Update: Is Panetta a good fit at CIA?
Probably not if you come from the Mitch Rapp school of action, not appeasement. Some feel that the media should not question Obama appointments, but plenty of questions are being asked concerning Obama’s current selection to lead the CIA, Leon Panetta – including big Democrats. Update: Jim just let me know that Peter Brookes, former…
Read MoreNew Deal v2.0 programs, taxes and fees cropping up everywhere
I recently wrote about Obama’s New Deal v2.0 that provides the green light for other cities and states to go ahead and start taxing at will. New York is just going nuts, and more is to come.
Read MoreZiegler’s “How Obama got elected” video and poll confirmed
On Nov. 18, I wrote over at Conservative247 about John Ziegler’s poll and video posted at How Obama Got Elected. Hat tip to Ed at Hot Air who highlights Ziegler’s – not really needed – vindication efforts. Here are some of the results from the new poll.
Read MoreSenators can filter information on their own, presidents can not
I’m asking the question since Obama wants to keep his Blackberry so he can “break through the isolation” of the White House. This is one of the issues I knew would come up since Obama has no management or executive leadership experience. Whether a the CEO of a corporation or the president of the United…

Read MoreObligatory link to the “How Obama got elected” video
I’m not a big fan of man-on-the-street political interviews by radio and TV shows. Generally, they pick out the people who give funny or uninformed answers and play the answers for laughs. The video, provided in this post, is a bit different. It’s edited in a biased way, but the effort by John Ziegler at…
Read MoreDNC claims poverty, asks for donations after election
A few months ago I took one for the team and subscribed to e-mail alerts from the Obama campaign and family. It was so nice to get personal e-mails from Michelle reminding me I only had until midnight to donate to the campaign for a chance to have a front row seat to history on…
Read MoreDid Obama advisers meet with Hamas pre-election?
And are they meeting with them now? Hinderaker at Power Line Blog just posted reference to a story published yesterday in Al-Hayat, a London-based Arabic-language newspaper. The report indicates that a secret meeting was held between Obama advisers and Dr. Ahmad Yousef, a political adviser to the prime minister of the Hamas-led government. Other discussions…
Read MoreRahm Emanuel tied to Freddie Mac – nothing to see here
Just who is Obama’s new chief of staff? I’ve been a bit behind this week in reading due to other commitments, but this afternoon was when I first heard about Obama’s pick. Guess who served on the board of Freddie Mac in 2000 and 2001?
