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 [...]

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 argument [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 Act," and [...]

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.

“Schumer’s Second Thoughts (Or: This Is Why Reading Legislation Before Voting Is a Good Idea)“, Kathryn Jean Lopez for The Corner blog at the National Review:

Sen. Schumer has pledged to undo a provision included in the stimulus package that will make it nearly impossible for New York’s banks to hire foreign workers through [...]

(bumped up Tuesday morning with significant breaking news on the new Stanford scandal, and the D.C. insiders involved)
Update: After Bernie Madoff, it appears that the next largest fraudulent investment scheme is centered on an entity known as Stanford Financial. This company has offices in Houston, TX and operated an offshore bank in the Caribbean. While [...]
