Obama Kabuki Wrecking Your 401(k)

Let’s see: Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped another 91 points Tuesday, down to 12,501.30, having lost 223 points in the past three sessions. If stocks are down, then bonds are up, right? Nope: Treasuries fell [Tuesday], eroding a gain from [Monday], as President Barack Obama threatened to veto House Speaker John Boehner’s plan to raise […]

Holy Freaking Crap: White House Spokesman Admits It’s Just Kabuki? UPDATED: Now With Video

Headline at Ace of Spades HQ quotes Jay Carney: To Even Ask That The President Show His Plan Is To Repeat a “Republican Talking Point” Which is, of course, a blunt confession that Obama is concerned about nothing but politics. He’s not trying to solve a problem. He’s ginning up a phony crisis and doing […]

A Democrat Admits the Truth

When a Democrat says something that’s actually true, that’s what we call “news,” and Rep. Pete Stark calls the debt-ceiling debate a “charade.” “Charade,” “kabuki dance” — to-may-to, to-mah-to — Obama and Harry Reid are putting on a political pageant that doesn’t deceive anyone with enough brains to see what’s really going on. Andy at […]

Obama’s Foreign Policy Is About as Successful as Obama’s Domestic Policy

Which is to say, it’s a pathetic joke: The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs’ pronouncement today that Libya is a “stalemate” would, I think, have gotten a bit more attention but for the debt debate. We recently passed the four-month anniversary of “Operation Odyssey Dawn,” the U.S.-led air assault on Moammar Qaddafi’s regime. Now, 128 […]

More Honest and Interesting Than Whatever Obama’s Gonna Say on TV

Because I refuse to watch Obama’s phony primetime TV speech, and figure you don’t want to watch it either, here’s a three-minute video press release about a proposed independent conservative film: They’re trying to raise $130,000 to turn that into a movie, so go check ’em out and see what you think. Whatever you do, […]

Spooky Kabuki: More Free Primetime TV for the Summer Bummer Obama Drama

The World’s Least Plausible Reality Show continues: Mr Obama will address the nation tonight at 9pm Eastern Time and U.S. leaders are trying to reassure jittery investors as Wall Street markets closed down and global indexes wobbled today. Jeebus, this guy doesn’t know when to quit, does he? On the bright side, Black Monday was merely […]

BLACK MONDAY? Obama’s Debt-Ceiling Crisis Strategy Could Sink Wall Street

Let’s be clear: President Obama has orchestrated this unnecessary drama for the specific political purpose of causing a crisis that he — with the willing assistance of the liberal media — hopes to blame on Republicans. Yet while Obama, the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) are scripting a kabuki dance, economic reality […]

A: Have You Considered Tendering Your Resignation, Sir?

by Smitty (via Memeorandum) “Obama: Can They Say Yes to Anything?” Gerard noted this great typo, figures that the phrase ‘Hope and Change‘ may have engendered a reassignment of meaning as a result of the debt limit negotiations: “I’ve been left at the alter now a couple of times,” Obama said of the talks with […]
