Obama puts political correctness ahead of economics

President Obama reportedly will call on Congress tonight in his State of the Union address to make "investments" in America's future by appropriating large new sums of money for education, alternative energy and infrastructure to create what he often calls the jobs of the 21st century. If you feel like you've heard this song from this chief executive before, it's because you have, quite often in fact. Read More

Obama team uses flimflammery to inflate job numbers

Are you a financial adviser? You may not know it, but you've got a green job. Are you a wholesale buyer? You've got a green job, too. Or maybe you're a newspaper reporter. You, too, have a green job -- at least according to the Obama administration. Read More

Noemie Emery: McCain actually won big in presidential election

Last Tuesday, the Republican ticket of 2008 had a very good night, just as the ticket that happened to beat it had one of the worst of their lives. While President Obama hit the low forties, and chirpy Vice President Biden was labeled delusional, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., wiped out his foe by a 2-to-1 margin and Sarah Palin established herself as a kingmaker of genius, with a 2-to-1 record in recent endorsements and some rising stars to her name.

Biden provides an excuse for the stimulus by re-inventing what happened

Vice President Joe Biden said this weekend that the president wanted a bigger stimulus package, but he had to shrink it down in order to get Republican votes. Uh, no. Here’s what the president actually said just before the $787 billion package (since adjusted upward to $860 billion) passed: “Broadly speaking, the package is the right size, it is the right scope, it has the right priorities…” Read More

Sunday Talk Show Guests Debate Whether Tea Party is Racist

Democrats and Republicans Sunday squared off on whether they believe there are elements of racism in the Tea Party. When asked about the Tea Party movement on CNN’s State of the Union, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said there “are some members who have used the Tea Party… to exacerbate racial tensions in this country.” He cited “virulent” flyers directed at some members “that have clearly referenced race.” Read More

J Street politicizes support of Israel

How does J Street welcome Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to town? By politicizing American support for Israel. In a new ad said to air nationally (on al-Jazeera English maybe?), the group makes a silly attempt to ‘juxtapose’ those who say ‘yes’ to peace with those who say….well, it’s tough to find anyone in the U.S. who opposes peace, so J Street just slanders staunch supporters of Israel whose staunch support offends their delicate sensibilities.
