So Obama released his 2012 budget and as expected, it contains more spending: President Barack Obama’s budget proposal resurrects a series of tax increases that were largely ignored by Congress when Democrats controlled both chambers. Republicans, who now control the … Continue reading
We have been musing on the Obama administration’s handling of the events transpiring in Egypt. Many of us would like to believe that Barack Obama is genuinely incompetent as has been suggested, but what if it’s something else? What if … Continue reading

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said he will stay in power for six more months. That guy does not understand how Groundhog Day works.
Rep. Christopher Lee resigned after he was caught sending a shirtless photo of himself to a woman he met on Craigslist. On the bright side, he did manage to surprise his wife on Valentine’s Day.

Sometimes it just seems as though Barack Obama is intent on destroying the United States of America.
Nancy Pelosi said that Obamacare would result in the creation of 4 million new jobs, with 400,000 of them appearing almost instantly. In contrast, the CBO disclosed that implementation of Obamacare would result in a reduction of 800,000 jobs by 2021. Continue reading
Victor Davis Hanson reminds us about the last time we saw this kind of “revolutionary” fever…not in Egypt but in Iran:

I think the arguably most poisonous phrase in the contemporary lexicon is the phrase “celebrate diversity.” It represents the antithesis of that for which this country stands. The phrase on our the Great Seal of the United States is “E pluribus unum” meaning “one from many.” Al Gore, however, has his own version.

In the mean time the president has gathered around him a cast of sycophants that reflect his sophomoric visions, retired Air Force General Eric Clapper is only one example of many from this irrational and irresponsible assemblage of ideologues.
