The POTUS Is Restless

Which explains a lot and why he cannot seem to focus.

(Found this in a comment in a post on Don Surbers blog. Unfortunately, can’t determine the original commenter for proper attribution.)

Congress Will Still Spend Our Money

Posted on December 28, 2010 | Leave a comment

In case you didn’t know from earmarks, there are also lettermarks and phonemarks that Congress uses to funnel monies in directions they want it to go.

Happy now? No? Then you should read this piece by Allahpundit at Hot Air.

Stay mad, vote in 2012 – and beyond – for those you know are conservative (and don ‘t just say it). Learn to submit FOIA requests to try and make the government own up.

Don’t give up.

I have never heard of a union creating jobs, have you?

Historically, unions came about to protect the rights of employees – of companies that were made by the businessmen that had the vision to devise and sell products.

Has a union ever done that? (And I am not referring to a company that was literally handed over to a union, cough – GM, by our, cough – administration.)

Well, look who’s in discussion about creating jobs.

Obama & Labor Unions.

Somebody isn’t learning. Or even listening.

Crude Prices Rise Early 2011

Posted on December 23, 2010 | Leave a comment

At least, that’s according to Joe Petrowski, CEO of Gulf Oil and the Cumberland Gulf Group.

And this is all it takes folks. One person to start the ball rolling by mentioning it first. Watch others follow suit, which then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Who to thank for this? Oh, I’d say – the moratorium on oil exploration and drilling for our own country instituted by our own government.

UPDATE: Nuclear Winter

Can you believe it’s – now?

Senate GOP leaders take heat over millions of dollars in earmarks

Thune and Cornyn faced a barrage of hostile questions about their earmarks by reporters from NPR, ABC News and NBC News.

“Going through this bill, there is earmark after earmark from the both of you, millions of dollars in earmarks from the two of you and from other senators,” ABC’s Jonathan Karl told Cornyn and Thune. “How do you have any credibility on this? Why do you have earmarks?”

And slowing the vote by reading the entire START treaty (heh):

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs on Wednesday blasted Republican opposition to the New START nuclear arms treaty, calling it a “new low in putting political stunts ahead of our national security.”

Sen. Jim DeMint’s (R-S.C.) call to read the entire treaty on the Senate floor in an effort to delay the ratification was described by Gibbs as “the height of hypocrisy.”

“While some express concern that the Senate doesn’t have time to debate the treaty, Sen. DeMint wants to waste 12 hours to read the text of a treaty that has been available to every member of the Senate and the public for more than eight months,” Gibbs said.

UPDATE: Sen. Jim DeMint backs down from reading the START Treaty document ….. man up, Jim.

Congress Job Disapproval At 83 Percent

Posted on December 15, 2010 | 1 comment

Which means, their approval rating is at 13 percent.

This is according to the most recent Gallup poll published today.
What’s more, since October, the approval rating for Democrats went from 38 to 16 percent.
Down by half.

Merry Christmas, dolts. We now have the worst Congress on record, so far.
And the year isn’t even over yet.

$1.1T Spending Bill Oinking Its Way to the Floor

Posted on December 14, 2010 | Leave a comment

Tomorrow. Wednesday. The Ides of December.

This is the funding for the monstrosity known as Obamacare. It is ladeen with Pork, aka earmarks (as I heard on the Sean Hannity raadio show this day around 4 to 5pm). I agree with Don Surber’s post about Boehner’s call to the POTUS to veto it.

Crank up the phone lines, folks, this is the flip the Congress is giving us for Christmas because of our rising interest and activism in our Republic Government.

It is no coincidence that this is coming on the heels of Federal Judge Henry Hudson’s ruling about individuals having to purchase insurance (when the Commerce Clause in the US Constitution does not, and never did, claim regulating commerce extends beyond the state level).

Congress wants to send us a message? Well, pick up the phone and send them one also.

Other sites on this issue:
Michelle Malkin, Hot Air, Gateway Pundit

Hot Air shows an update that indicates the earmark count is now near 6,500 earmarks in all totaling $8.3 billion in all, at least.
When the POTUS first bragged about Congress passing the Healthcare (Obamacare) bill, he expressed happiness that they “included no earmarks.” Okay, POTUS, now is the time to express your dissatisfaction by breaking out the veto pen from its mothball status.

From Michelle Malkin’s article:
One commenter, who picked a page at random (877), found that the bill has designated $350 million to create a new “San Francisco Bay Restoration Program.” Others have noted that $413,000 have been appropriated for peanut research in the deep South and nearly $250,000 for virus free wine grapes in Washington State…

Remember this?

A Disappointment of Representation

Posted on December 14, 2010 | Leave a comment

Can’t say I am thrilled about Rep. Steny Hoyer winning re-election.
Now, even moreso after reading this –

Hoyer: Opponents’ Tactics ‘Poisonous to Our Future’

Video at the link.

At least he’s up for re-election again in two years …….

Is This What the Left Wants Of Us?

Posted on December 10, 2010 | Leave a comment

Frankly, it might be. Question is, how do we avoid falling into such a trap? Can we keep from sniping at each other and truly focus on the real problems in a controlled, professional manner? We need to.

Frank Luntz Focus Group Erupts Over Obama’s ‘Hostage’ Comment (Video)

My point, don’t let “just words” from an official (POTUS or otherwise) drive you to a point of no return in anger. It simply gives them the edge. And if you want to win the argument, keep a cool head.
