You are at the archive for November, 2008
At the risk of tooting my own horn, I’d like to point out that a prediction I made in my last post has already come true. Writing just two days ago, November 24, 2008, I prognosticated that President Obama would defend failed economic policies — specifically these bailout plans that grow larger and more numerous [...]

I’ve been surprised by the recent spate of articles bemoaning President-elect Obama’s predicament. He is facing, we are told, a vast array of very serious problems, several of which may defy solution. Heading the list of predicaments begging for the soon-to-be President’s attention is, of course, the financial crisis and related economic slowdown. Though the nation [...]

Do yourself a favor and spend 10 minutes watching the results of one-sided media.

I’ve borrowed this blog’s title and the text below from Dick Morris. The former Clinton toe-sucking eccentric makes some obvious points about a potentially terrible Obama appointment.

Wealth redistribution has been practiced in America for 75 years. Beginning with Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal and greatly expanded by Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society, the federal government and state governments have transferred more than $7 trillion, money taken from some Americans and doled out to others in patterns as ill-conceived as they are haphazard. The results of American [...]

The following is from the British Telegraph.co.uk, written by Christopher Booker and published November 16, 2008:

Question: What do AIG, California and New York State, Philadelphia and Atlanta and New York City and Phoenix, Ford and Chrysler and General Motors, American Express and goodness knows how many other companies and governments have in common?

From Obama’s victory speech: “The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you — we as a people will get there.” [...]

In the aftermath of the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections Democrats repeatedly screamed “voter fraud” to explain their candidate’s defeat. The Coleman/Franken Senate race in Minnesota is showing signs of the real thing as the indubitable masters of voter fraud try to pad their Senate advantage.

Interviewed by Tom Brokaw on NBC’s Meet the Press, President-elect Obama spokesperson Valerie Jarrett affirms that Barack Obama is “ready to take power and rule from day one.” Let’s hope she just misspoke…
