Mitt Romney pulled out a weak win in Michigan last night. So that means we are stuck with him as the GOP candidate against Obama. I don’t need to emphasize how underwhelmed I am. I was happier with the McCain selection in 2008 – and I was not thrilled then either. Mitt has no more [...]

Today we are blessed with two harsh examples of how the GOP took a growing wave of anti-government anger in the electorate in 2010 and are about to blow it by nominating a big government GOP candidate (Mitt Romney) to go up against a big government liberal Democrat (Barack Obama). A lot of this has [...]

I always marvel at people who think PR is more powerful than reality. The bureaucrats in DC are a prime example of this weird belief system. They put out dodgy unemployment numbers and expect everyone suffering from a poor job market to suddenly think everything is OK! It’s clearly magic wand time in DC again. [...]

It seems we have not learned our lesson yet on how badly out of control the federal government is. You’d think we would have learned from ObamaCare and the Frank-Dodd-Morgtage debacle how shoddy (but always ‘well meaning’) legislation can wreak havoc when it finally becomes law, policy, processes and procedures. The Frank-Dodd-Morgtage disaster is a [...]

My apologies for the light posting, massive meetings and travel recently.  And thanks to DJStrata for stepping in while I was engaged elsewhere. Not too surprisingly, the one man who represents the biggest threat to business as usual in DC is on the receiving end of a character assassination hit job from DC’s Political Industrial [...]

This has been a fascinating election cycle in one important way. All sides of the Political Industrial Complex of this nation (centered in DC, NY City and LA) have been trying to ignore the Big Elephant in the room: The American Voters and their anti-government rage. The NY Times comes out spinning like a top [...]

The establishment GOP better understand one thing right now. We The People do not care how much campaign money candidate Romney has, how well liked he is by the Political Industrial Complex or how nice his hair is – he will never be acceptable as the GOP nominee for President. Not now, not in 2012, [...]

The President is in serious danger of becoming invisible as the GOP race begins to produce sparks – primarily  because the GOP side is lining up to be a battle between Tea Party Libertarians/Independents and the Establishment GOP. Obama is not only a known quantity, but his inability to rethink his positions and explore outside [...]

Update: This is disturbing – we apparently have a leader who as turned inward into isolation (and one must consider, depression): The gist is this: President Obama has become a lone wolf, a stranger to his own government. He talks mostly, and sometimes only, to friend and adviser Valerie Jarrett and to David Axelrod, his [...]

Did an American president just assassinate a US Citizen without any due process, without any court case or verdict of guilty? While the death of a blood thirsty Islamo Fascist is on par with the death of a blood thirsty Nazi who slaughtered innocent Jews in a concentration camp, the fact is Nazi mass murderers [...]

I have hesitated to pontificate too much on the gun runner fiasco that let thousands of guns out on the street to maim and kill. Trust me, the government bureaucracy is capable of immense mistakes caused by what normal people would call criminal negligence. Basically, stupidity at such a level it is a danger or [...]

Today’s headlines indicate that the Democrat political machine is desperate and flailing about as their support in the nation crumbles. Finally, after 2+ years of arrogant denial they are realizing they are not the darling of voters, nor are they the clever Svengalis of political leadership. At best they are naive and bumbling. At worst [...]

I am not sure what to make of this news, because it signals that the White House may have a hidden core of sanity hidden some place within its extensive liberal fantasy land: In a statement Friday, Obama said he had ordered Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lisa Jackson to withdraw the proposal, in part because [...]

I have to laugh at the dried up, knee-jerk and lame attacks from the tired liberal left’s old guard these days. It seems they have decided to trot out the race card and try for more white guilt. I guess they missed the memo. In 2008 America elected an African American (or Black if you [...]

Barack Obama has decided to stomp his foot, hold his breathe and threaten to hurt senior citizens if he does not get his way: President Obama on Tuesday said he cannot guarantee that retirees will receive their Social Security checks August 3 if Democrats and Republicans in Washington do not reach an agreement on reducing [...]
