While they do get paid a bit more in the “green” economy, a much lower percentage are working in the “green” economy. Supposedly, there are 3.4 million “green” jobs (school bus drivers, scrap metal workers, employee at a bike shop, and, yes, even an oil industry lobbyist) out there, but…. (Climate Progress) ….the green sector […]

Another “green” company to add to the list of Obama green failures (h/t Dana) (The Hill) Fisker Automotive, a federally backed maker of plug-in hybrid cars, laid off 75 percent of its workers Friday as it struggles to stay afloat and find new capital, according to press accounts.

Obama lying? Gee, he never does that! (via Ace) (Weekly Standard) Now, over the next couple of months, we’ve got a couple of issues: gun control. (Applause.) I just came from Denver, where the issue of gun violence is something that has haunted families for way too long, and it is possible for us to […]

—>shocked face<— (Time) Let me try to understand this: The key incentive for small businesses to support Obamacare was that they would be able to shop for the best deals in health care super-stores—called exchanges. The Administration has had 3 years to set up these exchanges. It has failed to do so. This is a […]

Surprise! (The Hill) The Obama administration defied a majority of the Senate on Tuesday by voting to approve a United Nations treaty on the trade of small arms and other conventional weapons.

Alas, this wasn’t an April Fool’s Day joke (granted, with Obama in the WH, every day is April 1st….combined with April 15) All Americans deserve the chance to turn their hard work into a decent living for their families and a bright future for their children. Seizing that opportunity takes more than drive and initiative […]

Did you catch (NMP) Obama’s finger wagging speech yesterday? Here’s Allahpundit Textbook O. First, almost obligatorily, the speech is built on the assumption that his opponents are callous to the point of malignancy. Read the transcript and you’ll see that he’s all but given up arguing policy on this; it’s a straight-up, 13-minute-long guilt trip, […]

So, what we can expect for the next month or so is massive hyperbole, blamestorming, fear-mongering, and denigration of opponents, at least till he gets bored (The Hill) The White House hopes to bolster President Obama’s political standing by shifting attention from the bruising budget battles of the last month to immigration reform and gun […]
