The future of healthcare in America thanks to Barack Obama and the Democrats.  You've gotta see this video.

Another must-read from Victor David Hanson ... Obama's record budget deficits could sink his presidency.

Now we're apologizing for global warming. We saved the world from Nazi Germany and the Japanese Empire; we defeated the Soviet Union in the cold war and turned back (until now) the communist threat ... and Hillary Clinton decides to apologize to the world for global warming.

You are going to enjoy this .. from Robert Reich: Tax the wealthy to keep everyone healthy. No, he is not being sarcastic.

Obama's plan to turn our economy around: let's tax small businesses at a 58% tax rate.

As if this was possible .. Barack Obama is well on his way to making the United States an even more undesirable place to do business. How surprising ... a socialist making the country undesirable for business.

Now Obama says that healthcare reform is not just about providing healthcare, it is about restoring economic stability. There's that word again .. stability.

The Democrats have been pressed to pass their healthcare bill by the August recess, but it looks like Obama is backing off on that deadline.

The Obama administration is considering creating a special unit of professional interrogators to handle terrorist suspects. That's fine, so long as Jack Bauer is in charge.

Chuck Schumer says that the CBO estimate on the Democrat's healthcare bill is "wacky." That's an easy way to dismiss reality.

What do these "wacky" CBO estimates say? That the health care overhauls released to date would increase, not reduce, the burgeoning long-term health costs facing the government.

Remember that according to Barack Obama, these terrorist bombings in Jakarta are just "man-caused disasters."

What does the government define as a "clunker" for their "cash-for-clunkers" federal program?

The Obama administration may be considering rent-to-own plans in help aid the housing crisis.

The UK's Times Online says that "America's white men are back and raging." Who are these "white men"? Why that would be "America's most ferocious right-wing broadcasters."

Authorities in Honduras seized computers of former president Zelaya which contained "official" election results for his constitutional referendum that was never held. In other words, he was going to change the law no matter what. THAT'S the democracy Barack Obama believes in.

Fox News analyzed the distribution of federal stimulus money and found that the states hardest hit by the recession received the least money.

Are the American people waking up and starting to realize that Barack Obama's plans for our economic recovery are not working?


On that same note, even some Democrats in Congress are starting to grow leery of Barack Obama and his agenda.

Former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson threatened to remove management and the board of Bank of America if CEO Ken Lewis pulled the plug on the Merrill Lynch merger last fall.

Have we become a country of politicized capitalism?

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is spending $60,000 of its stimulus money to post road signs stating that these projects were funded by the federal stimulus money.

  • Graphs get the wrong story
    Refer to this link: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,533841,00.html

    Remove the outlier in each graph, and the graphs pretty much no longer tell the story the columnist thought he was telling. This type of force-fit linear analysis does little for advancing critical insight. The first graph shows that there is no real favoritism being demonstrated. The columnist is just wrong. But so is Obama. No one is really being helped more than anyone else.

    However, if you look at the last three graphs, the real story is that the stimulus is having little effect. There is virtually no response in unemployment and bankruptcy for stimulus dollars spent; there is only a slight response to foreclosure rate.

    The real story is that the stimulus isn’t working.
  • British angry white men
    Jake, you are right. Just read Rense.com & VDare. The British national party merely tries to honor & validate what is vital to continued civilization in the UK & is officially harassed for alleged hate--not for overt actual, physical criminal acts but formally condemned DECLARED OPINION. What ever merits such a policy may have in a legitimate anti-communist authoritarian state where truly pernicious ideas are subject to punishment it collapses when good people are marginalized for remaining after imposition of the policy the same sort of people they were prior. I am not about to adjust my attitude to suit characters unfit to scrub my toilets. I would have been a far nicer person since early November 1968 had I just got my way & seen George Wallace elected president & I could have retained my straight white protestant male ethno-centric, patriarchal, hetero-centric exploiter-oppressor privilege--& NO, I am not being facetious.
  • Angry White Man
    There are a lot of Angry White Man types in the UK too, they sit around sipping their tea and shaking their umbrellas while cursing “bloody ‘el, chap!”.
  • angry white man
    How is this for white self righteous anger: straight, nordic, protestant, lower middle class, involuntarily downward mobile-economically marginal patriarchal, homo-phobic, ESSENTIALLY psychologically authoritarian-NOMINALLY libertarian American man with massive sense of right populist intitlement GLAD America is in such trouble ever since George Wallace's decisive humiliation by the stupid electorate in the 1968 general election so when the tipping point is reached no restraint will be observed in the ensuing up roar.

