The Resurgence Of Cap & Trade?
By Carole on Mar 11, 2010 | Comment »
Even as the latest poll tells us that 48% of Americans believe that the seriousness of global warming is generally exaggerated (up from 41% just last year), President Obama and a small band of US Senators are still trying to push expensive job killing climate change legislation that puts a first-ever price on carbon emissions.
Obama's Supremely Troubling Transformation
By Carole on Mar 10, 2010 | 1 comment »
Candidate Barack Obama wanted to be a transformative president. Well, he's doing his best to transform some elements of the US government into broken down caricatures of what our founders intended them to be.

In a recent interview Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) was asked about various potential GOP presidential candidates in 2012. One of them was former Florida Governor Jeb Bush about whom the senator said, ""He would be a great president. He'd probably be the best on the list, if he didn't have the Bush name. It may not work in 2012, although the longer Obama is in office the better the Bush name looks." (source)
