Maddow About the Damned Dam?

Hoover Dam has become something of a liberal icon these days.

Who Are These Fat-Cat Few at the Top?

Goolsbee’s Gaffes

The Obama administration is having a difficult time explaining the unemployment rate, which has been above 9 percent for 27 consecutive months and is today 1.3 percentage points higher than it was when Obama took office. The October numbers, due to be released on Friday, are unlikely to look any better. So, his administration goes to great lengths to spin its own unique set of facts.

One Year Later, Obama Still Isn’t Listening

One of the largest landslide elections in the history of the United States took place one year ago today. Free-market Republicans, riding a wave of public anger at bailouts, stimulus, and big-government programs, swept into power, capturing 63 seats and control of the U.S.

President ‘Regular Guy,’ &c.

Saw a headline that made me smile, I swear: “Obama’s team banks on his ‘regular guy’ appeal.” (Article here .) Our president, regular guy? Where? An Antioch faculty lounge

Washington Dems: Clueless on Jobs

Washington Democrats are not just out to lunch on jobs. They have devoured the entire buffet table.

Obama’s FDA Executive Order

To much hype, the Obama administration has issued an executive order (EO), allegedly designed to reduce the growing problem of drug shortages. This is undoubtedly a complex subject and there are a variety of factors at work, but the text of the EO reveals something quite different from what most reports suggest, namely that the administration plans to work with industry to make it easier for pharmaceutical companies to address the problem of product shortages.

When it Comes to Wealthy Campaign Donors, What’s in a Name?

**Written by Doug Powers This one’s better if you first read a quote from the First Lady from back in June : “See, what you all need to know about the President you helped to elect is that when it comes to the people he meets, Barack has a memory like a steel trap,” For even more evidence to validate that claim, fast forward the tape to Sunday’s $35,800-per-couple Seattle-area fund raiser : The fund raiser was held in the 27,000-square foot, art-draped home of former Microsoft chief operating officer Jon Shirley. Obama deemed the art collection unforgettable

Obama Once Again Declares He Wants To Circumvent Congress

From The Blaze: Remember in July when President Obama told a Latino rights group that he wished he could “bypass” Congress in order to get things done? Here’s a refresher: Well if you thought that was just an anomaly, or an off-the-cuff remark, you may want to think again.  On Wednesday, Obama repeated the sentiments [...]

Obama: “The public isn’t paying attention… they shouldn’t.”

Obama is told that 69% are against raising the debt ceiling, only 24% support it. His reply? “Let me distinguish between professional politicians and the public at large … the public is not paying close attention … They shouldn’t … We’re paid to worry about it.” (i.e. career politicians know better than WE THE PEOPLE [...]

White House Flunks Reality Check

From The Heritage Foundation: History is not a strong point of this Administration. Last month it was President Obama declaring another “sputnik moment” for America–only to rattle off a list of big government ideas completely at odds with how Eisenhower responded to Sputnik. Yesterday, it was White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs delivering another dose of [...]

The Worst of Obama in 2010

From Intellectual Conservative: With 2010 drawing to a close, President Obama appears to be ending the year on a positive note.

Obama Mispronounces “Corpsman” From Teleprompter

Not only does he mispronounce “corpsman” (read ‘core-man’ for any liberals reading) as “corpse-man” twice, but also gets the corpsman’s name wrong, first saying “Christian” and then “Christopher.”

Obama’s Teleprompter Breaks, Good Thing He Uses Two!

Last week, Obama’s left-side teleprompter crashed to the ground breaking into many pieces mid-speech. Luckily, Barack never travels without a backup TOTUS. He apologized and continued on with the speech, with his head cocked to his right for the remainder of the speech. I wonder if he got a crick in his neck?

This Week’s Teleprompter Gaffes

Obama Decides To “Cinco De Cuatro” The Border Fence

The Obama white house recognized the holiday “Cinco de Mayo” a day early on May 4. Obama meant to make a joke saying “Welcome to Cuatro de Mayo,” (the fourth of May) and instead turned his joke into a gaffe saying “Cinco de Quatro” which translates “fifth of fourth” or “five of four.” 5/4/2009 President [...]
