Obama Drilling Ban Just Another Political Move
By Carole on Jun 4, 2010 | Comment »
In keeping with their "never let a crisis go to waste" policy, the Obama administration has used the BP oil spill as the rationale for blocking all new offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. And in keeping with the administration's record of wreaking economic havoc and killing jobs with every new policy, the ban could cost the state of Louisiana up to 6,000 jobs this month, 10,000 jobs over the next few months and up to 20,000 existing and new jobs by next year.

And the next few weeks promise to be very busy ones for President Barack Obama:
A Big Bad Day For Harry Reid
By Carole on Mar 5, 2010 | Comment »
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) started the day the way he has for months; as one of the driving forces pushing the hugely unpopular and obscenely expensive Obamacare bill through the legislative process. Then he took a break to address the issue that the American people actually care about: jobs. That should have made his day a little brighter, right? Not exactly.
