The Blowoff [motionview]
I’ve thought that the birth certificate issue was a political broad axe, created by Axelrod and wielded by the campaign to cut off discussion of the man who is Barack Obama. The core Alinskyite political tool is ridicule. The press conference this morning was the money shot in a multi-year induced ridicule campaign, designed to conflate and discredit people who want to know anything about the mind, the thinking, the
"Obamaflation Arrives"
Jeffrey Lord, American Spectator: Obamaflation has arrived, and this is what it looks like. Milk. A gallon of skim. At the local Giant in Central Pennsylvania: January 11, 2011: $3.20 February 28, 2011: $3.24 March 6, 2011: $3.34 April 23. 2011: $3.48 That would be a 28 cent rise in a mere 102 days, from January to April of this year. The third year of the Obama misadventure. Then there’s
"Polling Entitlement Reform"
A plurality of Americans are down with Ryan’s Medicare reforms: The CBS News/New York Times poll is thought to skew a little to the left due to its tendency to oversample Democrats. That’s why Washington insiders sat up and took notice on Good Friday, when the poll reported that a plurality of Americans actually approve of GOP Rep. Paul Ryan’s Medicare reforms. A startling 47% approved of changing Medicare from
The Big Dig
No, not literally. But, well — Yes, you read that right. Democrats in Massachusetts admitted that Scott Walker had the right idea all along. In fact, the Commonwealth believes that the ability to manage health care coverage will save taxpayers $100 million in the next budget year. And in another nod to Wisconsin, the House held their vote at 11:30 last night, hoping to avoid the kind of demonstrations that
"President Obama releases long-form birth certificate"
And the truth shall set you free! Politico: Obama said in a brief appearance before the cameras Wednesday morning that he decided on the release because the conspiracy theory over where he was born had eclipsed the debate on the budget. “We do not have time for this kind of silliness,” Obama told reporters. “I’ve got better stuff to do.” Like golf. And campaign. And throw parties. And golf. And
"Obama targets oil companies as gas price soar"
True. And predictable: the administration inflates the dollar, closes off drilling, and makes sure we’re importing 70% of our fuel, which is tied to the inflated dollar. This produces “record profits” for the oil industry, allowing the administration to scapegoat them and peg them as a target of class warfare. To punish this supposed avarice, he takes away their “subsidies” (read: tax breaks; read: business incentives) and transfers those to,
"Double-Dip in Housing, Rising Inflation, and Soaring Debt Disprove ‘Stimulus,’ Threaten Ship of State"
True. Now what?
