When “Change Means More Of The Same, Or Just Change »

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 [...]

Jake Tapper, And The Press Pool, Stand Together »

(Bumped up Saturday a.m. from Friday afternoon.)
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 [...]

Feeling The Love? »

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 [...]

Pulling “Back The Curtain On 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 [...]

It Is Hard Out There For A (ACORN) Pimp…**UPDATED** »

Surprise, surprise - the Senate has FINALLY grown a backbone, and voted 83-7 (and this is not a big surprise - both senators from IL voted against this measure, as well as Hillary Clinton’s replacement - a disappointment) to cut off Housing funds to ACORN. It took the exposure of how ACORN works [...]

How Rahm Is Reviving the GOP »

Editor: This op-ed was first published at The Daily Beast and is reprinted with the express permission of John Batchelor.
Suddenly the disgraced and demoralized Republican Congress has an unearned future, thanks to the superhuman clumsiness of a man who has made himself indispensable to the Obama administration and insufferable to the Democratic Congress, chief of [...]

Obama Lets the Cat Out of the Bag »

Yesterday President Obama stuck his foot in it. It was a gaffe worthy of Vice President Biden! But let your mind not be troubled. I don’t think he noticed. He seems to struggle with the first half of his message, but delivers big at the end.
H/T to Hot Air [...]

Needed: A Vice Presidential Seal »

It’s time to slap an official seal on our Vice President’s yapper. This otherwise likeable guy is also a one-man blooper extravaganza.
Now he’s done it again. But this time it isn’t as laughoffable as asking a man in the wheelchair to stand up and take a bow. Or as whacky as telling [...]

A Different Kind Of Happy Hour **Open Thread** »

There’s been a whole lot in the news of late about the “Happy Hour Heard ‘Round The World.” You know the one - Sgt. Crowley, Prof. Henry Gates, President Obama, and the party-crashed Joe Biden, sitting down like some regular Joes, just having a brew. Oh, yeah, just hanging out, tossing back a [...]

Who Wants Hillary to “Take Off Her Burqa?” »

Tina Brown, Editor-in-Chief of The Daily Beast, in her article Obama’s Other Wife, postulates that Hillary is a “brilliant policy wonk,” caring more about the “substance of work than the trappings,” yet the very title of her piece is insulting, indicating Secretary Clinton has completely sublimated herself to the President. At the same time, [...]

It Was Just A Matter Of Time…**UPDATED** »

Before Obama majorly embarrassed Secretary Clinton. Oh, many of us knew this was coming - and it has happened on a smaller scale here and there (except during the Primaries in which Mr. Ditto copied almost ALL of her policy positions). Now, it is on the big stage, about a big issue: Iran. [...]

The President Slams His Sycophants, His Policies and His Staff at Dinner »

President Obama spoke at the TV and Radio Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday, where some of his jokes reflected a greater attachment to truth than he finds necessary in any of his speeches or press conferences. Although, like his predecessor, who chose to joke about looking for WMDs under the podium when delivering a speech, [...]

“everyone guessed wrong” »

On Sunday’s Meet the Press Joe Biden defended the $787 billion economic stimulus spending bill pushed through Congress, but said that “everyone guessed wrong” on the impact it would have.

Bill Maher Complains About Obama – Chicken Little, The Sky Has Truly Fallen [Updated with Video] »

Much as I hate giving Bill Maher press, I just can’t help myself. His article, Enough with the Obamathon, appearing in the Friday LA Times, lets us share our first up close and personal glimpse of Mr. Maher’s head exploding as he exhibits growing irritation with his messiah…:
President Obama should just join the cast [...]

Freedom, Prisons, And Human Rights »

I seem to be on a roll with the Prison and Freedom thing, so I will just continue. Roxanna Saberi is not the only political prisoner currently, by far. And thank heavens she has since been released. One has been imprisoned for years now, the Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Aung San [...]

Obama’s “First 100 Days” Report Card - Abject Failure »

From my blog, “GOPMom.”
The irony of the Prez spending his day at a Town Hall Meeting in Missouri (after a quick trip on Air Force One, of course) while the CDC has just confirmed the first death in the US of Swine Flu cannot be overlooked. Why wouldn’t his slipping poll ratings be the [...]

Biden’s Headed For the Woodshed »

Joe’s off the reservation again! Pat Buchanan predicts that Joe Biden will be in the White House woodshed today. I’d pay to see that! UPDATE: Now the White House is claiming that Biden was referring solely to people who don’t feel well. Pathetic.
NBC NY: “Vice president Joe Biden said today he would tell [...]

The First 100 Days: expect not, get not »

An article posted yesterday in The Huffington Post proclaiming Obama Gets Gender Right in First 100 Days has many women seeing red.
Here’s the author, C. Nicole Mason’s arguments:
Obama lifted the global gag rule
The first piece of legislation he signed into to law as President was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act
Obama’s Cabinet is also [...]

Deep Thoughts … From Joe Biden »

Biden predicted Obama’s “genius”
President “a cross between Denzel Washington and Franklin Roosevelt”
Amusingly enough, after Biden got buried by a “plagiarism row,” and had to drop out of the 1988 presidential race when he “borrowed” heavily from Lord Neil Kinnock’s speech, the two men became pals. Lord Kinnock swears that, in 2007, Joe Biden predicted [...]

Marketwatch: Cowboy Hat Is the Story »

Noticeably detached Interior Secretary Ken Salazar in a cowboy hat facing a San Francisco chamber of California-based greens is the story, not the debate.  The Obama administration has already lost the argument for additional off-shore drilling.
