It’s a ‘Framework,’ Not a ‘Plan’

Last night I glanced at the White House talking-points outline of Obama’s Big Important Speech and had to smile at the effrontery of this part: $4 Trillion in Deficit Reduction: The President is setting a goal of reducing our deficit by $4 trillion in 12 years or less. This deficit reduction would be phased in […]

Word of the Day: Sharing!

Just as I predicted, Obama’s Big Deficit Speech was big on sharing: As a country that values fairness, wealthier individuals have traditionally borne a greater share of this burden than the middle class or those less fortunate. . . . To meet this challenge [i.e., ballooning deficits], our leaders came together three times during the […]

‘Shared Sacrifice’ = Tax Increases

Today, Obama will give a major speech on deficits and here’s an Associated Press video report in which the reporter uses the phrase “shared sacrifice” to describe the president’s plan to call for repealing the Bush tax cuts: White House spokesman Jay Carney said Tuesday that the plan Obama will outline on Wednesday at George […]

I’d been planning to go to bed early but stayed awake long enough to catch this: President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said tonight that lawmakers have agreed on a temporary extension of government funding, averting a government shutdown while Congress considers a longer-term budget agreement. Boehner made the same announcement during a […]

Kaine Down By 13 To Allen. It Is Time.
Cry ‘Havoc!’ And Let Slip Jim Moran.

by Smitty Roanoke College delivers some unhelpful news for Kaine. swacgirl notes: Kaine did Virginians no favor as governor, and he has been closely associated with Democratic President Barack Obama’s liberal overreaching government policies including ObamaCare, something he claims to be proud of. In Virginia? What to do? For the Democrats, there is only one […]
