Wow, it’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve had time to write a post–and what a difference a couple of weeks can make. Since my last post, Scott Brown won the U.S. Senate seat once occupied by Ted Kennedy in the bluest of blue states, Massachusetts, and the White House officially declared war on Wall Street. There’s [...]

Obama’s Bogus Health Care “Transparency”
It looks as though President Obama is on the record–on eight different occasions–proclaiming that all health care negotiations would be televised on C-SPAN. This was part of his promise to make government more “transparent” and we all know how that’s turned out.

Barack Hussein Obama: Weak on National Security
Say what you will about George W. Bush, but he took his job seriously. President George W. Bush understood that his most solemn duty as president was the defense of America–in other words, the safety and security of its citizens. Barack Obama does not understand this. In fact, he seems more concerned with pushing a left-wing agenda–like the cap and [...]

Obama’s Improved Salute, Courtesy of the USMC
Great post at Blackfive from Mr. Wolf on President Obama’s military salute. It’s improved by leaps and bounds.
Here it looks like he’s looking out over the horizon for a pirate ship.
Here he’s even got the thousand-yard stare. Well done.

Is Obama Waiting for Tuesday’s Elections Before Making a Decision on Afghanistan?
I spoke with a political consultant friend of mine today and we were talking about Afghanistan. He said, “Obama will announce his decision on the troop increase after Tuesday’s elections. He’s going to send the troops, but he doesn’t want the backlash from his decision to alienate the left before Tuesday.” So, is Obama waiting to announce his decision on Afghanistan [...]

Steve Shannon: Unfit to be Attorney General
When asked during a debate to delineate the roles and responsibilities of the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Virginia, Del. Steve Shannon couldn’t give a straight answer. His transparent attempt to dodge this most basic question should raise serious doubts in the minds of all voters of Steve Shannon’s ability to be an effective [...]

Senate Finance Committee Health Bill: 1,502 Pages
I guess when you’re attempting to remake one-sixth of the American economy it takes a lot of paper. The bill is not yet up on the Finance Committee website or Thomas.gov. More on the bill at Politico. I bet there are a lot of gems in this one.

Obama Advisor Anita Dunn: Mao “My Favorite Political Philosopher”
Wow, Anita Dunn is on fire. In fact, she’s shaping up to be the next Van Jones–radical leftist turned Obama staffer turned political liability. First, she trashed Fox News and now we find out that Mao Tse Tung is one of her favorite political philosophers. Historians estimate that Mao killed between 50 and 70 million people–yet Dunn, who [...]

The Harvard “Scholar,” the Cambridge Police, and Race Baiting
I guess Barack Obama is human after all. He went into Wednesday evening’s press conference with the goal of convincing the American public that a massive government overhaul of the U.S. health care system is a good idea. He failed.
Instead, he stepped on a political land mine when he weighed in on [...]
