For those of you who thought Governor Sarah Palin would go quietly into that good night, think again. Her Op-Ed in today’s Washington Post strikes directly at the heart of President Obama’s cap and trade plans. She misses no opportunity to point out that his recovery plans are not exactly helping those in [...]

Susan’s Notes: Well!!! It’s happened, after all the conjecture the past few days speculating if the two men would meet. Today, they shook hands. From the April 18, 2009 Times UK, “President Obama in historic handshake with Hugo Chavez of Venezuela“:
All the conjecture and today’s meeting reminded me of Truthteller’s excellent piece on [...]

NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices plunged over $10 a barrel Monday as a U.S. financial bailout plan failed to win legislative approval, increasing fears tat a prolonged economic downturn that could sharply curtail energy demand.

Earlier today, Byron York, at his National Review blog, The Corner, reported on his assessment of Gov. Sarah Palin’s abilities as a debater, based on her performance during Alaska’s 2006 gubernatorial Republican primary race. York found a two-year-old video at C-Span of Sarah Palin debating the other two GOP primary candidates, Frank Murkowski, the incumbent [...]

Last month, Barack Obama rejected the idea of tapping into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as a way to hopefully offset high gas prices for consumers.
What a difference a month makes. Right on the heels of Obama’s dead fish flop on drilling off the coast of FL (even Jeb didn’t want to do this) comes [...]

In June, presidential candidate Barack Obama said that he opposed drilling for oil off the U.S. coastline, explaining that 1) it would take 10 years to produce any oil at all, and 2) that said oil would not do much to lower gas prices anyway because our nation consumes such a high percentage of the [...]

I’m laughing so hard I am practically crying here. What on earth is wrong with Barack Obama? Is he a simpleton? Is he unable to grasp complex problems? Or is it just that he shouldn’t be allowed to speak without a teleprompter?
As you might recall, Manchild Barack Obama has already told us that as President he [...]

Obama continues his Master of the Universe tour,today landing in Germany. He has a big ol’ speech planned to wow them in Germany, and to get their votes. Oh, wait - they can’t vote for him! No matter, he is bound and determined that he will get massive support there. He even went so far [...]

So these must be the “Green Jobs” Barack Obama is thinking about. A couple of hundred thousand consultants. Wonderful. It’s a great way to hire and boost the income of friends and family though. That doesn’t include You, suckers. Just so you know.
While most Americans find that what once was their disposable income is now [...]

ELECTABILITY
I want a Democrat in the White House. At the Convention, the sole job of the delegates will be to select the person who is electable in November.
That person is Hillary Clinton. During the [...]

Democrats will lose in November if we nominate Obama. The GOP is ready, and they have four ads on Obama waiting in the queue. Consider this an open thread on Obama’s unelectability.

Last week, economist Paul Krugman made it very clear that he finds John McCain’s gas tax holiday proposal potentially harmful. Krugman also made very clear that he doesn’t like Hillary Clinton’s counter-proposal but considers it harmless.
That said, Krugman reportedly heard about (but has not seen) a negative Obama ad that falsely uses Krugman’s criticism of [...]

As everyone knows, we are in a recession. The price of food has gone up dramatically. In fact there is a world wide shortage of food. Home sales are at historic lows. Foreclosures have skyrocketed. Jobs are being lost at an extraordinary rate. And the [...]

As the campaign for the nomination heads into the final days before North Carolina and Indiana, both campaigns are attempting to control the narrative prior to the voting. Obama is failing miserably. The Clinton campaign so fully controls the narrative now that it’s virtually a presidency-in-waiting, with bully pulpit and podium to boot (more [...]

Sen. Barack Obama is chastising Hillary Clinton and John McCain for supporting a gas-tax holiday. McCain’s proposal is a straight lifting of the tax. Hillary’s proposal would include a windfall-profits tax on oil companies, meaning that oil companies would in theory pay for the gas-tax holiday. Of course, oil companies could just raise prices to [...]

Last quarter, Exxon listed the highest quarterly profits in U.S. corporate history ($11.66 billion), as well as record-high annual profits of $40.66 billion in 2007.
