The State of the Union

Posted on July 21, 2010 | Leave a comment

Many many people are becoming more and more upset with our President.  People are beginning to see him in action and aren’t liking what they see.  They feel betrayed and disillusioned.

And this is not Obama’s fault.

Arizona Lawsuit Backlash

Posted on July 13, 2010 | Leave a comment

There can only be one reason why Obama is suing Arizona:  To win votes in upcoming elections.

The law is wildly popular.  It mirrors Federal law except when it comes to profiling.  Arizona restricts it.  The Feds don’t.

But whatever the reason, it’s becoming increasingly clear to Americans that Obama is more concerned with his image than he is with fixing the problems facing the nation.

We all know there is a problem with immigration in America.  Specifically, a problem with folks coming across our Southern border.

Okay, so, got it.  Problem.

Unemployment and Benefits

Posted on July 1, 2010 | 6 comments

Once upon a time I became unemployed.  And I registered for benefits.

Now, I looked for a job; kinda.  But after not very long, it became apparent what I was up against.

My benefit was something like $150.00 a week.  If I found work, the first $50 I earned didn’t count against my benefit.  However, after that each dollar earned meant one less dollar in benefit.

Mismanagement 101

Posted on June 18, 2010 | Leave a comment

If you needed a reminder that Obama hasn’t ever managed anything, this should serve as an illuminating example:

Clinton said in a television interview in Ecuador on June 8 that President Barack Obama had ordered the Justice Department to challenge the Arizona law because he did not believe states should set immigration policies, which could differ.

“President Obama has spoken out against the law because he thinks that the federal government should be determining immigration policy,” she said according to a transcript posted on the State Department website.

The big deal?

The Good Govn’a of Arizona has this to say:

“If our own government intends to sue our state to prevent illegal immigration enforcement, the least it can do is inform us before it informs the citizens of another nation.”

And she’s right.

Management 101.

Thanks For Nothin’

And the hits just keep comin’. 

When Congress passed the Consumer Bill of Right’s Measure everyone thought it was just the greatest idea EVER.

I didn’t so.  When given the choice of who should protect my money; me or the government, I chose me.  Every time.  Me.

Well, guess what happens when the government takes care of me?  They don’t.

How in the world can you say you are managing this thing if THIS is true?

Health Care: Mandatory Fun

Posted on June 2, 2010 | Leave a comment

More and more we’re seeing what happens when health care “reform” is enacted. It removes signals, it gets in between patients and care causing them to make poorly incented decisions.  More and more government money is thrown down a well, not only failing to fill the well, but actually making it larger.

All the while, government officials continue to use the promise of “No more homework” to get themselves elected into power.  And we just go deeper and deeper into debt.

A Rose by Any Other Name…

Posted on May 29, 2010 | Leave a comment

Bait and switch.   That’s all it is.See, when someone tells you that a can of beans is 20% off, but they have raised the price of that can of beans by 25% first, it’s called a “bait and switch”.  And it’s common among shucksters and politicians.

The fact that Obama is pulling the same fast one shouldn’t be surprising.  The fact that he is baitin’ and switchin’ with the prison where we hold our terror suspects SHOULD be surprising.  And, I suspect, it’s surprising to him that we would be a bit upset with it.

You're Not Gonna Believe This

The leak in the Gulf is not Obama’s fault.

Whatever happened 5000 ft below sea level happened independent of Obama being President.  Things break, bad things happen.  And Obama being President didn’t hustle this disaster into existence.  Nothing he could have done, or not have done, would have prevented this from happening.
