Did Team Obama Pay The Washington Post For Fawning Coverage?

Apparently, they watched a different speech than the rest of us did. Here’s Charles Krauthammer on Obama’s Monday night repeat, via Gateway Pundit: Don Surber has some other quotes which lambaste President Snippy Pants. And So It Goes In Shreveport eviscerates (whoops, sorry, uncivil word) Obama’s class warfare scaremongering blamestorming 5 year old tantrum presser. […]

NY Times Blames The Deficit On……..

….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 […]

Are You Up For Some Spenditol?

Been seeing this one on Fox News a few times today, both as a commercial and as a news blurb, from the Concerned Women for America, which both Ed Morrissey and Jim Geraghty love, as do I. Of course, if there is some grand deal that the Republicans sign on to that raises taxes and […]

On Debt And Credit Rating, E.J. Dionne Blames……

Surely, he is going to blame Obama and the Democrats for racking up $3 trillion in debt since Obama took office, and creating deficits of well over a trillion since he took office. Spending has skyrocketed. Obamacare creates trillions in new entitlement spending. Their policies have completely failed. Guess who gets blamed? Media reports are […]

Gang Of Six Raw Offer: As Bad As You Thought It Would Be

Shocked? When both National Review and The Politico hate it……… Starting with National Review But now, along comes the Gang of Six plan, and some Republicans are apparently intrigued by it. They shouldn’t be. It’s a terrible, terrible plan. It will hand the president a huge strategic victory and deliver nothing that the GOP should […]

Oh, Noes, GOP Has Not Backup Debt Plan As Issue Turns “Scary”

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 […]

GOP Shifts To The Hard Right On Debt Talks (?)

So says the Politico in a wonder article that could have been written by the DNC or the uber politicized White Democrat House Turning right with a vengeance, Republicans will bring to the House floor Tuesday a newly revised debt-ceiling bill that is remarkable for its total absence of compromise at this late date, two […]

NY Times: This Prolonged Recession Is The Fault Of You Consumers

Because, darnitall, you silly consumers just won’t spend yourselves into massive debt in the manner (NMP) Obama has THERE is no shortage of explanations for the economy’s maddening inability to leave behind the Great Recession and start adding large numbers of jobs: The deficit is too big. The stimulus was flawed. China is overtaking us. […]

GOP Has Had Enough Of Obama, Will Attempt To Pass Cut, Cap, And Balance

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 […]

Did You Ever Think We Would Envy China’s Economy?

Because their economy is going so great that they are now trying to put the brakes on their overheated economy Reporting from Beijing— While the Obama administration struggles to jump-start the stalled U.S. recovery, policymakers in Beijing have an opposite but equally formidable task: putting the brakes on China’s speeding economy without triggering a slump.
