As if the situation could not look any bleaker on the economic and job front than what I posted yesterday, a found disturbing chart on a left leaning blog site, amid a lot of concern the job situation is going to be a real political albatross for Obama and the Dems. Here’s the chart comparing […]

It seems the ‘true conservatives’ just can’t get over some facts that have made him politically immune on a myriad of policy matters. In general, and going at the strength of the GOP, President Obama has basically continued the Bush national security policies, adding his own flair and style here and there: He is staying the […]

I am swamped at work and awaiting the new state wide unemployment numbers (which should come out tomorrow while I am traveling), but we are already getting a horrid glimpse at the ever bleak economic situation.
