Guess who has presided over 73.9 MILLION people being fired ? That would be Presentdent Obama. Since he assumed the Presidency 73.9 million people have been fired in America.

Based on what I've seen from Trump by watching him for over 20 years this is what I think he is up to ... This is the strategy not the motivation ... Trump wanted to draw Obama into a media debate, i.e. Trumps puts out a statement, Obama responds ... He had a bunch of subjects to choose from to try and start the debate ...

Well, the supposed adults over at NRO are wearing out their shoes stomping their feet about the budget deal.  They don't like it because it's not "big" enough.  Of course what is big enough ?  Most of them don't say.  Maybe the 61 billion of HR 1 would have been enough ?  Who knows, but one thing is for sure ...No matter what its size, 365 million or 61 billion, its not going to solve the long

Yes, we certainly could and can absorb another 9/11 sized attack but I wonder if Obama understands what that could unleash in America ? Up until now we have released the lean, mean dogs of war against the terrorists.  What we have not done is deal with their state sponsors in Saudi Arabia, Iran and Syria or unleash our big dogs or war. Another attack could easily cause Americans to demand that

Is Government taxing and spending the same thing as private earnings and spending ? I think not ...  private spending comes from earnings of production which has an inherent feedback loop that destroys the unproductive  ... government spending comes from taxes which are not earnings of production and are not inherently sustainable, like a shark it must keep moving forward or die ...  there is no

I've taken data from NASA for temperature station State College Pennsylvania and compared the raw data vs. the adjusted data.

O-6bama has been putting up beautiful 3 point shots all year (his speeches about health care) but just can't seem to get one to fall (no poll bounce ever).  The GOP is terrified that eventually one of these shots will get lucky.  But what the GOP and O-6bama don't realize is this.  The rim (reality) is now smaller than the ball.  He can't sink one because his solution won't fit into the real

Many pundits on the right are calling for a boycott of the summit.  What are they afraid of ?  That Obama will be able to shoot down the GOP's heath care ideas with another rethorical florish and a wave of his hand ? He has been giving speeches for this last year doing just that and look where it has gotten him.  Its is a myth that he can talk his way out of anything.  Reality doesn't work

From the Obama Budget we see the following new taxes on oil and coal. Oil and Gas Repeal Credit for Oil and Gas Produced from Marginal Wells - we used to give a tax break to producers to help make pumping oil out of marginal wells profitable.  Now more of those wells will be shut down and our domestic production of oil will drop as a result.

Always remember when Obama speaks on camera without his telepromter he boxes himself in.   The best lines from the Obama campaign in '08 have become the very things that are killing him today.  The more he promises the more he looks bad in the future.  The more he moderates on camera the more the left goes nuts. It doesn't matter if Obama looked better than the GOP today.  He made statements and

Obama is the like a great farm team player being promoted to the majors.  All the scouts (the MSM) raved about his long ball and opposing pitchers (Clinton, McCain) refused to challenge him.  Now we are late in the game (his first year) and there is no pitching around him.  So what happens ?  He steps up to the plate twice (Virginia and New Jersey) and strikes out in 3 pitches.   Just a

We, the American people, would still be in the dark about this second nuclear site if Iran had not gone public with it. Obama would never have put out that joint statement otherwise. Just think about what this means. We will hear about an Iranian nuke when Iran either detonates it or announces it. I'm glad I moved out of NYC.

Reiham Salam at NRO makes the argument that fee-for-service is the problem in our healthcare system today. So the simple free market concept of accepting a fee for a service is the problem. He argues that outcomes are what counts. Of course he is right, in a free market economy the outcome is the measure that people use to determine what services they will spend their own hard earned money on.

This Politico articles says that President Obama has uttered over 670,000 words in public since Jan. 20th.Thats about 3,000 pages or about 5 copies of a Harry Potter paperback.The dud, I mean dude, does like to hear himself talk.

To anyone who thinks that harsh interrogation (torture to liberals) can't work I would like to posit a simple example.Of course if I just wanted you to admit to a crime you didn't commit then of course you'll say whatever it takes to make it stop. So harsh methods will certainly "get" a confession from you. But a confession is not what I want. I want your atm pin code. I know you have one.

At least with Biden you could easily tell when he was lying to you. Of course with Obama it now seems that EVERYTHING was a lie so I guess it's now easy with him as well. You know the whole "if his lips are moving" thing ...or whenever he says:"Let me make one thing perfectly clear" (it won't be clear and he will be lying)"As I have always said" (Usually it was exactly the opposite)"As I said

I hear pro-obamacare folks talk about the people being forced into bankruptcy because of medical costs. In every case I've heard they all have one thing in common, THEY ARE ALL ALIVE. They are now broke but alive. In most other countries of the world, including Canada and Britain they would be dead.

I predict that the name Ted Kennedy will be brought up some much in the next 2 months that we will half expect to see Ted propped up in the background somewhere in support of whatever speaker is at the podium.These people are ghouls who elevated a man-slaughtering drunk bastard to the top of liberal leadership and they will not hesitate to sully what little good name he has in their attempt to

In his eulogy to Ted Kennedy in Time, Ted Sorensen writes: “Both a plane crash in Massachusetts in 1964 and the ugly automobile accident on Chappaquiddick Island in 1969 almost cost him his life, and the Chappaquiddick incident ultimately ended his bright prospects for still higher office.”The callous disregard for the woman, Mary Jo Kopechne, who actually, you know, died a horrible death by

President Obama seems to believe that doctors only care about things they can charge their patients for. He implies that if we only paid doctors more for preventative advice they would make sure we lived healthier lifestyles.I have been to several doctors over the last couple of years, a colon guy, a dermatologist, 3 heart care specialists, several ER doctors and several hospital on staff docs

At Hot Air they go into some of the whoppers covered by USA Today. Seems everyone missed the "drop you if you are sick" promise that is already covered by State and Federal laws. (hint: they can't drop you.) Note my earlier post about the NRO post on the subject.Jeff Carlson

Remember last year when Obama attacked Hillary's health care proposal because it had mandates that everyone have insurance ? This year its peachy to have said mandates ...Remember last year when Obama attacked McCain about his health coverage tax credit ?

Palin's Comments on Death Boards Mr. Smith at NRO ...Mr. Smith writes, "True, Palin would be a more effective critic of Obamacare if she didn't write like a college-student blogger. But her concerns are legitimate and substantive. And that shouldn't be lost in the criticism of her lexicon."Wow ... Mr. Smith you really are an intellectual blowhard.

Real Reforms in Health Care would be:Tort Reform (reduces costs)Medicare and Medicaid Reform (reduces costs)Mandate Reform (reduces costs, increases choices for consumers)Insurance Portability (reduces pre-existing condition issues, expands coverage for self employed and reduces costs)Obama's reforms do none of these things and in fact make some things worse.Jeff Carlson
