This Train is Bound for Wreckage, This Train…
Wooooo Woooooo! *kaCRASH* Fifty-six percent (56%) of voters nationwide now oppose the health care reform proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s the highest level of opposition yet measured and includes 44% who are Strongly Opposed. Just 43% now favor the proposal, including 24% who Strongly Favor it. … If the plan passes, 26% [...]
President Finally Calls Someone a “Jackass” Who Isn’t Republican!
I think maybe the President should have stuck to his guns on this: President Obama was giving an interview today to CNBC. An ABC reporter overheard the president call Kanye West a “jackass” for his dramatic interruption of the VMA’s Sunday night to praise a Beyonce video that did not win. Said ABC reporter immediately [...]
AIP Blogging: Which Promise is the Real One?
My latest post at the AIP blog asks which presidential promise we should believe: the one that says “nobody” will take our health insurance plan from us or the one that says the government won’t force us to change. Watching the President flip from one promise to the other, depending on what sort of audience [...]
It’s A New Presidential Speech Game: Spot the Lie
I just thought of a new game you can play when reading a Barack Obama speech. It’s called “Spot the Lie”. I don’t recommend you play it as a drinking game or, if you do, you only take two or three paragraphs of any one speech. If you decide, for some reason possibly involving a [...]
Remembering 9/11: A Tale of Two Government Agencies
The President has issued his 9/11 proclamation and, as you might expect, it’s not very much. We should remember that something happened today, something the President couldn’t quite describe but that was really sad, then we should do out and do community service. As we pay tribute to loved ones, friends, fellow citizens, and all [...]
Another Boring Presidential Speech Enlivened by a Shouted Truth
I didn’t get to watch the President’s speech tonight, so I missed the fireworks. But I’ll get to that in a minute. From what I can tell, the President gave his usual good speech full of the usual platitudes, laugh lines (well, laugh lines for those of us who are willing to admit he’s talking [...]
The President Puts the “Suffer” in “Suffer the Children…”
Barack Obama will bore our schoolchildren for 18 minutes today with a speech wherein he will don his Big Government Daddy outfit and admonishes them to stay in school and work hard and other similar uplifting sentiments. The President apparently doesn’t know much about the attention span of the average school-aged child, which is surprising [...]
Maybe We’d Believe Him if He’d Uncross His Fingers When He Denies Being a Truther
So Van Jones, President Obama’s chosen “Green Czar” has come out with a non-apology apology (you know, one of those “Sorry I ticked you off” things) and, more importantly has denied agreeing with any part of a 9/11 Truther petition on which his name appeared. That might — might — be believable if he hadn’t [...]
