Obama says he won’t sign anything if Harry Reid hasn’t urinated all over it, and we know Reid and the democrat Senate is running cover for Obama so he isn’t forced to lead. They call this compromise. I call it a sign. A sign that we need to fire Obama and Reid…
Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, ‘the buck stops here’. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”

During a review of Mr. Obama’s Republican tax compromise with the democrat caucus one democrat House member was overheard expressing his distaste for the plan with the comment… “F…the president.”
Everyone knows Good Cop, Bad Cop.
You have gruff and uncompromising on one side, and then someone else shows up sweet as pie. The goal is to get something you want that they do not want to give up.
So is Mr. Obama’s compromise on stopping a tax increase part of the good cop bad-cop formula?
I just got this email from the President. (me an anyone else on that email list) Steve — When Michelle and I sit down with our family to give thanks today, I want you to know that we’ll be especially grateful for folks like you. Everything we have been able to accomplish in the last … Read more
Good to see that post election bounce…er, I mean…(what’s the opposite of bounce?) Courtesy of Zogby International with a H/T to Hot Air!
Twenty-two months after announcing that the Guantanamo Bay detention facility would be closed in twelve months, the Obama administration has announced that they will now be holding Khalid Sheikh Mohammed at that facility, indefinitely, without any trial at all.
Paul Hodes gets an ‘A+’ for toeing the Pelosi/Obama Party line, and a least an ‘A’ for recycling the party talking points. For example, Barack Obama has been wandering around claiming the Chamber of Commerce is using foreign money to affect local elections. Paul Hodes has been wandering around New Hampshire saying the exact same thing.
Obama
“Just this week, we learned that one of the largest groups paying for these ads regularly takes in money from foreign corporations,” Mr. Obama said. “So groups that receive foreign money are spending huge sums to influence American elections.”
Hodes-From Roll Call
“It could very well be that foreign money’s coming in to try to trample the voice of democracy,” Hodes said. “That’s a sad state of affairs.”
Hodes-again…
"… there are reports that the Chamber of Commerce is using money from foreign companies to influence New Hampshire elections."
I asked Hodes Lie-deflector Mark Bergman to show us the reports. I guess Mark isn’t reading my blog, or he simply has no proof, but I know why he has no proof.
Last Tuesday, President Obama got off the helicopter in front of The White House carrying a baby piglet under each arm. The squared-away Marine guard snapped to attention, saluted and said: "Nice pigs, sir." The President replied, "These are not pigs. These are authentic, Arkansas Razorback Hogs. I got one for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and I got one … Read more
I was watching the online web cast of Hillsdale College’s commemoration of the Kirby Center (on Constitution Day) in Washington DC, and Dr. Charles Kessler of Claremont McKenna College. Dr. Kessler is a constitutional scholar and early on in his speech he makes the following observation about the current clash between the government and the people, and the rise of the Tea Party
‘Either the government will have to kneel to the people….or the people will have to kneel to the government.’
We should think about that because Dr. Kessler is correct.
There are very few people who still believe the House will not flip–it is mostly a matter of how many seats. But the people who will make this shift possible are not entirely enamored of Boehner who is a career politician and whom many suspect will sell them out to make deals if given the opportunity. If the latter is accurate, given the odds that the new wave of Republicans will be less inclined to make deals, Boehner is the best hope Obama has, given a bad situation, of having any leverage whatsoever with that caucus.
I have hypothesized, not all tongue in cheek, that the Obama administration is doing everything it can think of to start some kind of public unrest to justify more government infringement of some kind, preferably before the November elections. And to be honest, it’s far fetched, and even wild speculation, but why does this guy … Read more
I’ve lost track. Is this health care lie number 76 or 176? And how do the boobs at Boo Hoo Hamphsire feel now that the individual mandate rules and fines written into the Health Care bill are being defended by their glorious leader and his Depatment of Injustice as not just a tax, but a … Read more
In a recent email to supporters Katrina Swett puts a new spin on the thousand pound gorilla in the room. The gorilla is the economy and K-Swett appears to have looked to the east for inspiration. She also spelled the word “lose” wrong. Figure out where yourself I have a blog to write.
The new turn of phrase, and we could be seeing this rebranding from all the debt-o-crats in the very near future because they to spin things, is to ‘rebalance the economy.’ “Rebalance the economy?” (As in less government more freedom?) Not exactly. In Ms. Swett’s application she would like to rebalance the economy so that it works for us not just big corporations. Oh, see it’s those big corporations again.
Funny thing but this is exactly how the UK’s liberal democrats are using it. They’ve had this plan to use the government to rebalance the relationship between the people and small and big business in the hope that quaint little shops will compete better and who knows, perhaps even sprout up like mushrooms on Britain’s debt ridden ass. The means of such fairness appear to be to tax the big shops more. Rebalancing ala Obama’s spread the wealth around a bit?
Courtesy of Politico via NH Watchdog-apparently Mr. Obama is now blaming people for things that never happened in the past that he never even suggested. In an interview with Politico, the president said: “I think it’s fair to say, if six months ago, before this spill had happened, I had gone up to Congress and … Read more
