Well, at least Obama is more popular than Bush! Right???

Uhhhh…. yeah.

A few days ago I made this post about a Guardian blogger mystified by Obama’s apparent lack of success so far.  He’s so smart, so gifted, how could it go so horribly, terribly wrong?

Basically I snickered and giggled, explaining that it’s gone wrong because Obama lucked into a position he’s simply not prepared for, [...]

Let's worry about Obama being a Liberal, not a Muslim

Posted on Flickr by Raaid.

I’ve seen some articles popping up about how inappropriate the White House Ramadan dinner is and how, of course we should expect this from a Muslim like Obama… only I seemed to remember this dinner going back for years.  So I decided to have a look through the internet time [...]

Give us your tired, your poor, your HIV infected....

statue_liberty6

This has been discussed for quite a while, and it has of course been controversial ever since its implementation, but thank goodness we’ve finally gotten around to lifting the ban on HIV infected tourists. 

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, as well as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention together announced the [...]

Obama frets about Yemen’s economy during radio address

yemen

In his weekly radio address, Obama talked about the Christmas Day terrorist attempt aboard Northwest Flight 253. 

An al-Qaida affiliate in Yemen apparently ordered the Christmas Day plot against a U.S. airliner, training and arming the 23-year-old Nigerian man accused in the failed bombing, President Barack Obama said Saturday.

In the address, the [...]

The fun of government micromanagement

Cash for Clunkers

And by fun, I don’t mean, “Ha ha” fun, I mean more like kick you in your crotch, steal your money and burn it in your face fun.

Numbers continue to roll in on the effectiveness of our government’s “Cash for Clunkers” program. 

You know, that program that was going to jump-start our crawling economy.  As we [...]

Palin in Milwaukee

palin

Palin showed up for a brief fund raiser for Wisconsin Right to Life Education Fund on Friday night. 

In a personal and passionate speech, Palin lauded the state’s anti-abortion movement for legislative advances achieved over time.

“We were told to sit down and shut up,” Palin said. “Wisconsin, you went rogue.”

She used President Barack Obama’s mantra of [...]

I’d be offended, but I guess I’m too stupid to know better

pinocchio1

Is it just me, or is there a very disturbing trend that is beginning to appear with this administration…

For me, it kind of began with the little girl in the audience of the town hall meeting Obama was at.  You know, the one who

asked President Obama a question at Tuesday’s town hall meeting in [...]

Obama flexes muscles against Iran

muscles01

It’s kind of funny to listen to the lefties talk all tough on the national stage.  They used to gripe about Bush being a cowboy, but there’s certainly something to be said about being in a position where you need to talk tough… and then having other nations believe you. 

Obama?  I’m not sure how much [...]

Read My Lips: One Term President

flushing_toilet

I honestly didn’t think it was possible to dismantle a presidency so quickly.  Especially one that was so popular, so charismatic, so full of undiluted awesome sauce. 

I understand he hasn’t had any real experience running anything.  Not a business, not a state, not a lemonade stand.  But for gosh sakes… he’s got advisers, doesn’t he???   [...]

G8 nations flex their muscles against Mother Nature

canute

 

When lefty goofs in suits get together, you can bet they’re going to agree to do something completely inconsequential, and then get all excited about it, to boot. 

At the G8 summit, which also included some additional 17 industrialized and developing nations, they laid down the law to that no-good wench, Mother Nature.  Who does she [...]
