Governor Palin issues a scathing, much-needed, Facebook note regarding the lies this administration fed Americans about Obamacare. The lies didn't make it any more palatable to the majority of people, but the more we find out, the more vehemently we oppose this travesty called health care reform. Governor Palin points out the blatant untruths of unpopular Obamacare. It’s now six months since President Obama took control of one-sixth of the private sector economy with his health care “reform,” and the first changes to our health care system come into effect today. Despite overwhelming public dislike of the bill, we were told that D.C. knows best, and there was nothing to ...

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton called the governing agenda Republicans unveiled today an “ideological document” and warned that it would be implemented at the expense of America’s middle class. “They don’t know that the model for success in the 21st century is a vigorous private sector, an effective government, a partnership, not these hysterical tirades against government,” Clinton said in an interview for Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt” at the Clinton Global Initiative meeting in New York. With less than two months before congressional midterm elections, House Republicans announced a governing agenda today that ...
Lessons From the Kenyan's Stimulus to Nowhere

No one spends money like the federal government. This year alone, it will shovel out $3.7 trillion, which works out to $7 million a minute. So it may surprise you to find out the clearest lesson from the Obama administration's fiscal stimulus program: The government is not very good at spending money. On the contrary, it's slow and clumsy. Nearly a third of the $787 billion package, signed into law in February 2009, was assigned to infrastructure projects -- from fixing roads and building bridges to weatherizing buildings and upgrading electrical grids.

Hoo-Rah, General James Amos USMC, Semper Fidelis, Sir!

General James Amos, USMC, has given the spirits of his men a great boost by sounding off on the ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ issue. Amos is next in line to be chosen as Commandant of the Marine Corps, on the upcoming retirement of now Commandant General James Conway. General Amos is a Marine aviator, a jet pilot by trade… not a hard-nosed infantry officer like General Conway. Did Obama think that Amos would be a soft touch? Amos and Conway have both been keenly aware of what the men in the Corps were saying… and thinking. Amos spoke for the Corps as a whole when he said that unit morale would suffer. He said that the ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ ...

Examiner Editorial: Obamacare is even worse than critics thought Examiner Editorial September 22, 2010 Much more has been revealed about Obamacare since President Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi pushed the bill on Americans six months ago. (J. Scott Applewhite/AP file) Six months ago, President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rammed Obamacare down the throats of an unwilling American public. Half a year removed from the unprecedented legislative chicanery and backroom dealing that characterized the bill's passage, we know much more about the bill than we did then. A few of the revelations: » Obamacare won't decrease health care ...

Sarah Palin: I'll run if nobody else steps up Former Alaska GOP Gov. Sarah Palin gave her strongest indication yet that she may run for president Wednesday night, saying she would jump into the race if “nobody else were to step up” with the proposals she wants to see. Palin’s recent trip to Iowa has increased speculation that she may run for the Republican nomination in 2012, and she has seemed more open to the possibility in recent interviews. Asked by Fox News’s Greta Van Susteren what “would be a reason to run” during an interview Wednesday night, Palin laid out her criteria: “A reason to run is if nobody else were to step up with the ...

New polling in California moved the state's senate race from Toss-Up to Leans Democratic in the Rasmussen Reports Senate Balance of Power ranking. Earlier today, Alaska moved to Soild Republican from Leans Republican. Current projections suggest that the Democrats would hold 51 seats after Election Day while the Republicans would hold 45. Four states are in the Toss-Up category (Colorado, Illinois, Nevada, and Wisconsin). All four Toss-Ups are seats currently held by Democrats. Republicans have the edge in four Democratic-held Senate seats--Arkansas, Indiana, North Dakota, and Pennsylvania. At the moment, no Republican-held seats appear headed for the Democratic column. The state ...

A modest shift in public polling toward Democrats is giving some Democratic leaders hope that talk of a wave election has been overstated and that the public is -- to some degree at least -- swinging back behind the President and his party. Both President Obama's job approval ratings and the generic ballot figures have edged toward parity over the last month, prompting some Democrats to look hopefully toward a new trend, and to a retreat from a reflexive embrace of the still-unpopular Republican Party. "There have been a slew of polls in the last few days showing substantial movement toward the Democrats and away from the Republicans," Simon Rosenberg, the founder of the ...

