Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Associated Press posted an interesting piece revealing that the health insurance industry is far from the image that Democrats and other leftists want to present.

In the war of words that the White House started, Fox News is up 9%. And CNN? They’ve dropped 68% in prime time. And they are dead last among cable news networks, including Headline News.

Why Does Obama Hate the Poor? Part Two

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On August 13 I posted a piece wherein I facetiously asked “Why does Obama hate the poor?” Then I pointed out that the cash for clunkers program was likely to cause the price of used cars to skyrocket in the near future. I also asserted that the reason this will be so is because Obama’s […]

Obama’s 4 Steps To Dissent Free TV

Posted on by John Hawkins

The way that Obama is dealing with Fox News is transparently cynical. Fox News has the biggest cable news ratings. CNN and MSNBC are a joke beside of them.

The Uniter Expands His Enemies List

Posted on by Dave Blount

Remember all the hokey talk about how the Moonbat Messiah would unite us? Chairman Zero doesn’t: “When you’re on their side, it’s all OK, but if you’re not, they rain hell down on you,” said R.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Roll Call is reporting that the $250 billion extension to the Medicare physician payment program was defeated in the Senate today. Reid couldn’t even get a simple majority losing in a 47 to 53 vote.

Tea Party Breaks Out in San Francisco

Posted on by Dave Blount

Of all the preposterous claims made by Obamunists before the cataclysm that befell us last November, the one surest to draw bitter laughter from those who knew better was the promise that this megalomaniacal Marxist would unite us. Yet amazingly enough, that’s the one promise he may fulfill. Just as all patriotic Americans loathe what […]

 

Obama’s Desire To Control Fox News, The Media & Everything

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Donald Sensing has a must-read piece about the Barack Obama strategy. I’ll quote one paragraph, but you must go read the whole thing: And to think that George W. Bush was mocked for saying, “If you’re not with us, you’re with the terrorists.” The White House is laying a foundation of future media relations that […]

Looks like the days of shooting flowers and hugs at the enemy might be coming sooner then we thought President Barack Obama signed an executive order earlier this month requiring federal agencies to set a 2020 greenhouse gas emission reduction target within 90 days — and he followed up by asking : “our brave men and […]

 

A View Of Barack Obama: The Right vs. The Left

Posted on by John Hawkins

When I look at Barack Obama, I see a stunningly naive, cowardly, dishonest, vindictive, arrogant, hyper-partisan empty suit, who has gotten as far as he has mainly because he’s black, gives a good speech, and was extraordinarily lucky in his timing. This is a man who rose to the absolute pinnacle of power in American […]

The nation’s largest abortion mill Planned Parenthood is recruiting […]

 

Administration Aggrandizes President, Demonizes Others

Posted on by B. Daniel Blatt

Look, it’s entirely fair to criticize the Bush Administration for not adapting our military strategy to meet changing circumstances in Afghanistan, but it’s unbecoming for the incumbent Administration to act as if they’re the first ones to ask critical questions while the previous one did not: One of President Obama’s top advisers said Sunday the […]

Obamacare Lacks ‘Protection Against Treatment Denials’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The L.A. Times published a story that was probably meant solely as a bash on insurance companies, but still the report brings up several issues that Obamacare will only make worse if passed.

Administration Attack on FoxNews Makes President Look Petty

Posted on by B. Daniel Blatt

You know, if the president really wanted to look like he’s secure in his leadership and confident of the merits of his policies, instead of regularly dispatching his minions to trash FoxNews, he’d given them a talking point like this: In this era of multiple sources of news, we’re pleased to see them out there.

Obama Administration Votes To Restrict Free Speech (update)

Posted on by McQ

This is worrisome. I just featured a story in which Democrats have slipped a “hate speech” bill into the Defense Appropriations bill in a bid to further eroding our 1st Amendment protections.

Anti-Semitism: Okay for Obamunists, Not for Others

Posted on by Dave Blount

The hebephrenic anti-Semitism continues unabated at Chairman Zero’s closely moderated website.

Obama Abandons Abused Women in Afghanistan

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

President Barack Obama is putting the finishing touches on making a mockery out of the unsupportable claim that Democrats care about women’s rights by his signal to the Afghan Taliban, warlords, strongmen, militias, and tribal leaders that he’s ready to negotiate with anyone there in order to smooth his efforts in that troubled region.
