Obama’s turning the rhetoric up a notch.
“Your employer, it’s estimated, would see premiums fall by as much as 3,000 percent,” said the president, “which means they could give you a raise.”
A White House press spokesman later said the president misspoke; he had meant to say annual premiums would drop by $3,000.
The number, $3,000, not 3,000 [...]

Seriously:

It just amazes me that all these people are fighting over whether to pass this health care reform and no one, including Nancy Pelosi, has any clue what’s in it. But, regardless of the fact no one knows what this thing will do, or not do, Obama has staked his presidency on it at [...]

Got this from a well-respected person I know via another well-respected person I know via a probably less well-respected person they know, but who has a better humor:
A U.S. Marine squad was marching north of Fallujah when they came upon an Iraqi terrorist who was badly injured and unconscious. On the opposite side of the [...]

That’s what Dan Rather said.

Now, I would have said “ice to an eskimo”, or “s**t to farmer”. But, that would be stereotyping. In Chris Matthews minds, connecting a black man to watermelons is nothing to blink an eye at. Some people will fein shock and horror at Dan for being so, [...]

OK, so some economist said a whole bunch of people might lose their jobs.  Then, the actual numbers came in less than what might have been.
Harry Reid was thrilled.  You can see the excitement in his eyes.  You can hear it in his voice:

Now, this is where it gets dicey.  The immediate assumption by Harry [...]

People all over the country are really bothered by the fact that Senator Jim Bunning shut down the federal government.  I mean, people are really bothered by this:

Just a few more months of his idiotic ranting and he is finally finished!!

and

Jim Bunning has the intelligence of a dead gnat, and that’s being kind to the [...]

The Senate bit back at Obama and his party of NO science:

Angry senators demand answers from NASA chief Bolden
Bolden pleads for patience
BY BART JANSEN • FLORIDA TODAY • February 25, 2010
WASHINGTON — Senators lashed out at President Barack Obama and the head of NASA on Wednesday for canceling the space agency’s program to replace the [...]

Was listening to Foxnews on the radio going to lunch.  Didn’t get to hear much, but I did get to hear Obama tell of when he was a young man, he was rear-ended.  So, he called his insurance company and they laughed at him.  Therefore, he came to the conclusion that insurance companies are greedy [...]

Time for another senseless distraction.  The Missile Defense Agency recently took some pretty hard PR hits.  When Obama ran for President, he promised all kinds of change.  Here’s some:
Thanks so much for the Caucus4Priorities, for the great work you’ve been doing. As president, I will end misguided defense policies and stand with Caucus4Priorities in fighting [...]

A few days ago Obama told a crowd in Michigan that the stimulus was working.
Then the jobs claims showed people weren’t being hired.
Now the housing market is taking a hit:
New U.S. Homes Sales Plunged to Record Low in January
This is what it’s looked like since Obama took over:
