This is rich. We know about Obama’s many, many czars. Mark Steyn believes Obama has another one, someone of whom you have heard, but who isn’t on the usual list,
Obama Makes Bush His Blame Czar. You know, he has a point - we’ve been hearing for months now “He [...]

Most of us know that there are many positions, like being an ambassador to, say France and Monaco, is often a payback for the person giving tons of money to the candidate. Well, guess what? Not only is Obama doing just that, but the man who claimed to bring “change to Washington” has [...]

MSNBC carried a blip of President Obama speaking in New York at a fundraiser. Sadly, the President is up to his old tricks. Remember when he was at a hoity-toity fundraiser in San Francisco and complained of Pennsylvania voters “clinging to God and guns”? That didn’t go over so well. [...]

With Fox News against the White House attempt to censor the cable network. Check that, to shut DOWN the network. I am assuming that, by now, you have heard of the concentrated attacks on the Fox News Network by Administration officials, and the president himself. Larry [...]

Thus proclaims the White House Communications Director, Anita Dunn. Of course, many of us actually knew this already, or strongly suspected that was the case. How nice to have someone in Obama’s administration, someone pretty high up,confirm it:
President Obama’s presidential campaign focused on “making” the news media cover certain issues while rarely communicating [...]

Whatever one may think of Rush Limbaugh, the controversy surrounding his attempts to participate in a consortium buying the Rams has made for some strange bedfellows. Apparently Limbaugh was falsely accused of making racist statements he did not make. Juan Williams of FOX News stood up for the [...]

One just has to wonder what prompted the child in the video below to ask Obama the question he did. Maybe people in his household were decrying the lack of it, or maybe this child was picking up on the animosity in the air, or maybe he just wanted to share the good news [...]

I would like an answer to my question. How can someone be so determined to knock everyone else off the stage that he would spend nearly a billion dollars to do it, and when his waffling and doubling dealing in office don’t yield the desired result, blame President Bush and everyone else under the [...]

“We are held hostage at any given moment by health insurance companies that deny coverage or drop coverage or charge fees that people can’t afford,” Obama said in August.
And on whitehouse.gov, the Administration promises more stability and security with health care reform, and points out that 20,000 people were denied treatment, to save money:

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 [...]

I know, I’m a little late to the party writing about Rio winning the 2016 Olympics, but it isn’t for lack of interest. Not at all - rather, I have been amused by some stories I have seen on the IOC decision. To say it took some people by surprise (that is, the [...]

I stumbled upon the latest Reality Check brought to you by WhiteHouse.gov. Apparently the Obama administration is still obsessing over FOX news, this time targeting Glenn Beck. They took Beck to task, providing the “REALITY” to his “RHETORIC”. I provide the *ACTUAL REALITY*.
What topic do they take issue with? His comments on Afghanistan? Health Care? [...]

In Newsweek, Howard Fineman opines about The Limits of Charisma. When sycophants like Fineman say “Mr. President, please stay off TV” and are worried enough to warn the President that it’s time to fish or cut bait, we are all in hot water.
My fellow writers and I have posted many stories these last [...]

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, [...]

I came across an article the other day, and was really taken by it, especially as it came out in the midst of the undercover videos by James O’Keefe, four in total thus far, with more to come, which have gone far in exposing the underside of ACORN. O’Keefe’s staggering videos can be found [...]

Yes, more numbers to report to you you today. “Tens of Thousands” is the phrase the Washington Post and The New York Times used to describe the numbers of people marching on Washington yesterday, voicing their concerns over the rampant spending by Congress. “Tens of thousands” has apparently become a euphemism for 1.2 [...]

People are all a twitter because Joe Wilson yelled out *You Lie* last night when Obama said illegal immigrants would not be covered under his plan.
But, in the very same speech, just seconds prior, Obama accuses Sarah Palin and other Republicans (and the media) of LYING.

Camille Paglia’s article in Salon, Too late for Obama to turn it around? is a scathing assessment which drips disappointment and dare I say it, a sense of betrayal. Most surprising is that eight months after Obama’s inauguration, this accomplished writer has arrived at the same place most of us were 18 months ago [...]

All this talk about Obama speaking to the *shoochildren* got me thinking about the school system. Can’t one look at the education system when pondering what a government run health care program would look like?
Like health care, the US spends more than any other country on education (except Switzerland). And like health care, we are [...]

I know, I know. Enough all ready with the clunker stuff. But these clunker programs are such clear and convincing examples of how politically driven and dysfunctional our government has become that I can’t seem to help myself.
And could anything says it better than this cartoon?
