Don’t read the bill, just vote!
When Congress earlier this year passed the Stimulus legislation that, among other things, allowed our tax dollars to be used to pay bonuses for executives of the failed AIG, Americans were outraged. Most in Congress proclaimed surprise at this provision of the bill, explaining that they had absolutely no idea that the legislation included such language. Then, the…
Read MoreChicago 2016 Olympics – in the bag?
Who knows, but some are speculating President Obama’s decision to be present in Copenhagen for the presentation to the Olympic Committee means Chicago has unofficially gotten the nod for Summer 2016. I agree.
Read MoreSarkozy calls out Obama on Iran
This one line has been garnering much deserved attention today. We spent a good bit of time on this on Friday. As my son questioned: “Is it a good thing when the president of France takes a tougher stance on Iran than the president of the United States?” This took place on Sept. 24, at…
Read MoreAdding illegals to the Democrat’s health care plans
Well at least they’re honest about it. More importantly, had the American people not spoken up … this is where they most assuredly would go. At this point I think its just politicking, since I am not sure this has any chance of getting through … but then again. They are pretty “waskally wabbits” when…
Read MoreSunday funny
At least he didn’t say … SHE isn’t getting any younger. Bill on Hillary’s chances of running for President in 2012 or 16. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le5EUWpU8Wg Hey, it’s not like the former President was in Las Vegas for his birthday while his wife was sweating in the Congo or something.
Read MoreShameful slobbering member of the media
Your funny for the week. It’s actually from Thursday’s CNN Situation Room, but timeless. Obama at the UN … almost as if he were President of the world. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gjl_3EtVj0U I am sure this kind of media adoration will end at some point and we can get down to governing and watching the governors … but it…
Read MoreUnemployment insurance: Who pays?
The House voted this week to extend unemployment benefits another 13 weeks. If approved by the Senate, it would be the fourth time Congress has extended federal jobless benefits since the recession began in December 2007. The latest 13-week extension would be available to residents in the 25 states that have had an average jobless…
Read MoreSecretary Gates: I will sit on McChrystal’s report until its appropriate Update: More video
It’s a pretty good exchange between George Stephanopoulos and Defense Secretary Robert Gates. The subject is General McChrystal’s Afghan memorandum on the need for 40,000 additional troops or they will fail. Gates never wavers. I will wait to pass the memo on until the President is ready. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOJNj-6ibEs George has the stronger point I think.…
Read MoreYou can keep your insurance – Part 52
The young president at the CBC Phoenix Awards. It was pretty much a pandering speech filled with plenty of us and against them rhetoric. At one point he offers economic hope to young African Americans by promising to sick AG Eric Holder on companies. I am not sure EEOC is the main reason behind decaying…
Read MoreTold you so: Obama will miss Guantanamo deadline Update: Video
No plan … it was not going to happen. They are trying to pay off every country possible to hand off terrorists currently housed at Camp Delta in Guantanamo Bay. I knew it. You knew it. President Obama will miss his self-defined deadline to close the facility.
