Where public policy meets common sense
Posted in Obama, Revolutionary Reform, civil liberties on Jan 7th, 2012
President Obama signed the NDAA bill into law giving the U.S. military new and very broad arrest and detention powers. Americans across the country plan to protest the bill that allows people to be detained indefinitely without access to an attorney or a trial by jury. Indefinitely means they could be held for life. Amendments [...]

Posted in Jobs, National GOP, Obama on Oct 17th, 2011
President Obama finally admitted that the GOP has a jobs plan at the beginning of his latest bus tour. Naturally, he panned the plan as letting Wall Street do whatever they wanted to take advantage of the current movement. Previously, the President had been in denial that the GOP had a plan. ”They have no [...]

So you aren’t better off than you were for years ago, but I am trying hard. Sounds like a great campaign plan to me. Bush messed it up so badly it is going to take more than 4 years to fix it, say his supporters. He claims to be making steady progress. I am the underdog [...]

This article from the Foreign press is the best that I have read recently which explains the President’s disconnect. I especially love this quote. But Mr Obama repeats the mistake he made in this summer’s debt ceiling debate – he offers few specifics as to how any of this would work fiscally. Without these specifics, [...]
Posted in Obama, immigration on Sep 20th, 2011
The Obama Administration is putting the Bush Administration to shame. The Obama administration has recently deported its 1 millionth illegal. The official count is 1,006,000. The Bush administration had only 1,057,000 the entire 8 years. In unrelated news, the President now has only a 48% approval from Hispanics and has not gained among immigration hardliners put off by his accommodating rhetoric.

President Obama is a very well spoken individual, but will his own words haunt him next year?
Sometimes you really don’t want what you asked for. All year people on the Hill asked for Presidential leadership on the deficit. Now just before the Super Committee meets on one of the most important tasks facing the nation, President Obama spread Kerosene and lit the match. It seems like the Miranda Lambert approach to [...]

Update: Only 2 hours left to submit your question so I am moving this to the top. I have accepted an invitation to participate in a Conference Call on the President’s jobs bill from the White House offered to random local officials. I am of course honored. The question is in the unlikely event that [...]

If there is nothing controversial in this, why does he need 43 minutes to convince everyone? He says everything is paid for. We know that we need jobs. Will his proposal do it? What are your thoughts? Be sure to visit the previous post if you have a question you would love the President to [...]

Did the Obama Administration dig up a little known law called, “The Lacey Act,” to let Gibson know, who’s is charge? The Lacey Act of 1900, named after Iowa Congressman, John Lacey, prohibits interstate trade in wildlife, fish, plants and wood products. Gibson Guitars uses Rosewood on the frets of their Gibson’s Hummingbird acoustic guitar [...]

I know you read them too. Obama has a secret plan to Islamize America by the end of his second term. Why isn’t John Boehner investigating the serial forger (birth certificate) in the White House? Obama (who doesn’t even want to jail terrorists) has a secret plan to round up conservatives into FEMA camps located [...]
Posted in Deficit, Obama, Tea Parties on Aug 12th, 2011
Obama refuses or is incapable of leading and instead has decided to play the, “blame game.” After wearing out his welcome with the American people by blaming Bush for all his woes, he has chosen a new target, the Tea Party. Obama’s lack of any presidential quality in handling the debt crisis shows just what [...]

Is the current economic melt down leading us to the verge of tyranny ? I have never been one of those who has encouraged people to hoard food and water for the coming apocalypse. I have always called on citizens to get more involved in the political system to bring about the change [...]
Posted in City of Dover, Obama, Tributes on Aug 9th, 2011
The 30 bodies of the troops slain this weekend arrived in Dover, Monday. Today, the President did what he does so well in his role as Commander in Chief, give due respect to the dead and comfort to the families. In that, we join him.

Now they are supporting President Obama in 2012. Communist Party USA. He appointed self professed Marxist and a Mao admirer so it seems like a good bet for them. They say they are disappointed they haven’t got everything they wanted, but the Democrats are the best bet for moving forward.
Posted in Budget, Election 2012, Obama on Aug 2nd, 2011
Both sides took heat from their political base. It is good on balance for the country. For the first time since Gingrich and Kasich, the debate is on how to restrain spending not how to increase it. You can’t crash diet and lose 50 pounds overnight and be healthy. You can lose 50 pounds over [...]
Tax revenues are their lowest a percentage of GDP in 61 years, but President Obama said tax rates are their lowest since 1950 in yesterday’s twitter hall. That is a distinction worth mentioning because policy is being based upon it. The fact is that under Reagan and Bush 41, rates were lower and we collected [...]
Read this National Journal Article. With Tim Geithner hinting at leaving the administration, it raises a question– where is the economic team? Two vacancies on the Fed, multiple vacancies in Treasury, quoting the MSNBC link there are also vacancies in “Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Federal Housing Finance Agency, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, [...]

What interests me is that in May 2003, I thought we had Bush/Cheney. Why does the committee not mention Vice President Biden? Are they keeping their options open or is it just a formality?

George Weigel has written a little noticed but profound piece on the weltanshauungof the Democrats since the New Left challenged the “Truman/Acheson/Kenndy/Scoop Jackson Democartic consensus, for saking it for a new orthodoxy of very bad ideas promoted by people like Cyrus Vanc and Warren Christopher. Weigel’s full article can be found at http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/263126/how-democrats-view-world-george-weigel?page=1. Briefly, the [...]

So to all of the liberals out there who bought the stupid idea that Obama was going to make us loved by the rest of the world, here is further proof that the Obama U.S. abasement tour meant nothing to those who hate the U.S. On Friday Molotov cocktails were thrown at the U.S. Consulate [...]
Posted in Civility, Election 2012, Ethics, Israel, Mike Huckabee, Obama, Stuff on Mar 2nd, 2011
I have always liked former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee. He’s easy on the ears and has the calming effect of a erudite psychologist; his Southern Baptist charm and sensibilities reveal Huckabee’s small-town cache. Music stars, Hollywood moguls, John Q. Public and of course – politicos of every persuasion – open up to him. However, the [...]
Does anyone remember just last week where Obama and Gibbs told Hosni Mubarek to get out of town by Friday??? Well Mubarek is still there and there are no signs that the 82 year old dictator is getting out soon. It seems that the disastrous foreign policy team of Obama wants to pretend that what [...]

Interestingly our honored and esteemed President (new civility here) could not even endorse $1 in nominal spending cuts outside of the Pentagon let alone the proposal to go back to 2008 non-security discretionary spending levels to address the 14 trillion dollar nightmare scaring the confidence out of the economy. I guess slow growth may with [...]

So concluded the President in his second State of the union speech. He said governing is now a shared responsiblity and outlined a number of goals. It is interesting that he will be out of office before any of them can be reached. 80% of electricity by 2035, The 1st in Science and Math by [...]

President Obama is remaking his image. Instead of being a spend thrift, he is now a wise investor.
