Call me old-fashioned, but when the president and congressional leaders get into a tussle over who should be "leading" the country in matters of real national consequence, I feel like sending them to their rooms. "Call me naive," President Obama said at his news conference today. "But my expectation is that leaders are going to lead." Mine, too. So imagine my surprise when the president came to his own press conference -- which he called -- without anything much new to say on possible ways get to a deal to raise the national debt ceiling. Plenty of talk about gamesmanship, about deadlines and about how even Sasha and Malia are mature enough to do their ...

Imagine if this had been Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann forgetting their daughter’s age. What do you expect from a guy who admits he’s an absentee father? Keep voting present Mr. President.

WASHINGTON (AP) — They grow up so fast. But not that fast, Mr. President.
In a news conference Wednesday, President Barack Obama twice referred to his oldest daughter, Malia, as being 13 years old.
Not quite. She’s 12.

President Barack Obama spent an hour on Wednesday rambling about how his need for trillions of more dollars to give to unions and his supporters. Obama tried hard to frighten voters and those in the United States Congress about the dire need to raise his spending credit limit by more than 2 trillion dollars so the financial stability of Earth does not come crashing down on 02 August. Obama not only wants much more money to continue his rapid increase in the size of our government but he also wants to massively raise taxes on corporations and those he refers to as “rich” people. During his rant, Obama attacked corporations for using private jets, claiming that the tax deductions ...

“We wanted to know how much money we owe our retirees, and how much of that money we don’t have.” --Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas (June 22, 2011) We know the Federal and State governments are in serious fiscal trouble. Having overspent and over borrowed, they are now faced with the real prospect of having to reduce jobs, spending programs and retirement related benefits. But the States and the Federal government are not alone. During the boom times of entitlement spending and government largess leading up to the financial crisis, local governments that include cities and counties spent their share of forward earnings as well. And now those uncontrolled fiscal ...

Looks like the sting tactic that made Chris Hansen famous may have come back to bite him -- big time. The National Enquirer is reporting that they've caught the "To Catch A Predator" host cheating on his wife with a Kristyn Caddell, a Florida NBC affiliate news twenty one years his junior, with a hidden camera. Hansen is married with two children and lives in Connecticut. The Enquirer says that they have footage of Hansen out with Caddell, having dinner at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Manalapan, Florida, and then returning for the night to her Palm Springs apartment. The host has been spending time in Florida investigating the disappearance of James 'Jimmy T' Trindade, ...
Most Underreported Story Of The Year: WI Recall Effort Succeeding

Wautoma resident Ann Meyer Schmidt’s first act of democratic activism began in the middle of a snowstorm. As thick flakes of snow fell around her, Schmidt and about 100 others gathered Feb. 20 outside the Waushara County Republican Party’s annual Lincoln Day dinner in the small town of Wautoma, several days after Gov. Scott Walker had shocked the state and brought national attention to Wisconsin by introducing his union-busting budget repair bill. The outstate gathering was an early indicator that people weren’t just riled up in protest-prone Madison. Another sign: By early March, eight Republican senators from across the state were facing recall efforts for siding with ...

If his two daughters can do their homework with plenty of time to spare, the president then asked, why can’t Congress get their work done, too? “You know, Malia and Sasha generally finish their homework a day ahead of time. Malia is 13 and Sasha is 10. It is impressive. They don’t wait until the night before. They’re not pulling all-nighters,” he said to laughter from the assembled press corps. “They’re 13 and 10. You know, Congress can do the same thing. If you know you’ve got to do something, just do it.” But the president wasn’t done yet. After touting his leadership on the debt ceiling issue, pointing out that he’d met with ...

(06-29) 08:15 PDT Albuquerque, N.M. (AP) -- Federal environment officials have dispatched a special twin-engine plane capable of detecting chemical and radiological materials as a wildfire continues to burn near a government nuclear laboratory in northern New Mexico. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's "flying laboratory" is in the Los Alamos area, but an agency spokesman says it has yet to make its initial data-collection flight. The plane has sensors that collect detailed chemical air samples from a safe distance. It also was used during a fire that burned through part of Los Alamos and the lab in May 2000. The nuclear lab and state environment officials are also ...

CHICAGO — Epic floods, massive wildfires, drought and the deadliest tornado season in 60 years are ravaging the United States, with scientists warning that climate change will bring even more extreme weather. The human and economic toll over just the past few months has been staggering: hundreds of people have died, and thousands of homes and millions of acres have been lost at a cost estimated at more than $20 billion. And the United States has not even entered peak hurricane season. "This spring was one of the most extreme springs that we've seen in the last century since we've had good records," said Deke Arndt, chief of climate monitoring for the National ...
U.S. Cost Of War At Least $3.7 Trillion And Counting

NEW YORK (Reuters) - When President Barack Obama cited cost as a reason to bring troops home from Afghanistan, he referred to a $1 trillion price tag for America's wars. Staggering as it is, that figure grossly underestimates the total cost of wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan to the U.S. Treasury and ignores more imposing costs yet to come, according to a study released on Wednesday. The final bill will run at least $3.7 trillion and could reach as high as $4.4 trillion, according to the research project "Costs of War" by Brown University's Watson Institute for International Studies. (http://www.costsofwar.org) In the 10 years since U.S. troops went into ...
How New Jersey Feel About A Possible GOP Candidate

June 29 (Bloomberg) -- More than half of New Jersey residents say they wouldn’t back Governor Chris Christie for a second term, disapproving of his choices on a range of policy and personal issues, from killing a commuter tunnel to using a state-police helicopter to attend his son’s baseball game. Teachers, whose union Christie has targeted on tenure, pay and benefits, received a far higher favorable rating, 76 percent, than the first-term Republican himself, who had support from 43 percent, according to a Bloomberg New Jersey poll conducted June 20-23. “Teachers I know got laid off because of him,” Fred Lavin, 61, a poll respondent from Toms River who is ...

