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 [...]
that’s a scary proposition
CBS newsman Bob Schieffer says that “Real security is built on trust in the government.” He actually wrote that! Read it here.
Trust in the government. That’s a scary proposition if you really think about it. The more bureaucracy you add to deal with a potential crisis, the more likely it is that the potential crisis [...]
rules and other stupid things
Some new failed jihadist won’t be seeing his 72 virgins.
Not yet anyway. How fortunate those people on that Northwest flight are that the guy didn’t quite have the procedure down for detonating the explosive and that their fellow passengers and airline crew members took the initiative to deal with the threat. This won’t always be the case. Someday the United States may have [...]
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 [...]
try something else
Let’s move on from the Barack Obama birth certificate controversy. Much more important things to worry about.
Snopes.com debunks the rumors that President Obama is not a natural-born citizen, and thus ineligible to be President of the United States here.
According to Snopes, the Certificate of Live Birth provided by the Obama campaign is not a forgery. [...]
great headline
Roger Simon’s article at Politico : “Obama plays Goldilocks on Iran“.
Ha. In all seriousness, though, I can’t say that I’m happy about the way President Obama has handled this Iran election mess. Those who object to President Obama’s handling of this situation aren’t asking for a military intervention here. What we expect from our President [...]
undeniable truths from reason online
Here’s a few things we might want to know about this new and fabulous grand government scheme, more commonly known as a national health care plan. Reason Online breaks it down here.
First, that the proposed national health care plan won’t cover everyone.
Second, that the subsidized lower plan premiums on a government-run / public plan would [...]
patriotic dissent?
First, I am going to do something unusual and explain why I haven’t been blogging as much as I was before. It’s quite simple — there’s just too much wrong with what’s been going on in this country under the Obama administration and I just don’t have the energy to fight all those bad ideas [...]
being the opposition
I’m sure there are many good reasons to oppose President Obama’s nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. What concerns me is the decision-making process that produced this nominee. We seem to be more interested in a candidate’s personal story or appeal to important minority groups than his or her ability to, you [...]
