obama’s Hawaiian home sits. Mark this as the second Republican pick up of a highly symbolic Democrat […]

 

Obama Doesn’t Need Teflon: He’s A Democrat

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

In my latest Pajamas column I talk about how President Obama is forgiven anything and everything simply because he’s a Democrat. Also, I talk about the media elites ignoring stories that don’t matter to them. Here are some of my thoughts: As in Houston in 2008 and Nashville in 2010, there is real bias in […]

 

Jan Brewer Reminds Obama Administration: Reading is Fun!

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Reading is fun! And fundamental to, you know, comprehending laws prior to demonizing them. Of course, the Obama Administration and other Democrats aren’t reading the law partially so as to give themselves that whole plausible deniability cover, together with their usual childish “La la la, I can’t hear you – and don’t care to anyway” […]

 

Sen Sessions is Right. Tell John Morton, the Head of ICE: You’re Fired

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

So, not only did the Democrats in Congress cheer, applaud and give standing ovations to a foreign leader disparaging America and American citizens from OUR House floor, but now the people they’ve put in charge as law enforcers don’t seem to understand the words ‘law’ nor ‘enforce‘. Or, they just think it doesn’t count if […]

 

Congress Says There’ll Be No Illinois Gitmo

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In an interesting development the House Armed Services Committee unanimously approved of legislation that would block Gitmo, Illinois from coming to fruition. In fact, they’ve blocked any Gitmo terrorist from being transferred anywhere into the interior of the USA. This is a blow to Obama’s desires to shut Gitmo down and to bring terrorists to […]

 

Caption This: “Rodent Scurries by Obama” Edition

This is just priceless (via Memeorandum): Caption: A small rodent runs in front of President Barack Obama as he delivers remarks on Wall Street and Financial reform, Thursday, May 20, 2010, in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington.

Unprecedented: Calderon Slams US From House Floor. Receives Standing Ovation

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Unprecedented, indeed. But, not surprising, given that our own President has done nothing but the same. I’m wondering if Calderon at least read the Arizona bill first, before demonizing an American state. That would actually be unprecedented, amongst our alleged leaders, at least. President Obama, for once, forewent bowing. Not to worry, though! The Democrats […]

 

Huge Mob of SEIU Goons Attacks Banker’s Home

Posted on by Dave Blount

As a “community organizer,” B. Hussein Obama trained other left-wing agitators. Presumably his lessons included tactics like this, as reported by Nina Easton: Last Sunday, on a peaceful, sun-crisp afternoon, our toddler finally napping upstairs, my front yard exploded with 500 screaming, placard-waving strangers on a mission to intimidate my neighbor, Greg Baer. Baer is […]

 

Now That The Deficit Is Ginormous, Dems Queasy Over Deficit Spending

Posted on by William Teach

So, after taking over Congress in 2007 and saying “you think you Republicans know how to spend? Bah! You’ve only learned to max out a few starter credit cards with low ceilings. We’ll show you pikers how max out the platinum cards and purchase a $500k house while making $50k a year”, now Democrats are […]

 

The Shrine of Multiculturalism: Now Sacrificing Lives in the Name of Appeasement

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

The Left often pays lips service to, while actually doing nothing about, the:  military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy. Yet, in regards to radical Islam, that is exactly what the left wants us to do. Don’t ask.:  And, dear Allah, never tell! Instead, they prefer to demagogue American citizens, while “bitterly clinging” to their insane […]

 

NY Times Names BP Oil Spill Obama’s 9/11

Posted on by William Teach

No. Seriously. Thomas Friedman actually goes there: Obama And The Oil Spill President Obama’s handling of the gulf oil spill has been disappointing. I say that not because I endorse the dishonest conservative critique that the gulf oil spill is somehow Obama’s Katrina and that he is displaying the same kind of incompetence that George […]

 

Our Current Government: A Bunch of Radicalized Slackers

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

The only thing worse than a hipster slacker, is a radicalized hipster slacker. That, however, is exactly what the Obama administration and the current Democrats in Congress are. Witness the slacker promotion of Nancy Pelosi at work: “We see it as an entrepreneurial bill,” Pelosi said, “a bill that says to someone, if you want […]

 

Snap! Janet Napolitano Hasn’t Read The Arizona Illegal Bill, Either, Plus ACLU Sues

Posted on by William Teach

Let me get this straight: we are constantly told that Liberals are just so much smarter than everyone else, yet, they keep chiming in on subjects that they haven’t bothered to learn the facts on. Remember when Obama said the Cambridge PD “acted stupidly”? Most failed to read the Stimulus and ObamaCare bills, and even […]

 

Fannie Mae’s Involvement in Global Warming Caper

Posted on by Dave Blount

The infamously corrupt Fannie Mae — a black hole into which our money continues to flow by the $billions, even after its instrumental role in causing the 2008 financial collapse — may have found a way to make itself profitable. It has carved out a niche in the biggest swindle in the history of the […]

 

Why Michelle Obama’s Fat Report Isn’t Reported

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Howard Kurtz wonders why the media isn’t covering Michelle Obama’s fat report when the media love Michelle Obama. It’s because the media loves her that they’re staying quiet. Why? First, it reinforces the whole image of a nanny government poking into every aspect of every person’s life. The media knows how this sort of thing […]

 

Obama’s $23 Billion Teachers Unions Bailout

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

As the rest of us in America lose jobs by the millions, Obama wants to spend another $23 billion more of your taxes on public employees in a teacher bailout plan proposed by Senator Tom Harkin (D, Iowa). Harkin wants this new public employees bailout in order to prevent teachers layoffs, a concern echoed by […]

 

The Last Days of Tehran

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

Some Hollywood films are built on the idea of suspense on a grand scale — “The Last Days of Pompeii”, and the story of the Titanic are both perennials for filmmakers, because the audience knows the characters are doomed, and thus watching their otherwise everyday quotidian details takes on a whole new dimension, as we await the tragic denouement. Photos of the Middle East in the 1970s take on a similar look these days.

