not likely
Our lovable Vice President Joe Biden talking to Larry King:
I am very optimistic about — about Iraq. I mean, this could be one of the great achievements of this administration. You’re going to see 90,000 American troops come marching home by the end of the summer. You’re going to see a stable government in Iraq [...]
well…yeah
What Alan Bock said in the OC Register:
It’s not that there isn’t a good deal of truth in such criticisms of the ways of a “Washington” he invoked more as an epithet than a place. But at what point does a president of the United States take responsibility for his part in feeding the atmosphere [...]
grading on a curve
We certainly can’t say that the President of the United States lacks self-confidence. When asked to grade his performance as President, he gave himself a B+. Can’t imagine what kind of curve he was using to come up with that grade. Obviously our citizen king knows better than we do about, well, everything, so [...]
health care “reform”
The House passed HR3962, commonly known as PelosiCare / ObamaCare, this evening, with 39 Dems voting against and one Republican (Cao) voting for it. The battle isn’t over yet. Let’s keep fighting.
In other news, this happened. Very cool of former President W.
what’s different
I don’t like federal interference in private industry. Have I made that clear enough yet? That means I would have been opposed to former Treasury Secretary Paulson, acting (I assume) on the orders of President Bush, putting heavy pressure on the head of AIG to step down after AIG received one of their many sacks [...]
very impressive
I’ve had doubts about President Obama since I first took a look at his campaign, but even I didn’t expect this level of confusion.
Now-Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner - isn’t too keen on paying taxes, even when it’s clearly explained to him how to do it. It inspires such confidence knowing that our Treasury Secretary can’t [...]
for entertainment purposes only
Oh no… Obama is so much like Bush!!! This link to similarities between President Bush and Barack Obama’s rhetoric / record is posted merely for the expected leftist meltdown it would cause. Of course, the writer also notes when Obama has changed his position to mirror that of the Bush administration. Good stuff. For the [...]
more on the “rescue plan”
One day after the House Republicans, with the help of a significant number of Democrats, stopped this disaster of a federal bailout, the world hasn’t collapsed. The Dow rebounded a little today after its terrible day yesterday. I still think those who voted against this bill did the right thing. I am, however, unsympathetic to [...]
more reservations
There’s now a possibility that our Congress may pass a slightly modified version of Bush’s socialist bailout. I guess we should be grateful that the House Republicans were allowed some input in the current draft, because it could be much worse than it is. However, it’s not clear that the House Republicans got enough of [...]
rnc: the end and the beginning
There were three major storylines at the RNC today that had nothing to do with Sarah Palin. The first was the ceremonial end of the Bush era. The second was Fred’s red meat speech and his stirring account of McCain’s military service. The third — Joe Lieberman incinerating those bridges between himself and the Democrats [...]
