President Barack “I’m a warrior for the middle class” Obama may talk the talk, but his lifestyle is rather atypical of how 99.9% of the middle class lives. There are the swelling numbers of unemployed now homeless, including military veterans. Now students are joining the ranks of the homeless. There is no government funding for [...]

As some of you know, here in South Carolina, we have been under siege by the NLRB, which is attacking Boeing for moving its DreamLiner series to North Charleston. Since we already had the DreamLifter here, it wasn’t exactly an “out of the clear blue sky” kind of move. That hasn’t had an impact on [...]

Update below the fold. I am sure this will be a shock to you, but fully 20% of Obamacare waivers are in Nancy Pelosi’s district. (Okay, I cannot restrain myself – how much does it look like Obama is telling Nancy, “don’t you worry, sweetie, I will always love you” or something along those lines? [...]

I have often mentioned SEIU, the union co-founded by ACORN’s founder, Wade Rathke. That really should tell people as much as they need to know. Of course, there is more, though. SEIU’s recently resigned director, Andy Stern, has been a frequent visitor at the White House. And yes, SEIU helped to get Obama elected. The [...]

In normal times, Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis’ buffoonery would have garnered more critical public attention. But these are not normal times. These are the times of hope’n’change. So, Hilda’s inadequateness goes largely without comment as we try not to drown beneath the flood of bizarre goings-on within the Obama administration. But she’s doing her [...]

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 Then [...]

Amid the chorus of “nothing to see here, move along” flock of bloggers writing ho-hum responses to today’s Washington Post story, there are a few who are thinking deeper: Our TexasDarlin pointed out the favorable treatment the Obamas received compared to the “neglected slums” of their impoverished neighbors in unimaginably horrific “public” housing that Obama [...]

My reason for this principled decision is because I can’t support or work on behalf of a union that allows and [...]

It is, I believe, the faith in our fellow citizens as individuals and as people that lies at the heart of the liberal faith. – The Meaning of Liberalism John F. Kennedy The civil war now being waged in the Democratic Party gives us an opportunity to redefine liberalism and the Party itself. The sexism [...]

In “Barack Obama’s nouvelle vague,” Salon‘s Walter Shapiro interviews an Iowan who says, “‘[A]fter hearing Obama today, I’m in awe‘.” Shapiro himself says, “We know he’s a ‘hope monger’, but the rest of Obama’s unconventional message is elusive.” Most of Obama’s support comes from the very young, 40% from independents, and 5% from Republicans.
