Not too long ago we had this flap: State workers made repeated shopping trips to Albany-area Walmarts to purchase supplies for the Executive Mansion, spending about $300 in recent months, according to billing records reviewed by the Daily News Wednesday. “A conscious effort is being made to spend as little money as possible,” said Franklin [...]

Nothing Obama does seems to go without some element of confusion, crossed signals, or flat out apparent “misinformation”. This week is no different. On August 4, 2012, Reuters ran a LONG description of Obama’s birthday events. Down to the fact that no details would be given of what he and Mrs. Obama planned to do [...]

During the Vice-President Debate held in Danville, KY last week, Joe Biden claimed, rather emphatically, that since Iran had no way of delivering a nuclear device, their nuclear program was not an immediate threat. If that’s the case, then you have to wonder what Victoria Nuland is talking about: In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria [...]

When Obama nominated Sonia Sotomayor, Obama said he wanted someone who: “combined intellect and empathy—the ability to understand the troubles of everyday Americans.” Sotomayor had already gained a certain notoriety for stating: “I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion [...]

Yesterday the headline was jobless claims much higher than expected at 480,000. That helped lead to a sell-off on the markets, pushing Dow below 10,000, again. So, imagine everyone’s surprise when we get today’s headline: Jobless Rate Falls Unexpectedly to 9.7 Percent in January Now, that means more people are filing claims, but fewer are [...]

The Obamas are trying to send a message to the world with their Christmas tree. I’m not terribly sure what it is. First you’ve got Chairman Mao. Then you’ve got Hedda Lettuce. Mao wouldn’t have liked Hedda too much. He particularly loathed gays. He felt they were the product of capitalism. He killed them. Millions [...]

President Obama has decided the unemployment situation is bad. He has a point. It’s now as bad as it was when Reagan fixed Carter’s mess. So, he decided to have a get-together with minds that he thinks will fix the problem. Now, in my relatively simple world, the best way to cure unemployment is to [...]

Fox says: White House Takes Aim at Critics of New Breast Cancer Guidelines White House says: The hope appears to be that some media outlet will give them unchecked airtime under the banner of covering the “controversy.” Today they’re going back to that playbook again, and Fox News obliges them with the headline “Critics See [...]

A fellow had this to say, among other things: ….we had already seen two tax cuts sold on massively, easily documented false pretenses; a war launched with constant innuendo about a Saddam-Osama link that was clearly false, and with claims about WMDs that were clearly shaky from the beginning and had proved to be entirely [...]

It’s telling me that the policies of Jamie Gorelick and Bill Clinton/Janet Reno are back. That was my opinion January 5 of this year when Obama put Leon Panetta in charge of the Central Intelligence Agency. As of now, the Central Intelligence Agency will not be allowed to glean intelligence from war prisoners. The Federal [...]
