When Obama was elected, and when democrats got majority control, all we heard was how “transparent” they will be.  The public will be given 48 hours to review bills before being voted on, and Obama told us that his administration will be “transparent”.  Yeah right. Democratic leaders are looking to forgo a formal, public conference to merge the House and Senate's health care overhaul bills, giving Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the White ...

I was very upset at the so-called health care “reform” bill that was shoved through this past weekend.  It was done in a real shady manner, in the middle of the night on a weekend so media coverage would be limited, and so that protests would be difficult to mount.  That is the pure cowardice of Nancy Pelosi, who in my opinion is the worst politician in history.  The bill which barely passed with just a couple of votes, had to be rammed through because they know the American peopl...

Not sure if they actually ate dinner, but the visitor list that was just released looks like the usual Obama cronies. Who is at the top of the list?  No other than the thug organizing leader of the SEIU. Lets see who else we have . One thing is clear: Service Employees International Union President Andrew Stern holds sway at the White House, where he’s listed for 22 visits—the top number on the logs. Visitors in the top 10 also include former Clinton White House Chief ...

For you poll lovers. In fact, the 9-point drop in the most recent quarter is the largest Gallup has ever measured for an elected president between the second and third quarters of his term, dating back to 1953. One president who was not elected to his first term -- Harry Truman -- had a 13-point drop between his second and third quarters in office in 1945 and 1946. http://www.gallup.com/poll/123806/Obama-Quarterly-Approval-Average-Slips-Nine-Points.aspx

We have a severe conflict going on in Afghanistan, which Obama appears ready to run from, and today this is discovered . The military general credited with capturing Saddam Hussein and killing the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, says he has spoken with President Obama only once since taking command in Afghanistan. "I’ve talked to the president, since I’ve been here, once on a VTC [video teleconferece]," Gen. Stanley McChrystal told CBS reporter Dav...

Only a liberal can explain their wacky logic.  Protesting a “war” they voted for, it’s no problem to shout, scream, and do whatever else the loony left does.  However, when people peacefully protest healthcare events, they are labeled as a “mob”, and un-American.   And while you hear the liberals whine about someone calling them a Nazi, lets take a look back at the not so distant past.  The left is the definition of hypocrites. ...

These people really can't go too much lower.  The funny thing is that the left doesn't realize America isn't buying their nonsense this time.

At last count Obama has appointed 32 "Czars" to his so-called administration.  How many do we need? "By some accounts, Obama has nearly three dozen czars in his administration, managing everything from closing the Guantanamo Bay detention facility to ending the genocide in Darfur. "The accumulation of power by White House staff can threaten the Constitutional system of checks and balances," Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W. Va., wrote in a letter to Obama."

When Bush was President, not a day went by when someone in the media would highlight when Bush’s poll numbers dropped by even one point.  Before the election, we couldn’t hear enough from the left and the media on how “popular” Obama was.  Polls were everything to these people, but now, not so much.  Why? The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 30% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing ...

I know some people have a hard time figuring out the Obama job numbers, mainly because most of it is pure BS which the media never calls him on. Here is a video which should help.

I guess this is more of the “change you can believe” in, but yet, I don’t think most people believe it yet.  Obama Justice Department Decision Will Allow Non-Citizens to Register to Vote in Georgia Decision Bars Georgia From Continuing Voter Verification Process Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel issued the following statement following the U.S. Department of Justice’s denial of preclearance of Georgia’s voter verification process Atlanta -...
