Or so it seems since Obama, despite all of the Town Halls, all of the polls (here’s one), the Tea Party protests, all of it, is going on with his huge push for his Healthcare bill, and it is most definitely his.
Even in the face of mounting opposition within his own party, and [...]

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 [...]

Oh, boy. This doesn’t look good for ACORN, not that much does these days. You may recall that Dale Rathke, one of the two founders of ACORN, had embezzled $1 million dollars, according to this NY Times article. That became the widely accepted amount, not that that embezzlement stopped our government from [...]

Well, it’s about damn time – again. Yes, Rep. Conyers has finally been persuaded – again – to investigate ACORN. Oh, yes, all the recent brouhaha about ACORN, all of the exposure from the faux pimp and prostitute, have FINALLY gotten the House Judiciary Chairman to get off his duff, and investigate ACORN, [...]

No doubt, you know there are plans afoot by Obama and Congress to extend health care benefits to all. It raises that sticky question of just how these costs will be covered. And when I say costs, I mean at least one TRILLION dollars, though I have seen estimates that are higher. [...]

That’s what the Germans seem to think of Secretary Clinton, anyway. It seems they are asking her to help deal with the GM mess as it relates to them, according to this article (H/T to Ani for alerting me to this). Why, you might ask? Because it affects them, too, in a big [...]

Ford passed Toyota to become the No. 2 car seller in the U.S. in April of this year.
See the UPDATE at end of story.

Ford, the American carmaker most likely to survive the auto implosion without going bankrupt or taking government aid, deserves credit [...]

Did you catch this story on Bret Baier’s “Special Report”? It gives me the creeps that these unions can resort to such tactics. They might as well hold a gun to these workers’ heads; it’d sure be faster than wearing them down by stalking them. It’s like the rough-’em-up tactics of the Hoffa days (and [...]

A lot. One thing we learned from the Bush Administration – make up a name for a bill or act that is diametrically opposite of what the act wil actually do. Then, talk it up!
I am referring to the Employee Free Choice Act, the brainchild of the large unions in this country, who [...]

[Truthteller's piece is terrific. I've added the latest video from the guys at the Nose On Your Face at the end. I think it is a dandy companion for this piece.]
Barack Obama on Thursday stated the following:

Did you catch Barack’s press conference? All the pundits were shocked he didn’t name a Secretary of the Treasury. They assumed that’d be the first thing he’d do. But no, he’s dishing up slop to the piggies in the unions and car industry. Oy.
I am a firm believer in unions. But, [...]

This is from “LaborPains.org.” Mon AM Update: I am told by a reliable source that the AFL-CIO fully expected Obama to appear in person. The AFL-CIO has never been treated this way, ever, by a presidential candidate. Now back to the original blog post:
The title tells the story:
Stood Up and Hung Up

Barack Obama’s stealth socialism can be defined by this term, which Obama uses frequently, “economic justice” Simply put it is redistribution of wealth and a euphemism for socialism. Obama discusses these words in term like “restoring fairness to the economy”, according to Investor’s Business Daily which is a code word for “soaking” the “rich”-which he [...]

All of a sudden, the American Federation of Teachers seems to have decided it is in their best interest to rise to the defense of Obama and his education advisor Linda Darling-Hammond. In particular, they do not want anyone looking too closely at the long-standing relationship between Bill Ayers and their preferred presidential candidate, Senator [...]
