Obamanation
Amid political battles locally and race scandals nationally, let’s not lose sight of the newly immune global-government police force operating within the United States. A recent column by Andrew McCarthy is must-reading on the topic, as he explains why the Obama administration is disinclined to explain why the president would quietly remove protections of the…
Charles Gasparino explains the mechanics of our jobless economic recovery: The issue is strikingly similar to what the banks face. As we’re all aware, the banks are making big money and waiting to pay out bonuses in the coming days. But the cash isn’t coming from lending the money out. Instead, the banks are cutting…
Andrew McCarthy’s takedown of Attorney General Eric Holder is relevant for a number of topical reasons — the war on terror, generally, the strategy of treating the war like a criminal action, the decision to give terrorist masterminds access to the American civil courts, even as an international police organizations are freed from accountability. On…
Now this is interesting: Perhaps the greatest measure of Obama’s declining support is that just 50% of voters now say they prefer having him as President to George W. Bush, with 44% saying they’d rather have his predecessor. Given the horrendous approval ratings Bush showed during his final term that’s somewhat of a surprise and…
Real men don’t whine and make excuses. And they don’t dither, either. ADDENDUM #1: My first comment in the Comments section: Dithering on Afghanistan while American soldiers die. Meeting multiple times with Andy Stern of SEIU while not having time to decide on Afghanistan. Calling Afghanistan the important war in March before it wasn’t the…
Thomas Sowell pauses for a moment of disbelief at the conversation in America: Just one year ago, would you have believed that an unelected government official, not even a Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate but simply one of the many “czars” appointed by the President, could arbitrarily cut the pay of executives in private…
Something’s been gnawing at me since Andrew posted video of Congressman Patrick Kennedy proving once again why we should all hope his handlers keep him well away from any real power, and it took a revistation of Ed Achorn’s concern about the Obama administration’s jihad against Fox News to jar the pest loose. Here’s Achorn:…
The ideas being expressed about Obama’s Nobel Prize win around Marc’s office water cooler are also finding voice around my construction site — where the crew had an affiliative reason to tune into NPR for the morning news, today. The consensus (which, admittedly, I had no small role in developing) is that the Nobel Peace…
One could argue that having Yassar Arafat awarded the Nobel Peace Prize was the true “Jump the Shark” moment for the Nobel Peace Prize…or even that Al Gore winning for a Power Point presentation on Global Warming Climate Change. But at least Arafat had been involved in something–no matter how disingenuously–that looked like a peace…
Alright, the title of the post is a bit dramatic, but there’s an interesting tidbit obscured under the walk-on-by headline of “Brown grad hired” in today’s Political Scene: The Democratic National Committee has announced the hiring of recent Brown graduate Emilie Aries to lead the Rhode Island chapter of an Obama campaign off-shoot organization called…
