This is rich. We know about Obama’s many, many czars. Mark Steyn believes Obama has another one, someone of whom you have heard, but who isn’t on the usual list,
Obama Makes Bush His Blame Czar. You know, he has a point - we’ve been hearing for months now “He [...]

You may recall that when Bush was president, it was like pulling teeth trying to find out just who had visited the White House. Let’s just say he dug in his heels a bit on releasing that information. Maybe it had something to do with Cheney’s “secret” Energy Meeting, who knows, but it [...]

That is a question I have asked myself time and time again since Obama took office on a number of issues, including expanding the Faith Based Initiatives, or my fave, the incredibly unConstitutional “Prolonged Detention” of American Citizens, holding them in custody indefinitely without charges.
Turns out I am not the only one who [...]

Tonight kicks off the World Series. The Phillies meet the Yankees at Yankee Stadium, with the game starting at 7:57 (why do they pick such weird times?). The game will be broadcast on Fox (sadly - that means having to listen to Tim McCarver and Joe Buck go on and on. No [...]

General McChrystal’s proposal for Afghanistan has been on Obama’s desk for almost two months now. And what is Obama doing about it? Well, he appears to be deciding on how to decide what his decision will be, but he’s not there yet. Nope, instead, he is throwing up some smokescreen [...]

I would like an answer to my question. How can someone be so determined to knock everyone else off the stage that he would spend nearly a billion dollars to do it, and when his waffling and doubling dealing in office don’t yield the desired result, blame President Bush and everyone else under the [...]

“We are spending enough of our kids’ money,” the letter said. “Our country needs to get back to following the teachings of Romans 13:8, which says we should ‘let no debt remain outstanding.’”
“In our view, shifting financial obligations of this magnitude to future generations is immoral, unacceptable and unsustainable,” the senators’ letter said.
“All of us [...]

You are not going to believe this video below. I don’t care what your political persuasion is, this should ring alarm bills, raise red flags, and generally cause major concern.
If this isn’t indoctrination, I don’t know what is:

Yes, more numbers to report to you you today. “Tens of Thousands” is the phrase the Washington Post and The New York Times used to describe the numbers of people marching on Washington yesterday, voicing their concerns over the rampant spending by Congress. “Tens of thousands” has apparently become a euphemism for 1.2 [...]

ABC’s Jake Tapper reported last night that the President’s Political Arm Follows His Lead in Drumming Up Support for Health Care Reform Push — by Criticizing Media.
In his August 20, 2009, meeting with supporters at the Democratic National Committee and its “Organizing for America” (OFA) arm – formerly the “Obama for America” campaign – President [...]

After seeing this article the other day, Bush’s Search Policy For Travelers Is Kept; Obama Officials Say Oversight Will Grow, I felt compelled to share some helpful suggestions when you are traveling into the USA: carry some change to make phone calls, bring some paper and a pen to be able to write a letters/documents, [...]

The other day, I saw a post by Greg Palast, one he originally wrote for Huffington Post. When you read it, you will see why that is kind of funny. I wonder how they responded to it over there? I’m not about to go there and give them the traffic to find [...]

I saw this excellent piece by Jay Ambrose in my local paper recently, “Seeing Through Obama’s Promise Of Transparency.” In the article, Mr. Ambrose lays out a number of ways in which Obama has reneged on being “transparent”:
Transparency, said President Barack Obama in a memo not long after he took the oath of office, [...]

Normally I would never quote Frank Rich. Endless copy excoriating Hillary Clinton in favor of Barack Obama during the primaries rendered his columns unreadable.

You know that during the Campaign, I said a number of times that Obama was the REAL Bush II, not Clinton, and not McCain (for instance, here, here, and here). Many of us saw that writing on the wall as one similarity after another came out.
Well, here is another one: Signing Statements. Yes, the [...]

Ted Van Dyk’s article in today’s WSJ, Obama Needs to ‘Reset’ His Presidency cautions that Obama must take a time out and find “a reset button for domestic policy.” Interesting that he uses the words “time out” – something one would tell a misbehaving child. Surely, the President’s reckless spending and use of [...]

Tina Brown, Editor-in-Chief of The Daily Beast, in her article Obama’s Other Wife, postulates that Hillary is a “brilliant policy wonk,” caring more about the “substance of work than the trappings,” yet the very title of her piece is insulting, indicating Secretary Clinton has completely sublimated herself to the President. At the same time, [...]
