I wrote earlier that I believe the Obama Administration’s wanton destruction of our economy was the result of simple inexperience or incompetence rather than malice. Tomorrow’s Sydney Morning Herald seems to support that conclusion: When Barack Obama announced his champion to rescue the world from economic ruin, it was the first time most Americans had […]

The suit alleges that Helen Jones-Kelley, Fred Williams and Doug Thompson, the three highest ranking employees of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services violated Mr. Wurzelbacher’s constitutional rights by illegally […]
Is Obama Intentionally Destroying Our Economy???
Never assume malice where incompetence will suffice. Over the last few days I’ve been hearing various theories that essentially say… The Obama administration is deliberately damaging the economy and gutting the stock market on the theory that doing so will make it easier for them to argue “the free market has failed” and pave the […]
Spam Bots and a New Community
I mentioned in an earlier post that I’d been working on a few things behind the scenes… Over the last couple of weeks this site has been inundated by spam bots. In fact the number of spam comments has more than doubled over the last month. For the most part this blog has weathered the […]
Jim Cramer Responds to White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs
First it was Rush Limbaugh and then Rick Santelli now it’s Jim Cramer who seems to be at the top the White House’s “enemies list”. While I’m no fan of Jim Cramer and his often over the top rants he’s right on the mark with his criticism of Pres. Obama’s agenda: This is an agenda […]
Evan Bayh: Senate Should Reject $410 Billion Omnibus Appropriations Bill
Some of you may have noticed this page has been rather quite for the last couple of days while I’ve been working on a few things behind the scenes. Anyway let’s get back to it shall we… Democratic Senator Evan Bayh had an interesting Op Ed in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal that I’d suggest reading […]
Godspeed Paul
One of great American voices signed off yesterday when broadcasting pioneer Paul Harvey passed away at age 90. CHICAGO (Reuters) – Paul Harvey, who captivated millions of radio listeners daily with his staccato delivery, firmly set opinions and old-fashioned outlook, died on Saturday at the age of 90, ABC News said.

Larry Kudlow: Obama Declares War on Investors, Entrepreneurs, Businesses, And More
In hard hitting piece post yesterday on CNBC.com veteran economist Larry Kudow takes President Barack Obama to task over his economic policies: Let me be very clear on the economics of President Obama’s State of the Union speech and his budget. He is declaring war on investors, entrepreneurs, small businesses, large corporations, and private-equity and […]
A National Crisis???
Things have been a little hectic over the last few days so I didn’t have time to get to a couple of articles I had bookmarked. One of the things that seems to be getting lost in all the hysteria about the Mortgage crisis is that bluk of the problem are concentrated in 4 or […]
Let’s Get This Tea Party Started
Today is National Tea Party Day… Taxpayers all over the country are taking to the streets to protest out of control government spending and fiscal irresponsibility. Michelle Malkin has the details on protest times and locations. Let’s hope our elected leaders get the message.
Barack Obama’s 2% Illusion
From the Wall Street Journal: President Obama has laid out the most ambitious and expensive domestic agenda since LBJ, and now all he has to do is figure out how to pay for it. On Tuesday, he left the impression that we need merely end “tax breaks for the wealthiest 2% of Americans,” and he […]
Barney Frank: This Week’s Biggest Idiot on Capitol Hill
From CNSNews.com: Mindless Republicans are heeding the iron discipline of conservative talk radio hosts Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) told reporters after President Barack Obama’s address to the nation on Tuesday. “I don’t think we found any Republican minds today,” Frank told a reporter minutes after the president had […]
It’s Not Just Rick Santelli
White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs would like us to believe that Rick Santelli is an isolated crank who doesn’t know what he’s talking about… As Joel Stein points out he’s not: A lot of optimistic people bought houses near the historic height of the market, say November 2005, for absurdly high prices, say $1.12 million, […]
Boehner: ‘Era of Big Government’ Is Back
From The Hill (emphasis mine): Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) declared a return to “the era of big government” the day after President Obama’s first formal address to Congress. “From everything I’ve seen, it looks like the era of big government spending is back,” he told reporters at a lunch convened by the Christian Science […]
CNBC’s Rick Santelli Responds to White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs
CNBC’s Rick Santelli seems to have struck a nerve with his impassioned rant against Pres. Obama’s home mortgage bailout plan. To be honest I’m not at all surprised, there seems to be disconnect between those inside the beltway and those outside. I tend to think most Americans instinctively don’t like the idea of the government […]