A generic Republican candidate now holds a four-point lead over President Obama in a hypothetical 2012 election matchup. It's a fifth week in a row that the GOP candidate has been ahead and the widest gap between the candidates to date. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds a generic Republican candidate earns support from 46% of Likely U.S. Voters, while the president picks up 42% of the vote. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and nine percent (9%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Republican voters are not satisfied with the candidates running for the Republican nomination and wish they had more choices, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll. None of the candidates currently hoping to challenge President Obama in 2012 has earned enthusiastic support from more than 7 percent of Republican voters. At the same time, Americans are closely divided over Mr. Obama’s handling of his job as president: 47 percent approve and 44 percent disapprove. With the exception of a short-lived jump in approval ratings after the death of Osama bin Laden, the public’s evaluation of Mr. Obama’s stewardship has remained steady — ranging from 44 percent to ...

President Obama and top White House aides are waging a behind-the-scenes push to win over skeptical big-dollar donors — whose early money is needed to help fund a dramatic summertime expansion of his battleground-state machinery. Campaign officials are working to broaden Obama’s network of “bundlers,” the well-connected rainmakers tasked with soliciting big checks from wealthy donors, while seeking to preserve the aura of a grass-roots movement by luring back the kind of small Internet donations that helped shatter fundraising records four years ago. To do so, Obama and his aides are leveraging every asset available to a sitting president — from access to top West ...

Is that disrespectful? Absolutely. It’s beyond disrespectful. I’m ashamed to say it. But it’s true. What are you watching here? This is Obama, speaking at Fort Drum and justifying his willy-nilly pullout of Afghanistan in front of the 10th Mountain Division. And he references SFC Jared Monti of the 10th Mountain as being the first Medal of Honor recipient not to get the award posthumously. Except Jared Monti was dead when he got the award. He was killed in action in 2006. Those are his parents in the picture as Obama presented them with Monti’s MOH. The soldier Obama must have been thinking about is SSG Sal Giunta, of the 173rd Airborne. Giunta was the first living ...
Obama’s Intellectual Stammers, Gaffes, and Ignorance

I recently heard a snippet from an LA Times op-ed by Obamapologist Meghan Daum titled, “Obama’s Fast Brain vs. Slow Mouth” in which Daum offered an explanation/defense/excuse for our president’s inclination to employ a multiplicity of “umms” and “uhs” when he speaks without, and sometimes with, his trusty teleprompters. As the article title suggests, Obama is so brilliant that his sluggish mouth is simply incapable of keeping up with his stupendous brain–not a nice thing to say about anyone, least of all a president– and he is reduced to “an intellectual stammer.” She didn’t attribute the president’s oratorical ineptness ...

Big Media doesn’t pay much attention to them, even though Obama makes an amazing number of errors in his public statements. And I think it’s easy enough to understand why the BM largely ignores them: to report them all would totally undermine the image of the president to which a surprising number of “reporters” and pundits are wedded: that of an unusually intelligent and well educated man. Yet someone who tells a crowd in Vienna that his “Austrian” isn’t very good, who tells Marines that he’s pleased to speak to the “Marine Corpse,” and who, just today, said he’d given the Medal of Honor to a survivor from the 10th Mountain Division, ...

Tom Petty has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann, demanding that she stop using his 1977 hit “American Girl” at campaign appearances. Bachmann used the track during her Monday stop in Waterloo, Iowa. It was a rough day for Bachmann in Iowa. She also confused movie legend John Wayne with serial killer John Wayne Gacy and John Adams with John Quincy Adams. According to Rolling Stone, Petty also asked George W. Bush not to use his song “I Won’t Back Down” during his 2000 campaign. He did, however, allow Hillary Clinton to use “American Girl” during the 2008 campaign. Click for Full Text!

LOS ALAMOS, New Mexico (AP) — A wildfire burning near the desert birthplace of the atomic bomb advanced on the Los Alamos laboratory and thousands of outdoor drums of plutonium-contaminated waste Tuesday as authorities stepped up efforts to protect the site from flames and monitor the air for radiation. Officials at the nation's premier nuclear weapons lab gave assurances that dangerous materials were safely stored and capable of withstanding flames from the 93-square-mile (240 square kilometer) fire, which as of midday was as close as 50 feet (15 meters) from the grounds. A small patch of land on the laboratory grounds caught fire Monday before firefighters quickly put it out. ...

Texas to defund Planned Parenthood Rick Moran More significantly, the Texas legislature wants Medicaid funds in a block grant so that they can spend it where they think it's needed rather than Washington telling them. Politico: The Texas Legislature approved a bill Monday that would both compel the state to push the Obama administration to convert Texas's Medicaid program into a block grant and defund abortion providers like Planned Parenthood. The omnibus health bill also includes a number of other controversial provisions, including plans to save $400 million over the next year by increasing the use of Medicaid managed care.The legislation now goes to the desk of Gov.
