President Obama sold himself during the campaign as a Uniter. He was going to be post-partisan. He wasn’t going to demonize his political opponents. He was going to heal the nation and bring us together. Michelle Obama even said that he was going to “heal our souls”. Like most things [...]
It is pretty clear by this time that President Obama’s “stimulus bill” did not work. President Obama will try to salvage it and claim it’s working, or that really it was a two-year project (I don’t remember hearing that at the time), or that it was really only meant to “stabilize” the downturn (his [...]
With word of GM’s Obama-mediated bankruptcy yesterday, a few thoughts came to mind:
- How do you think Ford is feeling right now? Despite having financial trouble only slightly less dire than GM and Chrysler, Ford didn’t beg for a government handout. And, because of that, they will be put at [...]
Dick Cheney is the only Republican putting up a fight against President Obama and the Democrats and he has single-handedly turned the issue of torture against them. They thought they had a winning issue to hurt Republicans with, but now they are the ones being hurt by it. President Obama thought he could [...]
President Obama has been compared to Ronald Reagan in his ability to inspire the nation. It’s true, both men are similar in their ability to inspire, but what they actually inspired in people was vastly different. Simply put, Ronald Reagan inspired people to believe in the greatness of themselves, the individual. Barack [...]
I can’t think of any system that could be more fair or efficient, or just plain better, than the free market. You have many “consumers” and many “producers”. The “producers” are offering their products at a price that will bring about the greatest profits while the “consumers” are looking for the best deal. [...]
I recently finished reading Amity Schlaes book, The Forgotten Man, in which she describes many of the follies of FDR’s handling of the economy during the Great Depression. One point that is made over and over is that FDR was an anti-business President. From establishing the TVA to destroy private utility companies to [...]
What a surprise, the Democrats of the House and Senate adopted Obama’s $3.4 trillion budget blueprint. This is $3.4 Trillion for next year! One-third of this massive budget is being borrowed and no one on the left is even thinking twice about the severe consequences that will come about as a result of this outrageous [...]
President Obama seems to be banking a lot on the power of “moral authority”. He has continually made decisions that will put America on a weaker footing all for the sake of enhancing our moral authority in the world.
He used this argument when he claimed that reducing our nuclear arsenal would give [...]
I know that this topic is an entire week and a half old, but I really needed to write about Carrie Prejean’s answer on the subject of gay marriage at the 2009 Miss USA pageant.
I want to begin by writing that I fully and completely support and agree with Carrie’s answer. Sure, it wasn’t [...]
