I thought we weren't allowed to talk this way when dealing with foreigners: "It's a battle -- we're going to win -- take no prisoners," the first lady said with a smile at a roundtable discussion with reporters in the White House State Dining Room.I...

Thanks a Million!

Sometime early yesterday morning, I received my one millionth visit. Eleven months and two weeks after my first post on October 12, 2008.I hope the first million is the hardest. It has been mostly fun, but not easy.When I started this blog, I really didn't...

My Congressman, Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), knows a lot about the importance of the privacy of medical records, having spent most of his adult life in and out of drug and alcohol rehabilitation. Yet Patrick is a hard line Democrat when it comes to government control...

Census Adds Question About Health Insurance

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 27, 2009 8 Comments

I haven't paid much attention to the upcoming 2010 Census, until the recent death of part-time Census worker Bill Sparkman, whose death under unclear circumstances is being shamelessly exploited by left-wing blogs.I went to the Census website, and took a look at the questions which...

Obama Is No FDR

Barack Obama often refers to Franklin D. Roosevelt in his speeches. But Roosevelt was the un-Obama when it came to war policy.Roosevelt took this country to all-out war with Japan, even though Japan only had attacked us once at Pearl Harbor. Roosevelt did not limit...

We do not know how or why Bill Sparkman -- a part time Census worker -- was killed in Kentucky. Let me repeat this, since this is the internet and lower case lettering does not carry any meaning: WE DO NOT KNOW HOW OR WHY...

Of Course You Will Go To Jail

This story has not received enough play, and has been lost in the shuffle of Obama's UN and G-20 appearances.The Senate Joint Committee on Taxation is considering the tax aspects of proposed Democratic health care bills. Republican Senator John Ensign has revealed that the bill...

Lying About The Public Option With Polls

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 25, 2009 2 Comments

The supporters of a government-run "public option" are touting a CBS/NY Times poll which purportedly shows that 65% of people support a public option. But examine how the question is framed, and it is clear that the question is intended to elicit a favorable response:"Would...

Is the Left-Wing Hoping for Violence?

During the 2008 campaign, there were serious concerns that al-Qaeda would attempt to disrupt the elections in the United States as it had disrupted the elections in Spain.Warnings about the threat of terrorism gave prominent left-wing bloggers an excuse to accuse the McCain campaign of...

Maybe This Is Why Obama Wants Paterson Gone

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 24, 2009 7 Comments

The efforts by Barack Obama to force NY Gov. David Paterson not to run for election in 2010 have roiled NY politics, and baffled many who wonder why a President felt the need to get involved in state politics.The crushing NY State budget gap has...

Zelaya The Insane

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 24, 2009 5 Comments

The saga of Manuel Zelaya should be a teachable moment to the Obama administration. As reported in the Miami Herald, Zelaya's insanity is seeping out. Zelaya claims he is the victim of radiation and mind control experiments and is being targeted by Israeli mercenaries.This is...

Get Rid of the Mandate

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 23, 2009 7 Comments

I have argued before that the focus on the public option, while necessary, missed the key defect in Democratic health care restructuring plans. The problem is the health care mandate, which by the way, Barack Obama opposed during the campaign.The mandate that every individual carry...

Little Nice To Say About The U.S.

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 23, 2009 6 Comments

Barack Obama's speech to the United Nations today had some positive aspects. He gave lip service to freedom of the individual and political rights.But overall, the speech was more of the same, that whatever the United States has done right, was just making up for...

Will He Apologize?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 23, 2009 2 Comments

Barack Obama speaks at the U.N. today. What an opportunity, to call out all the thugs and dictators, and to defend personal and political freedom which is under attack daily in Venezuela, Iran and elsewhere. A real opportunity.But if history is any guide, it is...

I Hope Obama Fails In Honduras

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 22, 2009 8 Comments

Thank you, HondurasFor standing up to the U.S. government's legally dishonest and morally bankrupt attempt to engineer the return to power of Manuel Zelaya, the Hugo Chavez wannabe. You have exposed the lie (are we allowed to say that word?) that the Obama administration supports...

Just Don’t Call Him Jimmy

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 20, 2009 4 Comments

How oddly circular and ironic that Jimmy Carter believes that most opponents of Obama's policies are racists. In fact, racism is not Obama's main problem. Jimmy Carter is.In modern politics, the most damaging label a President can receive is to be compared to Jimmy Carter,...

Watch Reagan, Not The Obamathon

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 20, 2009 5 Comments

Barack Obama is flooding the news shows this morning with appearances on five networks (excluding Fox, of course). More of the same, as if an address to a joint session of Congress and "major" speeches almost every day were not enough.The attitude from the top...
