Obama's Latest Contradiction
By Carole on Feb 6, 2010 | Comment »
Speaking about health care reform at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser Thursday night, President Obama said "And it may be that...if Congress decides we're not going to do it, even after all the facts are laid out, all the options are clear, then the American people can make a judgment as to whether this Congress has done the right thing for them or not." (source) But there's always another day and another contradiction from Mr. Obama.
Exactly Who Does Obama Want To Fight?
By Carole on Jan 15, 2010 | Comment »
Speaking to House Democrats about the health care reform issue Thursday, President Obama declared "If Republicans want to campaign against what we've done by standing up for the status quo... that is a fight I want to have." (source) I'm sure it would be but Republicans are not standing up for the status quo. Perpetuating that lie is what allows the president to pretend there's a fight he can win and that it's only Republicans he's fighting.
Son of Stimulus - This Time It's Personal
By Carole on Jan 4, 2010 | Comment »
When President Obama and the Democrats in Congress pushed through their $787 billion stimulus package early last year it was at least remotely possible they really believed it would stimulate the economy and create jobs. But soon after it was rammed through the legislative process the promises of creating jobs became claims of saving them and the 8% unemployment rate the bill was supposed to prevent skyrocketed to over 10%. Now those same Democrats want to squander even more taxpayer money on a phony job-creating bill.

When it comes to judging President Obama's fist year in office, the American people have a much different view than the president himself. In an interview with his loyal supporter Oprah Winfrey, Mr. Obama gives himself a "good, solid B-plus." Meanwhile in the latest poll, only 44% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's performance. (source)
EPA's Endangerment Finding Endangers The Economy
By Carole on Dec 7, 2009 | Comment »
Forget any agreement that could come out of Copenhagen, the Obama administration is trying to further destroy the US economy with an endangerment finding by the EPA. An announcement is expected by the Environmental Protection Agency on Monday that greenhouse gases are endangering people's health and must be regulated. (source) Such a finding could be used to force businesses to make costly changes without the need for any pesky laws to actually make their way through Congress.
