I’ve been reading some stories lately that tell me that all is not peaches and cream between our soon to be President and the Congressmen who we’ve been told exist to do his bidding. Egos have been bruised. Feelings hurt. A torrid love-affair between veteran politicians and crusty journalists and the brash novice who led [...]

Nancy Thorner espies the real purpose of P-E Obama’s big government giveaway program.
In truth, behind the promise of jobs and an economic rebound seems to be [a] political motive that seeks to build an enduring and a lasting Democrat majority through the doling out of government money to Democrat mayors, Labor Unions, environmental groups, etc. [...]

President-elect Barack Obama has offered the job of surgeon general to Dr. Sanjay Gupta, the neurosurgeon and correspondent for CNN and CBS, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation.
Well, at least the guy knows something about medicine, which is more than anyone can say about the guy whom the President-elect wants to head [...]

President-Elect Obama is ready to drop the Powerball of Pork he’s calling a stimulus package onto Congress for passage, but first, he has to try to woo Republicans to his side or it won’t pass.
First, let me stipulate that no matter how big the stimulus package is, it won’t work. It didn’t work when [...]