    ALSO borrowing significantly from Carleton Putnam's joint volumes Race & Reason: A Yankee View & Race & Reality: A Search for Solutions--yes, I own these books, dweebs, & thousands of others--I invoke against Obama's expression of pride in his negro component the doctrine of hypo-descent: that the dominant racial group in a society determines individuals' race roles & any one of mixed race is assigned BY THE DOMINANT RACE membership in the sub-ordinate race; Obama has nothing relevant or cogent to say about it & his expressions of pride in his minority component are highly provocative & resented reproaches to the dominant race. Quite apart from his predictable ideologic odium THAT is more than enough to rebuke him. Are you monitoring this, Eric Holder?
  • Oh dear Frank, the RACE card!
    Frank...Frank...Frank. Put up or shut up! What statements by these Republican Senators would be considered as “racist”? Since when are we classifying citizens of Puerto Rico as being a separate race? Furthermore, please get over the lame game of “Blame Bush”; he is not the current president and not an issue.
  • Hillary's Apology
    Absolutely in line with the Obama doctrine: Get on your knees and grovel with outward apologies.

    Results: None.

    This clown circus of an administration has to be stopped...soon.
  • You forgot one
    3mbw,

    You forgot one headline in your "current" ones. VP Biden says the economy is worse than they anticipated during the election.

    hmmm.

    BTW have YOU tried to get a loan lately. Not as easy as you might think.

  • ObamaCare Video
    This video should be seen by everyone. It scared the he## out of me.
  • While We're Talking About Apologies
    I would like to get this off my chest.

    I'm sorry for that whole Cancer thing. Who would have thought it would go this far. So, I just want to apologize for Cancer right now.

    Additionally, If the Earth's temperature rises more than 2 Centigrade, you know who to see.
    The buck stops here.
  • fkaner@comcast.net
    What,no reading assignments on the captured American soldier in Afgahn?
    How come no reading assignments on how the racists white senators made complete jack-as*'s out of themselves at the Sotomayor hearings?
    I guess when you spend more time on vacation than at your 5 hour a day job, it's hard to keep up with the news that's flushing the country down the crap*er at ever faster!
    Well we're 9 days into the top half of the 2nd inning of Obama's Admin. Just think this time in 2001 Bush was packing up to head off to crawford Texas for a month long vacation consisting off clearing brush, riding his bicycle and just plain relaxing after a grueling and exhaustive 180 days in office!
  • Road Signs
    The road signs are REQUIRED by that same "stimulus" legislation.
    Dumb a$$ masses squared!
  • Angry White Men
    Isn't that a song by 50 cent?
  • Washington Post - Cash for Clunkers article
    That article is a load of crap. Yes, the cash for clunkers law applies to cars that one would NOT consider to be a clunker.

    However, no one HAS to trade in their so-call clunker for $4500. In other words, one of those Audi's or BMW's that COULD be traded in for $4500 probably won't. Why? Because if the car is worth more than $4500, then they'll get a better trade in and it does NOT have to be destroyed.

    That article was just ridiculous. No one's going to trade in a V12 7 series BMW for $4500 no matter how a law "classifies" it.

