Right as Obama is gearing up for another round of stimulus funding, Germany’s Angela Merkel blindsided him some of the craziest advice Obama’s probably heard since the last Tea Party rally: “It’s urgently necessary for monetary stability that public budgets return to balance,” German Economy Minister Rainer Bruederle said at a press conference Monday, according [...]

Bertha Lewis, CEO of Acorn, is proud to be a socialist. She applauds anyone who calls themself a socialist.  But, that’s not the best part: “Any group that says, ‘I’m young, I’m Democratic, and I’m a socialist,’ is all right with me. You know that’s no light thing to do — to actually say, I’m [...]

Obama assured us that although he opposed everything Bush had done for national security for the previous eight years, he would be strong on national defense.  Now, this is how things shaped up in just one week while I was on vacation. Obama tells the world he won’t use nukes unless attacked by nukes. Al [...]

Today two women blew themselves up in a subway in Moscow.  They killed 37 unsuspecting innocent people who had nothing to do with their gripes. Wanna guess what their motivation was?  Their religion? So, of course, the FBI raids a Chrisitan militia in Michigan.  No one is sure why at this point. Somehow I just [...]

President Obama won a Nobel Peace Prize.  Although some are scratching their heads over why, I’m not.  It’s quite obvious and the Nobel peeps even said why: “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples” Some were somewhat dubious of his accomplishments: “Frankly to be nominated after he has been in [...]

For the last eight years, I had to endure about every conceivable conspiracy theory mankind could create about why George Bush took out Saddam Hussein.  The most popular, everyone surely remembers, was the oil thing.  People just blindly accepted the fact that Iraq was all about oil.  Even though, of course, we never got any [...]

The last couple of days have pretty well illustrated the Obama/Pelosi administration’s stance on national defense.  Obama promised the voters he’d be firm on national defense, and he is.  In almost simultaneous moves, Obama has expressed concern about Iran developing nuclear weapons: Obama is so concerned about the threat of Iran’s nuclear weapons program he [...]

All I’ve heard since last week was how the woefully underfunded Cash for Clunkers program needed another $2 billion to keep it going.  This had to be done RIGHT NOW since it was such a wildly successful program.  I heard more than one analyst tell me it was a key cog to kicking the economy [...]
