Things are going horribly wrong for the President. The job numbers for the last month were stagnant. The vacation that he took was constantly criticized for extravagance—and he didn’t even get to stay the entire time because of the hurricane. His new jobs plan which looks a lot like his old jobs plan is dead [...]
You may have thought that the latest offering from the White House on the birth certificate controversy would have put to rest the questions surrounding the location of our President’s birth. You’d be mistaken. The latest thing that’s come up is that the White House circulated a Certificate of Live Birth that was a forgery [...]
Last week, while Japan was in the middle of a nuclear crisis and many were wondering whether fall out would reach the United States, the “Leader of the Free World” was on ESPN announcing his picks for March Madness. The rest of the week he spent golfing, and then in Brazil. Many have made the [...]
Yesterday the U.S. House did something that it has never done in all of its years of existence. For an hour and a half, Representatives read the entire U.S. Constitution. One would think it would have been uneventful—but that’s hoping for too much.
Every modern politician that runs for the Presidency has some topic that just will not go away. Sen. John Kerry had the “Swift Boat Veterans for Truth”. President George W. Bush carried around the Supreme Court settling whether Florida could do its recounts. And President Obama has the birth certificate fiasco. This video is amusing, [...]
Every time there is a Presidential election in the United States, there are many promises that are made, and expectations that are set. It’s part of what happens to get elected. And then the politicians walk back their promises the best they can to try to preserve their reputation—seeking someone else to pass the buck [...]
I mean, how else can you explain the fact that until this moment President Obama (and formerly Senator Obama) stated that the only way that a Health Care Reform plan should be done is through a wide, bipartisan margin?
When President Obama signaled his approval of using the Senate’s Budget Reconciliation process to push ObamaCare1 through the Senate, he is doing more than going back on statements he made about wanting this to be bipartisan. He is doing more than misusing something that is in place for budgetary measures. He is proposing used a [...]
One of the trouble with numbers is that with the size of the numbers that were being thrown around the other day at the health care debate was that it’s extremely difficult to tell who is using the right numbers and what the truth is. President Obama uses numbers that back up his argument, and [...]
Have you ever wondered how hard it would be to meet a famous person? This past Sunday I was at a church where Dr. Woodrow Kroll of Back to the Bible was the special speaker, and I figured that it would be relatively easy to go up and shake his hand, and it got me [...]
Of course the Party Crashers had no business being in the White House without an invitation, and they should have been excused the moment that they were found to be off the guest list… I’m still not sure how these types of people keep getting in?
Not as big a deal as it was a few months ago, but here’s a funny take on President Obama’s reliance on the teleprompter. I especially find funny the part where he “loads the teleprompter to lecture his speech writers” and “the caps key got stuck so he ended up shouting the whole speech.”
I would have thought that this would have been in the bag. I’m not quite sure why a President of the United States would have been allowed (by his own people) to go lobby for something that had such a great a chance for failure. I think it reflects poorly on our country, and what [...]
In many ways I’m an idealist. I’m a trusting individual that doesn’t expect people to want to lie or be malicious, and when someone says something I take it at face value. When then Sen. Obama ran for the Presidency, I didn’t have a problem with his skin color—only his policies. I realized that there [...]
One of the things that has been true for politics in the United States is that it rarely leaves one party in power for too long. Usually, different sections of government balance each other out. Consolidated power between the Presidency and the Congress rarely stays that way unless there are moderate voices. This is one [...]