    Guess what? If you have a 2008 Ferrari that was wrecked but still drivable and you want it legal in Georgia, you still have to pay advalorem taxes on that at the same rate as someone with a 2008 Ferrari that is garaged having full value.
  • "politicized capitalism": A rose by any other name....
    Look at this description of "politicized capitalism", and what you will discover is the economic arm of fascism...
  • Nancy Pelosi for Czar
    "special unit of professional interrogators"? I thought that was the job of the CIA and FBI? So now we are going to create a special unit? Did we not learn anything from the lack of cohesiveness of the intelligence community back on 9/11? Let's create a new unit...maybe even add another czar (SPUIC). Wait, aren't enhanced interrogations one of the things Obama decried in his campaign? Next he'll be "bombing villages and killing innocent women and children"...oh wait, he's already done that too.
  • Special Interrogators
    Following the current administration's previous selection of personnel the new interrogators will be form Monty Python’s "NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!"
    "Now, Cardinal - the rack!"
    (Which of course is a plastic-coated dish-drying rack.)
  • Re: Authorities in Honduras seized computers of former president Zelaya which contained "official" election results for his constitutional referendum that was never held.
    Are they sure Zelaya just didn't have them on loan from ACORN?

    They should dig deeper, they might have the results for the next couple of US elections.

    (Snicker), That's for Copyleft
  • Special Unit of Interrogators
    "The Obama administration is considering creating a special unit of professional interrogators to handle terrorist suspects."

    I thought we already had one called the CIA?

    I'm with Neal, this sounds like a new hit TV drama.
  • Angry White Men
    Let us play a game. How many things can you find wrong in the "Angry White Men" article?
  • New Least Favorite Person
    Robert Reich. "Those opposing a public option ... are doing so out of economic self-interest." Its not as if economic self interest is one of the core values and guiding principles of our society.
  • Cash for clunkers
    So, you have a gas guzzling car, but instead of meeting the limit of 18 mpg, your vehicle gets 19 - 21 mpg. How to fix this? Simple. Just put gas with ethanol blends in your tank. Not only will it decrease your mileage by about 3 mpg, it will also destroy your engine if you use it long enough. Really!

    Just google "ethanol destroys engines" and get educated.

    I think this is why the government is pushing ethanol blends up to 15% for ALL gas. Yeah, the electric car will be forced upon us whether we like it or not.

    OH! And forget about recreational pleasures -boating, snowmobiling, even if you find pleasure in cutting your grass with a gas powered engine, or weed wacker....Electric is the way of the future and under Obama's plan, we are going to be paying through the nose for electricity! This is a win-win situation for Obama and his agenda!
  • apples & oranges
    Unfortunately the article mentioning the 58% tax rate is comparing apples and oranges. It compares the 35% federal rate with a 58% total rate. To get that 58% total you have to be in a state that's already charging income tax, around 7%. So the proper comparison would be with a 42% rate, rather than 35%.
  • Highway Signs
    We have the same signs here in GA. There is one going up 575 @ 75. I want my money back.
  • Politicized Capitalism
    Isn't that simply a euphemism for Mussolini style fascism?
  • RE: Obama's plan to turn our economy around: let's tax small businesses at a 58% tax rate.
    Can we finally declare Fauxbama as certifiably insane and be done with it?

    Remember this quotation:
    Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
    Albert Einstein

    Doesn't Fauxbama fit the bill?

    politicized capitalism? Isn't that the same thing fascism?

  • Cash for "clunkers" is really....
    Cash for "clunkers" is really nothing more than the government subsidizing trade in of a vehicle.

    Georgia is doing the same thing!

    I wonder how long it will take Obama to denounce those suicide bombers, assuming he will?
  • Web Wench.
    Thanks for the "thought provoking" topics last week Web Wench. You did a fine job.

    Welcome back Neal. You were missed.
  • Economic Recovery
    Last years headlines: Credit Crunch, Worst since the Great Depression, No end in sight, Stock Market declines again with no bottom in sight, housing down, ete

    Headlines now:

    Credit Crunch is a term that is almost gone, No more talk about the Great Depression or a future one, talk about recovery sooner than expected, Companies topping expected results, "unexpected" gains in housing. Even some of the most bearish of the economic media have gotten more optimistic.

    That, compared with what I see on a local level indicate that our economy is showing signs of improvement.

    Now imagine what the headlines would be if we had another 4 years of Cheney/Bush. Stock Market at 2000?
  • Idolizing Obamuppets
    President Obamuppets tax plan will backfire and effectively kill small business in America. However I don't think this will be enough to wake up the idolizing,indoctrinated and indigent that think he's such a cool guy. We're doomed with this power puppet at the helm.
