In a rational world a President would honor these people as economic heroes who do far more than their “fair share.” This week the Obama campaign transitions from gay marriage to placing blame for the looming government debt crisis on the only people who are doing anything to alleviate it. He continues to insist that [...]
Guess who said the following from the Presidential campaign trail: He [opposing candidate] is spending an awful lot of time talking about me. You notice that? I haven’t seen an ad yet where he talks about what he’s going to do. And the reason is because he knows they don’t have any good answers, they [...]
The Obama campaign, in a frenzy of spin, is trying to persuade us that recent employment statistics signal economic improvement for which we should thank President Obama by renewing for four more years his project to “transform America” by expanding the power and dominance of government in our lives. At a campaign event following release [...]
The quarterly GDP report just published was disappointing, yet again. The economy grew a tepid 2.2% during the first quarter. This was down from an already weak 3% in the fourth quarter of 2011. We’re told by the political-media establishment that President Obama’s tsunami of deficit spending was a brilliant stroke that saved the economy. [...]
President Obama’s reelection campaign is largely an effort to influence people who don’t pay much attention to politics. If you visit sites like this one you are probably more interested and better informed than the Obama campaign’s target audience. The President’s call for tax increases on high income earners is a good example. It’s an [...]
The biggest government spending surge ever bought us the weakest jobs recovery in 80 years. After three months of moderately strong job growth the establishment media had been crowing that the economy was no longer an election issue, improving President Obama’s shot at a second term. But then the Labor Department released a disappointing jobs [...]
Since the President and the Democrats kicked off the healthcare debate in early 2009 the political left and the establishment media have sneered dismissively at those of us who insisted the Constitution did not authorize Congress or the Executive to assume the new powers in ObamaCare. We won’t know for sure until June, but based [...]
In at least a dozen speeches, press conferences and weekly addresses since the recent spike in gas prices President Obama bellowed the same scripted lines: There is no such thing as a quick fix to high gas prices. There is no silver bullet. Anyone who tells you otherwise is riding the political wave of the [...]
They popoed Champagne corks at Obama-2012 HQ and the media cheered. The Labor Department jobs report for February does look better than the grim statistics the Obama Administration first three years. Employers added 227,000 jobs in February. The January report was revised upward to 284,000, adding up to best two months since President Obama was [...]
Four years ago Candidate Obama preened before mobs of addled admirers as they chanted “yes we can!” Now President Obama says “we” can’t drill “our” way to lower gas prices. So then the voters should take charge and get “we” out of the way so oil explorers, drillers, pipeline operators and refiners can do their [...]
