Schoolyard Bully

Posted by    Thursday, October 22, 2009 at 9:40pm

I’m late to this story, so I’ll mostly link to others. Barack Obama tried to bar Fox News from the White House news pool, a move that is unprecedented.

I have been sounding the alarm about Obama’s intolerant tendencies for a year. I was right.

Fortunately, the schoolyard bully backed down, because the...

Alan Grayson, Democratic Congressman from Florida, is building his claim to fame on the accusation that 45,000 Americans die each year from lack of health insurance. Grayson even has started a website to count the dead. Grayson bases this number on a study released by Harvard Medical School and the Cambridge...

I’m no polling methods expert, but something about automated telephone polls strikes me as strange. Such as this question and method of response:

Do you think that Barack Obama loves America?
If yes, press 1. If no, press 2. If you’re not sure, press 3.

The responses to this question in a Public Policy...

Obama’s Fox News Diversion

Posted by    Wednesday, October 21, 2009 at 7:05am

With each passing day, I am becoming more and more convinced that the Obama administration’s sustained and crude attacks on Fox News are a big diversion.

Sure, the attacks on Fox News are unprecedented in the post-Nixon era. Barack Milhous Obama may not be change we can believe in, but it is...

Strong-Arming Your Doctor

The process by which Democratic leaders are strong-arming various groups to coerce support for health care restructuring is a warning sign to all about the abuse of government power which will take place if the Democratic proposals pass.

The Democrats shook down the pharmaceutical industry to gain advertising dollars in support of...

The Question Answers Itself

From Chicago-Sun Times columnist Steve Huntley:

The White House trying to dictate who’s a news organization. Democrats out to gut a business group. Obama media allies damning Americans as racist, unpatriotic and treasonous. Is this the America Obama promised when he campaigned to end the cynical and divisive politics of the past?

NY Times Hatchet Job on Christie

Posted by    Tuesday, October 20, 2009 at 8:43am

The NY Times wants John Corzine, who never met an election he couldn’t buy, to defeat Chris Christie in the NJ Governor’s race. So the Times is back to its old (never really changed) self, engaging in a hatchet job masquerading as news close to an election based on presumptions...

Baucus Bill Released When It Doesn’t Matter Anymore

When everyone was talking about the Baucus Bill (the Senate Finance Committee proposal), there was no actual Baucus Bill (something I quietly pointed out). Now there is a real Baucus Bill, and it is a whopping 1502 pages. (h/t The Note)

The actual Bill was released at the very moment it was...

Is There a Plan B for Iran?

Comments
Permalink
Posted by    Monday, October 19, 2009 at 8:17am

The Obama administration has put its hopes of stopping the Iranian nuclear weapons program on negotiations with Iran. At best, Iran has been an unwilling participant, seeking to buy time.

I suspect Iran’s attitude is about to change for the worse. A suicide bombing took...

Over a month ago, I was optimistic that President Obama would act decisively on Afghanistan. With each passing week, it grows more clear that I was wrong.

I’m starting a new theme, the Saturday Night Card Game, to highlight the use of the race card as a political tool. Those on the left, lacking meritorious arguments, increasingly turn to false accusations of racism as a way of ending an argument they are losing. At this point in time,...

On January 31, 2009, I wrote that Turkey Looking Like The Next Iran:

My prediction: Turkey is the next Iran, unless Obama stops blaming the U.S. for Islamist aggression and gives support to Turkey’s secular institutions, including the Turkish army. Jimmy Carter tried the blame America first tactic; it didn’t win us...
