GM To Add More Car Lines No One Will Buy

But, don’t say that the Obama administration is not telling Government Motors what to do. Not because that is incorrect, but, just because they don’t want you to say it General Motors Corp will do the “heavy lifting” to help meet the ambitious goal set by President Barack Obama of having one million plug-in hybrid […]

Obama Calls PC As Words “Jimmy Carter” Resonate

Apparently, President Neophyte is not enjoying the look of things right now. His poll numbers are slipping, John McCain, among others, made a powerful speech on Iran, and it appears as if the election result will be left to standand Ahmadinejad will be reinstalled as the Iranian president. All while Iranians plead for the U.S. […]

North Korea Gives Barry Another 3am Call

Will he answer? Or, is it time for another photo-op trip to get a burger with Joe, frozen custard with the kids, or maybe a round of golf? This is what North Korea had to say regarding the U.S. trailing a Nork ship that could possibly be carrying materials banned by a U.N. resolution passed after […]

Might Saturday’s Tenor Change Obama’s View On Iran?

You know, it’s not so much that Obama is on the wrong side of history, regarding Iran. He’s on no side of history. Even the BBC is getting rather cynical vis a vis Obama’s reticence to become engaged The White House has so far resisted calls to speak out more forcefully in support of Iranian […]

This strikes me as a sensible position. The revealed preferences of both sides […]

Obama’s 3am Call To Hawaii

Hmm, I wonder if Obama will say he is “deeply concerned,” but thinks that we can still negotiate with North Korea’s mad man Defense Secretary Robert Gates said he has ordered the U.S. military to take defensive measures should North Korea attempt to fire a ballistic missile toward Hawaii. “I think we are in a […]

Michelle Bachmann Gets A Little Crazy Over Census

There are times to be concerned about the ultra-progressive agenda of Obama and the Donkeys, and times to take a chill pill. I do believe that, in this case, Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn.) has gone a bit overboard. Not quite in Dennis Kucinich’s league, and she certainly hasn’t compared our troops to Nazi’s, Pol Pot’s troops, […]

Mousavi Ratchets Up The Opposition

Now, Mousavi is not really for as much openness and reform as people may think, and certainly not on the international front, but, at this point, he may be opening a can of worms that could force major changes in Iran Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi has called for a mass rally to protest […]

ObamaCare: $1 Trillion Over 10 Years. So, Who Pays?

The Congressional Budget Office came out with their assessment of ObamaCare Tuesday, and, it is not pretty “How are we going to pay for that, Mr. President?” Sen. John McCain has asked.
