Obama’s rousing economy speech

April 19th, 2011 | No Comments

A few days ago President Obama delivered his vision of the 2012 budget.  It was less than well received: The Republicans, as expected, weren’t too pleased with it either. Here it is if you want to watch it before discussing any further: Now, the main gripe was, as per the norm with Obama, it had [...]

Don’t look now……

But unemployment claims went up, again.  They were expected to drop to 460,000.  But, they came in at a revised 480,000.  That’s about 4% more than expected. Obama, sensing there might be some bad news, cheerfully told people to not watch the “echo chamber”.  That’s cable news to most of us. Then, the House Democrats [...]

Obama digging deeper

January 22nd, 2010 | No Comments

Fresh on the surprise pounding Obama’s candidate took in Massachusetts, Obama unleashed his fury on banks, again.  Apparently the message wasn’t received.  I thought it was funny when Robert Gibbs blamed Coakley’s loss on George W. Bush.  Now it just seems pathetic.  Here’s a clue, it’s a simple one, but apparently not one Obama and [...]

Reaction to Obama’s state of the union

February 25th, 2009 | No Comments

Reaction to Obama’s speech in the media is about as predictable as you’d expect.  Fox is finding all kinds of problems with it, CNN is lauding how their poll reaction was.  MSNBC couldn’t contain themselves during the Republican response.  I’d run a poll here, but I know most of my readers don’t like Obama, so [...]

Harry Reid and the Dow, part II

February 10th, 2009 | 2 Comments

Harry Reid predicted last week that if the Senate did not pass the stimulus package that day, the Dow would crash.  They didn’t pass it, the Dow went up 200 points.  Last night the Senate passed a critical vote, to cut off debate and schedule a vote on the stimulus package.  This is the preamble [...]

Harry Reid and the Dow

February 6th, 2009 | 2 Comments

Yesterday Harry Reid stated that if the Senate did not pass the economic stimulus plan the stock market would crash on Friday. Funny thing happened today ( Friday ).  Barring a major sell-off, the market is UP 200 points so far on the news that the Senate did NOT pass the stimulus package. You think [...]

Nancy Pelosi’s economic policies reach new highs

February 2nd, 2009 | No Comments

In Losses, that is.  A while back I did a little piece: When asked whether the Democrats “deserve some responsibility” regarding the economic crisis, Pelosi responded: “No.” That’s what Nancy Pelosi had to say in September.  She could equivocate the hell out of that too.  If a Democrat was president, it was the Republican House’s [...]

They need dirty laundry……

August 6th, 2007 | No Comments

Don Henley summed up the media industry perfectly a long time ago with Dirty Laundry: I make my living off the evening news Just give me something-something I can use People love it when you lose, they love dirty laundry Case in point, Friday the Dow lost 281 points. It was all over the media. [...]
