Swift Boated Again

Ben Smith (POLITICO) has a short article concerning a Swift Boat veteran.

I’m sure John Kerry won’t be happy about it.

POTUS Tempted

Oh, yeah. He is tempted alright. He’d very much like to do legislation on his own. Watch the video (past this link) and pay attention to the audience reaction.

United We Stand

What Boehner Said To The Caucus
from The Washington Post,
Jennifer Rubin

I went on “Fox News Sunday” this morning because it was the most effective way to tell everyone where things stand. It boils down to this: The president wants his $2.4 trillion debt limit increase all at once, without any guarantees that we’re going to cut more than $2.4 trillion in spending. The administration says they have to have it all upfront so we don’t have to deal with this again until after the next election. You heard the president say that himself on TV the other night.

Congress Writes the Laws

Apparently, that’s what Boehner told the POTUS.

“As I read the Constitution, the Congress writes the laws and you get to decide what you want to sign,” Boehner said, recounting what he told the president, according to two sources.

Reaganomics versus Obamanomics

In their own words.

Huffin And Puffin Then Leavin The Debt Talks

Judge for yourselves. Apparently, the debt talks haven’t gone too well today.

“Eric, don’t call my bluff,” the president said, warning Cantor that he would take his case “to the American people.” He told Cantor that no other president — not Ronald Reagan, the president said — would put up with the treatment he was getting from the House majority leader.

Democratic sources dispute Cantor’s version of Obama’s walk out, but all sides agree that the two had a blow up. The sources described Obama as “impassioned” but said he didn’t exactly storm out of the room.

But then, here’s the scoop on just how, exactly, the Treasury has to operate should the debt ceiling NOT be raised.

Yeah. Pass that around.

Our Founding Constitution In Danger

This is not new news, but this article might have some new bits of information within.

For those that have watched Glenn Beck, the progressives are pushing to alter the Constitution to incorporate a Second Bill of Rights. These are not the unalienable, nature’s God given rights – but ones “determined” by people (notice I am not even saying ‘government’ at this point). This is dangerous beyond imagination. For rights determined by man, can be later taken away, by man. And that, rings the death knell.

It is vital they be named.

Cass Sunstein, Lisa Brown, Eric Holder – all (and likely far more) operate within the Soros-funded American Constitution Society. Ring a bell?

If progressives manage to bring this about, it will be the beginning of the end.

For they know not what they do.

Stand up and be counted. Never give up, never give in. Remember November 2012. Now, more than ever.

Guess Who Got Raises

These are the best of times. For American CEOs apparently. According to NYT.

And yet:

“Pay skyrocketed last year because many companies brought back cash bonuses, says Aaron Boyd, head of research at Equilar. Cash bonuses, as opposed to those awarded in stock options, jumped by an astounding 38 percent, the final numbers show.”

However:

“And it’s not as if most workers are getting fat raises. The average American worker was taking home $752 a week in late 2010, up a mere 0.5 percent from a year earlier. After inflation, workers were actually making less.”

Just to turn on the way-back machine, how many folks out there remember this quote by the candidate Obama?

We’re not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that’s fairly earned. I mean, I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money. But, you know, part of the American way is, you know, you can just keep on making it if you’re providing a good product or providing good service. We don’t want people to stop, ah, fulfilling the core responsibilities of the financial system to help grow our economy.” —on Wall Street reform, Quincy, Ill., April 29, 2010

And don’t forget, the POTUS himself is earning millions from his book(s) while in a $400,000 per year job.

Just to remind you where the earnings are.

Oh, and just to put things in even greater perspective, the White House now admits the so-called stimulus has cost us $278,000 per job.

Wright Makes A Wrong

Great Jumpin Jehosophat, er, Jeremiah.

Come now, Pastor Wright, methinks you have that wrong. All Whites are not liars, and you are far from perfect.

I’d turn the other cheek but this can’t be allowed to go unanswered.

You need some serious help. You are poisoning the people in your audience.

Nevada Fats

Apparently, Senator Harry Reid wants millionaires to help pay down the debt/deficit.

Excuse me, Senator, but they aren’t the ones responsible for the debt. You (and most of Congress) are.

Besides, I’d think you just lost the support of some of your own with your call to alms.
