Obama reacts to oppressive regulations
Remember earlier this year when the President told Americans that he had instructed his administration to review all regulations as he had discovered that excessive federal regulations actually hurt business, the economy, and jobs? On Tuesday of this week, the administration, through Cass Sunstein, from the White House Office of Management and Budget, proudly released…

During the President’s Midwest bus tour today, the President announced that he has a specific economic plan to bring this country out of our recession/depression/economic downturn…
Read MoreIt’s everyone else’s fault, and, I have a plan
On Thursday, President Obama gave a speech at a Johnson Controls plant in Holland, Michigan. You can find the full text of the speech here, but, let me summarize.
Read MoreWhy don’t politicians have fundraisers for the country instead of themselves?
Recently, all we hear are complaints from elected politicians about how hard it is to “find” money to fund their spending. Isn’t it time that politicians thought more about the country than getting their privileged, lard-laden hindquarters reelected, particularly this early in the election cycle?
Read MoreThe President has “summoned”?
After listening tonight to the “dueling banjos” of the President’s press conference, and Speaker Boehner’s ensuing press conference, we seem to be back to square one.
Read MoreFree Trade Agreements…what the President didn’t tell you
At President Obama’s news conference today he spoke about the need to ratify free trade agreements (FTA’s) with Korea, Columbia and Panama. He spoke the same words in his January State of the Union Address stating that ratification “will support at least 700,000 American jobs”.

I’m not sure this is much different than using coffees in the White House, or renting out the Lincoln bedroom as a way of raising funds for a political campaign. But it’s a stretch to say what Pres. Obama is doing right now to raise money for the Democratic Party is the same as what…
Read MoreNot just another bump in the road
This is a slick, highly effective ad by the Romney campaign. And should he get the nomination it’s clear he’s got the money to get his message out and that’s not good news for the Obama campaign. More than that I think this ad shows that the young president should take the unemployment situation in…
Read MoreObama to America: Hey, did you hear the one about the shovel ready project?
Yeah, Mr President, that one’s a real knee slapper. Obama met yesterday with his jobs council … headed by a man, by the way, who lives off government contracts, and I don’t just mean military contracts… and literally laughed off the stimulus failure. Yeah, that’s a funny one.
Read MoreNetanyahu to Obama: No, Mr President. No return to pre ’67 borders
Respectful, calm, but firm in resolve, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu made it crystal clear to the President there will be no agreement as outlined by the President yesterday. If Obama thought that Bebe would roll over in the presence of the One, he badly miscalculated. Video below the fold. Listen as the PM outlines his…
