I know, I know, it’s extremely strange, historic and unprecedented, if you will, that an administration that spends much of its time railing against and demonizing private enterprise would have a tough time charming the same The Obama administration’s push to mend its relationship with business has gone cold only six months into the effort.

….if the first thought that came to mind was “enormous and reckless spending by Obama and the Democrats,” well, sorry, nope, uh uh, you have to go back to the B and T words With President Obama and Republican leaders calling for cutting the budget by trillions over the next 10 years, it is worth […]

Well, as to the first part, op-ed contributors Eric A. Posner and Adrian Vermeule state that it would be perfectly Constitutional, and offer an extremely dubious rationale PRESIDENT OBAMA should announce that he will raise the debt ceiling unilaterally if he cannot reach a deal with Congress.

It’s so terrible There’s a narrative gaining traction in Washington as a debt crisis looms: House Republican hard-liners might soften their stance once they’ve gotten a vote on their Cut, Cap and Balance proposal. But if that’s the case, the conservatives aren’t in on the plan. Well, that’s pretty much it for a story by […]

Well, it’s nice to know that Obama is making friends around the world and “restoring America’s honor” Daniel Fiol lodged a written complaint at the International Criminal Court accusing the US president of breaching the Geneva Convention. Navy Seals acting on Mr Obama’s orders shot the al-Qaeda leader dead on May 2 after storming his […]

Obama’s still treating the Dalai Lama rather shabbily The White House announced late Friday that President Obama will meet with the Dalai Lama at the White House on Saturday, finally putting an end to mounting speculation about whether the Tibetan religious leader would get an invite to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. “This meeting underscores the President’s […]

I’m not a big fan of a balanced budget amendment, it would be better to just stop spending so damned much, rather than peg spending to no more than 18% of GDP. You know government will always attempt to hit that 18%, rather than be frugal with the money they take at the barrel of […]