 

Illinois One of the Worst Legal Climates in the Country

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Institute for Legal Reform has completed its 2010 rankings of the lawsuit climate in the various states and Illinois comes in at a dismal 45th place. If Obama needs some help, that would be 45 out of 50 states (not 57 or 58 states as he said during the campaign). This overly litigious lawsuit […]

 

Palin/Brewer to Obama/Holder: Read the AZ Immigration Bill – and Secure the Border

Posted on by Sister Toldjah

Rockin’ video: Love the video clip in the ad of AG Eric Holder, a leading critic of the Arizona immigration bill, admitting he hasn’t read the 10 page bill. Palin and Brewer had a press conference yesterday in Arizona where they announced the launch of a new website: Secure the Border, a site the cuts […]

 

Arizona’s Gov. Brewer Wonders If Obama Is The Comic-In-Chief

Posted on by William Teach

I’m just wondering, is it too early to start the “Brewer 2012” talk? Or, perhaps, Palin/Brewer 2012? Because, damn, I really love the way she is going after President Obama In launching a Web site aimed at educating the United States on Arizona’s controversial illegal immigration law, Governor Jan Brewer (R-Ariz.) took umbrage with the […]

 

Study Shows Businesses Weren’t Cutting Jobs Until…

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Associated Press made an interesting concession — likely without even knowing they did so — in a recent report on the “new normal” of permanent job loss in Obama’s economy. The AP admitted that until the recession, American businesses weren’t firing people simply so improve the bottom line as many anti-business, left-wingers have been […]

 

Team Obama Proposes Delay In Terror Suspect Hearings

Posted on by William Teach

According to Anthony Romero of the ACLU, the Left can now stop referring to Obama as “Bush Lite” when it comes to terrorism suspects. Let’s skip briefly ahead in the story, shall we? Anthony Romero, the executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, assailed the Obama administration for considering such ideas. He noted that […]

 

How Chris Christie Press Smackdown Is Different Than President Obama’s Lecturing

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

When President Obama lectures the press, he’s lecturing adoring sycophants. Their problem is that they don’t love enough. When Chris Christie lectures the press, it’s because they are fundamentally unfair and biased. Dave Weigel loses that fact and says this: I can’t help but notice, however, the difference between the reaction Christie’s getting and the […]

 

DU Thread Of The Day: Obama’s Anti-Pot, Or Something

Posted on by William Teach

Recently, I received and email from a reader who pays attention to my site, Stop The ACLU, and Right Wing News, wondering whatever happened to all the DU threads, Kos posts, and other unhinged lefty posts that used to be excerpted. I know I started DU dumpster dives long ago, after seeing John Hawkins do […]

 

2005 Kid’s Bush/Hitler Art Gets Award, 2010 Kid’s Obama/Commie Art Gets Censored

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It is, as we all know, the year 2010 and the era of Obama has fairly begun. Accordingly the commissars of good art taste in our schools have spoken: no kid’s artwork that makes The Obammessiah out to be a commie will be allowed. Interestingly there was another time, another year when things were different. […]

 

Kagan’s Contempt for the First Amendment

Posted on by Dave Blount

The duty of a Supreme Court Justice is to uphold our Constitutional liberties — unless that Justice is appointed by B. Hussein Obama, in which case her role is to destroy those liberties, starting with the most fundamental: President Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court, Elena Kagan, argued certain forms of speech that promote “racial […]

 

Report: May 12, 2010 Sarah Palin In Chicago

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In the deep blue sea of the People’s Republic of Chicagoland, Sarah Palin shined like a light of liberty among the darkness of Mayor Richard “King” Daley’s perverse domain. Palin brought hope into the home of President Obama’s cynical “Chicago Way” style of politics, and I was there to witness the May 12 show. Sarah […]

 

Obama To Whine About GOP Blocking New Jobs Bill Today, Activists Smack Him In Buffalo

Posted on by William Teach

This is not a repeat from early 2009 President Barack Obama on Thursday will urge Congress to move forward on new job creation measures and pounce on Republicans for “obstructing efforts to rebuild” the U.S. economy, a White House official said. Wait, wasn’t the point of the Stimulus to create jobs? And the health care […]

 

Obama’s Faith-Based Programs Pushing Global Warming, Climate Change, Green Issues

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Widely reviled by the left, Bush’s faith-based initiatives were claimed to be evidence that Bush was a “religious zealot” trying to destroy America with evil Christianity. Now, two years into the Obama administration, we are seeing what Obama intends to do with his continuation of Bush’s faith-based offices: he wants to use them to push […]
