On Friday’s Political Punch, it was reported that Vice President Biden Predicts Massive Job Growth in Coming Months: Usually the Obama administration downplays expectations for job growth, but apparently Vice President Joe Biden didn’t get the memo – or he did, but just blew it off. Well, it wouldn’t be the first time our loquacious [...]

Yes, indeed, those were the words that came out of Barack Obama’s mouth last night at a Democratic Fundraiser in Miami, FL. Well, after he said they “amused” him. They “amuse” him?? Considering the Tea Party movement has higher poll numbers than Obama, their momentum should concern him. But that’s not how The arrogant One [...]

Who’s afraid of a little Tea Party? Everyone, fortunately. So says Kevin O’Brien of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, who correctly points out that while Tea Partiers may lean conservative, they are filled with more anti-incumbent fever (for both sides) than anyone would care to admit: Democratic officeholders should be afraid. Republican officeholders, too. For many [...]

Bumped up with and Update at the bottom of the post. Yes, Obama laid blame at the feet of just about everyone but himself last night during his SOTU. “The Buck Stops Here” moment was very short-lived, was it not? It’s Bush’s fault about the banks, even though Senator Obama voted to bail them out; [...]

In today’s LA Times, Peter Nicholas reports White House declines to disclose visits by health industry executives, “citing an argument used by the Bush administration, the Secret Service rejects a request from a watchdog group to list those who have visited the White House to discuss the healthcare overhaul.” Reporting from Washington — Invoking an [...]

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 all the [...]

Hell to the yes, he did. You want to guess about what he lied? The Census and ACORN workers, that is. Oh yeah – our fears come true:

Excuse me, but I have a huge problem with this: Americans are attending over 500 non-partisan tea parties throughout the country today, and Obama has no idea? Talk about out of touch.

Bumped up from March 4th. Why promote a story that’s nearly a month old? In a recent live chat, people were aghast by NYT columnist Paul Krugman’s remarks about Obama’s timid stimulus plan. Here’s why: An effective stimulus has to make the economy sizzle with a rapid-fire, mammoth infusion of cash into the economy-at-large, which [...]

That would be the Economic Stimulus bill, the one shoved through in such a hurry, no one had time to read it. No, they could not be bothered to take one WEEK to comb through the more than one THOUSAND pages of this bill. Maybe, just maybe, if they had, they would have noticed that [...]

Rep. Thaddeus McCotter slams AIG stimulus protections passed in partisan stimulus bill: Rep. McCotter comes from Michigan’s 11th Congressional District and is, yes, a Republican. Here’s his YouTube channel and the link to his House Web site. BELOW, REP. McCOTTER ASKS THE SAME QUESTIONS THAT I DID in my story below which, for short, I’ll [...]

I very much appreciate reading material written by people whom I perceive as having no agenda. I have tried to bring people like this (including Ray Dalio, Paul Keating, Bob Rodriguez, Steve Rehm, Kevin Doyle, Vaclav Klaus, and many others) to Sense on Cents because I firmly believe we all become more educated and informed [...]

I am watching the little ones outside my window swing like miniature Tarzans on the rings. I smile as I also worry about what awaits them when they are grown. I envy their obliviousness to the adult world, and at the same time feel anger for what this generation has heaped upon their destinies. The [...]

From Jake Tapper’s Political Punch, before THE speech by THE One last night: "President Obama has accomplished more in 30 days than any president in modern history," a senior White House official said this morning in a background briefing for TV reporters. Pointing to legislation on children’s health insurance and the "Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay [...]

I enjoyed this video on the stimulus package, and some of the pork projects contained within the over 1000 pages. Lisa Myers takes a look at some of the projects and speaks to some critics of the bill. .msnbcLinks {font-size:11px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999; margin-top: 5px; background: transparent; text-align: center; width: 425px;} .msnbcLinks a [...]
