A Heartbeat from the Oval Office
Joe Biden, our current Vice-President and the anti-Dick Cheney, has managed to prove his level of competence once again.
Yup, this guy is more of a bullet proof vest than Dan Quayle ever was.
Danish Broadcasting Corporation Show Host Analyzes Obama’s Rhetoric
Given his Harvard Law Degree, he should notice that his speech writers have gotten really, really lazy.
It also could be that he has noticed, but just doesn’t care. Our Dear Leader is probably more worried about when his next golf game is coming up.
Can we learn from history?

First, let’s review a post I made back in July 2008:
Oil down, dollar up since Bush rescinded drilling restrictions
Remember the leftist mantra about how “if we started drilling now, it wouldn’t effect prices for 10 years.” Well, they got that wrong too, just like Barak Obama’s predictions about the Troop Surge in Iraq. 100%, flat out wrong again. Yes, there is a pattern here.
Then, lets review the current President’s energy policy of restricting domestic energy production and the results of those polices, i.e. steadily rising gas prices and the dollar losing value.
I’m pretty sure those lefties who called GW Bush “the worst President ever” got it seriously wrong. Our Dear Leader has clearly claimed that title.
What is the left’s problem with Free Speech
Seriously, why does the left uniformly try to silence anyone who dares to disagree with them?
Latest example, democrat Senator Carl Levin of Michigan, who wants conservative voices removed from the public airways.
Just why are those on the left afraid of the free and open exchange of ideas? Is it because they know their policies would not survive in a truly open and honest exchange of ideas?
Probably.
Quote of the Day
Filed under: Our Dear Leader, Politics, When democrats attack
“Barack Obama has been a terrible president in many ways, but perhaps his most poisonous legacy is his cynical fomenting of partisan hate to advance his own political interests. After three years, we have learned that ‘hope’ is not the word that we should associate with the Obama presidency.”

I’m thinking no. It’s a leftist insulting a conservative. No foul in the liberal media’s view.
The BCC reports on the effect the Obama economy is having on Americans.
… Tent cities have sprung up in and around at least 55 American cities – they represent the bleak reality of America’s poverty crisis.
… One of the largest tented camps is in Florida and is now home to around 300 people. Others have sprung up in New Jersey and Portland.
… There are an estimated 5,000 people living in the dozens of camps that have sprung up across America
The largest camp, Pinella’s Hope in central Florida – a region better known for the glamour of Disneyworld – is made up of neat rows of tents spread out across a 13-acre plot.
… The stark reality is that many of them are people who very recently lived comfortable middle-class lives
For them, the economic downturn came too fast and many have been forced to trade their middle-class homes for lives in shelters, motels and at the far extreme, tented encampments.
WHOM DO YOU BELIEVE? HBO OR GALLUP?
Mary Katharine Ham on leftist hypocrisy.
Cindy Sheehan on the democrat’s dishonest use of the anti-war movement for their political gain.
I’m betting that you never heard one peep from the liberal media about her being arrested, twice, protesting outside the White House, after GW Bush left and Barack Hussein Obama moved in.

Factual Observations about the US Federal Debt
Filed under: economy, Obama Economy, Our Dear Leader, Politics
Let’s look at this data and what it shows.
• The vaunted “Clinton Surplus” was, in fact, the work of a GOP House that was willing to fight for fiscal sanity (current Ohio Governor John Kasich was one of the architects of the surplus); in addition, two events conspired toturbocharge the economy — in spite of Clinton, not because of him.
• Liberals like to talk about Reagan’s deficits, but they ignore the fact that every budget Reagan ever sent to the Democrat-controlled House was declared “dead on arrival”. Reagan supported a Balanced Budget Amendment, sought to eliminate useless agencies like the Department of Education, and otherwise believed in the U.S. spending within its means.
• Since the Democrats took control of Congress in 2007, they have jammed through the most fiscally irresponsible spending programs in world history (I won’t use the word “budget”, because they’ve refused to propose a budget for roughly 1,029 days).
In short, Democrats never propose less spending than Republicans — unless we’re talking about defense. And now, after four years of Democrat-controlled spending, the federal government is forced to borrow 40 cents for every dollar it spends.
Back in 2008, Barack Obama was all for oil pipelines
Now he is endangering America’s energy future and killing jobs by blocking oil pipelines.
