Gallons per hour: a new metric for the lousy Øbama economy?
It may seem simplistic, but wouldn’t measuring they buying power of your salary (or what’s left of it) in terms of gallons of fuel per hour make a certain amount of sense? Think about it: it will make the effects of increasing fuel prices something directly relevant to everyone except the minority of people that…
Read MoreObama’s new boogyman…”big oil”
With the price of gasoline rising by the day, the President has a problem. People perceive that he can, and should do something about it…now. Expect to hear the following in the coming months.
Read MoreWhy should we give the “keys to the car” back to Øbama in 2012?
Remember back in 2010, during a Democrat(ic) Congressional Campaign committee fundraising dinner during an ill-fated attempt to keep Pelosi’s death grip on the House, he said: After they drove the car into the ditch, made it as difficult as possible for us to pull it back, now they want to keys back.

What is also typical is how the latest royal vacation of Øbama and family is…

While we watch the protesters of Occupy Wall St. march to the houses of prominent bankers (but not prominent Democrat financiers like George Soros), whining about, well, something, we need to let recent history be our guide. I looked through my archives and found this little tidbit from the 2008 LA Times: Democrats are the…
Read MoreHow smart is Øbama anyhow?
Maureen Dowd (MoDo) recently wrote an article titled “The few, the dumb, the proud” designed primarily to disparage current Republican front runner Rick Perry. She also manages to take a few partisan swipes at the intelligence, or at least school records, of George W. Bush, Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann. Much of this may…

In times of recession and economic stress, one approach to addressing said stress would be to relax those regulations that impede or hinder economic growth. You’d think the President, or at least his advisors, would know this, right?
