I’m experiencing deja vu: Obama’s education plan
I’m not kidding. It looks like Obama is proposing to spend $5 billion on the exact same “leave no child behind” type of federal legislation pushed through Congress eight years ago.

Read MoreConnecticut to Dodd …. we don’t hate you, we just won’t vote for you
The latest Quinnipiac Poll numbers came out today and they show Dodd falling farther behind Rob Simmons in a head to head match up …. but … his negatives aren’t as negative. Connecticut Sen.

Gosh, that was terrible. A sitting vice president – with close ties to the oil community – having the gaul to meet with oil and other energy executives in private to discuss the energy crisis. Democrats often pointed to Vice President Cheney’s meetings as part of the problem, promising transparency in the future. Well as…
Read MoreSymptom of the Disease: Obama not familiar with pending health care legislation – Update: Video Added
Continuing with our Symptom of the Disease series, we’ve got President Obama admitting that he is not familiar with what is included in the current version of the House health care legislation.
