Remember Obama’s two-year salary freeze he imposed on federal workers?

Much ink has been poured over the fact that 51% of tax filers paid no federal income taxes in 2009.

You would think that with one of the weakest economic recoveries on record, President Obama would be desperately searching for ways to promote economic growth. It is, after all, an election year

Liberals had a dim view of Herman Cain’s character long before this week. They automatically ascribed bad motives to him and to his GOP supporters.

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

The last week brought us a striking contrast that tells us much about the current debate over the direction of this country. On one hand were the perpetually aggrieved protestors of Occupy Wall Street.

Politicians who are principled enough to point out the fraud of Social Security, referring to it as a lie and Ponzi scheme, are under siege. Acknowledgment of Social Security's problems is not the same as calling for the abandonment of its recipients. Instead, it's a call to take actions now, while there's time to avert a disaster.

Asked by ABC’s George Stephanopoulos if he regretted his promotion of the bankrupt solar panel maker Solyndra, Barack Obama said, “No, I don’t.” This cavalier answer provides yet another snapshot of the arrogance and ideological fixation that drives his presidency.

Richard Goldstone doesn’t know when to quit. Two years ago, the South African former judge led a United Nations fact-finding inquiry into the Israel-Gaza conflict.

(Peter Lemiska) – It’s no secret that Barack Obama and the Democrats want to raise taxes on the wealthy, but if they expect their plan to resonate with mainstream America, they have to counter the charges that they are engaging in class warfare. Obama is sensitive to those accusations and recently defended himself, arguing that the $14.5 trillion-plus national debt is too big to be reduced by budget cuts alone and that, in the interest of fairness, the wealthy, like those hedge fund managers, should pay the same higher tax rate as plumbers or teachers…

The question arises: How effective are weasel words in fighting off weasel words? With its leader having proposed to expand our deflating economy by redistributing another $1.5 trillion from private-sector producers to public-sector gluttons, the Obama Left’s talking point du jour is: “We are just asking the rich to pay their fair share.” The point here is not to rehearse the illogic of that assertion

In one of the least needed reassurances in modern political history, President Obama's top political man David Plouffe, “told Democrats late last week that the White House would not suffer from overconfidence. 'What I don't want to suggest is that we're sitting around and thinking everything is great,' he said.” With the White House's own economists predicting 9 percent or worse unemployment on Election Day, the president at about 39 percent job approval, college grads unable to find jobs, a quarter of American homes under water, no credible White House policy or strategy for changing things — and with most non-institutionalized Americans convinced we are in a recession that is going to get much worse — it is surpassing odd that Plouffe was worried that his fellow Democrats might think the president and his men believed everything to be hunky-dory. And yet, if it is not overconfidence driving White House strategy, what is?

The lengths Paul Krugman will go to further the lie that the rich don't pay their “fair share” of taxes knows no bounds. In his New York Times column Friday, the Nobel laureate in economics claimed, “[T] he federal tax burden has fallen for all income classes”: The [Congressional] budget office's numbers show that the federal tax burden has fallen for all income classes, which itself runs counter to the rhetoric you hear from the usual suspects

National Public Radio nicely set up President Obama’s bridge publicity stunt on Thursday morning by going to a Republican demanding more federal aid to cities for infrastructure. On their website, the headline was “Infrastructure Funds Benefit More Than The Economy.” Morning Edition substitute anchor David Greene announced their oh-so-convenient booking of a Republican: “A number of U.S.

Obama’s presidency lurches from fad to fad — from gays in the military to “green jobs” to the “Buffett rule.” Hyped as a profound presidency, it has turned out to be an embarrassingly frivolous one.

In early 2010, President Obama created the Bowles-Simpson commission on debt reduction. It was a shamelessly political move, designed to buy time in the budget debate and give Democrats cover through the November 2010 midterm elections.

**Written by Doug Powers No, not a “buffet tax” — that might come later as a “Let’s Move” initiative. This proposal will be a “Buffett tax” — as in Warren Buffett — who has called for the rich to pay a higher tax rate with plugged-up loopholes in an attempt to sacrifice even more money to Washington’s spending addiction : (Reuters) – President Barack Obama, in a populist step designed to appeal to voters, will propose a “Buffett Tax” on people making more than $1 million a year as part of his deficit recommendations to Congress on Monday.

From PrisonPlanet.com: In his increasingly desperate attempts to pander to a population that has by now entirely given up on the hope, and barely has any change left, Obama is going for broke (or technically the reverse) by setting the class warfare bar just that little bit higher. This time around, his targets are millionaires, [...]

BARACK OBAMA began his first term trying to turn around a struggling economy and reassure an electorate consumed by anxiety about jobs. It increasingly looks as though he will end it in the same way. On September 2nd the government reported no net jobs were created in August

From NewsMax.com: U.S. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell criticized President Barack Obama’s fiscal 2012 budget Monday, saying it locked spending at “completely unsustainable” levels. “The president talks like someone who recognizes that spending is out of control, but so far it hasn’t been matched with action,” McConnell said in a statement. “Americans don’t want a [...]
