Obama promise expires – Iraq and Afghanistan supplemental spending continues

By Steve McGough | April 9, 2009 |

Today, President Obama asked Congress for an additional $85 billion in supplemental funding for military and diplomatic efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. On Feb. 24, Obama stated that military spending would no longer be “hidden” within supplemental bills, it would be included in the regular budget request. Of course, the spending was never really “hidden”…

Connecticut universities get go-ahead from Obama to increase tuition

By Steve McGough | April 9, 2009 |

Of course, the tuition hike could have been much worse, but since University officials worked really hard to keep the increase from ballooning 15 percent or more, you’re only going to have to shell out an additional 5.5 percent.

You asked for it! Barney Frank vs Joel Pollack

By Jim Vicevich | April 8, 2009 |

Ok, OK … I have had enough. Here it is! Plus, Joel Pollack’s interview with Gretta Van Susteren last night. As I said two days ago, what is so admirable about this is the way, despite the ridicule from a sitting US Congressman, who by the way works for Mr Pollack, he continued to ask his question…

Department of Education school choice study supressed

By Steve McGough | April 7, 2009 |

Obama: Seeking Greater Moral Authority with … Iran?

By Jim Vicevich | April 3, 2009 |

Because you can never increase your moral standing too high when you are trying to deal with a megalomaniacal, holocaust denying, homosexual jailing, Israel annihilating leader. Thus, says the one, let’s start disarming because then we’ll have firmer ground to stand on when we deal with Ahmadinejad.  Oh and make special note, he would like to be known…

Obama Channels George W Bush

By Jim Vicevich | April 3, 2009 |

Oh the left will not like this speech. It’s Obama at this morning’s town hall meeting in Strasbourg, France (I know, sounds silly, but true). Standing before the youth of France and Germany, Obama tried to make the case for the “surge” in Afghanistan. Hey, come on, it’s a surge.
