I Would Just Like To Point Out. . .

by Smitty . . .that anybody who is surprised that a mortal man cannot magically fix the economy ought to have their head examined. Yeah, he was supposed to be all that and scoop of ice cream, the most over-sold thin since XML. Sure, it’s a bad thing that his ideas aren’t proving much. But […]

Denison: Overflow Crowd Hears Herman Cain Slam Obama: ‘That’s Not Leadership!’

DENISON, Iowa Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain today denounced as “pathetic” the response of President Obama and other Democrats to the recent downgrade of U.S. credit. “Today, the president, Senator [John] Kerry and other Democrats now want to blame somebody for the credit downgrade – other than themselves,” Cain told a standing-room only crowd at […]

Liberals Spinning S&P Credit Downgrade: BLAME IT ON THE REPUBLICANS!

Nothing is more amazing than the ability of liberals — both politicians and “journalists” — to synchronize their lies.

Althouse Poll: 3-to-1 Against BHO In ’12

by Smitty Unscientific, but an interesting self-selected reader pool. As of 1400 EST, it looks like he’ll be honorably ousted: Again, I think we’re looking at an ego so monumental that he’ll pull the plug rather than risk defeat. The question there will be: “Why did Bush engineer the circumstances that forced BHO’s hand?”

Shoot Not The Messenger: Rather, Laugh

by Smitty Krauthammer from Fox All Stars: On President Obama’s proposed job-creation initiatives: An index of how spent he is intellectually on the issue of jobs is the campaign speech he gave today – the fourth in ten days in which he pivoted and he announced five initiatives. Listen to them: – Payroll tax extension […]