In July 2009, Alcee Hasting got 76 Democrats and Republican Ileana Ros-Lehtinen to back a repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" in the House. Hasting sent this letter to President Barack Obama asking for an end of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." The United States of America prides itself on having the finest military in the world because of the hard work, dedication, and sacrifices of our brave servicemen and women. And yet, under 10 U.S.C. § 654 (Policy Concerning Homosexuality in the Armed Forces), better known as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," the talents and contributions of our openly gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) service ...

Unemployment rises in 27 states last month Unemployment rises in 27 states, worst showing since February, as hiring remains weak Christopher S. Rugaber, AP Economics Writer, On Tuesday September 21, 2010, 3:28 pm EDT WASHINGTON (AP) -- More than half of U.S. states saw their unemployment rates rise in August, the largest number in six months, as hiring weakened across the country. The jobless rate increased in 27 states last month, the Labor Department said Tuesday. It fell in 13 and was unchanged in 10 states and Washington, D.C. That's worse than the previous month, when the rate increased in only 14 states and fell in 18. It's also the most states to see an increase since ...

ABC Consumer Confidence Drops, Poll Gets Downright Cynical: "Recession Ends, Nobody Notices" Some funny quotes in the latest weekly ABC Consumer Comfort Index poll, which incidentally dropped from -43 to -46, just inches away from the 2010 lows, but more importantly, just inches away from the lows seen throughout the entire depression, as consumer sentiment has gone nowhere fast in the past two years: "Recession Ends, Nobody Notices." Indeed, as the chart below shows, ABC's weekly poll of about 1,000 random people shows nothing at all good for the economy, which, oh yes, is now out of the recession, but not the depression. And for technicians out there, the ...

Christine O’Donnell down 15 points in new poll In Delaware, the tea is lukewarm. A new FoxNews poll, conducted Sept. 18 and released Tuesday, shows Democratic Senate nominee Chris Coons leadng Republican Christine O’Donnell by 15 points, 54 percent to 39 percent. Sixty percent of those surveyed said O’Donnell is not qualified to be a U.S. senator, while 59 percent said Coons is qualified. Likely voters would have backed Rep. Mike Castle, the moderate Republican who lost to O’Donnell, over Coons by a double-digit margin, 48 percent to 33 percent. But the poll’s other questions also reveal an antipathy to the “tea party” among the state’s ...

Instead, the national leadership lurches from one improvisation to another while local campaigns scramble to find garbage they can dig up on their opponents in the hopes that these negative ads will suffice even though they have no message. To the extent the Democrats address the Obama agenda at all, it is to distance themselves from it, heralding their ...

U.S. household net worth drops Credit: Reuters/Robert Galbraith WASHINGTON | Fri Sep 17, 2010 1:45pm EDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. household wealth fell by $1.5 trillion in the second quarter, according to Federal Reserve data on Friday that showed the strain a slow-paced recovery and high unemployment are putting on Americans. Household net worth fell to $53.5 trillion, well below the $64.2 trillion it had reached at the end of 2007 when the recession officially began, according to the central bank's quarterly flow of funds report. Declines in the value of financial assets -- especially in stocks and mutual funds -- accounted for much of the decline in second-quarter net ...

Yesterday, on Sunday, September 19, 2010, the Obama family attended church for only the third time in a year. They went on foot to the St. John’s Episcopal Church situated across the Lafayette Park. But what is widely not reported by the White House and the MSM is that on that particular Sunday in that particular church, Dr. Ziad Asali, M.D., a Muslim, founder and president of the American Task Force on Palestine, was the guest speaker. He was there to speak on the subject of “Prospects of the two-state solution in the Middle-East.” According to the website of the American Task Force on Palestine, it is a “non-profit, non-partisan organization based in Washington, ...

If the election were held today, Robert Byrd’s U.S. Senate seat from West Virginia would be held by a Republican and someone other than Byrd for the first time in 52 years. Though Governor Joe Manchin is still very popular, with a stellar 59-32 approval rating, second among those PPP has measured this year to Louisiana’s Bobby Jindal, he is trailing Republican opponent John Raese, 43-46, among likely voters.

Are you as thrilled as I am to learn that the recession is over? Heck, according the FED, it hardly happened — well, that’s not quite right. They acknowledge that it was the worst recession “since the Great Depression.” That’s the standard formula isn’t it? But not to worry. It ended ages ago. In June, 2009, if you can believe it. No, I don’t believe it either. Even The New York Times has registered the problem: “Second-Quarter Economic Growth,” blared on column, “revised down to 1.6%.” Meanwhile, nationwide unemployment is hovering close to 10%. In Nevada — so long, Harry Reid! — it’s a whopping 14.4%. The Washington ...
