Bob Odell endorses Scott Brown – Does anyone care?

THEBIGLIEThe Scott Brown campaign sent out an announcement that retiring Republican Bob Odell endorsed him today.  Does anyone actually care?  Bob Odell is the squishy Republican from District 8 in New Hampshire that voted for Obamacare’s Medicaid Expansion (which will bankrupt New Hampshire) and who is pushing banking lobbyist Jerry Little (a guy who is completely out-of-touch with Granite Staters) to replace him?  Clearly the guy knew when to quit because otherwise he probably would have lost his primary to Jp Marzullo who is an actual common sense Conservative.  Below is the full press release:

Determined Weakness: Obama’s NASA space policy and rocket engines

“The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works — whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified.”   – President Barack Obama, Inauguration, 1/20/09 So here’s where “works” comes into play: So to … Read more

Guess Joe Biden’s braggadocio about GM is gone now, eh?

Remember, Vice-President Joe Biden (and rumored Presidental-candidate-to-be) used to swagger about with this little ditty of braggadocio : Bin Laden is dead and GM is alive New conventional wisdom: GM is alive – drivers are dead That’ll make for a good bumper sticker for the election, betcha?

Guess both Obama and Scott Brown bear responsibility for this, right?

Obamacare -Year of the SnakeReason why?  Scott Brown brought has it upon himself (we merely talk about it):

  • Scott Brown keeps emphasizing that he looks forward to working with Democrats again
  • He voted for Romneycare (Obamacare before the steroids hit) as a “good thing”

Oh year, the news:

UnitedHealthcare to cut doctors for Mass. seniors.

“National insurance giant UnitedHealthcare plans to cut up to 700 Massachusetts doctors from its physician network for seniors enrolled in its private Medicare plan as a way to control costs, according to company officials.

For elderly patients enrolled in the plan, the cuts mean they will have to find a new doctor or eventually switch to a new health plan that covers their current doctor.”

And of COURSE, we hear the faux outrage from Democrats who can’t stand the idea that the private sector providers are merely following the Law

Obama’s Good Clean Feeling ‘No Matter What!’

There’s strong evidence that Obama has given up and intends to finish out his tenure as a taxpayer funded jet-setter, making the occasional speech to explain this or that royal edict, and planning his post-presidency by living it right now.  (I know, looks like his entire presidency.) Or maybe he’s given up even pretending he … Read more

Obarrassment Redux: O’s Chomping Gum During D-Day Ceremony

The arrogance and  smallness of The One is becoming more and more apparent to more and more people. Personally, I’ve always believed that the current occupant of the White House is a small man–a mountebank big on talk and not much else. A cocktail of narcissism and swirling solipsism is the stuff that courses through the veins of the Big Eared one, and it was on display yesterday during the D-Day Anniversary Event—great timing. He was spotted chewing gum throughout the ceremony, revolting many who noticed (class, class, class… Man! He’s got class).

But this type of thing probably doesn’t come as a surprise to many of the Britons. This isn’t the first time they had to avert their eyes and take an interest elsewhere in hopes of avoiding a gut cringing moment as the American President embarrasses himself and is completely unaware of it. Remember this is the administration that removed the bust of Churchill from the White House upon taking office. And gave it back to the British and then got confused and lied about it. At last report, still resides in the U.K. Ambassador’s residence.

Shaheen makes time for ‘Nanny Staters’ yet still refuses to hold town halls

shaheenproggiesSenator Shaheen spoke today at the New Hampshire Progressive Summit in Henniker.  Interesting that she still refuses to hold town halls with actual constituents but finds time in her schedule to speak to a room filled with left wing loons who want to turn the ‘Live Free or Die’ state into a Nanny State.  All you have to do is read the descriptions for some of their workshops to see what type of event it is:

Mini-Workshop: “Not One More – What We All Can Do to Stem the Tide of Gun Violence” – This workshop is being run by the failed Mom’s Demand Action head Janet Groat of New Hampshire.  Of course, the Granite State doesn’t have a gun violence problem but then again, the astroturfing group of paid Moms pimped by Mayor Bloomberg aren’t really about ending gun violence; they are about gun control of law-abiding citizens.

Obama: It’s My Government

The self regard this man has is enough to make Narcissus blush (just an idea, but maybe someone should show him the reflecting pool on the mall, that may occupy him for the remainder of his term).

In defense of The One’s latest blunder of trading 5 barbarian, terrorist generals for a potential deserter the “I, Me, My, Mine” obsessed one exposed his true belief and said (h/t Hot Air emphasis mine):

I make no apologies for it. It was a unanimous decision among my principals in my government, and a view that was shared by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. This is something I would do again and will continue to do whenever I have an opportunity.

Interesting choice of words, “my government”. I didn’t think it was his, but hey, I’ll play along.

It is “His” government that is failing the veterans, resulting in many of their deaths due to the VA incompetence.

High-Capacity Magazine Bans – No Hinderance to Mass Shooters

When the only people with weapons are the bad guys, at that point, what difference does a high capacity magazine ban make?  None.
