People need to come to grips with the hard (and stunning) math – President Obama is planning to bankrupt this country even though he is also raising taxes like crazy. Too many Obama supporters think they are getting an income tax cut and are immune from paying more taxes because of ‘promises’ made by Obama. […]

There are some voices of sanity left in Washington DC, and thankfully this voice is coming from the conservative side: House Republicans are calling for the economic stimulus package passed in February to be rescinded starting in 2010 as part of their alternative to President Obama’s budget blueprint. After being criticized last week for lacking […]

Update: More details can be found here: Missiles believed to have been fired from a US drone struck a remote compound linked to Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud today – the day after he threatened to attack Washington and took responsibility for the assault on a police training camp in Pakistan. Neither Mr Mehsud or one […]

The one national GOP personality to rally record crowds (and who drew the largest TV audience for any national debate for all time) is being marginalized by those who have failed to succeed nationally: Congressional Republicans decided Tuesday to ditch the former GOP vice presidential nominee in favor of the former House speaker for the […]

Friday is the big day for the national unemployment update, but we get a hint today that it will not be good news: Private employers cut jobs by a record 742,000 in March versus a 706,000 revised cut in February that was originally reported at 697,000 jobs, said ADP, which has been carrying out the […]

April Fool’s Day joke? Sadly not. I don’t know what it is that keeps America behind our new young President, but much of it has to do with how badly the handwringing far right has dominated the conservative movement’s message. And this domination is simply repulsing, not attracting, America. Obama’s poll numbers have shrunk a […]

When we look back on the administration of President Obama we will find a duplicitous man in everything he said. He will not be “hope and change” but the epitome of the two faced politician who says one thing and does another. His record so far is pretty damn stunning. Candidate Obama railed against NSA-FISA […]

Contrary to the handwringing on the right about government take overs the American public seem to be just fine with President Obama’s demand that failed managers leave companies being bailed out (according to Rasmussen 59% support this, 17% opposed). In fact, as the right rails they are losing the ground they had gained up to […]

Earlier I posted on the missteps of the far right in building a coalition of opposition to the far left lurch of the Democrats in the White House and Congress, but whatever is in the water in DC has the place just running amok. Word is out that Obama and the Dems are now dictating […]

It seems the Keystone Kops of DC right now include a fair contingent of the far right GOP, who are once again insulting potential allies, offering up stupidly vague platitudes and simply continuing the same crap that led them into the political wilderness of the fringes and out of power. Example 1: The Obama administration […]
